August 1st.
At nine o'clock in the morning, Lu Hao turned on his computer and looked at the real-time box office of the two movies.
"Dancing Girl": 480,000.
"The Dancing Girl of Izu": 540,000.
The gap between the two is not that big, which is the advantage of bundled promotion and marketing.
After all, many viewers bought two tickets and watched both.
It was normal that she earned 60,000 yuan more at the box office than Chu Wen because she had more fans than her.
To be honest, this box office was within Lu Hao's estimation range, and he had previously expected it to fluctuate around 500,000.
But it is still inevitable to be a little disappointed.
According to this data, by midnight tonight, the highest box office on the first day will be only two million.
The release period is thirty days, so no matter how you calculate it, the total revenue of the two films is only one hundred million yuan at most.
After deducting the share from the theaters and other expenses, the profit left to me was about 30 million.
After this account was settled, Lu Hao's face became even darker.
Haha, after working hard for several months, the salary I get is not as much as the system pays!
It’s so hard for me!
After taking a sip of water, Lu Hao thought silently.
In fact, if word of mouth explodes, it is still possible to open low and end high.
Word of mouth.
The key is word of mouth.
…
Lu Hao first opened Rotten Tomatoes.
This is a professional third-party film rating website, which has always been known for its strict ratings and is home to many professionals and senior film critics in the film and television industry.
Commonly known as, Lao Pao.
His own film "The Piano Tuner" received a score of 9.8 when it was played on three video websites, but it only received a score of 9.1 on Rotten Tomatoes.
Although it is considered a high score, the gap between the standards is visible.
"Dancing Girl": 9.7 points!
"This is a rare masterpiece among domestic films. I have to say, I haven't seen such a powerful film in a long time. Movies are guns, bullets, and artillery fire that shoots into people's hearts. Director Chu Wen's shot almost gave me a heart attack. It's exciting!"
…
"It's foreseeable that this film won't be a huge hit at the box office, but its significance is profound, as there's never been a similar subject before. In this film, I saw Chu Wen's ingenuity and delicacy as a female director. Particularly noteworthy is her camera language, which is full of contrast and power, and unique nationwide. Compared to her debut, this film is a huge improvement. The scale remains the same, but the expression is much more clever. I look forward to her next work."
…
"Those who feel compassion while watching this film are bodhisattvas, those who feel fear are gentlemen, those who feel joy are villains, and those who want to imitate are animals."
Lu Hao was stunned by the bunch of flattery. He was really surprised.
Even a master cannot guarantee that he can fully grasp the audience's taste.
I didn’t expect Chu Wen’s movie to receive such high praise.
These old-timers just like to force values on others!
Then look at my own "The Dancing Girl of Izu".
8.9 points.
"It's a niche masterpiece, a fresh and meaningful story, and the camera language is beautiful, but the plot is a bit thin. The most regrettable thing is that it has lost the depth of "The Tuner". For Lu Hao, it is a kind of laziness and regression."
"I have to say that as a debut film, this movie is qualified, even excellent, but compared to The Piano Tuner, Lu Hao's screenwriting skills have regressed and it has lost that sense of wonder."
Lu Hao: ???
I'll go to yours!
Your family eats meat and fish every day, so can't you have some plain porridge and vegetables?
Do you have to force depth?
Looking at these comments, Lu Hao couldn't help but light a cigarette. Although he was unhappy, he still made a serious summary.
What is the biggest flaw of "The Dancing Girl of Izu"?
It's the cultural background.
On Earth, this is an island country movie that advocates the aesthetic concept of "mono no aware".
In the eyes of the older generation of film critics and audiences, it may indeed be a bit difficult to adapt to the local environment.
Of course, a classic is still a classic. "Beauty" may not be universal, but at least "emotion" is universal, so it has a high score of 8.9.
…
Open Weibo and you'll see a completely different picture.
"I've watched both movies. I particularly like director Chu Wen's work. Does anyone know her home address? I'd like to give her a few kitchen knives. (Blood dripping) (Blood dripping)"
"I thought it would be exciting after seeing the poster, and it really is. How dark must one be to make a movie like this? I took off my pants and you show me this?"
"Dancing Girl is so good, so joyful, and so funny. It's definitely suitable for taking the whole family and children to watch..."
"+1 for fun and hilariousness. I've recommended this to all my friends. Sharing joy is worse than enjoying it alone."
…
The audience who understood the jokes were all enjoying the fun, while the more honest audiences were all complaining.
The word of mouth is a bit polarized, but it is actually consistent.
There hasn't been a movie with such a large scale in many years.
Chu Wen's scale is infinitely close to the ceiling of domestic films.
Compared with "Dancing Girl", the review section of "Dancing Girl of Izu" is much more harmonious, with all positive reviews, such as beautiful, sweet, fresh and healing.
Especially Jiang Xianyu's appearance. The scene of her waving and smiling in the mountain hot spring has touched the hearts of thousands of boys.
I took a look at Jiang Xianyu's Weibo. Yesterday he had hundreds of thousands of followers, but now he has more than 500,000.
While scrolling through the comments, Lu Hao suddenly discovered that more and more fans were forwarding a movie review.
——"Two Dancers, All Life is Suffering, You Flavor Strawberry, Lu Tiantian"
"@Mr. Lu, Lu Tiantian!"
"Congratulations to Mr. Lu for his new title: The Sweetest Person on the Internet!"
"Oh my, my name is the same as Mr. Lu's. My name is Lu Tiantian..."
Click to read this long film review.
"First of all, I would like to recommend these two movies to those who haven't seen them yet. Both are great, but I suggest the correct viewing order is to watch "Dancing Girl" first and then "The Dancing Girl of Izu". Trust me, be good."
…
"Two films with the same theme but different styles, released simultaneously, show that President Lu is truly not short of money. To me, this is a perfect performance art. In the previous "The Tuner" film review competition, President Lu used his financial prowess to teach everyone in the film industry a lesson, and now, it's the second lesson! There's more to movies than this!"
…
"Dancing Girl" is very bitter, just like the life of every ordinary person, with ups and downs. You can more or less see your own shadow in the film. It's like a cup of 1982-year-old bitter coptis chinensis water, so bitter that you grimace but can't cry."
"And 'The Dancing Girl of Izu' is like a piece of candy, strawberry-flavored fructose, sweet but not greasy, sad but not heartbreaking. After watching it, it really makes you want to fall in love..."
"@Mr. Lu, Lu Tiantian, your number one fangirl is confessing her love online!"
This is a familiar writing style.
Lu Hao followed the link and clicked on the original author of the film review.
As expected, it was Zhou Xiaomeng.
