The King of Huayu Science Fiction

Chapter 495 The Stampede of Public Opinion and a New Record

""Wall-E" staged a shocking counterattack. Tomorrow's film schedule will surpass "Parallel Mission" and closely follow "Tang Detective III". The animated film has played the leading role for three consecutive years. Experts say that my country's film market has undergone structural changes."

"WALL-E will land in South Korea, Malaysia and Australia the day after tomorrow. The word of mouth in China has spread overseas, and the volume of discussions on the Internet is amazing!"

"Chen Sicheng responds to controversial topics such as disrespect for women in "Tang Detective III"."

"Master Xing confirmed at the Yangcheng Cinema's offline fan meeting that the movie was a dream, and netizens said they couldn't accept it."

""Tang Detective III" is an anti-war theme? Chen Sicheng responded that the audience did not understand the core value of the film."

"The reporter interviewed the theater manager. The film schedule of "Tang Detective III" will continue to decrease, and the counterattack of "Wall-E" has not yet come to an end?"

Xiang Xuan, the director of "Robot Wall-E", flicked the screen of his mobile phone, with a smile on his lips all the time, then looked back at Chen Jingxing who had just hung up the phone and asked, "Is it Director Chen Sicheng?"

Chen Jingxing hung up the phone with a sigh of relief, and raised his eyebrows: "Who else could it be? Who made us the producer of "Tang Detective III"?"

"You don't care?"

"What should I do?" Chen Jingxing said with an innocent face, "I want to help him, how can I help?"

Although "Wall-E" is not Chen Jingxing's own movie, but considering the disadvantages of the subject matter and the many and strong competitors, Chen Jingxing and Xiang Xuan, the director of this animated film, also worked together to promote "Wall-E" and traveled across the country. Several first-tier cities.

"Wall-E" is booming here, with more and more films scheduled every day, but in the relatively saturated film market during the Spring Festival, the rules of the schedule game are close to zero-sum games, so the "Wall-E" lineup is naturally taken from other movies. over here.

Therefore, other film studios did not enjoy it as much as Chen Jingxing and Xiang Xuan.

Anxiety can make the population speechless.

The first is "The New King of Comedy", a classic story of a small person in the film and television industry leading to success.

"Xin Xi" can be regarded as the film with the worst reputation in the Spring Festival. In addition to the lack of laughter throughout the whole process and the criticism of the actors' embarrassing acting skills, the most important point of criticism is the shocking reversal near the end.

It is a little unacceptable for the audience to directly call this bend, and of course there are two kinds of guesses. One is that everything in the ending of the heroine Rumeng is a dream, that is, there was a car accident on the night of riding, and what happened later Everything is a dream.

The other school of thought is that the plot of this movie is mediocre, and failure is failure.

Unexpectedly, Master Xing admitted it directly, yes, all this is a dream.

Fans of Master Xing naturally lead the movie in a direction with profound connotations, thinking that the setting of the dream is great, and the finishing touch directly sublimates the whole movie.

To make a routine film about a small person succeeding through hard work has been turned into an anti-routine film and a tragedy. The success of the small person is completely a dream, a fantasy.

But for most viewers, this is too much nonsense.

Chen Jingxing himself also felt that it was quite outrageous, and attributed most of the plots in the movie to dreams. The last movie like this was "Inception".

If it is not a sci-fi movie, this kind of dream setting can be called the lowest level of plot setting, because it will dissolve the meaning of the entire movie, and Huaguo ghost movies don't bother to end in this way.

A mediocre or even embarrassing plot doesn't elevate the whole movie just because it's all a dream.

So although Star Master's fans are also very effective, it still can't prevent "Xinxi" Douban from falling directly into the ranks of the first 5, a standard bad movie.

Of course, in order to complete the bet, the movie itself, which was filmed in more than a month, did not have much box office expectations, and it was not considered the most eye-catching blockbuster.

However, "Tang Detective III", as the most watched blockbuster during the Spring Festival, has a bigger reputation and greater influence.

Although the quality of the previous work "Tang Detective II" has dropped a lot, the suspenseful story line borrowed from it is really good, so it still has 7 points.

And "Tang Detective III" is all-round hip-pull. Except for the part of the hospital elevator that makes people laugh--it also caused controversy about disrespect for women. The other parts are farce-style comedies, and the suspenseful reasoning is Fully weakened.

As a reasoning comedy movie that the audience is looking forward to, and because the audience's viewing gap is relatively large, the score also fell below 6 points.

The most frightening thing is that in the same period, there were 9 distractions like "Robot Wall-E".

This made Chen Sicheng a little restless. Obviously, everyone has filters for their children, and the director is no exception.

Chen Sicheng really thinks "Tang Detective III" is very good, it is a masterpiece with a high degree of completion in both comedy and suspense reasoning.

Naturally, such remarks as "The main purpose of "Tang Detective III" is anti-war" and "the audience did not understand the core of this movie" appeared.

This, of course, sparked another round of jeers.

Moreover, Chen Sicheng was not rational and led the war to DreamWorks.

"I appeal to the audience to give more tolerance and praise to all Chinese films, instead of some people stepping on each other in this industry. If this is the case, Chinese films will become more and more difficult."

This even aroused the backlash from fans of Chen Jingxing and DreamWorks.

These words are too directional, because there is indeed a so-called trampling of public opinion at present, that is, "Wall-E" tramples on all other movies, including "Tang Detective III" of course.

Chen Jingxing is also somewhat dissatisfied with these remarks, which is obviously accusing DreamWorks of intentionally setting off this round of "praising one and trampling one" on the Internet, thereby crowding out the filming schedule of "Tang Detective III".

But after all, Chen Jingxing was the big winner and the beneficiary. He was in a good mood and didn't want to argue, and it wasn't necessary. "Tang Detective III" also had DreamWorks' investment.

It's just that Jing Fan and Meng Chui stopped doing it, and coupled with the vast audience who like "Wall-E", Chen Sicheng immediately paid the price for his unscrupulous remarks.

The stampede and group ridicule not only did not stop but became more intense.

Maybe Chen Sicheng also realized it later, so he called Chen Jingxing himself, first apologized for his unintentional remarks, and then asked Chen Jingxing for help.

Considering that DreamWorks still has close to [-]% of the investment share in "Tang Detective III".

But Chen Jingxing was neither willing nor willing to help.

Can he really speak on Weibo and admit that the core of "Tang Detective III" is anti-war?You viewers don't understand?Is it in the dark?
When he first heard Chen Sicheng say the connotation of Nima's anti-war, he was also confused.

As one of the producers of "Tang Detective III", Chen Jingxing has of course watched the finished film more than once. He really didn't see any anti-war theme in "Tang Detective III"—except for the shocking ending at the end. The awkward Heal the World song.

It is the first time he has seen how anti-war can be expressed with a single song at the end of the credits.

It's not that he didn't make any comments, it's just that DreamWorks has become a mere investor, and Chen Sicheng just ignored it.

Chen Jingxing has always cherished feathers very much, so naturally it is impossible to speak against his conscience.

As for coming forward to persuade his fans and fans to stop attacking and ridiculing Chen Sicheng and "Tang Detective III", he is also unwilling to do it, and he himself is a little upset.

Besides, even for the sake of investing in "Tang Detective III", he also feels that the box office of this movie is actually not bad. Even if there is a stampede of public opinion, the box office of "Tang Detective III" can basically exceed 30 billion Off, but if you think about it, it's unlikely to go up.

As the word-of-mouth of "Wall-E" continues to ferment, and other major competitors' hip-pulls, the main creators also speak all kinds of words, which leads to more serious trampling and division of public opinion, and the pursuit of "Tang Detective III" is also increasing. closer.

In fact, the theater is very happy to transfer the schedule of other movies to "Wall-E", mainly because "Wall-E" is an animated film with a duration of only 90 minutes, which is lower than all live-action movies in the Spring Festival.

Animated films should take into account children's viewing experience, so usually the films are not too long.

Comparing a 90-minute movie with other movies that average about two hours, it is self-evident who the theater likes, and how many more shows can be scheduled in a day.

And "Wall-E" officially surpassed "Tang Detective III" at the box office in Japan on the eighth day just after the Spring Festival holiday.

The cumulative box office has also reached 15.2 billion. According to the current box office trend, there is no obstacle to the 20 billion mark, and it is even expected to reach 25 billion.

"Wall-E" is also destined to become Huaguo's first animated film with a box office breaking 20 billion, setting a new record.

However, "Tang Detective III" was robbed of some films by "Wall-E" due to the failure of word of mouth. , the goal of 23 billion is even more impossible to achieve.
