Huayu, my wife, I support myself

Chapter 381 381. Feelings 【Subscription】

"These are the movies coming out in February,"

When he came to the company the next day, Zeng Jia showed Lu Chen the list, which contained detailed information on all upcoming movies in February.

It is estimated that the producers of these films are also working on the same burden.

""Warcraft"" Lu Chen was slightly stunned.

Seeing Lu Chen's expression, Zeng Jia asked curiously: "Do you think this movie will be our strong enemy?"

Lu Chen laughed and said, "How is it possible?"

The reason why Lu Chen was stunned was because this game was his youth.

In terms of overall evaluation, "Warcraft" is a qualified fantasy movie.

For ordinary players, there is such an opportunity to pay for their feelings and youth in the cinema, what more can they ask for?

For hardcore plot players, there are too many things to complain about: such as the facial modeling of orc culture, and the rough changes to the already perfect plot logic.

This story is not the director's own.

But the director wanted to make this story his own.

So, while qualified.

But only qualified.

The director gave up the story told by Blizzard in the film language in "The Last Guardian", and also gave up more communication with the game.

A lot of shots are used for meaningless fights, and a lot of scenes are given to the almost original ambiguous scene between Lothar and Garona, which is neither touching nor caring for the audience's sense of substitution.

In terms of lines, there are bright spots, but the ability to explain the problem and promote the storyline is relatively weak.

This is Lu Chen's evaluation after watching this movie in the last world.

be honest.

Lu Chen was really not worried about the quality of this movie. The quality of "Warcraft" was definitely not comparable to "King Kong".

Lu Chen was more worried.

"Warcraft" players will not be crazy?
If the players are as crazy as before, it will definitely have a certain impact on "King Kong".

"The boss is worried about the players of "Warcraft"?"

Lu Chen nodded and said, "There's no way not to worry."

Just how popular is World of Warcraft?
Everyone knows that World of Warcraft is a classic MMORPG that has been popular for 18 years. Since its birth, it has occupied the first place in the MMORPG (massively multiplayer online role-playing game) category.

So how many players does World of Warcraft have, and how big is the gap between it and No.2?
The answer is obvious. The advantage of World of Warcraft over other games is much greater than most people imagined. Even the nostalgic server derived from it can occupy the current position of the fourth largest online game in the world.

According to website statistics, the most popular game in game history is World of Warcraft, which has over 1.2 million players, and No.2 is Destiny 2, which has over 4000 million players; obviously World of Warcraft has too much advantage over No.2 , which is more than three times its volume.

The total number of players in the World of Warcraft nostalgic server is also very amazing. As a fried rice game, there are actually 2700 million players who have played this game, ranking 7th in the world.

After a pause, Lu Chen continued: "However, don't worry, "Warcraft" is not easy to change, and the director probably won't be able to control it. From its overseas box office, we can conclude that this movie should not be very good. ..."

This is the truth.

That's why Zeng Jia wasn't worried at all.

but,

Don't worry, I don't worry, but for the "Warcraft" players.

They really don't have a good idea.

When World of Warcraft was launched in the 60s, perhaps only those who have experienced that era can understand how crazy the players were.

When current players talk about farming artifacts, energy, and rice, they think of liver, but the craziness of World of Warcraft in the 60s may have exceeded your imagination.

There are examples of this online.

A player's right eye suddenly went dark, and he couldn't see anything for a long time, so he insisted on finishing the game.

After playing with it, I checked it, it may be a retinal detachment.

Such examples are not rare.

At night, he was drunk and got into a fight with others and got 13 stabs all over his body. Among them, his left hand was injured in the tendon of the tee and the ribs, and then 2 cm above the ribs, it was stabbed in the heart.

These two places were the heaviest. I was bleeding all over, and my jacket and underwear were all soaked. I had to drink boiled water to get through the night. Then I borrowed money for stitches during the day, and played with my right hand at night.

In addition, there are permanent Internet cafes.

This word seems to have appeared only because of the appearance of Warcraft.

Many people eat and drink in Internet cafes because of World of Warcraft and never go out.

There is a joke on the Internet that describes it like this.

"There are no more cigarettes in the Internet cafe. When I go out to buy cigarettes, I open the door and say the first thing: I'm X, it's winter?"

For the sake of the game, it is not uncommon to lose love.

Therefore, feelings are priceless.

There is no solution.

It's a bit like "the owed box office should be paid back".

However, the other party's propaganda did not mean that.

This is the reason why Zeng Jia and Lu Chen didn't pay much attention to the Warcraft movie.

"If I were to promote this movie, I can guarantee that the domestic box office will not be lower than 20 small targets," Zeng Jia said honestly.

This is indeed the truth, the movie only needs to find the target of the propaganda.

Play a hand of Warcraft feelings.

An absolute hit at the box office.

Pity.

What a pity.

Master Xing's "The Mermaid" was also placed at this time.

Lu Chen didn't expect it either.

Master Xing, who didn't shoot "The Demon Fu", actually made "The Mermaid".

Knowing that "Fu Yao Pian" will be scolded, don't you know that "The Mermaid" will not?

Under the attack of two sentimental films.

Lu Chen still felt a little stressed.

"Have you seen Master Xing's "The Mermaid"?"

"I see," Zeng Jia nodded.

"How about it?"

Zeng Jia shook her head and said, "It's really not that good. It gives me the feeling that it is the positive energy of the tall: love, environmental protection, ecology, science fiction."

Zeng Jia briefly talked about the general plot of "The Mermaid".

The more Lu Chen listened to it, the more he felt that this story seemed to be the one he had read in his previous life.

Turning a wealthy businessman into a green environmentalist, he can not only give up his wealth for the survival of the fish family, but even sacrifice his life for love. This not only subverts the fairy tale of Andersen's "The Mermaid", but also creates a new love myth.

Undoubtedly, it gave the audience a "worry-free pill", and everyone was healed in the "illusion" of love. From then on, businessmen stopped chasing profits, and humans and other creatures coexisted on an equal footing.

"So, Master Xing's version of "The Mermaid" still talks about the unity of the world." Lu Chen said pointedly.

"So, we have to pull ourselves together." Zeng Jia spread her hands.

He also said helplessly: "Master Xing is planning to cool himself down? Seeing that the ranking is about to surpass the national teacher, and now he has come here."

"You said it might be because of the gambling agreement?" Lu Chen joked.

Master Xing also has a gambling agreement.

"No way!" Zeng Jia couldn't believe it.

"Why not? Capital doesn't care about that." Lu Chen laughed.

Zeng Jia had a toothache for a moment.

He suddenly understood what Lu Chen said earlier.

"He has never been optimistic about these veteran directors in China."

How good is this?

I can't see it.

Because of the failure of "[-]", Director Feng was forced to shoot "Private Customization" to recover the loss.

just now.

Master Xing also filmed "The Mermaid" because of the suspected gambling agreement.

How can this be believed!

Out of "Warcraft" and "Mermaid", there is another one.

I saw this movie called "Journey to the West: Sun Wukong's Bone Essence".

Lu Chen had a slight toothache.

It's also here to play the emotional card.

the next few days.

The promotion of major movies is in full swing, whoever does the promotion well.It can also improve the film arrangement in theaters, can't it?

So it's understandable to invest more, but Lu Chen has already participated in many links.

When the movie is coming out.

On the contrary, he is the most leisurely person in the company.

no way.

The next thing will be done by professionals.

Lu Chen, who was a little bored, started the class visit mode.

First comes the animated film department.

Luo Zhen's "Kung Fu Panda 2" has new developments almost every day, and perhaps because of the relatively large investment, Lu Chen obviously feels that the quality of this movie is obviously higher than the first one. .

This is really a bold and reassuring look at it.

When thinking of "Kung Fu Panda 1", Luo Zhen's appearance of not daring to spend money, Lu Chen couldn't help laughing.

As for the light and shadow effects.

Some of the dinosaur data that Lu Chen needs has been researched almost.

Zhu Yi is in charge of the preliminary modeling. According to this progress, Lu Chen will be able to officially start filming "Jurassic Park" in the next year.

Time passed slowly.

On February 2th, "Warcraft" was released, and "The Mermaid" was released at the same time.

Although it belongs to the Spring Festival file like "King Kong".

But if we really want to be specific about the date, "Warcraft", "Mermaid" and "King Kong" are two weeks ahead of schedule.

Although there is no avoidance of the most competitive schedule, it is two weeks in advance.

Suffice it to say.

They didn't want to face Lu Chen face to face.

and.

Master Xing also wanted to use "Mermaid" to defeat "Warcraft" to save his reputation.

Lose if "Mermaid" and "King Kong" are released at the same time.

Definitely going to get in trouble.

But if he lost hundreds of opponents in the competition with "Warcraft".

That's not good to say.

Even a Hollywood blockbuster can beat it, and you call it rubbish.

Is it a little too much?
Unsurprisingly.

The same consumer sentiment, "Mermaid" is very fierce, and won more than 8 million box office in the first week.

See this box office.

To be honest, Lu Chen was a little surprised, but it wasn't surprising that "Mermaid" won 8 million box office.

But I was surprised that "Mermaid" only got 8 million box office.

To know,
"The Mermaid" was in Lu Chen's impression, but the first week's box office hit a record of 18 billion.

In just five days, it broke the previous highest box office record of 12.45 billion for the Spring Festival held by Master Xing's "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons".

The box office in the first week of its release was finally fixed at 18 billion, and it will be a new legend in mainland film history.

It directly made many people sigh: Only Master Xing himself can surpass Master Xing.

Online.

Talk about The Mermaid is all over the place.

There are various interpretations.

For example, in less than 3 minutes: Deng Chao, Lin Yun, Bai Ke, Kong Lianshun, Li Shangzheng, even curator Yang Neng, and "the head of the four beauties" Zhang Meixuan appeared one after another, giving performances different from the plot , but continued the film's full laughter.

In the clips, "The black cat sheriff is the combination of the black cat and the sheriff", "You have been run over by the compactor countless times", "We have handled many big cases, such as the vampire zombie corruption case and the alien bribery case , Dinosaur Drug Trafficking Case" and other plots are full of nonsensical and funny styles, making movie fans hooked.

He even said that "it is basically parallel to the brilliance of the film, and it is a big profit", "the deleted clips and the movie are combined to see the complete version".

It also opened the minds of viewers who haven't watched the film yet, and they are looking forward to the preconceptions of this wonderful clip, and they will have a more unique feeling after watching the feature film.

The countless classic loves in Master Xing's movies before are endlessly evocative, but this time he specially chose the "cross-species love" between man and mermaid to interpret his view of love.

From "I hope it is 1 years" to "1 years is too long to seize the day and night", and then to this time "Hello forever in the world", what remains unchanged is the praise of pure and beautiful love in Master Xing's heart.

In "The Mermaid", the secret love of the octopus and Ruolan's destructive love make the movie even more intertwined in a big net of love and hatred.

Some netizens said that seeing the scene of Deng Chao falling from the sky at the end, tears welled up in his eyes, not for anything else, but for finally fulfilling the happy ending of the "hero of the world" in his heart.

Some netizens said after watching the movie: "If you have to add a definition to love, then it must be 'invincible' than 'invincible'".

See the topic online.

After looking at the final box office of "Mermaid", you can know how many of these topics are spontaneously initiated by netizens.

Just when netizens were about to recover, these topics on the Internet were directly changed.

From various interpretations directly to the topic of defeating "Warcraft".

This topic immediately attracted the attention of many netizens.

after all.

Hollywood is still a mountain today.Such a topic is definitely attractive enough.

It's really out of rhythm this time.

The box office of "Warcraft" broke 5 million in the first week.

He was directly beaten by "Mermaid".

of course.

Master Xing was not feeling well either, the box office was far below their expectations.

Feelings are really not popular.

Many people can't help thinking.

Real-time quickly gave them the answer. In the second week, the box office growth rate of "The Mermaid" directly slowed down.

The total box office in the two weeks only barely broke 15 billion.It gives people a sense of sight that the audience doesn't seem to buy "Mermaid" very much.

of course,

This is only a small part of the view,
In the eyes of most people, Master Xing once again retained his dignity as the third domestic director.

No matter how you look at it.

There is basically no problem with the box office of "The Mermaid" breaking through 20 billion.

20 billion box office, if Lu Chen and Luo Zhen are excluded.

It is also the first in the country.

of course.

"The Mermaid" should have a box office of 20 billion.Because eyes from all directions are already focused on "King Kong" which will be released tomorrow.
