"Selling dog meat on a sheep's head, it's a big boat of love as promised, this is it!"

"I'm so angry that I was tricked into the cinema again by a marketing account. The movie is over 120 minutes long and has less than five minutes of boat scenes. Why on earth did you tell me this is called the masterpiece "The Wheel"? Where's my wheel?"

"

"Damn it, Master Huang is getting more and more greasy. He is trying to be cool from the beginning to the end. He can do nothing but look cool!"

"Mom, they all play soldiers, and they don't even have a tenth of the flavor of the young soldier characters in "The Wind"!"

"The plot of "The Taiping Wheel" is boring. I really don't recommend that people spend money to buy tickets!"

"Damn it, I thought it was a cruise ship disaster romance movie, but it turned out to be an extremely trashy war movie. It's better to stay at home and watch an anti-Japanese drama. At least it's fun enough!"

"What the hell, there are two parts. The shipwreck didn't appear until the end of the first part. No, Wu Baige, why are you so confident that people who have watched the first part are willing to spend money to watch the second part?"

"Look at the hammer, Wu Baige is not trustworthy!"

"I understand, one movie is made into two parts, just to make money!"

"The oriental-style "Titanic" was promised, but I'm really screwed. I'll never watch Wu Baige's movie again!"

"Refund the check and pay back the money!"

"Refund the check and pay back the money!"

After only two days of release, "The Wheel" was severely criticized and its reputation collapsed.

On the Internet and on Weibo, the soft promotional articles that LeTV Pictures spent money to promote were ripped open by countless viewers.

Real film reviews, like sharp arrows, stabbed "The Wheel" to the bottom.

The box office was 26 million on the first day and 17 million on the second day.

Pounced!

"Taiping Wheel" jumped, completely, and earth-shatteringly!

Directed by an international director, with a total investment of 400 million, six popular stars joined the cast, and the film was fully distributed online and offline, resulting in such a smashing box office trend.

Many insiders who had watched the movie were all dumbfounded and speechless.

That's it!

It’s so useless!

Major film and television companies obtained the next day's box office data, further confirming the success or failure of "The Wheel".

Zhang Zhao, CEO of the film's distributor, LeTV Pictures, frowned as he looked at the box office data of the first day and the next day of the film in his hands. It took him a long time to come up with the quintessence of Chinese culture.

Wu Baige, I am your grandma!!

The premiere boasted 1.6 billion, and 2 billion was expected, but it only took two days for the true colors to be revealed. You really deserve to die!

Zhang Zhao tore up the data sheet in his hand, picked up his cell phone and dialed Jia Yueting's number. He said with a sad and angry face: "Chairman, we have been fooled by Wu Baige."

""Taiping Wheel" crashed!"

LeTV Pictures never expected that "Peace Wheel" would only achieve such a small box office during such a hot Lunar New Year period.

43 million in two days, and at most over 100 million in the first week. If it continues to plummet later, the total box office may not even reach 300 million.

LeTV Pictures uses 800 million as a guarantee, and even the pants will be lost!

Zhang Zhao's grief and indignation were ignored by no one.

The four producers, Galloping Pony, Huayi, China Film and Wanda Pictures, all breathed a sigh of relief. The secret path is very dangerous!

At the Huayi headquarters, Wang Zhonglei looked at his brother Wang Zhongjun, who was smoking, and gloated: "Brother, LeTV swallowed a poison pill this time, and half a year's profit has been wiped out.

"Not just half a year, at least a year's profit!"

Wang Zhongjun exhaled the smoke, raised his brows, and said with a smile: "When the price was originally announced to be 800 million guaranteed, Li Ming was unwilling to do so. Chen Yu from China Film Group, Song Ge from Wanda Pictures, and I argued hard and finally advanced the plan.

Sell ​​movie releases!”

"Hey, now that Li Mingren is gone, her sister is left to support Galloping Pony. If the distribution rights of "Taiping Wheel" are not sold, Galloping Pony will go bankrupt this time alone!"

"Speaking of which, we even saved the galloping pony once!"

In his words, Wang Zhongjun seemed a bit proud, boasting about his vision and decision-making.

Imperial Capital, a five-star hotel.

Wu Baige's face was livid, the irritability and panic in his heart reached its peak, and he had an urge to destroy the world.

In the past two days, he has been paying attention to online comments, leaving footprints on Weibo, Douban, and major movie forums.

It's a mess, all negative news, no surprises,

If the box office on the first day can still be attributed to the lack of word-of-mouth fermentation, then the box office on the second day completely ended "The Wheel".

It extinguished his glass-fingered fluke!

He couldn't believe it, and he didn't want to believe it.

But the two sets of numbers on the phone screen were not fake, they were real in front of him, and he couldn't believe them.

26 million, 17 million, the extremely dazzling numbers seemed to be mocking him.

"It failed, it really failed!"

Wu Baige murmured to himself, sitting dejectedly in front of the computer, no longer as high-spirited as at the premiere ceremony.

Even when his assistant knocked on the door and called him to have lunch, he remained indifferent.

The entertainment industry will not change because of a blockbuster movie.

The Lunar New Year festival is still hot.

Another movie that attracted much attention due to its release by Hengyu Media, "The Return of the Great Sage" has continued to gain momentum.

After 429 million in three days, word-of-mouth exploded in the second week, on December 1st, December 2nd, December 3rd, and December 4th.

A total of 380 million box office was achieved in four days, and the average box office in a single day was as high as 95 million, beating all movies in the same period.

On December 5th, "The Year in a Hurry", produced by Galloping Pony and fully distributed by Galloping Pony, will be released.

It showed off as a dark horse upon its release, ranking second in the box office chart on the 5th with a high first-day box office of 61 million.

Another hit youth movie!

Galloping Horse has captured the heart of Galloping Horse twice. He sold the distribution rights of "The Wheel" to recoup the cost, and went all out to release "The Year in a Hurry", a small and ambitious film. Two correct decisions allowed Galloping Horse to stabilize its position in the turbulent times.

Speaking of which, this was the last gift given to Galloping Horse by former deputy director and production director Zhong Lifang before leaving the company.

After Li Ming's death, Zhong Lifeng hesitated for three months. Before leaving her job, she had a long talk with Ms. Li Er, whom she had not dealt with in the past, and asked her not to sell the guaranteed release of "The Year in a Hurry."

The situation at that time was that there was no hope for Pony Galloping to be listed on the market, and people within the group were in doubt.

Guangxian, Alibaba Pictures, and Tengxun Pictures offered a guarantee of 500 million for "The Year in a hurry". Miss Li Er was wavering, not knowing how to make a decision.

For Li Ming's sake, Zhong Lifang ignored the stalemate relationship with Miss Li Er and tried her best to leave "The Year in a Hurry" with Galloping Pony.

It has to be said that Chung Lifeng is indeed one of the best female producers in the industry, and she is sure that during the Lunar New Year, the audience will enjoy youth romance films such as "The Year in a Hurry".

The blockbuster hit of "The Year in a Hurry" not only stabilized the precarious pony, but also completely exposed Wu Baige's waste.

They are movies produced by the same film and television company, one with a total investment of 400 million, and the other with a total investment of less than 50 million.

In terms of cast, publicity lineup, and gimmicks, "Tai Ping Huan" all beats "That Year in a Hurry".

It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a fatal blow.

Major film and television companies and people in the film industry lamented the fate of Galloping Horses, but they also used Wu Baige as a backdrop and became a topic of conversation after dinner.

Every year there are dark horse movies that have been ignored, and the outbreak of "The Year in a Hurry" has inadvertently added a bit of excitement to the Lunar New Year movies.

In the past few years, since Fang Ziheng opened up the Spring Festival stalls, the Lunar New Year stalls have been relegated from the top spot to second place, keeping pace with the summer stalls.

This year’s Lunar New Year is particularly intense.

In addition to the popular dark horse "The Year in a Hurry", there are four more movies that have continued to attract attention from the outside world when they were first released.

The first part: Of course it’s “The Taiping Wheel” which has already hit the streets!

The second film: "The Return of the Great Sage" is controlled by Hengyu Media. There is a tacit understanding among the outside world that as long as it is a movie controlled by Hengyu Media, no matter how bad it is, it will be better than many movies.

Part Three: "One Step Away" directed by Jiang Wen.

Part 4: "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" directed by Xu Ke.

The first three movies, whether they were blockbuster hits or blockbuster hits, have been proven over time. Only the last two movies have yet to be verified.

Unlike Wu Baige, people in the industry are only hypocritically optimistic about him and do not want to refute his reputation as an international director. They are really optimistic about "One Step Away" and "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom."

After all, Jiang Wenqian had "Let the Bullets Fly", and Xu Keqian had "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" and "Di Renjie: The Dragon King of Dragon City".

The fame and appeal of these two directors are no less than any of the contracted directors of Hengyu Media except Fang Ziheng and Lao Mouzi.

Even Xu Zheng, Ning Hao, and Hao Yi, three famous directors who have entered the 1 billion box office club, are not as well-known as Jiang Wen and Xu Ke.

There is always a saying in the outside world: film is the director’s art!

In the past two decades of Chinese-language films, except for the strong-style leading actors like Uncle Long, the audience knows the name of the director of almost all the best-selling films and the most acclaimed films.
