Chapter 193 Are You Studying Hollywood Rivals?

On the first day of the new year, the sun gradually set in the west, and the earth began to dim slowly.

This year's New Year's Eve is a great event for the theaters. Basically, all the theaters have put up advertisements for movies that will be released on the first day of this year's New Year's Day.

Of course, these ads are layered.

The advertisements of American Hollywood blockbusters such as "Star Age", "King Kong 1. Origin" and "Killing Aliens" look quite eye-catching when they are directly hung on the biggest sign at the entrance of the cinema, while "Blood Red Age", "Blooming Pinellia" and "Blooming Pinellia" Chinese movies such as Battle Blood and The Vagabond are hung on the aisle inside the cinema. Although they look quite eye-catching, they are completely incomparable with the treatment of American blockbusters. The other one was born by the stepmother.

Even Tianhe Cinemas operates in the same way.

This can't be blamed on the snobbery of theater chains who look down on Huaxia movies, but that Huaxia movies have fallen into a very embarrassing situation at this time.

Especially this year's Spring Festival stalls gave the theaters a feeling that there was nothing they could play.

Many of China's upcoming blockbusters have quietly avoided the Spring Festival, and then postponed to March and April.

Why?

They are afraid!

Hollywood movies are a scourge!

Of course, some directors have tried to compete with Hollywood blockbusters.

And the time is in previous years.

In previous years, China’s great director Li Changrui had made a large investment of 200 million yuan and his team carefully planned and filmed a high-cost movie "Global Disaster". A month before the movie was released, some clips of the movie were released in the promotional video. .

The film editing is very well cut, and the visual effect of the special effects is also very strong.

After watching the editing, the plot and the cast, netizens felt that this might be the pinnacle of a Chinese sci-fi blockbuster that can go abroad. They had a very high evaluation of this movie and their expectations were also very high!

Li Changrui's team also worked hard, and directly typed out the slogan "The Rise of Chinese Science Fiction", just like a hero.

In this era when Chinese sci-fi films are withering and being beaten by Hollywood, all movie fans are eager for a hero.

This is an essential national complacency.

The emergence of "Global Disaster" made them feel that the hero in their hearts had emerged.

On the day of the premiere, movie fans rushed to the theaters to support them enthusiastically. In fact, the premiere performance of "Global Disaster" was very good. The box office record at the premiere is close to that of the Hollywood movie "Night of the Vampire" in the same period.

However, when director Li Mingrui and other directors were preparing for a big fight, the box office dropped by 10 million the next day!

Instead of increasing, it decreased.

Li Mingrui was a little confused.

Then look at the reviews on the Internet.

Seeing this, he was even more confused.

The Internet is full of scolding.

The plot is difficult, the actor's lines are not distracting, the special effects editing looks really good, but in fact it's just a good editing, the real content is shoddy and unattractive, and this shooting technique is even more plagiarized from American blockbusters Nothing new!

In short, the messy bad reviews filled the Internet in an instant.

The more you look forward to this movie, the more disappointed you will be when you put it on the altar and find out that the movie is a chicken.

The feeling of falling from the altar is very uncomfortable.

Although "Global Catastrophe" finally won the box office of the month with a box office of 250 million yuan, it was actually not due to the film itself but the popularity of the fans of the big star Xu An and the results of countless advertising investments.

As for director Li Mingrui?

Li Mingrui was sprayed like a dog.

After spraying it for a full year, I still can't get back to my senses.

This was a blow to Li Mingrui, and it was also a blow to Huaxia's movie fans!

Fans are waking up.

Yes, wake up.

Huaxia movies can't be said to be bad, but compared with Hollywood, the gap is not a little bit big.

So even if Li Mingrui continues to bring his over 100 million investment movie "Battle Blood" to regain confidence and want to compete with Hollywood movies this year, in fact, not many netizens feel that the two have the strength to fight.

Thank God if you don't get crushed, you still want to fight?

What a joke!

Stop throwing shame on the world.

Because of this general environment, this year's Spring Festival stalls are still dominated by those few Hollywood movies, and other Chinese movies will be slightly behind...

After all, it is the general trend.

Netizens are generally not optimistic about the box office of Chinese movies during the Spring Festival this year.

There are already some netizens on the Internet who have figured out the box office results and final rankings of this year's movies. Although the details of the rankings have changed a lot, none of the top three box office movies are Chinese movies, starting from the fourth place. There are Chinese movies such as "Blood Red Age" and "Wanderer"...

It looked dire.

Lost before fighting.

……………………………

"Director Shen, smoke less, I dare not say anything else about the box office this year, but we can still guarantee the fourth one."

"Fourth... Hehe, have I fallen to the point where I want to fight for the fourth place... That's right, the top three are all Hollywood blockbusters, so it's really amazing to be able to fight for the fourth place."

"This... Director Shen, the last time "The Capital" was just an accident, really..."

"Fatty Wei's "The Vagabond" has been gaining momentum recently, right?"

"Yeah, the momentum is indeed quite strong, but the investment in their advertisements is not as strong as ours..."

"It's all advertised on the Spring Festival Gala, and you still say that it's not as strong as ours?"

"Uh, this..." the assistant lowered his head.

He suddenly realized that he really had no way to refute.

"However, although the commercials of "The Vagabond" are indeed fierce, his box office is not necessarily strong. Lu Yuan is indeed very good at writing songs and scripts, but he is an actor... huh... Forget it, "Vagabond" "I hope it doesn't become a bottom-line joke."

"Yeah, and I heard that the script this time wasn't written by Lu Yuan, it was written by a new screenwriter, new screenwriter, new director, and new actor. In addition to Lu Yuan, the whole movie has a bit of traffic. Everything else is nonsense, so Director Shen, we don't have to worry about this "Wanderer" at all."

"Hehe, do you think I'm focusing on "The Wanderer"? I'm focusing on "The Age of Blood". Zhang Tong's "The Age of Blood" is not simple. The big name Ning Feng... this movie is probably our fourth strongest competitor."

"Well, yes, I thought so too."

Shen Lianjie is still so handsome, still so charming.

However, he had stubble on his chin, and he looked very miserable.

He used to be an ambitious director, and even wanted to win a battle with "The Capital".

But……

He came across "Buried Alive."

Then he was hung up by "Buried Alive" and beaten.

No, it can't be said to be slapped, it is simply not even qualified to fight with it...

A few days after the release, I was directly out of the game.

This hit him very hard, and even made him a little suspicious of life.

After sinking for a month, Jet Shen finally gritted his teeth again and fought again!

He wants to wash away his past shame!

This time he is filming "Flowers Pinellia", which is a literary film adapted by a famous author. This film is quite popular both on the Internet and in real life. With the help of Little Fresh Meat Liu Weiting and the newly promoted Xiaohuadan Zhang Jiajia, of course, there are also a bunch of old actors joining in...

These are all his reliance on the box office!

At this moment, his vision is only "Blood Red Age".

After one failure, some things about Shen Lianjie have actually changed quietly. His shooting techniques, his sculpting of the film, and his control of the plot are completely different.

He is trying to improve.

Of course, some things have not changed.

For example, he looked down on "Buried Alive" half a year ago, and he still looks down on "The Vagabond" half a year later.

after all……

Counterattack?

You always have a reason to counterattack, right?

A new screenwriter, a new director, a new actor...

What do you use to counterattack?

Even if the advertisement is well done, what is the use?

What a joke!

Will movie fans support you because of your awesome advertising?

If this is the case, why did the "Capital" advertisement fail?

………………………

Night fell.

Tianhe Cinema is very lively.

There are couples who come and go arm in arm and young people who meet in twos and threes.

This time of year is a good time for dating. What can couples do after dinner?

Go outside to play?

It's so cold outside, what are you playing? Playing with a cold?

Drink coffee?

Who drinks coffee after a meal?

direct?

There is a process in everything, step by step, you don't say whether the girl is willing or not, even if she is willing, it doesn't have any sentimentality, does it?

Therefore, their best choice is to make an appointment with men and women to watch a movie, and make a foreshadowing for the evening's emotional sports, isn't it?

After Wang Jinxue saw the couples in front of her, she subconsciously looked at Lu Yuan.

After seeing Lu Yuan's appearance, he shook his head.

Lu Yuan put his hands in his pockets, looked at this and that, looking like he didn't know where to evacuate his attention.

In fact, no matter in the original world or in this world, the number of times Lu Yuan watched movies was pitifully small.

Especially reborn into this world...

In half a year, Lu Yuan went to the cinema once, and it was on the day "Buried Alive" was released...

It's not that Lu Yuan doesn't like watching movies, but what kind of movies does Lu Yuan watch as a single dog?

After watching the movie, do you go home and watch gourd dolls to entertain yourself?

Lu Yuan doesn't have this hobby.

"nervous?"

"fine."

"Our pre-sale tickets are all sold out, and the two additional shows are all sold out, so the box office on the first day cannot be bad."

"Well, by the way, have you seen "Killing Aliens"?"

""Kill the Alien"?"

"Um."

"What's wrong?"

Wang Jinxue felt a little strange seeing Lu Yuan standing in front of the poster of "Killing Aliens".

"The advert for this movie seems to be attractive."

"Yes, it's a Hollywood blockbuster after all, so the special effects are definitely different."

"Oh, do you have a ticket?"

"I have tickets, and I have two seats for each movie."

"Give me one."

"You want to watch this one?"

"Well, anyway, the premiere of "The Wanderer" is still early at 8:30..."

"Do you want to study your opponent in advance?"

"No ah."

"Lu Yuan, although I have great confidence in "Wanderer" and feel that this movie can be a big hit, but the gap with "Killing Aliens" can be said to be one sky and one earth. I think we should focus on China for the time being. In the movie." Wang Jinxue was silent for a while and then spoke her mind.

"Um, that's not what I mean, I just want to see it."

"Yes, you will be hit."

"Shock what, I really just want to be a spectator... I don't compare, in fact, I have always had a strong interest in science fiction movies."

"Oh, let's go and see."

"it is good."

After Lu Yuan turned his head and looked at Wang Jinxue's expression, he knew that Wang Jinxue didn't trust his words.

Of course, he didn't explain anything, after all, some things are useless no matter how they are explained.

Wang Jinxue took out two tickets from the bag and handed them to Lu Yuan. After seeing the tickets, Lu Yuan put them away and walked towards the movie room of "Killing Aliens".

"Sorry, due to the large number of people in the theater, in order to avoid unnecessary situations, please take off your sunglasses and hats, please actively cooperate, thank you."

"okay……"

"Eh? Wait, are you Lu Yuan?"

"Wow, it's really Lu Yuan!"

"Wow, he's Lu Yuan!"

"????"

"Here, is Lu Yuan watching a movie?"

"No, Er Gouzi's movie is "The Wanderer", not Hall 5, right? I remember it was in Hall 3."

"Then why did he run to Hall 5?"

"Wait, when my movie is about to be released, I went to hall 5 to watch "Killing Aliens". This operation...I really don't understand."

"Me too……"

"Don't support your own movies, but other people's movies? Is it so coquettish?"

"What is he doing? Giving up on himself so soon?"

"Wait, is this guy studying his opponent?"

"No, to study your opponents, you should also read "Blood Red Age" and "Battle Blood". What about "Killing Aliens"? Are they at the same level?"

"Is he bloated?"

"??"

……………………

"??"

"?"

"At this juncture, is he going to support other movies?"

"Did he feel that his "Wanderer" could turn "Kill Alien"?"

"Are you kidding, is it so inflated?"

"???"

When someone uploaded a photo of Lu Yuan watching "Killing Aliens" on the Internet and accompanied it with a video of Lu Yuan sitting on the seat holding popcorn and eating with relish, waiting for the movie to start, netizens were also shown by Lu Yuan's coquettish manipulation shocked.

They didn't feel that Lu Yuan was watching a movie.

After all, his movie will premiere soon, and he is sure to support his movie.

Then……

Netizens also thought of that possibility.

Then the netizens had fun...

Is the research opponent so inflated? >
