Chapter Eighty-Eight: Spit on the Bamboo Sea Wasteland
Magic City Light and Shadow Cinema.
Du Jiayi and Yang Tangqin waited in the hall for the movie to start.
After dealing with the wound of the hot pot, Du Jiayi entrusted it to Sister Hong. Hot pot is a small episode, according to the arrangement, you should watch a movie after eating.
Because of his investment in the movie "Crazy Stone", Du Jiayi has a lot of attention to movies. For the Hollywood blockbuster "American Treasure 3" and the domestic giant "Bamboo Sea Wasteland" that premiered on Christmas, Du Jiayi is still more concerned.
"Watch "Bamboo Sea Wasteland", it was filmed by director Liang Tongda, it should be very good-looking!" Yang Tangqin covered his chin and said in a tangled manner.
At this time, movie tickets are really expensive, and they are dozens or hundreds of dollars at every turn. "Bamboo Sea Wasteland" claims to have invested more than 100 million yuan, and it is the first film in China with an investment of more than 100 million, with a ticket price of more than 100 million.
Du Jiayi glanced at the big screen at the ticket office, American Treasure and Zhuhai Wasteland occupied most of the filming, and Crazy Stone was only a few scenes, which looked pitiful.
However, the investment in "Crazy Stone" barely exceeded 10 million, and the box office in the first week was more than 90 million, almost breaking 100 million. The investment has already been recovered, and it is still a lot of money, and there is no pressure in the face of the encirclement and suppression of two blockbusters!
Movies, in essence, are commodities, and directing is like starting a company. If the director proves that he has the ability to make money, investors will come to you with money to film, if you are box office poison, even if you are begging others, people are not willing to invest money.
The reason why Liang Tong was able to get a record-breaking investment of more than 100 million yuan is that he has proved his profitability with several movies.
The attendance rate of "Bamboo Sea Wasteland" is very high, which is not only a recognition of Liang Tong's word-of-mouth, but also a welcome from fans of the original martial arts novel.
Du Jiayi held a large bucket of popcorn, and finally squeezed through the crowd to make it.
"There are so many people!" Yang Tangqin stuck out his tongue and sighed, "The last time there were so many people, it was when I watched "Crazy Stone"! β
"How can a comedy like "Crazy Stone" be compared to "Bamboo Sea Wasteland"!" A man with glasses sitting in the back seat retorted unhappily.
"That kind of comedy movie can only be funny! Movies like Bamboo Sea Wasteland are the real art! The man with glasses said adoringly, "Master Liang Tong is the best director in China!" β
"You ......"
Listening to the man with glasses say this about "Crazy Stone", Yang Tangqin was not happy. This movie was invested by Du Jiayi, and Yang Tangqin also went to see it last time, the movie is really funny, where is it so unbearable! Even if you praise Liang Tong, you can't hit others!
"Forget it!" Du Jiayi blocked.
Coming out to watch movies is for leisure and entertainment, and there is no need to be angry with others. The man with glasses looks like an otaku among otaku, an absolute brainless fan, and fighting with this kind of person will only make him uncomfortable.
The eyed man was still muttering: "The national teacher said that the box office of Zhuhai Wasteland is at least 500 million!" This is a new domestic box office record! β
When Du Jiayi heard the man with glasses say this, he just smiled! The glasses man's vision is too narrow. The current domestic box office record is only more than 100 million, and it is very difficult to make a qualitative leap. What's more, there is still a Hollywood blockbuster in the Bamboo Sea Wasteland, don't underestimate the fans accumulated in the first two parts of American Treasure.
After the dragon mark and the distribution company finished playing, they entered the feature film.
A sea of green bamboo, rippling in the wind, is like a sea, and there is a lot of energy in the ups and downs. Liang Tong is a photographer and has a unique understanding of the use of color. Some people say that every picture of Liang Tong's movie can be made into a poster!
The shocking feeling given by the opening is really amazing! Du Jiayi had to admit that Ning Hao's level was far behind Liang Tong!
The rhythm of the background music suddenly became aggressive, and the originally soft bamboo sea began to become violent.
"Roar-" A long howl came out of the forest sea, and a white figure leaped out.
A classical beauty stood at the tip of the bamboo, looking around very coldly and proudly.
A man dressed as a black swordsman flew in from across the sky.
"I'm going to a meeting!"
"Morning incense!"
"See you, you should have a stick of incense early!"
"Why a stick?"
"One stick is enough!"
"Why?"
β¦β¦
"Senior brother, what are they talking about?" Yang Tangqin asked stunned.
"Uh......" Du Jiayi thought for a moment, "These two people may be a couple, right?" β
"They are brothers and sisters!" The man with glasses whispered in the back, "The two of them are brothers and sisters!" β
Du Jiayi hasn't read the original book of Zhuhai Wasteland, so I really don't know about it. It's really that the dialogue between these two protagonists is too tricky and ambiguous.
"Scratchβ"
Du Jiayi didn't think of how to explain, and the two people on the screen suddenly fought. From mid-air, you come and go, the man may want to let go a little, and he is pressed and beaten by the woman. Then it opened up in the sea of bamboo, a sword light, and the thick bamboo was cut off by the waist, and it fell to pieces.
"That's not right! There is no such paragraph in the original book, the two of them depend on each other! How could it be a big fight! The man with glasses said incredulously.
Liang Tong made great changes to the original work. The main line of the Bamboo Sea Wasteland is the revenge of the brothers and sisters, and it is a martial arts story full of atmosphere for the country and the people. In the movie, more attention is paid to the excavation of the relationship between the brothers and sisters, and a lot of space is used to describe the story that the brothers and sisters have to say.
The movie is really boring!
It is difficult for Du Jiayi to adapt to the half-vernacular and half-literary lines, and the picture is really good-looking and atmospheric, but considering the hollowness of the plot, the watchability of the whole movie is very low.
"I'm almost asleep~" Yang Tangqin watched for more than half an hour, and said a little lazily.
Not only Du Jiayi and Yang Tangqin, but the entire movie theater was groggy and not angry at all. Du Jiayi glanced back, and the man with glasses was still staring at the screen very seriously, as if he wanted to find out why the movie was so different from the original book!
"Why don't you go and see the treasures of America~!" Yang Tangqin, who walked out of the movie theater, said.
Seeing that someone left early, Du Jiayi also pulled Yang Tangqin, who couldn't stand it, and walked out.
"It's really boring!" Du Jia flipped the popcorn in his hand, "I haven't even eaten a third of it." β
β¦β¦
"There are 17 rows of seats in the theater, 32 seats in each row, a total of 48 ceilings, and a black dot in the lower left corner of the screen always appears, at a frequency of about one minute and 20 seconds. The man in front of him kept looking east, west, up, and down, looking down at his watch almost every two minutes, a total of 52 times. I ate a total of 1,352 popcorns, two of which did not bloom, and the last sentence, why can Weibo complain only 140 words! β
This Weibo surpassed almost all Weibo and became the first hit of the day.
There are also a lot of hot complaints below.
"Damn, it's the first time I've seen such a vivid and vivid review, I'll give him the best movie review!"
"It's a good novel, but it's ruined by Liang Tong! The martial arts film was made into a romance movie! Isn't that an action romance movie? β
"Who said bad! The movie is very good, but the time is too short, and it is over before I can sleep steadily! β
You should have read Weibo before you went out, and you knew that the evaluation of Zhuhai Wasteland was so low, so I didn't pick this movie to watch.
On the 25th, "Bamboo Sea Wasteland" ranked first with a box office of more than 16 million, "American Treasure 3" ranked second with more than 15 million, and "Crazy Stone", which ranked third, only had a box office of more than 2 million after its release a week after its release.
On the 26th, there was a change, "Bamboo Sea Wasteland" and "American Treasure 3" both declined, exceeding 10 million in front of them, according to this trend, the recovery of investment is far away. Crazy Stone went against the market, with a box office of more than 3 million on the same day.
"The publisher of Zhuhai Wasteland asked us to delete the false comments on Weibo and asked us to clarify!" Ma Degao, director of Yijia Weibo, said.
"Don't let people say that the movie is not good?" Du Jiayi felt that there was something wrong with the logic of the publishing company's thinking. Instead of looking for problems in the movie itself, I want to suppress bad reviews.
"Jinghai Distribution Company is also a bit powerful, and it may have a lot of background." Ma Degao said a little weakly.
"As long as the comments don't violate the law, don't violate ethics, and don't promote negative news, we don't have the right to delete them!" "If we delete them because of their pressure, then more and more people will come forward in the future, and how will we deal with it?" β
As soon as this mouth opens, is Weibo still Weibo?
Jinghai Distribution Company and Huayu, the production company of Zhuhai Wasteland, are both bigwig-level groups in the entertainment industry. Both companies have a close relationship with the media, so there is basically no negative news about the movie "Bamboo Sea Wasteland" in print newspapers and magazines. is full of praise from professors and experts, and it seems that soon the film will be able to break the domestic box office record.
Viewers who went to the movies for the first two days in front of the good reviews had a feeling of being deceived, but how could ordinary viewers speak in newspapers and magazines. Therefore, many online communities and social networking sites are complaining about "Bamboo Sea Wasteland", among which the emerging Weibo is the most active.
Among the more than 30 million active users on Weibo, almost all of them are young people, and there are not too many jokers who love to complain. Combined with the popular functions of Weibo's characteristic comments and likes, many outstanding Weibo will be recommended to more people. Compared with traditional online communities, Weibo is more interactive and convenient for everyone to communicate.
Most of the young people who are active on Weibo are the main force of movie consumption.
After Jinghai Distribution Company noticed the huge impact of Weibo on the reputation of the movie, it immediately contacted Yijia Weibo, hoping that Yijia Weibo could delete some bad comments as a platform.
