Chapter Ninety-Eight: Some People Just Don't Get It.

"Film Weekly" - "The second film "Journey to the West" directed by new director Bai Yi and Bai Gongzi has exceeded 500 million since its release during the Spring Festival. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Southern Metropolis" - "In Pearl International Cinema, if you want to see "Journey to the West", you need to queue up in advance to make an appointment, and at the Palme d'Or Century Cinema, dozens of fans shout 'give us extra seats', and also watch "Journey to the West". "Journey to the West", which has been released nationwide since February 18, is menacing, and even in the mountain city, which has always been considered to be a poor box office, there has been a grand situation in cinemas that are hard to find. ”

"Entertainment News" - ""Journey to the West" is coming, which not only "scared" away a lot of Spring Festival movies that will be released during this time, but also has a great impact on "Spy War" and "Siege" that were released at the same time. Wei Zhen, a staff member of the Palme d'Or Cinema and who is in charge of publicity, said that the ticket sales area of the theater hall and the member ticket area are also lined up from morning to night, all for "Journey to the West". ”

……

"Entertainment Gossip" - "Major theater managers use "surprise" to describe the popularity of "Journey to the West", and this movie has created a lot of new movie-watching phenomena. It seems that a few days after the release, the tickets for "Journey to the West" suddenly became very tight, and there were additional seats to watch every day, and the most interesting thing about this is that many viewers came to watch this film again. “

"Light Film and Television Industry" - "The movie "Journey to the West", adapted from the classic "Journey to the West", has attracted a lot of attention since its release, and the reputation is mixed, and many film critics have given a very low evaluation of this movie, completely ignoring the current popularity of "Journey to the West", and they all think that this is a deformed film market. ”

……

I don't know when it started, the box office of "Journey to the West" rose like a rocket, and the terrifying speed made a group of filmmakers open their mouths wide and be dumbfounded.

"Journey to the West" is already dominant in the Spring Festival film market, but unconsciously, the oppression of "Journey to the West" for other Spring Festival movies can be said to be more and more terrifying, and the movie theaters don't know when they began to line up, just for a movie ticket.

You must know that after the running time of "Journey to the West" is three hours later, they would rather wait in line for a long time for a movie.

This situation makes the main creators of several other movies no longer know what to say, and they can't figure out why "Journey to the West" suddenly became so charming, and they can't figure out why it suddenly set off a craze for "Journey to the West".

Looking at the fans and audiences waiting in line, they are all very fanatical, it seems that no matter how long the wait is, it is worth it, and when they are waiting in line, those audiences are still frantically discussing the plot of "Journey to the West" with the people around them......

Even the managers of major theater chains can't figure out why so many other filmmakers like the movie "Journey to the West". However, although they don't understand, looking at the current hot situation of "Journey to the West", they will naturally arrange more screenings.

The result of this naturally squeezed the box office of other films, and the already dismal box office became very bleak.

This naturally stimulated other movies, such a big cake in the Spring Festival file, how could it be possible to watch a movie "Journey to the West" monopolize the entire market in it.

Wang Yilun, the director of "The Siege of the City", publicly fired on this matter on Weibo, "It is very unfair that the theater does not arrange screenings, this is simply killing chickens and eggs." ”

Even Feng Yiyi, the director of the literary film "Past Time", also gave his opinion on the fact that the box office of "Journey to the West" was very hot, and seemed to disdain the movie "Journey to the West", and left a message on Weibo coldly: "I have long guessed that this will be the result, but I still feel cold to the profit-seeking businessmen in the film market, and the number of screenings of a bad movie that I don't know is more than the number of movie screenings in the same period combined, which is really ridiculous, this is the sadness of Chinese films." “

Li Shuai, the director of another serious movie, "Spy War", also bombarded the theater manager, thinking that the theater is hegemonic and the film schedule is based on the amazing theater manager, and he did not hide his contempt for "Journey to the West" in an interview, bluntly saying that it is a bad movie, and now is the worst era for serious movies.

……

Not only are these three directors openly bombarding the theater chain on Weibo and disdainful of "Journey to the West", many well-known filmmakers are fighting for movies such as "Past Time" and "Siege", thinking that some audiences now have no real taste for movies at all, and they can't tell what a real good movie is.

Countless people are chasing a bad movie, which makes many proud directors can't stand it at all, and completely stimulates their sensitive and fragile literary hearts.

They can't figure out why "Journey to the West" has become so popular, why there are people who are so tyrants, watch it once, and go to the cinema to watch it again, simply contributing to the box office of "Journey to the West", which really hurts them.

……

Some filmmakers don't understand, and some netizens actually can't figure it out, but it is in this kind of incomprehension that a wave of "have you understood "Have you understood "Journey to the West" has long been set off on the Internet.

Critics were dismissive, but some young netizens became interested in this unusual movie, and after a series of analyses and careful appreciation of this comedy, their sensitive literary hearts were also madly stimulated and deeply hit their hearts.

The result of the stimulation is naturally a fanatical pursuit.

Otherwise, more and more audiences would not have gone to the cinema to see this once belittled worthless and later touted as a classic romance.

The lines in the movie have become popular on the Internet and have become a mantra for many young people, and there are hundreds of websites on the Internet that discuss Journey to the West, and many netizens' ID names are related to "Big Talk". "Big talk" seems to have become a pass, and as soon as these two words appear, it will make "big talk" fans smile and become like-minded.

Some people will inadvertently blurt out: "If you want it, you can say it, if you don't say how I know you want it, although you look at me very sincerely, but you still have to tell me what you want." Do you really want it? Then you take it, don't you really want it, do you really want it?......

"It's thundering, it's raining, it's time to put away your clothes. ”

Others will say the phrase, "My crush is a hero of the world, and I know that one day he will appear in a high-profile situation, wearing golden armor and stepping on seven-colored clouds to marry me." ”

"I guessed the beginning, but I couldn't guess the ending. ”

……

At the same time, fans are also seriously discussing why Bai Yi made this movie, and what the last line "He is like a dog" means.

Unconsciously, netizens realized that they like big words because they like the kind of regret and sorrow that they clearly love each other but can't stick to it for life, when a boy becomes a man, the helplessness in this story makes netizens empathize with it and fall into it.

At this popular time, naturally there will be people who cheer on this fire, revealing a lot of the inside story behind the movie, director Bai Yi once said that if you can understand the big words "He is like a dog," then you really understand the movie "Journey to the West", and this movie was almost impossible to make, because many people are not optimistic about this movie.

Such a back story, coupled with the helplessness and sadness in the story of "Journey to the West", has made many people obsessed.

……

Just like the well-known writer Lin Lai, in a magazine column, he specially wrote an article about "Journey to the West", which aroused the enthusiasm of many fans.

"Bai Gongzi once talked to me, there are three layers of watching "Journey to the West", if you finish reading the big talk and sit there silently, you feel nowhere to go, you feel a kind of sadness and helplessness that goes deep into the bone marrow, you understand the third layer. ”

"I think I'm on the third floor now, and after reading it, I was speechless, feeling dazed and helpless, it was a lot of sadness that I couldn't describe in words, and I just felt that my whole heart was gone. I don't know when it began, "Journey to the West", like the Internet, has become an incurable disability for a while, firmly following life and following it like a shadow. Every time I touched it, it was like tearing a scar open that was about to crust over. ”

"At the beginning of the story, the Supreme Treasure, like everyone else, does not know what his destiny is, and tries to pursue those who are destined not to belong to him, but to no avail, and when he slowly sees his destiny, he becomes a desolate man. Zixia Fairy is the kind of woman who makes every boy fall in love, she doesn't have high requirements for her crush, she wears a golden armor holy robe, and calls her the seven-colored clouds to marry her, that's all, but just ask, can you do it? “

I always remember that at the end of the movie, Sun Wukong held the golden hoop stick on his shoulders with both hands and pretended to walk in a chic manner, but he couldn't help but look back from time to time to look at the figure of the lovers who were in love on the city wall. “

"I can't help but look back and think, did I miss my love too?"

……

I have to say that Lin Lai's emotional article once again touched the heartstrings of countless people, making the already popular "Journey to the West" more and more popular.

Whether it's simply looking at a comedy and just wanting to laugh in the theater, or because you listen to Lin Lai's words, you want to really understand this movie, and you don't understand it the first time, then watch it again and know how to understand the sadness and regret in this story.

But some people just don't get it.

Such as Wang Yilun, such as Li Shuai, and literary film director Feng Yiyi, they will not understand why the bad movie "Journey to the West" is so popular and fascinating.

But it doesn't matter, because someone already understands it, understands. (To be continued.) )
