The road to becoming a movie star from the villain

Chapter 125

On July [-], "Zhu Xian" premiered.

Chinese epic fairy tale masterpiece, adapted from the novel of the same name "Zhu Xian".

Just these two titles, people can't help but want to take a look.

Zhu Xian, that is the first online novel that many people read.People can't help but think of the time when I was in junior high school ten years ago, when people in the class split a thick book into ten parts and passed them around to each other.

So, some buddies bought tickets for the premiere in groups, and met to relive the good times;

Many men took their girlfriends to watch, excitedly describing how grand the Qimai Martial Arts Competition is, and how magnificent Qing Yunmen is as a great sect of cultivating immortals.

The people of the sect are even more immortal, "the sword comes with the wind, and the demons are removed from the world."

There are also some people who come here for the name of the Xianxia giant system, to see what kind of grand scene the Huaxia Xianxia is.

In short, when the movie zero o'clock, there were no empty seats.

After the movie started, in the first 15 minutes, some viewers felt something was wrong, and during the middle hour, the audience felt more and more wrong. At the end of the movie, the audience finally realized:

What is this?
What does this say?
This is simply an insult to the audience!
Therefore, even at two or three o'clock in the morning, a group of angry original book parties criticized the movie.

For example, the owner of Zhu Xian Bar, angrily posted a post directly, not only cursing the movie, but also calling on everyone not to watch it, and said:
"Don't let me see the forced washing when posting here, block one by one."

Just that grumpy.

The same goes for other viewers.

What they want to watch is a masterpiece of Xianxia, ​​not a romance movie in the cloak of Xianxia.No, it's not even a romance movie!
Adaptation is not random, and joking is not nonsense.

This movie completely changed the original book.

At first, before the filming started, fans of the book called each other to prepare for a battle, because this book has two heroines, Bi Yao and Lu Xueqi.Some book fans are from Baguio, and some book fans are from Lu Xueqi.

They felt that after this movie was made, the teams of the two groups would definitely grow stronger, and there would definitely be a lot of verbal confrontation.

As a result, after watching the movie, they felt that they had been fed a mouthful of shit at the same time, so they shared the same hatred and cursed on the Internet, pointing the finger at the director and actors.

A group of celestial beings who know martial arts with seven veins, and the martial arts competition scene is not as good as martial arts.

The protagonist, Zhang Xiaofan, is just a piece of trash, relying entirely on sticks, and he has no charm at all.

There is also Qingyunmen, a decent leader, who was rubbed on the ground by the demon sect.The first seat of Qimai was hanged and beaten by the ghost king alone.

The most important thing is that this movie is called "Zhu Xian", but there is not even a sword of Zhu Xian in the movie.

"Zhu Xian" does not have the Zhu Xian sword.

Really, great.

Not to mention the costumes, what the audience is looking forward to is a fairy-tale character with a sense of demeanor, and they want to see the orthodox immortal sect Qingyunmen, but what they see is the beggar gang meeting.

Let's talk about actors.

Not to mention the starring role, I have no skills at all, after so many years of practice, my skills are still 0.
The most important thing is the character of Baguio. In the original book, this character is lively and savage on the surface, but actually emotional and fragile on the inside. Although she is a witch, she is surprisingly kind to the protagonist, and she is a quirky character.

But Meng Xiaomei didn't show any sense of hierarchy at all.

This Baguio doesn't look like a demon girl, but a careless idiot
There's also the issue of casting, and so on.

One well-known blogger commented:

"Every generation of us faces such a dilemma: what we like will never be understood by the previous generation and the next generation."

"The Mayday we have chased, the Pirate Hokage we love to watch, the Zhuxian Wukong we have read, and the Warcraft Dota we have played, are all insignificant in the eyes of the previous generation and the next generation."

"The movie is enough to break the wall of this age. It can prove to everyone that the things that make us cry are valuable. Our youth is not cheap."

"But "Zhu Xian" with such poor quality really doesn't deserve to represent anyone's youth, it will only shame us."

"It's not "Zhu Xian", but it is "Zhu Xian", so I can't forgive it."

"It's just a pity that all feelings cannot escape the fate of being a business."

The audience was very angry. The original book of "Zhu Xian" is about the struggle between characters and their fate. The main idea is that people's fate should be in their own hands.

Not so with movies.

If you leave the original work aside, the word-of-mouth of this movie will not be the same.Although the quality is average, it is a big investment after all, and it is worth seeing.

Its fault lies in the fact that under the banner of "Zhu Xian", it tells the story of "circling money".

On the first day of Zhu Xian's premiere, due to pre-sales and publicity, the box office exceeded 8.0 million, and the score was [-] points, which is not bad.

But then, both the box office and word of mouth collapsed.

The score has been declining all the way, heading straight to 4 points. This is because the director hired a group of sailors in time to barely stop the downward trend.

But subsequent results were still poor.

The director was dumbfounded, the investor was dumbfounded, and the lead actor Yuan Jiaming was also dumbfounded.

The director Zhu Chi started to talk badly in front of the capital, saying that the box office was so poor because the lead actor was not well-known.

In fact, the quality of the movie has something to do with the leading actor, but the relationship will not affect word-of-mouth. Obviously, the director is looking for someone to take the blame.

Yuan Jiaming was not happy anymore, Dong Wei hurriedly held a press conference, insinuating how careless the director team was when filming this movie.

In short, the two sides shirk each other, but the results are already like this, which must have an impact on both parties.

Yuan Jiaming's reputation in the mainstream media has declined precipitously. When investors see him during casting, they will weigh in their hearts whether they will use him next.

This is what bad movies do to actors.

Yuan Jiaming and Dong Wei didn't expect things to turn out like this. They thought they could soar into the sky with the help of a big IP, but who knew it would be a big pit.

When they looked back, they realized why Hong Chen made such a choice at that time.

This Hong Chen is a bit powerful.

Therefore, apart from the decent box office on the first day, the box office of "Zhu Xian" continued to decline in the following days.

Wang Yao watched the news on the Internet in the office, and frowned for the first time.

"What's going on? There have been a lot of criticisms about movies in the past, but they can still make money. Why did this movie's box office collapse like this?"

Wang Yao also couldn't figure it out.

Hong Chen's team, apart from Ge Chen and Wang Shaoqi, supported Hong Chen before, and the other team members had a lot of private discussions about him giving up the male lead in "Zhu Xian".

Now he immediately casts himself in admiration for Hong Chen.

Hong Chenzao had expected such a result, so he didn't feel too much emotion.

A week later, on the second weekend of July, another movie "I'm Not the God of Medicine" was released.
