my time as a director

More than ten minutes later, Li Qian received box office information from the distribution department on his mobile phone.

Almost at the same time, Wen Muye's call came again.

Li Qian had no choice but to answer the phone and spoke first, "4300 million on the first day."

Wen Muye, who was on the other side of the phone, stared at the phone for a moment, he hadn't asked yet.

Just as he was stunned, his text message also came, and he quickly said, "Boss, I received a text message from the distribution department, did you bother you to rest, good night."

After finishing speaking, he hung up the phone with Li Qian alone.

""

Li Qian froze, shook his head and threw the phone on the bed.

"Pfft..." Tong Liya couldn't help laughing.

"What are you laughing at, one more round, you are on top." Li Qian graciously let Tong Liya ride on him to do his best.

The next morning, in the office, seeing Wen Mu wildly grinning at the corners of his mouth, Li Qian said angrily, "4300 million, now you can put your heart in your stomach."

"Hey, I interrupted the boss to rest." Wen Muye smirked with some embarrassment.

When it was released in the evening yesterday, although "When Happiness Comes Knocking" had a good reputation, there were still other different voices.

The main negative comment is that it is too sensational, sensational for the sake of sensationalism, and inspirational for the sake of inspiration.

This is an inspirational film, and the main selling point is also inspirational. If there is a problem in this aspect, it will undoubtedly be a major blow to the box office.

At that time, Wen Muye was terrified. After returning home from the road show, I read the comments on the Internet all night. Whether it was Douban, Tieba, Zhuhu, Tianya, etc., I watched the movie's reviews over and over again.

Whenever I see voices criticizing the movie, I feel flustered, so I called Li Qian just after eleven o'clock.

As soon as 12 o'clock in the morning, I couldn't wait to call Li Qian to ask about the box office. I didn't feel relieved until I got the box office data.

After being happy for a while, Wen Muye calmed himself down, "Thinking about it now, I was too nervous yesterday, and it was difficult to find a single bad review among dozens of good ones. The boss is right, there are people who don't even like RMB, Not to mention movies, there is no movie that everyone likes."

"It's the first time, it's inevitable that you will be nervous, but with experience, it will be fine next time."

Next to him, Deng Chao smiled, and said with some doubts, "There are people who don't like RMB. Who doesn't like RMB?"

"what"

Wen Muye was also stunned by this question, "Yes, who doesn't like RMB?"

Wen Muye didn't think about it yesterday, but now that he thinks about it, Li Qian's words are really wrong. How come no one likes RMB.

Liya Tong also looked at Li Qian, "That's right, why would anyone not like RMB?"

""

Li Qian was speechless, this is just an analogy.

He is almost catching up with the Chinese teacher, and he is not Lu Xun, so it is necessary to get to the bottom of every sentence.

"Of course there is. A lot of foreign trade export companies want the RMB to depreciate. Didn't you see the Federal Reserve deliberately wanting to appreciate the RMB?" Li Qian finally came up with a reasonable argument.

"But why?" Deng Chao's doubts became more serious.

"Because" Li Qian carefully talked about international trade.

"I see."

Suddenly, the three understood the pros and cons of RMB appreciation.

But Deng Chao spread his hands and asked with a strange expression, "Why do we talk about international trade in the early morning?"

Tong Liya said unhappily, "You have to ask yourself."

"I asked?"

"It's you."

"Maybe it's because I ate too much in the morning."

"" Deng Chao was depressed.

Tong Liya comforted, "Brother Chao, as soon as I came back yesterday, I went to the cinema to watch "When Happiness Comes Knocking on the Door" in the afternoon. You acted so well, you are more like your own father."

Why did he mention this again? Li Qian was worried that Deng Chao would feel uncomfortable when he thought of his dead father, so he joked, "It's just acting. Zhang Hanyu played his father before, and he acted like a father and son."

Deng Chao's face immediately collapsed, "Can I stop mentioning it?"

"Ha ha"

Li Qian tried his best not to laugh, and said, "That's enough, let's stop talking, you should get busy, don't make the audience of the road show wait too long."

The two of them still have a road show. Feature films are more important to publicity. After all, it is not a blockbuster film, and it can attract audiences by relying on big production and big scenes.

The hot screening of "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" brought the summer file back to the familiar scene dominated by domestic films, and the popularity was much higher than that of "Pacific Rim" in July.

After all, it was just a Hollywood popcorn movie. The popularity of the movie on the Internet was not as high as the criticism of the heroine Jing Tian.

However, the film market in August is not only "When Happiness Comes Knocking on the Door", but also "Tiny Times: Aoki Era" was released on the same day.

Two episodes of this series were shot continuously. The first Liu Yue sold more than 4 million yuan. Leshi struck while the iron was hot, and the second part was released in August.

The second part of the big bad movie was filmed together, basically the same as the first part.

Before the film was released, the Federation of Literary and Art Circles, the Film Association, as well as a group of filmmakers and film critics called on audiences and theaters to boycott the second film.

However, it was useless. The second part still sold 5400 million on the first day, 4300 million higher than the 1100 million on the first day of "When Happiness Knocks on the Door".

With the reputation of the first movie so bad, the second movie was able to sell more than 5000 million yuan, which was a solid slap in the face of most people in the industry.

However, the criticism and scolding he faced became more and more intense.

Fans of "Tiny Times" also displayed a strong fighting capacity. On the Internet, especially on Weibo, they fought with filmmakers and film critics from all walks of life.

Famous film critic Zhou Liming posted on Weibo, saying that most fans of "Little Times" want to afford the things in the film and live the life in the film, so they have to obediently find "old things" to be the third, fourth, and fifth. Only possible, this is the hidden value of the film.

As a result, I was immediately besieged by fans: You count that onion, don’t be jealous all the time, do you think you can make a movie, do you think you have the money to create a movie called "Little Times" by yourself, you are old , I don’t deserve to live in this new era!

To be honest, Li Qian was quite amusing reading the comments of these fans, there are too many talents in it.

Fans also said that Mo Yan stole Guo Jinming's Nobel Prize for Literature.

Even, the movie was blown up to the sky: I think "Tiny Times" can be regarded as a magical film. The narrative structure of this movie is extremely excellent, and it completely exploded "Pulp"; the use of colors to the extreme overturned "Red Desert"; The long shot is beautiful, far away from "I Am Cuba"; the editing is so good that it makes "Exhausted" look childish and ridiculous; the expressiveness of the realistic part makes "The Bicycle Thief" eclipsed; " has become an undisputed scum; the use of sound and picture made "Last Year in Marienbad" bow its head severely; the theme is so profound that "2001 A Space Odyssey" seems superficial and artificial.
