The night is as cool as water, and the setting moon leaves a white space.
Ning Heng originally planned to take some time to check out his opponent's works. Of course, the word "opponent" does not refer to Wang Jin and Qin Sheng. In his eyes, the only work that can truly be called an opponent is "Corpse Mountain".
In fact, in recent years, the decline of the Chinese film industry and the endless stream of bad films such as "Getting shot several times but standing up and continuing to work", "Anti-Japanese War films where we all put on hairspray to blind the enemy's eyes", and "50-cent PS special effects" have seriously damaged people's confidence in local films, which has directly led to the severe invasion of foreign culture.
Many times, once certain movies are labeled with the three golden signs of "Hollywood", they can directly beat a number of local films.
Ning Heng was not convinced about this, and this was the reason why he set the release date in such a turbulent period in addition to attacking Qin Sheng.
If others can't stand up, he has to stand up!
He has completely regarded himself as the leader of the new generation of Chinese films!
As the saying goes, knowing yourself and your enemy, you can fight a hundred battles with no danger of defeat.
He had originally been thinking of taking some time to watch "Corpse Mountain", and then review the currently popular "Interstellar", and then use his sharp criticism to find faults online and attract the public's attention.
I have to say that he is very thoughtful. As long as he can speak out and criticize at this critical moment, the public's attention will be on him. Then, as long as the quality of "Feng Hua" is not bad, the box office will not be low, and there will be many "patriots" who will speak for him.
But one has to be calculative after all. He had prepared the movie tickets early and was ready to go out, but suddenly Wang Sikai called him to meet him, saying that there was something important to discuss.
Thinking that there would still be time to check it out tomorrow morning, Ning Heng decided to go. He immediately took a taxi to Wang's house.
As a result, when I walked in, I found Wang Sikai and Wei Qian looking forward to the future with great interest. When they saw Ning Heng coming, they also praised him enthusiastically.
"Ning Heng, hahahaha, I have good news for you. Vanke and the French cinema chain said that our film 'Feng Hua' has received very good response, and most of them have allocated their screenings to us. I believe that even 'Corpse Mountain' can't stop us this time!"
"Yeah, yeah, it's really settled now. The first round of premieres for 'Corpse Mountain' has already ended, and the Douban score is exploding, only 4.8. The Korean film is garbage!"
As he spoke, Wei Qian did not forget to tui to express his indignation.
However, Ning Heng's eyebrows slowly raised, and the sneer on his face became even more intense, as if to say, "That's it???"
"I originally thought that Corpse Mountain, being from a famous Korean director, would be good, but it turned out to be just so-so, haha."
He brushed his sleeves without interest and sat down leisurely.
Wang Sikai beside him also smiled calmly.
"I thought this 'Mountain of Corpses' would start and end strong like 'The Curse', but who knew... it would end up like this???"
In fact, it is not their fault that they look down on others. After all, there has never been a film in history that successfully made a comeback with a Douban score of 4.8 on its premiere.
This is a score that cannot be any lower. If it is a score given by only a few people, it may be difficult to convince the public. But if more than 30,000 people give this score, then there is more than just a small problem. There must be a very big problem!
There could be logical flaws, out-of-character situations, or a dull plot. All in all, the failure of "Mountain of Corpse" is almost a foregone conclusion.
"Watching your competitors fall is such a pleasurable experience. I love it, hahahaha."
Wang Sikai smacked his lips in ecstasy. He was a little too proud of himself and felt that his future was bright.
Looking at the current situation, their only rivals are "Lost in Space", which just topped the box office charts, and "Cursed", which is second. However, the former two have been released for a long time, and their momentum has long since slowed down. If the reputation of "Wind and Flower" can blossom during this period of time, it is not impossible for it to surpass the second place and even occupy the top spot!
Looking at the two people's smug expressions, although Ning Heng despised them in his heart, he still felt a sense of satisfaction.
"Ning Heng, can you give us another estimate now? How much can our box office be?"
Wei Qian excitedly pressed the issue. The actual box office figures depended entirely on the market, and no one could predict the future. But he was already brimming with excitement, so he was very happy to hear this cold fellow's confident and majestic words. It made him feel warm inside, like Sophie was wrapped in his arms. It was so heartwarming.
"Does 1.3 billion have a chance?"
"1.3 billion?"
Wang Sikai scolded him lightly, "Only 1.3 billion? That's way too easy. It must be at least 2 billion, Old Wei. Look at you, you're such a loser. Hahahaha."
Wei Qian felt extremely uncomfortable after being mocked by Wang Sikai for no reason. This idiot was begging like a dog just now, but in the blink of an eye, he glared at people with his nose in the air.
Still 2 billion!
Please eat more peanuts, I don’t even dare to think like you!
But, Wang Sikai dared to think, Ning Heng was even more crazy,
"Two billion is useless."
He shook his head and said calmly, "I'm not just going for the money this time. I want fame. Fame is the key to surviving in this industry. I'll try to get first and second place. When the time comes, you must help me promote it. Artists under my management, endorsements, anyone can help. This is an opportunity, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
