Entertainment, I just like making movies

…………

Just like the praise and praise when the movie was first released, waves of ridicule and negative reviews flooded every corner of the Internet.

Media reporters took advantage of the situation and were as excited as a child grabbing a lollipop, crazily criticizing the movie from multiple angles.

In their opinion, after helping out for half a month, the heat has long been exhausted, and it’s time to change their angles to gain attention.

A large amount of criticism and negative reviews made "The Unknown" a hit. On the 13th day of its release, the box office rose slightly to 6.93 million.

This time, the media was even more excited!

The increase in box office is all thanks to them!

While Fang Ziheng was promoting in Shenzhen, major entertainment reporters from the south swarmed in. Not only that, the Imperial Capital, Magic Capital, and several media outlets that had been following and reporting on "The Unknown" also had the luxury of following.

"Hello everyone, please give way first and don't block the cinema."

Before Fang Ziheng could say anything, he saw countless microphones coming towards him, and the cameras kept buzzing, almost making his eyes go blank.

"Director Fang, "The Unknown" has taken a huge hit at the box office. What do you think of this?"

"Will the lack of success in the later stages of the film affect Huayi and the major film giants' expectations of you?"

"Director Fang, some people say that "The Unknown" is extremely lucky to achieve the current box office, because the cancellation of other movies such as "If You Are the One" and "Red Cliff" is related to the small number of films scheduled."

The reporters looked excited and were happy to see Fang Ziheng.

They've been so blown away by it these days that they can finally seize the opportunity to make a fuss about it.

I hope Hengyu will be more discerning and increase the publicity expenses, otherwise, don’t blame us uncrowned kings for being rude.

What a new director.

What a leading figure in youth films.

The youngest billionaire director in film history.

In the eyes of reporters, it’s all bullshit!

Popularity, selling points, and breaking news are what they pursue!

Several leading actors stood behind Fang Ziheng, their expressions were ugly, especially the little girl Song Yi, who put her hands in her trouser pockets and tilted her head to avoid looking at the faces of these people.

Fang Ziheng always wore a faint smile, made a guiding gesture, and led everyone to the square outside the cinema.

"Thank you very much for your concern, friends from the media."

As the so-called expert knows when he makes a move, the excited reporters fell silent as soon as he opened his mouth.

If you don't hit the smiling person, they will say thank you for your concern. I'm embarrassed to make trouble. Let's listen to what others say first.

After a pause, Fang Ziheng took a microphone and said in a calm tone: "The box office of "The Unknown" has far exceeded my expectations since its release."

"Everyone knows that the total cost of the movie is only 12 million. Even including the post-publicity expenses, it is enough to recoup the cost and even make a small profit."

He did not answer specific questions head-on. Instead, he threw out data ratios and was the first to silence reporters.

No matter how badmouthing you guys are, the movie has already made money!

Are you angry?

Ignoring the commotion reporters, Fang Ziheng smiled and continued: "The movie has exceeded 10 million box office for nine consecutive days, and started to decline on the tenth day. This is a normal box office trend. I would like to ask you, among the movies released during the Lunar New Year period, which one has the highest box office The trend is as strong as "The Unknown"!"

After explaining, he immediately asked questions, putting reporters in a ditch, interrupting their rhythm, and not giving them the opportunity to ask questions continuously.

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, the reporters fell into silence and began to think, asking, did "The Unknown" really fail?

Of course, there are also smart reporters who don't follow Fang Ziheng's example and keep the purpose of their trip in mind.

A middle-aged man with thick black eyes and greasy hair pushed his way through the crowd and asked loudly: "Director Fang, judging from the audience's reaction, the current box office trend of "The Unknown" is indeed normal. , it also hit a box office of 6.9 million yesterday."

The greasy middle-aged man affirmed at first, and then changed the topic, his tone was sharp and aggressive: "Then what if the box office continues to drop, and the drop exceeds 60%?"

yes!

What should I do if it continues to fall?

All the reporters were stunned and came to their senses. They cursed Fang Ziheng in their hearts for being cunning and almost leading them into a trap.

The greasy middle-aged man seems to be worried about the movie, but in fact he has ulterior motives and is waiting for Fang Ziheng to make a fool of himself.

As the movie is released, it will definitely continue to decline until the box office gradually becomes scarce and it is withdrawn from theaters.

Regardless of Fang Ziheng's answer, the media only needs to wait a few days until the box office continues to decline, and they can take this opportunity to comment from a correct point of view.

At that time, with some personal information mixed in, it will transform into a person with foresight and foresight.

Mom approves!

Who is this person?

You are so talented, why don't you become a dog-headed military advisor?

Fang Ziheng instantly understood that this was a huge pit. He took a deep look at the greasy middle-aged man, smiled softly, and said: "You are right, the box office will definitely continue to fall, and it will fall less and less."

"That Director Fang"

The greasy middle-aged man's eyes lit up and he asked quickly.

Fang Ziheng interrupted the other party forcefully, shrugged and said: "Everyone can take a guess and guess how much the total box office of "The Unknown" will eventually break through?"

After speaking, he ignored the reporters and left in a car with the leading actors.

Damn it, I don’t want to see you again!

Imperial capital.

Huayi Headquarters, Chairman's Office.

Wang Zhongjun closed the script in his hand, stood up and said, "Director Lu, it's a pleasure to work with you. The company will prepare the crew for you as soon as possible to ensure that there is no delay in the start of filming."

"Thank you, Director Wang. You can rest assured that the subject matter of this movie is well known to everyone in the country, and the box office will definitely reach a record high."

In front of the desk, Lu Chuan felt relieved, with a confident smile on his face, and was about to issue a military order on the spot.

"Haha. Okay, I'm waiting to hold a celebration party for Director Lu!"

Wang Zhongjun was full of enthusiasm, signed a contract with Lu Chuan with a wave of his hand, invested 50 million in "Nanjing Nanjing" in the blink of an eye, and also won the distribution rights of the film.

"Nanjing Nanjing" has a total investment of 80 million. Lu Chuan communicated with various parties and raised 30 million. After China Film hit a wall, he came to China One with the script to seek investment.

Unexpectedly, Wang Zhongjun was so straightforward and favored him so much, which made him feel like a scholar would die for his confidant.

Little did he know that because Huayi was going to be listed this year, money from shareholders was coming in waves. At this time, Director Wang was panicking with a lot of money in his pocket and was looking for high-quality film projects.

In a cheerful mood, Lu Chuan walked out of the gate of Huayi headquarters and was surrounded by two or three reporters as soon as he came out.

"Director Lu, how was the cooperation with Hua Yi?"

These reporters were specially found by Lu Chuan. Their purpose was to spread the news as soon as possible after finalizing the cooperation with Hua Yi.

"The cooperation is very successful. I will hold a press conference soon. This is a brand new anti-war movie. The depth and perspective are different from previous anti-war movies. I believe it will bring a different experience to the audience."

Lu Chuan faced the reporters and talked eloquently, holding the world in his hands to pick the sun and the moon, and he was very confident.

The three reporters were also very cooperative and took photos from multiple angles, trying to make Director Lu look like a boss in a black windbreaker.

After chatting about the movie, he smiled and waved to reporters, then walked to the parking lot not far away with his head held high.

At this time, a reporter suddenly asked: "Director Lu, what do you think of Fang Ziheng, a junior from Nortel?

The box office of his film "The Unknown" has halved in the past two days, which is a huge drop. As a senior, what do you want to say to him? "

Lu Chuan stopped suddenly, remembering Fang Ziheng's narrow smile in the China Film Hall, and suddenly an evil fire emerged from the bottom of his heart.

During the Chinese New Year period, you can hear the topic of "The Unknown" and Fang Ziheng everywhere on the Internet.

As a director with ideals and ambitions, he despises this kind of hype ploy.

The attempt to please the public is the root of the problem and brings disgrace to Nortel.

Thinking of this, Lu Chuan faced the reporter again and said seriously: "I'm not familiar with him, but as a senior brother, I want to say one thing: make movies well and don't be so vain. Filmmakers must bear the responsibility of promoting Chinese culture." Responsibility!"
