This director only makes bad movies

A hotel.

Zhang Yange and the crew are waiting for the box office results on the first day.

The atmosphere at the scene was relatively relaxed, and the actors were all chatting.

"The feedback from the audience has been pretty good."

"Yes, especially at the premiere, all the guests were praising it."

"I heard that the movie attendance rate is also quite high. I feel that the box office of this movie will not be low."

"If the follow-up publicity keeps up, this movie may break records."

Zhang Yange is also in a good mood. Although in his opinion, the movie "The Great Wall" has a few shortcomings, the quality is definitely passable, and with this lineup and strong publicity, there is no way it will have a low box office.

The only suspense is whether this movie can break the box office record.

At this moment, his secretary hurried over.

Zhang Yange immediately asked: "How much is the box office?"

The assistant said: "One hundred and sixty-five million. Our first-day box office was one hundred and sixty-five million."

"The director broke the single-day box office record."

Zhang Yange immediately smiled.

Although he had already expected this result, when he heard this number, his mood couldn't help but soar.

The cast members all laughed.

"really."

"I knew the box office would never be low, but I didn't expect it to be so high."

"It broke the box office record on the first day, and the National Day lasted for seven days."

"When word-of-mouth picks up, I estimate that the movie's single-day box office may break a record."

“This movie’s total box office will break records.”

Everyone is happy and the movie is a box office hit, which is good for everyone involved.

Zhang Yange was also very happy and said: "Don't be too happy, everyone. This is only the first day, so you can't relax. The next few days will be a critical time for publicity. Everyone, please persevere. When the movie is released, I will tell everyone Red envelopes."

"good."

Everyone got excited.

After these people went back to their rooms to sleep, the secretary handed a stack of documents to Zhang Yange.

This is detailed information gathered to give directors and producers a comprehensive understanding of the film.

Looking at it, Zhang Yange frowned: "There are a lot of controversial voices in "The Great Wall."

Judging from the current situation, the box office performance of "The Great Wall" is unparalleled during the National Day period, but its reputation is somewhat problematic. Many people who have watched the movie have complained online.

This is a bit different from what he imagined. In Zhang Yange's imagination, the audience should be shocked to the core after watching the movie, turning into running water and praising it crazily. Why are there so many people complaining about it?

The movie has some minor issues, but the special effects are excellent and the scenes are grand. It is definitely a masterpiece of domestic movies. Why is the audience feedback so average?

The producer next to him said: "Normally, everyone has their own preferences. If some people like a movie, some people will not like it. As long as the box office trend is okay, that's fine."

Zhang Yange nodded slightly.

Audience feedback is that nothing can be seen yet, and it will take a few days to see clearly.

The producer advised again: "Director Zhang, you should take a rest as well. You still have to do promotional work tomorrow."

Zhang Yange nodded.

Just when he was about to take a rest, he suddenly remembered something: "By the way, how much is the box office of Xu Nan's "The Beginning"."

Zhang Yange had very complicated emotions towards this guy Xu Nan, like a licking dog facing a goddess who comes back to find an honest man.

Therefore, he especially wanted to know how much box office Xu Nan's new movie had.

The secretary immediately replied: "Close to 20 million."

"Oh." Zhang Yange nodded slightly and asked, "What about the audience's feedback?"

Secretary: "Currently, the audience generally responds favorably to this movie, and the reviews are very high."

Zhang Yange immediately pouted: "That's nonsense. If Xu Nan's movie can get any good reviews, it must be due to brushing up."

Xu Nan's film is generally well received!

Are you kidding me?

Anyway, Zhang Yange definitely didn't believe that Xu Nan could make a good movie.

The next day, the box office results for the first day of the National Day season were announced, and the media began to report on it.

"The box office on the first day was 165 million, Zhang Yange broke the single-day box office record. 》

"The power of the national master is so terrifying. 》

"The Great Wall is shocked, Zhang Yange aims at the box office record." 》

"Industry Experts: The Great Wall's box office is likely to reach 3 billion. 》

"The Great Wall, the Light of Domestic Films." 》

"Exclusive interview with the staff of the Great Wall crew, how the most powerful domestic film is shot." 》

The media began to brag wildly about the movie "The Great Wall", praising the movie to the highest standards in the sky and nowhere on earth. It is natural to break the box office record, and 3 billion is not impossible.

As for Xu Nan's "The Beginning", it was simply forgotten by the media, as if it was not their fault that "The Great Wall" and "The Beginning" were competing against each other a few days ago.

The industry was also shocked by the first-day box office of "The Great Wall".

"One hundred and sixty-five million, another new record."

"I knew "The Great Wall" would be very intense, but I didn't expect it to be so intense."

“Isn’t this movie really going to break 3 billion?”

"Probably."

"Lao Zhang is still fierce. He deserves to be a national master. He is a king when he takes action."

"But there seems to be a lot of controversy surrounding the movie."

"Controversy is normal. The bigger the production, the more controversy there will be."

"I have watched this movie. To be honest, there are definitely some shortcomings, but the big scenes in the movie are enough to make up for everything."

"Now let's see how high the final box office of this movie will be and how much it can push the record higher."

Late that night, new box office statistics came out.

"How can this be!"

Zhang Yange exclaimed.

On the second day of National Day, the single-day box office of "The Great Wall" was 142 million, a drop of more than 20 million compared to the first day.

This number made the atmosphere in the hotel much lower.

"How could this happen?" Zhang Yange was confused.

How could the box office on the second day be so much lower than the first day?

Under normal circumstances, as the movie's reputation grows, more viewers should be attracted to the cinema, pushing the box office to a new peak.

But the box office on the second day was more than 20 million lower than the first day.

The producer comforted: "Don't make a fuss yet. This may be just a normal callback. There is nothing to worry about."

Zhang Yange nodded slowly: "Maybe."

He has done everything he can, and the only way now is to wait.

Maybe things will get better tomorrow.

"By the way, how is the box office of Xu Nan's "The Beginning"? Has it dropped?" Zhang Yange asked.

The secretary replied in a low voice: "It has increased to 40 million."

Zhang Yange's expression darkened: "What about word of mouth?"

The secretary replied: "It has good reviews all over the Internet, and there are basically no negative reviews."

Zhang Yange fell silent.

On the third day of National Day, the media continued to report.

The box office of "The Great Wall" is in decline and can break the domestic box office record. 》

"Zhang Yange: I have confidence in the quality of Great Wall. 》

"The Great Wall" is mired in controversy, with audiences dissatisfied with the script. 》

"Zhang Yange encounters Waterloo, Great Wall's box office plummets." 》

"The reputation counterattack started, and the box office fell. 》

"Beginning VS Great Wall, who will win the National Day championship?" 》

Industry insiders were also a little surprised by the box office results on the second day.

"It feels wrong. "The Great Wall" does have shortcomings, but it won't fall off so fast."

"Only 20 million."

"Talent? Brother, how many movies have not reached a box office of 20 million, and you actually gave me a talent."

"Twenty million may not be much, but this trend is very bad."

"Yes, the National Day is a critical time for harvesting box office. If it falls at this time, it will be difficult to make up for it later."

In addition to discussing Zhang Yange's "The Great Wall", insiders are even more curious about Xu Nan's "The Beginning".

"As for the situation of the movie "The Beginning", the box office trend is a bit confusing."

"Yes, not only did it not fall but it rose. Could it be that all the box office losses of "The Great Wall" were taken away by "The Beginning"."

"Xu Nan cast some kind of magic, but the problem is that I didn't see him do anything."

"This movie is really good. I suggest you go and watch it carefully."

"Lao Qi, are you serious?"

"Seriously, I've seen this movie, and it's really good. Don't look at people with old eyes. I even think this movie is the best suspense movie in China."

"this"

"It's really good. I watched it on the first day and it really shocked me."

"Someone around me seems to have said the same thing. A lot of this movie is just tap water."

"Let's take a look?"

"Let's take a look. No matter how much you listen, it's better to watch it once."

The third day.

The single-day box office of "The Great Wall" plummeted to 110 million, while the single-day box office of "The Beginning" rose to 70 million.

The most important thing is that the famous rating website Douya scored.

The rating of "The Great Wall" is 5.9.

And "The Beginning", nine o'clock!

After the news spread, the whole network was shocked.
