Chapter 90 Collapse of Reputation

On the first day of the premiere of "The Promise", there was almost no negative news.

The next day, Zhang Yimou's "Riding Alone, Thousands of Miles" was released.

The two top directors in the country began to compete head-on, and the audience was excited.

On the crew of "Time Cruiser", during filming breaks, the actors were all discussing "The Promise" they watched yesterday.

"I don't know if ordinary viewers can understand it. Anyway, I don't think it's interesting."

Chen Minghao said without concealment.

Lin Nan took a stack of newspapers handed by the staff, which still smelled of ink.

"The audience can't understand it even if they don't see it. Doesn't that give you credibility?"

Lin Nan shook off the daily newspaper in his hand.

"Let me see."

Several leading actors gathered around.

Several newspapers were sorted out by everyone in an instant.

"Tsk, tsk, look how well said this is: every sentence seems to be full of philosophy, 'Shappy dialogue', one word: silly! Four words: mystifying! There is no climax, no touching, if there is any touching, it is just touching. The creator himself..., haha, it made me laugh so hard, does this city newspaper dare to write this? "

Tian Yu patted his thigh and couldn't help laughing.

"The film critic wrote it euphemistically: It's majestic and eye-catching, and you can see how hundreds of millions of dollars were burned. Although Director Chen tried his best to pursue perfection, it is undeniable that the plot of "The Promise" is out of control. , the plot has no priority, and the performance is too exaggerated..."

When Yan Danchen read this paragraph, Lin Nan was stunned for a moment. Even the film critics couldn't help but complain? Logically speaking, these people should be standing relatively close to Lao Chen!

"What do ordinary viewers say? Is there any report?" Yan Danchen Zengli asked.

"Yes, they all said it was boring and empty. But I have memorized some funny lines, like: You ruined my chance to be a good person..."

Zhu Yawen laughed while reading, and most of the other staff members also went to watch the movie. They are originally engaged in this industry, and their judgment ability is definitely better than ordinary people. They all agree with these reports now.

…

China Film and Television, Han Sanping looked at the pile of newspapers on the table and the new negative voices on the Internet, feeling a little irritable.

Chen Hong just came to the group, hoping that China Film could come forward and interfere with the media's voice.

But no matter how this interferes, the reports of traditional print media and Internet media have never been so unified. They all looked down on and satirized "The Promise".

Print media is easy to handle, but how to manage the Internet, various post bars, blogs, can't handle it at all, and deleting posts can't keep up with the speed and quantity of others' posts.

Han Sanping's face was livid. You can guess how much public opinion affects the box office trend.

At the beginning, he defied public opinion and had China Film fully invest in "The Promise". As confident as he was at that time, he may face a lot of criticism now.

"How is the daily box office?" Han Sanping asked.

"Nearly 20 million, which is higher than the first day." The secretary said.

Han Sanping nodded lightly, "It's okay, you can go out."

The pre-roll ads for "The Promise" sold for a lot of money, and the chief sponsor, Konka, spent an additional 30 million to help bundle and promote the film.

Even with the income from post-roll advertising, Han Sanping has no hope of repaying his investment. What about the 350 million investment, unless Lao Chen can really win the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film and make up for the box office honors.

"Senior Brother Chen, let's keep the shot just now and do it again."

"no problem."

Lin Nan continued the ending of the movie and refused the requests of several visiting media to interview him about his views on "The Promise". Isn't this digging a hole for himself?

Industry insiders were silent this time, and the media could not pry these people's mouths open. Only the majority of netizens and audiences happily imitated and ridiculed the lines.

Lin Nan stared at Zeng Li in the camera, killed the male one cleanly, dragged him to the deck, turned around and continued to look for the next target...

"Ka. Sister Li, take a break. It's quite hard to drag Senior Brother Chen along, hehe."

"Haha, it must be quite laborious." Tian Yu said with a smile.

Chen Minghao stood up and said, "Doesn't this show that the heroine is very skilled? Otherwise, why would a woman kill everyone else?"

"That makes sense."

Even Zeng Li smiled and agreed with Chen Minghao's words.

"Have a break, we don't lack time now." Lin Nan said kindly.

"The Promise" is still breaking box office records, and the single-day box office record has also been broken. I just don't know how much it can hit in the first weekend, but it will definitely be no problem to break the record.

On the other hand, feedback from viewers of Zhang Yimou's "Ride Alone, Thousands of Miles" will be released soon.

…

Chen Kaige looked at the text message in front of him with a frosty look on his face.

For a director who also came from Nortel, the Academy showed little support for "The Promise" this time, or gave it a symbolic support, but it was not stingy in its praise for "A Thousand Miles Alone".

Many old professors from Nortel have spoken out, "This is Zhang Yimou's comeback. It doesn't mean that there is anything wrong with him making commercial films, but it means that this film has completely reached the heights that he has achieved in his previous literary films."

The hand holding the newspaper shook slightly, and veins bulged on the back of his hand.

"Yellow Earth", "King of Children", "Walking and Singing", "Farewell My Concubine"... Along the way, nothing but honor is honor. He is immersed in his family background and honor.

Chen Kaige suddenly put down the newspaper, "I spent three years and worked hard on this work. How can ordinary people understand..."

On the set, everyone looked at the data of "The Promise" with incredible expressions.

"I know this is a blockbuster, but its box office is too fierce. It took 75 million in the first weekend and four days, and this is in the mainland! Isn't the reputation so bad?"

"Director Lin, your first movie didn't make as much as others in two days, right? I remember?"

Tian Yu joked. He has become more familiar with them during this period, and he jokes more freely.

"Haha, Director Lin, cut his role..."

Chen Minghao smiled and suggested, and a group of people watched the excitement.

"Oh, I don't know how to talk, I deserve to be beaten."

Lin Nan smiled and shook his head, not caring. Others have accumulated reputation for twenty years. Although the negative reviews for two or three days are widespread, they will not affect the overall box office trend. It is estimated that it will take another two or three days to ferment.

"If you don't go to see it, and just listen to others' comments that Director Kaige's new movie is bad, do you believe it?"

Lin Nan asked.

Chen Minghao, Tian Yu and others reacted immediately and said with a smile: "I must go to the cinema to see it and judge for myself. The credibility of international directors is there."

"That's why the box office is still growing rapidly."

...

On the other side of the ocean, the crew of "Journey to the Center of the Earth" completely uses digital 3D technology. In the huge green screen studio, the staff are busy. Liu Yifei finished the last segment according to the director's requirements.

Tom is a qualified agent. During Liu Yifei's time in the crew, he came to see from time to time.

Working for Lin Nan is much easier and more labor-saving than other businesses, and the pay is not cheap.

He has thought about it. If Lin Nan decides to open a company or studio here, he will go to work for Lin Nan immediately.

Lin Nan specifically asked Tom to take good care of the girl with an oriental face in front of him. As smart as he is, he has already guessed the relationship between the two. It seems that if they are not relatives, then they are lovers?

"Crystal, congratulations on finishing the film. Do you want to tell my boss about this good news?"

Liu Yifei shook her head, "Tom, don't tell him."

Liu Yifei smiled and looked at the fat man in front of her, "Tom, I'm going back to the hotel. We'll see each other again in the future."

"Okay, Crystal, I have a feeling that you will become my boss's wife."

"Tom, you talk a lot."

Ignoring the little girl's shyness, Tom continued, "As a friend, Crystal, I want to kindly remind you that I have been in Hollywood for many years. There are too many coquettish and slutty women in the circle who will stare at those fat pieces. I think it's the same over there. Lin Nan is too young. He is a very fat piece of fat. Do you understand what I mean?"

Tom had a good impression of the girl in front of him, so he couldn't help but talk too much.

Liu Yifei nodded seriously, "Thank you, Tom."

"You're welcome. Just ask him to give me a raise." Tom smiled.

"Then you have to go and talk to him yourself." Liu Yifei smiled.

With worries, Liu Yifei returned to the backstage, where her mother and assistant were waiting for her.

After removing her makeup and changing clothes, the three returned to the hotel.

She had been here for more than a month. She was supposed to adapt to the crew first, but in the end, the filming started early. Liu Yifei went back and forth between the crew and the hotel every day, and paid attention to domestic news during her breaks.

"Mom, where are the passports?"

Liu Yifei, who had washed up, looked young and beautiful, like an exquisite princess.

"Why do you ask about this? It's in the innermost box. By the way, is the filming almost finished?"

Liu's mother asked again. She had never asked her daughter about the progress of the crew, and she heard from the sporadic conversations of the staff that the film was about to end.

Liu Yifei's eyes flashed with a cunning, "There are still a few days."

"Oh, that's pretty fast, then we can go back."

...

The box office growth of "The Promise" slowed down rapidly amid a barrage of criticism, from nearly 20 million per day to just over 10 million. The media's pessimistic voices gradually increased, no longer limited to audiences and netizens.

Han Sanping has been really angry these days. No one is here to share the pressure. He was the one who shouted to strongly support "The Promise" and even overbearingly let China Film Group produce it exclusively, so that now the result of the blood loss is destined to be borne by China Film Group alone.

At the group meeting, someone has already raised this issue. Fortunately, making a movie is a gamble. He has also come up with many profitable projects. It is not difficult to get through the current hurdle, but the huge hole needs to be filled.

There are many investments led by Han Sanping, and now we have to rely on these projects.

"Go ask about the progress of the film investments I handled." Han Sanping ordered.

"Yes, President Han."

...

Liu Xiaoli looked at the note on her daughter's desk with a gloomy face.

"Dead girl, you are so powerful that you didn't even say hello, just left a note..."

Suddenly remembering something, Liu's mother hurriedly opened the suitcase where the passport was stored. Sure enough, Liu Yifei took her passport.

After calming down a little, Liu's mother sat on the bed and smiled helplessly.

"You've really grown up, you have your own ideas now, this personality is really like me when I was young. You just need to tell me, how can I disagree? And you're still alone..."

As she spoke, Liu's mother couldn't help but smile, a mother knows her daughter better than anyone else!

While Liu Xiaoli was looking for her phone number, she arranged for her assistant to buy a plane ticket.

For the leader: Haha, I'll add more chapters too!

Please subscribe! Please vote for the monthly ticket!

Today's update is 16,000, and I kept my promise! I shamelessly ask for some rewards! Thank you, I bow.
