A box office of 50 million on its opening day is already a very good start for "Genki Girl".
The initial investment from the Shi Group was 50 million.
However, Shi Xi later used her own money, and Xie Yunzhou also invested, with the total cost approaching 100 million.
All I can say is that making movies is incredibly expensive.
Xie Yunzhou asked, "What's wrong?"
Shi Xi put away her phone, came back to her senses, and said, "It's nothing, let's eat."
Xie Yunzhou hit the nail on the head: "Worried about the movie's box office?"
"It's alright. Judging from this momentum, we should make a profit." Shi Xi thought of something and asked, "Did you buy the box office?"
Xie Yunzhou denied it, saying, "No."
Shi Xi observed Xie Yunzhou's expression, trying to determine whether he really hadn't bought tickets.
Never mind, I can't tell.
"Have some soup." Xie Yunzhou picked up a small bowl and served Shi Xi a bowl of duck soup.
If this topic isn't discussed, the two of them get along quite well.
After finishing their meal, Shi Xi bought two tickets for the movie "Bio-Man".
Shi Xi: "Want to go see a movie together?"
Xie Yunzhou really wanted to go to the movies with the girl, but an unexpected meeting call interrupted their date.
"Sorry, I have something urgent to take care of back home. I'll accompany you next time." Although Xie Yunzhou was love-struck, the matter he had to take care of back home was related to Shi Xi.
“Okay… I’ll go with Zhu Lin.” Shi Xi pursed her lips.
What could be more important than her?
She, a career-driven woman, was willing to put her career aside to go on a date with him.
But Shi Xi doesn't have any work today.
Moreover, going to see Nanwan's movie with Xie Yunzhou just didn't feel right.
After all, the two of them knew each other, and if he couldn't help but say something bad about Nan Wan...
But with Zhu Lin, there's no need to worry.
She'll definitely say bad things about Nan Wan, but there's no need to worry about her image collapsing.
Shi Xi: I'm not the female lead, I can't be magnanimous towards the enemy.
Even Ning Yu didn't like Shi Xi at first.
Worried about being recognized, Shi Xi bought a movie ticket for a seat at the back.
Fortunately, the cinema was quite large, with a full schedule of screenings and some tickets still available.
Judging from ticket sales, both "Bio-Man" and "Genki Girl" had high attendance rates.
After all, today is the first day of release, and fans of both films, or young people who like to watch movies, will choose the newly released film.
After seeing Xie Yunzhou off, Shi Xi went to find Zhu Lin.
While surfing the internet, Zhu Lin whispered to Shi Xixi, "I just read the comments on 'Bio-Man,' and all the casual viewers in the live chat are giving it bad reviews! Only a few fans are trying to salvage it."
Shi Xi opened her phone and went online to take a look.
Both movies were released today and both trended on social media.
However, Nanwan spent more money, which immediately made it to the top of the trending searches.
Before the movie was shown, the comments section was relatively mild.
Looking forward to Nan Wan's new movie!
"The future of Nanwan is promising!"
Congratulations to Nan Wan on becoming a Hollywood movie actress!
They're all just showering me with compliments.
But after the first movie ended, the tone of the comments section gradually changed.
[Biogenic, terrible, terrible movie, terrible movie! I can't stress this enough!]
[Spoiler alert! The movie is terrible! The central character is a cyborg who sacrifices himself to save humanity.]
But why would the male protagonist, a cyborg, want to save humanity? At least give a reason! What's the central message?
They want to promote culture, protect the environment, and express humanism, so they force it and try to be sentimental!
The scene where the male lead dies at the end is so awkward, I almost scratched my toes.
[When the male lead died, the girl in front of me said, "Finally dead."]
Those who can finish watching are truly brave; I couldn't resist leaving halfway through.
These are just normal criticisms of the film, and they haven't yet dragged Nan Wan into it.
However, Nanwan's fans are very similar to Nanwan herself.
Upon seeing others say the movie is bad, they immediately start defending it.
"The whole movie is about cyborgs saving humanity. This kind of cross-species rescue is what really touches people's hearts! Those who don't understand Hollywood movies shouldn't embarrass themselves."
"To be honest, I didn't expect everyone to give it such bad reviews! I was completely shocked after watching it; this is definitely the best movie I've ever seen."
"Are the fans next door jealous and deliberately giving us bad reviews?"
"Have these people even seen the movie? If not, shut up! Giving it a bad review with your eyes closed?"
Needless to say, when someone calls out "next door," they're definitely referring to Shi Xi.
Nanwan's fans are only targeting Shixi.
However, it inadvertently harmed many ordinary moviegoers.
[Hilarious! A sci-fi fan of ten years, I only went to see *The Cyborg* because it had a sci-fi label. The best movie? Sci-fi movies from ten years ago were better than this!]
[You said you'd never seen a sci-fi movie, right? The special effects for this show are all in the trailer. The action is terrible, the special effects are terrible, the acting is awkward, and the plot is garbage. I'd give it one star if I could.]
[Fans, stop defending her. The reason we're not criticizing Nan Wan is because the entire drama is terrible. The moment Nan Wan's face appears, you know she's an actress, but if you didn't, you'd think she was an extra.]
These people all posted pictures of their movie tickets when they commented.
But Nanwan's fans simply wouldn't listen.
"It was Shi Xi's fans who maliciously left negative reviews!"
"If you like it, don't comment. Did I beg you to comment? Just because you don't like it doesn't mean others don't."
I spent tens of dollars and wasted two hours watching a movie, and now I'm not even allowed to comment?
The discussion (and criticism) under the trending topic of "Bio-Man" is in full swing, and the discussion is much more heated than that of "Kamisama Kiss".
When Shi Xi saw these comments, she thought to herself, "After all, it's a Hollywood movie. Even if it's bad, it can't be as bad as the netizens say, right?"
It's probably because sci-fi fans are too picky.
Fans of science fiction are very discerning when it comes to both movies and novels.
The more you study science fiction, the more you understand it, which is why you tend to comment on new science fiction movies.
With this in mind, Shi Xi watched the movie with Zhu Lin.
Three minutes later, Shi Xi realized that it might be her own problem; she hadn't understood what the movie was about.
Five minutes later, Shi Xi said: "It seems like something's not quite right."
Ten minutes later, Shi Xi commented: "Terrible movie, netizens were right."
After enduring the sight for twenty minutes, Shi Xi noticed that some people in the movie theater had already fallen asleep.
Shi Xi asked Zhu Lin in a low voice, "Shall we go?"
Watching any further is a waste of time.
Zhu Lin did not answer.
Shi Xi looked over in confusion and found that Zhu Lin was sleeping soundly.
Shi Xi: ... speechless.
Seeing that Zhu Lin was fast asleep, Shi Xi didn't wake her up. Like most people in the movie theater, she picked up her phone and started playing.
The trending topic "Bio-Man" has backfired, with people commenting on how bad it is after watching it.
However, the comments under the trending topic "Energetic Girl" were full of positive reviews.
