Chapter 198: Explosive word-of-mouth

After Xu Mo bought a drink, he entered the cinema.

He sat more front, in the third row.

As soon as he sat down, he heard someone calling out to him.

"Mr. Xu, it's really you."

Xu Mo turned his head and saw a man who was a little familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was.

It should be that there are not many meetings.

"Film critic, Yan Yu." Yan Yu said with a smile, "Two months ago, your movie was released and I was invited. ”

"Long time no see." Xu Mo also smiled and asked, "You were invited by Penguin Film and Television today?" ”

"Yes, I just didn't expect to meet Mr. Xu." Yan Yu said, "With the relationship between Longteng Entertainment and Xingdong Entertainment, I thought you wouldn't come." ”

"There is nothing unexpected, the so-called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will win all battles." Xu Mo said indifferently.

"That's right."

Yan Yu sat down beside him and said, "Penguin Film and Television Plus Star Entertainment, I'm also curious about the quality." ”

"Do you fancy them?" Xu Mo asked.

"Not very promising."

Yan Yu said honestly, "If you change the theme, such as the comedy that Song Yu is good at, I think there is a drama, but the sci-fi of Daxia, you know, is difficult to say." ”

"Indeed."

Xu Mo found someone who agreed, and his mood improved a lot.

Since the success of Song Yu's "People in Embarrassment" and "Exploration of Chinatown", most people think that Song Yu is good at comedy.

At most, add an idol drama and a martial arts drama.

But science fiction, before Song Yu, there were too many filmmakers who wanted to do it but failed.

There is no reason why this twenty-year-old will succeed.

The two of them chatted quietly for a while longer, until the big screen lit up.

Because it is dominated by Penguin Film and Television, the beginning of the film is a cute penguin, followed by the icon of Xingdong Entertainment.

"I heard that Xingdong Entertainment invested one-third, is it true?" Yan Yu asked.

Investing in this kind of thing is more confidential.

The average person doesn't know about it.

And Penguin Films and Xingdong Entertainment have not promoted it.

"It's true." Xu Mo said.

As the senior management of Longteng Entertainment, it is relatively simple to inquire about these news.

"Sure enough, he is young and vigorous."

Yan Yu shook his head and said, "If I were Song Yu, it would be enough to just get the actor's salary and the screenwriter's share, without any risk, no matter what the box office is, I will get the money I should get." ”

Xu Mo said secretly, so you are not Song Yu.

He had studied the young man, and he was bold and precise, as if he could see into the future.

Therefore, he always has an ominous premonition about "The Matrix", and he is afraid that something will happen.

The movie intro ends, and the official picture begins.

The battle between the heroine and the agent.

Xu Mo raised his eyebrows.

Truth be told, the shooting is good, the action design is top-notch, and it looks really cool.

But where is the sci-fi?

After the end of the war, it turned to the male protagonist.

He's actually a hacker.

Xu Mo knows why the title of the film is called "The Matrix".

"Is it a virtual reality game that has been popular lately?" Yan Yu said suddenly.

The so-called virtual reality game is probably the entry of consciousness into the game.

For example, Sword Art Online.

Xu Mo and Yan Yu thought at this time that the sci-fi part of "The Matrix" lies in the male protagonist entering the online world through technology.

The male protagonist was quickly caught by the agents.

During the interrogation, the agent waved his hand and sealed the male protagonist's mouth.

And this plot almost made Xu Mo laugh.

Science fiction turned into magic.

Young.

"What is this?"

Yan Yu was also puzzled.

Seal the mouth, not with tape or any other tool, but with two lips that melt directly together.

Although science fiction is science fiction, your fantasy is no longer in the category of science.

The male protagonist soon met Moffett.

Classic scenes appear.

Blue pills and red pills.

If the former eats, he can forget everything and continue to live happily.

If you eat the latter, you will see the real world.

The male protagonist took the red pill.

The body in the mother's womb dissolves and awakens from reality.

Countless nutrition pods appeared in front of the audience.

At this time, many people finally understood the original story and showed surprised and shocked expressions.

"I see!" Yan Yu suddenly raised his voice.

Xu Mo didn't speak, he only felt that the drink tasted bad.

The scene just now can be described as full of special effects.

Of course, the special effects are secondary, the important thing is that the plot has taken a big reversal.

And it's not obtrusive.

Everything that went before was completely explained.

After that, after the male protagonist knew the truth of the world, he began to learn martial arts with Moffett.

Because they are in the mother's body, these martial arts also look very magical.

At least it attracted the audience.

Xu Mo looked at the reactions around him, and a sense of powerlessness appeared in his heart.

Up to now, "The Matrix" is quite a qualified science fiction film.

He could only pray that there would be a commotion in the future.

But no.

The excitement has just begun.

The rebels have come out of the traitors.

After the male protagonist saw the prophet, he was attacked by agents.

Eventually, Moffett was caught.

In order to save him, the male protagonist and the female protagonist broke in together to fight a decisive battle with the agents.

This shootout and fight scene can be described as full, and it is a classic use of bullet time.

The male protagonist was defeated by the agent, but he was rescued by the female protagonist, and he suddenly hung up, and the mother became a code in his eyes, and finally defeated the agent.

The movie ends.

"Song Yu is afraid that he has made a great movie." Yan Yu took a deep breath and said.

"......" Xu Mo didn't want to speak.

"There should be easter eggs." Yan Yu looked around, and everyone didn't leave.

The reason is simple, there are too many unsolved mysteries.

For example, prophets.

Another example is why the male protagonist suddenly opened.

But easter eggs are easter eggs, which can make almost everyone stay and wait, which also means that the first part conquered them.

A strong sense of crisis surged in Xu Mo's heart.

His only thought now is to get "No Way Home" out of the show.

Because if you run into "The Matrix", you will really lose all your money.

But he also understands that it is too late.

The time is too short.

And ungearing loses even more things.

For example, offending the cinema or losing the audience's popularity does not meet the regulations of the Literary Association.

"Sure enough, the easter egg is talking about the second part."

Yan Yu said with emotion, "It's amazing, such a big investment, before the results are out, I dare to plan a sequel." ”

If it were him, he wouldn't dare.

He will think about whether he will return to his roots for the first time, instead of thinking about the plot of the next part.

Xu Mo looked at "The Matrix 2: Reloaded" on the big screen and didn't know what to say.

The ambition that can't be hidden is already about to come out.

Song Yu wants to be the pioneer of Daxia science fiction movies.

Once successful, he will inevitably gain a foothold in the film.

And now it's just one step away from success.

As long as "The Matrix" is officially released, as long as the market responds well...... The result is absolutely unacceptable for Longteng Entertainment.

"Mr. Xu, I'll go first."

Yan Yu was a little gloating at this time.

He understood Xu Mo's discomfort, after all, his face turned blue.

But he's a film critic, and it's still quite interesting to see this scene.

Xu Mo hurriedly left the cinema.

A huge crisis is in front of Longteng Entertainment and Summit Entertainment.

How to deal with it.

He couldn't think of a way for a while.

The first film premieres at seven p.m. and ends at half past ten.

In less than ten minutes, the first hot search has been arranged.

Among them, of course, is the operation of Penguin Films.

The hot search it bought is very simple.

[The Matrix has a score of 9.9 points.] 】

When the movie is released, Skynet Movie, as a professional movie software, will be open for scoring.

Anyone who has purchased a movie ticket can rate it.

"The Matrix" is a screening, but it can be regarded as a release, so the rating is open.

At this time, the rating is an astonishing 9.9 points.

"Crazy, right? A 9.9-point sci-fi movie, did Penguin Films buy a water army? ”

"I suspect that all the people watching the screening are Song Yu fans, if so, 9.9 points is normal."

"9.9 points, can you fake it a little more? If it's true, I'm going to broadcast my second brother and the electric fan dry frame. ”

When the hot search first came out, the comments at the bottom were all one-sided and unbelievable.

The wind review reversal is a film critic's article half an hour later.

There are no bad reviews, and they blow up the sky.

It's like Penguin Films stuffed them with money, and it was a big price.

In addition to film critics, lucky viewers also came out to speak.

"A real sci-fi blockbuster!"

"Brother Yu, eternal god!"

"I regret it for a lifetime if I miss it, it's really good to see the explosion!"

But because the exaggeration is too much, most people are skeptical.

Fortunately, it will be released worldwide in a few days.

Whether it is true or false, it will all show its original form.

Weekend.

When "The Matrix" was in a hot boil, the second episode of "The Masked Singer" was launched.

Wen Rensi once again won the championship with "You at the Same Table".

After the end, netizens jokingly said that the red rose was taken away by the song again.

In fact, that's exactly what happened.

The existence of Song Yu made the other contestants of "The Masked Singer" have a strong sense of crisis.

Fortunately, Wen Rensi's strength is not as good as Song Yu.

Otherwise, it may be a repeat of the situation in the first season.

New Monday.

Song Yu received a new competition theme for "The Masked Singer".

Ballad.

To be honest, it's a bit dangerous.

Ballads are usually plain and simple.

But the more this happens, the harder it is to shine.

In the first round, Wenren's thoughts want to break through, which is relatively suspenseful.

However, Song Yu did not interfere.

If you rely on him for everything, you won't be able to make progress.

Taking a little blow will be good for her, and it will make her understand that it is true that there are good songs, but you are not a match now.

After thinking about it, Song Yu handed Wen Rensi a ballad, "Nanshan Nan".

This time, the second season of "The Masked Singer" did not attract so much attention.

The reason is that "The Matrix" has stolen too much heat.

The amazing score after the screening has always made netizens argue.

Most of them think that Penguin Films and Xingdong Entertainment are spending money to do it.

Because no one believed that Daxia's sci-fi movies would suddenly reach this point.

It's like the "Three-Body Problem" was born in the previous life.

July 1.

"The Matrix" was released worldwide.

In addition to Daxia, there are also countries such as Aramco, the Europa League, and Goryeo.

Judging from the past box office, Daxia and Ami are the largest box office.

Song Yu focused on the latter.

As for the former, it is no exaggeration to say that there really is no opponent.

The only good one is Dragon Entertainment's "No Return to the Sword".

And Ami's opponent is more powerful.

One of the most competitive is a war sci-fi film called "Galaxy Empire".

It's probably equivalent to Star Wars in the previous life.

The history of Aramco is very long, and it is a super big IP.

So far, four movies have been made, all of which have achieved good box office.

The highest one now ranks 21st at the global box office, with a whopping 12 billion box office.

This "Star Empire" is even more powerful in terms of lineup.

The starring role is Ami's most popular action superstar, Markao Conrad.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is Tom Tom of this world.

To be honest, except for Song Yu, almost no one is optimistic about "The Matrix".

Including Penguin Films.

It's not that the quality of "The Matrix" is not good, but that Daxia's movies have hardly achieved high box office at Aramco.

The reason is simple.

xenophobia and cultural differences.

Only Song Yu understands that "The Matrix" is an authentic Ami movie.

Speaking of culture, the various philosophical and religious ideas contained in this movie, most people in Daxia actually don't feel anything.

But foreign countries are different, and they will inevitably cause a lot of resonance.

Night falls.

Dragon Entertainment.

Xu Mo looked at the watch on his wrist anxiously, only hoping that time would be faster, so that he could be sure of the box office of "The Matrix".

For this reason, he did not even participate in the premiere of "No Way Home".

In his opinion, if "The Matrix" is really like a screening and still maintains a high reputation, then "No Way Home" is doomed to fail miserably.

Whether the premiere was attended or not, it was no longer necessary.

The time slowly reached half past ten.

At this time, the first scene of the movie has been played in full.

The data that comes out can probably determine the future direction.

Xu Mo opened the software, Skynet Movie.

Suddenly it was like being struck by lightning.

"The Matrix" 400 million.

What is this concept?

And the most outrageous thing is that the score has not changed in any way, it is still 9.9 points.

It means that most of the 400 million viewers who watched the first show scored highly.

Xu Mo took a look at the box office of other movies.

Well, it adds up to 400 million.

"Hehe, all have to die!"

Xu Mo turned off his phone, lay on the office chair, and began to give up on himself.

It's only an hour.

Crazy, crazy, crazy.

In fact, there is indeed a sense of madness on the web.

"I announce the rise of Daxia science fiction movies from today!"

"After Brother Yu came out of the nutrition cabin, the plot began to soar, and there was no urine spot throughout the whole process!"

"At first I thought it was a pseudo-science fiction movie, but then I realized that I was too young."

"The choice of red pills and blue pills can be called classics."

"If it were you, would you want to wake up?"

On the first day of its release, "The Matrix" occupied five hot searches in the top ten on the hot search list.

Word-of-mouth and box office double harvest.

Even the plot has been discussed repeatedly.

For a while, "The Matrix" was in the limelight.

As the leading actor and screenwriter, Song Yu has a great reputation in the film industry.

And what many people don't know is that it's more than Great Xia.

"The Matrix" is already brewing huge surprises in countries such as Aramco.
