Chapter 384 Word of Mouth, Goodbye Ex-wife (Subscription Request)
The Spring Festival period has always been a battleground for all major movie studios, and some movies will go there even if they are criticized.
Let me put it this way, compared to the National Day period, the Spring Festival period is more cruel.
But why do people still go here when it is so cruel? ?
It’s very simple, the reason is that the Spring Festival period is a big market.
The Spring Festival period is the largest period, and all box office records have been set during this period. Every movie is confident that it can win the championship during this period.
Among the six movies in this year's Spring Festival, the disaster film is "Crocodile Attack" directed by Wang Zhi.
The martial arts film is "Cold-Blooded Dragon" directed by Zheng Feng.
The science fiction film is "Visitors from Alien Planet" directed by Lin Xiang.
The fantasy film is "Destruction of the World" directed by Jiang Qing.
These four blockbusters can be said to have their own merits. The most important thing is that Wang Zhi, Zheng Feng, Lin Xiang and Jiang Qing are all considered to be directors of the younger generation. More importantly, on the director ranking list, these four are all on the potential list.
Even far ahead.
Compared to Zhao Yunzhan, these four people are actually not weak at all, especially Zheng Feng. The movies he has made in recent years have all been small-scale but big-wins, and each time has been a huge success. It was precisely because of this that Zheng Feng got such an opportunity this time.
This time, the martial arts film "Cold-Blooded Dragon" has an investment of over 200 million yuan, of which 100 million yuan is basically all used on the actors. The real pay is actually for the best actor and best actress. On the contrary, some traffic artists' pay is not that high, because these traffic artists want to use this movie to boost their reputation.
This creates a somewhat torn feeling in "Cold-Blooded Dragon".
The acting of several actors with good acting skills was indeed not good, no matter whether it was the heroine or the hero, one of them was a movie queen and the other was a movie emperor, so naturally their acting was quite good. Even the villain was also a veteran actor, and his acting was so good that it made people hate him.
But those popular actors, such as the second male lead, the second female lead, and the third male lead, just look a bit weird no matter how you look at them.
It’s a bit like some people on Earth, they act the same no matter what role they play.
Therefore, apart from the script, the sense of fragmentation of "Cold-Blooded Dragon" is also a big problem.
Therefore, the first wave of word-of-mouth for "Cold-Blooded Dragon" has somewhat collapsed.
Compared to "Cold-Blooded Dragon", the fairy tale film "Destruction of the World" has a rather extreme reputation. Those who like it think that the special effects of this fairy tale are explosive and the plot is quite good. It can be said that it has created the peak of fairy tales.
But there are also many people who don't like it. Some think that "The End of the World" is just a gimmick disguised as a fantasy film, and the plot is completely fragmented. Some even say that the film is a bit influenced by foreign countries, abandoning the script and only pursuing the blockbuster effect.
In short, whether it is "Cold-Blooded Dragon" or "Destruction of the World", there has been no improvement in word of mouth.
Especially since this is just the beginning.
Apart from these, the science fiction film "The Man from Outer Space" and the disaster film "When the Moon Falls" received rave reviews.
Many people think these two films are really great.
Especially "The Man from Outer Space" is really a comedy. Yes, it is the kind of comedy with a slightly serious tone. This kind of contrast makes everyone feel quite novel and like it more.
As for "When the Crocodile Comes", it vividly displays the evil and good of human nature. Of course, this movie is not suitable for children because it is too bloody.
In short, the reputation of the four blockbusters has come out, but the ratings on Douhu have not been released yet.
It is hard to say how the final four films will perform at the box office.
However, compared to these four films, another one we have been talking about, "Lost on Journey", has been discussed more. Of course, its reputation is not unanimous.
Beans.
"I would say this is the funniest movie I have ever seen. I'm afraid it will really be a dark horse during the Spring Festival."
"I am dying of laughter. The character Niu Dan is so damn funny. The most important thing is that he looks so innocent."
"That's right. Another point is that Niu Dan is actually a really nice person."
"Yes, it is good, but it is precisely because of that that he was able to subdue Li Chenggong so well."
"Haha, why do I feel like the more unlucky Li Chenggong is, the happier I am? That scene in the hotel made me laugh so hard."
"If nothing else, Niu Dan's crow's mouth attribute is really good."
"Yes, yes, yes, I also think that this crow's mouth attribute is really good."
…
Obviously, there are many funny comments about Lost on Journey on Douhu. At the same time, more people think that this is a qualified Spring Festival movie.
Qualified is a very high evaluation.
What counts as qualified?
It is suitable for all ages.
And the most important thing is that it fits the atmosphere of the Spring Festival.
From the current perspective, Lost on Journey does meet the requirements in all aspects.
However, as I just said, the word of mouth for this movie was not unanimously positive, and some people were dissatisfied with the character of Li Chenggong.
For example, Douhu netizen Nangong Baidi wrote directly: "In my opinion, this "Lost on Journey" is a typical middle-aged fantasy. Li Chenggong is just a small boss, but he has a good wife at home and a mistress outside. His good wife diligently raises his children and helps him take care of his mother. Think about it, Li Chenggong only comes home once a year. What's the difference between his wife and a so-called widow?"
The most important thing is that the mistress in this movie turned out to be true love. She left when she said she would, and said she would always love Li Chenggong. And his wife actually just said "Just go home."
This is too bullshit.
It's simply a complete distorted outlook on life.
It's totally a middle-aged person's YY fantasy.
Yu Xiaoshu, you disappoint me so much."
…
It can be said that on Douhu, Nangong Baidi is not the only one who thinks so.
Some netizens also think so.
They think the ending of "Lost on Journey" is forced to be perfect and inappropriate.
Some people even said that it was very dad-like.
Of course, these negative reviews are only one side of the story.
Most people are quite supportive of the movie. Not only that, most people think that this movie will become a dark horse.
Among them, film critic Meng Fan wrote a professional film review titled "The Biggest Surprise of the Spring Festival".
He said that he watched the first show of Lost on Journey and the occupancy rate of the entire cinema was less than 50%, which seemed a bit insufficient, but there was constant laughter throughout the cinema.
At the same time, Meng Fan made a summary.
During the entire movie, I laughed out loud 85 times, 13 times, and 3 times I laughed out loud.
In Meng Fan's opinion, such a small-scale, low-cost movie may become the biggest surprise of the Spring Festival.
Meng Fan couldn’t predict how the box office would perform, but he felt that this movie would definitely bring some pressure to several other movies.
…
Many people on Douhu do not agree with Meng Fan's summary.
"Bullshit, is it enough to just laugh at a movie? It's rubbish. I think this movie is rubbish."
"It's a shame that a movie like this can succeed. I think this movie is rubbish."
"That's right, isn't this movie just a fantasy of middle-aged people? Your wife doesn't care if you cheat on her or have a mistress outside, as long as you come home and everything is fine, what's the point of that?"
"I am dying of laughter. I don't like this movie. It's really rubbish."
…
The reputation on Douhu is indeed completely different.
Many people are dissatisfied with the portrayal of Li Chenggong's mistress and wife in this movie.
Some people also said: "Isn't this encouraging men to cheat? The wife works so hard and the mistress is so considerate. Damn, isn't this encouraging cheating?"
The focus of "Lost on Journey" is actually on Li Chenggong.
Some people think that the character of Li Chenggong in "Lost on Journey" is totally unlikable. Coupled with the fact that some women hate men, these people can be said to hate "Lost on Journey" to death.
Of course, these are only a small part.
At this time, some people posted photos of their chance encounters with Yu Xiaoshu on social platforms.
Book fan Xuanxuan: "I'm very happy to have met Mr. Yu when I was watching Lost on Journey. Mr. Yu is really handsome."
Yushang: "I didn't expect to meet Teacher Yu at the first show. I took a photo with him and I am very happy."
Dai Laosong: "I am the first person who recognized Teacher Yu. I put my hands on my hips and felt so awesome."
Tianxiajieke: "I won't say anything, I just want to say that Mr. Yu is really handsome."
Coffee and Garlic: "Go watch Lost on Journey. You won't regret it."
Man smoking a cigarette: "Well, let's all go watch Lost on Journey. I heard that you might run into Mr. Yu again."
…
Many people in the first venue where Yu Xiaoshu was standing up to take photos.
More and more people say that the Yu Xiaoshu they met is so handsome.
Even these people no longer cheered for the movie, but only cheered for being able to take photos with Yu Xiaoshu.
really.
This can happen with every movie.
But there are some you won’t encounter.
Some are hard to come by.
As a result, everyone met Yu Xiaoshu in "Lost on Journey".
There are more than just small trees.
And there is Zhou Xiaozhi.
The two of them took photos together with their fans openly.
Regarding this, some gossipers thought that maybe the two were in love? ?
But only those who know the inside story know that the two people were actually in love.
Damn it.
This week Xiao Zhi actually took the first step? ?
Bao Nan and Lou Zi looked at the photos and felt a little angry.
They are all in their hometowns. After all, Bao Nan did not participate in "Lost on Journey" this time, so Bao Nan really didn't know that Zhou Xiaozhi participated.
It turns out that Bao Nan has always been competing with Lou Zi.
Did the fisherman gain the advantage in the end? ?
But other people don’t know.
"Damn it, you know what, I somehow feel like these two are a good match."
“It’s indeed somewhat suitable.”
"Hahaha, I also think this is a perfect match."
…
At the same time, the news that Yu Xiaoshu had a new relationship directly became a hot topic, even more so than other so-called movie topics.
Who is Yu Xiaoshu? ?
He is a person who has rapidly achieved success in online dramas, TV series and movies within two years. The success here does not just refer to small achievements. For example, in online dramas, Yu Xiaoshu is now a lone warrior seeking to defeat the enemy. His reasoning trilogy is like three huge mountains that no one can climb.
Apart from that, not to mention the TV series from the past, just the recent one "Soldier Assault" is unstoppable.
It is exactly like this. Yu Xiaoshu is really strong in the TV drama circle. Coupled with the surge in popularity of the movie "Let the Bullets Fly" during the National Day holiday, many people have recognized Yu Xiaoshu's strength in the film circle.
Before this, Yu Xiaoshu was almost becoming the public enemy of the film industry, but the movie "Let the Bullets Fly" once again gave those who were not optimistic about him a slap in the face.
I want to stand and make the fucking money.
This is what Yu Xiaoshu wanted to say.
The most important thing is what Yu Xiaoshu did.
Before "Let the Bullets Fly", many people thought that the film industry was very high-end, but this time Yu Xiaoshu seemed to have torn the so-called high-end down.
Not to mention "Lost on Journey", which was released on the back of the popularity of the movie "Let the Bullets Fly".
This "Lost on Journey" can be said to be just as controversial as "Let the Bullets Fly".
Not only is there no trailer, the shooting period of this movie is also shorter. There is neither a Best Actor nor a Best Actress starring in it. Apart from Ding Ge, there is only Lin Feiyang.
These two people are exactly saying that Lin Feiyang is really in the TV drama circle.
What do you think? Is Yu Xiaoshu planning to launch some new plan?
Just when everyone was discussing this, someone actually met Yu Xiaoshu at the first show of "Lost on Journey" which was officially released today. Not only did they meet Yu Xiaoshu, they also met Zhou Xiaozhi.
And the two of them look like they are in love.
Of course, the media who are interested in gossip would just ask Ding Xiaoman about this matter.
It can be said that Ding Xiaoman's development in the past two years cannot be said to be too bad. With the help of Green Tea and someone behind the scenes, Ding Xiaoman has gradually obtained some works and has more and more fans.
That's right.
I forgot to mention that Ding Xiaoman and Jiang Tian have broken up.
Firstly, Jiang Tian became a flop again. After the flop of "Invincible Sisters" he shot, he no longer had any opportunities for big productions. Simply put, Jiang Tian no longer had much value. If Ding Xiaoman could climb onto Jiang Tian's bed back then, then she could also climb onto someone else's bed now.
Secondly, although the TV series "Invincible Sisters" flopped, Ding Xiaoman received some positive reviews because she played herself in the role after all.
That's why Ding Xiaoman kicked Jiang Tian away without any hesitation.
Well, Ding Xiaoman teamed up with Wang Zhi, and this time during the Spring Festival, she played a small role in Wang Zhi's "Crocodile Attack".
Originally, Ding Xiaoman was not qualified to go on the roadshow with the crew, but she became a bigger topic after all.
As long as she is topical, she can be used as a vase.
This is also the path taken by Ding Xiaoman.
She was following the path of her predecessor Xia Mei.
Creating scandals and creating hype are all just for popularity.
Just today, during the roadshow of "Big Crocodile Attacks", the media asked Ding Xiaoman about Yu Xiaoshu.
After all, you are Yu Xiaoshu’s ex-wife.
