I'm just an actor

"The best domestic historical film in history"

……

Really all good reviews.

This is not beyond everyone's expectations. After all, netizens who watched the live broadcast can probably judge that "Shadow" is a masterpiece.

In addition, the crew of "Shadow" is not short of money, so the media relations must be in place.

This wave of high word-of-mouth marketing is a matter of course.

Others in the industry are also relatively calm, because even "Pure Mind: Chasing Dreams in the Showbiz" received a lot of praise after its release.

The praise from the media is never to be trusted, what we really need to pay attention to is the word-of-mouth of the audience.

Everyone is still waiting.

Because Zhang Yimou really has full confidence in the quality of "Shadow", he doesn't believe that "Shadow" has been filmed like this, and the word of mouth will not explode.

So Zhang Yimou made a decisive decision to start small-scale screenings before the Spring Festival release, vowing to stick to the word-of-mouth route to the end.

After all, Zhang Yimou's reputation is here. He has a strong control over a play, and Yueguan and the others will not veto Zhang Yimou's proposal just because of such a trivial matter.

What's more, the quality of "Shadow" itself is worthy of Zhang Yimou's self-confidence.

So Yueguan delegated all the power to Zhang Yimou.

"Shadow" has successfully started its screening journey.

Yue Guan also ran a few screenings and communicated with the audience face to face.

He can refuse to participate in this kind of activity, but Yue Guan thinks that this kind of activity is meaningful, because his daily life is too far away from ordinary audiences, and he has to get in touch with ordinary audiences to understand them better idea.

The split between the actors and the audience is inevitable because the environments in which they live are different.But if an excellent actor wants to be loved by the audience, he cannot be completely separated from the audience, otherwise he cannot empathize with the audience.

Yueguan has always paid attention to this aspect, so he always cares about the audience's thoughts.

Fortunately, his efforts were not in vain.

His respect for the audience can be felt by the audience.

As for the quality of "Shadow", 99% of the audience's feedback is positive.

There are even many middle-aged viewers whose eyes are red after watching "Shadow".

They are not fans of Yueguan, nor Deng Chao, but fans of Guoshi.

"Director Zhang, I have liked you for 20 years. I have watched "Hero" three times."

A middle-aged male audience got up to communicate with Zhang Yimou after watching "Shadow". After hearing what this audience said, Zhang Yimou was also moved: "Thank you, thank you, thank you for your support."

"Director Zhang, I like "Hero" very much. I always feel that "Hero" did not get a fair evaluation back then. "Hero" was the best shot among those so-called blockbusters back then."

Zhang Yimou smiled: "Actually, I think so too."

Zhang Yimou said in public that "The Great Wall" was indeed badly shot, and he himself thought it was badly shot, but he never said that "Hero" was badly shot.

"After "Hero", I have watched your movies, but I don't particularly like them. "Shadow" is my favorite one in these years. After watching "Shadow", I feel that you are back to the top. Extreme colors, grand scenes, shocking pictures, and even better than "Heroes" and a good plot, "Shadow" is really well shot, showing all the advantages you are best at, awesome."

In the end, the audience couldn't control their emotions.

Deng Chao quietly asked Yueguan: "Is it someone we arranged in advance?"

Yue Guan shook his head.

"That's true fans, Director Zhang is awesome." Deng Chao said.

"It's not surprising that a director of director Zhang's level has a few true fans."

What's more, "Shadow" really made Zhang Yimou show off his skills.

The plot is indeed not Zhang Yimou's ability, this is Yueguan's.

But colors, pictures, war scenes, scene scheduling...these things all test the director's skill very much.

Zhang Yimou did a particularly good job.

It's so good that you can feel the gap between top directors and ordinary commercial film directors.

In terms of making commercial films, Zhang Yimou may not be as good as many cutting-edge young directors, but if you want to shoot such a big scene, if you recruit all those cutting-edge directors, it may not be enough for Zhang Yimou to do it alone.

Industry specializing in surgery.

Zhang Yimou is good at this.

Zhang Yimou himself was moved by this audience: "It is my success to make the audience like it. I have indeed made some unsatisfactory movies these years. I hope that my movies will not disappoint the audience in the future."

"Director Zhang, come on, after "Shadow" is officially released, I will go to the cinema to support it again. This is definitely the best domestic historical film in history."

This was not blocked by the media, but by the audience.

And this short comment ranks first in Douban's likes.

The pre-sale box office of "Shadow" is getting higher and higher day by day.

Although the Spring Festival has not yet officially arrived, "Shadow" has already shown its domineering aura.

Chapter 855 Dongshi imitates [2300 orders plus updates]

After the general trend of "Shadow" has been determined, other movies that are also scheduled for the Spring Festival are very panicked.

This year's Spring Festival file was eaten up by "Fengshen 2".

Now the word-of-mouth of "Shadow" is not much inferior to that of "Fengshen 2". Although the special effects are definitely not comparable, even if "Shadow" is only half of the box office of "Fengshen 2", it will be the same for other movies of the same schedule. is a huge threat.

What's more, with the current momentum and pre-sale box office of "Shadow", it may really be able to take the entire Spring Festival market.

If that's the case, it's horrific and a disaster for other movies.

The way to prevent this disaster from happening is also very simple:

First, withdraw the file, so that it will not be affected by "Shadow", and the price is that the resources spent on publicity will be wasted.

Second, learn from "Shadow", and hold the premiere ceremony in advance to follow the word-of-mouth route.

"Shadow" can counterattack successfully, as long as their movie quality is online, so can it.

There are people to choose from these two methods.

To Yueguan's surprise, it was not Baoqiang who ran away.

But Brother Long.

"Kung Fu Yoga" ran away, but "Havoc in Tianzhu" stayed behind.

When Yueguan learned of the result, he didn't know what to say.

Because in the previous life, the biggest winner of this Spring Festival file was Cheng Long's "Kung Fu Yoga".

Of course, this does not mean that "Kung Fu Yoga" is so good. "Kung Fu Yoga" is a very mediocre movie. There are no surprises, but there are not many disappointments. It is a very typical Cheng Long movie.

It's just that other movies in the same period were worse.

The acting skills of the actors in "Journey to the West: Volunteering the Demons" are hard to describe, and the plot is not too brilliant.

Not to mention Baoqiang's "Havoc in Tianzhu", if he hadn't been known all over the country because of his manager wearing a forgiveness hat, based on the quality of "Havoc in Tianzhu" he shot, he could be criticized by movie fans life can not take care of themselves.

It's too bad.

In this case, the peers set off too well, so "Kung Fu Yoga" just won.

I never expected that those who should not have left, and those who should have left did not.

"What's Brother Long thinking?" Yue Guan felt sorry for Brother Long.

Zhang Yimou understood Cheng Long's approach: "Cheng Long is similar to me. He has failed too many times at the box office, and he knows it in his heart. In fact, he doesn't have much box office appeal now."

Yue Guan nodded.

There is no doubt about Cheng Long's nationality and celebrity status, but it is true that he does not have much box office appeal in China.

Because Cheng Long acted in a lot of bad movies...

Going to the cinema to watch movies requires real money, and the audience cannot always support you unconditionally, even if you were once brilliant.

Not only Cheng Long, but Zhou Xingchi, who has the thickest blood among the two Mondays, was in his previous life after "The New King of Comedy". passed.

How should I put it, you have to pay it back when you come out to hang out.

In the past, you went to the altar, reached the peak, and gave countless audiences feelings, so the audience gave you honor and box office.

But when the audience feels that it’s almost done, and you still can’t come up with new things, then the audience will ignore you mercilessly.

this is the truth.

Cheng Long is old. He knows his current situation well. After all, his box office hasn't exploded for many years.

Cheng Long is not Yueguan either, so it is naturally impossible to know that the quality of this Spring Festival movie is comprehensive. Although "Kung Fu Yoga" is not a good movie, compared with other movies, it really has the fewest flaws. Qualified to lie down and win.

But Cheng Long didn't open it, so he didn't know this.

After his team evaluated the box office potential of "Shadow" and "Journey to the West: Fu Yao", they decisively decided to withdraw the files.

They all agreed that "Shadow" has become a major trend, and "Kung Fu Yoga" must not be able to do it.And "Journey to the West: Fu Yao Chapter" is a film produced by Zhou Xingchi and directed by Xu Ke. The two kings joined forces, and the box office appeal is also better than that of Cheng Long.

There is no point in persisting any longer, you will only be hanged and beaten.

Therefore, the 36 plan is the best policy.

This decision is actually reasonable in the current timeline, so Yueguan can only mourn for Brother Long in his heart.

Pity.

Zhang Yimou was not in the mood to mourn for Brother Long.

He is very serious now.

"We can't be too happy too early. "Journey to the West: The Demon" will also hold its premiere ceremony, and it will learn from us and hold a large-scale screening event. Obviously, it will match us."

"puff."

Yue Guan's saliva was intended to be sprayed on Zhang Yimou, but Zhang Yimou was old and respected after all, he was his senior, so Yue Guan forcibly turned his head and sprayed it on Deng Chao's face.

Deng Chao: "..."

MMP, no disaster.

"Yueguan, did you do it on purpose?" Deng Chao was furious.

Yue Guan hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry Brother Chao, I really didn't expect that "Journey to the West: Fu Yao Pian" would dare to go the way of some filming. Who gave them the courage? Liang Jingru?"

"They are already very strong." Zhang Yimou said solemnly: "Yueguan, don't underestimate "Journey to the West: Conquer the Demon", this movie is definitely our enemy. Zhou Xingchi's box office appeal is stronger than mine, Xu Ke He is also a well-recognized director, and with Journey to the West as the number one IP, if you weren’t in the film "Shadow", we would definitely not be the opponent of "Journey to the West: The Demons."

"Director Zhang, logically speaking, your judgment is not wrong." Yue Guan agreed with Zhang Yimou's opinion.

After all, Zhang Yimou didn't open his eyes to him like this.

But he opened his eyes.

Zhang Yimou also heard the subtext in Yueguan's words.

"There is no logical error, which means that what I said is actually wrong?"

"Well, I've read the script of "Journey to the West: Subduing the Demons." Yue Guan said.

"How is it written?"

"I can't say it's bad, but it's average, definitely not as good as "Shadow"."

The answer was not what Zhang Yimou and Deng Chao expected.

Deng Chaodao: "It's normal that the script of "Journey to the West: Volunteering the Demons" is not as good as "Shadow". After all, you wrote the script of "Shadow". important."

"As far as I know, their special effects aren't particularly good either."

Anyway, the special effects company under the name of Yueguan didn't receive the order for "Journey to the West: Demon Fighting Chapter".

Of course, these are not important.

The important thing is that the actors of "Journey to the West: Volunteering the Demon"...

Zhou Xingchi and Xu Ke are too confident in their ability to train and train actors.

And Wu Rap used practical actions to prove to them: You really can't do it.

Want to teach me to be a qualified actor?There are no doors.
