I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 788: Spring Festival File Fight (Part 33) ()

"First of all, I admit that I have read the script of "Man Jiang Hong"... The production company approached me first... I once said that I really wanted to work with Shen Teng on a play, and I also wanted to work with director Zhang Yi... But because of my schedule, I didn't accept it in the end!"

"The main reason is that I have read the History of Song Dynasty and the Biography of Yue Fei, and I know that what General Yue Fei wrote in prison was "The sky is bright, the sky is bright", not "Man Jiang Hong"... This script makes me feel uncomfortable, and it even sounds a bit like the joke in "Dragon Gate Escort Agency"..."

"The book dealer played by Xiao Yang in "Dragon Gate Escort" predicted this story, 'satire the so-called commercial films, inviting traffic, rubbing against historical celebrities, finding a few comedians to tell jokes, actresses playing tricks, and forcibly sublimating the plot to value, etc.' "Man Jiang Hong" matches all of them, borrowing the tragedy of Yue Fei's murder, and setting "children in troubled times, family and country feelings" as a talisman; in the end, the whole army recited "Man Jiang Hong" together to the climax of the sensationalism;

A group of comedians participated in the performance, singing and laughing; a few young beauties were added to expose their bodies to attract male audiences; a popular top star with big box office sales was selected to attract female audiences...' It perfectly reproduced Ning Caishen's ridicule of the dirty and chaotic entertainment industry back then."

“I don’t want to be ridiculed…”

"Let's not talk about "Red River", this movie has nothing to do with me... I hope it will be a big hit at the box office!"

On the evening of the first day of the Lunar New Year, Shen Liang responded to the matter of rejecting the invitation from "Man Jiang Hong" in a live broadcast.

Just made some random jokes, and then talked about The Wandering Earth 2...

"After The Wandering Earth, Guo Fan and I formed a small team, which included Rao Xiaozhi, Lu Yang and Wu Jing... So, I later asked Rao Xiaozhi to direct A Sun and The Crowd. Rao's new film Glory and Dreams has finished its Syria part, and is now filming the Olympic part at Qingdao Film and Television Base..."

"I also collaborated with Lu Yang on "Underground Fire" and "Shushan", and I also invested in "Assassination of Novelist"..."

"Wu Jing...we are about to collaborate on "Tai Chi Grandmaster"..."

"The movies made by our team are basically large-scale industrial productions. The Wandering Earth 2 is of course also an industrial production, and it is currently the pinnacle of industrial production in the mainland film industry!"

"A movie like this will go down in film history!"

"Why split it into two parts... We decided to split it when we were setting the script... That's it, the first part is still 142 minutes, and the second part has not yet finished post-production, but according to the concept, it should be at least 150 minutes."

“The cost of The Wandering Earth 2… the actual shooting cost is 6.5 million, but many investors need money, so they will dilute their shares for financing, because banks will not lend money to this kind of IP, so they have to attract investors at a certain price.

This price is based on your potential box office. For example, if you estimate the box office to be 30 billion, you cannot sell more than 10 billion times the percentage…”

"I saw someone online saying the cost was 13 billion... This must be the price of the last buyer, because they estimated that Ball State 2 would sell for more than 40 billion, and they would need 35 billion to make a profit. But for us, the first batch of investors, we can make a profit if the box office exceeds 18 billion!"

"So far, the first-day box office is 5.2 million yuan, the reputation is the best, the screening is only two points more than "Man Jiang Hong", and the box office is 2 million yuan more... I think the box office of "The Wandering Earth " is stable!"

Steady Der...

The next day, "Man Jiang Hong" started to work hard!

It ranked first in pre-sale box office, first in first-day box office, and first in word-of-mouth.

The next day, the screening schedule of "Man Jiang Hong" actually surpassed that of "The Wandering Earth 2" - with 3000 more screenings than the latter!
You should know that the first-day performance of "Man Jiang Hong" was only 4.1 million.

The theater manager's reason was: Zhang Yimou's "Red River" was more attractive to passers-by. What's even more bizarre is that "Red River", which was ahead in the schedule but lagged behind "The Wandering Earth 2" in real-time box office, suddenly increased by 1200 million in the last hour of the day, with a single-day box office of 4.27 million, surpassing "The Wandering Earth 2"'s 4.26 million...

It turns out that fans of "Man Jiang Hong" all like to watch movies in the early morning?
Based on this, on the third day, which was the third day of the Chinese New Year, "Man Jiang Hong" stopped pretending and got 2 more screenings than "The Wandering Earth 8000"... The single-day box office was 4.36 million yuan, but "The Wandering Earth 2" also exceeded 4 million yuan, with a single-day box office of 4.17 million yuan.

Moreover, the total box office exceeded 13 billion. After three days of release, the box office data was 13.63 billion!
"Man Jiang Hong" is 12.73 billion...

The total box office is still nearly 2 million behind "The Wandering Earth "...

On the fourth day, "Man Jiang Hong" had 31% of the screenings, while "The Wandering Earth 2" had 27.5%, lagging behind by screenings!

The single-day box office finally opened up a gap of 2000 million - "Man Jiang Hong" was 4.27 million, and "The Wandering Earth 2" was 3.98 million;
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that there is a problem here!
In terms of reputation, the Douban score of "Man Jiang Hong" has dropped from 8 to 7.8, and the final score should be around 7 to 7.2.

The score of The Wandering Earth 2 has now remained stable at 8.3.

It’s not a matter of length. “Man Jiang Hong” is even 2 minutes longer than “The Wandering Earth 10”!

It is not a question of science fiction films being niche. "The Wandering Earth 2" is a hard science fiction film at its core and a commercial film production model. It is not niche, and large-scale scenes are everywhere. What's more, the previous work was also the champion of the Spring Festival.

It's not even a question of everyone's love of watching family movies during the Spring Festival. "The Wandering Earth 1", "Operation Red Sea" and "Watergate" are all champions of the Spring Festival.

When everything is abnormal, there must be something wrong.

Most importantly, the box office of "Man Jiang Hong" was very high, but online, few people discussed the movie itself...

On the contrary, the official Weibo of "Man Jiang Hong" has a bunch of breathtaking operations: they actually wrote "early gray hair" as "fa" (get rich). This is actually not the most critical point. The most critical point is "Jing Kang Shame". For the historical era name Jing Kang, the official Weibo could actually make a mistake when promoting it, and actually wrote "Jing Kang Shame" as "Jing-Kang Shame".

This official blog really seems to be illiterate.

The box office even exceeded 25 billion, and the lyrics "Traveling through mountains and rivers" were used to wish a happy new year - even Yue Fei's coffin could not hold it down, which is completely contrary to the sentiment of "Man Jiang Hong"!
The release of "Unknown" just happened, which gave birth to the term "desperate illiterate". The thing is, the leading actor of "Unknown" was interviewed during a roadshow. When asked about his feelings about the work and the role, he knew nothing about the whole thing and was nicknamed "desperate illiterate" by netizens.

Ahem...

Being targeted like this, fans of The Wandering Earth must be upset, not to mention that the male lead of Red River is Yi Yang Qianxi, who was just recently linked to the small town test-taker...

Then a bunch of fans were fed up and started collecting all kinds of information about the operations of the "Man Jiang Hong" production team, such as the full midnight show and stealing box office revenue...

"Man Jiang Hong" is very tough, the official blog directly announced that it would sue several big Vs...

Oh, Shen Liang watched the whole process, until the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, which was the end of the Spring Festival period, and commented on the operation of "Man Jiang Hong" during the live broadcast.
