Galaxy Era and Huang Jingkun have become the laughing stock of the entire Internet in just one day.
As the movie's reputation plummeted, and almost everyone praised it as a bad movie, Galaxy Era's box office also plummeted. The next day's box office dropped by more than 50 million to only more than 70 million. This seems to be too
Quite a lot, but you have to know that the box office of it was 120 million the day before, and this was only the second day of release.
Although this kind of box office was expected by everyone, but it really fell to this point, everyone was still very surprised. The movie Galaxy Era has an investment of nearly 600 million, and there are also two domestic celebrities, Li Fang and Xie Lun.
Big stars, especially Li Fang, are among the top domestic actresses. The movies she stars in are rarely said to be bad, and they are guaranteed to be successful at the box office. As a result, this
This time is obviously in danger of a Waterloo. If it fell so much on the second day, it will only fall even more on the third day.
This made the investors, producers, and distributors of Galaxy Era panic. They had previously expected the box office of this science fiction blockbuster to be at least 1.5 billion, although now it has grossed nearly 200 million within two days of its release.
But they really don't have much confidence in the subsequent box office.
Investors and distributors put pressure on Huang Jingkun to find a way to solve this matter as soon as possible. Huang Jingkun had no choice but to post another Weibo post in the early morning to defend his film under pressure from all parties.
.
"The movie Galaxy Era does have some mistakes and omissions, but the flaws cannot be concealed. It cannot be denied that it is a good movie. It is also a pioneering science fiction movie. I hope everyone can give this movie a thumbs up and support our domestic production.
A little tolerance and support for movies, support our domestic movies, support our domestic science fiction movies, so that our domestic movies will get better and better."
When he posted this Weibo, celebrities such as Li Fang and Xie Lun also retweeted it. This undoubtedly shows that he still has great influence in the circle, but most netizens or movie audiences do not buy it. Many.
Netizens have expressed their own comments and opinions on this.
"It's okay to support domestic movies and science fiction movies, but that doesn't mean you have to support bad movies. So I don't support bad domestic movies like Galaxy Era."
"The film Galaxy Era has not just a few mistakes, but everything from script to shooting. How can I support you?"
"You still have the nerve to let us support a movie like this. I can only say that you are really thick-skinned."
"The audience doesn't like it. That's because they really don't like it. That's why Galaxy Era invested 600 million in a so-called science fiction blockbuster. People don't like it and the box office plummets. It's not the audience's problem, but the movie's problem. We support good domestic movies.
, but we don’t support domestic bad movies.”
"Huang Jingkun, I think you should reflect on yourself and review yourself. Stop trying to defend this bad movie you made. I won't watch such a bad movie."
Obviously, Huang Jingkun's Weibo post to defend and ask for support did not have much effect, and most netizens did not buy it.
Therefore, on the third day, the box office of Galaxy Era continued to fall, and it has dropped to more than 40 million. This box office is not bad compared to other domestic movies, but after all, it has only been released for three days. As a result, the box office on the third day was only the third day.
One day is 1/3. This explains the problem very much.
Under this situation, major movie theaters have reduced the number of screenings of Galaxy Era. This undoubtedly makes things worse. At the same time, the box office of Chen Feng's movie, The Man from Earth, has rebounded slightly.
Half a month later, the cumulative box office has reached 630 million. According to this trend, it seems that it is certain to exceed 1 billion within a month.
The Man from Earth's box office rebounded, thanks to the box office decline of Galaxy Era and the current trend of people on the Internet joking about Galaxy Era. Chen Feng, the initiator of this trend, is obviously one of the beneficiaries. Many people used to
I don’t plan to go to the cinema to watch The Man from Earth. It is precisely because of Chen Feng’s criticism and exposure of Galaxy Era that many people know about him and become interested in him, and thus also in his movies.
.
On this day, Chen Feng received an interview request. The other party was the National Youth Daily, one of the top media outlets in the country.
Chen Feng is only 23 years old, so he is obviously a young man, so it is very appropriate for the Youth Daily to interview him. Other tabloids and small media outlets, Chen Feng, do not intend to accept interviews, but for a national media such as the Youth Daily, Chen Feng really has to accept the interview.
, maybe because of his reports, the box office of his movie will rebound slightly, or it may slow down the downward trend of the box office.
Chen Feng received the group of people interviewed by Youth Daily in the conference room of Summit Entertainment. The two parties went very smoothly and the interview ended in almost an hour.
The other party was very efficient. On the second day after the interview, the Youth Daily saw Chen Feng's report. The title was "The new generation of young director Chen Feng has gone from a resident singer in a bar to a box office hit director."
The report of this article is relatively fair. It mainly tells the story of Chen Feng, a young man with a grassroots background. He came to the capital to work three years ago. He started from scratch and worked hard step by step. Now he has become a blockbuster director with a box office of over 600 million.
.
Overall, this report is very inspiring and inspiring. It also positively portrays Chen Feng as a young idol who started from scratch and succeeded through his own hard work and talent.
At the same time, starting from this report, Chen Feng, a singer and director with a grassroots background, has been officially accepted by the public, and is no longer the unpopular Internet singer before. After all, the movie that is about to exceed 1 billion is from his hands, and no one can
Ignore this.
This is undoubtedly a very good news and signal for Chen Feng, but for Huang Jingfeng, it is a bad news. He was originally looking for someone to discredit Chen Feng in the traditional media. As a result, Youth Daily
Once this positive report comes out, if those tabloids continue to smear it, it will obviously not be enough and will not be effective. On the contrary, it may also cause dissatisfaction from the Youth Daily.
On the second day after the report came out, Chen Feng once again received an interview invitation, this time from Film Weekly, which is an authoritative magazine in the domestic film industry. The organizer behind him is the Film Association, which can also be said to be the official body of the association.
The media still has a relatively large influence in domestic circles, and it is not easy to refuse here.
It was natural for Film Weekly to find Chen Feng for an interview. After all, Chen Feng's "This Man is from the Earth" is now the best-selling domestic film. So even though he had an enmity with Huang Jingkun before, Film Weekly was only a few days late.
Time to come and interview him.
From this point of view, Huang Jingkun is not a single-handed man in the film industry. Not to mention that he is now criticized for being a bad movie because of Galaxy Era, and his reputation and prestige have been damaged. Even in his heyday, he would not have been able to dominate the film industry.
If you can cover the sky with one hand, the most you can do is know more people and have more connections.
But it is still difficult to completely block a rising peer like Chen Feng. First of all, the film industry has a big plate, and it is impossible for him to eat it alone. No matter how good your relationship is, you can only follow industry rules and
Market rules apply. What’s more important is that the audience has to buy into it. Otherwise, no one will buy a ticket to see your movie once it’s made, even if those theaters show your movie 24 hours a day, it’s all in vain.
Secondly, the film industry is a place where capital is mixed. What kind of person the capital here likes most is undoubtedly a director like Chen Feng who can make blockbuster movies. Especially Chen Feng, who made a fortune this time with an investment of less than one million, is destined to
To achieve a box office of over 1 billion, which investor would not be jealous or envious, and would not regard Chen Feng as a fragrant steamed bun.
In addition, Huang Jingkun's "Galaxy Age" has turned into a bad movie. In this situation, he has said in the film industry that he will ban Chen Feng. It is really a fool's errand.
