Chapter 1404 - Applause or Not
"A movie about the blood and honor of Chinese soldiers, you can't miss it!"
"Non-mainstream military movies, this summer, explode you, me and him!"
"Wu Jing's powerful Chinese military hero movie, the blood is boiling so much that it makes you explode!"
"Wu Jing presents the August 1st Army Day and pays tribute to the Chinese soldiers!"
The next day, reports and film reviews about "War Tiger" began to appear on major online media, and it should be said that most of the media are still very face-saving for the special invitation to watch "War Tiger", so in the relevant reports and film reviews, they basically gave quite good reviews.
And those fans who have watched the movie also spontaneously began to write film reviews on the Internet, expressing their feelings, coupled with the promotion of Lo International's various channel media, so for a while, there was a feeling of a hundred flowers blooming.
Because he had witnessed the quality of this movie last night, the last worry in Bai Ningyuan's heart was also put down, in general, the film directed by Wu Jing surpassed many domestic films in terms of quality, and it should be said that it was quite good in terms of commercial films alone.
Coupled with the reaction of those moviegoers last night, Bai Ningyuan's heart suddenly had a little more expectation for the performance of this movie.
Maybe it will be able to achieve a counterattack!
Well, Transformers 3 is indeed powerful, but who can say that in the entire summer file, the audience can only watch this Mind Changer King Kong 3, and not other movies.
In this case, with excellent quality and strong publicity and public relations, "War Tiger" may not be able to get a higher box office.
Chinese people are always accustomed to thinking about things in a good way, and the same is true for Bai Ningyuan now.
It's just that his YY was quickly defeated by the ruthless reality.
When the first box office day passed, Bai Ningyuan couldn't wait to open the website and wanted to take a look at the first-day box office of "War Tiger", but he was stunned by the data in front of him.
On the first release day, the domestic box office of "War Tiger" was only more than 60,000, that is to say, in this era of more than 20 yuan in ticket prices, in one day, only about 3,000 people across the country watched this movie.
This can no longer be described as a failure, it is simply a gorgeous Waterloo.
For a moment, Bai Ningyuan even wondered if his eyes were wrong.
In fact, this is the real situation faced by a rookie director, after all, Wu Jing was just an action star in the past, and even when he was an actor, he was not popular, so the audience's doubts about him are not unreasonable, if it were not for the hype of many media, even the number of more than 3,000 people would not be there.
Chinese people still have a very harsh attitude towards domestic films, generally speaking, except for comedies, it is generally difficult for other films to be recognized, and it is even more difficult to get a good result.
Not to mention anything else, even if it is a big director like Niu Bi and Zhang Yan Fenggang, their works are different and often face criticism and criticism.
Coupled with the almost negligible box office in the country on the night of the premiere, the total box office income is not even 70,000, so not to mention making money, not even a fraction of the cost of investing in it.
This is still the first-day box office, and generally speaking, from the first-day box office, you can predict the general trend of a movie.
Of course, there are no dark horses with great stamina, but at present, in the eyes of everyone, Wu Jing's movie does not seem to have such potential.
"Anyway, is this smearing the Chinese soldiers? One by one, they lined up to be abused by others, which is also called special forces?"
"Go and save people without smoke bombs, although I know it's the plot needs, but this is too child's play!"
"Hahaha, the bullets can't be shot, all kinds of shots can't be killed, it's just a hanging!"
"In ancient times, there was an anti-Japanese drama, and now there is another military god. ”
As more and more people have watched the movie, all kinds of negative comments have begun to pop up, although the vast majority of those viewers who have seen it have expressed praise for this movie, but there are still some people who like to use all kinds of complaints to show their superiority.
In their eyes, the film can be said to be useless.
Even the sentence in it, which was regarded as a propaganda slogan, "Those who offend me in China will be punished even if they are far away" are used to complain about the chauvinism of the big countries.
Generally speaking, if a movie has mixed reviews, or is extremely good or extremely bad, there will often be a small spike of controversy and discussion on the Internet, and to some extent, this is also a manifestation of attention.
But for "War Tiger", although there are praisers and complainers, this kind of controversy is only limited to a small range, and it has not set off any waves at all.
This is obviously not a good thing, there is no attention, which means that the audience will not even watch it, and will not even have any impression of this movie.
That's the scariest thing.
But this kind of thing is not something that Bai Ningyuan or Wu Jing or someone can decide and change, because this is not a certain person or a few people, but a fairly large group, and it is not easy to change and influence their decisions.
When Bai Ningyuan was depressed, he received a call from Wu Jing, on the phone, Wu Jing apologized to him again, in his opinion, Bai Ningyuan generously paid for his dreams and injected capital, which was definitely enough for a friend, but he, because of his ability, failed to make this work achieve a good result, which made Bai Ningyuan's investment go down the drain, so he was very guilty of Bai Ningyuan, and he was involved in him.
It is true that Wu Jing is quite satisfied with his work, but his own satisfaction does not bring box office, for commercial films, the box office is king.
Originally, Bai Ningyuan should have comforted him, after all, this movie was his hard work, for him, it was just like his own child, now the recognition of "War Tiger" is not high, and the most uncomfortable person should be him, but now he actually apologized to himself first, which is enough to see how guilty he is in his heart.
Perhaps, the production cost of this movie is not low, but for Bai Ningyuan, who has deep pockets, it is really nothing, and even he may be thick when he plucks the heel hair from his legs, so for Wu Jing's guilt, Bai Ningyuan comforted him: "It's okay, the box office doesn't say anything, this can be seen from the reaction of those moviegoers, besides, it's only the first day, and now it's the time when Transformers is released, and people's attention is on Transformers, so for "War Tiger" It's not something that can't be understood that the attention is not much, and maybe after a while, it will be able to pick up. ”
Even Bai Ningyuan knew in his heart that such a statement was probably just self-comfort, but at this time, such a thought was the only comfort in the hearts of the two people.
In the end, it is their own work, no matter who they are, they must all want a good result, which is undoubtedly not only an affirmation of themselves, but also a reward for their hard work.
In such a nervous and slightly apprehensive mood, they soon ushered in their second release day.
Since early in the morning, Bai Ningyuan has been sitting in front of the computer, constantly refreshing the page in front of him.
Although the current statistics of the movie box office are not as fast and convenient as those of later generations, and there are not so many websites or web pages that can make people intuitively see the results, to a certain extent, the "intranet" data of several cinemas that Bai Ningyuan has mastered can still explain a lot of problems.
Soon, in the midst of suffering, the cycle of the next day's release came to an end, and Bai Ningyuan, who had been waiting, quickly got the data he couldn't wait to get.
On the second release day, the domestic box office of "War Tiger" reached 77,000, with a cumulative box office of nearly 150,000 Chinese coins.
Seeing such an achievement, Rao is Bai Ningyuan's mentality remained quite stable, and he had made all kinds of psychological preparations before, and he couldn't help but have a disappointed look at the moment.
Not far away, Wu Jing, as a director, although he didn't say anything when he received such news, the unconcealable loss in his eyes still betrayed him deeply, and he couldn't help but let out a long sigh in his heart.
Although I am very unwilling in my heart, this situation has been constantly staged.
On the third release day, the domestic box office of "War Tiger" was 81,000, and the cumulative box office was 230,000.
On the fourth release day, the domestic box office of "War Tiger" was 63,000, with a cumulative box office of 300,000.
……
The box office data is like a snail with a load, crawling forward slowly, obviously not far away is the final destination, but it can't improve its speed at all, and can only sink in despair.
However, the score on the professional movie website has always been maintained above 7.5 points, which is definitely a rare existence among domestic films.
The word-of-mouth is getting better and better, the box office is getting less and less, and the performance of this movie shows an extreme polarization.
And because of the Waterloo above the box office, the major studios seem to have lost confidence in this movie all of a sudden, and they are also quite dissatisfied with the 5% film scheduling rate, after all, if these screenings are replaced with Transformers, they don't know how many more tickets they will sell in a day.
No matter how strong the face is, it can't withstand the power of interests, and on the fifth day, major movie theaters began to adjust the schedule of "War Tiger" one after another......
The next chapter will be very late.,It may be around 23 o'clock.,It's already a mess.,Forgive me......
