The King of Huayu Science Fiction

Chapter 521
"The opening of the Shanghai International Film Festival welcomes the king bomb! "The Wandering Earth" explodes in Shanghai!"

"Take the earth to wander, 7 million science fiction blockbusters compose a magnificent epic of mankind!"

"The summer war blockbuster "Apocalypse Eight Hundred" has been well-received, and the highlight is exposed: bloody and heroic, and the scene is shocking!"

"Guo Fan + Wu Jing, the ace combination creates another domestic sci-fi masterpiece"

"The whole process of "The Wandering Earth" is full of fire, and the special effects are perfect. After the screening, all the audience stood up and applauded!"

""Apocalypse Eight Hundred" received rave reviews and was praised as the strongest domestic war blockbuster!"

"After-view of "The Wandering Earth": stubbornness, sincerity, bravery, and nobility, the sci-fi imagination of DreamWorks seems to be endless!"

""The Eight Hundred Apocalypse" has released word-of-mouth reviews! It restores the hard-core war scenes, and the plot is so real that it can be called a tearjerker!"

Chen Jingxing clicked on one of the news and read the comments.

[This word-of-mouth explosion, that word-of-mouth explosion, and word-of-mouth explosion everywhere, it hasn't been released yet, so the marketing is so vigorous? 】

[Haha, it’s not that you don’t know the marketing factory’s skills. Patriotic Factory plus Guo Fan, the main melody professional, plus Captain Spike, the smell is too strong. Captain Spike is going to save all mankind this time, right?]

[The sour chicken came so fast, but unfortunately the more violent the ptsd attack, the higher the box office of DreamWorks]

[I've been looking forward to "The Wandering Earth" for a long time just by watching the trailer. Master Wu has changed to be an astronaut this time, and my Maizi...]

[I'm not surprised that "The Wandering Earth" has a good reputation. The setting itself is very attractive. The imagination and execution of the DreamWorks screenwriter can still be trusted. Is "Eight Hundred Revelation" also such a good reputation?I think I have to wait and see]

[My classmate bought a screening ticket yesterday and said it was really good-looking, shocking and moving, it is best to bring a tissue when watching it, it will really burst into tears]

["Eight Hundred Apocalypse" is definitely not marketing, it's really good-looking, and it doesn't mean to push it, I don't think it loses to "Operation Red Sea" and "Spike II", it's even better looking, with a more humanistic atmosphere]

[They all said that they have seen "Eight Hundred", what about "The Wandering Earth"?Aren't they all showing up?Why is no one talking about "The Wandering Earth"? 】

[The screenings of "The Wandering Earth" are too few, we have screenings of "Eight Hundred", but not "The Wandering Earth"]

[Various media, film critics]

[DreamWorks put it here again to play hunger marketing]

[Anyway, it's about to be released soon, what's the hurry?The more good movies there are, the more audiences will benefit]

Chen Jingxing put down his cell phone, and said to Xiang Xuan, "If you know yourself and the enemy, you can win a hundred battles, so let's go and have a look. Isn't Lao Guo going to the road show tomorrow? Call him too."

Chen Jingxing and Guo Fan really didn't have time to watch "The Eight Hundred Revelations". After all, this movie was also screened at the same time as "The Wandering Earth" from yesterday, the first day after the opening of the film festival.

Although there have been a lot of online movie reviews and feedback, you still have to experience it yourself to know for sure.

There are still many screenings of "Eight Hundred" in Shanghai, and some of them are press conferences. Basically, as long as Chen Jingxing shows his tone, Jingying will definitely invite Chen Jingxing and others to attend.

However, Chen Jingxing was afraid of trouble. After all, if he was really invited to watch an on-demand screening, if the reporter asked him a question about his opinion on the movie after the broadcast, would Chen Jingxing still be able to tear it down?Naturally, praise is the main thing.

Wouldn't that be a wedding dress for a competitor?

Guan Hu and his wife, who attended the opening of the film festival, quietly left after the screening of "The Wandering Earth", and did not allow reporters to ask about their feelings about watching the film.

Chen Jingxing's evaluation weight is higher than Guan Hu's. It's strange that the media doesn't report it extensively. Naturally, people can't let people take advantage of it for nothing.

……

There is a certain sad atmosphere lingering in the theater, which makes people feel heavy.

"I think the degree of tragedy is even higher than "Red Sea" and "Spike II", but the sensationalism is a bit too much." Xiang Xuan said thoughtfully.

Tragedy is not necessarily detrimental to the box office. To a certain extent, this is also a tear-jerking element, which can strengthen the emotional impact and enhance the audience's viewing experience.

Guo Fan gave a relatively high evaluation from the perspective of film production, and his expression was a little dignified: "In terms of its own film production level, it is already the highest level in the film industry, and the money is not wasted."

The special effects team of "Eight Hundred Apocalypse" invited four Hollywood special effects teams to create together. Big, unable to spare manpower and resources, so Jingying declined.

But asking a top foreign special effects company to produce it does not explain anything, and it has no necessary connection with the final presentation effect. As a director who has been making heavy industrial films since joining DreamWorks, Guo Fan knows this very well.

Special effects are not only what you pay for, but also require the director and production team to understand special effects, be able to do less useless work, and establish an industrialized production process.

And it can be seen from this movie that the 5.5 million production cost claimed by Jingying is not too much.

Unlike Guo Fan's serious expression, Chen Jingxing did not have much reaction. To be exact, the movie did not surprise him.

Compared with the "Eight Hundred" in the previous life, the "Eight Hundred Revelation" in this plane has not much difference in the general plot line except for a lot of changes in the cast.

Chen Jingxing was a little disappointed.

He thought that the standard of censorship in this plane was much larger than that of his previous life, and he had passed the censorship a year in advance, maybe Jingying could keep some passages they liked.

It turned out that the film bureau was quite kind, otherwise he would definitely let Jingying learn a big lesson again.

For example, in the previous life "Eight Hundred", an important segment that was stuck by the film bureau and had to be deleted after a long time of exhaustion - the Dongying civilian reporter who was hanged to death.

A civilian reporter in the lease, when he saw the atrocities of the Japanese army on the other side, felt angry. He did not agree with the bloody aggression of the Japanese army, so he cursed the invading army in Japanese dialect by the river.

After being discovered by the rented people, they thought he was a Japanese spy, and were hanged by angry people.

To be honest, Chen Jingxing, who was an ordinary audience in his previous life, felt that this confusing plot was incomprehensible.

A man from Japan who opposed massacres and violence stood on the side of ordinary people in Huaguo, but died at the hands of the people of Huaguo in the end. What is the significance of fictional characters and stories that have no prototype in history?
What are you trying to satirize?Victim becomes perpetrator?Sarcastic nationalist fanaticism?Or anti-war?
Even if you satirize nationalist fanaticism, you can't satirize the victims, can you?Not to mention irony based on fiction.

One side is the real atrocities of the aggressor, and the other is a fictional story about a victim accidentally killing a good person in the enemy country. Is it to make the two sides seem to have back and forth, and make Huaguo look less like a perfect victim?
Just mind-boggling.

It can only be attributed to the fact that some literary and art workers are not down-to-earth, and have no sense of right and wrong to move themselves.

If this clip hadn't been deleted, Chen Jingxing would definitely be able to teach the marketing department of DreamWorks an unforgettable lesson for the opponent.

Netizens nowadays are quite sensitive.

"The whole thing is really good, the emotional rendering is a bit too much, but this is not a shortcoming, but the plot of the British soldiers in the concession at the end who was moved and then yelled at Japan and shot was a bit nonsensical."

After hearing Chen Jingxing's complaints, Guo Fan thought about it and laughed a little: "It's true. It's a bit funny when you think about it carefully, but the overall emotional creation is not bad, enough to make people ignore this point. You see it more carefully than I do."

There are aggressors on both sides, and the aggressor is moved by the army of the victim country to beat the other aggressor. It is also used as a close-up and placed in the final result. It is speechless to think about it for a while. It can only be said that the brain hole is a bit strange.

Probably, it may be expressing that even the civilized colonists can't stand the atrocities of the Japanese invaders.

"However, these are all minor details. Overall, the quality is above the standard. The word-of-mouth reputation is a bit exaggerated but not too much."

The reason why Chen Jingxing was able to remain calm and criticize the film was mainly because he was no stranger to this story, and it wasn't true that he read it more carefully than Guo Fan and others.

But in fact, these shortcomings are not important, because the overall quality of "Eight Hundred Revelation" is indeed excellent, especially the first half, Chen Jingxing can score 8 points or higher, and the second half is a bit procrastinated, but also Can score 7 points.

As for saluting little girls, chanting slogans, lyrical slow motion, singing, giving thumbs up, etc., these overly sensational plots are not a shortcoming for commercial films.

Excessive sensationalism is the opinion of film critics or fans. This type of shortcoming does not affect the box office for ordinary audiences.

Guo Fan, as one of the few commercial film directors in China, naturally knows this well, so his expression became more serious.

The two films are separated by half a month, theoretically speaking, it is not enough to create a fundamental impact. After all, the first two weeks are basically the time when a film can get the most box office.

But it is impossible to say that there is no influence on each other.

"The Wandering Earth" has invested hundreds of millions of dollars, and even the second part has begun to enter the preparatory stage. Guo Fan's pressure can be imagined, this is a project that can only succeed but not fail.

The disadvantage of the schedule is already a headache. Seeing that the opponent is still so strong, it is no wonder that there is no murmur in my heart.

Chen Jingxing comforted: "Don't worry, I'm not worried at all, and I even urged you to make a sequel, what are you worried about?
Taking a long-term view, what I want is a movie series that can continue forever. Even if the box office of "The Wandering Earth" is suppressed by "Eight Hundred", it doesn't matter. There is no need to compete for the gains and losses of each city. "
