Chapter 408: Your Uncle is Still Your Uncle
On the eleventh day of its release, the box office of "Iron Fist of Shame" had exceeded one billion.
Although there are some bad reviews on the Internet, it does not affect the box office results of the movie.
Just like on the earth, many people say that this film is not as good as "Charlotte's Troubles", saying that this film has no connotation at all, but the box office has reached 2.2 billion, and among all the movies in 2017, the box office is second only to "Wolf Warrior 2".
And someone in the industry has calculated that the profit of this movie may be second only to "Wolf Warrior 2" among all the movies in the country.
When Happy Twist's team was a big success in "Charlotte's Troubles", they also faced a lot of bad reviews, saying that this movie was a dick's obscenity.
In the face of these comments, Happy Twist learned from the pain and decided to follow the wishes of netizens to make a comedy with connotation, and then, "Donkey Gets Water" was naturally produced.
This is a comedy full of black humor, and the irony in it is very strong, and if you want to talk about the connotation, it is definitely rich in connotation.
And then what?
The box office is only 170 million!
Obviously, it was filmed in accordance with the wishes of this group of netizens, and it was obvious that these people were applauding, and it was clear that the score on Douban was so high, but why was the box office low? Why didn't everyone come to see it?
Because this group of people is still a niche, if it is made according to their wishes, it will also be a niche movie, and it will be popular.
This is the difference between the target group, the difference between the minority and the masses.
"Iron Fist of Shame" is a product that came into being after the box office hit the street of "Donkey Gets Water".
The Happy Twist team has made a very successful commercial film, with only one goal, that is, to let more audiences into the theater to watch, and then make you laugh, that's all.
Lu Xiaosu has seen the journey of Happy Twist, which is why he chose "Iron Fist of Shame" among the three comedies.
From the perspective of investors, he feels that this movie may not be the best movie of Happy Twist, but it must be the most mature commercial film.
He's not just a director, he's also the owner of a film and television company, so he has to think about interests.
If you want to make a film with connotation, he will definitely not choose comedy. Since he has made comedies, he only pursues laughter and box office.
Therefore, even if "Iron Fist of Shame" faces the same situation as on the earth, the box office is high, and the box office is a slap in the face.
No matter how dark you are, anyway, the box office is singing all the way, ranking first in the same period!
Someone in the industry calculated an account and was surprised to find that the income that this "Iron Fist of Shame" has brought to Lu Xiaosu may be higher than that of "Warring States", which broke the box office record some time ago.
Don't look at the box office of "Warring States", which is as high as more than 200 million, but when it comes to the ability to attract money, it may be really inferior to "Iron Fist of Shame".
Even the director of "Warring States", Zhou Guohuai, the No. 1 director in China, publicly said: "This "Iron Fist of Shame" is a very mature commercial comedy, I am very surprised, Lu Xiaosu is so young, he can figure out some problems that many directors have not figured out so far, if there is a chance, I hope to cooperate with him." ”
From "The Return of the Great Sage" to create a miracle of domestic animation, to "Those Years", it rained a heavy rain called youth that covered the whole country, and now "Iron Fist of Shame" has created a commercial myth.
In the end, the movie ended with a box office of 1.57 billion, ranking second at the box office of domestic films, second only to "Warring States"!
When it comes to the company's earnings, it definitely surpasses "Warring States".
It's a pity that because of the background of the times, the "Iron Fist of Shame" in this time and space cannot reach the level of more than two billion on the earth.
Despite this, the large amount of money is also the envy of major film and television companies. No matter what the outside world says, we naturally open a company to make money, and Lu Xiaosu's money journey can be described as bright.
……
……
Kyoto, the small home of Lu Xiaosu and Su Lingxi.
Su Lingxi's troll attributes have been fully opened in the past few days, and he has devoted himself to the scolding battle with netizens.
Looking at the little girl's "shrew scolding the street", Lu Xiaosu only felt that she couldn't cry or laugh.
In Su Lingxi's eyes, Lu Xiaosu's movies are naturally the best, or all his works are the best.
In her opinion, Lu Xiaosu is an all-round genius, isn't it just that he occasionally changes his taste and makes a purely commercial movie, as for directly saying that he is exhausted?
"Old rookie, make a movie with a higher style and commercialization for them to take a good look!" Su Lingxi lay on the table, nibbling on a small biscuit like a hamster, puffing out as he gnawed.
She waved her little fist and said, "When the time comes, go to the awards ceremony and win a few awards, and see if any of them dare to say that your movie is in low style!" Hum! ”
Lu Xiaosu smiled and rubbed her little head, then snatched the half-eaten biscuits, stuffed them directly into her mouth and said, "I have prepared a script like the one you said, but this movie is a bit tricky." ”
"What's so tricky? Give me the script. Su Lingxi jumped up from the sofa and said.
Lu Xiaosu nodded, and went into the room to print out the movie script with a printer.
Su Lingxi leaned on him and carefully flipped through the script, while Lu Xiaosu turned on Su Lingxi's mobile phone and looked at her scolding record with Internet trolls.
Not to mention, Su Xiaolu's combat effectiveness is quite strong, and he scolded many trolls in a daze.
Internet trolls scolded her for being Lu Xiaosu's brainless fan, and she replied directly: "Yes, I am, what?" ”
For this kind of rogue play, the trolls are also a little confused.
It's the first time I've seen this kind of "I'm a brainless fan, I'm glorious" people.
The movie script is not long, Su Lingxi quickly finished reading it, after reading it, she glanced at Lu Xiaosu and said seriously: "This script is really super tricky!" ”
"Right? I'll just say it's troublesome, right? Lu Xiaosu said helplessly.
After Su Lingxi finished reading the script, she already had a clear answer to the choice of the male protagonist of this movie. In the entire entertainment industry, I am afraid that there is no one more suitable for playing the male lead than him.
But this big Buddha, Lu Xiaosu may not be able to move.
Today's Lu Xiaosu is also a big man in the entertainment industry, and it can be said that almost the entire entertainment industry has to sell him a few thin noodles, but there is one guy who is an exception.
Your uncle is always your uncle......
This master is Lu Xiaosu's father.
In this movie, the entire entertainment industry can't find a second person who is more suitable to play the leading role than Dad, and he is simply acting in his true colors.
It's as if the film was made just for him.
However, Lu Xiaosu was not sure to convince him.

(ps: The second update, this movie should be easy to guess, everyone should have guessed it, hehe.) )
