There are many criteria for evaluating a movie.

In Wu Yue's view, being able to create a character image that all audiences love from the bottom of their hearts in just over an hour in the movie is a kind of success.

Meanwhile.

There is also movement in the media, because of the impact of the leaked marketing of the previous film source of "A Chinese Ghost Story", coupled with the identity of Luo Yuan, one of the seven directors of the young generation in China, there are still many people who pay attention to this movie.

"The newcomer accurately interprets "A Chinese Ghost Story"!"

Rookie actor Gu Yue Suli's acting skills were praised, netizens: Thank you Director Luo for tirelessly excavating outstanding talents for the entertainment industry. ”

"A different ghost movie!"

"Luo Yuan's new movie has received rave reviews, and the ending of the story has made all the audience teary-eyed!"

“......”

Among them, there is naturally no lack of blue sea and blue sky, and it has long been a tacit practice in the industry for film distribution companies to hook up with professional media for film promotion, and in addition to media reports, Luo Yuan also received a satisfaction survey report on the night of the premiere: "Ninety percent A+!"

This is the real data.

In the company office, Gu Lang was full of smiles, although this satisfaction survey can only show that there is no problem with the quality of the movie itself, but it can be regarded as a good start for Crimson: "Only a few viewers gave low scores, and basically because of dissatisfaction with the ending part of the movie." ”

"The end?"

Luo Yuan smiled, in fact, he had expected such a situation in advance, because he liked Nie Xiaoqian too much, so there will definitely be some viewers who are dissatisfied with the ending of the movie......

It's helpless.

This ending is the most natural for the movie, and it is also in line with the inherent conceptual value of people and ghosts, Luo Yuan is unlikely to deliberately change this ending in order to please some audiences, as for some comments on the Internet, he also saw it, including those netizens who threatened to send him blades, he thought that he could find a time to disclose the address on Weibo, and then make a fortune by opening a knife shop.

"That's right. ”

Luo Yuan suddenly said: "Guan Yunteng's "Biochemical Technology" premiered on the same day as us, how was the response?"

"It can be said to be very good!"

Gu Lang's expression became serious: "Film critics in some circles have a high evaluation of this movie, and judging from public opinion on the Internet, the audience still buys it." ”

"I see. ”

Luo Yuan didn't intend to underestimate the enemy, but after Gu Lang left, he searched for news related to "Biochemical Technology" on the Internet, and many links popped up.

"Guan Yunteng's ambition!"

"In the sci-fi horror film "Biochemical Technology", Guan Yunteng added the thinking of literary and artistic workers to his work for the first time......"

"The blockbuster is coming, "Biochemical Technology"!"

"Zombies, disasters, plasma, headshots, killings, new horror elements, all in Guan Yunteng's "Biochemical Technology"!"

“......”

Judging from the scale of media publicity, the investment in "Biochemical Technology" is not less than that of "A Chinese Ghost Story", but I really can't see the specific situation in the online dynamics alone, Luo Yuan simply bought a movie ticket for "Biochemical Technology" at night.

After the sun sets, seven o'clock.

In the VIP theater near Crimson Entertainment, Luo Yuan sat in his place and watched the movie quietly.

"I'm the only one......"

"This city is no longer as prosperous as it used to be, and even the rain in the sky carries a fishy smell......

"I don't know what I'm holding onto. ”

"I killed someone, and even though I knew that this man was infected and became a walking dead dominated by the wild, I felt a deep sense of guilt. ”

“......”

The actor's intermittent monologue came from the speaker, always with some traces of thinking, and before that, Luo Yuan had always thought that this movie would be the same as "Resident Evil", which has both the zombie-covered tension and the terrifying atmosphere that has nothing to hide, as well as the commercial elements of the protagonist upgrading all the way to fight monsters, but when he arrived at the cinema, he found out-

This turned out to be a literary film!

To be precise, this is a literary film dressed in science fiction, especially in the first half of the movie, it is obvious that Guan Yunteng is trying to show a sense of sadness that "I am the only one left in the whole city".

A typical literary film technique.

Audiences who like this kind of movie may buy it, but those who come for the popcorn movie may find it a little boring, because it was not until the second half of the movie that Guan Yunteng began to focus on the main story line, slaughtering zombies, blood all over the place, sniper headshots, and it was also at this stage that the excitement of the movie began to improve linearly.

Guan Yunteng's level is very high after all.

He is good at such movies, and he is very good at scheduling horror movie scenes, cool and exciting are not a problem at all, and even Luo Yuan feels quite amazing at some angles.

And just when Luo Yuan was watching the movie......

Some professionals in the film industry are also discussing the film market in October, and the focus of the discussion is naturally Luo Yuan's "A Chinese Ghost Story" and Guan Yunteng's "Biochemical Technology".

"Who do you think will be the bigger box office?"

"It's hard to say on the first day, after all, the popularity of the two movies before their release is between the best, unless there is a quality gap between the two......"

"It's a head-to-head matchup, right?"

"That's right, this is a rare head-to-head showdown between the seven young directors of China, and I feel that this showdown may even affect next year's ranking of young directors......"

"Has anyone seen two movies?"

"I watched "A Chinese Ghost Story", a romance film under the banner of ghost films, and I personally feel very good, has anyone watched this movie like me?"

"I watched it too, I like it!"

"I feel like Biotech is to my taste. ”

"That's right, the zombie image in "Biochemical Technology" is really exciting, and in the second half of the movie, when I watched it, I had an indescribable sense of tension!"

“......”

Back to the cinema.

Luo Yuan has already finished reading "Biochemical Technology".

He probably knows it in his heart, no wonder film critics have a good evaluation of Guan Yunteng's movie, maybe it is the discussion of innovative elements with human survival, or maybe it is the deep excavation of the actor's heart in the early stage......

It's a pity.

Although the depth in the front is there, the rhythm is too lengthy, which will make many viewers lose patience in advance, even if the remedy is very good, but some established impressions must not be changed, and for Luo Yuan, "Biochemical Technology" is like a movie off topic, no matter how creative and brilliant it is, it can't hide the essence of its failure to grasp the focus of the movie.

So this round, "A Chinese Ghost Story" wins!

On the second day when Luo Yuan made a judgment in his heart, the box office of the movie on the first day had been counted, and there was no deviation from what he expected-

Movie: "A Chinese Ghost Story"!

Box office on the first day: 7.22 million!
