Section 161 Closed beta of "World of Warcraft".

"Who has a ticket for "Journey to the West: Demon Suppression", I will exchange 2 for one!" There was a spectator waving two tickets for "No Light" in his hand.

No one paid any attention to him.

"Bad movie, who will change it with you." A person with a ticket for "Journey to the West: Demon Suppression" in his hand said.

Do you change 3 sheets? I just have 3 tickets in my hand, in exchange for the ticket for "Journey to the West: Demon Suppression" in your hand, you can sell 2 of the 3 tickets for "No Light" at half price, and leave one to complain about "No Light", which is equivalent to watching a blockbuster movie for free. ”

"No change! I also want to watch "Journey to the West: Demon Conquering Chapter", and I heard them say that "Journey to the West: Demon Conquering Chapter" is very beautiful and exciting! ”

"I strongly ask the theater to draw "No Light" and put "Journey to the West: Demon Suppression", I want to watch "Journey to the West: Demon Suppression", otherwise the ticket will be refunded!"

"Yes, bad movie, draw "No Light" and put "Journey to the West: Demon Suppression", anyway, I don't watch "No Light", whoever likes to watch it, go to see it.

Soon, many of the audience members who were about to go to the second show with tickets for "No Light" muttered loudly to express their dissatisfaction.

The wave of ticket refunds suddenly brought "No Light" to the forefront.

Of course, such a sensational topic media will definitely not let go.

""No Light" was complained by fans and rated as the worst bad movie in history."

"Fans criticized "No Light" for making a bad movie with an investment of hundreds of millions, in addition to the computer special effects being the highlight, people don't know the so-called plot, the dialogue they can't understand, and the inexplicable and wonderful love of God makes "No Light", a blockbuster that fans are looking forward to, be labeled as a bad movie."

"The rotten "No Light" has triggered a wave of ticket refunds from fans!"

……

Many film critics also published comments on "No Light" on Time.com.

"Rotten!" "Poor!" "Dure!" "I don't understand!" ……

This is what film critics have to say about "No Light".

And fans' evaluation of "No Light" is.

Douban 4.1 points, time network 4.2 points.

Critics.com 4.0 points.

The label given to "No Light" is a bad movie (8454), and the computer special effects are great (5451). I don't know what to call (3499), it's not worth seeing (5423).......

The complaints of the media, film critics and fans directly slapped producer Wang Xiaodong and director Zhang Yunhui.

Originally, it was more or less able to recoup some of the investment. But the blame is that "No Light" directly chose to collide with "Journey to the West: Demon Suppression", and was directly crushed by "Journey to the West: Demon Suppression", a blockbuster film praised by fans.

The audience chose to watch "Journey to the West: Demon Suppression".

On the second day of its release, "No Light" was directly not full, which is a very bad phenomenon.

A blockbuster with an investment + publicity fee of more than 120 million yuan was only released on the second day, and it was not full. What does this mean?

Everyone in the industry knows that "No Light" pounced, pounced very badly, and in the face of Chen Dong + Wang Sen's "Journey to the West: Demon Suppression", it was directly crushed and crushed, and the investment was ironclad.

The investment of 120 million yuan, if you want to recover the investment, the box office must be at least 350 million ~ 400 million.

"No Light" can burn high incense in the face of the crushing box office of "Journey to the West: Demon Suppression", which is likely to be a little more than 100 million.

If "No Light" does not have the box office grabbing of "Journey to the West: Demon Suppression". With shocking computer special effects and the attraction of big-name stars, it is still very promising to recover more than 200 million.

It's weird, Wang Xiaodong and Zhang Yunhui are too confident, and they directly chose to fight in the ring with "Journey to the West: Demon Suppression". The box office lost is not a point or two, it is directly more than 100 million, or even 200 million.

In a closed office.

Wang Xiaodong and Zhang Yunhui had an unsightly face, smoking cigarettes one after another.

The entire office was filled with smoke.

On the second day of release, there was dissatisfaction in the theater, and for a blockbuster with an investment of 120 million yuan, it was impossible to discuss simplicity.

Coupled with the complaints of fans, the trend of ticket refunds. The fierce criticism of film critics, as well as the promotion of entertainment media.

Douban 4.2 points! Time.com 4.3 points!

Critics.com 4.0 points!

The overall score is 4.1 points!

The label of "No Light" is a bad movie, I don't know what it is, it's not worth watching.

All of this!

It all shows that the audience doesn't buy it!

"Pounced!" Wang Xiaodong said lightly.

"yes. Pounced! It's good that "No Light" can recover more than 100 million box office! More than half of the loss. Zhang Yunhui took a hard puff of his cigarette and said.

"Perhaps, it shouldn't be in the ring with "Journey to the West: Demon Conquering Chapter", without the box office grabbing of "Journey to the West: Demon Conquering Chapter", with the shocking movie special effects of "No Light" and the gathering of big names, these two selling points can at least recover more than 200 million." Wang Xiaodong said. He regretted it a little.

You must know that the production fee of 7500w plus 4000w of publicity and distribution fee is all paid by him. Nearly 100 million 2 lost more than half, and the loss was at least 80 million, which was definitely a nerve-wracking for him.

If he didn't choose to collide with "Journey to the West: Demon Suppression", he could recover more than 200 million yuan, and the loss would be less, he would still be able to accept it.

As for Zhang Yunhui, although he has no loss in money, he has lost a lot of fame, and now many people question him.

With the investment of 7500w from investors, I made a bad movie!

In any case, it can't hide the fact that he made a bad movie.

Next, neither of them spoke.

Both of them had gloomy faces, smoking cigarettes one after the other, which could indicate their bad mood.

Compared with the one-sided criticism of "No Light" by fans, media, and film critics.

For the movie "Journey to the West: Demon Suppression", they all gave a very high evaluation of Time.com 9.7

Douban score: 9.5

Film Critics Network Score: 9.6

Overall rating: 9.6.

It can be said that fans like this movie very much and give it a very high rating.

The label of "Journey to the West: Demon Suppression". Funny: (8458), Classic (4587), Nervous, Exciting (4514), Great Love Chen Dong (5844) .......

Under the influence of so many good reviews. Fans have bought tickets to go into the movie to watch this movie that makes people nervous, stinging/exciting, hilarious, and brings people a shocking visual feast.

After walking out of the movie, I watched the time, and it was almost noon, and the two of them were a little hungry.

Thereupon. I drove to a nearby restaurant for lunch.

While eating, a phone call came.

Chen Dong picked up his mobile phone and looked at the caller ID, it was Gao Ming.

"Hey! Team Leader Gao, is there something wrong? Chen Dong put down his chopsticks, picked up his mobile phone and said.

"Boss, World of Warcraft has been made, and after the closed test, some bugs have been modified, as well as some minor problems. Feel free to enter the closed beta, and I want you to take a look at it, get into the game for yourself, and see if there's anything you need to improve. ”

"Alright! I'll come over in the afternoon, is there anything else? Chen Dong nodded.

"That's it, see you in the afternoon."

“88!”

Chen Dong hung up the phone. said to Chen Ying, who was sitting opposite, "Xiaoying, are you free in the afternoon?" ”

"I took a day off today, and I have time in the afternoon." Chen Ying raised her head and said to Chen Dong.

"Well, as the proprietress of the hostess, are you interested in going to my company in the afternoon?"

"Boss?" Chen Ying glared at Chen Dong, "I haven't married you yet!" ”

"You'll marry me sooner or later." Chen Dong smiled and said.

"Well, I started a game development company last year. The company's second game is about to be beta tested.,Now the person in charge of the company invites you to go to the company to experience the game in person.,See what needs to be improved.。 ”

Hearing this, Chen Ying said in surprise, "You actually opened a game development company." What is the name of the company that opened last year? ”

Chen Dong took a piece of fish with chopsticks and put it in his mouth, and said to Chen Ying, "Azure Game Development Company! ”

Hearing this, Chen Ying shook her head, "I don't know." ”

Indeed, when it comes to Azure game development companies, few people pay attention to them, for example, in the original plane, many people know the game "Angry Birds", but few people know that the game "Angry Birds" was made by that company.

"Then you always know, Plants vs. Zombies! Plants vs. Zombies was made by my company. ”

"Plants vs. Zombies"? It's the game that was so popular all over the world last year! Hearing this, Chen Ying was surprised, and said to Chen Dong incredulously, "It was actually made by your company." ”

"Plants vs. Zombies" from the second half of last year to the present, it can be said that it is very popular on the Internet, especially after "Plants vs. Zombies" came out of the mobile game version, there are countless people who play it, interesting gameplay, challenging, colorful pictures, as well as cute dead plants and funny zombies, popular all over the world.

Even she downloaded the game and played it for a while while chatting, which was very fun.

I didn't expect "Plants vs. Zombies" to be produced by Chen Dong's company, which is incredible.

Next, the two chatted while eating.

chatted with Chen Ying about the production process of "Plants vs. Zombies".

Chen Ying was very interested and listened carefully.

"In other words, this challenging, fun idea of Plants vs. Zombies is what you want to come up with." Chen Ying said to Chen Dong.

"Yes, once, when I was surfing the Internet, I saw a similar idea proposed by a netizen on the Internet, so I thought that it would be very interesting to make this idea into a game!

After thinking about it for a long time, I chose plants and zombies for both sides of the battle, because there is no cultural difference between the East and the West between plants and zombies, and both Easterners and Westerners like them.

After having plants and zombies, it took some time to enrich the fun, challenging, and variety of the game, which led to the later Plants vs. Zombies.

You also know that at that time, I hadn't participated in the singing competition at that time, and I didn't get the first manuscript fee for "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty", and I only got paid for writing books online at the starting point, which was about 100,000 yuan! With these hundreds of thousands, plus a game idea, I created Sky Blue Game Development Company to produce "Plants vs. Zombies", fortunately, I succeeded, and "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty", as well as the ideal release of the first record, I am not short of money, otherwise, I can't even get my salary. ”
