At the end of July, the summer file entered the late stage.

"Red Cliff", which was released for 21 days, was mediocre at the box office due to word-of-mouth, and only got 13 million box office in the first four days of the fourth week, with a total box office of 260 million.

This number has surpassed last year's annual Chinese film box office champion "Assembly", and basically the box office of 300 million is already a certainty.

The box office potential of the most watched movies in the summer has almost been exhausted, not to mention that another Hollywood blockbuster "Superman Hancock", which was released at the beginning of the month, is close to the end of the painting.

August 8th is the Olympics again, and several blockbusters have been moved to March and April, and it is not unreasonable to prefer not to have a summer vacation file than to face the impact of the Olympic Games.

In the whole of August, there were only four movies, "The Incredible Hulk", "Ten Perfect", "Xinyue Fairy Tale", and "Deserted Village Inn", and there was not a single decent blockbuster, and it was far worse than the film market in March and April.

However, just when the smoke of the summer season was about to be extinguished, the release of "Jaws: Revenge" once again ignited the entire market, and the high box office of 1.3 million at zero point was enough to prove the audience's expectations for such a movie.

As a film with a foundation of fame, "Jaws: Revenge" was treated much better by the media and professional film critics at the beginning of its release than when "Frequency of Life and Death" was first released last year.

Many media and film critics immediately began various reports and comments after the premiere and zero point screening.

"The tight plot structure and the terrifying atmosphere created by "Jaws: Revenge" portrayed the selfishness, money worship, vanity and pride of human nature are vividly expressed, but on the whole it is still slightly inferior to the first part, and the same routine will always be aesthetically tired when you watch it for the second time!"

"Jaws: Revenge is the sequel to last year's phenomenal online movie Jaws. To some extent, it is already the pinnacle of domestic thriller horror films, the great white shark that still holds the pipa and half-covers its face, harvested the fear of millions of viewers across the country in the summer file, which makes me remember it vividly, I thought that the sequel could make a breakthrough on the basis of the first part, but it is purely old wine in new bottles, for audiences who want to watch this movie, I suggest that you can watch the first part again directly on the computer. ”

"The plot narrative is complete, the rhythm is relaxed, the details are in place, the character conflicts, and the elusive shark, "Jaws: Revenge" has all achieved above the passing line, but after watching the whole film, there is always a feeling of tastelessness, the only eye-catching thing is at the end, the third shark that suddenly appeared, completed revenge, and killed the male protagonist. ”

"The mediocre work is far from being amazing when I first watched the first part, but it is already very good for a new director, after all, geniuses are always a minority, and overall "Jaws: Revenge" is still a qualified thriller horror film. ”

"Even with the first Zhuyu in front of me, the elusive great white shark in the film still touches my heart all the time, and even begins to look forward to the revenge of this female shark, the absolute domination level of power in the ocean, the powerlessness of human beings in the face of this powerful creature, and the shock and bloody scene of the great white shark that instantly devours human life, which is really moving to watch. ”

"is also a new director, Qi Yukun is not Li Qian, this sequel is far from the shock that the first part brought me, although the resort owner and the village chief are still the biggest obstacle around the male protagonist, but the sequel does not have the full and determined tough guy captain, the lower half of his body was swallowed by the white shark, and he also inserted a knife into the head of the great white shark for the last time.

Another marine biology expert in the second part is also more like a passerby who appears for a specific plot, without a strong support to confirm the correctness of the actor's conjecture, except for the obstruction from the capitalists, the whole film is slightly empty, becoming a simple thriller horror film.

The second great white shark appeared to attack humans, the capitalists didn't believe it, the protagonist was helpless, attacked humans again, the capitalists still hindered the protagonist, the protagonist was still helpless, after three times and twice, the matter was so serious that the capitalists couldn't ignore it, and when they couldn't hide it at all, the protagonist was powerful and killed the second great white shark.

Compared with the first part, it seems to be carved out of a mold and has become an assembly line product. ”

......

"These people are too picky, too. ”

On the morning of the 31st, Li Qian and them gathered in the studio, looking at these film reviews that were obviously not compliments, Guo Fan was a little angry.

His movie premiered today and is about to be officially released, and I was a little apprehensive when I saw that Qi Yukun's film had a very average reputation among professional film critics.

"It's normal, there's nothing strange about it, the first part can be filmed, and the second part can't get any tricks, and after watching too much, I will naturally get aesthetic fatigue, and this kind of commercial horror film has always been unpopular with film critics, so it's good if I haven't been scolded. ”

Li Qian doesn't care, no matter who you find to shoot this second part, it is impossible to get a higher evaluation than the first part.

Even if the quality is higher than the first part, the advantage that comes out first is the advantage.

Unless a major change is made, the protagonist is no longer a normal great white shark, and a mutated super giant great white shark, the one the size of a blue whale, can still be filmed with some new ideas.

But if that's the case, the plot can't be limited to a beach, this kind of mutant shark, the whole country and the world will pay attention, then the whole film has nothing to do with the first one, it has to be made into a marine disaster movie.

And Qi Yukun looked at his movie and got a very general evaluation, and he felt a little lost.

Becoming famous in one fell swoop is something that every new director, actor, writer, singer and other profession has thought about.

However, the reality often backfires, and the feedback from professional film critics after the release is very mediocre.

has a base of more than 4 million viewers, and if the box office is not ideal, it will definitely have a great impact on his directorial career.

Li Qian looked at Qi Yukun with a worried look on his face, and said with relief, "Don't care about the comments of these film critics, the movie is not for them to see, their only reference value depends on whether these professionals have commented on this movie in large numbers, and enough film critics have written reviews, which shows that the attention of the movie is enough, and the real feedback has to come from the audience." ”

Moreover, in the future, it is inevitable that these people will be scolded, not scolding the director and actors, many of them will be unemployed, just forget about it after watching it, and from another point of view, it can be regarded as promoting the movie. ”

Qi Yukun is right when he thinks about it, a large number of film critics pay attention to a movie, or when the movie has just been released, at least it means that the movie has a lot of fame and exposure, otherwise they will not pay attention.

Thinking that the audience responded very well after the premiere last night, Qi Yukun was also a little relieved.

However, I didn't wait for the box office to come out on the first day, and I still felt a little unsure.

......

Compared with the evaluation of film critics, the media is much more enthusiastic, and now there are no films in the film market.

Anyway, it has just been released, and the box office has not come out yet, so it's a big deal to scold it in two days.

And the audience's feedback is very good, especially the extra scene at the end that should have ended, the actor is buried in the belly of the fish, not to mention how exciting it is.

"Has anyone watched Jaws: Revenge? Several critics I followed told me that the sequel was pretty average, and I wondered whether to see it. ”

"It's good-looking, it's as exciting as the first part, but it doesn't have that freshness, but it's definitely worth a ticket price. ”

"After watching the zero point field, there was a wave of spoilers, the new shark killed the hero, and the revenge was successful. ”

"I'll go, won't I, this director really dares to shoot?"

"Really, then I have to watch it, the first one is not pleasing to the eye. ”

"Deceiving, the new shark was killed by the male protagonist, and then another shark came at the end and killed the male protagonist. ”

", big reversal, two sharks?"

"The first show in the morning won't be released until more than nine o'clock, and there is still more than half an hour, tell me about the situation, and what about the third shark to kill the protagonist?"

"Spoilers shameless! But it's all said, all at once. ”

"Let me tell you, it's a similar routine as the first part, in the end, the male protagonist killed the female shark, but in the end, another shark came out and killed the protagonist, and then it was gone, and the movie was over. ”

"Revenge, the third shark can't be their brother. ”

"Probably not, the movie said that the first one is male, the second is female, and I guess the third is the son of the two of them. ”

"The actor is killing everyone's parents, and the shark son is going to avenge his parents. ”

"Shark son: Mom and Dad, my son has finally avenged you!"

"Weakly asked, aren't fish oviparous, there should be no father, hens can lay eggs without mating. ”

"Ahem, as a professional, let me explain, hens can lay eggs without mating, but they can't hatch chicks, sharks also have to mate to lay eggs, they can be oviparous or viviparous, and let me tell you a secret, male sharks have two dingdings. ”

"I'll rub it, two cowhides!"

“...... Strange knowledge has increased again. ”

"But there shouldn't be a third part, the male protagonists are all hanging. ”

"Maybe, sharks can take revenge, doesn't the protagonist have a son, and he can also take revenge when he grows up. ”

"Damn, isn't that endless, revenge for generations. ”

"Amitabha, when is the time for retribution. ”

"If the next protagonist's son takes revenge, it will be son to son, exciting!"

......

"Now netizens have become fine, and they can even guess what to shoot next. ”

Looking at these comments on the Internet, Li Qian had to admire them.

Guo Fan smiled, "Isn't this clear, the shark couple died, their children came to take revenge, and the protagonist died, so it must be his children who came to take revenge." ”

"Why can't it be the protagonist's wife?" Li Qian asked rhetorically.

"How is this possible, if you shoot it, you will be scolded to death. ”

It's really possible that there is a film in the original version that is the protagonist's wife and dealing with Jaws.

But if you really want to shoot like this, you will probably be sprayed to death.

"By the way, boss, since there is a suspense at the end, will the next film be filmed?" Qi Yukun asked.

"Look, the second part is actually a bit of aesthetic fatigue. ”

Li Qian thought for a while and said, "If you want to shoot, you have to be cold for a year or two, when you see it, the audience wants to watch it, if you have a loud voice, you can shoot it, or if you have any good ideas to shoot something new, otherwise even if you die, the protagonist can be used as the finale." ”

"Okay, it's not early, Lao Qi, it's time for you to promote, seeing that the audience's feedback is so good, the box office on the first day will definitely not be bad, just rest assured, Lao Guo, you should also prepare for the premiere in the evening." ”

Everyone also went their separate ways, Qi Yukun looked at the comments of these audiences, and basically rarely said that he was not satisfied, at most, it was not as amazing as the first part.

But the vast majority of viewers still gave positive feedback, especially the shark son killed the male protagonist, and many people are looking forward to the showdown between the two sons in the third part.

Qi Yukun left full of energy.

Guo Fan looked at the discussion on the Internet, and couldn't help but look forward to the release of "127 Hours", the closer he got to the release, the more excited he became.

And Su Lun only has envy, two non-major graduates, not a few years older than him, and even Qi Yukun is the same age as him, so he directs movies alone and goes to theaters, and the prospects are very good.

In addition to envy, there are also full expectations, but she heard the two of them say that she will go to the Beijing Film Academy in September to study for a year, and Li Qian will be left with her own execution.

Maybe I'll have a chance to make a movie after graduation!

......

The two movies were released, and Li Qian had nothing to do, so he occasionally went to the special effects company to have a look.

In the evening, Guangxian also held a premiere ceremony for "127 Hours".

This time, the scale is far inferior to "Jaws: Revenge", even if it has gained some fame and good reputation in a certain audience circle after the screening.

On the 31st, after the premiere, "127 Hours" was officially released, and the first-day box office of "Jaws: Revenge" also came out.

Up to 8.4 million on the first day!

And No. 1, the first-day box office of "127 Hours" also came out, with 2.1 million on the first day!

The first-day box office of "Jaws: Revenge" has exceeded the production cost of 8 million.

"127 Hours" is more than twice the production cost.

These two films, without a doubt, were all big hits!

Bloom on both sides!
