"The Avenger" is a typical commercial action movie, and it is also a very common routine: the cow lives in seclusion, and then after being slapped in the face, the anti-slap in the face is a cool word.

Even in this world, it's not nothing.

However, just as time travel and rebirth seem to be timeless themes in online articles, this kind of pursuit of refreshing movies has always been the audience's favorite. Therefore, in stark contrast to the previous box office of "The Undertaker", the box office of 430 million yuan in the first weekend is absolutely a normal level for "The Avenger".

In other words, it should be the normal level of Lao Bai.

After all, it is a low-cost ordinary action movie, even if Sun Peng has many fans, Xue Ligang is also a popular star among the two recently, but it can't let more passers-by enter the cinema.

So in this era when box office data can be updated in real time on the Internet, everyone knows about this result at 12 o'clock on Sunday, and it is natural that it will win the first weekend in this box office off-season.

It is also natural that Mao Xu smashed the cup again.

The box office of "Dead by Night 3" in the first weekend was 250 million, which is actually quite a good result. After all, the previous "Dark Dead Machine 1" and "Dark Dead Machine 2" have laid a good foundation, and Mao Xu's market appeal has not completely cooled down. According to this trend, the final box office of seven or eight billion will definitely be appropriate, and one billion should also be a high probability event.

In six small overseas markets that were released simultaneously, the box office also got more than 50 million.

Merely......

The production cost of "Dark Dead 3" plus the cost of publicity and distribution is as high as 600 million Huaxia coins!

Although the domestic box office only has one billion, it should be able to recover more than half of the cost, if more overseas markets are released in the future, and the overseas box office is a little higher, it is quite promising for the box office to directly recover the cost, plus other copyright income or something is a profit.

However, such a result is not what Mao Xu wants.

For this movie, which he hopes to use to reverse the decline of his career, Mao Xu can be said to have invested all his accumulated contacts and prestige, not only inviting Li Zhuyun and two other star supporting actors, but also desperately looking for investors to ask for money on the grounds of "self-depreciation", and the publicity and distribution costs alone account for more than half of the total cost! In addition to domestic, Mao Xu is also eyeing the overseas market and has great ambitions, and has invested a lot of money to publicize.

The box office is just recovering its costs, how can it work?

If this is the case, Mao Xu can almost foresee that if he uses this movie to exhaust all his accumulated self, the market in the circle will definitely be further bearish, after all, it is impossible for investors to invest in movies that can't make money, or make too little money because of his previous fame......

What's even more terrifying is that there is also "The Avenger" released together.

"A "Avenger" with a production cost of only 120 million won more than 400 million at the box office in the first weekend; And the box office of "Dark Dead 3", which has a production cost of up to 400 million, is only 250 million, from such a stark comparison, what should Chinese filmmakers learn? ”

"Under the impact of old-white movies in recent years, the old-school action directors and stars in China have begun to try to change, which is a good thing, but if this change is blind and taken for granted, then I can only say that maybe they can consider retiring."

"If you talk about the scenes alone, "Dead by Night 3" is undoubtedly bigger, but more explosion scenes do not mean that they are more beautiful. In comparison, "The Avenger", which was dull most of the time, continued to be depressed and then finally exploded, and the refreshing feeling given to the audience is undoubtedly incomparable to "Dark Dead 3". ”

"Drawing a tiger is not an anti-dog, "Dark Dead 3" shows us the true meaning of this sentence. Blindly learning the style of "Hurricane Rescue" and "The Identity of Bourne" has the result that the film looks quaint and quirky. ”

……

It was these movie reviews that appeared on the Internet that made Mao Xu almost go crazy.

The high-profile publicity of 400 million production costs has become a key target of ridicule in their eyes; imitated the style of "Hurricane Rescue" and "Byrne's Identity", which became a typical example of painting a tiger and not becoming an anti-dog; Even many film critics have bluntly announced that old-school action directors and stars like Li Zhuyun and Mao Xu are outdated, and it is difficult to return to the top.

With such a result, how can Mao Xu not be furious?

"Damn Lao Bai, he must have done it on purpose!"

After dropping a cup, Mao Xu shouted with a hideous face.

"Deliberately? What do you mean? ”

Director Li Zhuyun, who was originally irritated by poor box office results, stood up after hearing this: "You mean he deliberately targeted our movie?" Right? I don't find anyone deliberately slandering us! ”

“……”

Looking at Li Zhuyun's surprised look, Mao Xu suddenly didn't dare to say anything.

Even in anger, Mao Xu didn't dare to tell what happened back then, it was definitely looking for death. Let's not talk about shame or shame, let's just say that Lao Bai's current status in the entertainment industry is not comparable to him as an outdated action star, if you really let people know......

Just thinking about it, Mao Xu simply shuddered!

It's not that Mao Xu thinks that Lao Bai can cover the sky with one hand in the circle and easily ban a star of his level. but with the box office failure of "Dead in the Night 3...... At least if he fails to achieve the expected goal, his own value will be further reduced. If there is a discord between Lao Bai and Mao Xu at this time, and the news is directed at him everywhere, who would dare to find himself to film?

Check the release of Mao Xu's past films, who can not understand?

As long as his new film is released, Lao Bai's movies will definitely come and intervene, with only one exception in the past few years.

So what happened back then, Mao Xu could only hide it deep in his heart.

However, the director of the other family was suspicious, and Mao Xu couldn't help but respond, so after twitching the corner of his mouth, he said embarrassedly: "I mean that "Avenger" was originally scheduled for April, but it was later raised to the end of March...... This isn't aimed at us, what is Dead in the Night 3? ”

"Cut ......"

Pouting, Li Zhuyun sat down again.

Hehe, scare Lao Tzu!

If he was really targeted by that old white, Li Zhuyun really couldn't think of what to rely on to resist! After all, in addition to the huge fan base, that person is now a Grammy and Oscar favorite almost every year, and his reputation in the domestic entertainment industry is also unparalleled for a while, seeing that his status is on par with Liang Ren, Chen Feifei and others......

No, no, it should be said that it is already higher than them!

At this time, if you just get on with that old white, then I really don't even know how to die!

So after putting this terrifying thought aside, Li Zhuyun said with a solemn face: "Okay, Mao Xu, don't think about those who have or don't!" Let's work hard and keep running. Anyway, it's better to make the final box office numbers look better......"
