Chapter 940: However......
On the second and third days of "Doomsday Strikes Back", the box office was still unbeatable.
However, word-of-mouth has taken a sharp turn, not because the movie is not good enough, but because something other than the movie has gone wrong.
A group of the main creators of "Doomsday Strikes Back" couldn't remember the name of Zhang Yi, who was used as the starring role in the promotion, and what was even more embarrassing was that they were still praising Zhang Yiqing on the spot, saying that they were good friends, good acting skills, very dedicated, etc.
Nima, do you know who Zhang Yiqing is?
Poor Zhang Yi didn't even leave his name, and Zhang Yi's micro-message was directly blown up by netizens.
Most people are complaining about Zhang Yi's previous promotion of "Doomsday Strikeback", if it was just like that, it would be fine, but on the contrary, people can't even remember the name of your leading actor.
That's embarrassing.
On the Internet, the people who eat melons also made up a joke about this matter.
Tom Hansen: Zhang Yiqing is a good friend of mine, and he has good acting skills.
Zhang Yi: It's me, not Zhang Yiqing!
Zhang Yiqing: However, I can only sing, not act.
Tom Hansen: Zhang Yiqing is very talkative, he speaks English very well, and we exchanged a lot about Chinese culture and movies.
Zhang Yiqing: However, I didn't have CET-4 in college.
Zhang Yi: It's me, it's me who told you, not Zhang Yiqing.
......
And the media of good things went to interview Zhang Yiqing himself.
Reporter: "Do you know Tom Henson?"
Zhang Yiqing: "I know him, he doesn't know me." ”
Reporter: "But he said he was good friends with you." ”
Zhang Yiqing: "Did he really say that?"
Reporter: "Yes. ”
Zhang Yiqing: "Then there must be another person named Zhang Yiqing, obviously, you are looking for the wrong person." ”
Reporter: "......"
......
After the incident of Tom Hansen mistaking Zhang Yi's name fermented.
The publicity of "Doomsday Strikes Back" fell into an awkward situation, because whenever Tom Hansen and others went, there would always be reporters or viewers who brought up this issue.
At this time, "Wolf Warrior 2" made a strong debut.
The box office on the first day directly exploded the chrysanthemum of "Doomsday Strikes Back", and the key is that some netizens made a joke.
"I originally booked a ticket for "Doomsday Strikes Back", but I misrecognized the name, so I went to watch "Wolf Warrior 2". ”
"I heard that "Doomsday Strikes Back" is very good, so I went to watch "Wolf Warrior 2", and sure enough, "Doomsday Strikes Back" is very good. ”
"Tom Hansen starred in "Wolf Warrior 2" is so good-looking, the villain boss he plays is simply amazing, and he must be able to top it. ”
"As a fan of Zhang Yiqing, I expressed my disappointment that there is no idol in "Doomsday Strikes Back", and Tom Hansen is a big liar. ”
"As a fan of Zhang Yi, "Doomsday Strikes Back" is a shameful work of idols and must be resisted. ”
"Upstairs, "Doomsday Strikes Back" is starring Zhang Yiqing, right? What does it have to do with Zhang Yi?"
There are also many netizens who directly swapped the posters of "Doomsday Strikeback" and "Wolf Warrior 2", and then a large number of netizens replied at the bottom, this is nothing wrong, this is very Hollywood!
On the other hand, the quality of "Wolf Warrior 2" is higher than the expectations of many Chinese people, and it naturally has a good reputation.
Many people said that "Wolf Warrior 2" surpassed "Wolf Warrior 1" and was more enthusiastic and exciting.
For "Doomsday Strikes Back", people pay more attention to its lace news, but the movie itself is ignored.
Since the release of "Wolf Warrior 2", the chrysanthemum of "Doomsday Strikes Back" has exploded, and the follow-up box office trend has been rising, defeating "Doomsday Strikeback" one after another.
Many netizens said that they chose to watch "Wolf Warrior 2" not because this film is really much better than "Doomsday Strikes Back", but because "Doomsday Strikes Back" deceived the audience, and even Zhang Yi's name was not clear, but Zhang Yi was asked to shout for this movie in China as the starring role.
The box office of "Wolf Warrior 2" showed a peerless trend, while "Doomsday Strikes Back", which is invincible in other regions, was embarrassed to find that the movie was promoted wrong.
Especially after the poster incident starring Zhang Yi, the promotional poster of "Doomsday Strikes Back" is very embarrassing, change it, isn't there no silver here?
If you don't change it, you will continue to be complained about and watched.
Tom Hansen and others went wrong at the first stop when they came to China to publicize, and the follow-up propaganda repeatedly encountered difficulties, and the angry Tom Hansen even accused Chinese reporters of deliberately misleading him on the spot.
In this regard, the media reporter in China said, welcome to continue to complain, if you don't complain, where do we have news to report?
Of course, when people pay more attention to the lace news of a movie than the quality of the movie itself, if it is a bad movie, then it is definitely a good thing, but if it is an ambitious blockbuster like "Doomsday Strikes Back", and there is also a movie of a strong opponent such as "Wolf Warrior 2", it will be embarrassing.
Especially Zhang Yi actually still has a lot of fans in China, and as soon as this incident comes out, Zhang Yi's fans will naturally not be able to continue to support "Doomsday Strikeback".
And because of the behavior of Tom Hansen and others who opened their eyes and told nonsense, many neutral passers-by turned black all of a sudden.
After all, Zhang Yi is also his own person, and Tom Hansen and others do this, which obviously gives people a sense of deception.
Zhang Yi himself was dumbfounded, and since then, many people have found that Zhang Yi's WeChat messages have not been updated for a long time, which is completely different from his previous WeChat messages that he would send several times a day.
If there is no "Wolf Warrior 2", maybe "Doomsday Strikes Back" will not be like this, but "Wolf Warrior 2" itself is also a highly anticipated movie, and when it is full of negative news on the one hand and word-of-mouth on the other, the audience will naturally choose "Wolf Warrior 2".
When the word-of-mouth of "Wolf Warrior 2" fermented, "Doomsday Strikes Back" fell into a strange circle of negative news.
At the same time, the publicity of "Wolf Warrior 2" is in full swing across the country, and it is even more overwhelming on the Internet, but "Doomsday Strikes Back" is embarrassing and lacks publicity.
In such a situation, "Doomsday Strikes Back" can only naturally sink into the sand.
For example, when buying tickets in the cinema, the ticket sales staff recommended "Doomsday Strikes Back" to the audience.
"The Hollywood blockbuster "Doomsday Strikes Back" is very good, and it also has a ...... ticket"
"That movie where you can get the name of the lead actor wrong?"
"No, in fact, Zhang Yi is not the starring ......"
"Zhang Yi isn't the starring actor, isn't it?...... Forget the movie that you can't even figure out the starring role, what's ...... to see"
