Chapter 67 If you don't cherish it, I can't help it!
"Buried Alive" continues to gain popularity on the Internet, even occupying the praise lists of major film review websites. In less than a day, it rushed to the top of the list, behind "Enemies", "Metro Station" and "Battle Night".
The movie's critical acclaim isn't much different either...
Insiders knew immediately upon seeing it that "Buried Alive" would be as popular as these three movies in terms of word-of-mouth reputation, and would most likely become the number one new film in the critical acclaim list.
Major forums and major media began to take notice of this low-budget film. One after another, some media dedicated a minute or so to objectively evaluate "Buried Alive". These evaluations made netizens very satisfied.
For the first time, I feel that the media is not mindlessly blowing up those so-called blockbusters, and for the first time, it is on the side of justice...
Of course, there are also those who criticize "Buried Alive"...
"What? You said the quality of this movie is good? Are you kidding? Did you see the big characters of Lu Yuan at the beginning? What is this going to do? Is it going to occupy the entire screen?"
"And this advertisement, oh my god, can your advertisement be better? Is it so deceiving?"
"What kind of clip is this? This is bullshit, okay!"
"I don't comment on the quality of the plot, but the editing and those particularly ugly director characters made me vomit after reading it!"
"Brother, that's not how you save money. Do you dare to spend more money to make it better?"
"Breaking news! Originally, the investment for "Buried Alive" was one million, but director Lu Yuan withheld 800,000 privately. As a result, the initial publicity and prologue production were simply a piece of shit!"
"I don't deny that this movie is a good movie worth watching, but... ugh... it's disgusting!"
"Yeah, I'm disgusted too... Lu Yuan... can you take the photo more seriously? Let's not save this money, okay? In the worst case, I'll pay for it for you!"
"This is not important. What's more important is that because there is no publicity, other theaters don't care at all. Only Tianhe Theater is willing to broadcast this movie. I think director Lu Yuan will bear the brunt of the blame!"
"Yes, Lu Yuan, are you going to ruin our Chinese movies?"
"Trash Lu Yuan, go eat!"
"So talented, yet so stingy, Lu Yuan! Trash!"
"Lu Yuan, can you stop doing some sexy things and let us concentrate on the movie?"
"He is truly the most speechless director I have ever seen. He is probably the only one in China..."
…………………………
"Ayuan, you are famous again..."
"What?"
"Look at what's said about you online."
"oh."
"How about it?"
"..."
Fatty Wei turned the computer monitor to Lu Yuan's side with complicated eyes.
Lu Yuan looked at the web page...
There is no doubt that "Buried Alive" has been well received, but behind the good reviews, they are all criticizing Lu Yuan. All kinds of unpleasant words are spat on him, as if Lu Yuan is a scum of the new century and a shame in the director world.
The object of everyone's contempt...
Deep love and deep responsibility. The more fans like "Buried Alive", the more they feel that director Lu Yuan is rubbish. In addition, who knows who broke the news about the investment, the more angry these fans are.
They think "Buried Alive" is a movie above the standard, provided that the prologue is not so bad!
Take a look?
What is this prologue?
What level of font introduction is this?
What kind of advertisement is this?
What kind of garbage is this?
It's simply worse than the domestic blockbusters.
Lu Yuan was speechless when he saw the whole scolding.
I even feel like I'm being criticized for being autistic...
Deduction of 800,000?
Damn it, I obviously deducted 200,000 yuan...
To be specific, there are only 210,000!
"What's going on with these people..." Lu Yuan closed his eyes.
"Ayuan... you'd better wear a mask when you go out now..."
"Why?"
"I'm afraid you will be beaten by unknown fans..."
"..."
Fatty Wei was gloating about his misfortune when he said this.
He suddenly felt very happy.
The movie was a big hit, so he was naturally excited. At the same time, seeing Lu Yuan being trolled like this on the Internet, he felt a little comfortable inexplicably.
Who made Lu Yuan so deductible?
"Wait a minute, you broke the news about this real investment?"
"Shit! Of course not!"
"Who is that..."
"Brother, it's not a secret how much money was invested in the movie. How much was used there? The crew's finances have been recorded..."
"..." Lu Yuan looked at Fatty Wei.
For a moment, he didn't know how to refute.
That's right...
Seems to make sense?
etc!
Do you really need to wear a mask when going out?
…………………………
Lu Yuan was indeed the first to be sprayed badly.
The second ones to be trolled were the two theater chains Tianqin and Wanjia...
After all, "Buried Alive" can't be seen in these two cinemas!
A movie with such a good reputation cannot be seen?
Why are the leaders of this theater chain not blind?
So shouldn’t these two first-tier cinemas be criticized?
Squirt, squirt hard!
Although you can go to Tianhe to see it, but...
As the word-of-mouth on the Internet has exploded, the pre-sale tickets were sold out as soon as they came out. Look, it’s crazy!
Even if Tianhe adjusts the film schedule and makes "Buried Alive" the most important film in the film schedule, it will still be of no use...
After all, Tianhe is only a second-tier theater chain, not widely distributed, and there are not many offline theaters. Even if it is crowded for a day, it will only have such a small space.
You mean standing vote?
You should take the bus!
Aren't you tired of being surrounded by a bunch of people?
Why didn't you say hang up the ticket?
Wouldn't it be better to hang and watch?
So 4 million box office is completely saturated to the extreme...
People who can't buy tickets and can't wait to watch the pirated version will naturally have their grievances to vent.
People who have watched the movie can vent their grievances towards Lu Yuan, but what about those who can’t see it?
The venting of grievances started to feel inappropriate...
In short, spray it with two words!
They accuse these two theater chains of being so ignorant that they even put the blame for bad movies on the two theater lines, making them bear the burden...
Therefore, on the afternoon of the second day after the premiere, Liu Hong, the boss of Tianqin Cinema, couldn't sit still. On the one hand, he was criticized, but on the other hand, Liu Hong was a businessman after all. With the popularity of "Buried Alive" day by day,
Increased height, he saw a lot of money from "Buried Alive"!
After severely reprimanding the publicity and marketing departments the next evening, he called Wang Yaohua and admitted that he was blind and that he had indeed made a mistake. In short, he had only one purpose, which was to sell this movie
Copy to Tianqin for broadcast...
Wang Yaohua just smiled faintly at this.
There is a feeling of slap in the face.
But then he shook his head and refused.
"Lu Yuan signed a contract with our Tianhe, so our "Buried Alive" is exclusive to us, but whether to divide it up or not depends on Lu Yuan and my daughter. After all, one is the director and screenwriter, and the other is the investor...
"
"Old Wang, stop being so pretentious, just tell me, how much is the share?"
"Haha, it doesn't matter what I said..."
"Old Wang, the movie is a big hit. It's good for you and me. Everyone can make money, isn't it? Moreover, the scale of your theater chain is only so small, and you can't separate the scale in the short term. Why do you have to insist on this? Don't
So rigid, Lao Wang, now is the era of cooperation!"
"Haha, this is not a question of money, this is a question of respect and disrespect. I am just the owner of a theater chain, and I am too old to compete with the younger generation for the initiative."
"So what do you mean?"
"You can discuss it with them. If they think it's okay, then I have no problem. In fact...hey, let's not talk about it..."
"Actually, what, why do you just say half a sentence?"
"Actually, they came to you first, hoping to cooperate with you... If you don't cherish it, there's nothing I can do about it!"
"..."
……………………
"Lao Wang? I am Wanjia's Lao Li..."
"What? You don't agree? We have no friendship?"
"You are no longer interested..."
“If we have money, why don’t we all make it together?”
"What? Is this happening? This movie ran away from me?"
"Oh my God, what kind of pure donkey and Trojan horse do I have? It's really... telling them to make their eyes brighter... but they won't listen!"
