Chapter 53: The mud can't hold up the wall

Although Wu Xiaofei deleted Weibo, the relevant screenshots have long been spread all over the sky, and the incident has not subsided, but has intensified.

Because Huanyu Film and Television had marketed "Dream Chaser" very well before, it found professionals in various circles to brag about this movie, which simply made Wu Xiaofei the leading figure among young directors in China.

Therefore, on the first day of the movie's release, many viewers walked into the cinema driven by curiosity, only to be disgusted by the bad movie.

They were already holding their breath, and when they saw the screenshots of Weibo circulating on the Internet, they were even more angry by Wu Xiaofei's remarks.

As time passed, more and more viewers flocked to Douban, wrote bad reviews for "Dream Chaser", and scored low by the way.

As a result, the movie's rating has been declining, from 9 o'clock in the morning, to 7 o'clock in the afternoon, and then to 4 o'clock in the afternoon, which can be called a plummeting decline.

In the face of tens of thousands of one-star reviews in the film review area, the water army can't play a role at all, no matter how many accounts they have, there is no way to control the reviews in this situation.

Corresponding to word-of-mouth, the box office of the movie also collapsed.

Obviously, the pre-sale box office is close to 10 million, and according to the past situation, the box office of 30 million on the first day should be possible, but the word of mouth collapsed too quickly.

The box office situation in the morning was fine, but in the afternoon, the box office growth slowed down sharply, and even when it was the golden viewing time from 5 to 10 o'clock, there was no improvement at all.

After twelve o'clock in the evening, the box office statistics of the first day of the release of "Dream Chaser" were released, and the single-day box office was only 20 million.

If you just look at this box office result, it may not be bad, but combined with the momentum before the release of the movie, coupled with the current situation that word of mouth has collapsed, the situation is very bleak.

Don't look at the box office of 20 million, but in the end, it can be distributed to the producer less than 8 million, if it continues like this, when will the cost of the film be recovered?

For this reason, Han Jianchuan, the distribution manager of Huanyu Film and Television, was so angry that he scolded Wu Xiaofei in his heart for being a pig teammate, if it weren't for the Weibo he posted, which aroused the emotions of the audience, it would not have become like this.

can be scolded and scolded, things have already happened, and we can only try our best to make up for it.

Han Jianchuan didn't sleep all night, and was busy cleaning up the mess for Wu Xiaofei all night, on the one hand, he asked the water army to try his best to brush up the scores, and on the other hand, he was contacting the theater side, wanting to keep the film schedule rate of "Dream Chaser" by giving the theater rebate.

But the theater side is not stupid, the things on Douban and Weibo have long been spread, everyone knows that the reputation of "Dream Chaser" is stinky, even if Huanyu takes the initiative to reduce the share ratio and is willing to give profits to the theater, but in this case, no theater will agree.

What kind of joke is it to give the film to "Dream Chaser", which has collapsed in word-of-mouth?

It's summer now, and the attendance rate of several blockbusters is not bad, isn't it good to assign the film schedule to them? As for the life and death of "Dream Chaser", then Huanyu can only ask for more blessings, who made this a bad movie?

So on this night, no matter how Han Jianchuan promised, many theaters, large and small, made urgent adjustments, almost cut half of the film schedule of "Dream Chaser", and arranged these screenings to other movies.

……

At 10 a.m. the next day, in the small county town of Sichuan Province.

Fang Bo woke up from his sleep, sat up and stretched.

I wrote the script late last night, so I simply slept in a lazy sleep today, and slept until now.

After getting dressed and going to the bathroom to wash up, I finally drove away the sleepiness.

He walked to the living room, where his parents had already gone out to open the shop, and breakfast was left for him at the table.

Although the soy milk and fritters were cold, the weather was so hot that it tasted just right, Fang Bo took out his mobile phone while eating breakfast.

Yesterday's release of "Dream Chaser" was very popular on the Internet, and he naturally heard about it, so while he was having breakfast, he curiously clicked on the beans and a half, wanting to see what the situation was now.

As soon as he entered the page of "Dream Chaser", the rating number of 3.7 came into his eyes.

Fang Bo raised his eyebrows, it was still 4 o'clock last night, but he didn't expect that the night had passed, and it actually fell below 4 points.

In Douban, the movies with this score are already the worst, and looking at it like this, the score continues to decline.

The page clearly shows that nearly 70,000 people gave reviews, but only 4 percent gave the movie five stars, 15 percent in the middle, and the remaining 81 percent of the audience only gave two or one star ratings.

Among all the rated movies in Douban, the 3.7 score is only higher than one percent of the feature films, which shows how bad this movie is.

However, with this result, Wu Xiaofei also suffered by himself.

Fang Bo's fingers swiped across the screen, scrolling down to the movie review area, and he could see that all of them were negative reviews with one star.

"When I'm old, I can proudly say to my son, your father watched a super bad movie back then, and he lasted 3 minutes, and your father is definitely not the man your mother said only 3 seconds!"

"A big bad movie, but it was blown into the sky by so many professionals, how much money did Wu Xiaofei stuff them to make them refer to the deer as horses and talk nonsense with their eyes open?"

"I give a star, not for anything else, just to contribute to the purification of the film industry!"

"The movies have been made like this, and Director Wu proudly said how much effort he spent in it, it seems that his artistic attainments are really not very good, and he can't even tell the quality of a movie."

"Everyone remember Wu Xiaofei's name, and in the future, all movies that have anything to do with him must stay away."

“……”

Otherwise, how to say that netizens are talented, many movie reviews can't help but want to laugh.

There are nearly 30,000 comments in the film review area, most of which are bad reviews, which can make so many audiences complain about the same movie together, in some ways, Wu Xiaofei is also a talent, at least other directors can't do this.

After briefly flipping through the film reviews of "Dream Chaser", Fang Bo shook his head and smiled, put away his mobile phone, and didn't continue to pay attention.

In the final analysis, this is also Wu Xiaofei's own evil fruit, he will neither gloat, but also will not give birth to the feeling of hurting things.

Just take a look, instead of paying more attention to "Dream Chaser", it is better to seize the time to perfect the script of the next movie.

After eating the fritters and drinking the remaining soy milk in one gulp, Fang Bo stood up, cleaned up the table, and returned to the room to continue writing the script.

……

This afternoon, the rating of "Dream Chaser" finally slowed down, and after an afternoon, it was still 3.4 points.

Of course, this is also normal, after all, the number of people who gave evaluations reached as many as 70,000, and the base is too large, so it takes a lot of people for every 0.1 point drop, and the reputation of the movie is already stinky, and there are not many new audiences who have the courage to watch it.

At the end of the second day of release, the single-day box office of "Dream Chaser" plummeted from 20 million yesterday to 5 million, which can be called a cliff-like decline.

Seeing that the movie's attendance rate and reputation are outrageously low, the theater side has further reduced the film schedule, and it is conceivable that the single-day box office on the third day will most likely continue to fall.

In such a situation, Han Jianchuan, who has been in the industry for many years and has rich experience, has no choice, and all kinds of methods such as boasting about building momentum, water army control and evaluation, and theater rebates have been exhausted, but the mud of "Dream Chaser" can't support the wall, and it still can't save the decline.

Seeing this, Xu Dong, the president of Huanyu Film and Television, also gave up, so he had to stop the loss in time and no longer invest funds in it.
