Chapter 418 3 Billion? Poisonous Milk?

"Who would have thought that I would cry after watching a funeral movie??"

"Lin Xing's acting skills are so awesome. Sometimes I really want to know how he manages to perform differently in every movie??"

"Yeah, in "Killing Arden", Brother Ding seems to never wake up, and in "Sunspot", he is so melancholy and heart-wrenching, but in this movie, he really seems to be a gangster from the beginning. of."

…

"I'm not a sailor, and I have no feelings for Lin Xing either, but I really think he did a good job in "Up to Heaven"."

"One thing to say, I really feel like there's nothing more to say. This movie is really going to be a hit."

"I'm going to take back what I said, I thought the movie was really good."

"There aren't any good movies in April, so I think this movie will definitely explode."

…

The first batch of viewers who requested the screening all expressed their opinions, and some entertainment journalists among them also stayed at the cinema and conducted interviews on the spot.

Obviously, some entertainment reporters are thinking about what if they are lucky enough to meet Lin Xing? ? ?

You must know that Lin Xing has always preferred to airborne.

Just like in "Killing Arden" and "Sunspot", Lin Xing did raids.

This time, many reporters were following the movie continuously, one by one from several movie theaters. After all, there were only 5 movie theaters showing the movie today.

As a result, many reporters came up empty handed.

They were only able to interview a few viewers, and the reviews these viewers gave to "Going to Heaven" were all positive.

It was as if all the spectators were prepared according to the pre-prepared instructions.

But is this possible? ? ?

This time, the screening of "Going to Heaven" was relatively random. Besides, although many screenings in the five movie theaters provided free movie tickets, it would be too difficult to buy off the trolls with all the money.

Or how is it possible? ? ?

Also, many reporters are not just for a living, and they can often tell at a glance whether they are trolls or not.

So although many reporters were a little disappointed, they all wrote an article with the title "Lin Xing".

Basically, it means that "Going to Heaven" has exploded in word-of-mouth.

Because of the rave reviews when it was screened.

Of course, this kind of rave reviews does not mean that "Going to Heaven" will explode at the box office.

After all, the screening is only a small-scale viewing, and what really determines the box office is the subsequent official release.

The screenings for two consecutive days were all on a small scale. "Going to Heaven" was not even screened in first-tier cities, it was always in the imperial capital.

In response, many cities said: "Why not here??"

In addition, many people in Jiangcheng are also dissatisfied.

"Wasn't it originally filmed in our Jiangcheng? And the shadow of our Jiangcheng is everywhere in "Going to Heaven"? Why don't we let us film it here??"

"Didn't Lin Xing say he was very grateful to Jiang Cheng in his previous interview? Is that how he was thanked?"

"You should let us in Jiangcheng have it too. I really want to see this movie."

…

After two consecutive days of screenings, many people hope that "Going to Heaven" will be released as soon as possible.

In addition, there is a lot of discussion about the five funerals in "Going to Heaven".

At the same time, the most discussed phrase is 'There is nothing important in life except death'.

This sentence may sound like nonsense, but many people actually cannot understand it.

Especially students like Yan Xiaofang and singles like Zeng Li cannot understand.

Those who really feel it are actually more middle-aged people who come to watch the movie. You are like Zhang Yida. For him, coming to watch the movie is actually more of an escape.

When people reach middle age, especially after the age of 35, they are basically faced with unemployment. Unfortunately, Zhang Yida is currently unemployed.

As he is over 40 years old, he actually has psychological expectations about unemployment. After all, the Internet has been talking about the mid-life crisis in recent years.

This is also true. Zhang Yida has actually been making preparations for the past two years, but it was only after he lost his job that he realized that his preparations were of no use.

No company is willing to hire a 40-year-old middle-aged person, and some temporary jobs don’t pay much money.

Zhang Yida has a mortgage and a car loan, and he is older and younger. A few years ago, when the economic environment was good, he even had a second child. After all, he blindly overestimated himself.

Zhang Yida has been looking for a job for three months now. At first, he really thought he could find a good job, and he didn't want to go out of town, so a friend helped him find a good job out of town. Declined.

And now Zhang Yida regrets that his intestines are green, because this is the only one where he can have a chance to get a job.

After more than two months, Zhang Yida no longer had any work.

He now pretends to come to work every day because he dare not tell his parents and wife. After all, it is of no use and will only make them worry.

But as a middle-aged person, when you have no income for a month, you will already panic, because your whole family depends on you to support you, and if you have no income for three months, you will almost collapse.

This time, Zhang Yida's good friend gave him a movie ticket to relax.

To be honest, for Zhang Yida, he does not face death now. You can say that everything he does now is trivial.

But all the little things piled up can still be overwhelming.

After watching "Life Events", Zhang Yida was really touched, because he thought that everything was still in time.

Cherish the people in front of you.

This is what the movie tells everyone, and it is also Zhang Yida's first reaction after watching it.

For this reason, when he was surrounded by media reporters for an interview, Zhang Yida only said one sentence: "This is a movie that makes people rethink their lives after watching it."

This made some reporters a little confused.

How is this still valuable? ?

You know, generally speaking, if a movie is valuable, or even a movie that educates people, then this movie is often very easy to be a failure.

After all, no one likes to be educated by watching a movie.

But "Going to Heaven" is not to educate everyone. This movie is like immersing the audience in it, and it is an immersive way to attend other people's funerals.

There is no preaching in the movie, and even many people do not feel preached after watching this movie.

Just like Zhang Yida, he thought he had been very hard, and many small things seemed to crush him, but as the movie said, people should often look at what they have.

With children, cars, houses, a virtuous wife, and parents who are alive and well, what's the big deal? ?

So Zhang Yida really didn't say anything polite, he really thought it was a good movie.

And there are many people like Zhang Yida who think the movie is good after watching it, and the most important thing is that they are not really moviegoers.

Throughout April, the market was very bad. Not to mention the market breaking 100 million in one day, it didn't even have 20 million.

The theaters are even struggling to hope that there will be a movie to shake the market.

But to be honest, it's too difficult.

Because all movies need to consider the schedule, and Qingming Festival is a small schedule in April, but this schedule often can't pull up the market.

It is precisely because of this that this year's Qingming Festival, except for "Going to Heaven" which has been scheduled, the other few are small-budget movies.

There is only one big movie, that is, the Hollywood animated film "Coco", which has received rave reviews when it was released abroad.

Except for this one, the other few are all low-cost literary, suspense, and comedy films.

Among the films scheduled for April 2, Coco has the highest screening, up to 35%, followed by Going to Heaven, because the word-of-mouth of the preview has reached 20%, followed by several other films.

In fact, everyone has similar ideas, that is, we can't compete in the big schedule, and we will definitely be cannon fodder in the big schedule. In this case, let's go to the small schedule.

In any case, Qingming Festival is also a three-day holiday, although there are adjustments.

Just like "Hunting", which is based on telecommunications fraud, it has been aimed at the Qingming period from the beginning.

This movie is said to be adapted from real cases, and the actors are traffic + drama bones. At the same time, the director of this movie used to be a policeman. He even said in an interview that everyone must watch this movie because it can prevent telecommunications fraud.

Obviously, there have been many movies about telecommunications fraud in recent years, but there are not many fine ones.

The cast of "The Hunt" is quite good, and everyone is looking forward to it. The actors are working hard to promote it, and the theaters are also optimistic about it. After all, the director is very knowledgeable about telecom fraud.

For this reason, the screening of "The Hunt" has reached 18%, second only to "Go to Heaven".

In other words, the Qingming Festival on April 2 is basically a PK between the three movies "Coco", "Go to Heaven" and "The Hunt".

Of course, most people are not very optimistic about "Coco".

Hollywood blockbusters are not good, how can this Hollywood animated film be good? ? ?

"I'll just watch Going to Heaven during the Qingming Festival. It's said that this movie is not very depressing, and everyone who has seen it thinks it's good."

"Yeah, I'm also going to watch Going to Heaven. If nothing else, I still believe in Lin Xing."

"I think Coco is pretty good after watching the trailer, and the lead actor is actually a little boy. This brave dream-chasing story also involves the Day of the Dead, which I think is a bit interesting."

"The Qingming Festival is about the funeral industry and the Day of the Dead in foreign countries. You know what, they are both very suitable."

...

The discussion of many viewers cannot really determine the theater's scheduling, and even Coco has the most prime time.

Obviously, people in the theater have already seen the movie in advance, and they even think that Coco might also be a bomb.

There were even people in the cinema who shouted: "This movie is guaranteed to make 3 billion."

Some small-scale film critics said: "Huayu will never make such a movie. Hollywood is Hollywood. We will not accept it."

Some people said: "Chinese animation is almost dead. There is really no good Chinese animation."

In response to this, Lao Zhong, who has always been paying attention to the film industry, said: "Why is it always Huayu's film going to fail? Chinese animation is going to fail? And I suggest that you theater staff and practitioners should save a little bit of luck. Still guaranteeing 3 billion? Be careful not to be blown to death??"

Obviously, Lao Zhong is not in tune with this film review circle.

Because she never thinks that she should reflect on the fact that Chinese entertainment movies are not as good as Hollywood blockbusters, after all, what has Hollywood blockbusters become in recent years? ?

If these Hollywood blockbusters were domestic movies, then a bunch of film critics and even practitioners would have rushed to say that your domestic movies are doomed.

As a result, just because they are from Hollywood, they are praised in various ways and find patches.

Is it cheap? ? ?

Lao Zhong mainly wants to criticize this. As for domestic animation, the current domestic animation with the highest box office "Bear Sheep War" is a big hit among all Hollywood animations.

As for this "Dream Chaser Journey", Lao Zhong only watched the trailer. She thinks it may be good, but what do you mean by a guaranteed box office of 3 billion?

Are you really not afraid of being killed by poisonous predictions? ? ?

So Lao Zhong did not forget to make a joke: "You are always blindly confident about the situation of Hollywood box office failures, but why are you always so pessimistic about Lin Xing who has never lost? Instead of thinking that the box office of "Coco" can break 3 billion, you might as well believe that the box office of Lin Xing's "Going to Heaven" can break 3 billion."

"Nonsense? Lao Zhong, are you really not abiding by the Basic Law now to lick Lin Xing?"

"Le, I actually want to ask you, Lao Zhong, don't you really know the ceiling of art films?"

"That's right, art films are originally niche, and even the box office of "Sunspots" only broke 2 billion. You let Lin Xing's "Going to Heaven" directly break 3 billion? And in April?"

"Funny, Lao Zhong, do you have to be so hypocritical? On the one hand, you say that others are toxic, but I think you are the most toxic."

...

Obviously, Lao Zhong is a person who has been a little bit of a celebrity among film critics, and even in the circle, so her Weibo post will naturally be bombarded by everyone.

Moreover, it was because Lao Zhong was disgusted with other people first, and as a result, she was attacked by other people.

In response, Yan Xiaofang, a loyal fan of Lao Zhong and a loyal fan of Lin Xing, published a film review to support Lao Zhong.

Yan Xiaofang said that she might not understand death or farewell, and she even rarely attended funerals, but she was still moved by the movie "Going to Heaven".

This film review shows that Yan Xiaofang commented on "Going to Heaven" from the perspective of her students.

At the same time, she even recognized Lao Zhong's judgment.

"I think "Going to Heaven" may really break 3 billion."

Yan Xiaofang's words even made Lin Xing's fans panic, because fans are extremely knowledgeable.

Damn it.

Do you have to be so toxic? ? ?
