"Come to think of it," Zhang Yiling said after she walked out of the cinema. She suddenly stopped and began to glance outside involuntarily. "That theater over there is so crowded. What movie is playing that's so popular?"
After hearing Zhang Yiling's words, Su Yin, who had returned to normal, seemed to have thought of something and laughed directly: "I know, that movie has been very popular on Douyin recently. Its promotion is everywhere, very exaggerated."
"It's everywhere?" Zhang Yiling covered her mouth, realizing she didn't even know about this movie. It seemed she was a bit out of touch with the crowd. "Is this movie good? Since so many people are watching it, it must have some merits, right? We have nothing to do right now, so why not go see it?"
However, Su Yin shook her head and said seriously, "Forget it. If you see its rating, you definitely won't ask that question anymore."
Zhang Yiling exclaimed, and Su Yin's words aroused her curiosity.
When she opened the ticket purchasing software and saw the unbelievably low score, Zhang Yiling frowned and even wondered if she had searched wrong.
Su Yin, however, glanced at the phone interface Zhang Yiling was looking at and immediately said, "You searched correctly, it's this movie."
This action really surprised Zhang Yiling. She didn't understand why there were still people watching such a movie.
When Zhang Yiling checked the pre-sale results for the film tomorrow, she was even more surprised and opened her mouth wide. "No way! Did I see it wrong?"
"Ah, what did I see wrong?" Su Yin came over curiously. At this time, the two of them had already left the theater through a secret passage, and their plan to continue watching the movie was tacitly canceled.
"Look, tomorrow's pre-sales for this movie called 'My Saddest Love' are still taking off at the box office. Based on this coefficient, its box office performance tomorrow is unlikely to drop. This shows that even though viewers know this movie is trash, people still keep coming to see it."
Zhang Yiling certainly doesn't understand the domestic box office market. She's also aware that there are examples of bad films that have achieved high box office success abroad. However, those are usually IP-based films or special effects films. In other words, audiences don't care about the quality of the films at all.
But this kind of youth romance film should have a high demand for plot, right?
"And the plot, wow," Zhang Yiling clicked on a review and was truly amazed. "A story about a high school student who unexpectedly gets pregnant, then gets an abortion and jumps off a building, mixed with school bullying, is there really going to be that many people watching it?"
Su Yin's ears blushed. She actually loved reading this kind of novel when she was young. Back then, she would be tormented for a long time by the tragic life story and miserable experience of the heroine!
"Yiling, you have to understand that China is a huge country. The film market is much larger than Australia's. So in some regions, audiences aren't as sensitive to word-of-mouth. Their aesthetics just happen to favor this kind of plot. In other words, no matter how fiercely the online criticism is directed, these people may not even read the reviews online, but instead buy tickets directly."
Su Yin's explanation was very clear, and Zhang Yiling suddenly realized: "In other words, in China, no matter how unconventional your subject matter is, the box office is likely to be high."
"Yeah, there are so many people here!" Su Yin was a little more confident at this point. She raised her head and said seriously, "So I think our movie might be a big hit!"
"You're here!" Zhang Yiling had a blind admiration for Su Yin: "If you put your face on the poster, there will definitely be a lot of people buying tickets!"
"Ah?" Su Yin held her face in her hands, feigning shyness. "But do you really want to use my face on the poster?"
"Actually, I'd rather use your eyes," Zhang Yiling's tone suddenly became very seductive. "Don't you realize that your eyes are very charming, as if they can speak?"
Seeing that it was getting late, Zhang Yiling sent Su Yin directly back to the hotel.
After watching her grandfather's movies, Zhang Yiling had more ideas about her own work.
I have to say that she is talented in directing movies.
After watching "Crane City by the Sea", Zhang Yiling felt that this was Zhang Yingyuan's best work in his life.
But if she were asked to shoot the film, she would definitely compromise with the market.
In comparison, Zhang Yiling hopes that she can become a person like Zhou Yiyang, who can make movies that are both critically and commercially successful.
When she thought of this name, Zhang Yiling slowly curled up the corners of her mouth.
At this time, Zhou Yiyang announced a very shocking news on his personal Weibo.
Those who watched "Crane City by the Sea" would probably have forgotten that there was no background music in this movie if they had not read Zhou Yiyang's Weibo.
Music is very important in movies. It can be used to express the protagonist's emotions at the moment, and it can also be used to move the audience's hearts.
As a result, in "Crane City by the Sea", the music disappeared, but it did not affect the audience's immersion at all.
Who knew that Zhou Yiyang suddenly officially announced a trailer. It turned out that the movie had a theme song, and it was sung by the protagonist Helian Bei himself.
However, the theme song does not appear in the movie, but will be released next Monday.
If it was just a piece of news like this, it would definitely not attract so much attention from netizens, or even become a hot topic.
Many surfing girls like Tang Yue clicked on Zhou Yiyang’s Weibo. After reading the full text, their expressions changed.
Those who like Moonlight Girl are happy and even excited, while netizens who have always hated all the artists in Yi Yang Entertainment have begun to hate them with hatred.
