Chapter 397: Day of Humiliation
August 16.
For the Chinese film industry, it is definitely a silent day.
The highly anticipated "Infernal Affairs" went from 27 million at the box office to more than 20 million at the box office.
Although he had been prepared, this huge gap undoubtedly gave everyone in Huaxing a hard blow.
Five days after its release, although the box office was close to 140 million, it was still a milestone for Chinese films, but it was hopeless to reach the top of 700 million.
The premiere of "Superman 2" was close to 50 million yuan at the box office!
The ticket price is twice that of "Infernal Affairs", and the premiere schedule is even more full when the three movies "Night Walker", "Our Motherland", and "Infernal Affairs" are hot, and it is a Hollywood 3D movie, and the defeat of "Infernal Affairs" seems to be reasonable in itself.
At the same time as the box office was announced.
The official website of the Huaxia Film Association announced the director of "Superman 2". A few videos of Lee's lecture on "Talking about 3D Movies" at the venue.
[There is a fundamental difference between Hollywood and Chinese films. Li's lecture made me pause, and I learned a lot of advanced knowledge of Western industrial films] from director Shen Jinsong.
[If you fall behind, you will be beaten, any strengths are worth learning, we must first know ourselves, in order to make better progress, the lecture has indeed benefited a lot, I am very grateful to James. Mr. Li can answer our questions ......] from director Cao Bangguo.
[The Chinese film industry should be reformed, you can't just make those literary films, award-winning movies, in the context of the times, commercial films will always be the mainstream, as directors, we should move closer to the mainstream, the special effects of "Superman 2" are too shocking, this lecture, after listening, I realized my own shortcomings......] from director Zhang Min.
[There are too many people in the venue, we are standing in the aisle......] from actor Lu Zitao.
【……】
Under the video, the messages of famous Chinese directors or celebrities in the Chinese entertainment industry are pinned, and each message is extremely respected or highly sought after.
After reading these messages, you unconsciously feel the authority of this lecture and the superiority of the participants, as if this "lecture" is a palace-level film event.
At three o'clock in the morning.
"James. The title of "Li Qian's Talk about 3D Movies" was hung on the hot search on Weibo, and it was rarely pinned to the top of the homepage, with the word "explosive".
Naturally, there are many supporters of veteran directors......
Countless film critics rushed up and began to comment on this concert, and they all felt that it was a very "inclusive", "open to Chinese films", "a collision, exchange and learning between Chinese and Western films", and even words such as "mastering Yi's skills to control Yi" appeared.
Click on Weibo and swipe to the relevant titles of "movies", and a large number of movies are all boasting about the shocking special effects of "Superman 2" and James. After seeing a large number of filmmakers boasting about the significance of this "lecture" to Chinese films and the positive effect of "Superman 2" on the international film industry, netizens who don't know the truth began to deviate under the rhythm of the water army......
[Although "Infernal Affairs" cannot represent the hope of Chinese films, although there is no provision that Hollywood movies cannot be released in August, the appearance of "Superman" is undoubtedly too purposeful! ] Look at what our "seniors" of the Directors Association are doing, until now, they are still kneeling and licking the buttocks of foreign adults, this lecture has been blown to the sky, why can't you stand up, right? 】
Four o'clock in the morning.
Feng Kai, who had insomnia, really couldn't hold back this bad breath, and finally issued such a series of scolding on Weibo very irrationally.
After scolding, he was scolded back by countless people in an instant.
The screen is full of "small belly chicken intestines", "What's wrong with the release of "Superman 2"? Isn't it the domestic film protection month, has there been five days of box office time left for "Infernal Affairs"? "Chinese movies need a hundred flowers to bloom, I admit that "Infernal Affairs" is excellent, but is it so difficult to admit that the special effects of "Superman 2" are excellent?" "Huaxia is just a monopoly of you directors with small belly chicken intestines, so that Huaxia films are not progressing" "The old school, it hurts, right?" It's good to be beaten and hurt, and you can progress! "What's the dog called?" Your master Zhou Yang didn't speak, what are you barking at? ”
After Feng Kai saw the countless comments below, his whole person was almost hurt by anger.
The whole Weibo is like a dung pit.
After calming down, Feng Kai frowned and realized that all of this seemed to be quite premeditated, as if a pair of invisible hands were gripping them tightly, catching them off guard, making them breathless.
But the only thing to be thankful for is that these scoldings did not last for more than an hour, and a large group of Zhou Yang's fans rushed into the comment area under his Weibo and scolded the gang.
"You're a bunch of dogs!" "As soon as "Infernal Affairs" was released, "Superman 2" appeared, what the hell is this special sniping" "Deliberately disgusting, right? "What's going on with the relevant departments, inaction?" "Compared with Hollywood 3D blockbusters, literary movies are not advantageous in themselves, right?" "A foul-smelling bunch of manhole ......"
…………………………
On the morning of August 16, Weibo was very lively.
Click in, or Zhou Yang's fans are scolding.
scolded those veteran directors in China, scolded "Superman 2", scolded James. Plum......
Traitor, traitor, shameless, treason......
All such ugly words and scolding were scolded.
Brainless, stupid, uneducated, no pattern at all, your Zhou Yang is so embarrassed that he has thrown it internationally......
Either the fans who defend "Superman 2" and the fans of the water army film critics are scolding Zhou Yang, and all kinds of ugly words come one after another.
The whole Weibo became a mess.
Under this huge heat, the Weibo server has become stuck again!
"Damn!"
"This person's fans are too strong in combat!"
"Hurry up and use those rented servers!"
"Good!"
"The server is down again...... Let's rent a few more. ”
"Okay!"
"It's good that this person didn't speak, if this person posted on Weibo, I guess the server will have to come again......"
"How many fans does this person have?"
"Two million and four million!"
"God, it's all real powder!"
"yes!"
It's very lively on Weibo.
But Weibo's backstage staff were busy, and Weibo engineer Dai Gaogang had just attended a friend's wedding not long after the server was paralyzed.
After finally getting the server right, replacing the spare server capacity, and letting Weibo's official referee carry out various bans and various cooling treatments, Weibo finally returned to normal.
Dai Gao breathed a long sigh of relief, looking at the 2.4 million fans on Zhou Yang's Weibo, he was a little happy.
"About 60 percent of Weibo's active users have participated in this scolding war......"
When the database colleague who was busy sweating behind him let out such an emotion, Dai Gao's face could not hide his shock.
They never imagined that a star would have such an amazing amount of traffic.
This shock did not last long later, they heard the person in charge of the technical department in the distance, manager Xu Changhong, hurriedly running over, with a bit of solemnity on his face.
"It's a call from above, and everyone is working overtime at noon today!"
…………………………
April 17.
The box office of "Superman 2" reached a staggering 53 million yuan.
The daily box office of 48 million yuan on the first day, plus the box office of 53 million yuan on the second day, the box office exceeded 100 million yuan in two days!
shocked the entire Chinese film industry and made countless Chinese filmmakers gasp!
How much is "Infernal Affairs"?
On the sixth day of its release, the box office fell to 16 million!
That's four million from before!
Even the daily box office of "Night Walker" is 14 million!
Coming to a flat ......
Perhaps, the data of 16 million is a good data for other movies, but for "Infernal Affairs", it is a disaster.
It's not the movie's problem, it's not the actor's problem, it's not the fans' problem......
"Infernal Affairs", as the most promising literary film in China, was crushed by the Hollywood 3D blockbuster "Superman 2", and lost the hope of reaching the top, which seems to be an established fact.
Can't beat it!
I can't beat it!
The scolding war on Weibo is still continuing, but under the official control and cooling, the scolding war is much less heated.
In addition to being shocked by the box office number of "Superman 2", netizens were also shocked by Zhou Yang's Weibo fans.
In the three days since the opening of Weibo, the number of Weibo fans has exceeded 3 million, and it is still making great progress.
In three days, the popularity list is the first! No. 1 on the hot list! No. 1 in the number of followers......
Countless firsts made netizens realize who is the well-deserved top class in Huaxia, and also made Lu Zitao, the new star of the EXC group, a marginal figure.
"Why didn't Zhou Yang react?"
"yes!"
"What's wrong with Zhou Yang? It's normal not to attend the so-called lecture, but at this time, you should say something, right? ”
"It seems that Zhou Yang is in the United States!"
"What is he doing in Lao Mei?"
"Isn't Lao Mei's "Infernal Affairs" going to be painted? He seems to be communicating with Lao Mei, hoping to schedule more films for "Infernal Affairs"? ”
"Forget it, you have been bullied like this by "Superman 2" in your own territory in Huaxia, you are in the United States, isn't this going to grovel?"
“……”
"I've asked Huaxing official, Huaxing official, Zhou Yang's agent Xu Mei can't contact Zhou Yang!"
"Why don't you take Xu Mei to Laomei?"
"I don't know...... It seems that it is inconvenient to let Xu Mei deal with the affairs of Huaxia, ......"
"He went to Lao Mei alone?"
"Yes!"
"The latest news, the overseas "Infernal Affairs" has all been painted, and the total box office is only $1.3 million!"
"So low?"
"Yes, overseas publicity can't keep up, and the film schedule can't keep up with ......"
"This ......"
on the web.
Netizens are talking.
But no one knows what Zhou Yang did in Laomei, only that the overseas version of "Infernal Affairs" has been painted.
The box office was poor, only $1.3 million!
After seeing this data, Zhou Yang's fans felt very uncomfortable, almost humiliating data!
Just when everyone is feeling depressed......
Huaxing's official Weibo suddenly announced another piece of news without warning.
"Surpassing "Chainsaw", the overseas version of "Infernal Affairs" and "The Departed" broke $6 million at the box office at its premiere, breaking the export film record!"
