Chapter 300: Rave reviews

Counting today, Gu Cancan has been mobilized for three days.

The first day was okay, Gu Cancan only felt a little unwell, as if he had a cold, and the coccyx of his spine was slightly hot.

The next day, I felt like I had a bad cold, and my bones began to ache.

Today is the third day, Gu Cancan feels as if his bones are rusty, he is not comfortable lying down all the time, and he is not comfortable moving, no matter how he moves, it is uncomfortable.

After asking the doctor, the doctor looked at Gu Cancan sympathetically, saying that the reaction to the mobilization injection varies from person to person, Gu Cancan's feeling is stronger than most people, but it is also within the normal range, so he can only endure it, and if he can't do it, he will take a painkiller.

"You said that the total box office of "Buried Alive" on the premiere day was 3.66 million?" Gu Cancan was standing next to the hospital bed, moving his body very slowly.

"yes, a little better than expected." Jiang Meiying wanted to reach out to support Gu Cancan, but was stopped by Gu Cancan.

"Well, I really didn't expect that if I could maintain the box office situation for another three days, I would increase the publicity of "Buried Alive". Gu Cancan actually has no expectations for the box office of "Buried Alive", this movie is a literary film, and now it is not as good as the film market in 10 years, a literary film can reach a box office of 500 million after marketing, and now the audience's acceptance of literary films is very low.

Of course, the main thing is that "Buried Alive" has already recovered its costs in foreign markets and made a fortune, although it is not much, but there are three or four million, and Gu Cancan is already very satisfied. So relatively speaking, the domestic box office is pure earning, nothing more than earning more and earning less.

Under such a premise, Gu Cancan did not have time to carry out the publicity activities of "Buried Alive", and the Bright Times only invested in the basic publicity methods of "Buried Alive", advertised on the official website and Weibo, and conducted two screenings in advance, and it was officially released.

However, the box office on the first day can reach more than three million, which is obviously excellent, if it can be maintained for a week, maybe the total box office can reach 20 million, and this film can be said to be a big hit, after all, the total cost of shooting did not exceed one million.

After moving a few times, Gu Cancan couldn't help but have a bitter face, now all the bones in her body seemed to be swollen and painful, and she didn't move or move, which made her fidget.

Jiang Meiying looked at Gu Cancan in distress, she didn't expect to be so guilty of donating hematopoietic stem cells: "Cancan, are you very uncomfortable?" ”

Gu Cancan couldn't help but touch the spine with her backhand, the feeling of the spine was the strongest, and she felt that the bones were beating as if they were about to break out of her body, and there was nothing unusual to touch that day, she frowned and nodded, "The doctor said that my reaction was more violent, but it was also a normal phenomenon, and it was over after two days." If it weren't for my violent reaction, I wouldn't have had to stay in the hospital all the time. ”

"No wonder they say that donating bone marrow and hematopoietic stem cells is a great thing."

"I don't think it's a little uncomfortable compared to being able to save a life." Gu Cancan shook his head and continued: "Forget it, Sister Meiying, you have worked hard in the past two days, tracking the real-time data of "Buried Alive", yesterday's box office may be the support of Wang Qianyuan or my fans, and today's and tomorrow's data is the key." What is the rating of reviews online? ”

"Very good. Probably because "Buried Alive" has no large-scale publicity, and literary films are not a threat to commercial films, and now the people who evaluate "Buried Alive" are basically real audiences. The Douban movie score is 8.2, which is a very good score. When it comes to the evaluation of "Buried Alive", Jiang Meiying is very satisfied.

Gu Cancan also nodded with satisfaction: "I haven't worried about word-of-mouth, and the follow-up publicity can tilt the focus to word-of-mouth." Now it seems that we can probably expect a very good result. ”

"Maybe it can really reach 20 million." Jiang Meiying couldn't hide her admiration when she looked at Gu Cancan's eyes, just a movie shot in less than a month, with a total investment of only 1 million, can also achieve such results, Gu Cancan's directorial talent is undoubted, it is really God's food.

Jiang Meiying had just left, Wang Xiaoxiao came again, and she would come to stay with Gu Cancan for two hours every day.

Wang Xiaoxiao's arrival made Gu Cancan very happy.

"I brought you your favorite fried dumplings." Wang Xiaoxiao carefully walked in with a food box.

Gu Cancan's expression was very happy, donating hematopoietic stem cells did not need to control her diet, but the nutritious meal she ate in the hospital at night was extremely light, and when she saw the fried dumplings with all the color and flavor, she couldn't help but feel a lot of appetite, and the pain in her body felt much lighter.

"Does it still hurt today?" Wang Xiaoxiao watched Gu Cancan gobble up, and her heart became happy.

"It's fine." Gu Cancan didn't say much, and telling Wang Xiaoxiao didn't alleviate the physical pain, but made her worry.

The smell of fried dumplings wafted in the room, and Wang Xiaoxiao got up and opened the window with a small slit to dissipate the smell.

"Xiaoxiao, how are you feeling at work lately?" Gu Cancan asked while eating fried dumplings.

Wang Xiaoxiao smiled at Gu Cancan's charming smile: "It's quite smooth, they were a little resistant to me at first, but after working together for more than half a month, the situation has changed a lot." ”

She came to the bright era is in an important position, and it is certain that some people are not convinced, but Gu Cancan is not too worried, she still understands Wang Xiaoxiao's ability, although she only graduated from the bachelor's degree and did not further study, but she is different from herself, her genius is based on rebirth, and Wang Xiaoxiao is a real genius in the operation of financial capital.

Wang Xiaoxiao continued: "This morning, I met with Zhang Sijian, Managing Director of Hongshan Capital, and Zhao Hongxia, Investment Director of Dachen Venture Capital, in the afternoon, both of whom are very interested in the financing of our bright era. I plan to engage in further contacts and negotiations with them. ”

Gu Cancan didn't know much about financing, but she trusted Wang Xiaoxiao and believed that Wang Xiaoxiao would complete the financing very perfectly, and said indifferently: "Well, Xiaoxiao, you are responsible, don't care too much about these capitals, if the other party is arrogant, kick them aside." ”

"Hehe, how can a mature investor make such a low-level mistake." Wang Xiaoxiao smiled and shook her head.

"Also, those who invest are human elites, and those who are not human elites have long gone bankrupt." Gu Cancan said with a smile.

Wang Xiaoxiao nodded, looked around and said, "When did the reporter who has been following and filming for the past two days left?" ”

"I left a long time ago, and I came here for a while this morning, and there was nothing to shoot in the process of mobilizing the injection, but I was waiting after the shot. Xiaoxiao, I just saw a dress on the Internet and think it suits you perfectly. Gu Cancan's topic jumped to clothing.

"I'll look at what style, my figure picks clothes, unlike your tall and everything suits."

"Who said that I can't wear low-cut clothes, people think it's a women's clothing boss when they see it, hahaha."

Harvest a smiling white eye.

The two chatted endlessly, chatting and chatting, Gu's mother Wang Sufen came to the hospital.

Although Gu Cancan felt that it was not necessary, Wang Sufen, who was bursting with maternal love, had insisted on accompanying the bed at night for the past few days, and when she couldn't be persuaded to move, Gu Cancan would follow her mother, anyway, the VIP ward looked like a hotel, and it was quite comfortable.

Wang Sufen came, and Wang Xiaoxiao stayed for a while before leaving.

The mother and daughter chatted for a while, and Wang Sufen was very tired from being busy with the future reconciliation during the day, and soon fell asleep.

The room was quiet, and the bone pain that had been ignored because of the chat began to surface again, Gu Cancan couldn't sleep comfortably after tossing and turning, so he simply picked up his mobile phone and flipped through the comments on the Internet about "Buried Alive".

"This movie is so "wow", it's not a horror movie, but it also makes people sweat. I really didn't expect Gu Cancan to make such a movie. It's so depressing, just imagine, bury you alive in a coffin a few meters above the ground, give you a mobile phone and a ZIPPO, what will you do? Struggle, anger, whining, fear, despair, what's after that? The part where the actor calls his mother is embarrassing, and there are a lot of things to think about.

Reality is cruel after all, confidence and oxygen are the same, a little bit is consumed, just like a game that can't be beaten, and in the end I still have to abandon all hope, I think the ending is particularly well filmed~

Finally, no matter how democratic a country is, the tone of the words spoken by the "relevant departments" sounds similar.

It's not easy for us to live, so let's cherish it. ”

"Gu Cancan can really save money, what's the matter? Running out of money in the Bright Times? I can shoot this movie with my mobile phone, one actor, one scene to the end. ”

"Actually, I still had a little hope until the end. Seeing that the relevant departments came to save the protagonist, his wife finally called to tell the protagonist that she loved him, even the background music became majestic, and the main theme of fighting alone finally returned to the tune of HE, and the director still failed to abuse to the end, and the director still chose the healing department.

Outcome......

Gu Cancan, it's too bad, it's too bad, it's too bad! ”

"I have always liked this kind of small-cost production, smart and witty, concentrated, and the disadvantages are obvious and the advantages are also invisibly magnified. The cost of this film is estimated to be even smaller, this film is Ryan alone from beginning to end, and the rest of the characters are expressed through the voice in the mobile phone, the photography is excellent, Gu Cancan is a girl after all, and her control over the advancement of the plot is average, and she is a little sleepy halfway through watching. But many times you will feel depressed chest tightness, after all, this space is too small, you can't help but empathize, I like this extremely black humorous nonsense ending, a movie worth going to the cinema to watch, I don't spoil, watch it yourself! ”

Compared with the sheer indignation of the audience, the critics seem to be a little more sensible.

The famous film critic Shi Hang also went to see "Buried Alive", from the perspective of a film critic, Shi Hang felt that the death of the protagonist in the end was the finishing touch and the biggest highlight of this film!

If the protagonist didn't die and was finally saved, then the quality of the film would have at least been discounted, but the protagonist died, which sublimated the film.

And the highlights are not only that, in Shi Hang's view, after the desperate ending, the cheerful soundtrack is also a huge highlight.

is such a movie full of despair, and the ending song is so brisk, which gives this film a different kind of sublimation.

The film ends, but the journey of despair has just begun.

After Shi Hang watched the movie, he rushed out a film review overnight.

"Absolutely ultra-low-budget movies, 1 actor, 1 scene, not even a scene with blue sky and white clouds in my mind, and there are not many lights, often a large area of darkness, only gasping can be heard.

The plot of the story is simple, an American who works as a truck driver in Iraq (Chinese Americans are Americans), is kidnapped and held hostage by Iraqis, forced to ask the US government for ransom, and the robbers put him in a coffin made of improvised wooden planks and buried him in the ground...... The film of more than 1 hour is all in that small coffin where I can't hold it anymore. The cruelty of this story lies in the fact that you keep giving a little new hope, and then you keep spilling it out, and you are constantly experiencing mental and physical torture.

The end of the story is the climax. In the mobile phone,My wife talked to me,The Chinese embassy promised to do its best to help him,The mobile phone came out with the shouts of the rescued American soldiers,Everything made me, who had been depressed for more than 1 hour,Almost released,The hero is about to be rescued! However, with a cry: IAMSORRY! It's back to the sand that keeps flowing into the coffin! The American GIs, who claim not to give up every American, have dug the wrong coffin!

Is this a very ironic ending? No! It's a very real, very heavy ending!

In fact, it has been hinted from the beginning of this film, the ending of the protagonist, what is the coffin used for?

And the protagonist is still a Chinese-American.

However, the most unique thing about the film is that it does not tell the clichΓ©d inspirational story of how a person in a desperate situation uses his spirit of self-improvement to successfully save himself, but tells us a story that is still lonely and desperate in nature through Jack's death at the end.

"Crisis of confidence". It's a word that keeps popping up in my head while watching the movie.

My takeaway: no one can be trusted. How to believe that your madness isn't a damn prank, or drunken gibberish? Is there anyone in your life who can trust you unconditionally?

We speculate about the dark side of those in power, but we are full of thirst for national power. The state protects the right to life of every citizen, and the political wheels crush more than one person. It is not known exactly where the scales are tilting, and it is useless to say more.

When the ending song plays, the light-hearted melody seems to flip a switch, and despair is finally vented. For life, for humanity, for politics, and why? For the unknown people who died in silence.

Finally, I complained that Gu Cancan actually put such a light tune at the end of this desperate movie.

"Buried Alive" unexpectedly received praise from many film critics.

Through various angles, this low-budget movie, with only one person and one scene, has been interpreted into many things.

And many Chinese netizens, while complaining about the movie to curry favor with the government, are also laughing at those Chinese people who yearn for freedom and equality in the United States.

Do Chinese people experience less discrimination abroad? Is there less unfair and unjust treatment? But there are still so many people who want to go abroad one after another.

Seeing this, Gu Cancan was also a little speechless, God is pitiful, he definitely didn't think about it so much.
