Chapter 546: Are Rubbish Movies Really Because Their Audiences Are Rubbish? (Monthly Ticket Request)
shameful.
For many people, they see that Chen Feng is still so stubborn even now. To be more precise, he completely refuses to listen to any opinions and insists on doing what he wants.
What's more, as of now, even a fool would know that "The World's Number One" has been a complete failure at the box office.
The word of mouth is off a cliff, and compared to the word of mouth, the box office also shows it.
This incident proves one thing, that is, a director's appeal is enormous, especially a director who can be said to have an excellent reputation, his appeal is naturally enormous.
But one thing is that if the work is not good, then this huge appeal will backfire.
Let me put it this way, the three-day box office of "The World's Number One" totaled 630 million yuan. This was because the box office of "The World's Number One" on the first day reached 370 million yuan. As a result, in just three days, on the third day, the box office shrank directly to 70 million yuan.
What does this indicate? ?
This shows that no matter what kind of director he is, the audience only believes in one thing, and that is the work.
You are a director, you speak through your work.
Anything else is nonsense and of no use.
If your work is not well-made, or even not good enough, then of course we will scold you.
What a result.
This Chen Feng actually said such words directly.
What do you mean the audience is not good?
Originally, Chen Feng had controlled himself a little when he was interviewed, because he also has an agent, and the agent hoped that Chen Feng would not be too aggressive.
Chen Feng has always been known for his boldness and ability to speak. Most of the time he is relatively low-key, and you can't find him even if you want to interview him. But when Chen Feng really wants to speak out, you can't stop him.
Originally, Chen Feng felt that he had said a lot, and he was indeed prepared to control himself.
In fact, up to now, Chen Feng still doesn’t think that "The World's Number One" is a failure. The production cost of this movie is certainly higher, but the stars’ pay is not high, and the cost of publicity and promotion is higher.
But even so, judging from the current box office of "The World's Number One", it will basically not lose too much money, and it may even make a lot of money later.
It is precisely because of this that Dongyi Film and Television has promoted it again and again.
Because Chen Feng himself is an IP.
But whether it was Dongyi Film and Television or Chen Feng, they did not expect that the box office of this movie would be so bad.
What I didn't expect was that people thought they could deceive people for a few more days. If they could continue to fool people for a few more days, the total box office of "The World's Number One" might easily break 1 billion. After all, after breaking 1 billion, the Lunar New Year holiday season will be over, so it would be nice to have another wave of follow-ups at that time.
After all, the seven days of the Spring Festival are decisive.
However, what Dongyi Film and Television did not expect was that the reputation of "The World's Number One" would collapse so terribly.
Dongyi Film and Television had previously reviewed "The World's Number One" internally, and everyone felt that this movie had the potential to be a hit, but it was also very likely to fail because Chen Feng was a little too self-absorbed.
So Dongyi Film and Television persuaded Chen Feng not to have a premiere or a preview.
Obviously, Dongyi Film and Television does not dare to take the risk.
After all, if the reputation of "The World's Number One" really collapses, then Dongyi Film and Television will be finished.
In that case, we might as well give it a try.
If you give it a try, you might still have a chance to become the best in the world.
It is conceivable that Dongyi Film and Television made the right bet this time.
Besides, Chen Feng’s reputation has collapsed, so let it collapse. We can just find another director next time.
But Chen Feng couldn't accept that.
You have to know that in the past almost every movie made by Chen Feng received rave reviews, and he even led the market trend. Although there were some criticisms at that time, most of the reviews were positive.
Moreover, Chen Feng has always believed that he is leading the market.
As a result, the reputation of "The World's Number One" collapsed so much this time that Chen Feng really couldn't stand it.
He actually has a breath.
During today's roadshow, Chen Feng spoke relatively well during the interview, but he thought that he would be fine after the interview, and he didn't expect that there would be another exclusive interview.
kindness.
This exclusive interview was obtained by Xiang Fei.
After all, Xiang Fei has been highly praised in the editorial department in recent times for writing "The Wandering Earth" and science fiction special topics.
Of course, it would be fine if it was just praised by the editorial department, but this topic has caused a huge increase in traffic and has been on the hot search list for almost three days.
Under such circumstances, it is actually more appropriate for Xiang Fei to interview Chen Feng.
After all, on the first day, "The World's Number One" earned a box office of 370 million thanks to its high screening schedule and Chen Feng's IP, but it fell behind on the second day.
In fact, as a die-hard fan of Chen Feng, Xiang Fei really wanted to ask Chen Feng what he thought.
So Xiang Fei asked in more detail.
But this little detail often makes Chen Feng dissatisfied.
It's not just ordinary dissatisfaction.
In Xiang Fei's opinion, the online criticisms of "The World's Number One" are not just a few words, and many of the criticisms cannot be said to be wrong.
So Xiang Fei communicated with Chen Feng with the idea of discussing something.
For example, there are issues with the character design of the protagonist in "The World's Number One", as well as issues with the character design of the heroine and the character design of other supporting characters.
The character setting is inconsistent.
This is second.
There is also the advancement of the plot and so on.
In short, what Xiang Fei said was relatively professional. In Xiang Fei's opinion, he could just use this opportunity to ask Chen Feng about these professional matters.
Chen Feng also responded one by one.
In short, in terms of professionalism, there is nothing to say about Chen Feng.
Later, Xiang Fei asked about the issue of word of mouth.
Because what Xiang Fei said had already made Chen Feng slightly angry.
Is this guy just talking about something irrelevant? ? ?
After all, the current "Number One Under Heaven" is bound to flop at the box office.
But this failure is relative to Chen Feng. If compared with other ordinary directors, then Chen Feng’s performance is not considered a failure, and may even be an unattainable goal for them.
For this reason, Chen Feng said: "I have an expectation for the box office of "Number One Under Heaven". I have considered such a box office a long time ago. Also, the level of current moviegoers is too low. They don't know how to appreciate it at all. This is what I said before. As a director, we have the obligation to change this aesthetic..."
After Chen Feng finished speaking, Xiang Fei was stunned.
When you, Chen Feng, said before that the audience didn't appreciate the film, it caused quite a stir. No matter how you think about it, it's impossible for a director like you to say that.
But today's interview still said this? ?
What Xiang Fei didn't expect was that Chen Feng looked at him and said, "I must write this last sentence because I need to break the false side of this domestic entertainment industry."
Xiang Fei hurriedly said, "Okay, Director Chen, I will definitely write down the interview word for word."
This is a large amount of traffic.
Of course, Xiang Fei was not thinking about the so-called traffic. He really felt that Chen Feng had gone a little too crazy.
You said you want to lead the market, so does Yu Xiaoshu count as leading the market? ?
For this reason, Xiang Fei said again: "Director Chen, but does this market leadership have anything to do with the failure of your film? Look at "The Wandering Earth", as a sci-fi revival, it also had a huge box office and a great reputation. Does this mean that we can find a node???"
Who knew that Xiang Fei's words would completely make Chen Feng unable to sit still.
You have to know that Chen Feng has not been looking at the Internet recently. As a director, of course he has to see what netizens say.
After all, at this time, Chen Feng wanted to take a look at many online directors and opinions.
In the past, Chen Feng actually said that he was willing to listen to opinions and he wanted to see what advice netizens would give.
But this time it was a bit of a waste.
Because netizens are basically critical, it can be said that up to now, only about one-tenth or one-twelfth of the netizens have praised "The World's Number One", and these one-tenth or one-twelfth are all trust in Chen Feng personally.
As for the rest, haha, let’s not talk about it.
You said that originally Chen Feng admired Yu Xiaoshu but did not agree with him, because to Chen Feng, Yu Xiaoshu and Yao Qing were the same kind of people, they were not artists, they were businessmen.
A successful businessman will of course make his products more appealing to the general public.
"I've said before that the market is a bit distorted now, so we need to improve the audience's aesthetic taste. What we need to do is not to please the audience blindly, just like Yu Xiaoshu. I don't have a problem with him, but don't you think Yu Xiaoshu's works are a bit flattering to the audience?"
When Chen Feng got to this point, he said directly: "I have something else to do. Let's end the interview here today."
It is obvious that Chen Feng is not only unpresentable, he has lost his manners.
There's no way. Anyone would lose their composure if they failed like this.
Think about it, there was once a little cannon in another time and space who said that there were so many rubbish audiences because they were rubbish.
Although Chen Feng didn't say it so harshly, to be honest, what he said was almost the same.
Xiang Fei knew that this article would definitely cause a storm after it was published. At the same time, Xiang Fei also wanted to discuss with everyone, is it true that rubbish movies are caused by rubbish audiences? ?
kindness.
Xiang Fei knew how to write in order to completely ignite the explosive point, so he simply gave it a title that would completely ignite the explosive point.
Not only is the title explosive, but Xiang Fei also says a lot in the manuscript.
For him, he really stands from a neutral perspective to discuss with the audience.
Are crappy movies really because of crappy audiences?
This actually has both positive and negative sides.
Just like when young and handsome actors were popular, if it weren't for the fans paying for the movies, how could there be so many box office revenues? ?
Isn’t this a rotten market?
Also, some movies are obviously rubbish, but the box office is still so high, so isn’t it because there are rubbish audiences???
As soon as Xiang Fei sent out this article, it almost expectedly attracted a lot of discussion.
"Damn, I think Chen Feng is really shameless. Is he just going to say that his box office failure is because of the audience?"
"Actually, I just want to ask Chen Feng, do you still have any shame?"
"Trash audience? So if we don't watch your movie, it's trash."
"If nothing else, your movie 'Number One Under Heaven' is just garbage."
…
Obviously, Chen Feng's opinion did arouse public anger.
But to be honest, many people still agree with it.
"I think Chen Feng actually said a cruel reality. Just tell me, some movies are obviously rubbish but have such high box office. What does this prove? Isn't it because people pay for rubbish movies?"
"Yes, take Blind Date for example, this movie is rubbish, but the box office is obviously going to rebound, and it has reversed the decline in the past three days, second only to The Wandering Earth."
"Yes, I wanted to say that, but what I want to say more is that the current market is like this. As long as a rubbish movie is slightly packaged, it will definitely have a similar box office."
"Are there not enough rubbish movies with hundreds of millions of box office revenue? There are quite a few. What can I say about this???"
"Support Director Chen."
…
Well, some people agree.
The current market is really due to the poor aesthetic taste of some audiences.
So what Chen Feng said about the audience being rubbish is really normal.
However, many people think that even if the audience is rubbish, you, Chen Feng, have no right to blame us for this.
Because your movie is not good either.
Originally, many people had opinions about Chen Feng, and as a result, Chen Feng could be said to have directly aroused public anger.
Even some film critics were outraged.
"As film critics, we often cautiously call the audience trash, because you can't disrespect your bread and butter, after all, you make movies for the audience to pay for, but after the audience watches your movie, you call it trash??? This is unreasonable in this world."
"I think I spent money, so I spent money to buy movie tickets, I don't like the movie, can't I say a few words? Just like I spent money on a meal, I don't like the meal, can't I say it tastes bad???"
"Chen Feng's personality is really twisted. I understand him, but he really went too far this time. Yes, he didn't call the audience rubbish, but his words and deeds were basically the same."
…
After all, Chen Feng didn't directly say that the audience was rubbish, but what he said was almost the same.
The media is very excited about this wave.
Because it’s a hot topic again.
Then the media began to ask Bai Suzhen and Guo Han in turn. These two were certainly not stupid. On the one hand, they did not choose to offend Chen Feng, and on the other hand, it was impossible for them to offend the audience.
In short, it was just a mess.
It's similar for some other directors or screenwriters.
The media were not surprised, after all, this was Chen Feng.
Then it was time to interview Yu Xiaoshu on "The Wandering Earth".
