Chapter 459: Again Setbacked

Mr. Guo often said that it is not that I am excellent, it is all up to my peers!

This is also very applicable to Lu Lin, not the giant bull fork he made in the movie, but the too powerful foil of his peers.

On July 29, "The Legend of the Gods" was officially released, and it received 66.81 million on the same day, which was not very outstanding in the first two years. What's worse is the collapse of word-of-mouth, with a Douban score of 3.2 and a downward trend.

For a while, countless netizens rated on the comic and repented for their bad reviews of "The Killing of the Gods of the Male Soldier Company".

"I used to think that Director Lu's new film was bad, but after watching "Legend of the Gods", I realized that I was wrong, young and ignorant, and very wrong. If "The Killing of the Gods of the Male Soldier Company" is scored, how can "Fengshen" be minus 100 million!"

"I went with the heart of being struck by lightning, and I was really struck by lightning!"

""Legend of the Gods", as soon as this film comes out, "Fuchun Mountain Residence" has to avoid three points!"

"Beauty is really like flowers, it needs green leaves to show her charm, in fact, movies are the same. I used to think that "The Killing of the Gods of the Male Soldier Company" was not good, but as soon as "Fengshen" came out, the male soldiers immediately became a classic among the classics!"

"What's even more terrifying is that they still want to make a sequel, who gave the courage?"

In fact, if you forget the original setting, the movie "Legend of the Gods" is not useless, and the special effects are not particularly good, but it is okay to be so-so.

Although the plot is thunderous, it is mainly because the setting of the original work is deeply ingrained in the hearts of the audience, and a strong sense of disobedience is formed. Although the fights in the play are not outstanding, Nezha's part is also called funny.

The biggest mistake of "Legend of the Gods" is that it appeared too late, and the tastes of domestic audiences have long been nourished by Lu Lin's special effects blockbusters, but they still use the bridges and techniques of Hong Kong films in the seventies and eighties, which is strange if they don't cheat.

is like "The Tenth Screening Room" commented on Zhang Baizhi's comeback and filming "The Military Order of the Female General of the Yang Gate":

The movie is full of dialogues like "protect Taijun and let Taijun go first" from beginning to end, if the audience doesn't look at the picture and only listens to the dialogue, it is easy to mistake this for a TV series with the main theme of anti-Japanese theme.

In fact, it's just a movie that comes completely from the wrong era. It completely crushed all the audiences in the theater with an astonishing unenterprising sense of interest and technical level in the eighties of the last century.

Wake them up again, the journey of 2011 is far from over. We can't even humiliate such a wonderful film, because it's so speechless......"

Change some keywords in the above words, and there will be no disobedience to "Legend of the Gods".

Although the movie is a 500 million cost special effects blockbuster, the aesthetic interest it shows and the production idea is still stuck in the 80s of the last century. Then I met the "Soldier Company Series" that took the route of superhero blockbusters, and it was not unjust to die at all!

"Fengshen" was not very optimistic about the industry before its release, but when the results came out, it was quite shocking.

According to the current box office trend, it is about 200 million. If the "500 million cost" is not mixed with water, the one who loses all his money is called the kind that loses all his money!

The ambitious Xiang Hua and his wife were dumbfounded, they had seen Zhou Xingxing mixing in the mainland before, who knew that they would be in such a tragic situation!

Yu Dong also felt a little confused, although he felt that "Legend of the Gods" might be pitted, but he didn't expect it to be pitted to this extent, this is not even as good as "Little Times"!

If you want to say that the one who has benefited the most, it may be Lu Lin! After the release of "Legend of the Gods", there were fewer critical posts and more praise.

Even the Douban score of "The Killing of the Gods of the Male Soldier Company" has risen from 6.7 to 7.0, and the box office has actually increased slightly!

Innocents are like Jing Xiang, because Xiang Yu is known as "Jing Xiang's second", and the deeds of the young lady back then were "dug up like a grave" and turned out to be hotly discussed. Fortunately, there are a lot of fans now, and the favorability is also high, but there are not many insults.

Longlin Pictures is preparing for a $1 billion global box office celebration of "The Killing of the Gods".

Although there are only 2.7 billion in the mainland, the global box office has approached 1.1 billion US dollars because of the box office sales in Christian civilization countries such as Europe and North America.

On August 1, the day of the Army Day, in a banquet hall of the Sofitel Wanda Hotel in Beijing, the main creators of "The Killing of the Gods" and various media gathered.

A reporter from "Nandu Weekly" asked: "Director Lu, at the premiere ceremony of "Legend of the Gods", you smiled meaningfully at the camera, did you disdain it in your heart?

Lu Lin said with a smile: "I think as an artist, it is an instinctive reaction to keep smiling when facing the camera, rather than necessarily thinking something in your heart!"

"But as far as I know, Longlin Pictures currently has a stake in Bona, and Mr. Yu Dong has a very good relationship with Director Lu, haven't you really watched the content of "Legend of the Gods" before?"

Lu Lin said: "Let me reiterate once again, today is the celebration of "The Killing of the Gods of the Male Soldier Company", and what you asked has nothing to do with the theme of the meeting. But here I can clarify that I haven't seen the movie "Legend of the Gods" until now. Well, if you ask this kind of question later, there will be no comment!"

After dealing with the media reporters, the people from Longlin Pictures and Penguin Pictures sat down to eat together. The other two military-affiliated television art centers did not attend the celebration in a low-key manner.

"It's only been more than 20 days now that the $1.1 billion has arrived, and when the world paints, there is hope that it will reach $1.4 billion, surpassing the previous work!" Chen Wu, the head of Penguin Pictures, sighed.

Lu Lin smiled, "It's all about everyone working together!"

Everyone: "Director Lu is still powerful, the movie is well changed, and the shooting is good!"

Chen Wu said again: "Director Lu, you watch the first part, the second part is good at the box office, is this third part also a little tighter and put it on the agenda?"

Penguin Pictures is a rising star, and its strength naturally cannot be compared with old film companies such as Huayi and Bona, and there are not many projects that can be taken.

It can be said that throughout 2016, the income brought by "The Company of Soldiers" accounted for almost seven to eighty percent, and in this case, the development of the sequel was naturally more concerned than Longlin Pictures.

Song Ge replied on his behalf and said with a smile: "When the second part was filmed, the script of the third part had already come out, but it was still being polished and revised!"

Chen Wu said: "Prepare for this kind of thing in the early stage, sooner rather than later, Penguin Pictures, as one of the producers, can also do its part." I just don't know when Director Lu will be able to make this film?"

Lu Lin said: "I'm busy with "Lich War" now, I'm afraid I won't have time within the year, so I have to wait until 17 years!"

Chen Wu nodded slightly, paused for a few seconds, and said, "Why don't you give some newcomers a chance like "I Am Not the God of Medicine" and "The Wandering Earth"?"
