Cross the road of the director

In August, "Taozu Hongjun" and "Alive" have been released for eight days.

A new week, a new movie is coming.Facing the impact of new movies, "Taozu Hongjun" stabilized the market, and won the third place in the single-day box office with 400 million box office.Compared with the activity of "Taozu Hongjun", "To Live" can be said to be squeezed to the edge without any counterattack.

These days, in order to restore the box office decline of "To Live", Mo Feiyang and Dong Yuan used the "Venice Best Film Nomination" as a last-ditch publicity stunt.

Twitter is the main battlefield, hot searches follow one after another, and widely advertised.Soon, the news that "Alive" was selected for the Venice International Film Festival spread all over the Internet, which shocked netizens.

As one of the three major film festivals, the gold content of the Venice International Film Festival is self-evident.

After hearing the news, many people became curious about this selected work, and correspondingly, the box office of "To Live" also increased a little.

Among this group of new audiences, more than half are true movie fans, and even amateur film critics who like to study masterpieces.These people are not very active on Twitter, but they have a certain number of like-minded fans in the Tomato community.

Because they love movies, they had high expectations for "To Live", but after going to the theater to watch it in person, they were all disappointed.

Among them, Cheng Zi, who has the largest number of fans in the Tomato community, posted a film review, and his speech was full of regrets for "Alive". In addition, he also carefully analyzed the acting skills of the leading actors, Mo Feiyang's camera language, etc. In the end, he severely criticized Yu Zihao's acting skills With the scene, emotionally claiming that he is the mouse that ruined a pot of soup|shit.

This kind of film review has won the support of many fellow fans, and even passers-by couldn't help but praise him.

In just half a day, this film review got [-] likes, and it also attracted a siege from Yu Zihao's fans.In an instant, the Tomato community became a battlefield, and Cheng Zi was judged from beginning to end by fans.Seeing this, Chengzi simply released all the contents of the fan's private message and let other netizens watch.

In this way, the two sides quarreled back and forth.

These days, Mo Feiyang has been guarding, and went to look at the relevant data of "To Live" when he had nothing to do.Facing this scolding war, he had no choice but to let it develop.

Different from "To Live" which is torn up and forced when nothing happens, "Taozu Hongjun" is lively and enjoyable, and the fans all support Director Zhao Yonglin.

As an animated film, the audience of "Taozu Hongjun" is always there.It may not be able to rake in [-] million box office in a single day like a big production, but it can be tepid, and the route of boiling frogs in warm water is stable in the top five.

It is not difficult for passers-by to choose between a controversial literary film and the other a family-friendly animation film suitable for men, women and children.

Mo Feiyang watched helplessly as the box office of "Taozu Hongjun" and "To Live" got closer and closer.

... Is he going to be surpassed by an animated movie?

Just when Mo Feiyang was worried, news came from the cinema that "To Live" would be released soon.At the same time, what made him unacceptable was the official news that "Taozu Hongjun" had obtained the extension key.If there is no accident, "Taozu Hongjun" can be released until late September.

September?

...An animated movie can be released for fifty days?

This news was not only difficult for Mo Feiyang to accept, even the major film and television companies couldn't help but be amazed by the performance of "Tao Zu Hongjun".

— After all, this is an animated movie!

Therefore, under the attention of people in the industry, "Taozu Hongjun" has steadily harvested the box office at a steady speed.Professionals predict that the box office of "Taozu Hongjun" will probably reach about one billion when it is released.

Billion box office?

Now in 2025, there are very few movies in China with a box office of more than one billion.Since the beginning of the year, there have been only four films, of which there is only one domestic film, and "Tao Zu Hongjun" may be the fifth.

Everyone does not know whether "Taozu Hongjun" can break through one billion, but what is certain is that it has this potential.Just like this, people in the industry and investors have shifted their attention to animated films.

It is conceivable that after "Taozu Hongjun", there will inevitably be a batch of animated films in the future.The opportunity for the rise of Chinese animation films has finally arrived.

Outsiders have praised director Zhao Yonglin's persistence, praised the excellence of "Taozu Hongjun", and looked forward to the future of Chinese animation films.

This August, even Mo Feiyang's participation in the Venice International Film Festival with his work "To Live" was just a small splash, and only a few people paid attention to it.

"Mo Dao, your work is excellent, and you will definitely win an award."

Bai Yao wore a dark blue dress, smiling, comforting Mo Feiyang in a low voice.

Mo Feiyang responded casually, and with a stiff expression, he cooperated with Bai Yao and Zhang Zhenyuan to take pictures together.

In the face of the reporters taking pictures and flashing lights one after another, Bai Yao was graceful, elegant and dignified, while Zhang Zhenyuan was even more handsome and handsome.In contrast, Mo Feiyang, the director, seemed a little absent-minded.

Until the end of the red carpet, Bai Yao still maintained a slight smile on her face.Zhang Zhenyuan and her looked at each other, and looked away together, Bai Yao even closed her eyes to adjust her mood.

Damn, with such a rare opportunity, is Mo Feiyang crazy?This is the Venice Film Festival!They came here by their work!Rare honor, what is Mo Feiyang's state?

At this moment, Bai Yao was full of resentment towards Mo Feiyang, and she didn't want to call him a director anymore.

That's right, ever since he got the nomination, Mo Feiyang's focus was on the box office, and he didn't have any communication with the hero and heroine at all.

During this period of time, he never explained anything about Yu Zihao.It was rare to come to Venice, and he was also absent-minded and perfunctory, as if he had suffered a huge blow.Even walking the red carpet is nothing more than tangible.

We should be glad that Dongyuan sent someone to prepare for Mo Feiyang, otherwise the situation would only get worse when he was in a normal appearance and depressed.

Bai Yao was angry in her heart, and she treated Mo Feiyang as well as Yu Zihao.

You must know that a literary film like "To Live" has won a box office of 8.71 million, which is also a rare achievement in the world.

She didn't understand, what is Mo Feiyang not satisfied with such a high box office?What's even more irritating is that both she and Zhang Zhenyuan suffered a lot of grievances for the box office, but the director who attended the film festival still put on this expression?

Heh, it's a bet, right?With your mental quality, it's perfectly normal to lose the bet!

Relying on strong willpower, Bai Yao suppressed her anger, and maintained her demeanor as a female star to accompany Mo Feiyang and the others to act together.At this time, she was extraordinarily gentle, but she was determined in her heart that she would never cooperate with Mo Feiyang again.

On this day, Mo Feiyang was restless and could only maintain superficial politeness.On the contrary, Bai Yao and the others relied on the people arranged by Dongyuan to get in touch with overseas filmmakers and expand their social circle.

On the second day, Mo Feiyang's spirit improved a lot, and he was in the mood to take people to other venues to watch other directors' excellent works.

It was on this day that Lu Jue released the news that "The Unique Him" ​​is scheduled to be released on September 9, and it will participate in the national day battle with a series of masterpieces such as "The Legend of the White Fox".

After hearing the news, Mo Feiyang was in a bad mood.

National Day file?

As we all know, the National Day file has the blessing of a small holiday. Last year, the box office exceeded 15 billion.That's a weekly box office of 15 billion! !This year, the number of domestic screens has increased significantly, and the overall box office trend is increasing. If Lu Jue's film can withstand the impact of such a big production as "The Legend of the White Fox", it is no problem to earn a total box office of [-] million.

No, don't worry!The competition for the National Day file was fierce, and a new director like Lu Jue couldn't please him.Mo Feiyang suppressed his irritability and recalled carefully.

Damn it, National Day!national day!What other works are also National Day files?

Baiyun Film and Television has been in preparation for three years, with an investment of [-] million for the fantasy film "White Fox"; Chaoyu Films invested [-] million and took a year for the police film "Heroes of the Dark Ages"; Red Star Entertainment's annual gift film "Jianguo" That Year"; Huanxi Culture's comedy "Back to the Past to Save Dad"...

Don't worry about small fish and shrimps, others such as "The Legend of the White Fox" and "Two Heroes" are not easy to mess with.Compared with them, Lu Jue's small fresh movie is like a toddler who has just walked, weak and bullying.In this case, it is not easy to get good resources.The National Day file may be an opportunity, or it may be a dead end.At that time, Dongyuan will operate again, and it is possible to be eliminated directly.

There is a way to heaven if you don't go, but there is no way to hell you rush in.

Thinking of this, Mo Feiyang calmed down and had some thoughts in his mind.

People, fear the unknown.

For Mo Feiyang, Lu Jue's delay in making a decision made him think and worry.Now that the release date has been confirmed, the next thing is the competition of strength.

Mo Feiyang had a good idea in his heart, and when he participated in the film festival, he was full of ambitions, and his whole state was different.He also has a caring heart for Bai Yao and others.

However, it was too late for Bai Yao to be considerate at this time.

China.

Just as Mo Feiyang expected, the investors who were scheduled for the National Day made moves one after another.The hot searches on Twitter and the advertisements on major platforms are also continuous.

Among them, "The Legend of the White Fox" and "Twin Heroes" are the most popular. Subway cars, newspapers and magazines, Twitter hot searches... Everywhere is pervasive and eye-catching.

In contrast, Lu Jue's "The Unique Him" ​​released two or three trailers and various tidbits in succession, but still failed to attract much attention.

So, he set his sights on Black Dou.com.

This period is exactly the period when the UP owners of the black bean network have large-scale meals.

Regarding Qiafan, fans once had arguments, but finally accepted the fact.But everyone accepts it, but it doesn't mean you can do whatever you want.

Half a month ago, a certain UP owner with millions of followers released ten videos in two days in a row in order to make a meal.

Everyone pays attention to the UP owner because of their love and like-mindedness. However, the video originally made for love has become a business meal, and the UP owner's position has also changed because of Party A's father.

The video quality is good, everyone is happy to see the results, and will not say much.But this one is good, the copywriting is rubbish, the remarks that slap the past, and the advertisements that are not interesting at all, who would like it?

As a result, other UP owners were also implicated, and some UP owners even made a video to condemn this person. For a while, Heidou.com was full of excitement.

Brother Xuan said about the movie, that is, Song Xuan has been stationed in Heidou.com for two years, and his fans are still not as good as Twitter, but only 30.

For Qiafan, Twitter has already formed a routine. On the contrary, Heidou.com has all kinds of them. If one is not good, it will attract fans to rebound.

As an amateur film critic, Song Xuan is not very good at making videos, and most of the videos he publishes are film analysis and the like.In short, the topic is too lofty and the content is too long to attract ordinary audiences.

Because of this, he seldom has a good meal on Heidou.com, so this incident has nothing to do with him.

After all, the earning power of the UP owners of Heidou.com is really inferior to that of Twitter, so it's no wonder Song Xuan doesn't care.However, Lu Jue came to the door and asked him to make a video to promote his own movie by name.

Song Xuan: "???"

Lu Jue: 【Can you accept this advertisement? 】

Looking at the text on the computer screen, Song Xuan woke up.He agreed to Lu Jue's request without any hesitation, and at the same time promised that he would help him promote it on Twitter.

Lu Jue: [I'm not worried about tweeting, but your video quality is not good enough. 】

Song Xuan: […]

Facing the patron's dislike, Song Xuan felt overwhelmed, but he had no reason to refute.After all, his video hits are indeed inferior to others.

Lu Jue: [Let me give you some advice.If the video is Amway, you can make an inventory to the video...]

In the past, Song Xuan was only interested in video commentary and video Amway, and only did it when he thought about it.Because of this, he always thinks of what to say, and rarely polishes it carefully.But for Lu Jue, the video copywriting became the focus, and the commentary became unusual.

Video inventory?It seems to be interesting.

The author has something to say: The fighting during the National Day file was extremely fierce.

A Jue decided to find another way, film and television inventory really pass the time, there is no film and television inventory in this world yet.
