Chapter 341 See if I can do it
The night of the New Year is beautiful, the streets are decorated with gorgeous lights, and the whole city is immersed in a colorful ocean.
"A person's talent or ability is limited, no matter how talented or capable the person is."
Wang Cheng just came out of the cinema, smiling and in a good mood.
He doesn't have to watch online reviews of "Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift". He just finished watching it and already knows how much the movie is.
"I think it's very exciting, especially during the street racing, I'm so nervous."
The wife on the side talked about her experience of watching the movie, which was very objective and did not involve the grudge between her husband and Huafeng Media.
She felt that the movie "Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift" had a strong sense of substitution, and the compact rhythm weakened the shortcomings of insufficient plot.
When Wang Cheng heard his wife say this, he asked with a smile: "Then, do you have any memory of this movie?"
The wife said without hesitation: "Sports car, chase, drift."
Wang Cheng smiled again and said, "Apart from these, can't remember the plot at all?"
But the wife said, "No, isn't it just that Brian went to investigate the truth about the death of his good friend Han?"
Wang Cheng's face changed slightly, and he realized that he had seen it with tinted glasses, and his evaluation was more or less selfish.
A weak plot does not mean there is no plot, but a simple plot is better to remember.
The wife did not notice the changes in her husband and said to herself: "The Guo Sensteinda who appears in the end-of-the-money easter egg is probably the big Boos in the sequel..."
Wang Cheng's good mood suddenly broke and he was silent.

The next day.
Django and Zhou Lingwei rarely slept in and got up until midnight.
After washing up, Zhou Lingwei went to make breakfast, while Django was watching the data of the movie "Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift" online.
First, Douban scored 7.9, and dropped to 7.7.
Then there is Maoyan data's real-time box office of 360 million, and the predicted box office is 1.8 billion.
Currently, the ratings and box office are above the goals set.
“Very good, keep it.”
Django revoked two websites and then replied to WeChat. There are too many blessing messages on New Year's Day.
When Zhu Ping and Zhou Ran's style suddenly changed, in addition to blessings, there was also an apology, which roughly meant to make "Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift" badly, wasted the script, and embarrass him.
He smiled and replied, "The problem is not you, but the script, racing and drifting, the two most important things, you have already made perfect shots, keep going, because the movies in the Speed Universe are in this style."
Seeing his reply, Zhu Ping and Zhou Ran were relieved at the same time.
In the film industry, there are waves of discussion one after another, and there are many people who think Django is beginning to go downhill.
On Weibo, Django and "Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift" have both become hot searches, and the topics about them have dominated the list since last night.
but……
All of these seem to be just the beginning.
By the second day of the release of "Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift", the first day of box office in China and overseas came out, causing a new round of topics.
"Oh, it disappoints some people."
"You can get so many box offices in the New Year's Day, and your appeal is still strong."
"Looking at the overseas box office, it's already a big hit."
"Yes, our directors and screenwriters can also make good racing movies."
"I was so amazing overseas before, but the movie "Kung Fu King Dragon Hard"
"Django is so awesome, he has entered the international market!"
...
The domestic market is 435 million, breaking the box office record of the first day of the movie released during the New Year's Day.
Overseas, 15 film markets including M Country, Japan, Russia, etc. have accumulated a box office of US$32.5 million, of which the North American market accounts for 40%, which is US$13 million, and the Japanese market accounts for 20%, which is US$6.5 million. Although it is equivalent to RMB only more than 200 million, this is the highest first-day box office for the films produced by post-2000s, domestic directors and screenwriters overseas.
According to this trend, it is not a big problem to exceed 1.5 billion in China, and it is not a big problem to exceed 200 million in overseas.
A few days passed, daily ratings and box office declined, but they were still within acceptable limits.
Many viewers recognized this movie "Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift" and regarded it as a popcorn movie. This change of thinking made the movie experience soar, making it so exciting, and some people even went to watch it for the second time.
Moreover, the calls for filming sequels and increasing the role of Fujiwara Takumi, played by Xu Chenyi, are getting higher and higher.
Of course, there was also a loud voice saying that Django "falls from the altar" and "Gang Lang's talent is over".
—————
Just four days have passed during the New Year’s Day holiday, and some people have already devoted themselves to the work of the new year.
"What did you say? It has exceeded 1 billion yuan in China and 100 million US dollars overseas? It has only been released for four days!"
"Yes."
...
In the office, Wang Cheng was shocked!
He knew clearly that with Django's appeal, even if the movie was bad, the box office of 300,000 to 500 million on the first day would not be a problem, but he did not expect that the momentum would be so strong when the show was hit.
This pussy is really that charming?
These days, I have traveled with my wife and I have not paid attention to the situation online at all. Who would have thought that I was shocked when I first started work?
In a trance, Wang Cheng took a deep breath, stabilized his emotions, and then went online.
This time, I was shocked again, the evaluation reversed, the positive review rate rose to 70%, and the negative review rate dropped to 30%. Where can I get a link to bad movies if the score is above 7 points. The key is that the evaluation overseas is better.
Seeing such a result, his mood was quite complicated and uncomfortable.
At the same time, Django was still at home, and Huafeng was on holiday for seven days.
"Crazy..."
In the living room, in addition to the sounds made in the TV, there is also the sound of Zhou Mulong turning the paper.
He was holding a stack of paper, which was quite thick, with about thirty or forty pages, and was watching the contents attentively. This state had been in place for more than an hour.
What he was watching was the scripts of "Young Bao Qingtian" and "A Chinese Ghost Story" that Django had just modified last night.
Django carefully brought tea and fruit next to him, and then watched the show.
When watching dramas, one is to like watching dramas, the other is to be beneficial to script creation, directing and directing actors, and the third is to find actors who can be used.
After a while, Zhou Mulong finished reading two scripts, sat on the sofa and stared blankly for a while before asking, "By the way, Xiao Jiang, who are you going to film this "A Chinese Ghost Story"?"
Django turned his head and replied, "I haven't decided yet, there are a lot of shooting plans this year."
Zhou Mulong's eyes lit up and he recommended himself: "Do you think I can do it?"
He really liked this script, so he asked if he found the director to shoot it.
Django smiled and said, "If you don't do it, then there will be no director."
Zhou Mulong said seriously: "I know you never look at historical achievements. You only choose the right one. Don't make changes just because it's me."
This is wrong. In the past, I didn’t look at the director’s historical performance because I didn’t have money. Later, I didn’t look at the director’s historical performance because I could get [superstar value] when I filmed by my own company.
When [Superstar Value] is rich, you can work with big directors, such as having an appointment with You Ailing at the Golden Eagle Awards.
Django smiled and said, "You are the right person."
Chapter completed!
