The stunning first-week box office results of "Thai Embarrassment" not only stimulated the media, audiences and film and television companies in the industry, but also stimulated Xu Zheng. Not only did the roadshow publicity after the original release not relax, but Xu Zheng also added three more shows by himself.

Of course, the results of such crazy roadshow propaganda are also obvious. After the first weekend, "Thai Embarrassment" withstood the impact of the working day, collecting another 90 million in two days, and the box office officially exceeded 400 million.

However, no matter how good a movie is, there will always be some discordant sounds. Since the 17th, a large number of bad reviews have appeared on the Internet, such as Douban and Time, which are platforms with scoring reviews, and there have been a sudden increase in a lot of one-star and two-star scores.

Before the release of "Thai Embarrassment", the rating of the screening venue was as high as 8.4 points, after all, most of the people who will grab the screening tickets are fans or more enthusiastic audiences, and they will naturally be much more tolerant of the movie when they score.

With the official release, the number of ratings increased, and the score began to decline slowly. By the seventeenth, the score of "Thai Embarrassment" on Douban had slipped to 8.0.

But this decline should be a slow process for a movie that has been in theaters for a week. After all, the number and time of the audience's ratings are not fixed, and there will not be a situation where a large number of viewers have all the bad reviews in a short period of time.

Therefore, when the staff responsible for observation below reported that the score had dropped to 7.7 in less than five hours, and there were two or three hundred more one-star reviews, Chen Rong and Chen Zhixi immediately understood that someone must have hired a water army to smear them.

"Such an idiotic film is rated so highly. ”

"First, the rhythm of the story drags on; second, the jokes are too old, and they rely on spoofs to please the audience; third, the story has no feelings and is purely farce; fourth, a large number of bridges are seriously plagiarized and there is no original comedy; fifth, the biggest problem is that it is insincere and purely deceives the audience of movie tickets. ”

“……”

"Who is so boring?" Mu Ming looked at the rows of one-star comments that left messages at almost the same time, and frowned: "Have you eaten their rice?"

"Who else?" Chen Zhixi pouted: "Hua Yibei." Their "Zodiac" is about to be released, and they must find a way to reduce our popularity. No, there is also an article accusing "Thai Embarrassment" of crowding out the film schedule. ”

Mu Ming looked at the screen, and sure enough, she saw an article titled "The Harm of Film and Television Companies' Monopoly on the Development of the Film Market".

"This water army is not in place. Mu Ming complained: "I don't have any desire to click on this title to see it." At the very least, it has to be a: shock! The secret of "Thai Embarrassment" winning the high box office turned out to be......

"Isn't it full of food. Mu Ming said with a disdainful expression: "If you can't do it yourself, you will find a water army to smear it, it's too lo." ”

"Hmm-" Chen Zhixi shook his head: "This is just a normal operation in the industry." As long as it's not a direct personal attack, or a form of attack that is out of the movies, it's all within the rules. ”

Mu Ming smacked her lips, looking at the publicity release on the computer screen of ""Zodiac" is scheduled for December 20, and the comedy of the eldest brother Chenggong is desperately returning", and couldn't help but say: "Huayi himself has done no less, and he is embarrassed to say it." No, I'll tweet. ”

"Eh, you can pay attention, that's Huayi and Big Brother Cheng, we can't provoke anyone now. Chen Zhixi hurriedly stopped Mu Ming, for fear that he would suffer a loss in the end.

"Well, I'm a reader, how can I be so rude. Mu Ming waved his hand to comfort Chen Zhixi. Then he took out his mobile phone and posted a sentence on Weibo:

"Recently, I was watching "Zeng Guofan", and I especially liked this sentence - only righteousness can transform people, but righteousness is so self-cultivation. Give it to certain people. ”

Huayi's wave of water army also had some effect, and the box office of "Thai Embarrassment" in the next two days was indeed less. Of course, it is not excluded that everyone is off on weekdays.

On December 20th, Big Brother Cheng was released with "Zodiac", which has been prepared and promoted for a long time.

To be reasonable, although the eldest brother's private morality has always been criticized, in terms of movies, he is indeed the most legendary filmmaker after Bruce Lee. With his bare hands, he made a name for himself in Hollywood, and even won the Oscar for Lifetime Achievement.

In particular, even in some parts of Africa, there are a large number of black uncles who like Jackie Chan. In many places, when you say that you are Chinese, the first answer from the other party is "Oh!I kno, Jackie Chan!"

It's like a Chinese business card.

Therefore, when he returns with "Zodiac", there are still a lot of people looking forward to it. After all, the eldest brother said that this should be his last kung fu comedy with fierce fights.

So what are "Jedi Escape", "Kung Fu Yoga" and "British Showdown"?

If you don't think about it too much, "Zodiac" is actually quite a good comedy. Speeding car chases, thrilling shots, weapon masters, witty fights, handsome guys and beauties, exotic style, the international style and positive energy as always throughout the film. Reasonable, what else do you want to see?

Therefore, on the first day of its release on the 20th, it broke the record of "12-year Chinese film premiere box office" just created by "Thai Embarrassment" with a box office score of 44.2 million, and overtook "Thai Embarrassment" with a box office of 43 million on the same day.

Unfortunately, this is only this time.

The next day, the box office of "Zodiac" slipped to 39 million, while "Thai Embarrassment" still maintained 41 million. And throughout the subsequent release, he has been suppressed by "Thai Embarrassment".

Despite this, the results of "Zodiac" are already good. and it were also released on the 20th, "Big Shanghai" and "Blood Drops", and there was not even a splash in the whole process, and they were all in obscurity.

For this kind of achievement, Perfect Film and Television is naturally very happy, and a celebration banquet is a must. The perfect time for the celebration banquet was set on the evening of the 21st, which happened to be the day of the "end of the world" that has been rumored for a long time.

The specifications of this celebration banquet are not small, and several major companies such as Huayi, Bona, and Guangguang have come. Even though everyone was fighting for life and death less than a week ago, it was all as if it had never happened. Whether it's perfect or a few others, they all talk happily.

Of course, the protagonist of the celebration banquet is Xu Zheng, who specially rushed back from Shuchuan, who had just finished the roadshow.

"I want to thank a lot of people for the success of "Thai Embarrassment". Because it's not my own work, it's everyone's effort. Xu Zheng stood on the small stage and said to everyone.

He was the first to thank Liu Yiwei, which is not surprising to everyone. The original idea and script of "Thai Embarrassment" were made by Liu Yiwei and him.

The second thank, Xu Zheng chose Mu Ming. It's a bit surprising, but it makes sense to think about it. After all, at the beginning, it was indeed Mu Ming who was the first to choose Xu Zheng, and also introduced him to the perfect film and television.

Many of the people present are the bosses of major film and television companies, and they are all moved in their hearts when they hear this, if "33 Days of Broken Love" is the luck of this young man, then "Thai Embarrassment" is not just luck. Obviously, it was this young man who had a unique vision for the choice of projects.

If you have the opportunity, you can ask if you can cooperate. Many people looked at the young man standing on the side of the banquet hall and said secretly in their hearts.

The celebration banquet didn't end until more than ten o'clock in the evening, Mu Ming and Xu Zheng said goodbye, and went home with a well-fed classmate Xiao Zhao. As soon as he entered the door, Xiao Zhao went to the bathroom to wash, while Mu Ming sat on the rocking chair on the balcony and stared blankly at the starry sky outside.

Until Xiao Zhao came out, Mu Ming maintained this posture.

"You don't seem to be happy. Xiao Zhao wiped his hair while looking at Mu Ming and said suspiciously.

"I'm idle, what's my pleasure about?"

"The box office of "Thai Embarrassment" is so good, isn't it worth being happy?"

"Whew!" Mu Ming exhaled: "No matter how good the grades are, it is also Brother Xu's." It doesn't have much to do with me. ”

Xiao Zhao was stunned for a moment, and then understood. Mu Ming was stimulated. This kid is quite ambitious.

"Isn't your script finished? It just so happens that the studio has finished filming several dramas now, and it's time to start preparing for "Wolf Boy". Xiao Zhao comforted.

"That's right!" Mu Ming suddenly came to her senses: "Tomorrow I will go to Sister Du Yang and tell her that she is ready to start preparing for "Wolf Boy". ”

Two years, four films, eight crews. Now, I'm finally going to make my own film.

"Ah, it's past midnight, Xiao Zhao. Mu Ming was suddenly surprised.

Xiao Zhao looked back at a clock hanging on the wall: "So what?"

"I've been with you through the end of the world!"

Xiao Zhao tilted his head and looked at Mu Ming, who was suddenly happy for a long time, and reached out to hug Mu Ming and said, "Little brother, you are so cute." ”

"I'm not cute, you're cute. Mu Ming also hugged the girl in her arms with her backhand.

"Congratulations on coming to the new world. ”

A new world that will belong to me!
