Chapter 367: Subversive
January 23rd. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
In the conference room of DreamWorks, waiting for the box office results of "The Butterfly Effect" to come out.
As a result, Wang Meng never expected it.
In Chinese mainland, "Butterfly Effect" was released for one day, because it was a Lunar New Year file, many people had time to watch it, and the hot discussion on the Internet in the early stage was called a fierce one, so the box office was unexpected.
One day after its release, "Butterfly Effect" won 23 million at the box office inland. It's surprising.
However, it seems that the employees of DreamWorks feel that the box office is low, sorry for Wang Meng's reputation, you must know that "Painted Skin" broke 100 million in four days, and 30 million on the first day.
But Wang Meng doesn't think so, this achievement makes him a little overwhelmed, not that he is not optimistic about his works.
Rather, it is precisely because I know best what kind of work my work is. The quality is absolutely not good, and the plot can be called a classic.
But!
"The Butterfly Effect" is dark and depressing throughout, and it is by no means what a blockbuster movie looks like. Belong - very classic, but! The kind that doesn't see many people.
The box office of 23 million on the day was definitely caused by his own reputation.
It will be difficult for "Butterfly Effect" to get such a high box office later, because there will be many people who don't like it, although it is very classic.
In Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, "Butterfly Effect" was also unexpected at the box office.
In one day, the three places won 1,600 games at the box office, of which Hong Kong had more than Taiwan, with a box office of 8.8 million, a box office of 680 in Taiwan, and a box office of nearly 500,000 in Macau.
In Southeast Asia and other places, "Butterfly Effect" won 22 million in one day.
21 million in Japan and 4.2 million in South Korea.
In the whole of Asia, the inland box office is the highest. The combined box office is a box office of 86 million.
In North America and Oceania, "The Butterfly Effect" scored 6.7 million US dollars in one day, equivalent to 51.2 million yuan. Europe's composite is 7.1 million US dollars, surpassing North America, equivalent to 54.3 million yuan.
The global box office in one day was 192 million yuan.
According to the global 35% share, "Butterfly Effect" got 67.3 million revenue in one day.
According to the global publicity fees, copies, costs, etc., "The Butterfly Effect" cost 70 million.
In other words, it almost pays for itself in one day.
And after that, it was pure income, which surprised Wang Meng.
However, Wang Meng was a little speechless. He knows that today's box office is definitely inflated, it belongs to the effect of fame, and it will definitely not be like this tomorrow.
Sure enough......
After the global reach of 1.92 yuan on the first day, many people were stunned by such results, and the results began to decline rapidly on the second day, and only 110 million box office was obtained worldwide.
The decline is very serious, it is not a decline after a few weeks or a long time on the film, it belongs to the decline of the next day.
So many people are curious, could it be that Wang Meng's work failed.
But, incredibly, when the film reviews and newspaper reports came out, many people were even more confused.
Whether it is a report or a film review, almost all of them are applauded, and some people directly call it a classic.
Even if you complain, it's too esoteric, I can't understand it, and it's too dark, not my favorite type. I didn't say that the movie was bad, I just said that I didn't like the genre and was very satisfied with the movie.
Even if someone says - "I can't understand what kind of garbage I photographed".
Such?
It won't be long before fans who are conquered by "The Butterfly Effect" will come out and drown.
"It's normal that your IQ can't read, and your comprehension is suitable for watching cartoons."
"You actually say that such a profound movie is rubbish, I don't understand, is it because the movie is bad or your mind is full of garbage."
"If you take it for people to see, the beasts naturally can't understand it."
"It feels funny, there are several Wang Meng's movies, "Butterfly Effect" is definitely the most exciting one, you actually say it's rubbish, hehe......"
"I was relieved to see a lot of people scolding you."
β¦β¦
And the comments and feelings about "Butterfly Effect" appeared like bamboo shoots after the rain two days later.
One comment said: {"There's a ballad like thisβ
Lost a nail, broke a shoe;
broke a farrier and broke a warhorse;
broke a war horse and wounded a knight;
wounded a knight and lost a battle;
Lost a battle, lost an empire.
I won't talk about the butterfly effect here, I think everyone knows it when you check the information. I'll tell you a few endings about the ending of Wang Meng.
Ending 1:ββ
It was the pig's foot that returned to the mother's belly and strangled itself. It seems like this is a tragic ending. But this ending makes my heart very cold, I don't know if you have carefully watched one of the paragraphs, it is the scene where the pig's foot mother takes the pig's foot to find Dao Gu to tell her fortune, and Dao Gu said that the protagonist should not exist in this world.
However, this is how the protagonist exists, and the existence is terrible. Later, the protagonist's mother said that she had miscarriage three times, and I was scared when I heard this sentence, and if she had three miscarriages, then all three times must have been boys. However, the first end is that the pig's foot returned to the mother's belly, and he strangled himself, that is, he had a live miscarriage.
So in this way, does it mean that the first miscarriage and the second miscarriage also had unimaginable plots, so I wonder if there will be a fourth miscarriage .......
Thinking about it this way, do you think Wang Meng is terrible, and I really don't know how he came up with such a plot?
It seems that it has been in a cycle without light, and the tragic plot has been staged again and again.
And ending two:ββ
It was the pig's foot that returned to the film, the first memory fragment, and a scene of the adaptation of the comic. I think this ending belongs to Wang Meng's painting snake addition, which is seriously not in line with the plot, such an addition is purely because I don't want to offend fans, and I deliberately added it, which is very blunt and a failure.
Judging from the eight crossings of pig's feet in this film, and the mother's so-called three miscarriages, this one should not exist, I don't know what Wang Meng thinks, anyway, I personally think that this one should not exist.
If you say: go back to the first memory breakpoint and change an ending, then the rest will be better? Which inheritance of his ancestors should have ended this tragedy long ago, and is it still the turn of the protagonist to adapt it to a happy ending?
Therefore, this article is purely perfunctory and cannot exist.
The third ending:ββ
It was the pig's foot crossing that was interrupted and became a psychopath like his ancestors, in fact, this ending is the best ending in my opinion!
Yes! This ending is the best, there is no one.
Why? In fact, we can also see that there is no so-called crossing at all, there is nothing in the plot, this is a psychotic fantasy. Thinking about it this way, all the misery is fake, and it is purely hysteria of a mentally ill person.
So I think this is the best ending, this ending can make me a little warm, not to think about the tragic fate of pig's feet, just to treat him as a psychopath.
After I said this, do you think it is incredible, it turns out that the best ending of fantasy turned out to be the most tragic ending, and the most tragic ending turned out to be the best ending that seemed to be.
Of course, this is my personal understanding, as for what everyone thinks, I don't know.
In the same way, I understand why the critics who watched the premiere did not dare to give an answer? Now I understand, because there is no one answer at all, it all depends on what you think.
Finally, I will just say one sentence - Wang Meng is indeed a genius. β}
ββ[Netizen, very boring moviegoer]
in Hong Kong.
A comment by director 'Wang Jiawei' made everyone feel incredible. It's rare for a film director to comment on the work of other directors, and this one did just that.
ββ{"Seriously, I may have done this a little abruptly, but I really can't help but want to say it after watching it."} I looked at several domestic film review websites, and none of the film critics or netizens seemed to define "The Butterfly Effect", and some just had their own ideas.
So I'll also say what I think. Remember, this is not a definition.
It can be seen from Douban, Time and other film review websites that the score of 8.9 has shown that "Butterfly Effect" has become a classic. Otherwise there would be no such score.
A lot of people are talking about their feelings and what they think is the ending, and I would say that this movie has no ending at all and no definition.
Purely Wang Meng used his genius thinking to create an incredible script, and then included a lot of ......
Although there are a lot of them, the regulations are very clear, and there are three endings, I think the second ending belongs to Director Wang's favorite, he has a young heart, belongs to the winner of life, and hopes to have a good ending. So, it seems to be very blunt to add it.
I took a look, and many people think that this article is a blunt addition; But fans who yearn for a better life feel that this is the best ending.
Overall, there are only two endings, good and bad.
And in terms of narrowing, there is no ending, it all depends on your thoughts.
So I said -- this is the end of the matter without a choice, it all depends on the idea.
As for the detailed reviews, I won't say anything, after all, everyone has their own ideas.
Here, I will talk about a director's perspective and the foreshadowing of Director Wang's in the play.
Many people may say that we all know foreshadowing, and the continuous memory fragments of the previous hour are all foreshadowing!
Is that so?
Not really?
I think there are two biggest foreshadowings.
One is:ββ
The first time the male protagonist went to find the heroine, the heroine said: everything will not get better, it will never get better, you love me, but you don't come back to me, let me rot here.
Everyone should be able to see that the heroine has already prompted that everything will not get better, and it is useless to change it.
I didn't understand it when I saw it at the time, but now I understand.
Director Wang's foreshadowing is buried too deeply.
It was here that changed the protagonist and made him even more paranoid, seeing the tragic experience of the heroine, he wanted to change, that is, the eight later crossings, so this foreshadowing is too exciting.
And the second foreshadowing-
It's what Dao Gu said: -- You shouldn't exist in this world at all.
Yes! After hearing this sentence, I felt numb, I felt terrible, and after reading it, I felt even more terrible, and in the end, it was confirmed that the protagonist should not exist in this world.
I don't think I can do this kind of foreshadowing.
So I really admire Director Wang's genius thinking, which opened my eyes. β}
ββ[Famous Director-Wang Jiawei]
After "The Butterfly Effect" came out, it was more exciting than the previous discussion on the Internet.
Who would have thought that the movie was so exciting, it was incredible!!

[PS: Entertainment articles, especially directorial articles, are impossible without media reviews, boasting is not good, and writing reviews is actually difficult to write. I can only promise to write as little as possible, and I will get some unpleasant countries later, so as not to slap my face bluntly. This book is not a book with three golden chapters, and I asked myself if I did it without watering. Of course, it is my first time writing a book, and many plots are not well developed, so try to arrange some other plots to reconcile them later. (To be continued.) )
