Chapter 622 This movie doesn’t work
After watching the movie, Tao Heng sent Liu Dongdong a message.
"Old Liu, I watched the movie and it was very good. I feel that this movie has the potential to be a hit. I would like to congratulate you in advance on the movie's success."
Liu Dongdong smiled after receiving the news.
Even Lao Tao, who has watched countless films, thinks this movie is good.
This wave is stable.
The previously set box office target of 300 million may be a bit conservative. It seems that this movie has the potential to hit 400 million. With luck, 500 million is not impossible.
Liu Dongdong's heart was burning.
He has taken another solid step on his way to becoming a great director.
The movie is also generally well received on the Internet.
"A very good love movie."
"I really like this two-way redemption story."
"It's a bit cliche, but for the Chinese Valentine's Day, this kind of movie is just right."
"I watched it with my girlfriend. It was very heartwarming and healing."
"Both parties have a sense of CP. It doesn't feel like they are acting."
Industry insiders also generally praised the film.
"Liu Dongdong is indeed a veteran director. Even if it is a cliché romance film, he can make it unconventional."
"Originally, I had no expectations for this kind of small-to-medium-budget production, but I didn't expect that this movie was unexpectedly good."
"The male and female protagonists are well chosen. Watching the two of them interact on the screen is very immersive."
"I feel like this movie is going to explode."
"Liu Dongdong won't ascend."
As a good friend of Liu Dongdong, Tao Heng wrote a long film review without stopping after he returned, and then posted it online.
[I would like to recommend to everyone a movie "Fireworks" that was just released today. 】
"This movie is directed by director Liu Dongdong and stars Lin Xi and Zhou Han. It tells the story of two lonely men and women, Chen Xia and Li Ran, who met in their youth, fell in love with each other and redeemed each other.
Chen Xia was born in a family that values boys over girls. She has a low self-esteem and sensitive personality because she was often suppressed. Li Ran's family conditions are good, but his temper is not very good because his parents divorced. She is his calamity, and he is her light. Personal love is like a cup of tea after autumn, plain but with aftertaste.
Compared with all the nonsense and coincidences in other love movies, the love between the hero and heroine of Pyrotechnics is more in line with the story of us normal people.
This movie has no intentional nonsense, no messy jealousy, meal replacements, substitutes, misunderstandings, and no three-piece set of youth pain. There is no mute heroine who is angry and aggrieved, and there is no darling wife who only relies on men to save her. Fly far away for love and give up growth.
This movie is just a story about a man and a woman who once fell in love, then separated and then got together, which is evocative in its plainness.
All in all, this is a good-looking love movie. I even think it is the best love movie this year. If you have friends who want to watch the movie, you can go to the cinema and buy tickets to watch it. Trust me, you will never be disappointed. "
Tao Heng is an internet celebrity film critic with a large number of fans. He writes film reviews and recommendations, and fans respond quickly.
"The quality of this movie is so good, does it deserve your praise?"
"Okay, I like watching movies anyway, so it doesn't matter which one I watch."
"Tao Heng recommended it. The quality of this movie must be good."
"I support you Tao Heng, I will use my mobile phone to book tickets."
"I don't really like watching romantic movies, but to support you I decided to go to the cinema and watch it. I hope you won't be disappointed."
Netizens and industry insiders generally praised it.
People who have watched "Firework" have good comments about the movie.
The movie's reputation is very good, which is better than most movies.
A series of good news made Liu Dongdong very excited.
This movie feels like it's going to explode.
Soon, the first-day box office of "Firework" was released.
Twelve million!
Liu Dongdong was confused.
how so?
This movie is adapted from a big IP, starring A-list stars, and has both quality and reputation online.
No matter how you look at it, this movie is very good and has the potential to be a hit.
Why was the box office so low on the first day?
This is the first day's box office.
Most movies have the highest box office on the first day.
There are only a very few movies where the box office on the first day is not as good as the box office on the first few days of release.
A big production with a cost of 80 million, and a box office of 12 million on the first day.
This data, to be honest, is very dangerous, and it feels like there is a possibility of loss.
Tao Heng was also able to find relevant data, and he called Liu Dongdong to comfort him.
"Don't worry, the quality of your movie is very good, and the reputation is also very good. The reason why the box office is not good on the first day is because the reputation has not yet fermented. When the reputation has fermented, the movie box office will increase."
"I hope so."
Liu Dongdong sighed.
What Tao Heng said makes sense.
It is true that there are many movies that did not have high box office in the early stage, but achieved a late counterattack through good reputation.
The problem is, movies like this are very rare.
And today is Chinese Valentine’s Day, which is perfect for romance movies to reap the box office.
Due to major positive factors, the box office of "Firework" was only 12 million.
When the Chinese Valentine's Day is over, will the box office of "Fireworks" still increase?
The trend in the industry has also changed, and there are many more people who are bearish.
"The box office performance of "Fireworks" was not good."
"It's strange. This movie has a good reputation and the quality is quite high."
"Sometimes the quality of a movie has little to do with the box office."
"The main reason is that the film's promotion efforts were not good enough. There was almost no news on the Internet before the film was released, and it failed to stimulate the audience's enthusiasm for watching the film."
"I think it's a problem with the two leading actors. Lin Xi and Zhou Han are nominally on the front line and seem to be very popular, but in fact they are both bubbles and have no ability to carry the box office. For many viewers, these are just two living actors. With their faces, there’s no way they can pay for it.”
"Liu Dongdong doesn't have much face, so he can't allow theaters to free up more films."
There are various discussions in the circle, and it seems that the future of the movie "Firework" is not good.
Soon, the box office results for the follow-up to "Fireworks" came out.
The box office the next day was 9.7 million.
The box office on the third day was 8.9 million.
The box office on the fourth day was 8.4 million.
In terms of bean sprouts score, "Fireworks" scored 7.2 points, which is pretty good.
But this box office data can be said to be very bleak.
According to the current trend, this movie will most likely lose money. The loss may not be much, but a loss is a loss.
Liu Dongdong was very unwilling and tried every means to promote it.
Roadshow.
Post on Weibo.
Spend money to find a navy.
He tried various means, but the movie's box office never rose and fell slowly on a smooth curve.
Ten days have passed, and "Firework" has accumulated a box office of 72 million.
The fate of this movie seems to have been sealed.
A small loss.
Liu Dongdong smiled bitterly.
He invited his good brother Tao Heng to drink.
After drinking a bottle of beer, Liu Dongdong's eyes were red.
"I just don't understand why the box office of "Fireworks" is so low?"
