The box office performance of "Embarrassed in Hong Kong" was actually not huge.
Just falling all the way down.
But it cannot be considered a failure. In terms of revenue, "囧" can no longer lose money.
However, its box office did not meet expectations.
What even failed to meet audience expectations was the quality.
The audience actually doesn’t matter that much.
As long as your photography is not good, it will be a failure regardless of whether you make money or not.
If you really want to talk about it, Xiaogangpao's "Private Customization" also made a lot of profit based on box office, but when it collided with "A Journey to Thailand: Lost in Thailand", almost everyone thought that he lost to Xu Zheng. He obviously makes a lot of money.
The same goes for "囧 in Hong Kong".
Xu Zheng made a lot of money.
In terms of return on investment, "囧" is a high-quality project.
But in the eyes of most people, "囧" was surpassed by "The Richest Man in Xihong City" at the box office, which means it failed.
This is even the case in Xu Zheng's own eyes.
Before "囧" was released, he could not imagine that "囧" could not beat "The Richest Man in Xihong City".
This is unscientific.
If you ask a hundred experts to predict beforehand, a hundred experts will say that "囧" will win.
But before the National Day started, "囧 in Hong Kong" had already lost.
Xu Zheng couldn't accept this fact.
"There is still a chance. The seven-day National Day period has the greatest box office potential. There is still a chance." Bao Beier encouraged.
He couldn't accept this fact either.
Even if "囧" did not meet expectations, Xu Zheng has already soared.
He was the most affected.
Zhao Zhetian and Xu Zheng have long since broken away from their status as ordinary actors, but he has not.
Xu Zheng looked at Bao Beier and his eyes flashed.
"Xiaobao, I may have to wrong you a little."
Bao Beier didn't understand what Xu Zheng meant. She just thought that Xu Zheng wanted him to go to more road shows. She immediately patted her chest and promised, "Director Xu, just ask, if you frown, I'm not a man."
"Okay, I really saw the right person."
Xu Zheng patted Bao Beier on the shoulder and said seriously: "Whether our drama can counterattack at the box office depends entirely on you, Xiao Bao."
Bao Beier: "???"
Am I that important
He doesn't even know it himself.
Indeed not.
Xu Zheng couldn't handle some things and couldn't instigate Zhao Zhetian. When it came to his relationship with capital, he was not as good as Zhao Zhetian. She was still a big star, and Xu Zheng didn't dare to offend her.
Then we can only sacrifice Bao Beier to heaven.
After all, Xu Zheng really regretted it now.
You should use Baoqiang.
But it's too late to regret.
In this case, use the waste again.
…
Yue Guan and the others were running a roadshow when Da Tiantian suddenly handed over her cell phone.
"Yue Guan, look, "囧" has made another move. Apparently they haven't given up on the National Day release yet."
Yue Guan took Da Tiantian's cell phone.
A video is playing on the phone.
"Is there a press conference for "囧 in Hong Kong"?" Yue Guan asked.
Da Tiantian nodded: "Yes, look at the content of the press conference, it is very exciting."
Shen Teng leaned his head over.
Yue Guan was not surprised by this.
He has seen this episode.
Xu Zheng also came here once in his previous life.
He dragged Bao Beier out to worship the gods, and asked Bao Beier to read the bad reviews given to him by netizens in front of reporters. Then Bao Beier burst into tears at the press conference, saying how hard it was for him to film, and to be able to win Xu Zheng's favor. What a thrill to be recognized.
Of course, Xu Zheng also wanted to give Bao Beier the truth, saying that Xiao Bao is a good comrade, he is very serious about filming, and he is definitely no worse than Bao Qiang. I hope everyone will not be preconceived, give Xiao Bao a chance, and Xiao Bao will give you a miracle.
That's probably what it means.
There is nothing new this time. Bao Beier broke down and cried when she read the negative reviews in front of reporters, which made anyone who saw it sad and those who heard it shed tears.
Shen Teng said with emotion: "This acting is so good, why didn't I see it in the movie?"
Da Tiantian burst out laughing: "Brother Teng, what you said is really harmful."
"Tiantian, don't you feel the same way?" Shen Teng asked.
Da Tiantian thought about it seriously, and then told the truth: "Yes."
Bao Beier's acting skills in "Hong Kong" - if his role is just for disgusting people, then his performance is actually very good.
Yue Guan summed it up: "The Best Actor will be released at the press conference."
Da Tiantian laughed again.
"Yue Guan, you are really talented."
Yue Caring said that this was not summed up by me, but was summed up by the screenwriter of "Tucao Conference" in his previous life to Bao Beier.
I have to say, it’s very vivid.
"Is there any reaction from our side?" Shen Teng looked at Yue Guan.
Yue Guan was very calm: "Don't worry, we will do whatever we have to do. Now we are the ones taking the lead, and the crew of "Embarrassed in Hong Kong" are the ones who are anxious."
"Will this trick work?" Da Tiantian asked.
Yue Guan smiled: "The audience is not idiots. If they can still be fooled by this kind of obvious hype and marketing, it would be too much to look down on them. It costs money to watch movies, and people will be sensible about anything that costs money."
Otherwise, the box office of movies by popular celebrities would not be able to increase.
Besides, how many fans can Bao Beier have
Xu Zheng didn't use Bao Qiang to choose Bao Beier as his spare tire, which was indeed the worst chess among bad chess.
If Bao Qiang had played the role of Bao Bei Er, even if the plot of "囧" remained unchanged at all, the box office would not have dropped to the level it has now.
Just like several sketch actors in "The Richest Man in Xihong City", some actors have their own charm and have nothing to do with the plot.
But Xu Zheng obviously doesn't think so.
After all, Bao Beier has already finished filming "Embarrassed in Hong Kong", so it's impossible for him to turn around. Even if he knew in his heart that this choice was wrong, he could only hit the wall.
This is a sunk cost.
The crew of "Embarrassed in Hong Kong" began marketing the character design for Bao Bei Er.
The crew of "The Richest Man in Xihong City" is very calm. Yue Guan just takes a group of actors to perform road shows and promote the show.
During the seven-day National Day holiday, they didn't have a day off, but no one had any objections, including the sketch actors who came to guest appearance.
Those who work in this industry have to endure the hard work, after all, they get so much salary.
The National Day holiday is coming as scheduled.
Many people are watching the market.
Whether "囧" can counterattack with the help of the National Day release, the answer can basically be revealed on the first day of data.
With the reputation of "囧 in Hong Kong" continuing to weaken, if the data on the first day of the National Day cannot surpass "The Richest Man in Xihong City", it will be even more difficult to surpass it in the future.
With countless people looking forward to it, the box office data on the first day of National Day was released.
After Xu Zheng saw the final data, he glanced at Bao Beier without saying a word, then covered his face with a newspaper and didn't speak for a long time.
"The Richest Man in Xihong City" beat "囧 in Hong Kong" twice as much.
The box office potential of the National Day show is indeed great.
Therefore, the single-day box office gap between the two movies is getting wider and wider.
Although "The Richest Man in Xihong City" has not surpassed "囧" in terms of total box office, everyone has realized that this is only a matter of time.
Bao Beier is more desperate than Xu Zheng.
He thought "囧" was his opportunity.
Now it seems that this is my own grave.
At this moment, a message popped up on Bao Beier's phone, which was Weibo.
Xu Zheng also received it.
He picked up the phone and looked at it, and then his face turned even darker.
The official blog of "The Richest Man in Xihong City" forwarded the blog post "Beiqiao Fengnan Murong" previously posted by "Hong Kong 囧", and then commented:
I, Qiao Feng, a good man, am as famous as a villain like you!
After Xu Zheng saw this Weibo, he almost dropped his phone.
Bao Beier was angry: "This is too much bullying, Director Xu, we have to fight back."
Xu Zheng glared at him and said angrily: "What a waste of counterattack. If you win, whatever the winner says is right."
Bao Beier: "..." Yesterday you said I was your little sweetheart, but today you have this attitude, Sang Xin.
At this moment, Bao Beier felt that she had something in common with Shangguan Xingfeng, an internet celebrity she had followed for a long time. He realized that he would lick the dog until there was nothing left.
I remember back then he had laughed at Shangguan Xingfeng for being such a scumbag.
Who will God spare
