[A highly completed commercial film, with both smoothness and coordination, with values ​​higher than the average of domestic films, and the actors' tacit understanding raises the popularity, 8.5 points]

[To be honest, I'm a little disappointed. It's not as surprising as the last movie "Famous", but it's not bad either. People who don't have high requirements for movies can watch it.]

[The method of overlapping time and space is actually not new, but Wei Yang can always give new surprises]

[Fan Bingbing is beautiful, and Wei Yang is unexpectedly cute. These two actors are such a plus]

[It has been proven that the only person who can shoot Fan... well is Wei Yang. After My Love from the Star, only Fame and Time Traveler: The Legend of Mi Yue can really capture the charm of this Asian goddess. I strongly suggest that the two of them tie the knot]

[If it was at the beginning of the year, a 7 would be enough for this movie, but after watching "Tiny Times", I think this movie is really great]

[The plot structure is actually a bit old-fashioned. Anyway, the film is fully set up in the middle and late stages, and you can basically guess the subsequent plot. It can only be said to be above average, but the advantage is that the emotional line is very sweet. As a love movie, this is a big plus.]

[It turns out that although Wei Yang is a scumbag in real life, he can really portray a good man. Lu Ming in the movie is kind, honest and upright. I want to marry him.]

[I give the movie five stars, but I deducted two stars for the last Easter egg about single people (angry)]

【……】

Compared with its booming box office, the word of mouth of "Time Raiders" is actually somewhat restrained overall.

It is definitely not a bad movie that everyone would criticize, but it has not received much praise either.

Overall, the reviews were rather mediocre, with an initial Douban score of only 6.9 points. Later, as the box office became popular, it rose a bit, and currently barely maintains around 7 points.

This score is not as good as Wei Yang's film debut "Famous", which scored 7.6 points and peaked at 7.8.

Normally, Chinese-language films that can get a Douban score of 8 are all excellent works. Even many classic films only get a score of just over 8, and some even get less than 8.

"To Be Famous" has a score of 7.8, which to some extent can barely be called a quasi-classic.

However, although it is not as good as "Famous", the value of "Time Raiders" with a Douban score of 7 is not low.

As far as the current Lunar New Year box office is concerned, "Time Raiders" is second only to Ning Hao's "No Man's Land".

"Drug War" later received a high score on Douban, but a lot of the reasons were due to its use of memes and its subsequent resurgence in popularity.

Many viewers loved the movie and had a better impression of it, giving it high scores. "Drug War" has just been released and has not yet had a ghost filter. Its Douban score is roughly the same as "Time Raiders", but the number of people who rated it is much smaller, so it ranks behind.

More importantly, this year is the "first year of bad movies", and the summer blockbusters "Tiny Times" and "Dwelling in Fuji" have really opened the eyes of Chinese movie fans.

In such a comparison, "Time Raiders" becomes particularly pleasing to the eye, even valuable.

So many times, you don’t need to be very outstanding, as long as you do better than your peers, you can win without fighting.

The "mediocre" reputation did not affect the box office performance of "Time Raiders", and even created a relatively favorable public opinion environment.

At the moment, it is not obvious, but after "Personal Tailor" and "New Police Story 2013" are released, it will immediately explode and take off.

As I said, no matter how hard you try, it is not as good as being compared to your peers.

After realizing that "Time Raiders" had a pretty good reputation, Wei Yang couldn't wait for "Private Tailor" to be released.

Judging from the information he knew, combined with some information from his previous life, it would definitely be fun to watch...

…

On December 19, "Time Raiders" had been released for a full week. The real-time box office in the afternoon was 428 million yuan. If the evening box office is included, it is expected to exceed 450 million yuan.

After all, the last few days were non-working days, so the box office was obviously not as good as the previous days, but the average daily data of nearly 50 million was also perfect.

This is inseparable from the crazy publicity and promotion by Wei Yang and Fan Xiaopang, which included the promotion of the next episode of the Korean special of "Running Man" and appearances in many popular variety shows. It is no exaggeration to say that the two are almost dominating the hot search list.

This concentrated promotional approach, which focuses more on the beginning and less on the end, actually somewhat overdraws the film's box office potential in the later stages.

However, this was also within the team's expectations. After all, they would have to face two powerful enemies head-on, and no one knew what the outcome would be, so it was better to take a gamble in the early stages.

As long as the box office revenue in the early stage is high enough, not only can you take advantage of the initiative, but you can also be more relaxed and sit back and relax. Even if the three companies lose the competition in the later stage, the movie has made enough money.

Judging from the current data, "Time Raiders" has perfectly implemented the strategy of frantically grabbing box office revenue in the early stages.

It also allows "Time Raiders" and Wei Yang to accept any subsequent results.

It’s just a pity for movies released at the same time, such as “The Storm” and “The Four 2”.

"Time Raiders" was on full blast, and these movies were once swept away.

The screening schedule was cut to a minimum of 30% by a few companies, and the screening schedule of "No Man's Land" even reached single digits. It is said that Ning Hao almost called Boss Wei to complain.

But there is nothing we can do about it. Not only does Boss Wei have connections, but the box office is also really good.

In the daily box office, "Time Raiders" has accounted for no less than 60% of the total box office, and its peak was close to 80%. Cinemas must give priority to movies that can make money.

However, with the release of "Personal Tailor" today, the good days of "Time Raiders" are over, at least it is impossible for it to "eat alone".

The title of King of the Lunar New Year Movie is no joke!

Even though "Time Traveler" is in full swing and has accumulated a lot of early advantages, it still managed to secure 35% of the screening time.

If it weren't for "Time Raiders", we would probably have been able to get 50%.

In Xingcheng, Wei Yang, Fan Xiaopang and several crew members who had finished work in the evening booked a theater to watch "Private Tailor" and investigate the enemy situation.

This kind of thing is very common in the entertainment industry. Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you deal with it with ease.

Liu Tianxian and his friends are afraid of "Time Raiders" and regard it as their biggest enemy. "Time Raiders" is also very wary of "Private Tailor", so they watch it in a group.

As for booking the theater, it was not to aid the enemy, nor was it because Wei Yang had too much money to spend, but because they wanted to analyze and discuss the movie, and there were so many people and the noise would inevitably affect other viewers' normal viewing.

So we simply booked a theater so that everyone could discuss freely, and people like Wei Yang who were not convenient to show their faces could also feel more comfortable.

Fat Fan glanced at the production assistant who was crunching potato chips in front of him, forced his eyes away, and talked to Wei Yang to divert his attention.

"Do you think this movie can catch up with us?"

Fan Xiaopang said this with great pride. The box office of "Famous" has exceeded 500 million yuan, and "Time Raiders" has already secured 500 million yuan. If we are bolder, it may even reach 800 million yuan.

She also became the leading lady in two hit movies, and her cumulative box office ranked among the top among many actresses.

But "Time Traveler" is a love movie, and it even has many shadows of a chick flick. She is the serious core and accounts for a large proportion of the success of the entire movie.

It can be said that with these two movies, if anyone says that Fan Xiaopang is a carpet star, then they are completely lying.

The booming box office of the movie also made Fan Xiaopang's ambitions grow.

Now she is no longer content with "Time Raiders" merely being a box office hit, she also wants to dominate the Lunar New Year box office and secure the top three spots in the 2013 Chinese-language film box office.

The movie that has been released so far, "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", which has broken the box office record for Chinese-language films, firmly holds the first place.

Zhao's "So Young" was the runner-up with a box office of 719 million yuan, and Xu Ke's "Detective Dee: The Mystery of the Phantom Flame" ranked third with a box office of just over 600 million yuan.

If it can maintain the data, "Time Raiders" has a great chance of making it into the top three, but the prerequisite is that it will not be overtaken by "Private Tailor" and Jackie Chan's dramas.

“It’s hard to say.”

Wei Yang did not make any rash promises. After all, in his memory, the box office data of the movie "Private Customization" was not bad.

Even though there are variables now and he has made a lot of arrangements, no one can say for sure what the outcome will be. At least before the relevant data comes out, he dare not say that he is very sure.

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

"You are just too cautious. I think we have a great chance of winning. Mr. Feng is no match for you."

Fan Xiaopang has great confidence in Wei Yang, and the situation of "Super Time Cohabitation" is indeed very good.

On the other hand, Fan Xiaopang actually privately hopes that Huayi and Feng Kuzi will suffer a big loss.

Fan Xiaopang has no old feelings for Huayi, her old employer. On the contrary, Huayi is a sad place for her. The breakup was not pleasant for both parties and they were even quite resentful. She also has no good feelings towards Feng Kuazi, the so-called "mentor".

This old guy has always been arrogant towards the people below him, looks down on others, and has a sharp tongue. Many people who work with him don't like him.

In her previous life, for various reasons, Fan Xiaopang had to seek cooperation and curry favor with others. Now that she has Wei Yang's support, she hopes that Huayi will become more and more miserable in the future, and it would be best if it could give up its position as the leader in the industry to Blue Whale.

Fan Xiaopang sees this battle against "Private Customization" as a kind of "revenge". She hopes to vent her anger from the past.

"I'm not sure whether I can win or not, but I can help you vent your anger, so there is hope."

"real?!"

Fan Xiaopang was extremely surprised. Wei Yang smiled, kept it a secret and asked her to wait for a few days.

His relationship with Huayi was not very harmonious to begin with, and there was even some old grudge between them. As long as it did not affect the overall situation, he was willing to take advantage of the situation and betray the other party.

Originally it was for my own comfort, but now I can kill two birds with one stone, make a beautiful woman smile, and it’s not bad to get some benefits in return.

The two of them were chatting while the movie started playing. Fat Fan just came to join in the fun, but the others were working overtime and discussed things with each other from time to time. Many of them took out their phones, lowered the brightness, and recorded some key points.

Boss Wei didn't take notes. He had watched this movie several times and had a certain understanding of many details of the plot.

To be honest, the movie "Personal Tailor" is not bad, and it can even be said to be a very likable commercial film.

Especially the unit with Fan Wei is a classic, with highly ironic black humor, sharp lines and many golden sentences.

"Use this to test the cadres. Which cadre cannot withstand such a test?"

"I want to challenge my weak spot."

“There are bad people among the crowd!”

“…”

Even though Wei Yang had watched it more than once, he still couldn't help but smile when he saw this part.

As for other parts, the director who is obsessed with elegance and Song Dandan pretending to be a rich woman buying a house were also handled well and made people laugh.

But then again, apart from these few plots, the rest of the story is really mediocre and the connections are very fragmented, a bit like a collection of jokes.

As for Wei Yang, he felt that Feng Kuzi did not take the film seriously at all and could clearly sense some perfunctoriness.

Rumor has it that this movie was made after "1942" lost money, and Feng Kuzi made this movie specifically to make money, so the level of care was not high.

Take the same type of film "Party A and Party B" for example. The whole movie is a big loop within a small loop, with a brisk pace, a warm atmosphere, a beginning and an end, and it clearly depicts the story of a group of young people with dreams and lives.

"Personal Customization" throws out the setting of a "dream-fulfilling" company, and then piles up unit plots.

There is no main storyline. The protagonists are shouting slogans and tossing around, just to realize their dreams. They are like a group of tools, giving the audience an indelible sense of separation.

Coupled with a large number of advertisements and scene promotions, the movie loses the lifelike nature of "Party A and Party B" and adds a bit of false and cheap feeling.

To put it bluntly, this movie was entirely supported by the wonderful performances of the screenwriter, Ge You, and several supporting actors including Fan Wei and Song Dandan.

It's by no means a bad movie, but it's hardly a good movie of any quality either.

The most important thing is that this is Feng Kuzi's work that is based on his old work, a complete rehash of "Party A and Party B".

It's not that rehashing old stuff is not allowed, there are just too many people in the entertainment industry who rehash old stuff.

But others can have it, but for a director of Feng Kuzi's level, the industry and the outside world have very high expectations of him. They don't want him to stay in his comfort zone, but to forge ahead and make progress for the Chinese film industry.

Under such circumstances, many people saw Feng's living off his old capital as a waste of time and a sign of self-degradation.

What’s even more horrifying is that he couldn’t even rehash old stuff properly!

If Feng Kuzi really makes a "Party A and Party B 2", even if it's just relying on his old reputation, I guess many people will recognize and support it. A good movie can overwhelm everything.

But if you come up with something that's neither fish nor fowl - "Private Customization" and even seems to be destroying your own reputation - then get ready to be criticized.

As expected by Wei Yang, after the release of "Personal Tailor", major film critics and veteran movie fans were all excited.

Many people criticized the movie and Feng Kuzi harshly, and even his die-hard fans and moviegoers turned from love to hate, and became so disappointed in him that they turned from fans to haters and started to criticize him crazily.

Being criticized for making movies is common for directors, and most of them have long since become indifferent to it.

But Feng Pants, who is known as "Feng Cannon", is definitely not one of them. He directly scolded those who scolded him on Weibo...
