Chapter 196: Oh No, No Good! (First Update)
There was silence in the movie theater.
No one spoke out to discuss the plot, and no one played with their heads down and their phones halfway.
They all stared at the movie screen and watched this "Wanderer".
This "Wanderer" seems to have a strange magic that tugs at everyone's heart.
It's obviously very depressing, so depressed that people can't help but have a sour nose, obviously there is a feeling that I can't stand it, but I don't know why the audience continues to stare at the screen.
Seem......
It's like a virus.
The advertisement for "The Wanderer" was very scary in the Spring Festival Gala, but there was not much mention of it in the plot, and even on Tomato.com, there was only one name, a photo and a few plausible plot introductions.
Other?
Well, nothing else.
At the same time, the packaging of the movie on the Internet before its release was really poor, even worse than most domestic bad movies, and the ranking on Tomato Network was also very bad, and they all fell out of the top 30.
At first, fans thought that this was definitely another domestic high-publicity, low-cost bad movie.
After all, your packaging is a bit unreasonable.
However, after watching the movie in the cinema, the audience found that it was indeed a well-made movie with a conscience in many places......
The plot is still going on slowly.
The twenty-minute plot is suppressed to the limit, and Lu Yuan's acting skills also make a hopeless addict so sad that people clench their fists.
How can a man fall to such a degree......
No self-esteem, no self-confidence, living like a dog.
Just when all the audience was about to lose that sense of depression, on a rainy day, a timid stray dog appeared in front of the protagonist Wang Jiaming.
It seemed to be a glimmer of light in the midst of extreme darkness.
After looking at the stray dog, Wang Jiaming subconsciously waved at it.
The plot, which has been depressed, seems to have gradually begun to relax, teasing the audience's mood.
They saw Wang Jiaming smile again, but this smile was not a sarcastic smile, but a really, heartfelt smile.
The dog was as pathetic as he was, as homeless as he was, as pathetic as he was......
Unfortunately, he knew that he couldn't keep the dog.
There was nothing he could do.
So, he had no choice but to turn away.
However, just as Lu Yuan was leaving, the big yellow dog followed him.
Wherever he goes, it goes.
"I can't even feed myself...... Not to mention feeding you......... Don't follow me, follow me and you'll die......"
When the audience saw this scene, they even felt their hearts twisted, they were afraid that Wang Jiaming would abandon the dog and continue to sink into the endless dark world, and then suddenly leave this world one morning like those homeless people under the overpass.
Although the next plot is still very depressing, there is a sense of warmth in this depression.
There are many interactions between one person and one dog, and the audience finds this inconspicuous big yellow dog very healing.
Their hearts were melted by the big yellow dog.
At the same time, they saw the change in Wang Jiaming.
The plot also slowly came out of the darkness.
In order to feed the dog, Wang Jiaming picked up the guitar that he hadn't picked up for a long time, and then walked out to the street to sing.
The number of people listening to him sing gradually increased.
Everything was homely.
Even Wang Jiaming felt the joy of being respected for the first time, and for the first time he remembered drug rehabilitation.
However, the warmth didn't last long, and the movie began to take a turn again......
Wang Jiaming was entangled by those drug friends and was seriously injured......
This scene is very sensitive, and the audience suddenly remembered the previous video on the Internet.
That video is this plot, when they saw Wang Jiaming being beaten to the ground with his head broken and bleeding and convulsions continuously, several little girls with weak endurance cried on the spot, crying very sadly......
The other men looked at the drug addicts with hatred, hating them like never before.
"If I'm there, I'll kill them!"
"Yes, so do I!"
“......”
There was a whisper of chatter in the cinema......
Wang Jiaming sank in depravity and pain, and the money he had earned was snatched up by these drug criminals.
The music slowly began to turn into sadness.
With the sound of music, everyone's tears were deceived by Lu Yuan's performance again, and this was the third time.
"Is this a tragic satirical film?"
"This ......"
"If that's the case, I'll never look at it again. ”
"Me ...... too"
Just when all the audience began to be in a bad mood and were speechless, the plot advanced one step further......
Everything started to turn again.
Lu Yuan on the screen is like a messenger walking in darkness and light, wantonly exerting his acting skills.
It always makes people desperate, but it also makes people hopeful.
Everyone was conquered by Lu Yuan's acting skills.
This is not academic, nor is it theoretical.
But......
They are immersed in this acting, and that's enough.
....................................
The lights in the screening room are on.
"The Wanderer" finally ended with smiles and tears.
The applause rang out like thunder.
When "The Wanderer" was finished, Lu Yuan just fell asleep in a daze, and subconsciously trembled after hearing the applause, and then began to applaud indiscriminately.
The whole person looked coping, and the smile on his face was also very fake.
Wang Jinxue was speechless for a moment after seeing Lu Yuan's expression, she didn't know how to describe her mood at the moment.
This man......
It seems hopeless.
"Lu Yuan, I saw that you were asleep just now, may I ask if you have no confidence in your movie or why?"
"That's right, Lu Yuan, this is obviously a good movie!"
"May I ask if the actors were really beating when you were making this movie?"
"Are you in pain? I think you're hurt, it must be in pain. ”
"It's so dedicated, I thought you didn't hurt plasma in the video on the Internet before, but now it seems to be true!"
"Is that big yellow dog still there?"
“......”
The movie ends.
All the audience excitedly surrounded Lu Yuan, and a few viewers wanted to take a photo with Lu Yuan and ask Lu Yuan for an autograph, but they were tragically stopped by the security guard in time, Lu Yuan patiently answered a few questions, and left the cinema with Wang Jinxue under the escort of the security guard with due diligence.
After getting into the car, Wang Jinxue suddenly looked at Lu Yuan.
"Now that you look at the audience's reactions, how much do you think we're going to have at the box office on the first day. ”
"Eight million, what about you?"
"Can you be a little more serious, now is not the time to pretend to be suppressed and then raised. ”
"Khan, well, maybe ten million?"
"More than 10 million, I think this movie may be about to explode, and the miracle of "Buried Alive" may be staged again. ”
"Really?"
"Do you want to make a bet?" Wang Jinxue looked at Lu Yuan with a smile.
"Don't gamble...... I don't have the money to lose. Lu Yuan refused without saying a word.
“......”
Wang Jinxue suddenly felt that Lu Yuan might be lonely for a lifetime.
Someone else is a straight man of steel......
He's a straight man.
........................
At eight o'clock, the two movies "Blood Age" and "War Blood" had been played.
The word-of-mouth and ranking of Tomato online began to change to a certain extent.
"How is the reputation of "Scarlet Age"?" Jet Shen looked up and watched his assistant Xiao Zhang walk in with the latest report, with a bit of expectation on his face.
"Word of mouth, well, 8.7 points, which is a good high score. ”
"What about Li Changrui's "War Blood"?"
"8.5 points, second only to "Scarlet Age". ”
"Oh, what about our reputation?"
"Our score of 8.7 is currently the same as "The Scarlet Age". ”
"What about popularity?"
"Our three Chinese movies are ranked third in popularity, but the gap with the top two is not far away, and it can be speculated that the final box office results of our "Blossoming Half Summer" cannot be too bad. ”
"Oh, that's good. ”
"What about the Wanderer......"
""The Wanderer" hasn't been released yet, but according to our three movies are so strong, this "Wanderer" may be ranked first, after all, there will be a movie at the bottom every year, obviously, this movie at the bottom can't be us, after all, how can there be 8.7 at the bottom?"
"Hmm. ”
Shen Lianjie nodded, a smile on his face.
He breathed a sigh of relief.
He felt like he had come out of the shadows.
The failure of "Capital" is indeed a failure, but fortunately, this "Blossoming Half Summer" is not bad in terms of word-of-mouth or popularity.
This undoubtedly made Jet Shen feel that he was returning a mouthful of blood.
As for The Wanderer.
Well, he just casually asked......
He really didn't see "The Wanderer" as an opponent!
After all, in this situation, it is difficult for "Wanderer" to stand out.
You may rate highly, but your popularity ......
How can you compare to us?
Half past ten......
Half an hour after the release of "The Wanderer", the assistant suddenly rushed in with the data in disbelief.
"Oh no, no, no!"
"What's wrong, say it slowly!"
""Wanderer, this "Wanderer" exploded!"
"What's exploding?"
When Jet Shen took the data report and looked at the data of "Wanderer", his eyes widened instantly......
"Hold the grass, what an international joke!"
....................................
Before the movie was released, the movie ranking of "The Wanderer" was not high on Tomato.com, and it can even be said to be very low.
But after the movie was released, the score of this movie instantly rushed to 9.5 points, and even surpassed last year's high-scoring movie "Buried Alive", as for the ranking, it instantly hit the top ten of new films from more than 30, and then sharpened from the top ten to the eighth place.
In front of him are only "The Age of Blood" and "War Blood", "Flowers in Half a Summer" and three Hollywood blockbusters.
After another half an hour, the ranking of "Wanderer" began to go crazy again, flying from eighth place to fifth place all of a sudden, and even threw Jet Shen's "Flowers in Half Summer" far away......
There were tens of thousands of comments below in an instant, except for a few other Internet trolls, all of them were praised at a glance, and even the praise rate has reached more than 95%.
At the same time, the popularity of this movie on Tomato has also rushed to the first place on the popularity list and the third place on the potential list in just a few hours......
This operation undoubtedly shocked the glasses of many people in the industry.
They thought that the reputation of "The Wanderer" should not be too bad, but they didn't expect that the reputation of the trafficker would be so good, and the reputation is on the one hand, and on the other hand, the popularity of this movie!
You must know that this movie is not a comedy, let alone an action movie, it is an authentic literary film!
What is the concept of literary films?
Except for a few movies, everyone else generally lives at the bottom of popularity, relying on the secondary consumption of die-hard fans to mix the box office.
Although they didn't starve to death at the box office, they never had any big hits.
But "The Wanderer" breaks this almost ironclad rule.
Wrong!
Not only "The Wanderer", but also last year's "Buried Alive" also broke this rule, unreasonably possessing a large number of die-hard popularity and incredible box office revenue......
Is "The Wanderer" going to replicate this miracle?
