My old bacon is back!

Chapter 235 This audience is not good!
The word-of-mouth of "Going South" collapsed on the first day, which Tianhao did not expect.

The reputation of the national teacher is very good. For so many years, he has made more than ten works in Tianhao, and each of them has made money.

But who knows, this time, the horse stumbled.

Wu Zhengqiang flew to director Qing Cheng's side by plane overnight on the night of the first day of the new year.

Although I know it's done now, the movie has already been released.

And on the first day, the word-of-mouth of the entire movie was ruined, but he still wanted to meet Director Qing Cheng.

Early the next morning, Wu Zhengqiang knocked on Qing Cheng's door.

Qing Cheng's condition is very bad, after all, he is also in his 60s and [-]s.

Wu Zhengqiang could tell at a glance that he didn't sleep well last night.

Wu Zhengqiang still mulled over his words, and then he said: "Director Qing, today's pre-sale is only 1.8 million, which is directly cut in half compared to yesterday."

Although this movie may not make much money at present, but after all, Qing Cheng has made a lot of good movies in Tianhao over the years.

So don't talk too much.

Qing Cheng himself sighed, and said, "Let's stop our road show, it's meaningless."

He thought of what Qi Yuan said when he met Qi Yuan during the screening in Western Capital.

"Going South" is not as good as "Journey to the West".

Qi Yuan's words made him very angry.

This "Going South" is his painstaking work over the past few years.

Although the current audience finds it ugly and incomprehensible.

But in Qing Cheng's own heart, this movie is his culmination of movies in recent years.

If the audience can't understand, of course it's the audience's problem.

Could it still be my problem?
"Judging from the current situation, "Southern Down" should be able to win a box office of about 10 billion in the end, and we will lose a little." Qing Cheng said.

Although he still thinks "Going South" is very good, but this movie, at present, will definitely make the company lose money.

In fact, the production cost of the movie alone is not so high, and the box office of about 8 million can be paid back.

But right.

On Tianhao's side, and on Wu Zhengqiang's side, "Southern Down" is the work of Tianhao's ace director Qing Cheng, so a lot of publicity resources were invested in the early stage.

1.3 million was spent on the announcement and distribution alone.

This also caused a box office of 10 billion, and the embarrassing situation that "Southern" could not even return to its original.

Wu Zhengqiang sighed, and said, "Director Qing, from now on, let's trust our professional screenwriters."

Qing Cheng glanced at Wu Zhengqiang and said nothing.

The screenwriter of "Going South" this time is Qing Cheng himself.

And the movies he shot before were all edited by a special editing team for him.

From the current point of view, Qing Cheng is not suitable for screenwriting.

Not everyone has exceptionally strong screenwriting ability like Qi Yuan.

The two walked out of the hotel together.

At the door, a lot of media had already gathered.

Big news!

Before Qi Yuan uttered wild words, saying that Qing Cheng's "Southern Down" was not as good as his own "A Chinese Journey to the West", and the whole Internet was condemning Qi Yuan.

But now when "Going South" is actually released, everyone finally understands, Qi Yuan is right!
"Down South" is a bad movie.

Although "A Chinese Journey to the West" is also a bad film, relatively speaking, "Southern Down" is even more thoroughly bad, so bad that you can't even read it!
What's more, this year's Spring Festival, and Qi Yuan's "Kung Fu" in the same schedule made a sharp contrast!
No comparison, no harm!
While the word-of-mouth of "Kung Fu" continued to rise, "Southern Down" ushered in criticism from all over the Internet!

"I was wrong, I was really wrong! Why didn't I believe our Qi Yuan! Really! I wasted the 40 yuan. Isn't it good if I use it to buy ribs?"

"How did Qing Cheng manage to make this "Southern Down" so disgusting?"

"I don't think it's disgusting anymore, it's simply insulting the IQ of the audience!"

"It's true that there is no harm without comparison. Just watch Qi Yuan's "Kung Fu". This is called a movie!"

"Don't criticize Director Qingcheng, "Southwards" is so bad, I think the screenwriter has to take the blame."

"Upstairs, don't you know that Qing Cheng is the screenwriter of "Going South?"

"Huh? He didn't write the screenplay for his previous movies!"

"Facts have proved that not everyone has the same ability as Qi Yuan! Even the national teacher can't do it!"

Qing Cheng and Wu Zhengqiang stood outside the hotel, and the media began to frantically ask questions.

"Excuse me, Director Qing Cheng, we have canceled all the upcoming road shows of "Southwards", is it because of the influence of the current word-of-mouth of "Southwards"?"

Wu Zhengqiang said: "You asked this question. Didn't our announcement make it very clear? Director Qing Cheng is relatively old. He has been on the road show for a week. Now he is not very comfortable, so he has to take a break. We all know everyone's desire to communicate face-to-face with director Qing Cheng on the spot, but the plan is not changing quickly, we still have a lot of time in the future, everyone, don't worry."

"Director Qing Cheng, your "Southern Down" is indeed not as good as Qi Yuan's "Journey to the West". What do you think?"

Wu Zhengqiang rushed ahead of Qing Cheng and said, "Everyone, don't fight, we won't talk about other people's movies today."

But Qing Cheng patted Wu Zhengqiang lightly, and then said into the microphone: "I don't think my "Southern Down" is that bad.

The current audience is used to fast-paced, low-level content. I think this is why many comedies are easy to win high-grossing titles.Looking at the Spring Festival stalls in recent years, we will probably know it.

This cannot be said that filmmakers like us who work hard to make stories are not good, let alone that our films are not good. In the final analysis, it is actually the current audience, which is too bad.They don't have basic aesthetics, and they don't know what is a movie and what is advanced.

Look at the TV, it's all little fresh meat, traffic without acting skills, what are these? "

Qing Cheng said what he wanted to say in one breath.

Wu Zhengqiang on the side touched his forehead, feeling very helpless.

The media on the opposite side had their eyes shining.

Today, I finally got a big news!
Qing Cheng has seen the failure of his movie reputation, broke the defense?
Not so much.

In fact, Qing Cheng has made so many movies over the years, and each one has many people who like it.

So he has never felt the collapse of word-of-mouth and the explosion of public opinion like a tsunami like this "Southward".

And in his heart, he just thinks his "Going South" is a good work.

This is the same as when Chen Kaige thought his "The Promise" was a good movie in his previous life.
