Chapter 549: Heaven sends a great responsibility to the people of Sri Lanka
Zero o'clock screenings are the shows that open at zero o'clock on the day. The total box office is called the zero o'clock box office. A high box office at zero o'clock screenings does not mean that the final box office of the film is high, nor does it mean that its quality is high.
For example, the box office of "Painted Skin 2" at midnight was over 6 million, which was more than twice that of "Earthquake". However, the total box office of the two was about the same, and their ratings were completely different.
However, the zero-hour box office still represents some kind of positive signal.
The zero-point box office of "1942" came out earlier than that of "Twelve Zodiac Signs", which was almost over 3 million. According to the above logic, the box office of "1942" is likely to be beaten by "Twelve Zodiac Signs"... But it can't be downloaded immediately yet
Conclusion, because disaster movies may stay on the list for longer, eventually leading to a situation where the total box office exceeds this situation.
Theaters usually give one day to observe and adjust the film schedule if it really doesn't work.
Fang Yi certainly knows the above facts, so even though the movie is now quite successful, he still keeps a low profile. The media is straightforward and wants him to speak harshly about "1942" next door:
"Huayi's temporary reduction in share can be seen as a betrayal of its identity as a producer... Director Fang, you are also the boss and the pillar of our domestic film industry. How do you evaluate Huayi's behavior?"
Fang Yi shrugged: "It doesn't matter how I evaluate it, it has happened."
"Then what do you have to teach your fans?"
"Do the right thing, do the right thing."
The fans below took this as a tactful criticism of Huayi, and immediately became angry and applauded vigorously. Interspersed among them were some very excited film critics or movie lovers, showing expressions of incomprehension. Apparently they wanted Director Fang to be more aggressive.
Some.
The reporter changed the target again and gave the microphone to the eldest brother Cheng. The eldest brother Cheng already knew the box office of the midnight show and felt that he could use his words: "I think what Fang Yi said is not strong enough and not thorough enough... I will express my opinion here, that is, from Feng Yi
Since the director cooperated with the cut of the profit margin, he is no longer a very good and well-respected filmmaker, even if he has a great box office today...he is not that anymore, and I will not recognize him from today on!"
Of course the reporter was excited and asked repeatedly: "Brother, what do you have to say?"
"Why am I praised as a big brother? Because I am older? Or because I am too domineering... You can understand, what have I done for Hong Kong and Chinese movies? What have I worked hard on the social level... Now
Let me talk about this, not to praise myself today, but to compare Fang Yi with Director Feng or Huayi. Regardless of seniority, who do you think is more like the eldest brother? Who would you like to recognize as your eldest brother? "
"Of course I am... of course I am..."
The reporter thought about it:
Why does Feng Dapao have to make thankless movies? Because he has to improve his status. He wants to have a movie like "Farewell My Concubine" and "Alive" to make up for his shortcomings and make him famous again.
You can't look down on him, he will become a great director in all aspects.
You have been trying your best to integrate into various circles all your life, but now things have gone exactly the opposite way - if you pee in the pot, how can you expect the person holding the bowl to recognize you?
The eldest brother’s values are too down-to-earth, and other things he says are down-to-earth.
Han Sanping felt that it was inappropriate for a group of cultural people to be in the "Big Brother", so he helped him polish it up: "Those who wholeheartedly work for everyone's welfare are better filmmakers... Those who destroy this tacit understanding may not get the best results."
Everyone respects it.”
Someone else asked, "Mr. Han, do you agree with what the elder brother said? Who is the real elder brother?"
Han Sanping rubbed his hands and winked at Fang Yi, causing most people to look at Fang Yi.
Then Han Sanping said slowly: "History pushed us to a certain position, that point in time, that opportunity... subsequent evaluations are not based on words, but on actions."
——When the news reached Feng Dapao, Lao Feng was so angry that he suffered from vitiligo.
Feng Dapao is a stress monster, and this old problem tortures him very much. He gets it when he is in a hurry while filming a movie, and he also gets it when he drinks. This time, he was so embarrassed that it certainly got worse.
Because there were more than a dozen road shows ahead, I had to be sent to the hospital for hormone injections to suppress the problem first.
Less than half a day after the zero-hour box office of "Twelve Zodiac Signs" came out, the reviews of Han Sanping and Big Brother Cheng also just came out. By now, Director Feng has understood the cost of his operation. He is using his reputation as a bet, and his chances of winning in the last show are getting better and better.
Come smaller and smaller duels.
Damn it, why did he lose his head at that time?
Before taking hormones, he had a conversation with his wife Xu Fan:
"Do I have no chance?"
Does he still have a chance to talk about being an "upright and all-around great director"?
Xu Fan said: "You have a box office of more than 3 million, and the box office at the on-demand screening is not bad...why don't you have a chance? Things haven't failed yet, and this is only the first day."
"But, I feel like I can't win the photo."
How to win?
An attendance rate of less than 50%, or a box office that barely exceeded 10 million in the first half of the day? At the same time, the people next door were constantly posting messages celebrating "breaking 20 million", "30 million", and "40 million"?
This is the first day!
Later, when the opponent's lineup came up, the difference could only be even greater.
The words were a bit bitter. Xu Fan was silent for a while and replied: "...Now there is only one way to get to the dark side."
Feng Dapao nodded and said nothing.
He has such a character that he will not give up until he reaches the Yellow River, and will not leave the table until he loses the last chip.
A sweetheart.
——Advancing to the ward, Xu Fan encouraged him: "American medicine! Give it a shot and it will improve. Wear a baseball cap and no one will be able to tell... Your face is tender."
Feng Dapao continued not to speak.
Xu Fan: "Reducing the commission~ It's a normal business operation. You are the director, you can only cooperate with the company...Who can say it was your idea? No one can blame you."
Feng Dapao still didn't speak.
The injection was pushed in and he stayed there for twenty minutes, which was enough for the observation period. During this period, Xu Fan kept talking and Feng Dapao didn't speak.
The doctor informed him that he could leave, so Xu Fan immediately looked at his face and said: "The effect is so good, I can't even see it now..." He helped him get dressed, and then Xu Fan answered the phone and started getting dressed.
Let your assistant do this for you.
The assistant was not working quickly and put on the wrong sleeves. Director Feng seized the opportunity and vented: "Can you do things? If you can't do things, leave as soon as possible! You don't have a work attitude!"
It’s not that brothers can’t do it! It’s not that brothers don’t work hard! It’s that when times come and heaven and earth work together, heroes are not free when they are gone! Even the little assistant has fallen behind.
If I really lose, I will definitely lose... I have to blame Huayi, the film industry, and the fans for this - they don't deserve it!
Oops! I am the hero who got into the wrong arena, and I am helpless.
Let's vent, which made Director Feng feel better and regain some confidence. Then he put on the mask and baseball cap, stood in front of the mirror, and couldn't see anything wrong at all - Director Feng regained his confidence and felt good.

But she saw Xu Fan's nose was red and his face was blue. He was holding a mobile phone in his hand. The screen was black. She got the latest news and turned it off.
