Chapter 277: The box office is mediocre, but word of mouth explodes
After Zhang Xiao finished speaking, another reporter came out and asked: "Xiao Shen, it seems that you haven't relied on Teacher Wu Gang and Teacher Yingda yet!"
Zhang Fan glanced at the two veteran actors and said: "Does the teacher still need to evaluate this? It's a good performance. If you don't perform well, I will deduct the salary!"
At this time, Wu Gang stood up and said, "You all understand now. From what Director Zhang said, you can imagine how miserable Teacher Yingda and I were on the crew."
Zhang Xiao said with a smile: "Teacher Wu, before you say this, you'd better think carefully. Don't forget, I will also give out red envelopes."
Hearing Zhang Xiao's words, Teacher Yingda reacted the fastest and said immediately: "I think Director Zhang takes good care of me. I feel very comfortable in the crew."
"Teacher Ying, can we show some respect?" Wu Gang looked at Ying Da angrily and said.
Yingda said without hesitation: "What does face mean in front of red envelopes?"
"Pfft!"
"Hahaha!"
Everyone at the scene burst into laughter.
Almost at the same time, the screening of "The Cook, the Actor, the Scoundrel" also ended.
The response at the scene was also pretty good, with many film critics stating in person that they would give this movie at least an eight-point score, which finally put the stone hanging in the heart of this great director at ease.
Chen Gang patted Guan Hu on the shoulder and said, "Huzi, congratulations, you succeeded."
"Thank you, Director Chen." Guan Hu said with a smile.
During the interview, Chen Gang praised Guan Hu's movie, and at the same time, he also took out Zhang Xiao's "The Wind" and gave it a hard kick.
The movie "The Cook, the Actor, the Scoundrel" was filmed so well, which gave Chen Gang so much confidence that his words became even more unpleasant than before, which made many celebrities who came to support him frown.
A reporter who is a fan of Zhang Xiao asked: "Director Chen, I just received a call from a friend. He said that the movie "The Wind" is very good and is the best spy movie in recent years."
"If "The Wind" is better than the movie "The Cook, the Actor, the Scoundrel", will you apologize to Zhang Xiao for your words?"
After hearing what this reporter said, Chen Gang's expression changed and he said, "You are a fan of Zhang Xiao, right?"
The reporter answered truthfully: "I am a fan of his. I like every movie of Zhang Xiao very much."
Chen Gang glanced at it and said calmly: "Movie fans are too subjective. I won't answer your question."
However, the reporter asked tit for tat: "You don't know how to answer or you don't dare to answer?"
Chen Gang immediately became furious and said, "What exactly do you want to say?"
The reporter said calmly: "I just want to ask you when exactly you will transfer the 100 million donation to the Red Cross account in Zhang Xiao's name."
As soon as this question came out, it seemed to step on Chen Gang's tail, making him furious and scolded: "Which unit are you a reporter from?"
In response to Chen Gang's scolding, the reporter did not panic at all and said calmly: "Yuzhou Evening News, Director Chen, do you want to retaliate against me?"
At this moment, everyone looked at Chen Gang uniformly.
Chen Gang glanced fiercely and said: "I won't answer any questions other than the movie "The Cook, the Actor, the Scoundrel". Well, I have something else to do. Goodbye!"
After saying that, he left in the car in the eyes of everyone with disdain.
"Tch, why are you pulling?"
"That's right, he talks like he's farting, and he thinks he's awesome!"
"Compared with Xiao Shen, he is a scumbag!"
"Please don't compare this kind of garbage with Xiao Shen. This is an insult to Xiao Shen."
"Yes, Xiao Shen has donated more than 2 billion to the Red Cross this year. Two hundred Hope Primary Schools have been built at the same time that poverty has disappeared. What about him? He doesn't recognize the money he loses in bets. That's not true at all.
A man."
"Let's go and watch "The Wind". I heard Xiao Shen's trinity movie is very good!"
“···”
The next day, the first-day box office of "The Wind" was released, and it was only 53 million. The results could only be regarded as average, but its reputation immediately exploded.
More than 20,000 people gave the movie "The Wind" a high score of 9.1 on the Department of Culture's professional film review website.
""The Wind" is a good domestic spy movie!"
"If the main theme movies were like "The Wind", then this theme would have exploded long ago."
"Xiao Shen is still awesome. The first Trinity movie was so successful."
"The acting skills of Mimi and Reba were also great, especially Mimi's last monologue, which made me, a grown man, cry."
"My dear people, I am so ruthless to you because the nation is on the verge of survival, and we can only risk our lives to save ourselves. My God, this line is simply great."
"I declare that "The Wind" is the best spy movie, bar none."
"I have watched both "The Wind" and "The Cook, the Actor, the Scoundrel". The latter one is considered excellent, but the first one is definitely a classic."
"I agree with the point above."
“···”
For a time, movie fans on the Internet expressed their opinions one after another.
When "The Wind" received a very high score of 9.1, "The Cook, Actor, and Scoundrel" also received a pretty good score, but it was far behind the two, with only a score of 7.9.
I was very happy to see that my movie's box office reached 85 million, which was 32 million more than "The Wind", but after seeing the ratings of "The Wind", I couldn't laugh anymore.
As a director, he knows very well what it means for a movie to get a super high score of 9.1 on the Ministry of Culture's film review website.
Guan Guan immediately asked his assistant to buy a movie ticket for "The Wind", disguised himself, and sneaked into a movie theater secretly.
After he finished watching the movie, Guan Hu came out in despair.
The gap is so visible to the naked eye!
Compared with his own film "The Cook, the Actor, the Scoundrel", he had to admit that "The Wind" was indeed much better.
Sometimes he even suspected that this was not shot by Zhang Xiao at all, but the work of a certain international director.
Coincidentally, Huang Bai also watched the movie "The Wind" in a cinema.
After returning home, he called Zhang Xiao.
"Director Zhang Da, I'm convinced, your filming of "The Wind" is really awesome!"
Zhang Xiao, who received the call, smiled and said: "As the star of "The Cook, the Actor, the Scoundrel", you actually went to watch a competitor's movie. If word of this spreads, it will not be good for your reputation as an actor."
!”
Huang Bai said carelessly: "I didn't do any publicity for you, they have nothing to do with it."
Not only Huang Bai, but other celebrities and artists also called Zhang Fan to congratulate him.
