Chapter 1110 Beating

"Subduing the Demon" has a very strong momentum!

The pre-sales broke the record, and the fastest exceeded 200 million for a Chinese-language film. It seems to have broken the record of "The Great Wall", and the scene of seeing the mountains and small mountains is right in front of you.

Then, at night, the attendance of "The Wandering Earth" soared...

This one is truly a triumph of cinematic quality!

"The Wandering Earth" is the first to open its scores, with Douban scoring 8.2 points, Time.com scoring 8.3 points, and Maoyan scoring 9.8 points...

The reputation of "Subjugating the Demon" is very low. The latter's Douban score is 5.9 points - it directly failed the score!

Frankly speaking, "Subduing Demons" has nothing new at all:

The story progression mode of a single-line narrative is straightforward and has no highlights;

The suspense clues are also very thin. The emotional line between master and apprentice, and the emotional changes between Tang Seng and Sun Wukong are so sudden that they have no friends.

One second he was shouting that he wanted to kill the master, but the next second the master and apprentice joined forces to counterattack...

It's simply embarrassing.

As the only emotional line between men and women, the emotional clue between Tang Seng and Xiao Shan died before it even started!

The thin plot, mediocre way of unfolding the film, and simple story structure have made it unbearable for the audience and difficult to believe that this is a movie tinkered by Star Master.

The greater the scale of the promotion and the quality presented fails to meet expectations, the stronger the backlash will be!

Perhaps many people will still like "Subduing the Demon" due to its special effects and unique dark aesthetic, but now... the voices that they like are far from being able to suppress the voices that they hate.

Looking back at "The Wandering Earth"...

For science fiction fans, when the magnificent planetary engine is displayed in front of them, everyone is already climaxing...

It's also friendly to general audiences - the family line of conflicting father and son runs throughout.

The earth encountered an unprecedented disaster, and everyone worked together to take the earth away;

Then, the Wandering Earth Project encountered the first wave of difficulties. Humanity united, fought hard, and carried out saturation rescue; countless people sacrificed one after another, and finally the disaster was turned into a disaster, and the Earth embarked on its journey again...

The plot is very solid!

Moreover, although "The Wandering Earth" deviates from Liu Cixin's original work, the text itself still continues Liu's worldview.

Liu's text and Hollywood's genre narrative represent two completely opposite world views.

Liu believes that survival is the first priority, and only after survival can we talk about civilization. The existence and continuation of life are not a matter of course, and require a lot of price and suffering;

Hollywood genre films will believe that faith is the first priority. It is faith that brings life. It is faith that helps the protagonist defeat the enemy and successfully reach the promised land...

Therefore, the final solution to the dilemma of "Ad Astra" is to use it to generate electricity - if you let a Chinese director shoot it like this, he will definitely be criticized to death!

In addition, "The Wandering Earth" really shows a lot of things that Chinese people understand, such as "saturation rescue"!

In some American blockbusters, various national crises, human crises, earth crises, and universe crises basically rely on the protagonist group to save...

Are you kidding me?

The rescue work should be a foolproof saturation rescue.

In order to protect the driver who died in the flint, there was a rescue team who pulled the flint on foot and froze to death. There were three ignition engines for the equatorial steering, and there were other people to fill in after the plane crashed. Wu Jing and Mao Zi were not the only ones planning to leave the space station. They had the idea of ​​​​igniting Jupiter. It’s not what the protagonist and his group thought of first…

This is a desperate rescue effort by all mankind. Everyone is working hard. Both the rescue team and the scientific team are basically on the top of their IQs!

Hollywood-style movies like "Pacific Rim 2" and "Independence Day 2" have been preparing for decades to deal with crises, but when they are pierced by a wave of people, they can only rely on a few protagonists to get lucky, and the last few people are killed. If the opponent's boss is the opponent, they will all take a break...

The plot really cannot withstand scrutiny!

Most importantly, everyone's expectations for "The Wandering Earth" are not that high...

This is real.

In science fiction movies, the audience is most concerned about the special effects. Objectively speaking, the visual effects of "The Wandering Earth" are definitely unprecedented among domestic movies;

Even in the global market, as long as you don't use Hollywood's top visual effects movies as a comparison, the average level of "The Wandering Earth" is first-rate, and individual shots can definitely shock people!

As for the actors’ performance…

Whether it is the male protagonist Qu Chuxiao or Zhao Jinmai, including Wu Jing, Wu Mengda, Zhang Jing (rescue team leader)...

I can’t say that his acting skills are superb, but at least he has accomplished everything a good actor should do in a genre film!

Defeat the actors of "Subduing the Demon"...

…

"Once again, I would like to thank all the creative teams who work hard on filming. They are real filmmakers. Also thank you to the warriors who always rush into the theater at the first time. Many viewers step on your corpses to avoid the rot before watching the movie. Funny…”

"Okay, the situation has become clear, and I can tell the truth..."

“In the North American film market, the box office champions always belong to movies with big productions and big scenes!

Our market is quite special, because these movies belong to Hollywood, and domestic movies can only use the domestic movie protection month, New Year's Day and Spring Festival, three periods when there are no or very few Hollywood movies, to win more box office! "

"Long before the launch of "Earthfire", I was thinking, why can't we make a blockbuster movie that is not inferior to Hollywood movies to get box office?"

"In the past few years, it has become popular to have big IPs + small talents, big IPs + big directors + small talents... Fan movies have flooded the entire film market. Many people asked me before, why don't I do these? I obviously did "Twilight" in Hollywood. "City", you should be well versed in the path of fan movies..."

"Yes, I do understand, and I also know that there is no difference between a fan's 100 yuan and an audience's 100 yuan... but fan movies are limited editions.

Tianmei is a leading company in the industry and a benchmark. If even Tianmei makes fan movies, what about... mainstream movies? "

"The success of "Earthfire" made me see the prospect of large-scale production, so I continued to produce "The Wandering Earth" and developed "Total War: The Great Wall" by the way... No one in the market disappointed me, and many people didn't know "The Great Wall" "The significance of the box office approaching 3.2 billion means that the mainland market is enough to accommodate a movie with an investment of 1 billion~!"

“This year’s Spring Festival release looks like a fight between immortals, but it’s actually the dimensionality reduction attack of “The Wandering Earth” on other domestic films!”

"To be honest, my expectation for the box office of "The Wandering Earth" is more than 4 billion!"

On the morning of the second day of the Lunar New Year, Shen Xudong directly posted on Weibo after watching today's theater schedule...

Oh, in terms of theater schedules, "The Wandering Earth" received 35% of the movie schedules, while "The Demon" dropped to 28%...

Well, there is a gap of nearly 20,000 shows...

If "The Wandering Earth" hadn't been nearly 3 hours long, the gap would have been even greater!

As for other movies, the schedule of "Kung Fu Yoga" has increased to 18% - the word-of-mouth (fraud) marketing of "Kung Fu Yoga" is really good, similar to "Word of Mouth Counterattack" and "Family Fun, Suitable for the Whole Family" Movies to watch! ’

I don’t know how much I spent on Sparkle Roll, but it’s well received all over the internet…
