Yue Guan will naturally attend the premiere of "Mermaid".
There were quite a few guests at the premiere, but it wasn't too star-studded.
Because it is obvious that "Mermaid" and "Old Paoer" are fighting in the ring.
And well circles are very intimidating in the eyes of many people.
Yue Guan and Guoshi don't have to leave Jingzhuan, and even Deng Chao and Damimi don't have to leave now, but other celebrities don't have this courage.
If Deng Chao and Damimi hadn't been expelled from this circle long ago, they wouldn't be so single.
In this situation where coming is equivalent to taking sides, the premiere of "Mermaid" naturally looked a bit shabby.
Yue Guan did not specially invite anyone to support "Mermaid".
That's not necessary.
This movie is not his movie.
Yue Guan also became known as a screenwriter.
Moreover, the script of "Mermaid" is not particularly good at all, so Yue Guan did not want to overshadow the film.
The success or failure of this movie has little to do with him.
Just help Yue Guan stand on the platform.
He didn't take the shabby lineup to heart, because when "Wolf Warrior 2" premiered in his previous life, there were fewer stars attending the premiere.
But without delay, "Wolf Warrior 2" is a box office hit.
Things like personal connections are of little use to the box office of a movie.
In the final analysis, whether the box office is more or less depends on the audience.
However, Yue Guan was open-minded. Deng Chao and Damimi were not as open-minded as Yue Guan.
Deng Chao's tone was a bit unwilling: "I made many calls, but less than one-third of the people agreed to come."
Damimi sighed: "Me too, I thought we had completely defeated Jingquan, but once our position was tested, our confidence was revealed."
"Okay, don't be sad. It's useless to be a wallflower. A good-looking movie is better than anything else." Yue Guan said.
Lin Yoona nodded vigorously: "Oppa is right."
Oppa is so handsome, no matter what he says, he is right.
"I can only comfort myself in this way. I hope the quality of "Mermaid" can conquer the audience." Deng Chaodao.
"It shouldn't be a big problem."
Da Mimi has no confidence.
Let alone Da Mimi, Yue Guan didn't have much confidence.
Naturally, it is impossible for "Mermaid" to find Zhou Xingchi as director, and Yue Guan will not let Deng Chao direct and star in it. Deng Chao is a good actor, but the movies he directed and starred in are not quality.
The director of "Mermaid" was looking for a comedy director whose name Yue Guan had never heard of in his previous life and who was only moderately famous in this life.
This director has made two comedy movies before, both of which received good reviews and box office.
So the "Mermaid" project was handed over to him.
But it’s really hard to say what kind of photos can be taken.
Yue Guan didn't care much.
As for the director's name, it doesn't matter. He is just a sidekick anyway and does not deserve a name.
Yue Guan chatted with the director, and then the movie quickly started showing.
Regarding the plot of "The Mermaid", Yue Guan didn't forget much. After all, his memory was particularly good.
After watching this version of "The Mermaid" for five minutes, Yue Guan nodded secretly.
Well enough.
Not much different from the previous life.
To be honest, the movie "Mermaid" is not a special test of the director's skills. The director's skills are definitely not as good as Zhou Xingchi's, but he shot strictly according to the script, and there is not much difference between the film and the original version.
The Deng Dynasty is still the same Deng Dynasty.
Compared with Zhang Yuqi, Damimi's acting skills may be a little worse, but the audience's requirements for acting skills are not particularly high.
In terms of appearance and figure, Da Mimi does not lose, or even outperforms her. This is not a deduction.
And Yoona Lin's performance as a mermaid is definitely a plus compared to Fei Xia, the heroine in her previous life.
The appearance alone is a gap that cannot be bridged.
The director's shortcomings are made up for by the heroine, and the other situations have not changed much. In terms of the quality of the finished film, the quality of this version of "Mermaid" and Zhou Xingchi's version of "Mermaid" are between 50 and 50.
It's certainly not better than that.
But he didn’t lose much.
When some famous scenes were performed, the audience was still laughing very loudly.
For example, the section at the police station:
"what are you laughing at?"
"I remember happy things."
"What happy thing?"
"My wife has given birth."
(HHHH)
"Why are you laughing again?"
"My wife also gave birth to a baby."
"Your wives are the same person?"
"Yeah… "
(HHHHHHHH)
…
"Hey, let's get down to business. Well, that mermaid you just talked about. Is she beautiful?"
"It's not a question of whether she's pretty or not! She's really that kind, that rare kind... Her eyes are like mung beans, her nose is like garlic, her teeth are pointy, she's very cute... It's a pity that it was too dark that day, I couldn't see her breasts clearly..."
(Pfft—)
"You bully others too much. I have tolerated you for a long time!"
"My wife has given birth."
"You were clearly laughing at me, and you never stopped!"
"Mr. Liu, we have received strict training. No matter how funny it is, we will never laugh... unless we can't help it."
…
Seeing this passage again, although it was not the first time, Yue Guan also laughed.
Hearing the laughter from the audience, Deng Chao, Damimi and Lin Yuner all breathed a sigh of relief.
For a comedy, the audience’s laughter is the best compliment.
"Yue Guan, your script is really good." Deng Chao gave Yue Guan a thumbs up.
"Brother Chao acted well. The scene in the police station just now is worth at least 100 million at the box office. And it will definitely become a famous scene. It will hit the screen on various short videos of Douyin at Bilibili. Brother Chao, you want to be very popular." ”
Deng Chao thought Yue Guan was comforting himself.
Not really.
This is the most popular part of "Mermaid".
It can be said that in terms of comedy effect, this plot is the best of the best, and its influence is certainly huge.
After the premiere, the publicity and distribution department will use this plot as the basis for marketing, which will definitely attract many people.
Of course, that's all for later.
Yue Guan has watched the complete "Mermaid" and can basically give this version of "Mermaid" the same score as the original version.
To say how amazing it is, it really isn't.
Are you kidding me? Laughed.
This is not a divine film.
It can even be said to be a bit vulgar.
But it is very popular, very friendly to the audience, and the values it promotes are also very positive.
Therefore, Yue Guan estimates that the reputation of "Mermaid" will not be particularly good, but the box office is not expected to be bad.
This is indeed the case.
"Mermaid" opened with a rating of 7.9, and it is falling rapidly. It is far inferior to the 8.5 score of "Lao Pao'er" in the same period. Although the rating of "Lao Pao'er" is also declining, it is still no problem to crush "Mermaid".
But at the box office, "Mermaid" simply outperformed "Old Paoer".
The greater the difference in reputation between the two, the greater the difference in box office performance.
This strange sight left countless people stunned.
Guan Mao, the director of "Old Paoer", has an extremely complicated mood.
He even felt that it would be better to let "Mermaid" have a better reputation than "Old Paoer".
This feeling of being beaten at the box office despite clearly being crushed by word-of-mouth is even more uncomfortable than the feeling of lagging behind in all aspects.
