Chapter 204 Box Office
Because all the film critics' comments were somewhat vague, netizens were very curious.
If ten film critics were bribed, it cannot be that all film bloggers were bribed, right?
Even bloggers who became famous by their sharp comments can be a bit incoherent.
It's just a weird feeling that he would sometimes curse and sometimes praise the same plot.
For example, in the play, after Lao Lu passed away, Cheng Yong went to burn incense and give money to his wife.
He started cursing, and he was cursing the screenwriter. The general meaning was that he wanted to write the patients as pitiful, hateful, and grateful.
It makes the audience sympathize with the film, but also makes them hate the ugliness of human nature, which keeps the audience's emotions torn.
Although he was clearly cursing someone, those who saw it could see the compliment in his words.
So some people suspected that he was just making money by cheating others.
The blogger named Houye said bluntly: [Which of the top ten movies in the Federation has I not criticized?
Which of them doesn't have a bigger background than Jiang Qin? Have I ever been afraid?
As for accepting money, that's not the case. I don't accept any, so no one would bother me. But if I accept money from one company, then it would be unreasonable for others not to accept money. I understand this.]
Most people still believe this.
Although this blogger with the online name of Hou Ye is not the film critic with the most fans in the Federation, he is definitely the one with the most fans among the venomous film critics.
He became famous by finding faults in everything, so there is no reason for him to damage his own reputation.
Of course, unless there is one situation, that is, he is married to Jiang Qin, otherwise there is no reason for him to be bribed by her.
However, this situation can be ruled out because the Marquis is a married male.
In his daily account, all the updates are about his female protagonist, which shows how much he loves her, so it is impossible for him to cheat on her.
Based on these inferences, it can be concluded that his evaluation is still harsh.
How bad could a movie be that could be praised and criticized by such harsh film critics?
Out of curiosity, more and more people flocked to the cinema.
Most people who have watched it have given it positive reviews.
After watching too many war films, everyone feels that this type of film is so story-filled when they occasionally watch it.
The more I watch, the more engaged I become.
Originally, the cinema's traffic was evenly divided among the five films, but too many people couldn't buy tickets and began to put pressure on the cinema.
[After three days of trying to get tickets, I still haven't gotten any. I'm fed up. I've caught a lot of black bass and still can't see any.]
[I've been trying to get tickets for three days and haven't been able to get any yet. I'm so frustrated. I can't even get a ticket to the bar in line.]
[Didn’t those who said the drama was mediocre, say they wouldn’t watch it?
Who are the people who grab tickets every day?]
In each city, there are only five cinemas at most, the larger ones can accommodate 3,000 people, and the smaller ones can accommodate 1,000 people.
There are ten cities on each planet, which means there are about fifty cinemas. If one movie is scheduled every day, the number of tickets available is about 150,000.
Each ticket was sold for 70 star coins, so when all the tickets were sold out, the box office of "Dying to Survive" exceeded 10 billion in one day.
This has never happened before.
Even on the first day of the release of those famous directors' movies, it is impossible to have such a high attendance rate.
Of course, on the first day of release, the box office will be a little inflated.
But on the second and third days, the box office continued to be so high and there was still a shortage of supply, which is real data.
By the fourth day, many cinemas had scheduled four screenings of "Dying to Survive" every day, and prime time was basically all about "Dying to Survive".
There are also two Empire films scheduled for screening.
Although the box office of "Dying to Survive" rose rapidly, surpassing the estimated box office on the first day, it was still not as fast as the two "Empire" films.
After all, those two movies were released simultaneously throughout the galaxy, while "Dying to Survive" was only released in the Federation.
So the box office is naturally less than those two movies.
Many netizens posted angry comments about this:
[Right now, the only film in the Federation that has a chance of competing with Empire Cinema is Medicine God. Who is that? They don't support their own films, but they just buy tickets for Empire Cinema.]
[I suggest adding two more shows of "Dying to Survive". I haven't bought the tickets yet.]
[Anyway, I'm not buying tickets for Empire. I can bear it and wait a few months until it's available on StarNet and then watch it on StarNet.]
[I won’t buy it either. I’m not interested in themes like Medicine God, but I can buy tickets to watch it, but I can’t buy tickets to watch Highlights and Black Fog.]
"Highlight" and "The Black Fog" are the two new high-grossing movies released by Empire.
The filming budget alone is nearly one trillion yuan.
The invited actors, from the leading roles to the supporting roles, are all interstellar superstars, and even the villains are movie stars from all races.
Several federal award-winning actors and actresses also have roles in these two films.
It can be said that it is a gathering of superstars.
On the day of its release, the film was scheduled for screening in all Star Cinemas, and the attendance rate reached 90%.
The box office revenue even reached 100 billion in one day.
The popularity continued on the second and third days, but the box office revenue dropped slightly compared to the first day.
Because various film critics came out to comment:
[A work by a famous director, with stable performance, but the plot is quite ordinary. I can’t say it’s bad, but I can only say that there are no surprises.
It's basically a work that fans pay for.]
Although it is not possible to shoot a video and upload it to StarNet, those who have watched it have written down the general plot.
"Highlight" is a historical war film adapted from past history.
The protagonist is the imperial general Hoss from three hundred years ago.
At that time, the Zerg and the Empire had been at war for many years. It was not until that battle that year, when he and the Zerg Queen died together, that the two sides signed a peace agreement.
So the movie is called Highlight.
That battle was the most glorious moment in General Hoss's life.
This light has illuminated people for many years.
With its sentimentality and the support of superstars, it is hard for this movie not to be popular.
Although this plot and this history have been filmed over and over again many times, there are still many people who pay attention to the name of Hoss.
"The Black Fog" is a mystery and survival film.
The content is roughly that the protagonist group's spaceship was damaged and accidentally fell into a black hole, entering a planet lost in the universe.
On that planet, they found traces of human life at least a thousand years ago.
But now all that was left on the planet were the rubbish and debris that were about to be annihilated, and the supplies they brought could only last for a month.
In order to repair the spacecraft and leave, they began to explore this lost planet and picked up many relics of civilization.
But everything was inedible. This was a dead planet and they couldn't find anything to eat.
It’s unknown how long it will take to repair the spacecraft. How can they survive without supplies?
So they started fighting among themselves.
After experiencing a series of dark moments in human nature, only the male and female protagonists survived.
Fortunately, the spacecraft was repaired and returned to the correct orbit after passing through the black hole.
