Chapter 607 The Legend of the Gods is stronger than the Mother of Lightning
Not a big problem?
There is a major production released on the same day. Is it a big problem if we compete face to face?
Liu Yifei wanted to yell at Xu Nan and ask him if he knew the seriousness of the problem.
This is a mythological blockbuster that cost 500 million and invited countless heavyweight actors to participate. It is claimed to be the beginning of the era of Chinese mythology.
To put it harshly, the acting skills and record of any actor in it can beat her as the lead actor.
In this case, you still say it’s not a big problem?
But Liu Yifei didn't say anything and forced a smile: "Okay, I understand."
After saying that, Liu Yifei hung up the phone.
Liu Lili immediately asked: "What did Director Xu say?"
Liu Yifei was helpless: "He said the problem is not big."
Liu Lili frowned and thought for a while: "Director Xu has a brilliant record and rich experience. Since he said it's not a big problem, then maybe it really isn't a problem."
"That's all I can think of."
Liu Yifei said helplessly.
She is an actor, and the movie has been filmed. The only thing she can do next is to cooperate with the director in promoting it, and there is nothing else she can do.
I can only believe what Xu Nan said.
The other side.
Xu Nan looked calm after hanging up the phone from Liu Yifei.
He knew about the postponement of "Legend of the Gods" and the release of "Dian Mu" on the same day before Liu Yifei.
This surprised him a little.
He specifically scheduled "Dian Mu" to be released on July 20, one week apart from "Legend of the Gods", just to avoid the sharp edge of this movie and reduce risks.
This is also the practice in the circle.
However, Xinghai Film and Television deliberately moved the movie schedule to be released on the same day as "Dian Mu", intending to compete with him head-on.
The movie "Dragon Mother" is a superhero blockbuster that he shot very seriously, not a paper tiger-like thunder movie.
When it comes to movie quality, Xu Nan is not afraid of anyone.
Moreover, the movie "Legend of the Gods" will kill you as soon as you see it. There is a famous example in the previous life.
I originally planned to give you a face and not fight head-on, but you insist on coming to seek death yourself.
OK, come on then.
It depends on which movie suffers in the end.
To put it bluntly, even if the quality of "Legend of the Gods" is really high, Xu Nan is not afraid.
In the current movie market, the market is big enough to accommodate two major productions, and the loss is not much.
Not to mention the 600 million investment in "Dian Mu", Xu Nan only invested 200 million, and the remaining 400 million was co-invested by other film and television companies. The 200 million he invested has already been earned through embedded advertising. Most of it.
Therefore, Xu Nan's risk is very small, and the impact of failure is not significant.
The news that "Legend of the Gods" and "Dian Mu" were released on the same day quickly caused waves on the Internet.
Netizens are very excited.
"Holy crap, July 20th is such an important day. There are actually two major productions released at the same time."
"Movie lovers are lucky to be able to watch two major productions at the same time. This is a treat that can only be enjoyed during popular schedules."
"I feel that these two movies are more attractive than the movies released on May 1st. A superhero blockbuster and an epic mythical movie."
"I was originally looking forward to several movies in the May 1st period, but in the end they were all mediocre. But "Legend of the Gods" and "Dian Mu" are different. They are both top-notch productions. I believe they will not disappoint the audience. "The most amazing thing is that both movies are special effects blockbusters, both of which cost hundreds of millions to produce. Even if the plot is average, the special effects scenes alone are worth the price of admission."
"Yes, let's not talk about the plot, the special effects alone are worth watching."
"But having said that, why are the two movies released on the same day? This is not in line with the rules of movie releases."
"Is there any grudge between the producers of the two movies?"
"Wouldn't that be more exciting?"
“I don’t know which of the two movies is better”
"Whatever, as long as we the audience enjoy it."
"That's right, just enjoy it."
The audience also saw something from the fact that the two movies were released at the same time, but they didn't care at all.
The grudges behind the movie have nothing to do with them, just watch the fun.
The more lively it is, the more excited they are
Related news is fermenting on the Internet.
As we discussed it, the taste changed.
Both movies starred A-list stars and were shot by famous directors.
To put it another way, there are many fans.
Liu Yifei, known as the Fairy Sister, is a national-level actress, and her fans are also known for their long-lasting love. Even after watching several movies in a row, her popularity remains undiminished.
If it were any other star, his vitality would be severely damaged if he participated in one movie. If he participated in several movies, he would basically be nowhere to be found in the entertainment industry.
But Liu Yifei is still on the front line, so you can imagine how loyal her fans are.
These fans learned that their idol's movie was about to be released and spontaneously helped promote it online.
The same goes for Xu Nan's fans, except that his fans are not as active as Liu Yifei's fans, and Liu Yifei's fans are the main ones.
Similarly, fans of several actors in "Legend of the Gods" also helped promote the movie online.
Even because this movie invited more stars, the momentum was even greater.
Obviously, it is impossible for these two groups to remain peaceful, and it is not known who started it. Supporters of the two movies quickly started fighting on the Internet.
"What kind of rubbish does Liu Yifei have? She's been involved in all the movies and yet she dares to compete with Li Lienjie? When our idol became an actor, Liu Yifei wasn't even born yet?"
"Liu Yifei is box office poison, "Dian Mu" is destined to be a hit on the street."
"Xu Nan is just a bad movie director. He can't make any good movies."
"Li Lienjie is old and can no longer fight."
"They're just a bunch of old guys. Their total box office is not as good as Xu Nan's..."
"Did Xu An make any famous movies? Why don't I remember that there is such a famous person in the director world?"
There are countless similar comments on the Internet. Fans of the two movies are scolding each other on the Internet, and the situation is very fierce.
This kind of thing is not uncommon on the Internet. Netizens are just so boring.
If nothing unexpected happens, this kind of mutual quarrel will continue until the movie is released. After the movie is released, the popularity will pass, and then netizens will find new reasons to vent their emotions and energy on the Internet.
However, a trigger ignited the matter.
The trigger was Xu An’s interview.
Xu An and Xu Nan both have the same surname as Xu, but they are not related. He is very old and an experienced director who has made many classic movies.
However, there are also rumors that the classic movies he made were all completed by another director who helped him produce them, and the movies he made were very average.
No one knows whether similar rumors are true or false except the person involved, but one thing is certain, Xu An is a seasoned director with rich experience and has shot many movies.
He himself has also opened a film and television company, and his company also has a certain share in the "Legend of the Gods" produced by Xinghai Film and Television.
The reason for accepting the interview is also very simple, just to warm up the movie "Legend of the Gods".
This is a common propaganda tool.
interviewing.
The reporter first asked: "Hello Director Xu An, as far as we know, the release date of "Legend of the Gods" was originally scheduled for July 13th, but some time ago, the release date of "Legend of the Gods" was suddenly postponed. It will be released on July 20th, which is the day when the famous director Xu Nan’s movie "Dian Mu" will be released."
"Excuse me, are you deliberately targeting Director Xu Nan? What grudges do you have between you?"
Xu An answered vaguely: "The postponement of "Legend of the Gods" is due to commercial considerations and has nothing to do with Xu Nan."
The reporter asked: "So there is some grudge between you, right?"
Xu An frowned: "I never said that, please don't make assumptions."
The reporter asked again: "But as far as I know, except for some special schedules, such as the Spring Festival or National Day, under normal circumstances, the two movies will not be released on the same day to avoid risks. "Legend of the Gods" was originally scheduled to be released in July On the 13th, it was suddenly changed to July 20th, which was released on the same day as "Dian Mu". If there is no special reason, it is difficult to explain."
Xu An: "There are special reasons for choosing the schedule of "Legend of the Gods", but for commercial reasons I can only keep it secret."
The reporter was very difficult to deal with. He kept asking Xu An if he had any grudge against Xu Nan and wanted to make a big news. However, Xu An was experienced and did not leave any excuse for the reporter.
The end of the interview.
The reporter said helplessly: ""Legend of the Gods" and "Dian Mu" were released on the same day. The two movies will definitely influence each other. Do you think "Legend of the Gods" can surpass "Dian Mu" at the box office?"
Xu An: "100% exceeded."
The reporter became excited: "Why?"
Xu An smiled: "The reason is very simple. Xu Nan is a director who often makes bad movies. The audience has been deceived by him many times. The public's eyes are sharp. I believe the audience will not be fooled this time."
"The star of "Dian Mu" Liu Yifei is also well-known as a box office poison. None of the movies she starred in have ever made money."
"One movie is made by a bad director and box office poison, and the other movie is a mythical blockbuster carefully shot by me. With many movie stars and actresses joining the cast, there is no doubt which movie the audience will choose."
The interview is over.
Relevant news quickly spread to the Internet.
Netizens are excited.
