Chapter 247: Anonymous Film Review and Magical Box Office
On Sunday, Ming Pao and Oriental Daily, two major newspapers in Hong Kong, launched a discussion column for the hit movie "My Sassy Girlfriend" on the same day.
On this day, two long articles of film criticism published in the columns of two newspapers caused a great sensation among fans.
Both articles point out one thing at the same time: the ending of "Sassy Girlfriend" has a sci-fi plot. The strange old man who clicked on the heroine on the mountain is a morning glory from the future. He took a time machine back to modern times and matched the hero and heroine.
The theme of this film has risen from "love" to "past and future".
The entire plot analysis article written by the female director Zhang Wanting herself, and the "Top Ten Hidden Plots of the Savage Girlfriend You Should Read" published by an anonymous audience, once the two articles were published, they quickly attracted people's attention and were widely spread in just one day, triggering countless discussions inside and outside the industry.
"The ending of "Sassy Girlfriend" has sci-fi elements? Oh my God, I didn't notice it when I watched it?"
"The romance movie that has been so popular these days turned out to be a science fiction film, so interesting?"
"It's so young, Cheng Weiliang, this little director is really not simple! His thinking is much broader than that of us old guys who have been immersed in movies for many years!"
"Isn't it, I thought he had such a special savage girlfriend character this time, which was groundbreaking enough, but I didn't expect that there was still a dark line of 'past and future' buried in other people's movies, echoing the previous plot. The director's level is much higher than that of many of us, so it's no wonder that people always succeed!"
As soon as two highly influential film review articles came out over the weekend, not only the general audience was shocked, but even industry veterans were impressed by the young Cheng Weiliang's directing and screenwriting skills.
In addition to receiving more praise, the already thriving film market of "Sassy Girlfriend" is even more staggering!
Citizens who have never seen this movie are curious to come and see a touching romance with sci-fi elements?
Die-hard fans who have watched the movie found that there were so many details buried in the movie, and they didn't realize it at the time, and they wanted to watch it again and reminisce about it.
Some industry peers are envious, jealous and curious, is Cheng Weiliang, a literary and artistic romance film that has been praised by the media and the audience, really so godly?
So, waves of people rushed to the cinema.
All the theaters where "Sassy Girlfriend" is released, there is a prosperous scene in front of the ticket window, and there is an endless stream of audiences who come to buy tickets.
The long queue even extends from the ticket window to the street outside, which is spectacular and breathtaking to passers-by.
Even if Lei Juekun, the owner of the Golden Princess Cinema Line, brought in other theaters and came to the joint screening of the Chinese and Western third lines, and the number of theaters screened increased to 27 one after another, it could not fully meet the urgent desire of so many audiences to watch the movie.
Many people were disappointed to see the film on the weekend, and they waited in line for most of the day, only to be told that the entire Sunday show was sold out and that they could go to another theater or watch a different date.
"Ma, there are no tickets so early!Let's go, brothers, let's go and have a look elsewhere. A group of teenagers scolded and left.
"What should I do? Ah Hong, all the tickets for today's show are sold out, and I can't watch it. A young man who followed them also withdrew from the ticket window in disappointment and said to his girlfriend.
"What, it's only two o'clock in the afternoon and it's all sold out? When Ah Hong heard that there was no ticket, she was incredulous and disappointed.
"It's okay, there are no tickets for this "Sassy Girlfriend", so let's watch another one. "Double Dragon Goes to Sea" must have a ticket, I heard that this one is also very good, Cen Jianxun and Wu Yaohan, the two friends, still continue the first part so funny. The boyfriend advised.
"No, the sisters I heard say that "Sassy Girlfriend" is very good, the plot is innovative, and you laugh until your stomach hurts, and it is very touching. Ah Hong was curious about the love movies that her sisters highly recommended, and she was reluctant to give up her original idea.
"And "Double Cannon" has already been watched, "Double Dragons Go to Sea" is a sequel, and the plot and jokes may be like that, and there is no difference. It should be that the plot of "Sassy Girlfriend" is more interesting. ”
Before my boyfriend could say anything, a young man next to him interjected, "That's right! Of course, "My Sassy Girlfriend" is better, you will definitely not regret choosing it!"
"I bet a dollar, you see, if you don't think it's funny, count me as losing, if you don't move, count me as losing!"
""Double Dragon Goes to Sea", I watched it a while ago, to be honest, "My Savage Girlfriend" filmed with Cheng Weiliang is not on the same level at all!"
"The jokes in "Double Dragon Going to Sea" are all funny for the sake of being funny, just to make you laugh, it's meaningless, just watch it. ”
""Sassy Girlfriend" is different, the plot in it is very full of life, as if it happened around all of us, romantic and funny, and many classic scenes will make you have endless memories later. The love between the hero and heroine is even more moving. ”
"Listen to me, yes! "Sassy Girlfriend" is a landmark love movie in the newspapers, not comparable to other ordinary funny movies!" The young man seemed to be a die-hard movie fan, and Barabala's told a lot of things to a young couple.
Ah Hong's boyfriend asked weakly: "Brother, you seem to be very familiar with the plot of "Sassy Girlfriend", have you already watched it......?
The young man said: "Of course, when I watched it for the first time, some people said that I lacked emotional intelligence and didn't understand the movie, so I watched it a second time, and I vowed to find out all the questions and answers hidden by the director in the plot." ”
"Today, you're going to come and see it for the third time?" asked Ah Hong and her boyfriend with wide eyes and great surprise. Is this romance movie really that appealing?
"That's right! Now Cheng Weiliang is my idol, and Wang Guxian is my goddess!" said the young man proudly.
"I see that you haven't read today's movie review, take this one, there will definitely be something you don't understand when you watch the movie, this can help you solve your doubts. He shoved the two newspapers he had in his hand to the couple.
The two lovers looked at each other, this is really a fan who has been poisoned deeply! However, watching a romance movie, can we still not understand it?
"Boss, it's exploded, it's exploded! Today's box office has exploded across the board! This "Sassy Girlfriend" is really amazing, 2.12 million! It really broke the 2 million mark that day! It's not much worse than "Best Partner"!" Li Maowen's statistical report for those days excitedly called the big boss to report the good news
