Cinema is the most realistic.

"Alliance of Thieves 2" created a new zero-point field record. During the day on the 25th, all theaters collectively adjusted their schedules.

The schedule of "Thieves 2" has increased from the original 35% to 55%.

At eight o'clock in the morning, "A Chinese Ghost Story" opened on Douban with a score of 4.3.

"Chen Zhengdao blinked when you were kidnapped." Yi Xing.

"What about the special effects team of "The Lord of the Rings"! It's co-produced by more than a dozen domestic special effects companies! Fifty cents!" One star.

"The male and female protagonists have contributed the worst acting skills of the year. Lu Han: Do you think I am handsome? Zheng Shuang, who was born in a major, is too funny to try to play a female ghost. In the end, he can only put on a face: Look, I am beautiful." Is it?" One star.

"I wanted to wait for "Rogue 2", but was forced by my girlfriend to watch "A Chinese Ghost Story" in advance. The story is smooth and self-consistent, but the performance of the actors is terrible." Two stars.

There is a useful little trick for finding movies on Douban.

It says good movies are not necessarily good, but nine out of ten movies it says are bad are really bad.

With the release of "Thieves 2", Ahri's two-day control of the film's public opinion inevitably collapsed.

The voices denouncing it as a bad movie are rampant.

And the ultra-high flow rate of Lu Han and Zheng Shuang added fuel to the fire of this discussion.

But these discussions did not affect the fans of the two to buy tickets to support their idols, but the growth rate was not as impressive as the previous two days.

On the Friday when "Thieves 2" was released, "A Chinese Ghost Story" only earned 23.6 million at the box office with 3200% of the film schedule.

The score of "Thieves 2" was 1.72 million, and the combined box office on the first day was 1.8 million.

One day surpassed the three-day achievement of "A Chinese Ghost Story".

In the two days of the weekend, the box office of "Rogue 2" did not exceed 1 million, with 1.5 million on Saturday and 1.22 million on Sunday.

In the first three days of the weekend, the box office exceeded 4 million, reaching 4.52 million.

However, "A Chinese Ghost Story" only earned 1.17 million in the two days of the weekend, and 5 million in the first five days of the weekend.

Various agencies have lowered their expectations for "A Chinese Ghost Story":

"If according to the theory of three times the first weekend, the final box office of "A Chinese Ghost Story" can stand on the 9 million platform. For Ahri, it is very good that the first film can achieve such a result. But now the film is receiving more attention. The serious drag of word-of-mouth, coupled with the enthusiasm of most fans of the two leading actors, has been released in the first weekend, and later in the National Day file, there will be films such as "Nine-story Demon Tower" and "Save Mr. My", "A Chinese Ghost Story" "The future trend is not optimistic."

"In "Thieves 2", Han Yan learned the perfect rhythm of the first film from Cheng Yu'an, with a breakout point every three to five minutes, either thrilling or funny. The narrative is not sloppy at all, and the relationship between the characters is clear and clear. It will not cause the audience to watch the movie. The newly added Japanese actors also have their own characteristics. Although the imaginative action design is unreasonable, it really hits the audience's taste. A wide range of high-tech means satisfies the audience The novelty-seeking psychology, big sales are also predictable."

According to the forecast of authoritative organizations: "It has been 1 years since the release of "Rogue 3". During these 3 years, the domestic market has further expanded. According to the current performance of "Rogue 2", it is only a matter of time before "Rogue 1" surpasses "Rogue 10". The pressure comes to "The Nine-story Demon Tower", facing a movie with a level of [-] billion, how should Director Lu Chuan deal with it."

A fatal injury to fan movies, the box office breakout period is extremely short.

On the following Monday, "A Chinese Ghost Story" took a big dive, only taking 2017 million, while "The Thief 2" still had an excellent performance of over 5000 million.

Before the market could see how Lu Chuan would respond to "Rogue 2", Ari made the first move.

Yang Sanshi, the marketing director of "A Chinese Ghost Story" and the vice president of Ahri Films, in the promotion of Jinguancheng, firstly admitted that the film does have shortcomings in response to the negative reviews given by netizens: "A film is difficult to make. Everyone likes it, and we welcome criticism from the audience. But I still want to say something fair for our movie. We invested a lot of time and money in the special effects of this movie, and hired the top special effects team in Hollywood. But it is a pity that many of our domestic special effects companies are not yet complete in technology, it took us a lot of time, and the final effect did not satisfy everyone, I am really sorry."

In the current domestic environment, special effects companies are basically at the bottom of the entire production process. Everyone knows that special effects are important, but if they don’t pay attention to special effects and are unwilling to give money and time, anyone can cut the special effects budget.

The nature of the special effects company's work also determines that it cannot gain a particularly large voice in the crew. Special effects companies generally work with money and start work at the command. I will do whatever you want.

But Yang Sanshi is not authentic in throwing the blame to the special effects company in this way.

It’s not okay to pick soft persimmons. If you don’t dare to blame the actors and directors, you will find the honest special effects team to bully you.

Tiangong Yicai, as the actual leader of the special effects of "A Chinese Ghost Story", first responded to Yang Sanshi's remarks. Shen Yuan, the director of Tiangong Yicai, said on Weibo:

"Yang always engages in brand building and marketing public relations. I don't blame you if you don't understand special effects. But I don't agree with blaming special effects for the film's bad reviews. "A Chinese Ghost Story" as a film by Mr. Yang The blockbusters that are said to be "standardized against Hollywood" are too stingy in special effects investment. For a Hollywood blockbuster, the post-production special effects investment generally accounts for 1/3 of the budget. "A Chinese Ghost Story" costs 3 million yuan, but the special effects investment is obvious It didn't reach 3 million. The investment of "White Fox Legend" released at the end of the year is also [-] million, and I will ask Mr. Yang to see what the special effects worth [-] million are like."

“There is a well-known saying in special effects production: 'If you give them enough beer and pizza, they can do anything. The budget is for special effects, and how much time is given for special effects."

In the end, he put down a cruel sentence: "I want to be cheap, I want to work well, and I want to use it in a short time. How can such a good thing happen to you in the world."

Tiangong Yicai represented the special effects team not to take the blame from Yang Sanshi, and then the bottom line of "A Chinese Ghost Story" was dug out by netizens:
""A Chinese Ghost Story" claims to have an investment of 3 million yuan, so let's take it as if he really invested 3 million yuan. According to news, the male and female protagonists' remuneration alone will cost nearly 1 million yuan, leaving no more than 5000 million yuan for special effects, and the time is special. Hurry up, you must know that "A Chinese Ghost Story" was only finished in February this year. Moreover, the special effects of "A Chinese Ghost Story" were not made by the team of "Lord of the Rings" as they said, they invited props from "Lord of the Rings" The design team, before and after special effects have been done by domestic special effects companies such as Tiangong Yicai. But in order to look good during publicity, it is said that the "Lord of the Rings" team did it."

This news cannot be proven, but it cannot be falsified either. This kind of revelation is easier to spread.

For a while, netizens were full of resistance to the pioneering work of Ahri Films, and generally believed that its first film was insincere and full of deceit.
