I’ve said it all, don’t let post-00s take over the official account

Chapter 173: The new film’s box office was cut in half, and the director fainted from tears
"It was released yesterday, and the box office on the first day exceeded [-] million. The theater chain has increased publicity and increased the film schedule. It is estimated that it will exceed [-] million today." The employee looked at Su Chen and asked with a smile, "Director Su , you also know "Path of Glory"?"

"I've heard of it, but I don't know much about it."

Su Chen returned calmly, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.

What he said was true. He had indeed heard of the movie "Path of Glory" from Mr. Chi.

Su Chen remembered that this film was "War with the Dragon" that was used to encircle and suppress him, but now that he saw it...

The encirclement and suppression plan of the five major Hollywood film and television companies is afraid that it cannot be implemented and will simply fail.

Regardless of these things, Su Chen still has a good impression of the "Path of Glory" in his original world.

That film tells the story of World War I, and most of the themes are based on the story background of World War II. It stands out from this background alone.

In Su Chen's opinion, the "Path of Glory" he knew could be called a masterpiece.

Regardless of the plot or style of the film, a tragic and profound satirical power is used to construct the entire film.

The shooting technique of "Path of Glory" is neat, and its criticism of war consciousness and bureaucracy also extends to a broader field.Through its tragic ending, the film indicts the cruelty of war and the ignorance of commanders, and uses rich film language to reveal the cruel theme of "one general succeeds and thousands die".

The most detailed thing is that the film's gloomy shots have an imminent and sharp gaze, drilling directly into the minds of the scheming people and the hearts of the soldiers who have to endure the fear of death.

Just one glance can see everything.

The achievements of "Paths of Glory" are also quite high, even though it was filmed and released in the middle of the last century.

But in the following five or sixty years, this film has been screened year by year in dozens of countries around the world, and has achieved very good results.

It can be said that this film definitely left a mark in global film history.

When Su Chen was a student, he seemed to have watched that film nearly ten times and learned a lot of film and television skills from it.

But this is only limited to the original "Paths of Glory", not the "Paths of Glory" released in this world.

With the help of the staff, Su Chen took a brief look at the promotional video of "Path of Glory".

With just one glance, Su Chen knew that this was not the "Path of Glory" he was familiar with, and many of the shots and techniques in it were quite immature.

Not to mention that "Battle of the Dragons" will be released during the exhaustion period of "Path of Glory", even if it is released now to compete with "Path of Glory"...

Su Chen is also quite confident in his heart and confident of winning.

"Director Su, how can you still laugh? The momentum of "Path of Glory" is so strong that we can't easily fight against it."

"Yes, yes! I heard that Hollywood has suppressed several awesome movies, and I don't know when they will be released. If we bump into them, the box office revenue will definitely be greatly reduced. of."

"If you want me to watch it, we might as well go to the temple and pray for a good release date. In this way, our film will be blessed and it will definitely sell well."

"What's this all about! With Director Su at the helm, our "War of the Dragon" will definitely achieve good results even if we don't do all those twists and turns."

Hearing the comments from the employees, Su Chen was also amused by them.

It was just a "Path of Glory", but Su Chen really didn't take it seriously.

He patted his sleeves and said with a smile, "Okay! Let's go and do our own thing. I'll take the film to the dubbing department and take a look. If it's ready, I'll take it to the military department for review."

With that said, Su Chen took the film and quickly left the studio.Seeing that Su Chen had already left, the employees stopped worrying about the release date of "War of the Dragon" and started busy with the work at hand.

……

Chi's office.

A few days ago, Mr. Chi used his exclusive information to persuade Su Chen, hoping that he would be prepared for the encirclement and suppression of the five major Hollywood film and television companies.

But Mr. Chi never expected that MGM would ruin the cooperation and directly release "Path of Glory" globally.

Before Mr. Chi could find a good reason to explain to Su Chen that his information was wrong, Director Zhao came over in a hurry.

Regarding the current director Zhao, Mr. Chi has only one evaluation of him - the most mistreated director this year.

The quality of the films in this year's Christmas season is average, so Director Zhao saw this opportunity and released a winter romance film.

According to the usual practice in previous years, this film is bound to make a lot of money.

But the bad thing is that the audience's appetite has been sucked by Su Chen, and they don't like to watch those kind of pretentious romance movies.

But even so, Director Zhao's film still made [-] million at the box office on the first day.

As long as the film can be screened smoothly, it is not impossible for the box office to exceed [-] billion.

But the day after Director Zhao's new film was released, "Paths of Glory" was released worldwide without any warning.

Just like that, Director Zhao's winter romance film was completely cool.

The next day's box office was cut in half. It didn't even reach 8000 million, but it was only [-] million.

Not to mention today, the film schedule was directly moved by 10% to "Path of Glory", and the box office may not even reach 5000 million.

Director Zhao sighed heavily, his eyes already dim.

Mr. Chi looked at the frustrated person and could only comfort him softly: "Director Zhao, this mistake is really unavoidable, so don't worry too much about it. Besides, you may not lose. I feel that the momentum of your film is still very good, and it will definitely make some money."

Director Zhao was stunned for a moment and shook his head helplessly: "Mr. Chi, stop comforting me. After I saw the box office yesterday, I knew that... it would be very difficult for this film to maintain its capital."

Director Zhao's words are not a sign of misfortune, but they are true.

Although his winter romance film had a box office of [-] million on the first day, the situation will be quite bad now, and the subsequent box office will gradually decrease.

It is very likely that the final box office will not exceed [-] million.

Especially when the cinema informed Director Zhao about the adjustment in film schedule, it directly dealt a fatal blow to Director Zhao.

Overnight, director Zhao's film schedule dropped from 40% to 20%...

Such a drastic cut in half is something that no matter how good the film is, it can't handle it.

Not to mention, Director Zhao's films are not that good, and the situation will inevitably become worse and worse.
