Chapter 198 First Day Box Office
The movie is good, and the non-stop laughter throughout the whole show is enough to prove the quality of the movie.
Zhang Shuqin came out of the theater and was bickering with her boyfriend when she suddenly received a WeChat message from her roommate: "Did you watch "Goodbye Roommate", how was it?"
"Don't watch it, it's not good. If you want to watch it, I recommend you "Lost on Journey". Zhang Shuqin decisively recommended it and didn't think of cheating her roommate.
"Even you think "Goodbye Roommate" is not good, then it must be really bad. Then I will go to see "Lost on Journey" with Xiaoqian later."
Zhang Shuqin replied: "Well, if you want to watch it, book tickets early, there are not many shows."
"Oh!"
While she was chatting with her roommate, Wang Jingzhong was writing a movie review.
Zhang Shuqin was used to her boyfriend. Not only watching movies, but also other activities such as eating and entertainment, he would also write comments and reviews, and he was very serious. When asked, he said "This shows that I have a strong sense of social responsibility". I don't know who he learned this conceit from.
After giving Lost on Journey an eight-point rating on the ticketing website, Wang Jingzhong saw someone leave a comment saying "too few screenings" and gave it a thumbs up. He then left with his girlfriend and began to think about what conditions to propose.
…
It was late at night when Xu Rui came back from the party. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Yan Ran and Du Xiao huddled in front of the computer. He knew without looking that they must be browsing Douya.com.
On the way back, he also browsed in the nanny car. The rating has not been unlocked yet. Because of the small number of screenings, not many people have rated it, but the reviews are good, with a high proportion of five-star and four-star ratings.
For the other movies, the tribute film "Rise of the Dragon" was average, not as amazing as expected, but there were not many faults. Not many people watched the animated film, and "Insider" and "Goodbye Roommate" were a battle of badness, and they were also at the center of public opinion on the first day of the release.
Seeing Xu Rui coming back, Du Xiao couldn't hide her thoughts and immediately said, "Yan Ran and I went to see the other two movies today. Why are they scheduled higher than ours? "Inside Out" is too childish. In order to make the story ups and downs, the audience is on edge. It keeps repeating the plot of the undercover being discovered and not being discovered. In the end, the protagonist's wit was not shown, but the villain was highlighted.
That "Goodbye Roommate" is simply ruining the world view. Have you seen the reviews online? Many students said they felt insulted, insulting college students, insulting women, and they were all denouncing how this movie passed the review. Just because a few people finally understood their mistakes and learned lessons, it is considered sublimation? It's too ridiculous!"
"Stop scolding, calm down." Yan Ran reached out and stroked Du Xiao's back to help her calm down.
Du Xiao took a deep breath: "Our reviews are still good. After today, our screening rate will increase."
Xu Rui said: "Who knows, the problem is not how many people criticize it, but whether no one will go to see it after the criticism, or more people will go to see it. Black and red are also red. What if more people want to see how bad this movie is, unless it is criticized to be taken off the screen."
Du Xiao was speechless for a moment. She knew the facts that Xu Rui said, but she just couldn't accept it.
After changing clothes, Xu Rui also sat next to them: "Let me see what the reviews are."
The movie review area is okay, and the rationality of users still prevails.
The fan circle exploded, and Yan Ran's fans complained in their own territory.
"The screening rate is so low, why?"
"Lost on Journey is so good, I enjoyed it from beginning to end, the two leading actors are amazing, to be honest, I used to look down on them, but now I have completely changed my mind."
"Indeed, there are behind-the-scenes footage at the end of the movie, and Weng Zehua really drinks milk."
"Even if you don't stand on Yan Ran's side, Lost on Journey is the best of the five National Day movies."
"Don't post malicious reviews, and don't leave comments on Kuang Dafei's Weibo."
"It's already started."
Yan Ran doesn't have many fans of her personal work and works, and her fighting power is average, but she has many fans of "At First Sight CP", Xu Rui has even more fans, and the screenwriter column is co-signed by Xu Rui and Yan Ran.
So whether from the perspective of the two men and women, or from the perspective that Lost on Journey is a work that Xu Rui participated in, Xu Rui's fans can't just sit back and watch.
As soon as they came on stage, they crushed the opponent. This is the first time Xu Rui has seen his fans fighting so hard since his debut.
Yan Ran was at a loss, and asked Xu Rui: "What should I do?"
Xu Rui smiled and said: "Generally, just keep silent and ignore it."
"Generally?" How could Yan Ran not understand him? "You must be extraordinary."
"Yes, I'm going to send a picture." Xu Rui flipped through his phone and found a cartoon picture. In the picture, a little man was stopping a group of little men from quarreling, and the text "Don't quarrel, sing a song for you." He edited the picture and changed "sing a song for you" to "make a movie for you" and forwarded it to Yan Ran, "Here, send this."
"Don't you need to say anything more?" Yan Ran asked.
"Those who are willing to listen to advice will understand after seeing the picture. For those who are unwilling, no matter what you say, it's useless. All we can do is to fulfill our responsibility of guidance." After Xu Rui finished speaking, he had already sent the picture.
Yan Ran naturally trusted him and followed suit and sent the picture.
The fans responded quickly, and many people who were still fighting just now immediately changed their attitudes.
"Stop arguing, Xu Rui and Yan Ran have both spoken."
"Yeah, it's unnecessary to continue arguing like this, it's just causing trouble for them."
"If you think a movie is bad, just rate it on Douya.com, don't go to the other party's Weibo."
"Sing for us, then sing!"
The Internet is still very noisy. Kuang Dafei also knows the situation of public opinion. He is a little surprised, but he is not panicking. The company has just bought a batch of film review drafts. When the time comes, the good and bad reviews will be offset. People who haven't seen it may want to personally identify it and go to the theater.
The evaluation of the film is important, but the box office is more important. As long as you can make money, low scores are not a problem.
If there is any change in mentality, it is that the previous prejudice against Yan Ran, Xu Rui and "Lost on Journey" was because of my friend Zhuo Anyun, and now the unhappiness comes from the threats brought by the other party and the abuse of the two fans.
"A bunch of brainless fans." Kuang Dafei first scolded the fans, and then found the review area of "Lost on Journey" on Douya.com. He took a look and saw that most of them were four or five stars. He gritted his teeth a little, "Can you two young people step on your head?!"
After a night of worrying about each other, the first day box office was released the next morning.
"Rise of the Guardians", 50 million.
"Insider", 21 million.
"Goodbye, Roommate", 17 million.
"Lost on Journey", 6.5 million.
Although it was at the bottom, 8% of the screenings and 6.5 million box office were enough to make people happy.
"It will definitely pay off."
"Maybe we can make a lot more!"
"The reputation is also good."
"Success!"
Early in the morning, the three of them clapped their hands in the living room.
