Zhang Yimou's new film did not do well at the box office.
From the release in late October to December, the box office was only 8 million in more than a month, which is not bad if it is an ordinary domestic movie.
But that's Zhang Yimou, a big director in China.
In the past, the box office of his films released in China basically did not fall below 10 million, and the highest reached more than 50 million.
There are many reasons for the box office failure of this film, one is the distribution problem, and the theater scheduling rate in the country is not high.
There are also actors who are all newcomers, have no box office appeal, the audience doesn't buy it, and film critics have mixed reviews of the film.
Some people think it's a good movie, and Zhang Yimou tells a touching story.
Some people also criticized this movie for not only having beautiful pictures and beautiful music, but only Zhang Ziyi's face remains, and there is no plot, just like an extended version of a music video.
The profession of film critic has a certain degree of professionalism, but at the same time, it will also have personal tendencies.
Unlike professional theorists, they are more free and casual when publishing film reviews, and they will give bad reviews if they think they are not good-looking.
In other words, domestic film critics pay more attention to personal feelings.
Of course, the quality of a movie takes time to precipitate, and Lin Zixuan feels that this movie is okay, at least above the level.
Although the domestic box office is not good, the film does not lose money, Zhang Yimou is taking the international route, and the income from overseas copyright alone is enough to recover the investment, he doesn't care about this.
This is the difference between Zhang Yimou and Feng Xiaogang.
Feng Xiaogang's movies can't be sold overseas, even if they are sold, they are packaged for sale, and at the price of cabbage, he can only rely on the domestic box office to recover his investment, so he pays more attention to the feelings of the audience.
Zhang Yimou didn't care and didn't say anything, but his partner, Zhang Weiping, couldn't sit still.
The film has Zhang Weiping's investment, and the domestic box office failure means that his income has decreased, so he is naturally not very willing.
In an interview, he denounced the film critics as unprofessional, the audience did not understand art, and by the way, he also picked up Time.com.
There is a lot of noise about Zhang Yimou's new film on Time Online, and the score is slightly lower.
This slightly lower is compared to Zhang Yimou's other movies, but it is not low.
Zhang Yimou's new film score is 6.9, the movie is alive score is 8.6, Feng Xiaogang's sigh score is 7.2, and Party A and Party B's score are 7.8.
Relatively speaking, the feeling score is low.
There is a problem of time here, the longer the evaluation of a movie, the fairer the evaluation, and there are not many people who rate a new film, and it is easy to be affected by all aspects.
Zhang Weiping believes that Zhang Yimou's movie does not have a high rating of a messy patchwork Chinese New Year film, which is boring.
He pointed out that this website is a website owned by a certain film company, and the film reviews and ratings on the website are deliberately aimed at Zhang Yimou.
Although Zhang Weiping did not name names, the spearhead was directed at Good Dream Company, believing that Good Dream Company was suspected of smearing Zhang Yimou.
A report like this that has a negative impact on the company will definitely let Lin Zixuan know.
After reading the report, Lin Zixuan was quite helpless, your movie has a poor box office, blame the rating of my website.
After two years of development, Time.com has a certain influence in the film circle, and many film critics or insiders will post some more professional comments on the website or inquire about movie information when they have time.
Movie lovers also love to come and find their favorite films.
In order to ensure the relative fairness of the scoring system, the website stipulates that only users who have registered for three months are eligible for rating, and once it is found that a user deliberately gives the lowest score for multiple videos, the website will block the user's account.
If a film has a low score, the site's staff will check whether it's a problem with the movie itself or a human factor.
Lin Zixuan hasn't said which movie he has deliberately targeted, so there is really no need for this.
Besides, the Internet is not yet popular, and the impact of Time.com on the audience is limited, otherwise Good Dream Company does not need to invest 10 million to publicize the funeral of the big name, and it is not better to publicize it directly through the Internet.
Zhang Wei commented that this person is not popular in the film industry, and he has contradictions with many people.
It can't be said that he doesn't speak through his brain, he will only offend people, what he values is interests, and he will befriend whoever can bring him benefits, otherwise he will be the target of his attack.
As long as he can entrap Zhang Yimou, and Zhang Yimou can make money for him.
Zhang Yimou may also need such a person to take care of everything for him, so that he can have time to concentrate on making movies.
Now that it has been criticized, Good Dreams has to respond.
"Time.com is a non-profit website, mainly to facilitate everyone to find movie information, as for the film review and rating is the spontaneous behavior of netizens, the website will not interfere, if you think that the website's rating is unfair, under the written notice of the film copyright owner, we will delete the information of the film from the website, and publish this notice to give netizens an explanation."
This is a statement released by Time.com.
As long as Zhang Weiping's new film company sends a written notice, Time.com will delete all the information of Zhang Yimou's new film and put this written notice on the website to explain the ins and outs of the matter.
Whose loss is this, it's hard to say at present, it depends on whether Time.com can develop and grow in the future.
As the site's influence grows, this written notice becomes a joke.
This is a game, and the website can't back down, it depends on whether Zhang Weiping will send a written notice.

After waiting for a few days, Zhang Weiping did not respond, and it seems that there will be no follow-up.
This incident reminded Lin Zixuan that it was time to separate Time.com and Haomeng Company and establish an independent network company.
After the spin-off, the funds required by him to bear the time network are actually no different from the original.
The events of Time.com were just a small episode, and Lin Zixuan focused on the premiere of the funeral of the big names.
This premiere has the participation of Columbia Asia Films, which rarely has a premiere for domestic films.
This is a habit in Hollywood, inviting a large group of stars to walk the red carpet and reporters to interview and take pictures is a good means of publicity, and it also costs a lot of money, which is in line with international standards.
According to international practice, the attendees should wear formal attire, first for a cocktail party, then to watch a movie, and after watching the movie, it is a press conference.
This is not easy to accept in China, Lin Zixuan removed the link of the cocktail party, watched the movie directly, and then accepted an interview with reporters.
As for whether to wear formal clothes or not, it depends on personal habits, there is no mandatory requirement, and any conventions must be followed by local customs, and cannot be rigidly copied.
The premiere of the funeral of the big names was held on December 18 at the Palace of National Culture in Beijing. t1706231537:
