Chapter 597 Huangquan Explodes!

The first-day box office of "Soul Ferry: Huangquan" was 48 million, and the publicly announced figure was 50 million, which shocked many people in the industry.

It's not that the first-day box office of 50 million is shocking.

There are many movies by big directors and big stars in China that can achieve such results. It is not uncommon for some movies to have a box office of over 100 million in the premiere and pre-sale.

But this is limited to movies by big stars and big directors.

Although "Soul Ferry: Huangquan" is a movie produced by Light and Shadow Times, the actors are all online drama stars and newcomers, and the director is a small director who can only be regarded as a second- or third-tier director.

Liu Meichuan was a new director who made horror movies. After joining Light and Shadow Times, he made three "Soul Ferry" TV series in a row. In the middle, he also made an original horror movie by himself, which also flopped.

Such a director plus the mediocre cast can't really be said to be excellent and worth looking forward to.

Even though the online drama "Soul Ferry" did perform well on the Internet and was highly discussed, the saying that there is a wall between TV series and movies is still recognized by the mainstream in the industry.

The popularity of TV series that can be watched for free does not mean that big movies that require money to watch can attract audiences to go to the cinema to watch.

After all, one is free and the other is expensive, so the threshold will be raised immediately.

At this moment when various variety shows and big movies have not yet appeared and the industry has not lowered the bottom line, no one really thinks that the popularity of free TV series and variety shows can affect the film industry and allow them to make derivative movies to reap leeks.

After all, in everyone's mind, movies are still considered to be relatively advanced and high-end art, and TV series and variety shows should not be involved.

Under this "universal value", the big movie derived from "Soul Ferry" broke the box office of 50 million at the opening, which really shocked a lot of people.

No one can accept such a result.

A big movie derived from a popular and influential TV series can sell so well at the box office? !

This? !

Some TV production companies that hold the IP of a series of TV series are a little eager to make a move.

Can our company's "Love Apartment" also be a big movie and let the audience go to the cinema to pay to watch it?

Can "Wulin Wai Zhuan", which is praised as a national-level TV drama for eating, also be made into a full-length movie?

Such TV drama producers with wide influence in China are even more excited after seeing that "Soul Ferry" had a box office of 50 million on the first day, and the box office exceeded 100 million on the second and third days, and the first three days of the weekend.

The story content of "Soul Ferry Huangquan" is quite interesting.

The timeline of the story is set 1,200 years before the beginning of the TV series "Soul Ferry", probably during the Tang Dynasty.

In an inn opened by Meng Po at the entrance of Huangquan, a wonderful magical story happened.

Zhao Li, who just became a ghost messenger, Chen Changsheng from the Shushan Sword Sect, Meng Po's daughter Sanqi, the princess who has been dead for almost a thousand years and is suspected to be Sun Shangxiang...

Under conspiracy and coincidence, these people had a tragic story that started with love, but ended with love, and finally caused Meng Po's death, the human Shushan was cut off, and Sanqi and Changsheng could never meet each other.

But if you want to say how tragic it is, it's not.

The first half of the movie is full of humor. Whether it is the little ghost who was caught and worked as a laborer in the inn, or the funny interaction between Sanqi and Changsheng about eating and being eaten, as well as the warm and interesting life in Shushan in the human world, people can't help but smile.

In the second half of the movie, the plot immediately took a sharp turn. Changsheng stole the Book of Life and Death, Mengpo and the elders of Shushan fought across yin and yang, and the Shushan Thousand Swords invaded Huangquan. For the audience, the content was exciting and even big scenes continued. The glare and flying swords came and went, which made people's adrenaline soar.

After Wu Yuan's revision, the script of "Soul Ferry Huangquan" was completely made in the direction of Marvel movies, and it was no longer as petty as the original version.

The plot of the first half was largely retained, but the second half was a lot of magic changes, changed to a Marvel-style "superhero battle"!

The Thousand Swords from Shushan invaded Huangquan, and Mengpo led the ghosts of Huangquan to fight a battle of yin and yang with them.

When Meng Po turned into a celestial snake and fought with the elders of Shushan, the special effects were full, comparable to the Hulk fighting Thor, it was so exciting!

In addition, the "little soldiers" kept using their big moves, which was quite similar to the Battle of New York in "The Avengers".

Of course, if you really want to compare, it is still not that big, after all, the production cost of "Soul Ferry: Huangquan" cannot be compared with "Avengers".

But this is a domestic special effects blockbuster, and domestic audiences have never seen such a large-scale special effects battle before!

In the field of domestic films, "Soul Ferry: Huangquan" can be regarded as the ultimate.

So that even at the end, Meng Po and the elders of Shushan died together, Changsheng sacrificed his soul to merge with Sanqi, helped Sanqi become the new Meng Po, stabilized Huangquan, and both sides of the battle suffered heavy casualties, but there was not much tragic atmosphere, and the audience only had a sense of satisfaction after enjoying a visual feast.

At the end of the movie, Wu Yuan also sent the Hades Tutu to close the end.

In the final ending, the King of Hell Tutu could no longer bear the great battle at the entrance to the Yellow Springs, so he brought his army of the underworld and quickly defeated all the people from the Yellow Springs and Shushan. He also drove all the invading sword cultivators from Shushan back to the human world and reinforced the seal on the Yellow Springs Road.

That is why the story of the next "Shushan Xianxia Zhuan" is introduced at the end of the Easter egg.

Yes, the Xianxia movie universe series of the Light and Shadow Era also has Easter egg segments.

After the credits of "Soul Ferry Huangquan" are played, there are two Easter eggs.

The first is that after Huangquan returned to peace, Sanqi became the new Mengpo. She was alone and alone, boiling Mengpo soup that could only be boiled with her own tears. Zhao Li, who was dressed in modern clothes and drove a big jeep, came to visit Sanqi. Everything seemed to have returned to peace, and Sanqi became a person like her mother.

The other Easter egg is Shushan.

Shushan, who was driven back to the human world, suffered heavy casualties, and the elders of Shushan launched a war to invade Huangquan because of their selfish desire for immortality, which also spread throughout the human world of immortal cultivation.

Shushan, who was originally admired by all cultivators, became a rat crossing the street for a while, and the inheritance of Taoism was in jeopardy.

At this moment, a handsome boy wearing cloth and carrying a long sword on his back stepped onto Shushan amidst the persuasion and puzzled eyes of the crowd!

This boy has a handsome face that is unruly.

The easter egg ends here.

Because many domestic audiences have no experience with easter eggs, most people leave the theater directly after watching the movie and the credits appear.

Only a very small number of viewers saw these two easter eggs.

However, after these very few people saw the easter eggs, they caused an uproar on the Internet! (End of this chapter)
