Chapter 185

Therefore, in general, "Journey to the West: Daughter Country" has completely become a bad movie.

In fact, if you jump out of the 86 version of the TV series and treat this movie as a spin-off, or an adaptation, it is still very good.

It's just a pity that the original work has been completely filmed over the years.

And the most critical point is that the reason why Fang Siyi is not optimistic about "Journey to the West" is actually because of the focus of this movie.

After the release of the film, some people said that the story of Journey to the West, what I watched was Brother Monkey fighting monsters, but you were in love with this movie, so it's no wonder that it failed at the box office.

Although this is true in reality, your afterthought skills are also great.

In fact, from the trailer, you can see the clues.

The focus of the propaganda also tells a love story.

In fact, this can be seen from Director Zheng's "Journey to the West" series of previous works.

Tang Seng is just a mortal.

He can be scared, he will cry, and he will even be angry.

No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like an enlightened monk.

This may be the reason why Director Zheng adapted this difficulty into this.

Looking back on the eighty-one difficulties of Journey to the West.

Only this one is the most difficult.

Why?

Because in this difficulty, Brother Monkey has no world-class force, but in the end, he can only be anxious on the sidelines.

And this difficulty is so special.

Because of this difficulty, it is Tang Seng himself.

Therefore, Director Zheng strengthened the difficulty of Tang Seng's catastrophe, but he added a very nonsensical subline.

That is, the story between the national teacher and the river god.

This is the most troublesome part.

After Fang Siyi received the full script, he originally didn't want to act.

But on the contrary, Yingbao agreed.

In fact, Yingbao can't be blamed for this.

In the dream, although Yingbao was born in the Beijing circle, it was the circle of Xiangjiang that finally supported her.

In other words, the Beijing circle missed out on Yingbao.

And although Ying Bao knew that the script was still flawed, the reason why she still had to take over the filming was very simple.

In order to repay the favor.

Although Fang Siyi escorted him back then, as an artist, especially a sweet-looking female artist, it was really dangerous.

During a cocktail party in the industry, Yingbao, who only knew about gluttony at the time, inadvertently bumped into a rich second generation.

A very old-fashioned plot happened.

The other party was unrelenting, if it weren't for Xu Laowei, who happened to pass by later, frowning and saying a fair word, I'm afraid Ying Bao would have been forced to apologize in public.

Since then, Yingbao has been equivalent to owing Xu Laowei a favor.

Coincidentally, when the heroine was selected in "Daughter Country", Director Zheng inadvertently said his troubles when he was chatting with Xu Laowei.

Xu Laowei recommended Yingbao.

After all, Yingbao, as a popular first-line actress in the industry today, and has the aura of Fang Siyi's girlfriend, is naturally the most suitable candidate.

In this way, it has become today's "Journey to the West".

In fact, the box office of "Journey to the West: Daughter Country" is not very high, and the box office of 720 million is definitely a loss compared to the cost of 500 million boasted to the outside world.

Ying Bao was even infamous as box office poison for a time.

But the audience's eyes are bright.

Although Ying Bao's acting skills in it are not amazing, they are not as amazing as "Carol" at all.

But when you think about it, it's no surprise that the film was shot at the end of 15 years.

At that time, Yingbao had not yet participated in "Carol", and her acting skills had not been more recognized.

It's understandable to think about it this way.

And to be honest, although the overall performance tends to be exaggerated, the special effects are touching.

Fortunately, there are special effects to brag about.

After talking about the regrettable "Daughter Country", let's talk about the real winner of the Spring Festival.

is not the previously high-profile "Detective Chinatown 2", nor is it the previous "Monster Hunt 2", which was named and criticized for the fake box office.

It is "Operation Red Sea", which was produced by Dream with an investment of 500 million.

The director is Lin Chaoxian, the director of the previously extremely popular "Operation Mekong".

It is precisely because of the mobilization of about 500 million funds that Dream almost entered a state of stagnation in the first half of 17 years.

In the first half of 17 years, the reason why Fang Siyi did not shoot a film and television drama is also because of this.

It's really ......

There is no money.

Although he personally does not lack these 500 million, as a company with reasonable development and a company that is about to go public, how can he not make people sweat when he invests in a big project of 500 million at once?

However, the final result made everyone jaw-dropping.

After experiencing the initial suppression, coupled with the foil of a number of opponents, it became more and more excellent of "Operation Red Sea".

At the beginning of the Spring Festival, Mr. Degang's "Ancestors of the Nineteenth Generation" withdrew from the competition for the Spring Festival stalls in advance because of the extremely low film schedule.

Of course, according to its visual estimate, the cost of this movie will not exceed 20 million, and the final box office of more than 100 million can be regarded as a small profit.

Subsequently, "Journey to the West", which was the first to be screened and broke the box office record on the same day, also ended the competition for the Spring Festival stalls early because of the loss of word-of-mouth.

As for "Monster Hunt 2", which ranked first in pre-sales, and "Detective Chinatown 2", which has high expectations, they finally showed the disappointment and even despair they faced after extremely high expectations.

The former continues the setting of the previous work, but unfortunately, even if Liang Chaowei and Brother Chun join this time, it can't change the ending of this bad movie.

Maybe the little ones will love the look of Huba, but that's about it.

Although the latter led all the way, with the loss of word of mouth, it gradually entered a state of decline.

However, at this time, "Operation Red Sea" exploded.

To be honest, as a movie released during the Spring Festival, "Operation Red Sea" does not have all the factors to become popular in this schedule.

However, the reality is that under the backdrop of peers, what could only be said to be an ordinary plot has instantly become tall.

Originally, it could only be said that Director Lin did not make mistakes, but once again set a new record at the personal box office.

In the end, "Operation Red Sea" completely led the Spring Festival stalls with a box office of 3.5 billion.

and successfully brought the creators who did not have any popularity to the red.

And at this moment, a news report once again pushed Dream to the hot search.

Very simple.

Dream makes a fortune!

500 million capital, net profit 1 billion!

This is a full 500 million principal!

So much so that all of a sudden the company had money!

And the most intuitive embodiment is the Dream stock of the day, which is completely up and down!

And this situation, for three days in a row!

Even if it fell back later, Dream's share price has increased to nearly 85 billion!

I have to say that the success of this movie has completely made Dream's originally mythical investment vision reach a new peak again!
