Chapter 192 Bet
Feng Xiaogang only asked Wang Zhonglei three questions:
“How was the box office for the premiere of Old Cannon?”

"How is the box office of Deng Chao's "Bad Angels"?"

“How is the box office of Mojin: The Lost Legend?”

But the answer he got was: "Old Cannon flopped at the box office on the first day!"

"The box office of 'Bad Angels' is twice as much as ours, almost three times!"

"The box office of Mojin: The Lost Legend, which has only been released for a week, is more than 10 million higher than ours!"

After suffering three consecutive blows, Feng Xiaofeng has become a little autistic and unwilling to talk.

But Feng Xiaogang stopped talking. Instead, Wang Zhonglei of Huayi started talking. "Xiaogang, it's been so many years. It's not me who's saying this to you. You have to change your temper.
You can't just go out and criticize this and that all day long, from cinemas to film companies, from actors to audiences, you dare to criticize anyone!

Count it yourself, how many people have you offended because of your mouth over the years?

Look, isn't this retribution? Haven't I told you long ago, 'Misfortune comes from the mouth!'

I told you not to be so talkative, think before you speak or act, and don't just seek momentary pleasure!
People always say that you should leave a way out for others so that you can meet again in the future. You lost your temper in public, which was really refreshing! What was the result? How are you now? Do you feel better?
Besides, even if you want to criticize someone, you have to consider the person. Deng Chao has been very popular in the past two years, so you don't have to criticize him!

It's easy to talk to Deng Chao, but the most important thing is that you have offended even the cinema chains. If your relationship with the cinema chains is not so bad,
Why is the screening rate of "Old Cannon" so low this time? Do I need to tell you the reason? It's because you offended Wanda.

If it weren’t for Wanda Films’ behind-the-scenes operation, would Deng Chao’s "Bad Angel" have such a high screening rate!
The movie "Mr. Six" wouldn't be given so few screenings, at least it wouldn't be only 25.5%, right?
The key point is that you call the audience rubbish. Sometimes the audience is a bit rubbish, and there are a lot of rubbish audiences, but you can't say it openly!
Besides, what good will it do? Besides being called arrogant, it will ruin your popularity among the public! What else can you gain? "

At this time, Feng Xiaogang had a sullen face and said nothing, because he knew that the best strategy now was to remain silent.

Unexpectedly, before the reporters outside could scold him, his old partner who he had worked with for many years had already opened fire on him!

Wang Zhonglei also knew that it was almost time. If he continued talking, Feng Xiaogang would get angry. Besides, Huayi still had to rely on Feng Xiaogang.

So Wang Zhonglei also said in a gentle tone: "Xiaogang! Maybe what I said just now was a bit too much, please bear with me, but I have to change my temper in the future!"

After giving Feng Xiaogang a higher price, Wang Zhonglei continued to talk about the subsequent promotion of "Old Cannon".
“In fact, ‘Old Cannon’ is not as bad as we thought, and it is not just good because of the high reputation among the audience. It has publicity hotspots. The main reason is that we did not do a good job in the early stage publicity!

Speaking of this promotion, I would also like to say that in the early stage we concentrated too much of our promotional resources on your winning of the Golden Horse Award for Best Actor.

But to be honest, young audiences don’t care about these at all. They prefer traffic stars like Lin Feng and Wu Qian!

Therefore, we have to readjust our promotional focus recently and focus on promoting these two popular idols, Lin Feng and Wu Qian!

Especially Lin Feng, you see he had so many fans at the premiere, he should be promoted well, I hope you can understand!"

"I have no problem. As long as the box office of the movie "Old Cannon" is good, I can do anything." Feng Xiaogang is also a wise man.

No matter how "Mr. Six" is promoted, as long as the movie is successful, he will definitely be the biggest beneficiary. After all, he is the absolute protagonist of the movie.

...

However, on the way to the roadshow, Feng Xiaogang was still in a heavy mood. After all, he was scolded by his old friend of many years, and was affected by the unfavorable box office performance yesterday. No one would be in a good mood.

After meeting up with the others, Feng Xiaogang soon discovered that he was not the only one in a bad mood.

Basically all the other actors, even the previously confident Guan Hu, seemed a little depressed, probably because of the impact of yesterday's box office.

"Don't worry, I believe the box office performance of the movie "Old Cannon" will definitely rise. We will strike back!"

These are what Feng Xiaogang said to comfort Guan Hu, but when he said this, he didn't seem very confident and seemed to be leaving everything to fate.

Guan Hu also had the same expression, "I'm fine, I just felt that the box office on the first day was not very ideal, and I haven't adjusted my mentality yet!"

Feng Xiaogang has adjusted his mentality, but today is the first stop of the roadshow press conference.

"Director Feng, the box office of Old Cannon was only 5610.9 million on the first day. What do you think?"

"Director Feng, what do you think of the fact that Old Cannon is critically acclaimed but not commercially successful?"

"Director Feng, Director Feng! Mr. Six only ranked third on the first day. Do you think it can surpass Angels?"

Thank you so much, I really hate something, why are you asking such a question! Feng Xiaogang cursed in his heart, but he endured it this time, he couldn't curse anymore!

He was subjected to endless difficulties, but fortunately he was a veteran and he managed to get through them by blocking left and right.

The only person who surprised Feng Xiaogang was probably Lin Feng, and Lin Feng was also the only one who was not affected.

This guy still looked energetic, confident, and had everything under control. Feng Xiaogang was a little puzzled.
Feng Xiaogang was so stunned by what he saw that he really wanted to pull him over and ask, "Where does this inexplicable confidence of yours come from?"

Of course Feng Xiaogang did not do so, mainly because it was not appropriate to ask this question at this time. Besides, the overall morale is low now. It is so hard to find someone with a positive attitude, so is he going to pour cold water on him?

Is it just that Lin Feng has a positive attitude? Or has Lin Feng already given up?
Could it be that Lin Feng feels that this movie has nothing to do with him and there is no pressure? He is not responsible for the box office, so if the box office fails, it doesn't matter. He is not the main responsible and no one will scold him.

That shouldn't be the case. Lin Feng had previously announced the slogan "Box office revenue will exceed 10 billion". If "Mr. Six" didn't exceed 10 billion, he would definitely be affected.

The extent of the impact and backlash also depends on the final box office of "Old Cannon".

If it is just a little short, such as a shortfall of 100 or 200 million, people will not blame him and the impact will be small;
But if the final gap is too big, such as a difference of 500 or 600 million, I guess no one will forgive him and will label him as "youthful and frivolous" and "arrogant".

Especially after the first day box office of "Mr. Six" was released, the happiest person was definitely Lin Feng's "black fan" Wang Hailin, who was shouting louder than anyone else on the Internet!

"I said that the box office of Mr. Six would not exceed 10 billion. This kind of movie cannot be promoted by any top stars. And based on the box office performance of Mr. Six on the first day, let alone 10 billion, it would be difficult to even reach 5 million.

This is not what I said, it was predicted by a third-party professional box office prediction agency! I am not deliberately slandering Lin Feng, this is the fact!"

So during the roadshow promotion the next day, apart from Feng Xiaogang, Lin Feng was the one who answered the reporters' questions most fiercely, and his questions were more pointed. It was because Lin Feng spoke in dialect before.

"Hello, Lin Feng! I remember that at the premiere of "Old Cannon" two days ago, your box office prediction for the movie was "over 10 billion yuan".

So, considering that Mr. Six only earned 6233 million yuan on its first day, do you still think this goal is achievable? "

I knew you reporters would ask this question. You are not good at anything else, but finding hot spots first!
Lin Feng certainly couldn't back down at this time, he said confidently: "It will definitely come true! I have confidence in the movie "Old Cannon"!"

The reporter was not convinced and shouted, "But the movie only made over 6200 million on its first day.

The box office contribution rate is lower than the screening rate. Many professional forecasting agencies have only given a box office of around 5 million. Do you still have confidence now? "

Lin Feng just smiled slightly, and said confidently: "You said it, it's just a box office prediction, at least before the movie "Old Cannon" is released, these don't count!

If a movie is judged based solely on its first-day box office performance, it would be too one-sided.
My first movie, "Charlotte's Troubles", had a screening rate of only 20.1% on the first day, and a box office of only 3862.05 million yuan, with a box office contribution rate of only 18.9%.

According to professional prediction agencies, the final box office performance would hardly exceed 3 million, but what happened?

Finally, what was the box office of "Charlotte's Troubles"? 18.6 billion! What do you think of this? "

"Uh..." Now the reporters didn't know how to refute Lin Feng, because this was the fact and it could not be refuted!
Of course, there were still many reporters who argued, "They are different. That was 'Charlotte's Troubles' and this is 'Old Cannon'. How can the two movies be the same?"

"Yes, the two movies are different. 'Charlotte' is a comedy, which is likely to have a big hit at the box office, while 'Old Cannon' is an art film disguised as a commercial film, which is unlikely to have a big hit at the box office."

...

Finally, Lin Feng waved his hand and said, "I won't say anything else. I heard that there is a film critic named Wang Hailin on the Internet.

Make a bet with me that if the box office of "Mr. Six" exceeds 10 billion, he will eat the microphone live!
Let's be realistic. This microphone can be a chocolate microphone. If the box office of Mr. Six exceeds 10 billion, I will give him a chocolate microphone.

If the box office of Mr. Six doesn’t exceed 10 billion by then, I will eat this chocolate microphone!”

Good man, you really took a gamble! Do you really want to play it so big?
At this moment, there was only the clicking sound of the camera, and all the media reporters on the scene were collectively excited. Now there was a hot news topic again!
The reporter quickly found Wang Hailin. He was stunned and a little surprised. He didn't expect Lin Feng to really pay attention to him. This overwhelming traffic finally came to him.
Wang Hailin accepted the bet happily, "I'll make this bet! Tell Lin Feng that I'll make the chocolate microphone. I will definitely make a very beautiful chocolate microphone for him!"

Because of this bet, Lin Feng immediately topped the hot search list, "Lin Feng bets to eat the microphone!" which brought a huge amount of traffic to the movie "Mr. Six".

For this, Feng Xiaogang once again expressed his gratitude to Lin Feng, and even said with a bit of reluctance: "Lin Feng, you don't have to promote it like this every time, it will have a bad influence on you!
Besides, the box office of Mr. Six is ​​not very good right now. If you say that, it will only lead to more doubts and make you look arrogant. "

"Director Feng, you told me this at the last premiere, and I still say the same thing. I think the box office of "Old Cannon" can reach 10 billion. This is my true thought!"

Feng Xiao was stunned. "Do you still think so? Can our movie Old Cannon break 10 billion at the box office?"

"Why doesn't Director Feng believe in himself?"

"I believed it before, but now I don't dare to believe it anymore!" Faced with the first day's box office results, Feng Xiaogang was not very confident.

"Then just believe me, our movie will definitely make over 10 billion." Lin Feng said confidently.

In fact, the reason why Lin Feng is so confident about the box office of "Mr. Six" is nothing more than the confidence he gained in his previous life.

Another point is that the quality of the movie "Mr. Six" is definitely a high-quality movie with a good reputation. He doesn't believe that no one likes to watch it!
At this time, the Douban scores of the two movies "Old Cannon" and "Bad Angels" have come out. "Old Cannon" has a Douban score of 8.6, while "Bad Angels" has a Douban score of 4.2.

Although "Old Cannon" is beaten by "Bad Boys" in box office, it also beats "Bad Boys" in word of mouth.
Although "Bad Angels" is a box office success, it continues to face criticism in terms of word of mouth.

Douban's score has dropped from 4.4 to 4.2 since it was first released, and it is showing a downward trend.

"Great! 'Bad Angels' put a final, explosive and perfect end to the 2015 bad movie concentration camp!"

“The difference between “Bad Angels” and “Charlotte’s Troubles” is a reappearance of the crushing performance in “Happy Comedian”. However, compared to the extremely bad “Breakup Guru”, it is a huge improvement!”

"Brother Chao, can we just be actors? We ordinary people really don't understand your understanding of comedy. You deliberately add all kinds of jokes.

The result is not funny at all, sometimes it is too embarrassing! We want to see funny people, not idiots! Why insult our IQ like this! "

"With 'The Breakup Guru' and 'Bad Angels', Deng Chao's directorial career has basically come to an end. Anyway, I will never watch any movie directed by Deng Chao in the future!"

The Douban score of "Mr. Six" has risen from 8.2 to 8.6 since the score was released, and it is still rising. It is estimated that a large part of it is due to the popularity of "Bad Angels"!
This is undoubtedly the best review for domestic films this year, winning unanimous recognition from practitioners, film critics, and audiences.

"'Things should be done in order' goes straight to the top from the beginning, Zhang Yi's urban management drama, to Xu Qing's huge wave, the three rings and twelve young men, Zhang Yishan and Ning Hao's turn, the disappearing Xuanwu District, the running ostrich, the ice showdown at the Summer Palace...

Surprises galore, tears welling up in my eyes! Feng Xiaogang, who speaks in a Beijing accent, is full of drama, and director Guan Hu is brilliant, the best Chinese film of 2015. 'Fighting is all about the underworld', bloody and masculine, romantic and idealistic! "

"It's actually quite good. This is the first good movie I've seen this year. Guan Hu has retained the lifelike qualities and strong appeal of the film, and has also implied a completely different male aesthetic through the confrontation and generation gap between the old and the young.

The continuous close-up impact made Feng Xiaogang, who is in his true colors, find the acting feeling of Huang Bo in "Bullfighting". The most difficult thing is to shoot the cold and warm feelings, and the ending will also burn many people! "

"Men only grow old, never mature. Sixth Master burned his life. Sixth Master is a man of justice, and he does everything according to reason. He lives for no other reason than to fight for his dignity and to set rules. Sixth Master rushed forward on the glacier with a saber on his shoulder, and gave his life for his beliefs!"

Of course, Lin Feng’s performance in “Mr. Six” also won recognition from many people, especially when compared with Wu Qian, it was even more prominent!
