Chapter 497 The Box Office on the First Day of "A Chinese Journey to the West"

"I seem to see from this movie the self I used to be, the self who was once ambitious, who once compromised with the world, and later put on a golden hoop for the so-called supernatural powers. I know that many people may be full of enthusiasm for this work. I feel that this work is too messy with illogical and nonsensical plots, but, but...have you noticed that behind these nonsensical things, there is actually a hint...a kind of story from innocence to growth, to A hint of loneliness..." Chen Mo, a well-known film critic, silently expressed his views on his Weibo after watching Westward Journey.

"In fact, I have been drowsy watching the first half of the plot, because I think the first half of the plot is so unreasonable that I can't even get up to watch it. However, after the second half of the movie, accompanied by After watching the sound of "The Reeds", I suddenly realized that this movie might have a reversal. Unexpectedly, I guessed it right... Whether it is the innocence of Zixia Fairy, or the helplessness of Zhizunbao, whether it is other little people It seems that they are us...I feel sorry for not being able to act in this movie...I signed up for director Lu's film twice and was rejected twice..." Liu Fangfei, a well-known Joaquin artist, commented "A Chinese Journey to the West" liked it, and then there was a trace of emotion in Weibo, which seemed to be a little bit sad.

"If this movie is regarded as an art movie, then it is a failure. However, if it is regarded as a finished product to read a person's life and reflect the helplessness of a small person, he is very substituting... Who in the movie is not a small person ? Was the Supreme Treasure before becoming the Monkey King a small person? Even after becoming the Monkey King, wouldn’t the Monkey King be considered a small person? This is a kind of sorrow, the sorrow of all of us..." Sociologist He Wangchuan also made a headline on Weibo at the same time...

"This is a comedy and a tragedy at the same time. If you really want to interpret it, then I think this movie is fate, your fate, my fate, everyone's fate..."

"This is……"

In the eyes of some experienced people, "A Chinese Journey to the West" is indeed a tear-jerking movie.

Behind all the nonsense, they heard a deep sense of powerlessness.

They find it touching.

"A Chinese Journey to the West", which had already scored a low score of 3.0 on Tomato.com, suddenly rose to prominence after the first screening of the film. It rose to 6.7 in just a few hours. "A Chinese Journey to the West" immediately reached the third place, and even "A Chinese Journey to the West" also hit the second place on Tomato.com's rating list of cutting-edge movies, second only to "Dream Traveler"...

Of course, in a sense, this "Journey to the West" is really a wonderful and controversial movie.

In other words, "Journey to the West" is really wonderful.

Why?

Because "A Chinese Journey to the West" actually occupied the first place on another list,

It is tens of thousands more than the second-ranked bad film "The Third Under Heaven"...

This list is called the New Cutting-Edge Movie Bad Review List!

Bad reviews?

Yes!

What shocked everyone in the Huaxia movie circle was that "A Chinese Journey to the West", another cutting-edge movie on the negative review list, turned out to be even more aggressive, and even directly occupied the first place in the negative review list!

After everyone saw this phenomenon, their jaws were about to drop in shock.

They feel a little nonsense.

Since the birth of Tomato.com, either the movie is rubbish and ranks at the top of the negative review list, or the movie is full of praise and occupies the first place in the praise list. It has never occupied the second place in the praise list like "A Chinese Journey to the West". , and occupy the first place in the bad review list...

This is……

What do you mean?

Is this movie so tangled?

They curiously checked the comments on the review list...

All right.

The list of bad reviews is indeed fierce, basically all of them are the nonsensical plot of this movie, and all of them are the ending of this movie is too bad, and some writers headed by writer Liu Zhenqing criticize this movie for tampering with the classics, destroying the original, and ruining the movie. everything……

As for the connotation of this movie, the writer Liu Zhenqing does not think there is any connotation in this movie, but thinks that this movie is simply a failure of forced sensationalism...

However, the positive and negative reviews of "A Chinese Journey to the West" indirectly ignited the popularity of this movie, and gradually boosted the popularity of this movie...

…………………………………

"What? Is this the opening day box office of "A Chinese Journey to the West?"

"Yes……"

"What's our box office?"

"Our box office is..."

"..."

Joaquin.

Xu Cancan's face suddenly turned pale.

It is in stark contrast with the ecstatic Shen Lianjie's expression...

Shen Lianjie was stunned.

……………………

There is a hustle and bustle on the Internet.

The scolding war between good and bad reviews is still going on.

However, for insiders, no matter whether it is negative or positive, it is for the box office.

Your garbage movie box office is great, you are also a good movie, no matter how good your movie is, it is garbage at the box office, you are also not good...

after all……

Is a cheating movie that doesn't make money a good movie?

The night gradually deepened.

Wang Jinxue sat silently in the office, quietly waiting for the dawn.

When it was just past one o'clock in the morning, Xia Hong walked in with the report.

"Sister Xia, how's it going? Has the box office come out?"

"Well, the box office is out..."

"How to say?"

"The box office of "A Chinese Journey to the West"...um..." Xia Hong hesitated for a moment, then looked at Wang Jinxue, who seemed a little speechless.

"What's wrong?" After Wang Jinxue saw Xia Hong's expression, she knew that the box office might not be optimistic.

"Nineteen million..."

"Nineteen million? By the way, did you tell Lu Yuan?" Wang Jinxue was silent for a while after hearing the number.

She seemed lost in thought.

The box office of 15 million is not considered a hit, it is considered to be above the standard.

However, in Wang Jinxue's view, the box office performance of "A Chinese Journey to the West" should be unsatisfactory.

"When I got the data for the first time, I came to you... I... I don't know how to tell him this data, and I didn't tell Wu Tingting, after all, it took so much energy and hard work for so long , the premiere box office is only so small, I think this should be a big blow to Mr. Lu..." Xia Hong was also silent for a while, and then looked at Wang Jinxue.

She could imagine Lu Yuan's situation after answering the phone, and she could even clearly imagine Lu Yuan's expression after hearing the box office data.

Mr. Lu's expression must be one of great disappointment.

after all……

For such a promising movie, the premiere box office didn't even reach 20 million.

This……

"How much is the box office of "Dream Traveler"?"

""Dream Traveler"..." Xia Hong hesitated for a while, and finally let out a deep breath, "Thirty million!"

"..."

Wang Jinxue became even more silent after hearing this data.

She looked out the window.

The moonlight outside the window is very bright, but also very quiet.

How disappointed would Lu Yuan, who has always been extremely proud, get this news?

Since Lu Yuan's debut, although it has always been controversial, it has always been smooth sailing, and he has never encountered such a big blow.

so……

The news is really hard.

"Sister Xia, go to bed first, I'll tell Lu Yuan..."

"Well, it's troublesome."

Xia Hong nodded, her chubby face twitched slightly, then turned and left the office.

In the office, Wang Jinxue hesitated for a moment, and finally took out her mobile phone to call Lu Yuan.

She knew that Lu Yuan must not have slept at this point.

"Hey?"

"Lu Yuan..."

"Uh, Jinxue, why haven't you slept yet?"

"are you OK?"

"I'm fine, I just have a runny nose, and I don't know when this cold will start... Achoo!"

"..."

On the other end of the phone, Lu Yuan sneezed again in the middle of speaking.

After sneezing, there was the sound of wiping his nose.

Obviously, this cold made Lu Yuan very helpless.

"I put cold medicine in the suitcase..."

"I ate it, but this time I was speechless with a cold and runny nose. Everything else is fine, just sneezing and runny nose... It's very funny... But it's not right, I was with you a few days ago, why did you I don't have a cold, I have a cold..." Lu Yuan's voice sounded pretty good mentally, and he even teased himself helplessly.

"My physique is better than yours...you don't exercise much..."

"I'm in pretty good shape too..."

"Bah... Lu Yuan, to tell you a serious matter, you have to be mentally prepared..." Wang Jinxue took a sip, and after remembering what she was going to say next, her voice became a little heavy.

"What are you going to do? Jinxue, don't tell me that I'm going to be a father...Ah, Jinxue, let me tell you, don't lie to me...Ah, what a bitch, is this sneeze going to end? And who is scolding me behind my back!"

"Bah, Lu Yuan, where are you thinking... I'm not telling you this... and I'm not pregnant..."

"Then what are you talking about?"

"The box office on the premiere day of "A Chinese Journey to the West" is out."

"Huh? The box office is out? How much?"

"You have to be mentally prepared first."

"I'm in a good mood... Tell me, I can stand it!"

"Nineteen million..."

"What? How much?"

"Nineteen million..."

"Uh... this..." On the other end of the phone, Lu Yuan's voice suddenly became hesitant.

"Lu Yuan... I know this statistic is hard to accept, but it's the reality... Lu Yuan, it's okay, this movie failed, we'll continue with the next one, life can't always be smooth sailing..."

"????"

On the other end of the phone, there was suddenly no sound.

seem……

At a loss.

"Lu Yuan, are you still listening? Lu Yuan, don't scare me..." When Wang Jinxue heard the sudden silence on the other end of the phone, her heart was lifted, and a very bad picture suddenly appeared in her mind .

this moment……

She wanted to buy a ticket to go to Yanjing to accompany Lu Yuan immediately.

"Uh... I'm listening, I'm thinking about how to hold a celebration banquet...Jinxue, do you think we should hold this celebration banquet in a five-star hotel?" On the other end of the phone, Lu Yuan suddenly responded come over.

"You... are you okay? How about I come here, I'll come to accompany you now... You should sleep well now, and when you wake up, I will be by your side..." After seeing Lu Yuan's words , Wang Jinxue became even more worried, and immediately stood up.

She who has always been calm suddenly felt a little panicked...

"Don't stop...Jinxue, you misunderstood, where did you think, the 19 million box office of "A Chinese Journey to the West" is not a good result? Is it a hit? Please, the box office of this movie's premiere exceeded my expectations , I predicted a few hours ago that the film's premiere box office would be 7 million..."

"???"

……………………………

"Little Lu... are you okay?"

"I am fine……"

"Little Lu, actually..."

"..."

Lu Yuan hung up Chen Guanxiong's call.

Quite speechless.

"Lu Yuan... I'm sorry, I didn't take the picture well..."

"..."

Lu Yuan hung up An Xiao's call and fell into a daze.

"Brother Lu...it's okay, our next movie will be better..."

"???"

"Boss... are you okay?"

"???"

morning.

Lu Yuan touched his nose.

Sudden self-doubt.

My "Journey to the West" has exceeded expectations.

Why are you all comforting me?

and many more!

This is so...

The script is wrong!

The 19 million premiere box office results are the best among the movies I have ever made, okay...

In your eyes, it's a rush?

What the hell is going on in this world.

Looking at the vast night in the distance.

Lu Yuan fell into self-doubt.

its not right!

It's rare for me to reward everyone...

Look at it this way...

There is no way for me to spend money to reward?
