Chapter 652 Comfort Me?
Shen Xudong... is very busy.
Busy watching TV…
In the afternoon, he followed Boss Chen to Lan Club. He didn't want to meet anyone, let alone be known by anyone.
The plan is to simply have a meal with Boss Chen and then go home...
A lot of things!
I have a few activities to attend tomorrow, and a meeting at the film bureau the day after tomorrow...
Everyone knew he was back, so he had a lot of schedules that he couldn't push away at all.
The plan couldn't keep up with the changes. After dinner...Boss Chen invited him to play billiards. In fact, Shen Xudong was not very good at billiards, but Lan Club only had a billiards hall, so he knew a little bit.
Chess and card room, SPA room, beauty room...
In the chess and card room, he only knows how to play Landlord, and others play Texas Hold'em...
SPA hall and beauty room, Shen Xudong doesn't usually put on makeup, why go in there?
He entered the billiards hall and played two rounds with Boss Chen, and then...went to the singing room with a few people. Later, he left with two tall girls...
There's nothing you can do about it. In this situation, you can't leave without someone.
The two girls are both professional models, and they would make temporary guest appearances in such business activities, at least that's what they told Shen Xudong.
Xudong originally wanted to spread positive energy, but I heard... they charge a fee.
He immediately lost his mind.
Although Xudong is not a good person, he still has a bottom line. He will not do the charging thing.
What if I get hit by the waves?
Not impossible.
Besides, it wasn’t like he had no goals. When he got home, he called Da Meiyuan, whom he met at the premiere...
Make an appointment to discuss art or something.
Unfortunately, Da Meiyuan left the capital.
Went to Hong Kong to shoot a movie!
Then, Xudong might as well watch TV...
When Xudong received a call from Teacher Yu, he just finished taking a shower and really stubbed his toe.
Of course, the main reason for the pause was because he didn't care much about "Love Has an Afterlife"...
I almost forgot about this movie.
I decisively turned on my computer and started reading the related reports of "Love Has an Afterlife". Sure enough, the first article was "Compared with Li Min in "Lust, Caution", Yu Feihong really understands women better!" ’
And then: Is love the naked "Lust, Caution" or the moist and silent "Love Has an Afterlife"?
Gee, the publicity and distribution department is so shameless, just using "Lust, Caution" for marketing purposes.
I like!
I clicked on my phone and checked the box office again...
4.3 million on the first day. It is estimated that the publicity should be based on 5 million...
But even with 5 million on the first day, it still set a record for the lowest opening of a movie written by Shen Xudong in the past two years.
In Shen Xudong's personal forum, many people discussed "Love Has an Afterlife".
Many voices, but unanimous opinion: It is not like the work written by Shen Xudong!
It really doesn't look like it.
The information density of "Love Has an Afterlife" is very low. Most of the works written by Shen Xudong are full of strong plots, with a lot of overt and hidden lines.
"Love Has an Afterlife" is just one line...
Many film critics have also mentioned this: "Love Has an Afterlife" is definitely Yu Feihong's work!
They are criticizing the poster and propaganda star Shen Xudong...
But...if you don't focus on Shen Xudong, "Love Has Afterlife" will have no selling point at all!
Clicking on the mailbox, Shen Xudong took a look at the statistics - compared with the evaluation, the data was more intuitive.
Yesterday's market price was close to 27 million, and the four movies... were evenly divided, and there was no situation where one company was dominant...
The reputation of "Yangtze River No. 7" is not good, and pirated copies are flowing out too quickly...
To put it simply: After "Yangtze River No. 7" was released, it received a flood of negative reviews, and rumors that Zhou Xing had exhausted his talents were rampant.
The famous Internet writer He Caitou wrote an article "Don't come to me after you become a good person" to express his disappointment with Zhou Xingchi.
On the surface, "Yangtze River No. 7" is "Doraemon"...
Zhou Xiaodi has poor grades and is bullied by her classmates. The cute alien Qizai comes to brighten Zhou Xiaodi's life.
But as the plot develops, an extremely strange point appears in the whole story: the film is called "Yangtze River No. 7", but Qizai had almost no impact on the development of the plot until he rescued Zhou Tie at the end.
Shen Xudong likes "Yangtze River No. 7" very much. He has always felt that the plot of "Yangtze River No. 7" is as follows: Zhou Tie, a single father of a migrant worker, works hard to support his son Zhou Xiaodi in a good school. However, Zhou Xiaodi has poor academic performance in school and has been banned for a long time. Bullied by his classmates and disliked by some teachers, he is lonely and has low self-esteem. Only Meijiao, who is also rejected, is willing to be his friend.
When his classmates have trendy toys, he can only envy them.
Living like this for a long time made the child full of hatred for the school. He imagined that one day he would get divine power and destroy everything to pieces.
One day, he picked up a puppet and imagined that the puppet was a little friend sent by God to help him. He prayed to the puppet for superpowers, but this did not change his fate of being bullied at school. In anger, he threw away the puppet, but his father Zhou Tie finally found it for him.
Later, Zhou Tie died unexpectedly due to a construction site accident.
Unexpected disasters and long-term huge pressure caused Zhou Xiaodi to collapse. He went insane. He fantasized about his alien friend Qizai using his superpowers to save his father. He fantasized about having a wonderful campus life and having a gentle and beautiful mother like Teacher Yuan...
Well, "The Little Match Girl"...
Coming back, Shen Xudong quickly called Teacher Yu and analyzed the word-of-mouth and subsequent market judgment. They chatted until almost three o'clock before ending the call...
…
"Celebrities have money..."
"What's wrong? Can I be evaluated for my acting skills, but not for my character?"
During the disaster relief event the next day, a bunch of media gathered around him and asked him his views on public welfare. They mainly questioned his blog post that celebrities have an obligation to donate.
"Let me express my opinion, which may be a bit extreme."
"You say."
Shen Xudong looked serious: "Many people say that there should be no moral kidnapping, and donating more or less is all out of love.
However, celebrities often earn millions or tens of millions, and buying a piece of clothing or a bag costs thousands, tens of thousands, or hundreds of thousands.
They have obtained most of society's resources, wealth, fame and fortune, and enjoy the feeling of being surrounded by stars.
But not much obligation was paid.
Moreover, many celebrities immigrate after making enough money!
What's even more outrageous is that after immigrating, they still come to China to make a lot of money. When the country is in trouble, people hope that these celebrities will contribute more. I think it is understandable and is a normal psychology.
This is not moral kidnapping.
It is the simplest human requirement for fairness.
Many celebrities in our country lack a sense of national and national honor! "
Uh, I'm just asking you to give a brief response, I'm not asking you to blame me.
You want to be a moral god!
After a few words, Shen Xudong entered the concert.
Oh, the full name of this event is ‘Film New Year Concert’. Most of the attendees are filmmakers, including Feng Xiaogang, Ge You, Chen Daoming, Chen Kelly, Ning Jing, Guo Xiaodong, Ren Quan, Zhang Guoli and his wife, etc...
Feng Xiaogang saw him and asked with great concern: "I heard that the new movie is not doing well at the box office?"
"...It's not bad, but it's certainly not great."
"...Romance movies don't have stars. It's normal for the audience not to like them. Don't be upset..."
"No," Shen Xudong was speechless: "I'm not confused..."
Not only Director Feng, but also Zhang Guoli and Uncle Ge Chen Daoming talked about the box office failure of "Love Is Afterlife"...
Is this comforting me?
What's so comforting about this?
"Love Has an Afterlife" is not his movie...
