tearjerker director

Chapter 89 First Day Box Office and Word of Mouth

April [-]th is gone in a blink of an eye.

After all, the number of spectators in the zero-point field is small, so the control and criticism are quite obvious.

Therefore, the impact of word of mouth is not so obvious.

On April [-]th, the box office grossed more than [-] million yuan, and three of the newly released movies accounted for more than [-]% of the box office.

"Deadly Companion" directed by Wu Junming topped the list with a box office of 4500 million on the first day.

Huang Zhenyi's "Heroes of the Walled City" ranked second with a box office of 3200 million.

And "Mom Loves Me Again" had fewer films on the first day than the first two, but thanks to the strong publicity in the early stage of the film, although it was not as good as the first two, it also won 2800 million box office on the first day.

After the box office was released that day, everyone was happy.

However, after the first day of release, the word-of-mouth of the three films began to change significantly.

On the popular film review website, "Deadly Companion" has been rated by more than 8.5 people, but the overall score has dropped from 7.0 points after zero to [-] points.

And most of the comments below said that painting a tiger in "Fatal Companion" is not an anti-dog, and the word of mouth can be said to have plummeted.

In fact, this is also the situation that often occurs in most "imitation" movies.

However, "Fatal Companion" is not the one with the worst reputation drop, the worst one is "The Legend of the Walled City".

Just after midnight earlier, "Legend of Heroes of the Walled City" scored as high as 8.4 points due to the control of reviews, but in just one day, the overall score dropped directly to 6.2 points.

Although it is said that with the increase in the number of movie viewers and the number of people participating in scoring, there will be some declines in the overall evaluation of movies, but in one day, it directly drops from an excellent movie with 8.4 points to a passable movie with 6.2 points, but it is real. Word of mouth Waterloo.

As for "The Legend of the Walled City", the biggest problem is still an old one.

"The balance of feelings is not enough. Apart from the protagonist of "The Legend of the Walled City", these supporting characters have too little sense of existence. Except for the familiar faces, there are only unforgettable feelings left."

Among them was a short comment, which was liked and pinned to the top: "You beat the young and Dangerous in the Walled City, but you can never get back the old Hong Kong movies."

And these are actually good reviews.

The real bad reviews are that many viewers are dissatisfied with the old-fashioned and outdated plot of the movie.

"Old stories, old routines, you can indeed see a lot of classic shadows, but too many shadows make you lose yourself. The story is too twists and turns, bizarre and complicated, what should be deleted should not be deleted, what should be detailed should not be detailed, and the details will be too abrupt. It lacks convincing, and it might be better to shoot a 20-episode TV series with more details. The action scenes, I don’t know if they are to highlight the taste of old Hong Kong movies, but they are still all kinds of old-fashioned gun battles and explosions, but I don’t know that there are only feelings. Not long."

"Is the so-called rejuvenation of old Hong Kong films the shadow of various classic Hong Kong films? Sorry, brother, the times are different!"

"Maybe it's because I want to please the mainland audience. The whole movie is more like a legal documentary about the police and robbers chasing, rather than the bloody and passionate police and gangster rivers and lakes that are unique to Hong Kong Island in the past. There are feelings for success and feelings for failure. !"

In fact, "Heroes of the Walled City" can be said to be a microcosm of Hong Kong Island movies that are mostly revived with the feelings of Hong Kong movies.

There's nothing new about it except for emotion.

Probably because of the feeling of selling Hong Kong movies in the early years, the old audiences bought it especially, which led to the fact that Huang Zhenyi, a group of old Hong Kong directors, every time they make a film, the first thing they think of is to sell their feelings!However, it has neglected that old audiences will always grow old, and even old audiences like new things, old ones, outdated is outdated.

What's interesting is that some viewers also mentioned "Mom Loves Me Again" next door!
Although Li Yi graduated from the Beijing Film Academy, his father is Li Zhenye, and he grew up on Hong Kong Island when he was young.

The same is also a director from Hong Kong Island.

"I don't know when it started. It seems that many well-known old directors in Hong Kong Island have left their feelings and don't know how to make movies. Why don't they learn from the next door "Mom Loves Me Again". It turns out that people don't rely on selling feelings. Can make a good movie!"

The word-of-mouth of "Mom Loves Me Again" is in stark contrast to "Heroes of the Walled City".

Earlier, "Mom Loves Me Again" had a score of only 8.2 on the popular film review website. Of course, this is mainly because there is no review control.

Because the tap water score is higher than 8 points, there is no need to control the evaluation.

However, one day after its release, the score of "Mom Loves Me Again" on the popular film review website did not decrease, but increased by 0.1 points to 8.3 points.

The key is that the number of people scoring is actually higher than the previous two, with nearly [-] people participating in scoring.

"The same director from Hong Kong Island, "Mom Loves Me Again" sells not feelings, but extreme sensation!"

"The old-fashioned plot of the movie is often derogatory, but here, it has become a compliment, because even if you know that the plot of this movie is old-fashioned and sensational, it can still make people cry Fool."

There are more film reviews, but each audience shares their own and mother's stories!

"After watching the movie, I booked a bus ticket overnight. When I got home today, I just told my mother that I missed her and the food she cooked, but my mother thought something happened to me. In the end, she quietly I quickly took out a passbook, and there was a sum of deposits in it, but I couldn't stop crying after reading it, because every time I gave my mother the money, she didn't touch a penny. This is my mother. Ah, always, forever, the mother who will only think about us children!"

"For me who had no mother since I was a child, watching this movie is like a knife stabbing my chest. The only thing I can do: cry until my heart is broken. Fate has already been written. In the next life, I want to have a mother."

"According to a friend's recommendation, I took my mother to watch this movie. When I watched it, the mother and daughter cried a lot. Then after returning, the mother said to me with a look of resentment: "Don't you hurry up and find someone else?" Object, your mother and I are really going crazy, I can only let your mother accompany you to watch a movie! "Suddenly speechless!"

"It's very embarrassing and ashamed. After watching this movie, I thought it was Mother's Day. I called my mother to say happy holidays. My mother smiled and said to me, "Let's have fun together. I was dumbfounded! So old Mom thought I was telling her Happy Labor Day!"

Li Yi and Mu Nanxing both breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, Li Yi is not fully sure about "Mom Loves Me Again".

After all, this movie was born quite a long time ago.

And now, although the box office on the first day did not sweep the country as I remembered it, it also proved that some things will not change with the passage of time. The things that touched you back then are still the same today Can touch you!
It's like Li Yi in my memory. I saw it when I was a child in my previous life, and I cried in a mess, but when I grew up, I still couldn't stop crying when I watched it again.
