Chapter 55 I’m not your dad

Chen Jiahui was stunned.

He quietly pushed open the bathroom door, and the slight sound of pushing the door alerted Director Zhou in the bathroom. She instantly turned her face away from the crying pear blossom.

When I met Chen Jiahui.

Her body was still interrupted by crying, and she sobbed uncontrollably.

While wiping away the tears on his face with tissue paper, Director Zhou explained, "The mother of a movie fan of mine passed away suddenly last night, so... I feel very sad."

The corners of Chen Jiahui's mouth twitched a few times.

Director Zhou is really ruthless.

Isn't it because "Crazy for Love" has been scolded by fans these days? She actually got up in the middle of the night and cursed her mother to death.

Think about it.

Chen Jiahui said, "No matter how sad you are, don't lie down on the toilet. This will make people mistakenly think you have some special hobby."

"roll"

Director Zhou cursed.

then.

She covered her eyes with her palms, as if she didn't want Chen Jiahui to see her soft side.

From this point, we can see that the failure of "Crazy for Love", which invested 20 million yuan, caused a big blow to director Zhou. Chen Jiahui looked through the reviews of her movie and received a lot of curses. In addition to calling the movie ugly,

This time the calls to persuade Director Zhou to withdraw from the directing circle were particularly strong.

Occasionally, fans who said something about her movies that liked her were immediately suppressed under such momentum. Even fans who praised "Crazy for Love" were questioned by countless people as having brain problems.

In short.

Director Zhou's "Crazy for Love" completely exhausted the audience's popularity.

Even if she makes another movie in the future, even if she makes a movie with a rating of 7.0 or above, given her reputation for bad movies, the box office won't be very good.

Because Director Zhou has failed so many times that whenever her name is mentioned, many people subconsciously think it is another bad movie.

actually.

Many directors have made bad movies.

There are also many bad films that will lose money, but at least they have produced a qualified film. However, Director Zhou has been making bad films again and again, and he likes to throw bad films into fiercely competitive schedules. Last year's "Love"

It’s on the National Day holiday, and this year’s “Crazy for Love” is on the Spring Festival holiday. To be honest, even Director Chen’s “Father and Son” would be risky if it’s on the Spring Festival holiday, but Director Zhou insists on going his own way.

If it were a different schedule without any blockbusters.

For example, in the months of March, April, November and February, even if Director Zhou suffered losses, it would definitely be much better than now.

"Crazy for Love".

It has only been released for a few days, and it has become a background wall. It has become the first movie to be crucified. With an investment of 20 million, apart from the share with the theater, as well as a series of other taxes, with the current box office, it is losing money.

At least 14 to 5 million. Although "Crazy for Love" is still in theaters, with a box office of hundreds of thousands per day, it is estimated that the theater will soon be forced to withdraw from the production line. The proportion of "Crazy for Love" in the schedule will be changed.

It became "Skmunda".

Chen Jiahui took the time to read it today.

Cinemas have reacted by scheduling Zhou's "Crazy for Love" in an unpopular time slot.

Early the next morning.

There was light snow falling in the sky, and Chen Jiahui had already gone to promote with the crew.

Maybe "Skomunda" has made everyone feel the pressure. In the past few days, many crews have been promoting more diligently than usual. They basically went to one city in the morning and then to another in the afternoon.

There was no hope of saving director Zhou's "Crazy for Love". She was so sad that she simply gave up. Now she is waiting for it to be released in theaters. She can still recover some losses by getting it online, but the quality of the film matters.

, plus it doesn’t even have a minimum rating, it’s estimated that there won’t be many clicks.

I slept until half past nine.

She just got up from the bed because she hid in the bathroom and cried for a long time last night, so her eyes were a little red and swollen.

After washing, she simply put on some makeup to cover her eyes, and then went to the living room on the first floor. At this moment, Xiao Ziyuan and Zhou Changwu, who did not go out with Chen Jiahui today, were stacking blocks in the children's area.

"Dad, Mom"

Seeing that his parents were there, Director Zhou said hello.

After Aunt Chen brought breakfast to the table, she began to eat breakfast slowly.

"Why!"

Zhou Yu sighed.

This sigh vividly expressed the mentality of a kind old father facing his useless children, and then he said, "The investment in "Skomunda" is also 20 million, and your "Crazy for Love" is also 20 million. There is such a gap.

…”

Noticing that his daughter put down her chopsticks and turned to look over, Zhou Yu immediately chose to change the topic and said, "It's a pity that Jiahui's "Father and Son" was not there. Without "Skomunda", the box office would have been at least two to three hundred million more."

“My brother-in-law’s acting skills are much better than Charlotte’s”

At this time.

Zhou Changwu said, "A few days ago, the media was rushing to report on him, but now they are all reporting on Charlotte."

"This is the power of comedy"

As a third-generation director, Zhou Yu naturally understands the commercial value of comedy films.

However, this counterattack of "Skmunda" really shocked him. With an investment of 20 million, how much is the box office now!? 1.67 billion, and the guaranteed total box office by the time of release is also 2 billion.

, Zhou Yu was jealous after seeing such a high rate of return. The income from this movie is enough to sustain a company for many years.

It's just that this box office myth can never happen again.

certainly.

If Chen Jiahui were here, he would definitely have different ideas.

The box-office-to-revenue ratio of comedies is often astonishing, and as long as the quality of the films that Charlotte stars in next is of good quality, he will be like the Chosen One, and the box office of each film will not be low.

Like Stephen Chow.

Like Shen Teng.

Any film that collides with their schedule will be damaged to varying degrees.

"dad"

After breakfast, Director Zhou hesitated for a long time and then said.

"Don't say you have a new idea, don't say you are confident this time, let alone only need a few million."

Zhou Yu said.

"dad"

Director Zhou shouted again without giving up.

"Don't say that you love movies, don't say that movies are your second life, let alone lend it to you first and then pay it back to me after you make money from the movie."

Zhou Yu squatted next to the boy Ziyuan, playing with building blocks with his eldest granddaughter, but said, "If you put it in the bank, if you are in a situation like yours, it is a bad debt."

"dad"

This time Director Zhou shouted two words, his tone containing grievance and unwillingness.

"Know that I am your dad, so don't ask for excessive demands. I don't want to say that you are not made for movies. I just want to tell you that every director will save money before taking the shot. You are so smooth. Yesterday

Your mother and I went to the cinema to watch your movie "Crazy for Love". If you make it for me, you can make this movie for four million."

Zhou Yu replied.

"dad"

"I'm not your dad"

Zhou Yu's eyelids twitched and he said helplessly, "Your mother is not your mother either. Your mother and I picked you up from the trash can when we were young. Now that you have grown up, I plan to send you back to the trash can. After all, you
