Chapter 245 The two movies are inevitably compared
readx;
Lu Mengan's words also felt disgustingly false, in fact, what he wanted to say could be expressed in a few words, and the score was not bad: "Let's finish playing "Source Code"...... In front of "Walking Against the Light", there is no part for you to speak. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Everyone more or less heard the indifference in Lu Mengan's tone, as if "Source Code" was not much competitive in front of him, and he mentioned it slightly, to put it mildly. Many people vaguely remembered that before Su Li appeared, Lu Mengan was praised as the most talented young man in the entertainment industry.
Time has passed! People secretly slandered Lu Mengan's words in their hearts, but the reporters were secretly refreshed, feeling that the gossip about the discord between Lu Mengan and Su Li would instantly spread all over the sky, and they would not worry about having nothing to write.
Su Li was not invited to the premiere of "Walking Against the Light", and Su Li naturally did not need to attend. This kind of movie premiere is quite important, and many places are waiting for the premiere performance of "Walking Against the Light" to determine the scope of the film's theatrical screening.
Lu Mengan pointed out in front of the media and said that his eyebrows were flying, "Walking Against the Light" did take too much of their work, and he felt that after the release of this movie, whether it was a tense commercial atmosphere that made people's palms sweat, fierce and beautiful action scenes, or the plot rendering that made people's tear ducts develop, they could completely explode "Source Code".
This self-confidence from the bottom of his heart caused him to sit calmly, sitting at the front of everyone like a captain heading for the New World in the Age of Discovery, full of hope for success.
Then, the light and shadow of the big screen in front of him jumped, and the light and shadow exclusive to the charming movie flashed colorfully on the big screen. When the screenwriter appeared: Lu Meng'an, **, director: Lu Meng'an, starring: Lu Meng'an, he laughed quietly like a baby sucking breast milk.
The audience also watched with bated breath watching this so-called best cop movie after "Infernal Affairs", and their hearts were firmly tied to it. Domestic movies are often synonymous with cheating dads, claiming that only 20 million of the 200 million investment may be really used on movies, and what is known as the best film, in fact, it makes those audiences angry.
It's used to cheating, cheating, cheating, cheating, and cheating, but after all, everyone still has expectations for people like Lu Mengan, hoping that he can do what he says like Su Li, and it's best to say that it's best not to be negotiable.
The one-hour and thirty-one-minute screening time of "Walking Against the Light" passed quickly, and when the light on the big screen fell into a dead silence mischievously, Lu Mengan and his main creative staff stood in the front row.
The applause rang out, not sparsely but by no means overwhelming, more people are chewing the taste of this movie - it's really not good-looking, the plot of the movie from beginning to end is gradually becoming clear in everyone's entanglement, but to say that it is too good-looking, it is nonsense to say that it is the best police film after "Infernal Affairs".
"It's not a bad movie, but it's not a classic, in short, it can attract you to watch it, but you can't help but feel that it doesn't have so much flavor." An audience member faced the reporter's disgruntled microphone and organized the language, and the sentence was also said coherently.
Yes, this movie is also full of flavors: talking about action can make people's blood rush, and talking about friendship can also make people's noses feel as heavy and sour as if they have been poured vinegar...... But how do these factors come together and seem to be boring?
"Walking Against the Light" is about three scratching years that are played by Lu Meng'an, Fang Zuming, and Chen Bolin, one is in the police, one is in the gang, and the other is the intermediary who communicates and exchanges information between the two parties.
The one who betrayed the police later died, and went to the prison, where he could only live in a secret prison in the dark, leaving the middleman who witnessed everything, and discussed the surname, betrayal, and friendship through his eyes.
If you look at the ups and downs of the plot, this is a good movie, but from the perspective of the overall structure and control ability, this movie has lost the feeling of flowing water, just like using a basin to catch boiling water, and the water flow is big and small for a while and people can't figure it out and is scalded all over the body, this movie is really a little flawed.
Lu Mengan keenly heard the question in the audience's applause, and a trace of gloom passed through his heart.
Su Li didn't pay much attention to the premiere effect of "Walking Against the Light", he just captured some clues from Zhong Dajun's meticulous investigation of the materials. On April 10, "Walking Against the Light" officially began to be screened in Asia, and many things of success or failure are maintained on this day.
Although "Walking Against the Light" is more than one street away from the classicism that the creator said, the audience who has been poisoned by various bad movies to the point of resentment still feels that this is really a rare good movie recently, and the creator is also telling the story sincerely.
Therefore, the box office of "Walking Against the Light" soared to a relatively good number on the first day: the mainland box office was 10.13 million!
There are only a handful of movies with a box office of more than 10 million yuan, and it is considered the sky to have four or five films a year, and box office data such as "Walking Against the Light" announces that a domestic film with a box office of more than 100 million is about to be born.
This is very safe, and, from the current point of view, the reputation of "Walking Against the Light" is not too bad, and the score in time has reached 7.2, which is really commendable for domestic films.
Lu Mengan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this box office, the degree of poison of bad movies received by Chinese audiences and the resentment of hoping to see good movies are really beyond everyone's imagination, and suddenly such a movie that is not too good but has eye-catching stars and mature plots can appear, and everyone will not be stingy with a movie ticket money.
"Source Code...... I should be able to beat you this time. Lu Meng'an is very down-to-earth, all the previous worries are gradually disappearing now, and he can only fantasize about the box office of "Source Code" exceeding 100 million, but "Walking Against the Light" class is different.
"Not bad!" Su Li was discussing the development of the company with Zhong Dajun when he saw the box office of "Walking Against the Light" at the first time, to Zhong Dajun's surprise, he did not show half of his anxiety or uneasiness, Su Li's face was very calm, as smooth and indifferent as a windless lake.
Think about the star lineup of "Walking Against the Light", even those faces can pull millions of first day box office, not to mention, judging from the feedback from the outside, "Walking Against the Light" is a good shot. Su Li didn't need to worry about its box office at all, he was sure that the quality of his "Source Code" would be several grades higher than that of "Walking Against the Light".
""Walking Against the Light" flew high at the box office, and the market was not weak in April." A movie website rated "Against the Light" with striking colors.
Su Li lingered on the title for a moment and still didn't click on it, touched his chin playfully, and asked, "How was the media and film critics invited for the premiere?" ”
When it comes to company issues, Zhong Dajun is meticulous like a soldier who is about to go to the battlefield, he deliberately found documents and said to Su Li: "So far, 45 media have been invited, including five magazines and six newspapers, ......" After talking about the media and film critics, he finally concluded: "At present, "Walking Against the Light" has stolen some of our limelight, but everyone will not pay too much attention to "Source Code", and many people are still waiting for "Source Code" to be released. ”
The final phase of the publicity of Source Code was more or less influenced by Against the Light.
"Source Code" still used words like the battle between good and evil in the previous publicity, and everyone vaguely felt that this was also a movie involving police and bandit combat, and after watching "Walking Against the Light", I felt that this was the best police movie after "Infernal Affairs" was really disappointing, and many people also felt that "Source Code" would definitely be in cahoots with "Walking Against the Light".
In addition, "Walking Against the Light" stole some of the box office, which is a bloody collision between two films in April, and the opponent's increase in the box office is to a certain extent his own reduction in the box office, which is clearly carried out.
Under these factors, the premiere of "Source Code" is particularly important, and the premiere on April 12 is indeed a good choice if it can borrow the words of the media, the first-mover crowd, and film critics to correct the name of "Source Code". In fact, Su Li's expectations for this film have even gone beyond the scope of China, directly pointing to the sea of stars, conquering the domestic market is only the first step, and he is eager to take this first step.
Sure enough, what Su Li and Zhong Dajun expected immediately became a reality, and "Source Code" was quickly put on the table for some comparisons with "Walking Against the Light".
It's a bit unfair to make such a comparison in a two-step movie with different states, but people all have these hobbies, and when they see the word-of-mouth of "Walking Against the Light" barely skyrocketing at the box office, they begin to estimate what the premiere of "Source Code" will be.
A movie website pinned a post:
"Walking Against the Light" has a surprising reputation and box office, and this film has made a lot of progress compared to Lu Mengan's "Martyrdom in a Thousand Cities", but his grasp of the rhythm and camera really needs to be improved. In fact, a large part of the reason for this movie is ruined by his director. ”
"I'm looking forward to the release of "Source Code", compared to Lu Mengan, Su Li's brilliance in the past two years has been extremely brilliant, and he has almost never disappointed us. I'm more or less disappointed when I watch "Walking Against the Light", I don't know what will happen to "Source Code"? ”
There are different opinions about these two films, but they have been completely directly linked.
"The box office of "Walking Against the Light" has put huge pressure on "Source Code", and the two movies are life and death......"
"Judging from the current high-profile but not so good movie quality performance of "Walking Against the Light", "Source Code" may not be a good bird, and this movie that advertises science fiction may be rotten to the point of being a mess."
…… People are talking endlessly, and Su Li did not respond positively to the question of whether "Source Code" can beat "Source Code" at the box office, after all, Su Li feels that all this depends on strength to speak.
On April 12, the movie "Source Code", which was full of controversy, anticipation, concern and other emotions, finally held its premiere in Beijing!
On this day, there were quite a few people coming, and more than 500 people poured into the huge screening hall, and the scene was even a little chaotic, like a pot of messy porridge.
There are also a lot of people who came to attend the premiere today, dozens of people came from the media, some celebrities and media people came to cheer more than 100 people, in addition, there are more than 100 specially invited film critics, celebrities, etc., and the rest are pure audiences.
There was a lot of noise in the screening room, and the noisy sound erupted into strong decibels, and some of the people who predicted that the premiere of "Source Code" would be deserted were directly rejected here.
After more than 20 minutes, the chaotic scene finally changed, the discussion finally became quieter, and everyone found their own places, and then waited for the arrival of the master.
"Walking Against the Light" is one of the hottest topics recently, but that movie was released the day before yesterday, and whether "Source Code" can attract everyone's attention is not a topic that can be easily answered.
In the middle of the row in the screening room, Sun Bing, who had previously refused to premiere "Nightclub. The owner of the cinema was sitting on a stool with his cheeks puffed out, listening to the noise around him with disgust and thoughtful expressions from time to time.
"From the current point of view, the popularity of this movie will not be completely overshadowed by "Walking Against the Light" as some people predicted!" Sun Bing came up with such a speculation in his heart, and after listening to the voices of some people, he secretly said in his heart: "And there are still many people who support Su Li, anyway, this time we have to review it carefully to save problems." ”
There were not many bosses who came to the premiere like him, and they quietly cowered in a position that everyone was not aware of, and their ears and eyes were working tirelessly, not letting go of any relevant information around them.
"Source Code" and "Against the Light" will compete for a long time at the box office, and it's an indisputable fact that the release of these two films should be scheduled - for example, which movie should be allocated prime time...... It's all something they need to think about.
Today is the time to be able to identify these annoying choices, and they all quietly come to this premiere to come up with answers that satisfy them.
―――――― Suli saw the crowd of people through the window, and sighed a little: "The success of this movie is on their ideas." Unlike before, he has a lot of faith in Source Code.
Now not many people believe that "Source Code" can beat "Against the Light" at the box office and word of mouth, the key is that the sci-fi surname of "Source Code" has cast a layer of dust on everyone's confidence in this movie - doing science fiction in China is a thankless task!
―――――――― say some nonsense today.
First of all, I recommend a friend's book, "See the Helper", ISBN: 2159742, he asked me to write my own advertising words, then I will talk about my own opinion, this book is the head of the stream, some of the flavor of "The First Head in History", but it is more witty and relaxed, looking at the current appearance is to become a god.
Secondly, ask for some recommendation votes with everyone, and there are fewer and fewer recommendation votes, worrying!
Third,There's someone who writes about the same people.,For example, the feelings of the hero and heroine and something like that.,Send it in the book review area.,If it's well written.,The number of words can exceed 500 words, and even give a book review reward.,By the way, it's included in the book work.,Thank you for your support.。
In the end, it is pure disease-free moaning: tomorrow is the birth of the couple, and suddenly it feels like a knife...... Year after year flies so fast.
