On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the sun gradually sets in the west, and the earth begins to slowly darken.

This year's Lunar New Year is a great event for theaters, and basically all theaters have put out advertisements for movies to be released on the first day of the Lunar New Year this year.

Of course, these ads are hierarchical.

Advertisements for American Hollywood blockbusters such as "Star Age", "King Kong 1. Origin", and "Killing Alien" are hung directly on the biggest sign at the door of the movie theater, which looks quite conspicuous and eye-catching, while Chinese movies such as "Blood Red Era", "Flowers Bloom in the Summer", "War Blood" and "Wanderer" are hung on the aisle of the movie theater inside, although it looks quite eye-catching and abnormal, but it is completely incomparable with the treatment of American blockbusters, it seems that one is born to his own mother and the other is born to his stepmother.

Even Tianhe Cinema Line operates like this.

This is not to blame the theaters for looking down on Chinese movies with snobbery, but that Chinese movies at this time have now fallen into a very embarrassing situation.

Especially this year's Spring Festival stalls, it gives the theaters a feeling that they can't play a single one.

Many of China's upcoming blockbusters have quietly avoided the Spring Festival stalls, and then postponed to March and April.

Why?

They're afraid!

Hollywood movies are a beast!

Of course, there have been directors who have tried to fight with Hollywood blockbusters.

And the time was just last year.

Last year, the great director Li Changrui of China pulled a large investment of 200 million yuan and the team carefully planned and made a high-cost movie "Global Disaster".

The film editing is very well cut and the visual effects of the special effects are very strong.

After watching the editing, the plot and the cast, netizens feel that this may be the pinnacle of a Chinese sci-fi blockbuster that can go abroad, and their evaluation of this movie is very high, and their expectations are also very high!

Li Changrui's team also made a great effort, and directly played the advertising slogan "The Rise of Chinese Science Fiction", just like a hero.

In this era when Chinese science fiction films are withering and being beaten by Hollywood, all movie fans are eager for a hero.

It is a national pride in nature.

The appearance of "Global Catastrophe" made them feel that the hero in them had appeared.

On the day of the premiere, fans enthusiastically ran to the theater to support, in fact, the premiere results of "Global Disaster" were very good, and the box office broke 40 million on the day of the premiere, directly breaking the record of the entire Chinese premiere box office, close to the Hollywood movie "Vampire Night" in the same period.

However, when director Li Mingrui and other directors sharpened their knives and prepared to make a big move, the box office directly decreased by 10 million the next day!

Instead of increasing, it has decreased.

Li Mingrui was a little confused.

Then look at the reviews on the web.

Seeing it this way, he was even more confused.

The Internet was full of scolding.

What kind of plot is embarrassing, the actors' lines are not careful, the special effects editing looks really good, but in fact, it is just a good editing, the real content is shoddy and uninteresting, and this shooting technique is plagiarized from the American blockbuster without any new ideas!

In short, a mess of bad reviews filled the network in an instant.

The more you hope for this movie, the more disappointed you will be when you take it to the altar and find out that the movie is a chicken.

The feeling of falling from the altar is very uncomfortable.

Although "Global Disaster" still won the box office of the month with 250 million in the end, it was not actually the movie itself but the fan appeal of the big star Xu An and the results of countless advertising investments.

As for director Lee Myung-rui?

Li Mingrui was sprayed like a dog.

I sprayed it for a full year and couldn't come back to my senses.

This is a blow to Li Mingrui, and it is also a blow to Huaxia fans!

Fans woke up from their dreams.

Yes, wake up.

Chinese movies can't be said to be bad, but the gap is really not a little big compared with Hollywood.

So even if Li Mingrui continues to regain confidence with his 100 million investment movie "War Blood" this year and wants to compete with Hollywood movies, in fact, not many netizens feel that the two have the power to fight.

Thank God if you don't get crushed, you still want to compete?

What a joke!

Don't be ashamed to go internationally.

It is precisely because of this environment that this year's Spring Festival stalls are still the first few Hollywood movies to be promoted, and other Chinese movies have to be slightly behind......

After all, it's the general trend.

Netizens are generally not optimistic about the box office of Chinese movies during this year's Spring Festival.

Although there have been great changes in the details of the rankings, none of the top three at the box office is a Chinese movie, and from the fourth place, there are only Chinese movies such as "Blood Red Age" and "The Wanderer......

It looks tragic.

Lost before the battle.

....................................

"Director Shen, smoke less, I dare not say anything else at the box office this year, but we can still guarantee the fourth. ”

"Fourth...... Hehe, I'm down to the point where I'm going to fight for fourth now...... That's right, the top three are all Hollywood blockbusters, and it's actually very powerful to compete for the fourth. ”

"This ...... Director Shen, the last time "Capital" was just an accident, in fact, ......"

"Wei Fatzi's "Wanderer" has been gaining momentum recently, right?"

"Well, yes, the momentum is indeed quite strong, but people's advertising is not as strong as ours......"

"It's all advertised on the Spring Festival Gala, and you still say that the strength is not as good as ours?"

"Well, this ......" the assistant lowered his head.

He suddenly realized that he really couldn't refute it.

However, although the "Wanderer" advertisement is really fierce, his box office is not necessarily strong, Lu Yuan is indeed strong in writing songs and scripts, but he is an actor...... Hehe...... Forget it, I hope "The Wanderer" doesn't turn into a bottom joke. ”

"Yes, and I heard that the script this time was not written by Lu Yuan, it was written by a rookie screenwriter, a rookie screenwriter, a rookie director, a rookie actor, except for Lu Yuan, who is still a bit of a traffic card in this whole movie, everything else is nonsense, so Director Shen, let's not worry about this "Wanderer" at all. ”

"Hehe, do you think I'm focusing on "The Wanderer"? I focus on "The Scarlet Age", Zhang Tong's "Scarlet Age" is not simple, it brings together old drama bones, traffic stars, and the screenwriter is also a well-known Ning Feng in China...... This movie is probably our fourth strongest competitor. ”

"Well, yes, I think so too. ”

Jet Shen is still so handsome and still so charming.

However, he had a beard on his chin, and the whole person looked vicissitudes.

He used to be an ambitious director, and even wanted to become a god with "Capital".

But......

He came across Buried Alive.

and then was hung up and beaten by "Buried Alive".

No, it can't be said that it is hanging, it is simply not qualified to fight with it......

A few days after the release, he was directly out.

This hit him very hard, and even made him doubt his life a little.

After being depressed for a month, Shen Lianjie finally gritted his teeth again and fought again!

He wants to wash away his past shame!

This time he filmed "Flowers Bloom in Half a Summer", which is a well-known adaptation of a literary film, which is quite popular both on the Internet and in reality, with countless fans, and at the same time invited the well-known little fresh meat Liu Weiting and the new Xiaohuadan Zhang Jiajia to help, and of course, a group of old drama bones to join......

These are all his reliance on the box office!

At this moment, his eyes are only on "The Scarlet Age".

After a failure, Jet Shen has quietly changed some things, his shooting techniques, his carving of movies, and his control of the plot are completely different.

He's trying to improve.

Of course, there are some things that haven't changed.

For example, half a year ago he looked down on "Buried Alive", and half a year later he still looked down on "The Wanderer".

After all......

Counterattack?

You always have a reason to counterattack, right?

Rookie screenwriter, rookie director, rookie actor......

What do you do to counterattack?

What's the use of advertising, no matter how well it is?

What a joke!

Will fans support you because of your advertising?

If that's the case, why did the "Capital" ad fail if it was so awesome?

..............................

Night falls.

Tianhe Cinema is very lively.

Everywhere there are couples who come and go holding hands and young people who come together in twos and threes.

This time of year is a great time for dating, what can couples do after eating?

Going outside?

It's so cold outside, what are you playing?

Drinking coffee?

Who drinks coffee just after eating?

Direct KFC?

Everything pays attention to a process, to be gradual, you just don't say if the girl is willing, even if you are willing, there is no mood, right?

So, their best choice is for men and women to go to the movies to set the stage for the evening mood activities, right?

After Wang Jinxue saw the couple in front of her, she subconsciously looked at Lu Yuan.

After seeing Lu Yuan's appearance, he shook his head.

Lu Yuan put his hands in his pockets, looking at this and that, looking like he didn't know where to scatter his attention.

In fact, whether it is the original world or this world, Lu Yuan has watched a pitiful number of movies.

Especially to be reborn into this world......

In half a year, Lu Yuan entered the theater once, and it was on the day of the release of "Buried Alive......

It's not that Lu Yuan doesn't like to watch movies, but what movies does Lu Yuan watch for a single dog?

After watching the movie, go home and watch the gourd baby to entertain yourself?

Lu Yuan doesn't have this fetish.

"Nervous?"

"It's fine. ”

"Our advance tickets are all sold out, and the other two shows are all sold out, so the box office on the first day can't be much worse. ”

"Well, by the way, have you watched Killing Alien?"

"Killing Aliens?"

"Hmm. ”

"What's wrong?"

Wang Jinxue looked at Lu Yuan standing in front of the poster of "Killing Aliens" and felt a little strange.

"The commercial for this film seems to be quite attractive. ”

"Yes, after all, it's a Hollywood blockbuster, and the special effects are definitely different. ”

"Oh, you have a ticket, right?"

"I have tickets, and I have two VIP seats for each movie. ”

"Give me one. ”

"You're going to see this?"

"Well, anyway, the premiere of "The Wanderer" is still early at half past eight......"

"Do you want to study your opponent in advance?"

"Nope. ”

"Lu Yuan, although I am very confident in "The Wanderer" and think that this movie can be a big hit, but the gap with "Killing Alien" can be said to be one heaven and one underground, I think we should focus on Chinese movies for the time being. Wang Jinxue was silent for a long time, and then said something psychological.

"Well, that's not what I meant, I just wanted to see it. ”

"yes, you're going to be hit. ”

"What to fight, I really just want to be a spectator...... There is no comparison, in fact, I have always had a strong interest in science fiction movies. ”

"Oh, let's go and see. ”

"Good. ”

Lu Yuan turned his head and looked at Wang Jinxue's expression, and after that, he knew that Wang Jinxue didn't believe his words.

Of course, he didn't explain anything, after all, some things are useless no matter how you explain them.

Wang Jinxue took out two tickets from her bag and handed them to Lu Yuan, and Lu Yuan put them away after seeing the tickets and walked towards the movie room of "Killing Aliens".

"Sorry, due to the large number of people in the theater, in order to avoid unnecessary situations, please take off your sunglasses and hat, please actively cooperate, thank you. ”

"Oh, what a ......"

"Wait, are you Lu Yuan?"

"Wow, it's really Lu Yuan!"

"Wow, he's Lu Yuan!"

“？？？？”

"This, Lu Yuan came to see a movie?"

"No, the second dog's movie is "The Wanderer", not Hall 5, right? I remember it was in Hall 3."

"Then why did he run to Hall 5?"

"Wait, when my movie was about to be released, I went to Hall 5 to watch "Killing Alien", this operation ...... I really don't get it. ”

"Me ...... too"

"Don't support your own movies, support other people's movies?

"What is he going to do, give up on himself so quickly?"

"Wait, is this thing studying its opponent?"

"That's not right, if you study your opponent, you should also watch "Blood Red Age" and "War Blood", what kind of "Killing Alien" to watch?

"Is he inflated?"

“？？”

........................

“？？”

“？”

"At this juncture, he is going to support other films?"

"Does he think his 'Wanderer' is capable of translating 'Killing Alien'?"

"What are you kidding, so inflated?"

“？？？”

When someone uploaded a photo of Lu Yuan watching "Killing Alien" to the Internet and accompanied the video of Lu Yuan sitting in his position holding popcorn and eating it with relish and waiting for the movie to begin, netizens were also stunned by Lu Yuan's commotion.

They don't think Lu Yuan is coming to see a movie.

After all, his movie will premiere soon, and he will definitely support his movie.

And then......

Netizens also thought of that possibility.

Then netizens were happy......

Is the study opponent so inflated?
