For Lin Xing, he didn’t think that this damn movie “Falling Leaves” was a flop.
Because from the beginning to the end, Lin Xing saw everything very clearly.
This time, "Falling Leaves" ended the May Day period with 530 million yuan. Do you think it's a lot?
Not much really.
But other movies are even worse, even "Rescue Me" and "The Lottery" are not quite up to par.
"Rescue Me" is a movie with a compact plot and good special effects, but the script is obviously problematic and there is no big climax as a whole.
It's like he's always saving people, but it makes people feel a little depressed.
right.
It's just frustrating, and the protagonist's sacrifice was inexplicable, as if he sacrificed just for the sake of sacrifice.
Because of this, "Rescue Me" has currently snatched some of the audience from "Fallen Leaves", but that's just a bit.
As for "The Lottery", let alone, what else can I say about this bad movie? ?
Under such circumstances, and with the support of its peers, it is not surprising that "Falling Leaves" won the May Day slot.
Of course, the reason why many people say that "Falling Leaves" flopped is because of the comparison with Lin Xing's previous works.
Some media reporters even asked Lin Xing: "Are you really not disappointed at all?"
“No, why should I be disappointed??”
Lin Xing was a little puzzled: "I didn't mention the box office from the beginning, and I didn't say how many billions the box office would reach?"
"But 'Charlotte's Troubles' has almost 11 billion, but this 'Falling Leaves' has only over 500 million. Don't you feel the difference at all?"
The media reporter obviously did not give up and continued to ask.
In response to this, Lin Xing laughed and said, "Does that mean that every movie I make in the future must make 10 billion? Will I be disappointed if it doesn't make 10 billion? Besides, the box office can't often be used to judge whether a movie is good or not. It's normal for audiences to like some comedies with good box office, and it's normal that people don't like to watch art films like "Falling Leaves"..."
From the beginning to the end, Lin Xing never said anything like the audience didn't like the show because of their so-called lack of aesthetic taste.
Isn’t it normal that the audience doesn’t like to watch it?
People can watch whatever they want, what does it have to do with you?
Moreover, making a movie is like producing a product. If you want the audience to like it, then you should serve the audience.
Isn’t it the same as when Lin Xing filmed “Charlotte’s Troubles”? ?
But most of the time, Lin Xing also tries to make other movies. He doesn't want to make movies just for the sake of box office.
"I want to make a blockbuster movie. I want to make a blockbuster movie that is a big hit at the box office, has a great reputation, is well-liked by the audience, is well-liked by the industry, and is popular all over the world and sweeps some award ceremonies. But I ask you a question."
Lin Xing asked the reporter: "Do you think it's possible?"
The reporter also said: "It is indeed impossible."
"So, there's no need to report on this flop. I honestly think this movie is quite successful."
Lin Xing said with a smile: "You said we were quite satisfied, and the audience was also quite satisfied after watching the movie, so why do you media have to be dissatisfied and say that this movie flopped?"
Especially since "Charlotte's Troubles" had just grossed 10 billion yuan at the box office, Lin Xing should have had appeal at this time, but he failed to further increase the box office of "Falling Leaves".
The May Day movie "Falling Leaves" won the holiday box office with 530 million yuan and remained the champion of the period. It is certainly not a failure, it can even be considered a success.
But compared to Lin Xing, I think this is already a flop, because the failure of "Falling Leaves" proves that Lin Xing's appeal does not exist, and proves the survival dilemma of art films.
…
The media's coverage of "Falling Leaves" is generally negative.
As for the Sixth Princess, she published an article, which is [The Breakout of the Elites in the Sinking Dilemma].
This article mainly talks about the aesthetic segregation of movies, especially the fact that audiences in third- and fourth-tier cities are often different from those in first-tier cities.
Just like the love movies of the past, people in first-tier cities think this is nothing?
However, people in third- and fourth-tier cities are buying tickets crazily, and even every show is sold out. This is actually a kind of aesthetic isolation.
This is actually the case with most art films.
Just like the box office of "Falling Leaves" this time, the current box office of "Falling Leaves" in first-tier cities accounts for 62%, and audiences in third- and fourth-tier cities have left in large numbers due to "slow pace" and "incomprehensible".
This is in stark contrast to "Crazy Lottery", which relied on small town youth to contribute 290 million yuan in box office revenue.
…
This article is much better than those media outlets that are fanning the flames and writing in a sarcastic and sarcastic manner.
In addition, the Sixth Princess also said that the most noteworthy thing is that "Falling Leaves" has achieved deep penetration among the elite audience group, such as colleges and universities booking theaters for viewing, spontaneous analysis by film critics, and word-of-mouth fermentation with a Douban score of , etc., which makes the box office still have a long-tail effect.
Just look at it, in the past two days, the box office forecast of "Falling Leaves" has risen to 900 million.
This is the word-of-mouth effect.
Let’s put it this way, you can say that the Linxing effect is useless, but the word-of-mouth effect is still very useful.
Many times, word-of-mouth effect is the most fundamental reason whether the box office can achieve the long tail.
In the next few days, Lin Xing will still accompany Guo Haishan and others on the roadshow. As for the box office of "Falling Leaves", it is indeed as others thought. His box office prediction is increasing accordingly.
Until June 1st, the box office of "Falling Leaves" exceeded 1 billion within one month of its release, which was unexpected by many people.
Because many people thought that it would fail if it broke 800 million, and even many people thought that the Lin Xing effect had failed.
As a result, within one month, "Falling Leaves" not only broke 800 million, it even broke 1 billion.
If you compare it with "Charlotte's Troubles", it is still a flop, but the box office of "Falling Leaves" exceeded 1 billion, which is quite difficult for art films.
Today is the celebration party for "Falling Leaves".
Guo Haishan was really satisfied because the production cost of "Falling Leaves" was actually not high, especially since Lin Xing's pay was a friendship price.
Originally, Guo Haishan believed that 300 million yuan would more than pay for the investment in "Falling Leaves". His lowest expectation at the beginning was that it would be considered a success as long as it exceeded 100 million yuan.
Because it's really not easy for a movie like this to succeed.
But I never expected that the market feedback would be so good.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
This also proves one thing, that is, as long as you put your heart into making a good movie, the box office will definitely be good.
At the celebration banquet, Guo Haishan also said: "The success of this movie is inseparable from the joint efforts of everyone. Everyone has worked hard on the roadshow, especially Lin Xing. Lin Xing has really contributed too much to this movie, so I must give you a red envelope later..."
In the past, Lin Xing gave red envelopes to others at movie celebration parties.
Now, someone else gave Lin Xing a red envelope.
Of course, Guo Haishan couldn’t have given red envelopes only to Lin Xing, he gave red envelopes to all the leading actors.
"What are your plans next, Xing?"
Guo Haishan asked with a smile: "Are you ready to shoot the previous movie?"
"Almost. Actually, I want to start two more movies, but I still have some concerns..."
Lin Xing said: "I want to make the script better. Of course, this will delay the time..."
"I need to take a break here."
Guo Haishan said: "Being a director is indeed too tiring. I now understand why some people need to have several assistant directors around them when they are directors, and even many people only serve as producers but not directors."
Lin Xing said: "Yes, being a director is really too exhausting, and the director needs to be in control of the overall situation. In this regard, I don't think I am qualified yet, so I won't be a director in the short term. I even think I can't be a director..."
"No, Xing, I really think you are quite suitable to be a director."
Guo Haishan shook his head and said, "You actually have a drive, that is, the drive to be responsible only for the audience. This drive needs the director to persist. I have actually made guest appearances in some plays before, and I feel that those directors are not thinking about being responsible for the audience at all. They even just think about being responsible for the investors..."
To be honest, Guo Haishan really thinks it was the right decision to let Lin Xing shoot "Falling Leaves".
When filming "Falling Leaves", Lin Xing's acting skills were naturally guided by Guo Haishan, but sometimes Lin Xing always had a flash of inspiration when it came to his understanding of the script.
This flash is good for the movie.
This is also the reason why Guo Haishan felt a little tired after filming "Falling Leaves", otherwise he really wanted to work with Lin Xing again.
After the celebration banquet, Lin Xing was naturally interviewed by the media.
“The second part of Death on Earth has been completed, and I still want to release it during the Spring Festival…”
"Yes, I just told Mr. Guo about this at the celebration party. There should be two movies coming up. I also mentioned it before. One of them wants a female lead, and it's a suspense movie..."
Lin Xing smiled and said, "There is another one which is an action movie, but it is not just an action movie. We want to shoot a mainstream modern war movie. I don't really like people thinking that a movie is not good when they mention mainstream. Doesn't Hollywood have mainstream themes? They also have mainstream themes..."
When Lin Xing said she wanted to shoot a movie with a female lead, both An Yifeng and Yang Tian called Lin Xing.
Of course, Lin Xing didn’t want to praise them this time.
Firstly, Lin Xing felt that An Yifeng and Yang Tian were not very suitable. Another thing was that Lin Xing felt that it was almost time for Lin Miaoyin to transform.
For this reason, this movie was actually prepared for Lin Miaoyin.
The scope of acting needs to be broadened.
From the first day he met Lin Miaoyin, Lin Xing felt that if Lin Miaoyin could hone her acting skills, her acting range would be quite broad.
Now this movie is a good opportunity for Lin Miaoyin to give it a try.
The conditions are there, so there is no need to worry about losing money.
We are not short of money now.
