Chapter 114: After the scolding, it's my turn to scold
[The biggest surprise of "Three Guns" this year]

[Master Zhang and Uncle Benshan join forces to present a New Year comedy]

[Sun Honglei tries zero-degree acting and takes on the main role in the film]

A flood of news emerged the day after the premiere.

You can tell at first glance that it is Zhang Dapao's work.

Even though the former had a falling out with Master Zhang, he still got a share of the profits from "Three Guns".

As a producer, you have to be responsible for publicity and promotion.

The film critics who watched the premiere that day received red envelopes and their comments became completely different.

As for other movie fans, their voices can't be heard at all.

Even if you post it online, people will only regard you as someone who is discrediting Master Zhang.

joke.

Those are Master Zhang and Uncle Benshan. If these two of them were put together, wouldn’t they just kill people?

What’s more, there is also the triple-awarded TV King Sun Honglei.

Including the preview on Thursday, the film grossed over 100 million yuan in the first weekend.

It broke the box office record of 80 million in the first weekend of Zhang Guoshi's "Curse of the Golden Flower".

This trend has attracted the attention of countless film and television companies.

As soon as the "Three Guns" crew came out of the cinema, they were informed of the news by the staff who came up to them.

"The box office exceeded 100 million yuan in the first weekend?"

Cheng Ye had a loud voice and shouted in surprise when he heard it.

After Zhang Guoshi and others who had not yet come close were stunned, smiles appeared on their faces.

Especially Sun Honglei, who has been feeling uneasy lately.

"It's just over 100 million. Our goal is 400 million." Sun Honglei said nonchalantly.

"That's why we say Brother Honglei has a broad mind." Xu Ming agreed.

Zhang Guoshi walked closer and said with a smile: "I have discussed it with the investors. If the box office is a big hit, everyone will get a red envelope."

Everyone was cheering and the atmosphere was lively.

While others were busy congratulating each other, Xu Ming pulled over a staff member and asked, "How much were the box office revenues for the four days?"

"Thursday was 1311 million, Friday was 2500 million, Saturday was 4190 million, Sunday was 3231 million, and the total was 11232 million," said the staff.

Xu Ming frowned slightly. In his previous life, the box office of "Three Guns" barely exceeded 100 million in its first weekend. The extra 10 million should be the additional effect brought by himself.

But it can also be seen from the trend.

If it really breaks 400 million, it should be a straight upward trend.

But now the box office on Sunday is nearly 10 million lower than that on Saturday.

Xu Ming knew very well what this meant.

The audience could hardly cover their mouths.

"What are you thinking about?"

Sun Honglei put his hand on Xu Ming's shoulder.

"Nothing, I'm just happy for our crew." Xu Ming said casually.

"How are you and Director Zhang working on your new play? I heard it's about fighting human trafficking." Sun Honglei asked casually.

Are you going to investigate now?

"Yes, we plan to donate part of the movie's proceeds to charity. It happens to be a group drama, and we are in need of a male actor. Brother Honglei, do you want to give it a try?"

Xu Ming paused, "It's just that the pay might be a bit low."

"Well, my schedule has been fully booked for the past year by the company. There's really nothing I can do about it. But I will go to support the movie premiere," Sun Honglei said perfunctorily.

He worked so hard to climb up, all for the sake of earning more money. For an actor at his peak, time is money.

Watching the other person leave, Xu Ming smiled.

Fortunately, the other party came to ask, otherwise if he really came back to find him, it would be difficult for him to make an excuse.

It's not that I have any prejudice, but it's purely based on commercial value.

The other party is popular, but its box office appeal is not that strong, and the cost-effectiveness is not high.

"Xiao Xu, let's go. We still have road shows to run. We'll hold a celebration party for everyone after we're done." Zhang Guoshi's voice came. Xu Ming responded and followed.

……

The next day.

Everyone walked out of the theater with a look of confusion on their faces.

Only one day passed.

The treatment they received was completely different.

From the media to the Internet, there was a chorus of criticism.

[The release of "Three Guns" seriously underestimates the audience's IQ]

[It’s not easy to make a heavyweight bad movie]

[Three shots: The first shot was fired at Master Zhang, the second shot was fired at Zhang Dapao, and the third shot was fired at Sun Honglei]

The audience finally witnessed what a polar reversal is.

Even many celebrities outside the circle couldn't sit still. Hong Huang called it "an insult to IQ", and Han Han said that "it can be appreciated by third-tier counties."

Even the Golden Broom Awards, which is currently being planned, has been publicly announced on Weibo, and the winner of the grand prize has been basically determined.

Even though Xu Ming had anticipated it, he still underestimated the severity of the criticism.

From top to bottom, inside and outside, it was sprayed all over.

He hid in the back, but was not let go.

Of course, it is much better than what Xiao Shenyang experienced in his previous life.

Sun Honglei helped him share a lot of the burden.

So much so that when this guy was on the stage doing the roadshow, his eyes were dazed.

No, where is the glory?
Originally, he, the absolute leading male role, had his roles divided up by Xu Ming, and now he has become a victim of public opinion.

As highly as the media praised him before, they are now criticizing him just as harshly.

"Director Zhang, the film's reviews have changed dramatically from yesterday to today. Do you have anything to say?"

"Teacher Sun, some audience members said your performance was not worth watching. Do you think it was objective?"

"Audience members in a certain theater in Shanghai are calling for refunds. "Three Guns" has been denounced as a terrible movie by critics and netizens. Do you accept this?"

Reporters crowded around, their eyes excited, wishing they could put the microphone into everyone's mouths.

"What are you talking about? How can a movie that makes the audience laugh be called a bad movie? At least the laughter we heard in the theater just now was not fake, right?"

Xu Ming looked solemn as he looked around at the confused reporters. "Besides, isn't this movie better than Wang Jingqiang's? Director Zhang and Brother Honglei at least showed their utmost sincerity."

Are you done scolding?
After you finish scolding, it’s my turn to scold.

From the beginning to the end, Xu Ming never thought of escaping the fate of being scolded.

After all, no matter what, he is one of the leading actors in "Three Guns".

The only thing we can do is to make the black and red less dark, but the red can be more red.

By the way, establish yourself as a rational person.

It was like a group of people surrounded them and beat them up, and while they were beating them they discovered Xu Ming was standing in the crowd as if nothing had happened.

He was still shouting, "Stop fighting, there are people who deserve it more, Director Zhang, Brother Honglei, hold on, this little pain is nothing."

Not only do people want to see who deserves a beating more, but they will also put more pressure on Director Zhang and Sun Honglei.

"But this is not the level Director Zhang should be at!"

An indignant voice came from the reporters.

The fans have always had very high expectations of Master Zhang.

"Yes, that's right. I support you in this statement. This is indeed not Director Zhang's level, but can we blame Director Zhang?"

"He has no right to decide on the script, including the participation of our Zhao Clan. In fact, if we knew the real situation was like this, Master would never agree to someone's invitation to join."

Xu Ming sighed deeply and looked at the camera lens: "But I guarantee that everyone in our crew has put in 100% of their efforts and sincerity. It may not meet everyone's expectations, but it is definitely not a shoddy work."

After saying that, he bowed towards the camera.

The crew members behind him seemed to have suddenly realized something.

Yes, why should they take the blame? There is already a ready-made one.
