Chapter 532: Word of Mouth Consistent, Social NB Syndrome (asking for monthly votes)
"'The Rescue' is a combination of soft science fiction and hard science fiction, especially the imagination in it is really explosive."
"Yes, I have never seen the theory about space and time."
"This is the kind of science fiction movie we want to watch. It's really cool."
"Brill is really handsome, but Jiang Qinglan is a bit of a jerk. He is a complete burden."
…
The premiere of "The Rescue" was a normal premiere, and almost everyone who saw it said it was good.
Some of the artists who were invited to participate in "The Rescue" gave the film great praise.
Everyone claims that this is the best science fiction movie they have ever seen. It has a huge imagination and touches people's hearts. In addition, everyone believes that science fiction movies are expected to experience a revival.
That's right.
When everyone was interviewed, they all claimed that "The Rescue" would take up the banner of the revival of science fiction, because everyone has been waiting for science fiction movies for a long time. To this day, many people think that "The Rescue" will definitely be a hit.
Since it’s a premiere, it naturally needs to be praised as much as possible.
Almost as soon as the premiere ended, countless press releases came out.
This is a common routine in movies, and it can even be said that basically all movies use this routine, although many film critics now really have no so-called moral integrity, and basically no one believes in the support of celebrities.
But even so, the routine of promoting this kind of movie remains the same.
Why?
it works.
As the old saying goes, if you can catch as many rabbits as you can while raking the grass, you’ll catch as many rabbits as you can.
Moreover, celebrities all have fans, and when these celebrities recommend movies, some of their fans will go.
But don't get your hopes up.
Just like traffic stars, many of them have over 10 million fans, and a single comment can get tens of thousands of views, but some traffic artists’ movies only make a few million at the box office.
kindness.
Even her underwear was exposed.
Why has capital no longer been obsessed with popular artists as movie protagonists in the past two years?
Obviously, it failed.
The audience voted with their movie tickets, and then traffic stars can buy fans, buy reviews, and buy likes, but they cannot buy box office revenue for a movie.
So the current film market is completely different from before.
In the past, the film market relied on popular artists to guarantee box office revenue. Sometimes, a youth film could earn at least 100 or 200 million yuan with two top-tier artists. It could be said that it was truly low-cost and high-return.
As for the script, just let anyone write it.
But now it’s different, times have changed.
Some of the top young stars are in the process of crazy transformation, not to mention other popular artists. Anyone who can transform has done so, and as for those who cannot, they are just half-dead and at the same time using money to maintain their popularity online.
There are actually two young handsome guys participating in "Rescue" this time. One is Zheng Wen, who was born in 2000. He is considered a representative of tough guys among the young handsome guys. He is neither effeminate nor coquettish, and he is not like the other young handsome guys who wear makeup and dress up. He can be considered to have a tough guy style.
Another person who was also born in the 2000s is Xiao Ming. He looks extremely feminine. Sometimes, when he gets excited, men have almost no chance of survival.
These two didn't have many roles in "The Rescue", but the traffic they brought was huge.
After the premiere, Xiao Ming and Zheng Wen both released promotional materials, and the number of reposts for both of them has exceeded one million.
Yes.
Over a million reposts.
And it took less than 4 hours.
It is actually not difficult to achieve over a million reposts.
It's just fans going crazy one by one.
Of course, moisture is not important, as long as it can be promoted.
I must support my brother's movies.
This is what fans of Xiao Ming and Zheng Wen think.
In short, since the premiere, the publicity for the movie "The Rescue" has been extremely large, and some film critics have naturally written long reviews.
These long reviews all focus on how good the movie "The Rescue" is and how worth watching it is.
Many film critics, no, not just film critics, people like Zhong Fei and Zhou Yi gave "The Rescue" extremely high praise.
Unlike film critics, Zhong Fei and Zhou Yi wrote: "This Lunar New Year season is a blessing for science fiction fans."
This is the title, and it also says that both science fiction movies "The Wandering Earth" and "The Rescue" can be called classics, and these two movies can be regarded as a revival of Chinese science fiction movies.
Science fiction fans have waited for decades, and this time they have finally seen the revival of science fiction.
After all, "See Movies" and "Movies of the Week" are professional film magazines, so what they write is naturally more professional. Zhong Fei started by talking about the development, boom, heyday, and decline of science fiction, and then to the helplessness of the film industry and the long-standing expectations of science fiction fans.
After all, Zhong Fei, who is a science fiction fan himself, was indeed very surprised by both movies.
As for Zhou Yi, his gossip will never disappoint people.
The last time he wrote about "The Wandering Earth" after the preview, it was all about gossip, and this time he made a 2.0 version. Especially this time, he also specifically asked Bai Suzhen backstage.
Has Bai Susu watched "The Wandering Earth"?
Did Bai Suzhen discuss writing the movie "The Wandering Earth" with Yu Xiaoshu?
After all, they were lovers. Did they both have a science fiction dream? ?
Zhou Yi is serious about writing gossip.
Almost all he wrote in his manuscripts were gossips.
For example, Bai Suzhen said that she had watched "The Wandering Earth", but she would not comment on the movie because it was inappropriate.
kindness.
That's putting it mildly.
As for the fact that both movies "The Wandering Earth" and "Rescue" are about the end of the world, Bai Suzhen is not worried about the audience's comparison. She said that these are two movies with completely different styles.
As for why the collision? ?
Bai Suzhen said that it might be because she and Yu Xiaoshu once told her that she had always had a science fiction dream, and she must shoot a Chinese science fiction movie in the future.
At the same time, Bai Suzhen also believes that Yu Xiaoshu does not understand science fiction, and was not interested in science fiction when he was in love with her.
…
What is the most important thing for a gossip magazine? ? ?
Of course it’s the topic.
Zhou Yi was not afraid of offending people. What he wanted to do was to create the number one gossip magazine in the film industry. In the past, gossip in Hong Kong was written quite harshly, and when writing about entertainers, it was not only harsh but also immoral.
Of course, Zhou Yi didn't want to be too unethical, but he thought that since he was writing gossip, he must not have any concerns.
He and Zhong Fei had discussed using one title, so that everyone could get what they needed.
But the contents cannot be said to be completely different, they can only be said to be unrelated.
Both manuscripts came out in the afternoon.
Now we are all pursuing timeliness.
The same is true for magazines.
Not only that, in order to boost sales of the physical magazine, Zhou Yi also said that the next issue, which is 3.0 of the gossip, will be urgently reprinted and will be available to everyone next week.
Wow, they really don’t want to waste any traffic.
To be honest, the two articles sparked completely different levels of discussion.
"Damn, these two science fiction movies are going to be pretty good now."
"Yes, Bai Susu and Yu Xiaoshu are really awesome, and it's not surprising, after all, they are both very powerful."
“I haven’t watched The Wandering Earth because I don’t have time to watch it. As for The Rescue, it seems that it hasn’t been screened yet.”
"Yes, 'The Rescue' hasn't had any previews, but seeing the premiere everyone is giving it positive reviews."
"Don't be silly, the guy above, do you think this premiere is good enough to watch? Which movie has received bad reviews after its premiere?"
"I think it's different. Don't forget, this is a film review written by Zhong Fei. What Zhong Fei wrote is still worth reading."
…
In any case, as the editor-in-chief of "See Movies" and a big V in the film industry, Zhong Fei still has some trust.
This is not.
Everyone who commented on the film review he wrote expressed their belief in him. Not only did they believe in him, but they also said that as science fiction fans they were going to be really excited this time.
On the contrary, the style of Zhou Yi's message was a little bit distorted.
"Hahaha, I knew Zhou Yi would continue to write gossip."
"This gossip is interesting. Is Bai Susu openly trying to DISS Yu Xiaoshu???"
“Although it’s not a DISS, I think it has this meaning.”
"Bai Susu has always looked down on Yu Xiaoshu. I don't think this situation is surprising."
…
The styles of the messages on both sides are completely different.
By this time, basically all the film reviews have been published.
Basically all of them have been posted on social platforms and Douhu.
Among them, several famous film critics have posted on Douhu.
kindness.
This does not include the 2.8-meter-long penis.
Before today, Jiji2mi8 posted a message saying that he would not attend the premiere of "The Rescue".
Because even a man with a 2.8-meter-long penis would never attend such a premiere.
But this further confirms that the man with a 2.8-meter-tall penis is Yu Xiaoshu's man.
After all, Jiji, who is 2.8 meters tall, participated in the preview of "The Wandering Earth".
In response to this, some people explained that it was because the preview and premiere were different, and that the preview conditions for "The Wandering Earth" were relaxed.
Some people believed it, while others expressed disbelief.
None of this matters.
Anyway, among the many reviews of "The Rescue" today, there is no "2.8-meter-long penis" review. At the same time, there are a total of 20 reviews, and all of them gave positive reviews to "The Rescue".
Not only that, 15 of the film reviews believe that "The Rescue" is better than "The Wandering Earth" because they think that the plot of "The Rescue" is reasonable and the science fiction setting is better.
As for the remaining five articles, they believe that the two science fiction films have their own merits, but it is hard to say which one will become the biggest winner of the Lunar New Year box office.
But at 7 o'clock in the evening, another film review surprised many people.
“I think The Wandering Earth and The Rescue are a collision of Eastern and Western science fiction. Yes, I think The Rescue does not represent the revival of Chinese science fiction.
I am not saying that "The Rescue" is not good. On the contrary, I also think it is good. But I think this movie still represents the Western science fiction genre, with a Hollywood lone hero saving the world. On the contrary, "The Wandering Earth" is not like that. I think this movie is full of Chinese characteristics.
What is considered a representative Chinese science fiction film?
I believe that the cultural core and aesthetic presentation must be Chinese. Only in this way can it be considered a science fiction film of our China.
Then let's take a look at "The Rescue", which is about migrating to a planet in the face of the end of the world, but what about "The Wandering Earth"? ?
That is, even if the world ends, we will still wander with the Earth, because the Earth is like our home. There is a saying in China that "A nest of gold or silver is not as good as your own doghouse".
That's right.
I believe that foreigners cannot understand the theme of "home". We Chinese people have great love for home and land. In "The Rescue", the protagonist is always looking up at the stars, but we Chinese people are looking down at the land.
…
It can be said that Xiang Fei made a comparison between "The Rescue" and "The Wandering Earth".
The contrast is striking.
The core of the two films is different.
Many people didn’t think about it carefully before, but after reading Xiang Fei’s film review, they suddenly felt that it seemed to be true.
"Oh my god, it's really like that. And I think the father-son relationship between Liu Peiqiang and Liu Qi in the film is too 'Chinese'. Think about it, isn't it like this for fathers and sons nowadays? They don't understand, they don't communicate, and they don't agree with each other. At the same time, both sides still love each other and can even sacrifice themselves for each other."
"That's true. The worldview of this movie is really good. The landmarks of our China can be seen everywhere in the movie. It's really down-to-earth. Magic City, Spring City, Hangzhou City, etc. These are our Chinese things."
"Yes, think about "The Rescue", it seems like a foreign movie, and there are no Chinese place names in the movie, and the cities are all fictional."
"And have you noticed? The Wandering Earth is a collective success, which is more in line with the characteristics of our China. When one side is in trouble, all sides will come to its aid, and when everyone adds fuel, the flames will burn brighter."
"Yes, some people are afraid of death, and some people have various shortcomings, but everyone has their bright spots. This is really a characteristic of Chinese movies."
…
There is no discussion about other movies on Douhu yet, as they are still in the promotional stage. However, "The Wandering Earth" has already had two previews. Although not many people have watched it, there are still tens of thousands of people.
In such a situation, many people after watching "The Wandering Earth" are not able to write so-called professional film reviews like Xiang Fei. Even though everyone thinks it is good after watching it, no one can say what is good about it.
But it's different now.
Now Xiang Fei said this out loud.
Everyone started to follow automatically.
Especially the concept of 'home'.
Taking the earth with you on a journey, this sentence is indeed very romantic.
There are also the Spring Festival, lion dancing, eating dumplings, etc. These elements with Chinese characteristics in the world view are the important ones.
As for the generation gap between father and son in the film reviews, Wang Lei's responsibilities as a soldier, the ethics of other people, and some small characters who are obviously afraid of death but finally choose to save the world.
Many times, this is what true heroism is.
A hero is not without flaws, nor is he not afraid of death. No one is born a hero, and many heroes may come from around you and me.
They are usually very ordinary people, but when danger comes, they will rush to the front in an instant.
People abroad cannot understand this Chinese characteristic.
So, even though everyone hasn't watched "The Rescue", some people already think that "The Wandering Earth" is indeed one of the films with Chinese characteristics.
The next day, "The Wandering Earth" and "The Rescue" were both on the hot searches, and the discussion about science fiction became more and more intense.
After all, "The Rescue" is just its premiere, and no one has watched it yet. At the same time, today, the preview of "The Wandering Earth" has also ended. As a result, the discussion about these two movies will of course intensify.
What's more, the online reputation of the two movies is currently very good.
As a result, as word of mouth spreads, these two films have already taken the lead in the Lunar New Year box office.
The next week was the official melee stage.
Guo Han's film "One Life" premiered on January 22, and on the same day, the animated film "Old Li's New Year" officially opened in the afternoon.
Good job.
All caught up together.
Needless to say, Guo Han's movie is truly star-studded. After all, Tiger Star Films is betting big on this movie.
The premiere was held at 6pm, and almost everyone who could attend the premiere came.
right.
You are not wrong.
Yu Xiaoshu also came.
Speaking of which, the relationship between Yu Xiaoshu and Guo Han is quite interesting, and they are like friends but not really friends.
He came naturally after receiving Guo Han's invitation.
No matter what, considering his relationship with Guo Han, he has to give him this face.
Guo Han invited more than just Yu Xiaoshu.
This guy also invited Bai Suzhen to come.
Not only that, Guo Han also invited the directors of several other films.
If there is a word for the Internet at this time, it must be social awesomeness.
Naturally, Zhou Ming, the director of the animated film "Old Li Celebrates the New Year", also came.
Zhou Ming and Guo Han have a pretty good relationship.
Because Zhou Ming had been the assistant director of Guo Han’s previous movie.
The two walked the red carpet together.
right.
The premiere of "One World" was broadcast live, and Guo Han actually walked the red carpet with Zhou Ming.
Speaking of which, although "Old Li's New Year" is a well-known IP, its publicity and promotion are not strong, otherwise it would not have been released in advance, and it could have gotten a high screening schedule.
But at this time today, it is a weekday after all, so even if you get a high-ranking movie, it won’t be of much use.
Guo Han knew Zhou Ming's difficulties, because he said to the camera: "Today is not only the premiere of "One Life", but also the premiere of the animated film "Old Li's New Year". I hope everyone will support Chinese animation..."
