Yang Mi made a movie on a whim, but he didn't expect to get himself into it.
"There is nothing that can't be solved by a hot pot" starring Yang Mi was released for 5 days during the May Day holiday, but because of the dismal box office, it was announced that it would be withdrawn and re-screened at a later date.
The withdrawal in the past two years is nothing new in the film industry, Deng Chao, Andy Lau and others have also experienced this kind of difficulty, the purpose of the withdrawal is to avoid the edge of other movies, and choose a new time to release it, to put it bluntly, it is to stop the loss as much as possible and give it a go, what if you meet the right audience at the right time?
It's just that what people didn't expect was that a few days after the official announcement of the withdrawal of "Hot Pot", it suddenly changed to a webcast and went online, which can be described as unexpected, and many netizens complained that some movie theaters didn't even have time to finish withdrawing, and the film party couldn't wait to sell it to Youku, and it also hit the audience who spent money to go to the cinema before, and everyone shouted for the film company to return the money.
In other words, this movie is really full of twists and turns, at the earliest, due to the lack of publicity, it changed the schedule once, and decided to impact this year's May Day file after rescheduling, but the box office and word-of-mouth are indescribable, director Ding Sheng once sold miserably on the Internet and cried bitterly for this movie, which also made many insiders see all the jokes.
And Yang Mi, as the heroine of the film, is not going to go up at the box office, and she is naturally to blame, in addition to being ridiculed for her acting skills, her commercial value has also been questioned, saying that she has no box office appeal and is a top stream who is not in the climate.
The film finally won more than 50 million box office, most of the credit has to be Yang Mi's fans, when the roadshow was made, fans didn't miss a game, fans from all over the country gathered together to call Yang Mi, light travel fees, accommodation, tickets, etc. are all a lot of expenses, plus some fans in order to do data, even swiped several times, but now, Youku members watch it for free, which makes fans become clowns?
Many netizens feel that the film side of "Hot Pot" looks ugly, and some people pointed out that the withdrawal is just an excuse, only a few days before and after, even if the contract is signed through the formal process, it is not so fast, it should be that the two parties have already negotiated and sold it at a high price, because they know in their hearts that even if it is released for the second time, it is estimated that it will not rise much at the box office, because the quality of the movie itself is not good.
On the day of May 8th, the film "Hot Pot" held a creative exchange activity at the Beijing Film Academy, and director Ding Sheng also talked about the withdrawal, he said that it is difficult to publicize the film, there is a threshold for watching the movie, and it is not particularly easy to see it, so the word of mouth will be more polarized.
And there was also a well-known director Xie Fei in the industry who was present that day, and his comments on this movie were even more to the point, saying that the movie type was unclear, the suspense was unclear, the sensationalism was not concentrated, and the laughter was not concentrated.
It is reported that when director Ding Sheng was preparing for this movie, it was very smooth from beginning to end, and it was also a quick decision to negotiate cooperation with the actors, and it took only more than 20 days to complete the filming of the content of the work, and it seems that the cost is only more than 20 million.
It's just that Yang Mi's reputation this time does have an impact, the film market is not as good as a TV series, you can't just look at the book and the role, the film market involves too many interest chains, which are twists and turns, involving many objective and uncontrollable factors, she has to keep her eyes open in the future, especially the producer this time, not only Yang Mi, all actors in domestic entertainment should avoid lightning, purely regardless of the life or death of the actors, since it has been changed to the webcast, the friends who haven't watched it should hurry up and go to the trial, it is still a benefit for the vast majority of netizens.
