Shen Lianjie was shocked!
After seeing the box office data for the day, Shen Lianjie couldn't believe his eyes.
It was like seeing a ghost.
Seven million?
What!
Seven million?
What data is this?
Are you sure this is my second day result of "Capital City"?
Shen Lianjie wiped his eyes, then took another look at the report and checked it carefully several times. However, when he saw the shocking numbers again, he was dumbfounded.
Zhang Tong: “Subway Station” cost 15 million.
Xu Xiaoming: "War Night" cost 13 million.
Li Tong's "My Deskmate" 11 million...
Shen Lianjie's "Capital" 7 million...
Originally ranked fourth, "My Deskmate" unexpectedly surpassed "The Capital" fiercely, and surpassed the box office of 4 million on the same day to rank third...
As for myself, I became the fourth child, only three million short of the seven million investment in the low-budget "Crazy Life"...
this……
Everyone is making progress and the box office is reaching new highs, but "Capital City" is bucking the trend and has even dropped by three million...
This was no longer a feeling of whether or not he was being cheated; it made Shen Lianjie feel completely dizzy.
However, as an old revolutionary after all, Shen Lianjie took a deep breath and then opened the movie ratings on Tomato.com...
It would have been fine if he hadn't opened it, but once he opened it, he actually vomited blood.
He knew his movie's online ratings were not good, but this data...
The top-rated one was "Buried" with 9.5 points, and the second was "Subway Station" with 9 points. Then he looked at the movies one by one and finally found his own "Capital" at the twentieth place.
The final rating of "Capital City" is 4.2, and this number seems to have a trend of continuing to decline again. It is basically on the same level as those 3.0 domestic bad movies...
As for the comments below, there is no need to mention them, they are just a bunch of curses, all kinds of curses, you can't even find a single positive comment.
Shen Lianjie closed his eyes, and the dizziness became even stronger.
"I guess I'm the most criticized director of a movie released this year..."
"This..." The assistant looked at the reviews online and hesitated.
"Tell me the truth, is it or is it not?" Shen Lianjie opened his eyes and stared at his assistant.
"That's not the case..." The assistant shook his head after looking at the director's negative review list.
"no?"
"The person who received the most criticism was Lu Yuan, the director of Buried Alive... Brother Shen, you are still ranked second." The assistant pointed to the first place on the negative review list and looked at Shen Lianjie.
"What? Buried Alive has such a great reputation, how come he was scolded and put on the list?" Shen Lianjie looked curiously at the comments below that scolded Lu Yuan for withholding 800,000 yuan of investment, and immediately closed his eyes again.
At that moment, he didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
Of course he didn't believe it.
Making a movie with 800,000 is already a joke. To deduct 800,000 and make a movie with 200,000...
What to shoot with?
Take a picture with your head?
"Brother Shen, how about I contact Liu Fangfei and the others and ask them to arrange some activities? This won't work!"
"Well, go ahead! It's not the last minute yet."
"good."
"Oh, by the way, what was the box office of Buried? Are there any statistics?"
"It's still four million."
“…”
After hearing this number, Shen Lianjie felt bad.
One is losing money at the box office, while the other is making a ton of money...
This is really...
It's very complicated.
…
September 3rd.
It is still a hot day for box office competition.
But fans were a little confused.
That morning, movie fans who were holding their tickets and preparing to go to Tianhe Cinemas to watch a movie were suddenly a little confused.
They found that "Buried Alive" was suddenly removed from the shelves, and a compensation notice was posted that required half a day of rectification.
What to rectify?
What's there to correct?
Are you kidding me?
At first, they thought that the film had violated some regulations and that it was banned by the Radio, Film and Television Administration. After all, the scale of some art films is difficult to control and they will be reported and reviewed again. However, when they went to the Radio, Film and Television Administration to inquire, they did not see any approval from the Radio, Film and Television Administration for rectification of "Buried Alive"...
this……
What is this?
Could it be that the cinema chain took the movie off the shelves without permission?
Are you sick?
Don’t you want to make money anymore?
Naturally, the fans were quite dissatisfied, and they were ready to go to various forums, websites, and Weibo to continue making trouble. Tianhe Cinemas and Lu Yuan unfortunately became the targets of the fans' attacks. Even Lu Yuan himself had more than twice as many negative reviews as Shen Lianjie, and he was firmly at the top of the negative review list!
No one could understand what this operation was.
After lunch on September 3rd, "Buried" was shown again on Tianhe Cinemas and everything returned to normal. At the same time, Tianqin and Wanjia also showed "Buried".
After seeing that "Buried" was shown in big cinemas like Tianqin and Wanjia, and that the quality of "Buried" had been completely improved, the noisy netizens on the Internet finally understood why the show had to be shown in the second half of the day!
It turns out that the entire film "Buried" was re-edited and revised, which made the quality even better!
After seeing this scene, the number of people scolding Lu Yuan on the Internet decreased significantly, and Lu Yuan finally dropped out of the top spot with regret. As for Shen Lianjie, he finally succeeded in taking the first place in the director's negative review list...
After dropping out of the top ten, Lu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief!
This comes at a price!
fifty thousand!
Lu Yuan spent a full 50,000 yuan to re-edit the sample film, and made revisions to some details overnight, which brought the quality of the entire film to a higher level.
Although this operation was very bold and no one had ever done this before, and it would affect the box office revenue after all, Lu Yuan did it anyway.
And he did it with determination!
Why?
People on the internet criticized Lu Yuan for withholding investment every day, even to an exaggerated amount of 800,000 yuan, which made Lu Yuan very upset.
He couldn't let his reputation be ruined like this.
What can he do?
Could it be that he only embezzled 200,000 yuan?
This kind of thing really cannot be clarified, after all, it would be a disguised admission that I am a very greedy person...
How is this possible?
Finally made up my mind and spent a lot of money to make corrections!
At least judging from the reactions of netizens, I have been cleared of all charges?
Half-day box office?
Anyway, I have already made back my money, so half a day won’t have much of an impact…
…
In the early morning of September 4th, the box office statistics came out again.
When the assistant came to Shen Lianjie's office with the box office report, he saw that Shen Lianjie looked haggard.
"How much is our box office today!" Shen Lianjie looked up.
"Ten million!"
"Huh, it seems that using Liu Fangfei for promotion is somewhat effective. At least she has a lot of die-hard fans."
"Yes, by the way, Brother Shen, there is one thing I don't know whether I should tell you... I think it may be very important."
"What? Tell me!"
"Well... the box office of Buried Alive on the third day was six million..."
"Six million, it's not a threat to us, right?"
"Because he took it off the shelves for half a day, so it was actually not shown for a whole day, but half a day..."
"What! Half a day? Six million in half a day?"
Shen Lianjie widened his eyes, unable to believe his ears.
"Here is the report, would you like to take a look?"
“…”
When Shen Lianjie received the box office data of "Buried Alive", his whole body was shocked. At this moment, he seemed to think of Fatty Wei's wretched smile...
Six million!
Damn it!
this……
Is it a huge explosion?
Then tomorrow...
…
Early morning of September 5th.
"How much is "Buried Alive"?!"
"Nine million..."
"How many of us?"
"Four million..."
"What? How much?"
"Four million..."
"Grass!"
