Chapter 365 365. Rave reviews
"cheers!!!"
Laughter and laughter continued in a private restaurant, where the creators of "Speed" were celebrating the release of the movie.
Nie Wei put down her hand and drank half a glass of juice, took out her mobile phone and turned it on. As soon as the phone was turned on, text message notifications sounded immediately and continuously.
These are all messages sent by some friends.
"Director Nie, please consider me next time you make a movie. The price is negotiable." Xie Tingfeng left a message.
Seeing this, Nie Wei smiled. The other person's title to him was undoubtedly serious about his ability as a director. Although the latter sentence was meant to be a joke, it was also an intention.
"It's a very good movie, warm and funny, and not superficial. The teacher is very happy that you can produce such a work. However, there are still shortcomings in it. Please don't be complacent. Humility makes progress. If you have time, you can come to school. Discuss with the teachers and students of the directing department. "This is a message from my class teacher Wang Jinsong.
Wang Jinsong's message was both encouraging and educational, and he even gave Nie Wei advice from a teacher's perspective.
Seeing this, Nie Wei also replied that he would find time to go back to school to learn lessons as soon as possible.
In addition, Dong Xuan, Lin Shishi, Alan and other people who attended the premiere sent text messages to congratulate Nie Wei. They also expressed their love for the film in words, and Nie Wei also took it seriously. As soon as he replied, what surprised Nie Wei was that he also saw text messages from Hu Jun and Wang Jinghua in the text box of his mobile phone.
Hu Jun was a premiere guest invited by Nie Wei. Although the two of them didn't keep in touch after the company split, he was still present today. It was normal for him to send text messages at this time, but Wang Jinghua suddenly sent a text message. Nie Wei was really surprised.
"I heard about your movie from Xiao Hu. I heard it is very good. Sister Hua will find time to support her. I also hope that we can have the opportunity to cooperate in the future." The text message was very simple. From the content, Nie Wei found out about Wang Jinghua's attitude towards herself. Still cordial and affable, and implicitly proposing an intention to cooperate.
Although he didn't know why she suddenly showed her kindness, in order to show respect, Nie Wei politely replied to Sister Hua's text message immediately to say thank you.
While Nie Wei was busy replying to text messages, someone patted him on the shoulder. Nie Wei turned around and saw that it was Fan Binbin.
The girl's face turned a little red, maybe because she was affected by the lively atmosphere at the scene, or because she drank too much. When she saw Nie Wei looking up, she asked with a smile, "What are you busy with?"
"Reply the text message." Nie Wei picked up the phone and shook it at her.
"Oh, what text message did you reply to at the celebration party? Director Nie, you are so unreasonable. We have all drank liquor, and you are still drinking juice here. You are the protagonist today. Why don't you have a drink first?" Fan Binbin said. Taking the Moutai bottle, he found a clean cup and prepared to serve it to Nie Weiman.
"I'm responsible for driving today, so I won't drink." Nie Wei reached out to stop Fan Binbin and replied with a smile.
"Sister Binbin, I'll drink with you." Shu Chang, who had been watching for a long time, also intervened and stepped forward to help Nie Wei block the drink. Fan Binbin was startled by Shu Chang's sudden interruption, but he quickly laughed. , glanced at Shu Chang, and then playfully said to Nie Wei: "Director Nie is so lucky, good girls should be cherished."
"I'm curious about it." Faced with Fan Binbin's teasing, Nie Wei replied frankly.
Shu Chang's expression was a little shy after hearing this, while Fan Binbin was silent for a moment, and then silently put down the wine glass in her hand. Obviously, this mouthful of dog food made her feel unpalatable.
However, this woman's heart is very strong. Although she was force-fed a mouthful of dog food by Nie Wei and Shu Chang, she quickly recovered and pulled Xu Zheng aside to drink beer and liquor in various ways.
Just then, Nie Wei's cell phone rang again. At first, Nie Wei thought it was another congratulatory text message from a friend, but he found that it was an unfamiliar number. When he opened it, he was instantly delighted by the content. .
"Everyone, be quiet for a moment. I just received some good news and thought I should share it with you immediately." Nie Wei stood up and said to everyone.
After hearing the good news about Nie Wei, many people's faces suddenly showed expressions of curiosity or joy.
"Director, stop being so secretive and tell me quickly."
"Director, has the first wave of box office data come out? It must be pretty good, right?"
"It's only been more than an hour, how could the box office data be released so quickly?"
Because of Nie Wei's only words, everyone was talking about it. It wasn't until Nie Wei asked everyone to be quiet again that everyone focused on Nie Wei again.
"We just received news from the theater that the audience survey report of the nationwide premiere theaters has been released, and the favorable rating exceeds 95%. Facts have proved that audiences in the north and south really like our movies." Nie Wei announced loudly.
This news instantly detonated everyone gathered at the dinner table. Although the box office data has not yet come out, the favorable response rate from the audience immediately gave everyone present a shot in the arm. Many people even began to speculate on the box office data on the first day. , some people even speculated whether it would exceed 10 million. When this number was mentioned, not only the people discussing it, but also the people listening on the sidelines turned red with excitement.
Although there are movies in the industry where word-of-mouth and box office are not equal, most of them are literary and artistic films. On the contrary, commercial films, as long as they have good word-of-mouth, their box office is bound to not be that bad. This is why everyone heard Nie Wei say that word-of-mouth The reason why I am so excited when it is very good is that "Speed Scandal" is a purely commercial movie after all.
"Let's drink to the good results our movie is about to achieve!!!" Nie Wei took the lead and toasted with all the main creators. The celebration banquet lasted for nearly three hours and did not end until midnight. Nie Wei replied After arriving at his new home, he fell asleep, but at this time, the discussion about "Speed Scandal" on the Internet had just begun.
The first batch of viewers who watched the premiere and the film critics and celebrities invited by Huayi were important guests who started the discussion.
When Li Lu returned to her home, she immediately opened her blog and wrote an article praising Nie Wei.
"For Nie Wei's first movie, after watching the trailer, I walked into the theater with high expectations. Then I thought about it, as long as Nie Wei can hand in a qualified answer, after all, he is very good as an actor. , but as a director he is a complete rookie, but after watching the movie "Speed Scandal", I found that I was wrong.
The excitement of this movie exceeded my expectations. It is hard to imagine that it is the debut of a rookie director. Whether it is the use of lenses or the design of the plot, Nie Wei's sophistication as a director is reflected in every aspect. .
If I were to rate according to my thoughts before entering the cinema, I would give him 20 points out of 10. If I were to rate based on the standards for a great director, I would also give him at least 8 out of 10. Now I can't give an exact number, because I think such an excellent film should be watched several times before making a decision. "
After Li Lu spent a few hundred words praising Nie Wei's work, she used another thousand words to analyze the shooting techniques and plot arrangements of the movie. She even praised the music that appeared in the movie, especially It was the song "Gift" that she recommended several times in her articles.
In addition, many artists, film critics and even the vast majority of the audience are looking at the movie "Tap Water". They clicked on the topic of "Speed Scandal" on their blogs, and the comments below are full of praise.
Good reviews, good reviews, countless good reviews, and so many good reviews also made many viewers who were not interested suddenly become interested in watching it. Especially this movie was criticized by many media at the beginning, but now it seems , everything seems to be the opposite. The work that was praised by the media as definitely a bad movie has now undergone a big turnaround and become a rare good movie. This has also made many viewers who do not know the truth more and more curious, and gradually feel in their hearts I had the idea of going into a movie theater to see what was going on.
The public has a tendency to follow the herd. The reason why there will be many good films in the future that starts low and sells high is because of the fermentation of word-of-mouth. There is no doubt that "Speed Scandal" is also on this path. The key is that its starting point is higher. From the beginning to the present There is no shortage of topics and it is easy to pique the audience's interest.
When the main mass of movie fans walked into the cinema during the next day and chose to watch the movie, the movie also ushered in a real explosive period.
The first-day box office data was 12.6 million! ! !
The moment this report card was announced, all the filmmakers in the industry opened their mouths in surprise and called Nie Wei a monster.
This is a premiere box office figure that many big-name actors and actresses cannot achieve, but it was achieved by Nie Wei, a rookie director, with a group of rookie film actors. Many filmmakers even felt that their world view was different when they got this data. All subverted.
When they thought about Nie Wei's investment in this movie, they became even more envious.
You must know that when "Speed Scandal" was announced, it claimed to have an investment of 15 million, but in fact after seeing the cast and content of the movie, many filmmakers believed that the movie would cost up to 10 million. In fact, it did In this way, when Nie Wei finally settled the bill, the entire movie actually cost less than 11 million.
The box office on the first day exceeded 12 million. It seems that the money can be recovered in two days. Then the remaining box office will become pure income! ?
Even Wang Zhonglei couldn't help laughing for a long time when he got the first-day box office results.
When Nie Wei asked for funds, he was quite unhappy. Even after reading the script, he still had doubts. In the end, it was Nie Wei's insistence and the provisions of the contract that made him determined to take out the money. Now it seems , my initial hesitation was really short-sighted, but now Nie Wei's performance was amazing.
Wang Zhonglei's secretary Xiao Tang knows best about Wang Zhonglei's surprise.
Several times when he went in to deliver documents to Mr. Wang, he saw Wang Zhonglei sitting there holding the first-day box office data sheet and making a tut-tutting sound of praise. He also received a call from Wang Zhonglei more than once, asking if there were any new releases for this movie. Regarding box office data feedback, he asked six times in the morning and called almost every hour. Such frequent inquiries also show how high his expectations for the movie's box office are.
Nie Wei, who was at the center of the movie theater discussion at the moment, was hiding at home, rummaging all over the bed for the charger with her cell phone that had just run out of power.
"Really, can't you clean it up yourself without Auntie?" Shu Chang said helplessly while looking at Nie Wei's messy bed.
"It's messy when sleeping anyway, so I don't think it's necessary to fold the quilt." Nie Wei took the charger she had just found and plugged in her phone while she excused herself sheepishly.
After all, his sloppy side was suddenly seen by his girlfriend. Even though he was very thick-skinned, Nie Wei felt a little hot.
Shu Chang didn't say anything else, but expressed it with actions. He helped Nie Wei to make the bed, sort out the clothes, and then sweep and mop the floor. He was busy for most of the day and was sweating when he finished.
"Hurry up and drink some water and take a break." Seeing Shu Chang put down the mop, Nie Wei said flatteringly, bringing a cup of warm water that he had prepared long ago.
Seeing his girlfriend helping him clean the house, he also wanted to help, but he found that in front of Shu Chang, who had full housework attributes, his two tricks were purely a hindrance. Not only could he not reduce Shu Chang's burden, but he would also make her work more difficult. In desperation, Nie Wei had to shrink on the sofa and do the logistical work of handing rags and water.
"I think we should find a housekeeping aunt." Nie Wei handed the water to Shu Chang and continued. Hearing Nie Wei's words, Shu Chang, who had just drunk half of the water, immediately put down the water cup and shook his head vigorously.
"No, this is our home. I don't want outsiders to come. At most, I can come and clean more in the future." Shu Chang was like a little tiger protecting her territory, guarding it strictly and not wanting strangers to break into her and Nie Wei's private space.
The key is that she also considered the issue of their identities. It is convenient to have a housekeeper, but their identities are also special. It's okay to hire a tight-lipped auntie, but if you hire a gossipy one and expose the relationship between her and Nie Wei, it will be a big trouble.
With Shu Chang's reminder, Nie Wei also understood this and smiled helplessly.
"Actually, it's nothing to be exposed." After a moment of silence, Nie Wei suddenly said.
This sentence made Shu Chang, who was preparing to peel an apple for Nie Wei, tremble suddenly, and the sharp fruit knife instantly cut her fingers.
Nie Wei was sharp-eyed and saw this scene immediately. He hurried to find the medical kit to stop the bleeding for Shu Chang. However, Shu Chang, who was cut, seemed to feel no pain at all. He held up the injured finger blankly, but his eyes were dull. It was obvious that his mind was not on the injury at all.
"Look at you, you are so careless that you can cut yourself while peeling an apple. Let me do this kind of work next time. Don't you know that I am a person with the title of "Fruit Master" in the fruit industry?" Nie Wei skillfully disinfected Shu Chang and bandaged the wound while jokingly saying that he mainly wanted to divert Shu Chang's attention and not let her focus on the injured finger.
If the attention is distracted, the wound will naturally not feel so painful, but Nie Wei's thoughts were in vain. Why did he need to divert it? At this moment, Shu Chang's mind was not on the wound at all. She didn't even feel the pain of the wound. She was only thinking about the words that Nie Wei said just now, whether intentionally or unintentionally.
