Chapter 467 Released, Fighting

The most popular comment on the Internet summarizes the three films and three directors that have been released in the current film market.

"There is at least 100 Lu Chuans between Feng Xiaogang and Li An!

So after pondering for a moment, we came to a conclusion that there is not much difference between Feng Xiaogang and Li An!"

This sentence is a recognition of Li An's "Life of Pi" and Feng Xiaogang's "1942", and it is also an extreme humiliation to Lu Chuan.

Lu Tailang set a record. He is the first person in the history of the domestic film industry to actively and publicly admit to using water army!

The industry was in an uproar. This news was really explosive.

At this time, Lu Chuan stood up and cried again:

"The King's Feast has suffered a lot of targeted, unfair, and despicable smears, bad reviews, and abuses, with an average of thousands of negative comments per hour. We have no choice but to do this..."

"But even so, the head of the water army we hired is also asking us if we want to give up.

Because the speed at which they brush up good reviews and high scores is far slower than the speed of the team behind the scenes who smeared us, and the number is even worse."

"This means that the behind-the-scenes mastermind is financially strong and powerful... and is determined to put "The King's Feast" to death. Maybe there is more than one mastermind..."

...

Just like that, Lu Chuan began to write a short essay on Weibo, accusing some "competitors" with tears in his eyes.

Maybe the audience and netizens really have a bad impression of him. Anyway, his "suicidal revelation" did not have any effect, but was counterproductive.

More ridicule emerged on the Internet.

"Pretentious, stubborn, and refusing to admit that it's a bad movie."

"Why be a director? Just be an actor. His acting skills are pretty good!"

"You still look down on "The Feast of Hongmen"? That movie is a hundred times better than your "The Banquet of Kings"!"

...

Like Lin Nan, many top producers and directors in the circle were blinded by Lu Chuan's operation.

How stupid is this guy to do such a thing?

He didn't even discuss it with the two producers, but made the decision on his own, spent money to hire a water army, and took the initiative to jump out and admit it!

What? Do you think sincerity is a killer move that can impress everyone?

Do you really not know how your image and popularity are in the eyes of the audience? All negative, Taro!

The black spots of "Nanjing" cannot be washed away. No one will support him. Besides, the movie is really bad.

…………

"Lost in Thailand" has officially joined the war of the Lunar New Year file.

"I heard that both Yinghuang and Xingmei are going to explode. They probably want to kill Lu Chuan."

Yue Jun laughed.

Although the box office of "The Banquet" was still hanging at more than 8.8 million on the second day, most of these audiences went to the theater with curiosity.

After it came out, there were a lot more criticisms on the Internet. It is estimated that this movie will not last for a few days.

"How is "Lost in Thailand"?"

"From the feedback from the theaters, the attendance rate is very good. After all, it is a comedy. The screening schedule is similar to "1942". After the first day box office comes out tomorrow, there may be adjustments."

People who care about the box office of "Lost in Thailand" are not only Lin Nan, but also the producers of other Lunar New Year films are paying attention.

After all, the Lunar New Year market is there. Whoever eats more will have to eat less.

The situation of the four movies fighting each other is quite interesting.

The second day of the box office of "1942" closed at 30.1 million, an increase of nearly 4 million, but Huayi did not dare to relax at all. This daily box office data is still far from the daily closing line of payback.

Even Feng Xiaogang rarely stayed up late at night, browsing Weibo, constantly forwarding the audience's praise for "1942".

This fully shows how much pressure Huayi is under this time.

The next day.

Lin Nan rarely got up early.

The data of several movies were clearly placed in a prominent position in the film and television information.

"The total domestic box office of Life of Pi has exceeded 500 million, and the decline is obvious."

"On the third day, 1942 closed at 35.5 million, approaching the 100 million mark."

"The daily box office of The Banquet began to decline, with revenue of 8.05 million on the third day. Director Lu Chuan's purpose of hiring a navy to protect himself was not achieved..."

"Produced by Lin Nan Films, the second film in the Lost series, Lost in Thailand had a box office of 39.18 million on the first day, far exceeding the first..."

…………

At this time, the entire film industry remembered what Lin Nan and Xu Zheng said at the premiere of Lost in Thailand.

The box office of one day is 13 million more than that of The Banquet in three days. Isn't this a complete victory?

"I want to slap myself now."

"Ye Ning said the same thing when he called just now, haha..."

Lin Nan laughed unscrupulously.

At that time, Han Sanping and Ye Ning personally expressed their opinions that "Lost on Journey" did not exceed 100 million yuan, and the second part would be at most 100 million yuan, so they were too lazy to get involved with that little investment cost.

But now the first-day box office of "Lost in Thailand" has reached 39.18 million yuan, which means that this movie will be a hit.

It is hard to say how far the total box office can go, after all, there are too many blockbusters in the Lunar New Year period, and the competition is fierce. But it is absolutely no problem to break through 500 million yuan!

This is equivalent to having an opportunity to make money lying down in front of them, but they ignored it.

On the other end of the phone, Han Sanping's cursing voice gradually became smaller, because it was his own decision, and it would be useless to regret it now.

"Wang Changtian must be laughing silly."

"Then you guessed wrong. At the beginning, Mr. Wang had roughly the same idea as you, thinking that the box office would not be very high.

So the distribution and publicity costs were packaged, a total of 12 million, the bulk of which was publicity costs, just over 10 million."

"Alas, he doesn't regret it as much as I do! Forget it, forget it, thinking about it further, it's even more distressing..."

Lin Nan smiled and was too lazy to respond. If it were him, he would probably regret it to death.

…………

The theater chain orders dishes based on the box office. "Lost in Thailand" performed strongly, and the screening rate and number of screenings increased immediately.

But where do these screenings come from? It must be from movies with poor box office performance, such as "The Feast of the King".

Even three movies have been allocated some screenings from "The Feast of the King".

This time, Lu Chuan is not going to do it.

"Director Lin, look at what that guy said in front of the media."

Lin Nan was being a shit shoveler, and Liu Yifei was talking to him on the side, when Yue Jun called.

Miss Liu ran into the living room in slippers and opened the news page.

Lu Chuan went crazy and started to bite people randomly.

"The Banquet was smeared and attacked by a large number of water armies, and there were many water armies. The reason is nothing more than a conflict of interest."

"And the films with conflicts of interest are clear at a glance. At least in the next 20 days, there will be no new big-budget movies entering the market, and those movies have no reason to find water armies to smear The Banquet..."

Lin Nan laughed when he saw this report.

This is no longer a hint, but a name-calling of 1942 and Lost in Thailand, and even Life of Pi can be matched.

The news in the media is very direct:

"Director Lu Chuan hinted that Lost in Thailand, 1942 and other films in the same period deliberately smeared The Banquet, and has achieved the purpose of seizing the market..."

Huayi seemed to be guarding in front of the computer, and Feng Xiaogang's counterattack had already come out.

"Just because the box office is bad, you can bite people at will? And you still say it's 'obvious'? I can see at a glance that The Banquet is not worth the money!"

"The box office of 1942 is also bad, but have you seen me blame anyone these days?

I am always working hard to promote the movie so that more people can go to the theater, and prepare for the next movie during this period.

By the way, let me tell you. Wang Shuo is already writing a script, a comedy, tentatively named "Personal Customization"..."

Lin Nan finished reading Feng Xiaogang's Weibo reply. The latter seemed to be in a good mood, probably because 1942 brought him a good reputation.

If it were any other time, the little steel cannon's Weibo would not be so elegant, and it would definitely be full of swear words.

Yue Jun, Xu Zheng and others had refuted it at the first time, but it was not enough.

"Let me do it. Don't show up for this kind of thing."

Lin Nan looked at Liu Yifei, who was angry, and said softly. The latter was a little reluctant, but nodded.

Soon, Lin Nan's own Weibo was updated.

"When Kekexili was released, you were sued, but the verdict was miraculously reversed; when Nanjing was released, you were scolded by everyone; now when The Banquet is released, you are still scolded.

Let's say, you are in your forties, not young anymore, can you find faults in yourself? It's not decent to blame others for everything!

Is it difficult to honestly admit that you are incompetent, can't make commercial films well, and can't make commercial films with historical themes?

It seems that the crew of Hongmen Feast kicked you out, which was very foresighted. Director Yang and Director Qin gave you 140 million, which was purely a waste of money. What kind of thing did they shoot..."

Lin Nan was also more elegant, after all, Feng Xiaogang didn't say a swear word.

"Let's go, we still have to give them a bath." Lin Nan shook his head towards the door and said with a smile.

"Wait until I finish forwarding it, then give it a thumbs up. Well, okay, let's go."

Liu Yifei stood up, hugged Lin Nan's arm and walked out of the villa with a smile. Ignore the outside world.

…………

After Feng Xiaogang, Lin Nan's Weibo was like a bigger depth bomb thrown into the entertainment circle.

Almost everyone in the circle saw the two big directors responding to Lu Chuan's words, which was naked contempt and humiliation.

Even fools know how to stand in line. People without worries act quickly, like, forward, and comment to support.

……

"Good summary, this kind of people can't be spoiled!" Jiang Wen is everywhere.

……

"Fuck, Director Lin is insightful!"

"Director Feng's firing is so elegant, I'm a little uncomfortable?!"

"Big directors are fighting, so lively."

"Director Lin's tone is full of contempt and disdain, which hurts people's self-esteem, haha..."

…………

The media are all excited. It has been a long time since they saw such a lively scene.

Facing Lin Nan and Feng Xiaogang, how can Lu Chuan fight back?

"Ying Huang and Xingmei, let's be quiet, stop making trouble, and let the movie be released safely..."

"I'm making trouble? I get a share of the box office revenue. Now it's our movie that's being targeted, it's me that's being targeted, how can we be quiet?"

Lu Chuan yelled hysterically.

He admitted that in terms of influence in the industry, he couldn't compare to Feng Xiaogang and Lin Nan.

Now that he was publicly "educated" by these two people, he was really embarrassed, especially when Jiang Wen and others jumped out to make sarcastic remarks.

…………

Just when the circle was watching the excitement, Lu Chuan's father, a senior screenwriter, came out to speak.

"Hiring water army to suppress and discredit the movies of the same period is extremely shameless and despicable.

If you dare to do it, you must dare to take responsibility. Don't rely on your status, background and achievements in the industry to be arrogant and rude, and look down on others..."

Lu's father didn't say anything explicitly, but it seemed that he said something.

However, in the eyes of many people in the circle, this scene is somewhat familiar?

Director Lu Chuan, is he calling the parents again!

Just like when he quarreled with Jiang Wen on the crew and was confronted by Lin Nan at the dinner table, in the end, seniors in the circle or school teachers intervened.

But this time, even the father came out to protect his child!
