Chapter 423
Turnaround
On the screen, Philip and his friend were chatting, and it turned out that Philip's friend asked Philip to come out. At this time, Diss was waiting outside.
Philip's friends are very worried about the diss that Philip has invited and want to persuade Philip.
"I went to the Ministry of Justice to talk to Siff. Although he is not quite like Meslin (the French thief with many faces), his file is quite rich. He just finished six months in prison for robbing a jewelry store.
.If he could do the job, it would be reasonable, but obviously he doesn’t know anything. You have to worry, people who come out of the slums don’t have much sympathy.”
But Philip didn't see it that way. In response to the warning from his friend in front of him, Philip said what he was thinking.
"That's it. That's all I want, no sympathy. He always hands me the phone, you know why? Because he forgets that I can't move. Indeed, he has no mercy for me, he just wants to be taller
He is tall, has arms and legs, can think normally, is in good health, and the rest... Now, as you said, in my current state, I don't care about his past at all."
The eyes of the audience in the theater were brightened. It turned out that the two worlds came together like this.
From the trailer of "Untouchable", many people wondered, how could a wealthy aristocrat become friends with a person who came out of prison and lived at the bottom of society and develop an incredible friendship?
This sounds ideal and dreamy, but is there really such a thing in real life?
In the trailer of "Untouchable", many people on the Internet were complaining. Can such a film really attract audiences to watch it in the theater?
A movie like this probably won’t even be able to recoup its cost, right?
On Yahoo, although the trailer of "Untouchable" still has more than one million views, most netizens are not optimistic about Zhou Shaoming making such a movie.
When Semel was the CEO of Yahoo, he proposed the direction of Yahoo's development and suggested building a digital Disneyland.
With the continuous development of Yahoo over the past two years, it has still developed into an omnipotent theme park in the Internet era covering news, movies, music, sports, games, etc. to meet any demand on the Internet.
Very early on, Yahoo had already formed an alliance with Flame Movies, Art Troupe Movies, and Fox to provide free services such as trailers and behind-the-scenes of movies and TV series online. Online pre-sale movie tickets were subsequently launched.
This format has quietly become a model in North America. However, at that time in China, it still mainly relied on theater ticket sales.
When the trailer for "Untouchable" was released, there were basically no movie tickets for sale online. For such a movie, many viewers had a wait-and-see attitude.
People began to queue up in front of 3,225 theaters in North America. On the night of February 24, more people chose to watch the film "Untouchable".
On Yahoo, showyounself and other websites, I saw very high reviews for "Untouchable". For the audience, it is a pleasure for the audience to enjoy such a lighthearted and funny movie with such a connotative plot.
matter.
"Two tickets to the movie "Untouchable."
When outsiders were speculating that Zhou Shaoming would make a big comeback in the movie "Untouchable", this movie started to come back to life because it was recognized by the audience.
In the evening, "Untouchable" at the entrance of 3225 theaters has been sold out in advance. This is also the time slot for the last show of "Untouchable" on the day of its premiere. It is also the case that the movie tickets were sold out all at once on the day of the premiere.
The subsequent outbreak made "Untouchable", which had been mediocre and somewhat sluggish, begin to gain vitality. Faced with a relaxed and meaningful comedy, the audience's attention and recognition were not high at the beginning, but that was
imaginary.
But after the movie was released, when people entered the theater with popcorn, Coke, and milk tea, under the compact plot, the unexaggerated funny shots, and the relaxing music background, they began to gradually become interested in "Untouchable"
There is deep recognition.
"It's worth savoring." Such voices kept coming from the audience.
Others said excitedly: "It seems that my friend really didn't do anything good. I thought Smith Chow could only shoot small and shocking blockbusters such as "Saw". For this literary film
, I like it even more. Movies with this kind of atmosphere and more connotation are really worthy of our contemplation.”
Yes, Zhou Shaoming, who has always been in commercial films, can't help but smile at this time. This is the desired effect for this movie.
It's not about such a hot box office performance. For a comedy like this, Zhou Shaoming originally planned that the occupancy rate of such a movie theater could reach 40%, which is already a lot.
Of course, after all, this is a movie produced by Supernova Entertainment Film and Television Company, which spent a lot of money on filming and promotional videos. Zhou Shaoming is looking forward to better box office results so that many audiences can see this kind of movie.
"Untouchable", which has appeared on major radio stations in North America, undoubtedly boosted "Untouchable"'s premiere box office performance at the most critical moment.
At the premiere of the last scene of "Untouchable", the movie tickets had already been sold out, and some of them hurried to the box office when they heard that the ticket lady didn't have any movie tickets.
I couldn't help but regret why I wasted my time on the road, why I didn't listen to my friends and came to the theater early. I always thought that I would have some remaining movie tickets for this comedy movie until the end.
When I came to the entrance of the theater with such an audience's mentality, I couldn't help but be disappointed. After watching other people entering the theater one after another, I felt a sense of envy and jealousy.
However, for a film like "Untouchable", it is impossible for Supernova Entertainment to increase the number of screenings, and it is impossible to change the last screening at 10:30 tonight.
Many people then asked the ticket sales lady about the screening time of "Untouchable" the next day. When they heard that there was no screening time in the evening, they directly said to the ticket sales lady: What a shame, how could such a movie not be released at night? Oh my god during the day.
Do you have time to see it?
At this time, the ticket sales lady was very angry. She went to see so many spectators at once and asked questions. She kept cursing in her heart: You Xingpa spectators, what are you doing so early? You don’t know anything clearly.
, rushed over and blamed this and that.
Hearing the constant complaints from the crowd around her, even the ticket sales lady couldn't help but close the ticket window and hide inside to have a rest.
Del, senior filmmaker of Washington Stamps, said this: For Smith Zhou, who has always led a luxurious lineup and shot blockbusters with investment of hundreds of millions, this time is really an eye-opener. His directorial talent is completely reflected in this "Unable to...
I got the experience in "Untouchable". Some people say that after the release of "Untouchable", even the investment funds will not be recovered. Some people predict that this will be Smith's first heavy wrestling. But for these people, Smith
Zhou may have disappointed these people again this time. No, there is something worth saying. It should include me. I don’t like to follow the trend. At that time, I just expressed my own thoughts. But in the current form, it seems
, Smith Chow's "Untouchable" should easily earn hundreds of millions at the box office. With such results, you can definitely experience such an outstanding literary comedy.
When Del wrote the review, it had not yet reached the final release of "Untouchable". Perhaps even Del never dreamed that the explosion of popularity after "Untouchable" would be so powerful.
Many people on Yahoo lamented that after turning around on the street with their loved ones, they originally went to the theater to watch "Untouchable", only to find that the movie tickets in the theater were sold out.
What is going on? Many people at Yahoo are asking why Yahoo did not sell the "Untouchable" video online this time.
This was something that surprised Zhou Shaoming, because after all, this movie was unlikely to be as good as the previous blockbusters. As the online ticket sales went bad, Zhou Shaoming decided to skip it.
However, Zhou Shaoming was still shocked. It was a wrong decision not to listen to Qiaoen's advice.
There are 425 seats in 3225 theaters for the screening of "Untouchable". On the day of the premiere, less than half of the occupancy rate was basically occupied for each show.
Sometimes the attendance rate is poor. From time to time, some audience members leave just looking at it.
When the theater owner saw this scene, he couldn't help but take a deep breath. It seemed that the previous decision was correct, with such a box office rate. Audiences were constantly losing, and it seemed that not choosing "Untouchable" was still correct.
Faced with a two-month box office war, theater bosses are still focusing on films such as "The Passion of the Christ" released by New Entertainment Company, as well as films produced by some film and television giants such as Warner Bros.
For Supernova Entertainment Film and Television Company, "Untouchable", a film adapted from real people and produced under the leadership of Zhou Shaoming, is undoubtedly a film adapted from real people in the eyes of many senior people in the film industry.
Yes, art is beautiful, but art fills the stomach and cannot serve as a hamburger.
From the perspective of theater owners, theaters are open just to make a profit, and it is impossible to green light a movie with an artistic title.
Zhou Shaoming was willing to lead Supernova Entertainment Film and Television Company to make such a film and lose money, but the theater owners were unwilling to follow suit.
Although it has been a pleasure to cooperate with Supernova Entertainment Film and Television Company, in their view, the movies produced by Zhou Shaoming are guaranteed to box office.
But this time, in their opinion, the myth can no longer continue. Because this time Zhou Shaoming seemed to be impetuous, and in a hurry, he actually led a group of young teams to embark on a terrifying and ignorant movie adventure.
Who is François Crouse? The French bearded man? Haha, do you want to use an image that is hotly discussed on the Internet to increase the box office performance of this movie? Is someone secretly dreaming?
Can Omar Hee's black face win box office results? Does it mean that when he grins and shows his white teeth, the audience has to dig deep into their pockets to watch a movie like this?
There are no luxurious scenes, only plain shots, and no exaggerated feelings that make people laugh. It always feels like a subtle and connotative smile.
However, this kind of film is not for the general public. Smith Zhou, after this experience, I hope you can return to the right path and make your own commercial blockbusters. This is the idea of the theater bosses.
For theaters, profit is more important. In major theaters, theater owners cannot exaggerate the box office results of "Untouchable" just for the sake of Zhou Shaoming's previous halo.
For such a film that is not suitable for the public's taste, the theater owners did not think much of it at all, and the reality was also the same. The occupancy rate of this film did not rise to 50% until the evening break.
In the eyes of the outside world, the attendance rate for one of Zhou Shaoming's movies only reached 50%, which is too low. How could such a result be possible for a movie shot by Zhou Shaoming?
However, theater owners who have been in the film industry for many years have finally seen the clues. In fact, for such a movie, with such a box office rate, it is already a pretty good result.
At first, I estimated that this movie would not even reach the box office of 10 million, but from this point of view, "Untouchable" can easily break the 10 million box office mark.
For theater owners, this is not a very strange thing, because Smith Zhou has extremely popular movies, but it is a pity that he got carried away this time. He chose the wrong subject and actually shot a real-life story. There will be such a movie
From many people's perspective, it is better to make some logical commercial films that are rare or impossible to appear in life. This is the normal path.
A theater owner wrote in amazement on the Internet at 11 o'clock in the evening: The movie "Untouchable" brought by Mr. Smith Zhou is actually going to be incredible. Such box office results still surprise me. For someone who has been working in the film industry,
And at my age, I started to serve in the film industry. I remember when Mr. Smith Zhou brought his newly shot movies every time.
Do you still remember movies like "Saw"? When the audience came to watch it in my theater, the screaming scene in the theater still reminds me of it and I will never forget it.
Do you still remember "I Am Legend"? A shocking and shocking scene that made the audience applaud. The box office performance on the day of its premiere jumped to 80 million. Such a result. There are several movies in North America that can box office
Physically comparable.
There is also the recent release of "The Fuse", which has touching scenes that make people think, and makes people excited to watch it. The film has still become one of the most popular films in the world.
But in this "Untouchable", too many life scenes are boring. Perhaps Smith wanted to experience more things to impress the audience. But he forgot that the audience comes to the theater just to relax. In I have always been engaged in service movies
The industry knows this very well.
Without a comfortable environment, how could the audience spend money to come to my theater to watch a movie? But Smith Zhou's hurried filming seemed to violate this principle. But now it seems that the audience's appetite for watching movies seems to have disappeared.
changed.
This kind of film like "Untouchable" has no gorgeous scenes, but shocking and shocking shots, and it has become a blockbuster movie in the film industry.
The movie's occupancy rate reached over 90%, and more viewers gathered at the entrance of their theaters, requesting an additional screening of "Untouchable". However, such a request was rejected by Supernova Entertainment Film and Television Company.
This is what I want to break the news. I want to say sorry to the theater audiences who have supported me for many years. Since I signed a contract with "Untouchable" from the beginning, this film is different from other films. Therefore, the number of screenings
It has been firmly stipulated. If it is changed at will, the contract will have to be changed. This is not an easy thing.
Finally, I am still looking forward to the box office performance of "Untouchable". It may be criticized by fans who support this movie, but as a theater owner, the quality of a movie completely depends on its box office performance. Smith Weekly
The director has impressed me deeply, as if his films have become a benchmark. The popularity of a film depends on the audience's recognition, and the audience's enthusiasm is the sign of a successful film director.
On the screen in the theater, Diss served Philip, a rich man who was disabled due to an accident. But there is no such thing as a banquet. When Diss's younger brother came to Diss, there was a problem that Diss had to solve.
Diss explained everything to Philip, Diss's true life experience, and that Diss, who was born as an orphan, never gave up on life.
Philip was deeply shocked by diss. He thought that he had started to give up on himself just because of an accident. Compared with diss, Philip felt that he was so lucky. He must not have to worry about running around for life at the end of his life.
The bottom is struggling.
Yes, Philip had some realizations. Although he seemed to be dissing a person with a careless appearance, such a person had a strong will, but he seemed a bit of a coward.
Philip agreed to diss's request and was willing to let diss get the security fund for social undertakings.
Diss left Philip's side. After solving his brother's troubles, he began to have the confidence to find his own job in society and no longer relied on social welfare funds to live.
Diss, who was next to Philip, was also deeply infected by Philip. Philip's persistent thoughts and meticulous attitude towards life completely changed Diss.
Yes, it seems that diss is just a caregiver around Philip. When diss walked out of Philip's house and came to a company, he completely showed a rare confidence and understanding.
Yes, Philip completely influenced diss, and diss brought Philip a kind of care and friendship that he had experienced from taste. Sparks were created between the two in every step of their lives. People from two worlds really
