Chapter 272 Isn't This a Bad Movie?
On the morning of April 5th, Li Qi and Lu Yihong secretly came to Tianhe Cinema to find a corner VIP seat.
Li Qi was very nervous.
Although the investment in this movie is very low and the cast is not very strong, he is looking forward to this movie very much.
A good script, a good script, plus good actors make a good movie.
He felt that although the investment cost of this movie was very low, it was definitely a good movie.
He put in a lot of hard work and effort just to prove himself when the movie is released, to prove that he really has the ability to make sci-fi movies.
Lu Yihong was also a little nervous. After "Buried Alive" became popular, he gained a lot of fans and he felt a little happy that he had succeeded.
He originally thought that he would go on smoothly in Lu Yuan's company, and then the film received soft hands, and then both word-of-mouth and acting skills exploded, and finally he won the Golden Horse Award for Best Actor, and everyone in the industry recognized him...
But I didn't expect to live in Lu Yuan's shadow all the time...
No matter what Lu Yihong does, he will be labeled as Lu Yuan more or less, and no matter how he expresses himself, others still think that he is of little value in "remote" entertainment.
Even others thought he was a supporting role, Lu Yuan's background board.
Every time he auditioned for other crews, the director would ask if Lu Yuan was interested in this movie again.
The feeling of living in Lu Yuan's shadow is really aggrieved.
Lu Yihong is also an extremely proud person in his heart. The more you think he is not good enough, the more he has to prove that he can. Zhao Gao in "The Kingdom of the Qin Emperor" may be a proof point, but it is a pity that "The Kingdom of the Qin Emperor" is still being filmed Among them, it is estimated that the broadcast will not be until the beginning of next year, so the only way for Lu Yihong to prove himself to everyone is the movie "The Man From Earth".
This movie had to be successful, he had to tell everyone that "Xiangyuan" not only had Lu Yuan, but also Lu Yihong.
"Remote" is a team, not a world supported by Lu Yuan alone!
He's not bad either.
At 8:30 in the morning, Li Qi and Lu Yihong watched silently as the audience came in one after another.
"This movie is finally released, and these two dogs can really drag it."
"Yeah, good things take a long time..."
"By the way, are your movie tickets half price?"
"Yeah, isn't everything half price today?"
"It seems that Er Gouzi is not shameless enough to break his promise again, haha, comfortable..."
"There are so many people watching on the Internet, how dare Er Gouzi break his promise, even though he has no bottom line, it is impossible for him to be so bottom line, otherwise, who will watch his movies in the future..."
"It makes sense."
"Speaking of Er Gouzi, I think..."
Li Qi listened to the two college students next to him talking about Lu Yuan endlessly.
He listened carefully to other places, and found that audiences in other places were also discussing similar topics...
He stood up and pushed his hat slightly, and walked around the entire auditorium pretending to be casual, and then he came to a very foolish conclusion.
These people are all talking about Lu Yuan, Er Gouzi, cheating, signatures and other topics.
Few are really discussing movies.
This made Li Qi unable to describe his feelings for a while. He had a feeling that these people came here not to watch this movie but to participate in a symposium called Criticizing "Lu Yuan".
Li Qi didn't know how to describe his mood.
Anyway...
He was a little bit cold.
However, in a sense, it can be seen that Mr. Lu's advertising ability has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and has reached an incredible level. Although Mr. Lu was criticized by these people, at least they all came to the movie theater honestly. Honestly buy a ticket to watch a movie...
Seeing the movie theater was full, Li Qi felt a little better.
Judging from this situation, the premiere box office is not a big problem. Although it is not as good as the Hollywood film "Future You", at least it is no problem compared to the "Stray Pig".
Apart from the box office dark horse "Mad Alien", Li Qi feels that their "This Man From Earth" can still rank second among domestic films.
Thinking of this, Li Qi felt more and more at ease.
……………………………
Chen Cong and Young Master Chen got up early today, and he called a few friends over to watch "The Man From Earth" at his Wantong Cinema, and he booked a special viewing seat for top VIPs.
You said you support domestic science fiction films? Support Lu Yuan? Or enjoy the victory and criticize Lu Yuan like other netizens?
All of this was nonsense to First Young Master Chen.
He simply wanted to see what the hell could be made from such a movie with an investment of less than 200,000 yuan, and he even wanted to know how "bad" this so-called sci-fi movie could be.
Anyway, he's ready to go viral on Weibo.
He has such a temperament, no matter what your status in the entertainment industry is, you can always complain if you are unhappy.
As for his few rich second-generation friends, they also have the same mentality. They also want to see the lower limit of domestic science fiction films...
At 8:30, after the entire theater went dark, advertisements for "Newbark" and "Remote" entertainment appeared on the big screen...
Chen Cong shook his head.
The content of the prologue is exactly the same as that of "The Vagabond". Even if it wasn't for the fact that the lead actor and director had changed the subtitles, Chen Cong would have thought that bastard Lu Yuan had just copied and pasted "The Vagabond" to save money.
Chen Cong shook his head, the tone at the beginning made him almost judge the movie as bad.
………………………
Zhou Shuai, the top spy chief of "Remote" Entertainment, sat in the last row with the other two film critics.
There are not many film critics for "The Man From Earth", and it is completely inferior to "Mad Alien", which suddenly exploded at the box office next door.
This is normal.
From the perspective of investment, this movie is like a child’s play house anyway. No matter how shamelessly you advertise Lu Yuan, they don’t think you can make a good movie with more than 100,000 yuan. .
The point is, science fiction!
right!
What is the impression of science fiction?
Cool special effects, unimaginable brain holes, powerful battles, alien invasion...
What do these need?
They all need money!
Regardless of whether it is China or foreign countries, when it comes to science fiction films, everyone's impression is that they start with tens of millions...
You are more than one hundred thousand...
What can this more than 100,000 do?
Moreover, the director Li Qi also made many people in the circle shake their heads.
He spent tens of millions and couldn't make a sci-fi film. If you pay less than 200,000, how do you play?
Are you kidding me?
To sum up, although the movie theater is full of people, the film critics are not optimistic about this movie at all.
They only regard this movie as a prank with a huge gimmick, and it is even very likely to become a strange flower in the history of Chinese movies, an unsurpassable bad movie...
This is the ending they can imagine.
However, this world is often full of surprises.
After the prologue, the movie finally gets to the point...
This is a quiet and peaceful town, or a place with pretty good scenery.
The male protagonist played by Lu Yihong, a university professor, resigned from his job and was about to leave for an unknown place. Many companions came to see him off...
In the seemingly simple house of the hero, there are Van Gogh paintings, medieval bows and arrows, and prehistoric stone axes. Everything gives people a strange sense of suspense.
The film critics and reporters couldn't help being slightly attracted by this sense of suspense.
The beginning of this film seems to be different from other bad domestic films, at least the production and shooting are unprecedentedly excellent.
The characters also seem to have deep meanings. Among the people who saw him off were historians, religious scientists, biologists, psychologists and other knowledgeable people.
The instinctive sense of smell told the film critics and reporters that this script seems to be very interesting. Although we have been talking and chatting about trivial stories in a very peaceful tone as usual, a sense of progression gradually appeared in the whole plot.
Lu Yihong's acting skills are very good, he played a person with a secret to the fullest, and at the same time the cooperation of others is also very good, as if asking Lu Yihong's various reasons in a decrypted way.
Van Gogh's paintings, medieval bows and arrows and other things also began to become strange hints, and as the plot gradually developed, this hint became stronger and stronger...
This doesn't seem like a bad movie!
At least it's not the same as other bad domestic movies.
The film critics and reporters looked a little astonished.
As for Zhou Shuai, he wrote a big piece of nonsense movie review, which has already been uploaded to Tomato.com.
Do not ask!
The question is to occupy the hot comments and hype as early as possible!
……………………………
The noisy audience fell silent.
The movie manages to grab their attention with its gimmicks.
In the movie, several people sit on chairs and chat awkwardly, and the story of moving is interspersed during the period, and the sky has gradually darkened.
The stove was burning.
As if with a different light.
The hero stands by the fire and announces a startling story.
He comes from the prehistoric world.
The other audience members were stunned, and the audience in the theater was also stunned.
The tone of the main plot seems to have begun to develop suspense...
The person who asked was trying to figure it out, as if he wanted to refute the male lead, but the male lead was very calm, without any panic expression...
"No matter how long a man lives, he cannot surpass his time. He cannot know more than the best of this race..."
"Although I have lived for 14,000 years, it does not mean that I am a genius, all I have is time..."
"I'm always annoyed by people repeating stupid mistakes."
The male protagonist sometimes sighs and sighs, sometimes shakes his head and sighs. Faced with these people's questioning and suspicion, he slowly responded to the past in an understatement process.
The plot gradually began to become depressing and tense. No one knows how far this plot will go. The seemingly absurd trend is so irrefutable and desperate...
The audience seemed to be able to hear their own heartbeats.
They have been completely attracted by the hero's words and such a ridiculous story.
However, all this is just the beginning...
What the actor said next made everyone feel a sense of complete subversion.
Yes, a sense of subversion!
The plot gradually began to move towards a climax...
