The quality of a movie never had any direct relationship with the box office. In history, many big productions with a good reputation were praised to the sky before they were released on a large scale.
Whether it was the filmmakers or the film critics, they all tried their best to flatter it, thinking that this work would become a historical benchmark. In fact, they were right. It was just that this benchmark was not a record high, but a record low.
Similarly, there were also some works that people were not optimistic about that had been released all the way, creating an incomprehensible return rate that people could not understand, leaving people speechless.
But did people really not know why?
No, in fact, people knew, but they were not willing to say it.
Filmmakers, film critics, and other "upper-class people" in and out of the industry, their evaluation of movies was completely based on "artistic".
In the process of watching the movie, they would seriously think about whether this part of the plot had a deeper meaning, whether that part of the plot had any origins, and even the inconspicuous small details in the picture would not be missed.
For example, when a film critic was advocating a movie, he focused on the pattern of the movie's wallpaper to reflect the deep meaning of the movie from the pattern.
These people's pursuit of art was obviously too high, or it could be said that they were like this. They needed to see something that vulgar mortals could not see.
Some directors were also happy to do so. They flattered each other, which was also a special cultural atmosphere in the entertainment industry.
However, what ordinary people pursued had never been artistic. On the one hand, they had not received a good education. They did not know whether the thorny vines on the wallpaper came from roses or thorns. It was even more impossible to figure out the meaning of roses and thorns in religious, historical, and mythological stories. Naturally, it was impossible for them to understand the content behind these insinuations.
On the other hand, ordinary people pursued applicability and practicality. They could not accept things that were too high-end. Throughout the history of movies, all movies with religious content would always have high ratings and low box office sales. This was because people were not interested. Only film critics and filmmakers were interested.
This was just like this movie. Lynch had heard some film critics behind him more than once ridiculing its content in a low voice with their unique spicy tone. Some people even left on the spot to show their aloofness.
On the contrary, the real audience in the audience seats watched with relish. Whether they came to watch the story or the naoko, at least they were very satisfied with the happiness that the movie brought to them.
This was the reason why they entered the theater. As for leaving the theater?
Other than reminiscing about the naoko and buttocks, they did not want to think about whether the aliens represented some kind of unequal system or whether the supernatural power obtained by the heroine was some kind of power above the secular world!
Eh, now that I think about it, this seems to have become a masterpiece with profound content and a satire of reality!
The movie gradually came to an end. When the heroine stabbed a dagger into the eye of the truck driver who violated her and almost killed her, the plot finally reached its climax.
Seeing the female lead bathing in the enemy's blood, the audience in the back row obviously liked this kind of revenge scene.
As for the film critics?
They only knew how to bullshit!
It was a good movie. Lin Qi gave it an objective evaluation. At least the male fans would not hesitate to buy the tickets and enter the cinema to enjoy about 80 minutes of fun. Even if this movie did not make a lot of money, it could still break even.
When the production list appeared, the lights in the cinema lit up. People stood up one after another, either enthusiastically or indifferently applauding.
Lynch shook hands with Mr. Fox. "Congratulations, this is the first step to success. I believe it's also the first step to legend!"
Mr. Fox's mood and mood were on point. Not long ago, he was an insignificant person who specialized in gray business in an inconspicuous rural area. In the blink of an eye, he had begun to associate with these celebrities and even made a movie. This was the most unimaginable thing in his life, but it had become a reality.
"I want to thank you, Lynch. If it weren't for you, maybe I would still be a finance company manager who can't see the light of day!"
This was also one of Mr. Fox's greatest strengths. He not only knew how to hold grudges, but he also knew how to remember kindness.
Lynch smiled and let go of his hand. "Now it's your time!"
After the premiere, there was actually a cold dinner party. However, this kind of cold dinner party was usually not reported by many people. Of course, the main reason was that reporters could not enter.
During the cold dinner party, the local production companies and industry people were circling around Mr. Fox and Mr. Fox. Because of well-known reasons, the number of investment projects in Lardimo this year was pitifully low. Some production companies even went bankrupt suddenly.
A large number of unemployed people wandered the streets. This place was no different from other places.
Now that Mr. Fox and Mr. Fox had appeared in front of people with their new movie and company, the filmmakers were naturally circling around them like sharks who smelled blood.
They were either directors who had made movies before, sponsors of projects, or stars. Their only thought was to leave a deep impression on the two investors. It would be best if they could attract some investment.
As for Lynch, there was actually someone on his side as well. However, his style was slightly higher. He was chatting with the vice president of a production company that was one of the top five in the Federation.
Lynch's Interstellar Trading Company had officially submitted the filing records for the division. He had also applied to the relevant departments for the preliminary procedures for the staff sergeant. This meant that the Interstellar Trading Company would soon be listed on the three major exchanges.
If this kind of thing happened a few years ago, people would not care. At that time, even a garbage recycling station had a great chance of being listed and making a huge profit.
However, now that the company dared to be listed in a bad environment, it meant that it had absolute determination. For example, if a company had a market value of 10 million yuan, it would issue 10 million shares after being listed. The price of each share would be one yuan, which was exactly the same as its market value.
After the shares were issued, people's buying behavior would cause its price to rise rapidly, thus stimulating more capital inflows. This was also why new shares were bound to make money.
When the price of each share changed from one yuan to two yuan, the total value of 10 million shares would reach 20 million yuan. In other words, even if the company did not generate any profits during this period, its market value would double.
This was a normal situation. However, it was very difficult for this kind of situation to happen now. Perhaps someone would buy a portion of the shares at the beginning. The free trade in the free market could not be completely simulated. It was just a guess. Someone would definitely do that, even if everyone thought it was stupid.
After a period of time, these people who bought the shares realized that the price of the shares did not fluctuate much. Some of them wanted to change shares or needed cash. If they urgently needed the money, they would sell the shares at a relatively low price. The price of the shares would then fall. The last transaction price would be the real-time market price.
The fall in the price of the shares meant that the shares in the hands of every investor were depreciating. This speed would only get faster and faster in the current market situation.
It was not right to be listed now. Some companies thought that they could withstand the winter after the financial crisis. However, as soon as they were listed, their market value was cut in half. Now, they were considering delisting or had already been delisted.
Therefore, Lynch's move to be listed had attracted the attention of some domestic investors. This young man from Saibin City and his company were making huge profits from second-hand goods.
"I noticed, Mr. Lynch. You're one of the major shareholders of this company. That's why I'm here!"
The vice president of Rare Surprise Box Productions told Lynch without hiding anything. He came here because of Lynch, not because of Fox and Son or the movie.
Rare Surprise Box Productions originated from a circus. At that time, they also had simple broadcasting equipment. After the circus ended, they would broadcast some of the programs that existed in the past but no longer existed.
Later, the circus owner realized that people did not seem to be sensitive to the live circus programs. Even if there were some changes in the program and the actors were changed, the audience would not notice it.
However, if the program was not right, the audience would quickly notice it.
This meant that the audience was more interested in the broadcast program than the live performance. This made the circus owner earn a lot of money.
He hired some circus performers to perform their tricks at a very low price. Then, he recorded it and sent them away. Then, as long as these programs were broadcasted everywhere, he would be able to earn a steady stream of income. He did not need to support the circus performers and provide them with a salary.
In the end, the circus was only left with a clown to warm up the scene and a young woman to warm the bed. However, the circus owner never made less money.
Under such circumstances, the circus owner became the first batch of producers in the Federation. He began to spend money to hire more circus movies or movies with other themes. The clown who jumped out of Rare Surprise Box became the company's trademark.
Now, Rare Surprise Box Productions had become a heavyweight force in the Federation's entertainment industry. No matter where they went, they were the focus of attention.
Listening to the flattery of the vice president of Rare Surprise Box Productions, Lynch smiled and nodded. He then raised the wine glass in his hand. "I'm honored!"
The two of them took a sip of the wine in their glasses. They might not even have drunk it. They just let the wine wet their lips.
"Mr. Lynch, if you want to try investing in the entertainment industry, you might as well consider our company. Maybe you'll be interested in our future development plans!"
