October 1st.

National Day.

Director Zhou's "Love" is officially released in theaters. The release of such a romantic movie at such a fierce schedule undoubtedly proves that after two romantic movies, Director Zhou is very confident in the third romantic movie he directed.

It is bound to compete with those commercial blockbusters that invest over 100 million yuan.

The box office is out on the first day.

Director Zhou's film earned 6 million at the box office.

Compared with the investment of more than 40 million, this kind of box office is obviously not qualified.

In addition to failing at the box office, director Zhou's "Love" also had a bad reputation.

After watching it, many viewers only gave it a symbolic one star, while Douban's rating was only 5.2 points, and Maoyan's rating was even lower, only 4.7 points.

"Waste of time, waste of money"

"This is a good dream-inducing movie. It lasted for 90 minutes, and I slept for 85 minutes. The remaining five minutes were like a nightmare."

"From south to north, from east to west, this time from north to south, the next car accident will definitely be from west to east."

Obviously.

The netizen who made such a comment must have watched Director Zhou's first two works.

He even knew the direction of the car accident clearly.

"Director Zhou, this is not how romance movies are shot."

In addition to negative comments, many netizens said such things, as if they wanted to teach Director Zhou how to make movies.

Some true fans of Yang Mi and Ai Wen left messages on their Weibo accounts, reminding them not to make director Zhou's movies in the future. No matter how much they were given, it would hurt their hearts too much.

General movie screenings.

Regardless of the quality of the work, word of mouth will ferment after one day of release.

If the quality passes the standard, the box office will be higher and higher in the next few days. On the contrary, it will immediately become cannon fodder in the National Day schedule. Probably affected by the reputation on the first day, the "Love" directed by Director Zhou in the next few days will

It has completely become the background wall of this National Day stall.

The box office the next day was four million.

More than three million on the third day.

As a result, the theater chain reduced the 7.8 film schedule of "Love" to 3.2, and the rest of the film schedule was given to "The Wolf" directed by Chen Jiahe, which has a tendency to not be a hit.

In addition to "The Wolf", there are two other movies in this National Day period that are also of good quality.

The main creators of these three movies are now working hard to promote them.

As soon as you open the short video, you can see scenes of them meeting audiences in various cities.

"Dad, I have already started preparations for my next movie, and you actually asked me to stop and take a good rest."

Compared with other main creators who are desperately promoting.

Director Zhou is obviously much more relaxed.

no way.

The box office and word-of-mouth were so bad that there was no way around it.

"Long Song"

He probably also knew that his daughter was not in a good mood after losing at the box office, so Zhou Yu and his wife rushed over early in the morning to comfort their daughter.

Casually telling Zhou Changge that the company decided to stop her project, Zhou Yu said while smoking, "As you know, dad is just one of the founders of the company. If one of your first two works makes money, I will definitely support you unconditionally."

, but now there are three films, and dad has to give an explanation to the other two founders of the company. After all, if he continues to let you film after so many failures, what will the other directors of the company think?"

I have to say something here.

Director Zhou's father, Zhou Yu, is a third-generation martial arts film director.

But during the heyday of martial arts movies, he founded a company with two others, which is now MMS Entertainment, and Director Zhou was the contracted director of MMS Entertainment.

because of this.

Director Zhou has been involved in one TV series and two more movies, and now he is in the third one before being stopped by the company.

Generally speaking, after a new director fails in his first film, it basically means there is no second chance.

certainly.

Except for a few directors who are particularly optimistic about the company.

If someone like Director Zhou didn't have such a background, she would have lost the chance to direct the second one as a movie after she failed in her first TV series.

However, Zhou Yu is basically semi-retired now. He rarely interferes in the company's affairs when he is not in charge of the camera, except for using his status as the founder to give his daughter a few more opportunities.

pity.

He was given the opportunity, but his daughter was thrown into the market one after another. The TV series lost more than 10 million. The first movie after two or three years of recovery is still losing several million. The second movie directly lost 20 million.

, "Love", which is still being released in theaters, is predicted to have a box office of more than 30 million yuan at most. According to the share ratio between theaters and production companies, it is another big loss.

Also because Director Zhou failed one after another and the company still gave her a chance, several directors in the company were dissatisfied, and one of them directly switched to a competitor of their company. And this National Day film has only one film by this director, except "The Wolf"

One of two other high-quality films besides the first one.

With such factors.

The other two founders of the company became increasingly dissatisfied.

I called him last night.

"If you want to give your daughter a chance, we have no objection, but in the future we must abide by the company's rules and regulations."

What can Zhou Yu say?

Nothing can be said.

The meaning of the two founders was very clear. If his daughter wanted to continue making films, she had to apply to the company step by step, and she could only film after being evaluated by the company. Otherwise, she could invest her own money if she wanted to make films.

Anyway, the company won't be taken advantage of anymore.

Once or twice.

How many times has this happened.

Catch a sheep.

"This audience is not good"

Director Zhou held the phone and said this angrily.

Chen Jiahui, who was sitting next to him drinking tea, was stunned for a moment, then quickly adjusted his emotions and continued to drink tea from the cup.

The audience is not good this time.

It didn’t work last time either.

It still didn't work in the previous session.

This audience is quite unlucky, but these words are probably only spoken at home. If they were said outside, just by these words, Director Zhou's career as a director would be completely over.

"Okay, if you want to film again, just polish the script."

Zhou Yu said, "If you don't know how to write, just find a professional screenwriter to write it. Don't invest so much. Three to four million is enough. If you lose money, you can use it as training."

Said.

Zhou Yu turned his attention to Chen Jiahui and said, "Didn't Jiahui graduate from the acting academy? You should use Jiahui as the male lead. There is no reason why your own family should not use it. You spend so much money to hire an outsider and also hire a singer."

“Aiwen brings his own traffic”

Director Zhou was dissatisfied with the airway.

"Traffic is shit"

It's fine if I don't mention this. When I mentioned it, Zhou Yu suddenly said angrily, "You don't have to spend money to watch the excitement. Once you spend all the money, I have already reminded you that movies rely on quality, not traffic. Those so-called

How many traffic niches with tens of millions of fans are willing to pay for them? Take this Ivan, for example, with more than 10 million fans and a ticket of 45. As long as one-tenth of his fans enter the theater

Support, your box office is more than this, and Yang Mi’s fan base is also very large, but you invited her to film two works, how many of her fans have you seen entering the theater? These traffic stars and traffic niches can act in a TV series for free

It’s okay to show it to the audience, but if fans really want to pay for it, it’s up to the movie itself.”

"Dad, you said my movie is not good, I admit it, but you can't question my choice of actors."

Director Zhou is very stubborn.

Her stubbornness is not the kind of stubbornness unique to geniuses.

It's just stubbornness that doesn't listen to other people's advice.

It seems.
