7.1 points?
As we all know, the scores of ticket purchasing software are inflated. Above 8 points can only be considered not bad, 8.5 and above are watchable, 9 points are not bad, and 9.2 and above are considered good movies.
Of course, this rating system will also change depending on the type of movie.
For youth campus films, since most people who buy tickets to watch them don’t have high requirements for the quality of the film, it is impossible to give them too low a score.
For movies like "Tomorrow Sonata", many people buy tickets to watch it just to fall in love, and they don't care about the quality.
Even in this case, it only got 7.1 points, which is enough to show its quality.
"Hahaha!" Tang Yue laughed heartily after seeing the ratings for "Tomorrow Sonata." "This score is so real! Tsk tsk tsk tsk, I really want to interview that director and see how he feels."
"I should be in a good mood," Lin Xuan'er said with a pout. "The real-time box office is already 150 million. If you add in the screenings that haven't been shown yet, I estimate it'll be around 180 million. That's an incredible result."
"Indeed," Su Yin's expression turned grim. The film's ratings suggested it wasn't of good quality, yet its box office was so high, which made them all feel a little uncomfortable. "The director might be having a celebration right now!"
"Come to think of it," Luo Chen joined their chat, "I have a friend who also went to see this movie and just posted a long review on WeChat Moments!"
Ling Hu tutted his tongue and looked at Luo Chen, then shook his head and said, "Xiao Chen, I think you need to sort out your friend list. How could anyone go to see a movie like this? Shouldn't you reflect on why you haven't deleted him yet?"
"Come on, Brother Hu," Wang Xingrui said with a smile, "Brother Chen, please read it to us quickly. I'm curious about what he said."
Luo Chen cleared his throat and read in a rhythmic manner:
“Ah! Ah! Ah!”
Guan Fei rubbed his eyebrows, looking as if he couldn't bear to listen any longer.
"Don't look at me," Luo Chen shrugged. "He really wrote that! I was so stupid! Really! How could I waste two precious hours of my life just for a free movie ticket!"
"Pfft!" Several girls were amused. They even couldn't wait to go to Dilidili to watch the commentary videos of those complaining up-loaders about the movie.
"I really went for the science fiction gimmick! But the science fiction part is just a setting, an empty framework, without any content!"
"The male lead, yes, is a newcomer, not even as good-looking as me. He is the prince of Planet Alpha! You ask me why aliens look like humans? I don't understand either."
"Then there's this story about Planet Alpha running out of territory and planning to invade Earth, so they send this prince to gather intelligence! There's no special effects in the above part, it's all done with Flash animation! Yes, Flash animation, so retro, so nostalgic!"
After listening to Luo Chen’s friend’s complaints, everyone also understood the plot.
It's really clichéd. The name of the movie should be changed to "The Alien Prince Falls in Love with Me"! And the Star Wars ending was resolved because the heroine kissed the hero in front of the whole world.
Because King Alpha thinks the heroine is very brave and their love is very sincere!
Of course, as people have complained, this movie has no special effects from beginning to end.
"This can also be 180 million?" Wang Xingrui was completely dumbfounded.
"This can also get 7.1 points?" Tang Yue was really angry.
"Stop talking," Guan Fei said nonchalantly. "I've even seen people say this is the director's anti-routine approach, breaking away from the traditional sci-fi mold and using postmodern love to deconstruct sci-fi."
"Is this a cyber army?" Su Yin said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "But we don't have to worry about the box office of 'Dying to Survive'."
Everyone nodded. Because of this little episode, the depression after watching the movie disappeared.
After returning home, everyone paid attention to the first day box office.
Although the box office of "Dying to Survive" failed to surpass "Tomorrow's Sonata" on the first day due to the huge gap in pre-sale box office, starting from the second day, it had crushed the other party in terms of screening, pre-sale and ratings.
The investors of "Tomorrow Sonata", which won the one-day box office championship, are not happy. They are almost being called scammers, and some people on Douyin have started to post topics asking them to return their money.
When they were sad, Zhou Yiyang was very happy. The ratings of Tomorrow Sonata continued to decline, falling below five points on Miaoyan, and Douban's rating started at 3.5.
"Dying to Survive" has a stable score of 9.5, and Douban has even scored 9. This is probably the best result for a domestic film released in theaters in recent years.
Whether it is the director, screenwriter or the actors, they have all received praise from all parties.
"Director Chang," Zhou Yiyang called to congratulate Chang Tiesheng, "I've heard from many people here that you've already secured the Best Director award this time."
"It's not stable, not stable," Chang Tiesheng said modestly, but he could no longer conceal his secretly delighted tone: "Hey, it's mainly because your script is good. In fact, anyone else can shoot it and get the same effect."
"That's still different," Zhou Yiyang complimented, "Your camera movements and shot scheduling are not something that ordinary people can replicate."
"You're such a talker." Chang Tiesheng laughed heartily. "I've thought clearly about what you said before. I'm also willing to join your Logic Films. With a boss as flexible as you, I believe I can make full use of my remaining energy and make a few more good films before I retire."
Helian Bei has been so popular these past two days that even he was stunned.
"Old White, did you buy my recent TikTok data? The likes and comments are too exaggerated."
"How is it fake?" Bai Yangyu said with a smile. "Don't you know that you've almost become a national hero in the eyes of many netizens? They love the role you played so much! If you had managed your Weibo more, you might have surpassed Gao Yanyan and become the top star by now."
"It's not like I haven't been a top star before." Helian Bei said nonchalantly, "It's more realistic to get the Best Actor award."
"Mr. Zhou also plans to send this film abroad, but I don't know if it will win any awards."
"That's great," Helian Bei smiled from the bottom of his heart, "I made the right decision to come to Yiyang Entertainment."
The four members of Yue Shao who had been promoting "Dying to Survive" everywhere these days were now called back by Zhou Yiyang to a small group of only five people.
"It's a good thing to help promote the movie, after all, it's my production. But have you forgotten that your TV series will be released on October 7th, in four days? Don't post on Weibo for the next few days, tone it down, and don't make it sound like a marketing account."
