do not know.

Not long after, this "Assassins" was screened in the Great Hall.

result……

It should be said that the audio and equipment in the hall are very good.

However, as far as the reaction of the entire scene is concerned.

Many audience members fell silent.

Among these audiences were journalists and people from all walks of life, many of whom were elites.

There are even quite a few of them, but they are all directed at Director Chen.

But it turned out that no one applauded or anything.

But it was okay, and finally gave applause.

Well, such a film...

"Mr. Chen, let's talk later."

"it is good."

This time, Jiang Wen had a solid idea.

So, what will happen to the movie at the box office?

……

Tokyo.

"Huh? You still want to help him with the screening?"

"Why not?"

"But does it do you any good?"

"There is no benefit, but do you have to seek benefits when doing things?"

"But, it's really strange."

"Haha...not surprising at all, really."

Takeshi Iwata finally returned to Japan, and finally reunited with his little wife Akina.

This... what movie are we talking about?

"Ming Cai."

"what happened?"

"It seems to be bigger again."

"You bastard!"

Ming Cai is embarrassed about this, even though they are old couples.

……

Soon, the results came out.

"The box office of "The Assassin" is far from meeting expectations!"

"I don't understand, I don't understand at all."

"Why are there so many dialects?"

That's right, after it was released in mainland China, not only did the movie fail to do well at the box office, but it also suffered a series of bad reviews!

……

"How much is the box office?"

"This one……"

"What? Is there anything you can't say?"

"Director Chen, this data is really..."

"Is it too little?"

"Ahem, there are still many movie theaters that haven't shown it yet. If you look at the box office at present, it will be relatively incomplete."

"Oh, I see what you mean."

To be honest, Xu Feng couldn't bear to see Director Chen this time.

She is already very good at talking, but this kind of talk is obviously useless.

That's right, the box office of "The Assassin" is over!

Although, in the current mainland film market, the reform of the theater chain system is just the beginning, that is to say, it is difficult to achieve a large-scale nationwide launch all at once.

Generally, it starts from the north and goes all the way to the south.

However, as far as the current feedback from several major cities in the north is concerned...it is really not optimistic.

Where are the major cities?

First of all, the four major cities in the Northeast.

These are the relatively representative consumer markets in mainland China at present, and they are quite important places.

As far as the current situation is concerned, everyone in the market understands that the Northeast market is very important.

Although it has been reopened now, and the Pearl River Delta has begun to develop explosively, but... the capitalists there are really not human.

The wages given to workers are really not much. As for the legends that they earn more, the price is long working hours.

It’s not that there is no development there, but that there is really no consumption there. It’s not that there are no big money, it’s not that there are no rich people, but that ordinary people are still in a state where it is difficult to really consume.

It's very simple, either earn less, or earn money desperately, how can there be time to spend?

And especially this movie, because this kind of consumption itself is not the kind of relatively basic consumption.

This is a spiritual and cultural need.

Just imagine, an assembly line worker has worked at least 10 hours a day, how can he have time to go to the cinema to watch a movie?

Therefore, as far as the film market is concerned, the Pearl River Delta has not been very active for quite a long time.

The Yangtze River Delta is better, and even the Sichuan and Sichuan regions are not bad.

Under such a situation, the northern market is even more important.

At least, for now, the economic system here is mostly state-owned enterprises or collective enterprises. The benefits for employees are not bad. Although the wages may not be high, they have more rest.

This is even more so in the Northeast. The big layoffs are at this stage.

Although this matter has a great impact, such as "The Piano of Steel", basically there will be a kind of sadness after watching it.

However, in terms of pursuit of the spiritual level, the Northeast is actually at the forefront of the country.

It's still "The Piano of Steel", why does the hero want to have a piano of steel?

Right, it's for the kids.

In fact, "The Piano of Steel" is just a small city, well, the original city is not small.

But like the hero, there are many Northeast parents who are willing to invest in art for their children.

It is precisely because of this that with Lang Lang, there is so-and-so...

There are many, many, really too many. In the Chinese art circle or entertainment circle, people from the Northeast account for more than half of the country.

Of course, in summary, this is because of the first-mover advantage. After all, the economy here was very good in the past.

But let’s not talk about that. The art of film needs a market. For this market, the Northeast and Beijing-Tianjin regions are very important at present.

However, what happened to "The Assassin" this time?

"I don't understand, it seems that there are many dialects."

"I don't know what you're talking about."

"In terms of the plot, it seems... the whole feeling is very exciting, and everyone is working hard."

Yes, the first one is that I don't understand!

This incomprehensible statement really came from movie fans who spent money to go to the theater to watch movies, and this statement was given at the first time.

It was given by a big TV station!

How big is the TV station?

CCTV, is it big enough?

There are also provincial TV stations in several places, which all give such a picture.

Generally speaking, word-of-mouth for movies this year requires some on-site investigations.

It is to find some audiences at the entrance of the movie theater to do a questionnaire.

This method is very popular abroad, and Japan and Hong Kong have also done a lot.

However, what we do in this area in our country is relatively general.

It is indeed being done, but when we do this kind of work, we Asians will feel... sorry, or something.

Even more perfunctory.

Everyone knows that there are a lot of papers, and you can just write them yourself, and the checks are not strict anyway.

right?

But this time is different!

CCTV went directly, and several provincial TV stations in the north that screened the film were able to come out.

Why?

This movie is your director Chen's work!

Who are you, Director Chen?

That is our country, the only winner of the highest award at the Cannes Film Festival.

Right, the movie "Farewell My Concubine" is so awesome, so how can this "Assassin Qin" be any worse?

Basically, the TV station is actually out of good intentions.

However, the result is such a result.

Most of the movie fans are complaining about this movie, or simply giving a bad review.

And as for saying that I don't understand...

That's right!

The main market is the Northeast. Everyone in the Northeast thinks they are speaking Mandarin.

We ourselves speak Mandarin, so it is difficult for us to understand the lines in your movie, so what do you mean?

Actually, as far as Director Chen is concerned, why did he use this dialect?

To be honest, this approach still has a certain theoretical basis.

College students who have studied Chinese majors know that there is a language course, including dialects.

There is also the historical change of Chinese.

In short, from a historical point of view, it is basically impossible for us modern people to understand what the ancient Chinese said 500 years ago.

Of course, we still have an advantage. There are Chinese characters, so we can understand them.

But if you listen with your ears, it is no different from listening to a foreign language.

In other words, if you really time-traveled, you would have to get used to it for at least a while.

The most obvious example is that we can see some sentences in ancient poems, according to our current pronunciation, they don't rhyme.

But in fact, in terms of ancient pronunciation, it rhymes very well and is very neat.
