Chapter 667: Want to take the blame? No way!

Cinema is the most realistic.

"Thieves 2" set a new midnight opening record. During the day on the 25th, all theaters collectively adjusted their film schedules.

The film schedule of "Thieves 2" has been increased from the original 35% to 55%.

At 8 o'clock in the morning, the Douban score of "A Chinese Ghost Story" was 4.3.

"Chen Zhengdao, just blink if you are kidnapped." Yixing.

"The special effects team for "The Lord of the Rings" has been agreed upon! It has been agreed upon that more than a dozen domestic special effects companies will jointly produce it! Five cents!" One star.

"The male and female protagonists gave the worst acting of the year. Lu Han: Do you think I'm handsome? And Zheng Shuang, who has a professional background, tried hard to play the female ghost. It was so funny that in the end he could only put on a face: Do you think I'm beautiful?

"?" One star.

"I wanted to wait for "Rogue 2", but my girlfriend forced me to watch "A Chinese Ghost Story" in advance. The story was smooth and self-consistent, but the performance of the actors was terrible." Two stars.

There is a handy trick for finding movies on Douban.

The movies it says are good may not necessarily be good, but nine out of ten movies it says are bad are really bad.

And with the release of "Thieves 2", the public opinion of the film that Ahri had controlled for two days inevitably collapsed.

There were a lot of voices denouncing it as a bad movie.

The ultra-high traffic of Lu Han and Zheng Shuang has added fuel to this discussion.

However, these comments did not affect the two fans' fans to buy tickets to support their idols, but the growth rate was not as impressive as the previous two days.

On Friday, the day "Rogue 2" was released, "A Chinese Ghost Story" only received 32 million at the box office with 23.6% of the film schedule.

The performance of "Rogue 2" was 172 million, with a combined box office of 180 million on the first day.

One day surpassed the performance of "A Chinese Ghost Story" in three days.

On the two weekend days, the box office of "Rogue 2" did not exceed 100 million. It collected 150 million on Saturday and 122 million on Sunday.

In the three days of the first weekend, the box office exceeded 400 million and reached 452 million.

However, "A Chinese Ghost Story" only earned 117 million in the two weekend days, and 292 million in the five days of its first weekend.

Various agencies have lowered their expectations for "A Chinese Ghost Story":

"If we follow the theory of three times the opening weekend, the final box office of "A Chinese Ghost Story" can reach the 900 million platform. For Ahri, it is very good for the first film to achieve such results. But now the film is affected by

The serious drag on word-of-mouth, coupled with the fact that most fans of the two leading actors have already released their enthusiasm for watching the movie in the first weekend, will be followed by films such as "The Nine-Story Demon Tower", "Saving My Mr." and "A Chinese Ghost Story" in the National Day schedule.

》The following trend is not optimistic.”

"In "Thieves 2", Han Yan learned the perfect rhythm of the first film from Cheng Yu'an. Every three to five minutes has a breaking point, which is either thrilling or funny. The narrative is not sloppy at all, and the relationship between the characters is clear and clear.

It will not put pressure on the audience to watch the movie. The newly added Japanese actors also have their own characteristics. Although the imaginative action design is unreasonable, it really touches the audience's taste. The dazzling array of high-tech means satisfy the audience.

With the novelty-seeking mentality, it is foreseeable that it will sell well.”

According to the prediction of an authoritative organization: "It has been three years since the release of "Thieves 1". In these three years, the domestic market has further expanded. Judging from the current performance of "Thieves 2", it is only a matter of time before it surpasses "Thieves 1"."

The pressure has come to "Nine-Storey Demon Tower". How should director Lu Chuan face a billion-dollar movie?"

A fatal flaw of fan movies is that their box office explosion period is extremely short.

On the following Monday, "A Chinese Ghost Story" took a big plunge, only receiving 20.17 million, while "Rogue 2" still had an excellent performance of over 50 million.

Before the market could see how Lu Chuan would respond to "Rogue 2", Ahri made the first move.

Yang Sanshi, the marketing director of "A Chinese Ghost Story" and the vice president of Ari Pictures, was the first to admit the negative reviews given by netizens during the promotion of Jinguan City: "It is difficult to make a movie.

Everyone likes it, and we welcome criticism from the audience. But I still have to say a few words of justice for our movie. We invested a lot of time and money in the special effects of this movie, and hired the top special effects in Hollywood.

team, but it is a pity that many of our domestic special effects companies are not yet fully equipped with technology, which cost us a lot of time. The final effect was not satisfactory to everyone, and I am really sorry."

In the current domestic environment, special effects companies are basically at the bottom of the entire production process. Everyone knows that special effects are important, but if they don't pay attention to special effects and are not willing to give money and time, anyone can cut off the special effects budget.

The nature of the work of a special effects company also determines that it cannot gain a particularly large say in the crew. Special effects companies generally work with money and follow orders. I will do whatever you want.

But it would be unreasonable for Yang Sanshi to pass the blame to the special effects company like this.

It's not enough to pick on the soft persimmons. If you don't dare to blame the actors and directors, you just look for bullying from the honest special effects team.

Tiangong Yicai, as the actual leader of the entire special effects of "A Chinese Ghost Story", first responded to Yang Sanshi's remarks. Shen Yuan, director of Tiangong Yicai, said on Weibo:

"Yang is always responsible for brand building and marketing and public relations. I don't blame you for not knowing special effects. But if you blame the bad reviews of the movie on the special effects production, I beg to differ. "A Chinese Ghost Story" is a film by Mr. Yang.

Blockbusters that are said to be "the benchmark for Hollywood" are too stingy in special effects investment. For a Hollywood blockbuster, post-production special effects investment usually accounts for 1/3 of the budget. "A Chinese Ghost Story" cost 300 million.

But the investment in special effects obviously did not reach 100 million. The investment in "Legend of the White Fox" to be released at the end of the year is also 300 million. When the time comes, I will ask Mr. Yang to see what special effects worth 100 million will look like."

"There is a well-known saying in special effects production: 'If you give them enough beer and pizza, they can do anything.' Mr. Yang criticized our special effects production for not being sophisticated enough. Please go back and ask the crew and producer how much we gave them."

The budget is given to special effects, and how much time is given to special effects."

Finally, he said a harsh word: "You want to be cheap, you want to work well, and you want to be in a short time. How can you find such a good thing in the world?"

The special effects team of Tian Gong Wei Cai did not take the blame thrown by Yang Sanshi, and then the bottom of "A Chinese Ghost Story" was discovered by netizens:

"The investment in "A Chinese Ghost Story" is said to be 300 million, and we take it as if he really invested 300 million. According to the news, the male and female protagonists spent nearly 100 million on the remuneration alone, and the money left for special effects did not exceed 50 million, and the time was special

Come on, you must know that "A Chinese Ghost Story" was only completed in February this year. Moreover, the special effects of "A Chinese Ghost Story" were not made by the team of "The Lord of the Rings" as they said, they hired props from "The Lord of the Rings"

For the design team, the pre- and post-production special effects have always been done by domestic special effects companies such as Tiangong Yicai. But in order to make it look good during publicity, we say it was done by the "Lord of the Rings" team."

This news cannot be proven, but it is also impossible to falsify, which makes it easier for such revelations to spread.
