The promotion of the two films began almost at the same time.
Although the filming of Director Liu's movie starring Fu Yunxi was completed in advance, the post-production editing took a long time.
In order to get his movie released during the holidays, Director Shi rushed through the time-consuming post-production.
He is very confident in his special effects this time, after all, he is using a foreign special effects team.
He was sure that there was no other film in the country that had such special effects.
With so much money invested, the film will definitely achieve good results.
He also looked at his competitors of the same period. The only director who was of the same status as him, Director Liu, was making a campus movie.
What kind of box office can a campus movie have? No matter how well it is made, it will only make a few hundred million.
Director Shi's eyes were full of disdain, and Director Liu was getting worse and worse.
I remember when he and he were making movies at the same time, the other one was much more popular than his.
But nowadays he keeps up with the progress of the times, uses foreign technology, and focuses on making the plot exciting.
Director Liu has been the same for ten years and has made countless campus films.
Do you still think that campus movies can always occupy the film market?
Only young boys and girls like youth films, but for movies with good special effects, the audience is much wider and everyone, regardless of gender or age, can watch them.
"Director Shi, what do you think about your upcoming movie?" a media interviewed.
Seeing the entertainment reporter's fawning face, Director Shi felt even more proud of himself for being able to leave so many films in film history.
"My film has never been seen before in China. I hope it can create the beginning of science fiction films in the history of Chinese film." Director Shi said this with great passion, and even his eyebrows seemed to be dancing.
Even if someone asked about the negative news about the heroine of this movie on Weibo a few days ago, Director Shi didn't care too much.
Of course, he told the media, "There's no definitive evidence for these things, so let's focus on the movie first."
In fact, what he was thinking in his heart was that his movies mainly relied on special effects and other actors, so what if the heroine had some negative news!
On the other hand, Director Liu’s interview was much more low-key.
Director Liu bowed and said, "I feel that my film still has a lot of shortcomings. This is just a simple youth film, and the actors have worked hard. I hope everyone can support these young actors."
So after the movie was released, most people went to watch Director Shi's movie to see how good the special effects were.
Director Shi is also a famous director. Since he said so, it should be good this time.
Who would have thought that after watching it, all the people gave it one-star bad reviews.
"This movie has no sincerity at all. It has a messy plot and is labeled as a science fiction film."
"The acting of these two actresses is so awkward. It's such a waste of good actors!"
Anyway, there were a lot of complaints online, and the movie score dropped directly to six points. It is very rare for it to drop to six points on the first day.
After all, movie investors themselves will also hire people to give high scores.
How low would the scores be given by people who actually watched the movie?
On the other hand, although not many people went to see the movie starring Fu Yunxi at the beginning, slowly, as word of mouth got better and better, more and more people went to see it, and some even watched it twice or three times.
Therefore, the movie was broadcast for more than a month, and the box office was increasing day by day.
On the contrary, Director Shi's film, which he claimed would create "the beginning of science fiction films in Chinese film history", flopped without any sparks and he didn't even earn back the money he invested in the film.
