All the dangerous stunts in Chapter 208 are real.
"If I had to describe the movie in two words, it would be 'exciting'," Liu Wei said.
"I didn't think there would be many viewers, but the theater was packed," Zhang San said.
"It's no use if we like it. Everyone online is saying that Tianyi's movies are bad. How could they be bad?" Manager Zhou said.
"I saw it too. Compared to other movies, what's wrong with it?"
No one has answered this question.
As time went by, although many people watched the movie on Sundays every day, for some reason, the voices of pessimism online grew louder and louder.
During this period, the most popular movie is "Happy Big Boss," while Zhou Tianyi's movie seems to have been ignored.
With the arrival of the May holiday, the film market experiences a mini-peak, as more people go to the movies during holidays.
However, the arrival of new movies has led to a significant reduction in the number of screenings for some films.
Online discussions about Zhou Tianyi's new movie are dwindling, while the films "Bandits" and "The Swordsman" are generating considerable buzz.
Both of these films are big-budget productions that were heavily promoted even before their release. Now that they've actually started showing, they've attracted the largest audiences of any film.
Xiao Liang was unusually busy. The May Day holiday was a busy time for him. He was busy until about two or three in the afternoon, and he was only able to eat when his colleague came to relieve him.
He was about to go find Xiaoming, but when he arrived at Xiaoming's place, he was surprised to find that he was still busy.
"Is anyone still watching Project Lucky Star?" After Xiaoming rested for a while, Xiaoliang came over and asked.
"Look, more and more people are watching now. I don't know why, even though there are a lot of people online who are pessimistic about it. It's exhausting for me." Xiaoming said, feeling both pain and joy.
"The movie's box office is only around 80 million now, which is seriously inconsistent with the number of viewers," Xiao Liang said, frowning.
"Are you stupid? This movie only made ten yuan at the box office. If it made eighty million, eight million people would have seen it. Other movies would have already broken three hundred million," Xiaoming reminded him.
"Oh yeah, how could I forget about that? I was wondering if our theater was a bit odd, and that's where the relationship problems were. Hmm, thinking about it now, there are actually quite a lot of people watching it," Xiao Liang said.
Xiao Ming nodded: "Of course there are more, even now it's packed."
"Looks like the internet has misled me. Oh well, I'm going to eat. I'm starving."
This is a problem that not only Xiao Liang didn't notice, but many people didn't notice either.
After watching the movie, Gong Xueer kept a close eye on its box office performance. She was quite surprised when she saw that the box office was so low.
It wasn't until later, when I overheard my colleagues chatting, that I remembered that the movie ticket was only ten yuan, and that the movie was generating a lot of buzz on TV and radio, with many people discussing it.
"Why is there so little discussion about the movie online, even though it looks pretty good?"
Gong Xueer was very puzzled. At first, she thought the movie was bad, but later she realized that it wasn't that the movie was bad, but that it was too fake.
Many of the actions look dangerous, but they are actually edited together. Compared to special effects blockbusters, these actions are insignificant.
Over the years, Chinese netizens have been bombarded with countless special effects blockbusters and have long been indifferent to Zhou Tianyi's action movies, not to mention that these are all fake.
This did not alleviate Gong Xueer's doubts; on the contrary, it made her feel very strange. Logically speaking, special effects blockbusters originated in Western countries, so why do Annie and the others like dragons so much?
They must have seen a lot of special effects blockbusters, so they probably wouldn't be interested in a movie about dragons.
With this question in mind, Gong Xueer contacted Annie again to ask her about it.
After hearing this, Annie looked at Gong Xueer with a very strange gaze, making Gong Xueer feel a little embarrassed.
"Just say what you want to say, I'm not crazy."
"Xue'er, we have indeed watched a lot of special effects blockbusters, but dragon movies are not special effects blockbusters."
"I find it strange. Isn't dragon kung fu unique to your Celestial Empire? Why do you seem to be unable to recognize it?"
"Kung Fu?" Gong Xue'er was stunned for a moment, then she realized that it must be the same as martial arts movements, just with a different name.
"That's right. Since you know kung fu, you should be able to tell that the dragon's movements are so fluid and real."
"You, you mean, this wasn't edited by an editor, all the movements in it are real?" Gong Xue'er exclaimed, finally realizing that something was wrong.
Yes, editing can only be done on a single shot. In the movie "Lucky Star Project," all the action scenes are smooth. How could that be achieved through editing?
"Hmm, wait a minute, I remember it was mentioned in the behind-the-scenes footage of Project Lucky Star. Don't you have any behind-the-scenes footage?"
"No, send me the behind-the-scenes footage."
Annie didn't send it over, but she did take a few screenshots and forward them to Gong Xueer.
"Not only that, all the dangerous stunts in this movie are real. Otherwise, why do you think we like Long so much? It's because he really does his movies and performs all the dangerous stunts. No actor has ever been as dedicated as him!"
Anne said seriously, her eyes full of admiration.
Upon hearing this, Gong Xueer fell silent. She suddenly remembered that many people online were saying that these actions were too fake and the editing was too obvious, and she became furious.
After hanging up the phone, Gong Xueer bought a movie ticket and went to the cinema to watch it again. The second time she watched it, she felt completely different.
The first time I watched it, I had no idea that these dangerous stunts were real. Now that I had preconceived notions, after watching it, I truly felt that the movie's box office performance was undeserved.
The surrounding audience noticed Gong Xueer's nervous demeanor, and she occasionally screamed, glanced sideways, and sneered.
"It's like watching a horror movie instead of an action movie, it's too exaggerated." After watching it, someone pointed at Gong Xueer and said this.
Upon hearing this, Gong Xue'er immediately snorted coldly: "What do you know? These actions are all real."
After speaking, leaving the crowd looking at each other in bewilderment, Gong Xue'er turned and left.
She finally understood why so many people in the West liked dragons; no one could match the dragon's ferocity alone.
Just as Gong Xueer was preparing to write an article about what she knew and publish it, her fan club suddenly posted a message on Weibo.
It's a video.
The title is: "Behind-the-Scenes of Project Lucky Star".
This video, which should have been buried, has attracted a lot of attention because it was posted by the fan club.
The appearance of the video was like dropping a stone into a vast ocean, yet it stirred up a storm.
