Chapter 393 Aesthetics, Reaching the Top
There are already a lot of articles about Yu Xiaoshu on the Internet. Most people think that Yu Xiaoshu’s interviews are mediocre, because everything he said and pretended to be cool has all come true.
Hey, isn’t this infuriating?
Yu Xiaoshu before the divorce and Yu Xiaoshu after the divorce were like a watershed.
Before his divorce, Yu Xiaoshu had completely transformed from a favored child of heaven into a piece of trash and waste.
And what about Yu Xiaoshu after the divorce? ?
Soar into the sky.
It's like a real rebirth, and every film they shoot is creating miracles.
No wonder many people say marriage is a grave. Otherwise, why does Yu Xiaoshu lose his talent once he gets married, but becomes so powerful once he gets divorced? ?
Of course, these statements are just jokes.
What more people are willing to believe is that Yu Xiaoshu experienced a rebound after reaching a low point, because this is what everyone is willing to believe.
But how to say it?
It's just that sometimes the way Yu Xiaoshu speaks really makes everyone admire him again and again.
Just like this article written by Xiang Fei.
In this article, Yu Xiaoshu said: "I don't know much about the film market, but I know the audience. As long as I don't fool the audience, they will definitely support me. I just want to make a movie to see how difficult the film market is. In the end, after making "Let the Bullets Fly", I feel that it is just so-so."
Many people in the industry want to beat Yu Xiaoshu to death after hearing these words.
Will you die if you don’t pretend to be cool?
For example, the sentence below.
"I am not satisfied with the box office of Lost on Journey, which cost 8 million yuan to make, because I think it is far from what I expected. But to be honest, I don't care about the box office when I make a movie, so I am not really worried about the box office of Lost on Journey. What I am worried about is whether the audience likes the movie."
…
Honestly speaking, Yu Xiaoshu's words really made many people feel a little upset.
That's right.
It's a pain in the ass.
Just think about it yourself. Many directors and producers cannot get investment when they are making a movie. Not to mention some others. If a movie fails at the box office, there will be no future.
That's exactly the case. Basically, most of the time, everyone wants a movie to have good box office.
What a result.
You, Yu Xiaoshu, said this.
Some people in the industry must be unhappy with his words.
"This Yu Xiaoshu is a typical person who gets arrogant when he is successful. Haha, what's the point of not caring about the box office when making a movie? I want to see if he will not care when his next movie is popular at the box office."
"Yes, I think so too. Has Yu Xiaoshu become so arrogant?"
"What I really want to say is, can you please stop talking nonsense? Can Yu Xiaoshu stop being so arrogant? Is he really not afraid that his next work will flop?"
"That's right. I want to see what Yu Xiaoshu's next movie will be like."
…
Obviously, Yu Xiaoshu's article successfully stirred hatred.
But it didn't work.
Yu Xiaoshu didn't care about these so-called sarcasms at all.
It is said that there are many people who look down on me, who do you think you are? ?
For Yu Xiaoshu, he really didn't care about this matter at all.
This article was not entirely for showing off, Yu Xiaoshu wrote it mainly for publicity.
The road show in Qicheng lasted for two days, and then Yu Xiaoshu started the road show in the north with "Lost on Journey".
I also went to Dingge's hometown.
This time Dingge can be said to have returned home in glory.
There is only one movie theater in Dingge’s hometown county. Usually, there are quite a lot of people in this theater. After all, everyone’s conditions are much better now, so it is normal to watch a movie sometimes.
This is considered ordinary consumption for watching movies.
But for this cinema, they never expected that they would also welcome a celebrity roadshow.
You know, who would care about or pay attention to their small county in the past? ?
So on that day, it can be said that the entire county was in an uproar.
After all, it is the last day of the Spring Festival, so of course everyone came to the cinema.
In the past, cinemas were always packed during the Spring Festival, but this time, not only were cinemas packed, but even outside the cinemas and in the shopping malls, they were packed.
"Oh my god, it really is Teacher Yu. Teacher Yu, I love you."
"Lin Feiyang, Feiyang, Feiyang, I love you."
"Oh my god, I really didn't expect to see Zhou Xiaozhi at such a close distance."
…
Obviously, people in the mall were also excited.
During the Spring Festival, the flow of people is already large, and with so many celebrities coming, it can be said to be quite crowded. Fortunately, Yu Xiaoshu already knew a little about the situation. He hired professional security personnel and also discussed with the mall, which is that order must be maintained.
After all, it would be really terrible if something like that happened during the Spring Festival.
It’s even possible that Lost on Journey will be a complete failure.
It's ok now.
At least everyone is maintaining order.
Yu Xiaoshu and a group of actors greeted the audience, took photos with them, and also greeted some passers-by in the mall.
Yu Xiaoshu also said with a smile: "Have you watched Lost on Journey? If you haven't watched it, you must watch it."
The last day of the Spring Festival.
I hope everyone is happy.
On the last day of the Spring Festival, "Lost on Journey" has already created a miracle.
The box office of several other movies either fell badly, like "Cold-Blooded Dragon", the current screening schedule has dropped to 9, and the single-day box office is only 20 million.
This is the Spring Festival period. You have to know that once the Spring Festival is over, the market will be extremely deserted. At present, although the box office of the movie "Cold-Blooded Dragon" seems good, this movie has failed both in terms of cast and production.
In addition to "Cold Blooded Dragon", the box office of the remaining three movies like "The End of the World", "The Man from Alien Planet" and "Crocodile Attack" have gradually stabilized. Obviously, this means that almost all the movies that should be watched have been watched.
But there is only one movie that has been declining.
This is Lost on Journey.
During the Spring Festival, the market fell for 3 consecutive days. What kind of miracle did this create?
No, it should be said that it has been falling for 6 consecutive days.
These days, the daily box office of "Lost on Journey" has also been rising.
Naturally, the number of screenings is also rising.
It can be said that "Lost on Journey" has truly accomplished a task that everyone thought was impossible.
Now, it’s the last day of the Spring Festival period, and people are paying more attention to it online.
"What do you think the box office of Lost on Journey will be on the last day?"
“I don’t know, but based on the current trend, I think the box office on the last day might really create a legend.”
"Oh, I just don't understand, why did Lost on Journey get such a high box office?"
“I don’t know, but no matter what, Lost on Journey is the biggest winner of the Spring Festival. No one denies this.”
…
Indeed, no one has denied it.
As things stand now, the box office of "Lost on Journey" is already a legend.
The impossible was accomplished.
Who do you think is unconvinced?
No.
Now it’s not a question of acceptance. Most people are now envious, jealous and hateful.
I am really envious and jealous.
Because "Lost on Journey" is a small production.
8 million.
Such a cost is not even enough to cover the salary of the leading actor in "Cold-Blooded Dragon".
Everyone says blockbuster is king.
Now it's better.
Bullshit blockbusters are king.
Small productions can also overturn everything.
The current single-day box office of "Lost on Journey" during the six-day Spring Festival is proof of this.
"Lost on Journey" grossed 100 million yuan on its first day of release.
The next day, the single-day box office reached 130 million.
On the third day, the single-day box office reached 140 million yuan.
On the fourth day, the single-day box office reached 160 million yuan.
On the fifth day, the single-day box office reached 190 million yuan.
On the sixth day, the single-day box office reached 230 million yuan.
That's right, in just six days, the box office of "Lost on Journey" reversed and increased every day, which is truly impossible during the Spring Festival period.
In other periods, it is entirely possible to have a one-day reversal of decline, but a six-day reversal of decline is simply impossible.
However, "Lost on Journey" managed to reverse the decline for 6 days during the Spring Festival, which is a real miracle.
What is the most important thing?
The most important thing is that "Lost on Journey" may reverse its decline on the seventh day, which is a bit scary.
"Can you tell me how much the box office of Lost on Journey will be on the last day of the National Day holiday?"
"It's hard to say how many there are, but I think it will definitely be more than 230 million."
"I also think it will be more than 230 million. With the current momentum of Lost on Journey, I think it might give us a big surprise."
“It’s hard to say. I personally think Lost on Journey has almost reached its peak.”
"Well, it should have reached its peak, so it will definitely fall below 200 million."
…
In short, many people have started to pay attention to "Lost on Journey" this time.
no way.
It's impossible not to pay attention.
The truth is that this movie has caused quite a lot of discussion recently.
There is no need to mention the box office, it has been falling for 6 consecutive days.
In addition to this, there was the discussion after Yu Xiaoshu participated in Zhu Zhichao’s wedding. It can be said that this discussion also accounted for a large part.
Of course, there are also people who question "Lost on Journey".
A man in the capital went to the afternoon show of Lost on Journey, and he was surprised to find that there were only a few people in the show.
Not only that, in order to verify it, he invited his friends to go to several sessions, and they were still ghost sessions with few people.
Then this gentleman seemed to have discovered a new world.
They think Lost on Journey is a fake.
Falsification.
The destructive power of this word is quite huge.
What’s more important is that after this gentleman spoke out, people from other cities such as Shanghai and Fog City came forward with reports that everyone felt that the box office of Lost on Journey was abnormal.
That's right.
It's just not normal.
It would be understandable if only one person watched a movie at a small show, but it is not normal if so many people found that there were not many people in their show.
So this incident became a big deal. How big was it? It topped the trending search list in just 3 hours.
Then.
Then everyone knows what happened.
People in first-tier cities don’t like “Lost on Journey”, but people in third- and fourth-tier cities love it very much.
There was almost no need for official refutation, as a bunch of people also posted photos.
"So what I watched was a fake Lost on Journey."
"Then look at this, are there more people?"
"Ghost field? Take a good look at me, is this a ghost field?"
…
Good job.
This has suddenly become a competition between first-tier cities and third- and fourth-tier cities.
Aesthetic isolation is perfectly interpreted here.
And because of this, many people who are still in first-tier cities have also become interested.
Do they want to see what this movie is all about?
Why do people in third- and fourth-tier cities like to watch it so much?
This in turn boosted the box office in first-tier cities.
Therefore, the box office of "Lost on Journey" is still declining in the past few days.
Miracle.
Many people's evaluation of "Lost on Journey" is "down to earth."
Precisely because it is down-to-earth, many people like the movie "Lost on Journey" very much, especially, how should I put it, especially those in third- and fourth-tier cities.
It's very simple. When they watched this movie, they thought of their own Spring Festival travel experiences.
For example, some people are going home, or some people who don't have this kind of crowded experience, so of course they don't feel involved when watching "Lost on Journey".
And when there is no sense of immersion, then naturally you don't want to watch it.
This is exactly why some people in first-tier cities don’t like it.
Some young literary and artistic people don't like to watch it even more.
They think more simply, how can we watch such a vulgar movie.
What is vulgar? ?
What is elegant? ?
As long as the audience likes the movie, it's worth it.
Therefore, during the last day of the Spring Festival roadshow, when Yu Xiaoshu was asked about the so-called aesthetic isolation of movies, he said: "I don't care about this. Movies are made for the audience. So? The aesthetics of first-tier cities are beautiful? The aesthetics of third- and fourth-tier cities are not beautiful? And let me say one more thing, workers are the most beautiful people."
After this last sentence was said, there was thunderous applause from the audience.
And the next day, in the early morning, the single-day box office of "Lost on Journey" was officially released.
Everyone stopped talking after looking at the single-day box office.
This time, "Lost on Journey" topped the single-day box office on the last day of the Spring Festival.
300 million.
No one expected that on the seventh day, the single-day box office of "Lost on Journey" would achieve such a miracle.
What’s more important is that this movie surpassed all other blockbusters at the box office.
