Chapter 386 How can I apologize to myself?(1/2)
Author: Yuan Le
Why is the box office of such a well-received blockbuster as "The Palace Banquet" not as high as that of a controversial movie such as "The Legend of East and West"?
This probably has something to do with the type of movie.
"The Palace Banquet" is a historical conspiracy blockbuster.
The story revolves around a palace banquet, with ups and downs and exciting plot.
Conspiracies and calculations fill the entire film.
The process and results of the struggle for power and gain are naturally inseparable from tragedy.
This type of film is not popular during the Spring Festival.
Of course, changing the schedule may not necessarily make you happy.
This movie has a good reputation and is a rare masterpiece, but it obviously has not yet reached the level of a classic.
Movie fans are not that enthusiastic.
"East and West" is different, the topic is too hot.
It is highly controversial and naturally arouses the curiosity of movie fans.
The most important thing is that this film can make people feel happy.
Even those who clamored for Zhang Sheng to apologize to Yuan Le had to admit that they laughed while watching this movie.
A movie that makes people laugh, it is naturally a favorite during the Spring Festival.
Even if the reputation is bad.
Soon, the reputation of "East and West" was not bad, but it was very controversial.
The ratings of this movie on movie websites are almost as high as those of "The Palace Banquet".
The first day's box office is out, and the estimated box office of "East and West" is infinitely close to that of "The Palace Banquet".
However, it has not exceeded that.
The box office appeal of "East and West" is too strong.
Whether it's a director or an actor.
All-stars are in the lineup and their fan base is huge.
It seems understandable that it won the first place at the box office on the first day.
How the movie's box office fares in the end depends on its box office durability.
Not many people are optimistic about the box office longevity of "East and West".
However, those who were not optimistic were quickly slapped in the face.
Because on the second day, "East and West" continued to be the single-day box office champion with a single-day box office of nearly 300 million.
Although the box office dropped a bit compared to the first day.
But among the films released during the Spring Festival, there were really no two films that saw box office growth on the second day of release.
"Palace Banquet" also declined.
And the magnitude of the decline is even greater than that of "Dong Cheng Xi Jie".
The cumulative box office of "East and West" has exceeded 600 million in two days, and the estimated box office exceeds that of "Palace Banquet" and is close to the 2 billion mark.
At the beginning, the estimated box office of the movie "East and West" was only over 500 million.
The market is not optimistic about this movie.
After it was released, the number increased by one billion in one day.
Now it has increased by hundreds of millions.
The increase is so large that it is jaw-dropping.
The estimated box office has doubled. Is this a slap in the face?
Zhang Sheng once again made a comeback despite not being favored.
"What Happens" continues to be the single-day box office champion. It is obviously popular and stable.
The film also immediately ranked first in the film schedule.
It is not difficult to see from the real-time online box office that it is already impossible for "Palace Banquet" to overtake.
"Palace Banquet" lost to "East and West", and some media wanted to stir up trouble.
However, Sun Yihai was not fooled.
Did you lose?
Losing at the box office obviously doesn't count as a loss.
Judging from the box office response of "The Palace Banquet", it is obvious that this movie will not lose money and will make a lot of money.
Maybe it won't be as profitable as "East Comes West".
But if you earn less, you lose?
Obviously not.
What's more, Sun Yihai is not someone who cannot afford to lose.
Zhang Sheng is no longer unknown now.
The director with the highest cumulative box office in China is now Zhang Sheng.
It would not be a shame to lose to him at the box office.
Who among the people who meet him in the circle has not won?
For a person who can earn hundreds of millions of dollars at the box office in North America, is it any wonder that his movies have high box office?
Even though he only had three months from filming to production of this movie.
Why do movies that are released have to be bad movies?
What's more, Zhang Sheng is not just a director.
He is also the boss of Changsheng Entertainment.
In today's industry, the bosses of top film and television companies will not look down upon Zhang Sheng, let alone mess with him.
He, Sun Yihai, is a director. How can he be stubborn?
He is not that idiot Tao Haiyuan.
Not only was Sun Yihai not fooled, he was full of praise for Zhang Sheng.
As for the movie "What Happens", he has not seen it, so he has not commented on it, but he said that fans like it, so it is naturally unique.
Zhang Sheng naturally reciprocated the favor.
Sun Yihai still has a good reputation in the industry.
Of course, the most important thing is that Zhang Sheng has always been kind to others.
Unless someone messes with him.
Sun Yihai didn't mess with him, so he wouldn't look for trouble.
Face is given to each other.
"Are you Yungle?"
Gu Sisi looked at Zhang Sheng with some evil eyes and asked.
"Yes!" Zhang Sheng said, "Didn't I tell you before? Why do you suddenly ask this?"
When Gu Sisi heard this, she didn't know what to say.
The anger he was holding back was swallowed into his stomach.
The momentum of the questioning suddenly weakened.
Zhang Sheng did tell her before, but she didn't believe it at all.
When they get along, they both leave space for each other.
It's not that Zhang Sheng didn't write anything when Gu Sisi was there, it's just that Gu Sisi didn't pay attention at all.
She hadn't even looked at Zhang Sheng's cell phone, so how could she go to the study to look at his computer.
What's more, the two are now just boyfriend and girlfriend, not husband and wife.
If it involves some secrets of Changsheng Entertainment, it would not be appropriate for her to read it.
Of course, there is another reason.
That is, they spend less time together and more separation, and rarely talk about these things when they are together.
"Didn't Director Jiang go to see our movie and give it a very high rating?" Gu Sisi said, "Then, he attended an event and a reporter asked him what he thought about the online request for you to apologize to Yuan Le.
