Chapter 43 The Controversy
The film industry is very realistic. If you dominate the family, there will definitely be many "friendly troops" that are unhappy.
After all, you are all occupied by you, so the key is that we don’t even let us drink the soup.
They never reflect on whether their movies are not good enough, or why your movies can be sold well, whether it is something worth learning from, etc. In the eyes of "friends", since I am bad and my box office is low, then you should also have a low box office, and it should be bad, so that everyone can be harmonious!
Therefore, there will definitely be some negative news as a movie has a huge box office.
This is even more true for Chen Lin’s movie.
When "The Veteran in Chinatown" was released, many people said that Chen Lin plagiarized the Chenlong Kung Fu comedy;
"My Girls' Generation" was criticized for repeating herself;
"Interstellar" is almost overwhelming, and it is said to be a Hollywood movie, not a domestic movie;
"Tian" was interpreted as a pure commercial film, saying that he cheated the audience of money!
Well, Chen Lin endured it, there was no way to bear it. Netizens talked about it and couldn’t let everyone accept you. You are not RMB!
Now this "Operation Mekong" is released, and it is a head-on fight against "Avengers 2", achieving an overwhelming victory!
It is definitely a good thing to inspire domestic movies.
Chen Lin also won the Palme d'Or, and only two directors in China have obtained it.
Logically speaking, these people probably can't find a reason to attack themselves.
Haha, I can only say I think too much!
"The movie is so bloody, why not cut some shots?"
"The General Administration approved the release of such a movie? The scale is too large. When I watched it in the cinema, I really doubted my eyes, especially a 5-year-old child sitting next to me!"
"The characters are so stereotyped. Basically, as long as I see a few characters, I can guess the ending! I really don't understand why so many people praise such a movie?"
"It is highly recommended that Director Chen Lin learn about the American TV series "Breaking Bad" and "Drug Lord"! Alas! I guess it is unlikely! We are too far from the production level of American movies and American TV series!"
After three days of release, a lot of complaints appeared on Weibo and marketing official accounts.
Although Chen Lin is busy with publicity, he always pays attention to the reputation of the movie and the reputation of the Internet.
Fortunately, although there are a lot of public intellectuals, most of the audience have a good reputation and their Douban scores have exceeded 8 points.
When the box office of the movie exceeded 1.2 billion, some "friendly troops" could no longer bear it. Criticism appeared on Weibo again, and the wave was very surging, targeting not only "Operation Mekong", but also director Chen Lin!
"Haha, the representative work of Chen Lin, the new director of Bayi Studio!"
"Chen Lin is so awesome now that he has become the official director!"
"A big bad movie with political correctness! No explanation!"
Chen Lin couldn't help it anymore!
I replied directly on Weibo: "First, before the movie was released, we clearly wrote on the poster, 'This movie is not suitable for children under the age of 13. Parents must remember!' There is no censorship system in the country, so I can't arrange people to guard every cinema, right? Second: You are the ones who complain that domestic movies are too small, you are the ones who dislike the big scissors and randomly delete the shots. Now you say that "Mekong" is too bloody? What logic?"
"Also, why am I the official director? And why is political correctness equated with bad movies? Before filming of every major Hollywood production starts, there is a rule called political correctness. Why don't you say they are political correct? A group of self-righteous people really think they know everything? You admire the United States so much, why don't you immigrate? You even let me learn American dramas. Are you stupid? "Breaking Bad" is my work, and I learn from myself?"
It would be fine if he didn't speak, but once he spoke, someone immediately started to "dispute" with him.
A group of public intellectuals wrote on their Weibo: "Let's talk about the most basic facts: the person is a China-Laos cooperation in Laos. The Lao lover's home was arrested by the Lao security forces and extradited to the Chinese government. The people sent by China did not fire a single shot overseas, and they even brag about the Basic Law!"
"Operation Mekong is full of secondary school!"
Looking at these public intellectuals’ various provocative words, Chen Lin continued to update two articles on Weibo: "When we were shooting the movie, we spent a week in Xishuangbanna. The local boatman proudly told me, "No one on the Mekong River dares to bully the ship with the Chinese flag anymore!", which is still vivid in my mind. So, promoting the national prestige and police prestige is not a fantasy, but based on the facts?"
"Please open your eyes and look at the world. The whole world is willing to admit that China is a powerful country. Only you people think that China is naturally inferior and looks like a slave! Also, I know better how to shoot a movie than you!"
...
"Why are you going to compete with them? Isn't our movies selling well?"
In the capital, the courtyard, Zhao Liying was eating apples while looking at Chen Lin’s Weibo: “I think you are idle!”
"I just want to educate these people more. I always feel that the moon in foreign countries is rounder and the air in foreign countries is sweet!"
Chen Lin said and opened his mouth by the way. Liying stuffed a small piece of apple in a tacit understanding.
"Besides, as "Jurassic World" is about to be released, it always has to be a hot topic, and publicity needs to be promoted!"
This sentence is the truth.
"Operation Mekong" Chen Lin signed a step-by-step box office share, with a box office of over 500 million yuan. He can get the most basic director's reward, 2000 million yuan!
More than 100 million yuan, in addition to director’s pay, there is still 5% of the box office share;
More than 1.5 billion, eight percent;
If it exceeds 200 million, then 10% will be;
After 20 billion, every 100 million yuan will increase the share of 0.5%.
The box office is now 1.8 billion, so of course we have to work hard to push the domestic box office to 200 million in the shortest time!
Yu Dong has sold the overseas copyright of Operation Mekong almost all. Relying on the reputation Chen Lin has gained in recent years, he successfully sold nearly 3.50,000 US dollars!
In addition, the dVd copyright and online video copyright have already recovered before the movie was released.
Having a famous director or superstar franchise has a great effect on the sale of copyrights from other places.
For example, Li Lianjie's "Huo Yuanjia" sold $1.80,000 overseas for "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" and sold $1.50,000, which was the name of Li Lianjie.
Zhao Liying has been very busy these days. Although she is not going to be promoting the whole country like Chen Lin, she is already the number one young generation who has won the Cannes Film Festival. How could the studio give up such a good opportunity to promote (make money)?
Even if she wants, the advertiser won't allow it!
