The King of Huayu Science Fiction

Chapter 227 An Unexpected Viewing Experience
The official announcement of "Matrix" disappointed both the media and netizens. First of all, the name of the movie has no gimmicks. Although it sounds like a sci-fi movie, the name does not have much impact, and it does not have "The Night the Comet Came". can arouse people's curiosity.

The naming style is similar to "Signal", which is compelling but not interesting.

If Chen Jingxing really continued to use the original movie "The Matrix" in the previous life, maybe it would really spark some topics.

In fact, the most important thing is that "Fantasy City" and "Tang Detective" will be released back to back. This is basically the most watched film in the second half of the summer. The official announcement of "Matrix" has nothing to do with this "turbulent sea". Too big a splash.

Of course, the most eye-catching one is actually "Fantasy City". Just Wu Tingxuan's first film, Guo Xiaosi's best-selling novel adaptation, star-studded lineup, epic trilogy and other buffs made him a natural media and topic topic focus.

Even though many people hate Guo Xiaosi and Wu Tingxuan, it's not a day or two for Guo Xiaosi to be hated and complained about, and it doesn't affect the 18 billion box office of his "Little Times" series.

Top performers such as Wu Tingxuan have hundreds of millions of fans. Both the singles and magazines released before have proved that not only the number of fans but also the amazing purchasing power.

"Fantasy City" is a well-deserved protagonist, and the pre-sales also reflect this. The pre-sale box office has exceeded 1 million in three days since its release, which reminds people of "Young Avengers" in April, although Wu Tingxuan's fans should not There are so many fans of American manga, but the fanaticism is even higher.

The astonishing pre-sale results have led Maoyan Movies to raise the box office forecast of "Fantasy City" to 14 billion. After all, many schools will start in late August, and the summer vacation is coming to an end. I'm afraid the word-of-mouth of "Fantasy City" cannot be too optimistic, and the theme is not the family fun of "Monster Hunt".

And most of the popularity of "Tang Detective" is due to "Illusion City", which was brought about by Chen Jingxing's bombardment that the popular top stream has no box office appeal.

Of course, the media will not underestimate this film, but Chen Sicheng's current word-of-mouth is indeed at its lowest point, which to a certain extent has dragged down the audience's favorability for the film. The trickery of "Northern Love" is still vivid.

But after all, it is a comedy theme, and the trailers released before the movie also feature comedy elements. Wang Baoqiang is also very appealing. Coupled with the platform and marketing of Chen Jingxing and DreamWorks, Maoyan Movie has given a box office of 5-7 million It is estimated that depending on the word-of-mouth, the highest is less than half of that of "Illusion City".

According to the highest point of 7 million, in fact, the actual box office is not much different from the actual box office of the previous world, but the original version is not strong in publicity. This time there is DreamWorks, and the file is set for summer vacation. The box office of 7 million may be Chen Sicheng Already satisfied, but Chen Jingxing was by no means satisfied.

……

The big screen was plunged into darkness, and after the joyous "Sawadika" theme song sounded, many viewers were immersed in the sudden reversal near the end of the movie and did not recover.

After the lights were turned on, nearly half of the audience did not get up and walk towards the exit, but discussed the plot with each other amid cheerful singing. It can be said that for most audiences, the quality and plot of this movie exceeded their expectations .

"Well, listen to me, right? Is it worth the ticket price?" Ling Luoqiu turned to look at her college roommate and best friend, and swept the remaining half bucket of popcorn in her hand, proudly Said lazily.

The best friend reluctantly admitted: "Well, this movie is really beyond my expectations. Although it was a bit noisy at the beginning, the case is really interesting and the suspenseful atmosphere is well created. But you haven't seen it before. You can only Say you were right."

She doesn't really have much feeling for comedy, especially Wang Baoqiang's bluffing in the trailer, and the director Chen Sicheng has no historical achievements to give her trust. When she thinks of comedies and farces with yelling and exaggerated expressions , she couldn't arouse any interest in watching movies.

If it weren't for a good friend who insisted on pulling her to contribute to the box office, it would be absolutely impossible for her, a college student, to waste 30 yuan on a movie that she thinks is not worth it.

Adhering to the principle of coming here, at least to fill her stomach, she bought a big bucket of popcorn, ready to pass the boring and mentally retarded slapstick movie, but she didn't expect that after 10 minutes of the movie, she would be unknowingly caught by the plot. I was attracted, and after the suspenseful elements began to appear later, I even forgot the big bucket of popcorn in my hand, and watched the end heartily in one breath.

Regarding her best friend's dead mouth, Ling Luoqiu had a plausible argument: "I haven't seen it, but I know it's a movie invested by Chen Jingxing."

"Your tone is no different from Wu Tingxuan's fans."

Ling Luoqiu seemed confident and confident: "How can Wu Tingxuan be compared to Chen Jingxing? If he starred in four good movies or even good TV series in a row, I can go to the cinema to support him without thinking.

I'm not a fan of brains. Chen Jingxing's historical achievements have proved that his vision and level are worthy of the unconditional trust of movie fans. "

My best friend cut it out: "Then when buying the tickets, who said 'if it wasn't for the movie produced by Chen Jingxing, I wouldn't have contributed to Chen Sicheng's box office, so I should pay back the movie ticket to Chen Jingxing', who said that? "

Ling Luoqiu's face flushed slightly, she actually didn't have much confidence in the quality of "Tang Detective", and it was entirely out of support for Chen Jingxing and hated Wu Tingxuan and Guo Xiaosi that she dragged her girlfriends to the theater to watch "Tang Detective" , I also made psychological preparations for the movie to be not very good.

Because although she is a fan of Chen Jingxing's movies, she has watched several of Chen Jingxing's movies many times, but "Fatal Identity" was not watched in a movie theater, so she comforted herself that if it was a bad movie, she would pay back the movie ticket.

"Having confidence in Chen Jingxing only means that I think "Tang Detective" is a good movie with a high probability, and it's not directed or written by Chen Jingxing, so I can't be sure that it won't happen with a small probability."

Ling Luoqiu changed the subject immediately after she made a strong argument: "But the reversal at the end really scared me, that little girl's smile was really scary."

"I was also taken aback, feeling a bit like the scary smile of the little boy in the last scene of "Fatal Identity"."

"Chen Sicheng must have borrowed from my Jingshen's "Fatal Identity", but the effect is really good..."

The movie-watching experience of Ling Luoqiu and her girlfriends is not an exception. After the premiere of "Detective Chinatown", word-of-mouth quickly spread, whether it is film critics or ordinary audiences, the evaluation of the film is very good.

The word that appeared the most was "surprise".

The reason is that the story and presentation of "Tang Detective" have indeed exceeded the expectations of most audiences.
