my movie years

Chapter 134
After buying movie tickets, popcorn and coke, Luo Dongrui and Xiang Andong waited for the movie to start.

Because tomorrow is still a working day, there are not many spectators watching the movie at midnight.

This movie theater is located in the bustling commercial district of Shanghai, and there are only more than 20 audiences, most of whom are male fans.

There are female movie fans, probably fans of Huang Xiaoming and Deng Chao.

Luo Dongrui and Xiang Andong chatted while looking for beautiful female movie fans.

"I heard that this movie is very mind-boggling, can you understand it then?" Luo Dongrui joked with his friends.

"Joke, my grades were so good when I was in school, I must have a smart head, I'm afraid you can't understand." Xiang Andong refused.

"Okay then," Luo Dongrui smiled, "Let's each write an afterthought after watching it, and see who makes sense."

"Write and write, whoever is afraid of whom."

So, the two good friends reached a decision in an instant.

Just at this time, the loudspeaker in the theater reminded that the tickets for "Fatal Magic" could be checked, and the two walked in nervously and expectantly.

Before seeing the movie, no one knows what kind of movie it is.

Previously, the premiere film reviews released by the media were mostly on the artistic level, or expressing thoughts on the director and actors.

The audience also knew that this was a story about two magicians fighting their skills, and they didn't know anything else.

And because of Deng Chao's funny promotional style before, I thought it was a comedy-style high-IQ movie.

Ye Xiaoyi was one of them. As a fan of Zhang Hao, she paid for the tickets as soon as the zero-point show opened, and more than 30 people bought tickets at once.

These are all members of Zhang Hao's Fan Club. Although there are not many people, they really like Zhang Hao's movies and Zhang Hao's good looks.

Jiang Zhicheng was also in the mix. In order to have a common topic to talk with the goddess, he put aside his prejudices and reluctantly watched the zero point scene with everyone.

Having watched "Genius Gunner" before, Zhang Hao successfully upgraded from a poor director to a poor director in Jiang Zhicheng's heart.

I don't know if Zhang Hao can let Zhang Hao upgrade this time in "Fatal Magic".

Although he licks all kinds of dogs, Jiang Zhicheng still can't lick Ye Xiaoyi's side.

Ye Xiaoyi sat in the best seat in the theater, surrounded by a few girlfriends, and a tall and handsome boy who also belonged to Zhang Hao's Fan Club, named Wu Dabian.

Don't look at the name like a big braid, but he is a real rich second generation, and he is also the vice president of the fan support club, and the president is Ye Xiaoyi.

Jiang Zhicheng looked at Wu Dazhuan with envious eyes. Dazhuan was sitting next to the goddess, chatting with her very happily.

The goddess laughed like a silver bell from time to time, obviously amused by the big braid's joke.

This made Jiang Zhicheng very dissatisfied. He could be a licking dog by his side, but he was not even qualified to lick a dog, so he could only be a lookout dog.

Before I had time to think about it, the movie started soon.

And as the movie progressed, Jiang Zhicheng, who was originally focused on Ye Xiaoyi, quickly became obsessed with it, and the goddess was no longer important.

It seems that this Zhang Hao is indeed capable of making movies. Watching his movies always has a very high-end texture, just like an exquisite work of art.

At this moment, Zhang Hao has been upgraded from a poor director to a so-so director in Jiang Zhicheng's mind.

And as the film's zero-point screening ended, audiences who had watched the film's zero-point scene in major cities across the country came out of the theater one after another, and they were still discussing the plot.

"I think it's the main body that died, not the clone. Think about what Ahao who came out said."

Luo Dongrui and Xiang Andong walked out of the movie theater full of enthusiasm, and had a lively discussion on the plot of the movie.

Xiang Andong disagreed with Luo Dongrui's words, and retorted: "How is it possible? Ontology found this machine built by Tesla because it didn't want to be applauded behind the scenes and wanted to be applauded on stage.

If the main body is dead, how can he enjoy the cheers of the audience? "

"Enjoy the same, the main body is dead, the clone is the main body, the clone inherits the main body's memory, thought and everything, and it does not affect the enjoyment of the audience's cheers." Luo Dongrui said.

"How can you be sure that the clone is the same as the main body? Is this me still me?" Xiang Andong began to talk about philosophy.

"If you want to talk like this, there is no way to talk about this topic. In this way, let's watch the movie again tomorrow, and then each give an answer." Luo Dongrui suggested.

"Not tomorrow, I still have to go to work, the day after tomorrow, let's take a look together."

"OK, then the day after tomorrow." Luo Dongrui agreed, actually secretly decided to watch the movie secretly first tomorrow.

He still has many questions, and many details are not clear, so he needs to study it several times.

As everyone knows, Xiang Andong thought the same way.

Because of doubts about the plot of the movie, two good friends planned to watch it several times secretly without telling each other, and decide the winner.

The loud discussion between the two did not attract attention, because many of the audience who left the movie theater were discussing the plot with each other.

As a half-professional film critic, Zhou Yang bought a ticket for the zero-point show early in the morning because of the need to contribute.

After watching it, Zhou Yang, who was going to write a movie review when he was going back, sat blankly in front of the computer without moving a word, because he still had a lot of things he didn't understand.

After thinking for a long time, Zhou Yang shouted: "Honey, will you go to the movies with me tomorrow?"

Zhou Yang's wife was dissatisfied: "What movie are you watching? You have to go to work tomorrow, so go to bed quickly."

"That's right, let's go to the movies the day after tomorrow." Zhou Yang shouted.

Zhou Yang's wife thought about it, the two of them hadn't gone out to eat or watch a movie for a long time, so she agreed: "OK, then you can arrange it."

The reason why he called his wife was because Zhou Yang needed to find someone to confirm some plot details.

He forgot, however, that his wife has never been interested in movies like "The Prestige", so she might have slept for two hours by then.

On the capital side, the fan group led by Ye Xiaoyi also walked out of the movie theater. Some people thought the movie was not good, and it took too much thought.

Although the plot is compact and appears ups and downs, the overly brain-burning plot still makes fans who watch the movie with a relaxed mind feel exhausted.

This is also impossible. In the film market, simple films tend to have a wider audience than complex films.

So this group of movie fans expressed their feelings towards the movie, some thought it was average, and some thought it was not bad, but they would definitely not watch it a second time.

But because they didn't pay for watching the movie this time, they didn't feel much loss.

Of course, fans who love the movie "The Prestige" simply like it to the point where their souls tremble, as if they have found a peerless treasure.

Coincidentally, Ye Xiaoyi and Wu Dazhuan are two of them.

A few of Ye Xiaoyi's girlfriends felt that the movie was average, and they were not interested in discussing it after it ended.

However, Ye Xiaoyi thought it was wonderful, so he discussed the plot with Wu Dazhuan who also thought it was wonderful.

The two also discussed the question of whether Ah Hao was alive or not.

Ye Xiaoyi believes that the main body is alive, and she proves her point of view with examples: "If you worked hard to find Tesla and spent a lot of money to build this machine,

Wouldn't it be against his nature to die like this? "

Wu Dazhui retorted: "Have you ever thought about it, in fact, he didn't want to die, but was forced to die. Remember the gun he fired? It was before the replicating machine.

I think that the main body was killed by the No. [-] clone during the first experiment.

If you look at the details of the performance, the No. [-] clone came out of the machine and was a little dazed when he saw the pistol.He saw an identical person coming out from the opposite side, so he shot and killed that person.

Before the man was shot, he said, 'No, no, I'm...', before he could finish his sentence, he was killed by the No. [-] clone. "

"Then according to what you said, this machine creates a replica on the spot and then teleports the main body away, so after the No. [-] clone knows the secret..." Ye Xiaoyi came to his senses in an instant.

"That is to say, in every subsequent performance, the No. [-] clone survived, and the other No. [-], [-], and [-] clones all fell into the water tank and died.

And these clones don't know that they will die, so they show the desire to struggle to survive.

Every shot of director Zhang Hao has a meaning, and none of them are superfluous. " Wu Dazhuan added.

"Wow, you're so good, you paid attention to so many details after just one reading." Ye Xiaoyi clapped her little hands.

Wu Dazhuan said with a smile: "Maybe I'm a fan of suspense reasoning, so I read it more carefully."

Jiang Zhicheng, who was following behind to admire the goddess' long legs, heard the goddess's voice praising Wu Dazhuan, and felt his heart tense instantly, so he quickly interjected:
"Actually, I think the cloned ones are the same as the ones left inside, there is no such thing as a cloned body.

Both have memories from before the machine worked, everything is the same, ready to drown.

According to what Lao Bai said before, it is the same as going home, choosing to drown himself.

But in fact, this process is painful, so when Ajie saw Ahao who was struggling, but after each clone, the one outside had no memory of the other.

Ah Hao didn't know whether to clone out or stay inside.

So when I explained later, I said that every time I do magic tricks, I have to muster up the courage to go in and I don't know whether it is dead or alive. "

Wu Dazhuan was very proud of being praised by the beautiful woman.

As a result, a kid at the back inserted a horizontal bar, and immediately retorted: "I don't know because of the uncertainty of science, and there must be a difference between the main body and the replica.

First of all, after the body experiment, the No. [-] clone knew that the principle is body transmission, leaving a clone in place. If his brain has such a memory, then the clone also has it.

Then after the magic show, those who are outside know that they are the real body, and those who stay in place know that they are clones. "

Jiang Zhicheng was also not to be outdone: "I think you didn't understand what the director meant, and it's meaningless to discuss the main body and clones. Think about it carefully, why did Ahao ask Tesla to study this machine?
It was because he wanted to overwhelm Ajie, and it was also because of revenge, and the bigger reason was because he wanted to enjoy the cheers of the audience, and wanted to keep a great magician Ahao.

Whoever is the body is the same, because the copied one has exactly the same memory before copying.

No matter whether the living one is the newly copied one or the previous one, his feeling is that he is teleported by closing and opening his eyes, and there will be no pain of death at all.

In addition, Lao Bai said before that drowning is like going home, and his conscience will be a little better.In other words, the pain of death will not stop him from continuing to act.

The concept of 'I' may die every time it is performed, but the great Danton does not. "

The two quarreled like this on the way back.

On the one hand, in the presence of beautiful women, no one is willing to admit defeat; on the other hand, they all feel that what they say is the most suitable guess for the plot.

Ye Xiaoyi and a few girlfriends were dumbfounded, and one girlfriend shook her head and said, "The movie is actually okay, but what is there to discuss about such a movie?"

"Yes, but Huang Xiaoming and Deng Chao are quite handsome inside." Another best friend echoed.

For them, it is indeed a bit difficult to appreciate this movie.

Ye Xiaoyi thought for a moment, and stopped the two of them from continuing to quarrel: "Okay, stop arguing, if you think what you said is right, you might as well watch the movie a few more times to confirm your thoughts."

Wu Dazhui and Jiang Zhicheng looked at each other, and said provocatively, "We will watch the movie tomorrow, do you dare?"

At this time, whoever thinks he is the grandson is the grandson, Jiang Zhicheng immediately agreed: "Okay, whoever is afraid of the other, after reading it, each write a paper."

"Write it, write it, who is afraid of whom?" Wu Dazhuan said, and said to Ye Xiaoyi: "Xiaoyi, please be a witness when the time comes."

Jiang Zhicheng climbed up along the pole, and followed the trend and said: "Yes, Xiaoyi, please be a referee when the time comes, and judge which of us is right."

After a scheming intervention into the conversation, the name of the goddess was changed to Xiaoyi. Even if he lost the debate, Jiang Zhicheng felt that he had won.

Ye Xiaoyi didn't feel that there was anything wrong, and immediately agreed: "Okay, I'll be with the fans' support club, and we'll judge which of you is right."

"That's how it was decided..."

In order to win the favor of the beauties, the two boys decided to compete with each other based on their own abilities.

Movies are not important anymore, the most important thing is to overwhelm each other in front of beautiful women.

Early the next morning, Zhang Hao came to the studio with his briefcase in his arms.

Da Mi Mi flew to Hainan early in the morning to continue filming. He came to the studio today to check the situation, and tomorrow he will start the national road show with the crew.

"How's the box office situation at Zero Point?" Zhang Hao asked.

Assistant Tang Xiqian replied: "The latest data shows that the zero-point show has received a total of 913.7 million box office, which is quite a good result."

Zhang Hao nodded in satisfaction and said, "It's not bad, it's a good start for the next screening. What's the opinion on the Internet?"

"Most of them received good reviews, but some audiences didn't like the movie because the plot was too brain-intensive," Tang Xiqian replied.

"It's normal, this type of movie itself is very selective about the audience." Zhang Hao understood.

When he first made this film, he was ready for this.Because of lowering expectations, Zhang Hao believes that the film will be fine as long as it does not lose money at the box office.

The rest can be profitable through peripheral income such as copyright.

With the screening of Zero Point, on Friday, June [-]rd, "The Prestige" began to land in mainland theaters on a large scale.

It is estimated that it is also the title of the first two films, and with the full support of the theaters under China Film Group, "Fatal Magic" reached 28.6% of the first-day openings, ranking first.

This kind of film scheduling rate has won multiple screenings for "Fatal Magic".

Through the word-of-mouth accumulated in the first two films, Zhang Hao also has some fans, and Deng Chao and Huang Xiaoming are also very popular in the mainland, which can be regarded as a bit of box office appeal.

On the first day, "Fatal Magic" opened a good box office data, and it got 2335.6 million box office in a single day.

Including the box office of zero games, "Fatal Magic" won a box office of 3249.3 million, successfully winning the single-day box office champion.

Even if it's a weekday, the box office is good enough.The good box office performance made Huayi and Tang Ren who participated in the investment laugh. Cai Yinong of Tang Ren even called to congratulate Zhang Hao.

But Zhang Hao understands that all this is just the beginning.

It performed so well on the first day because it attracted a large number of fans into the cinema to support the film from the very beginning.

If the word-of-mouth collapses later, and even other ordinary audiences are not interested in this movie, the box office will still be Waterloo.

With the start of the Dragon Boat Festival holiday, movie theaters are booming.

On June 32th, a horror film "No. 2 in Area B" landed in theaters. The director of this film was Lu Jianmin, the producer who later invested in and released "Wolf Warrior [-]".

Of course, now that Wu Jing is experiencing the life of a special soldier in the military camp, the story of "Wolf Warrior" probably has a rudimentary form.

If Wu Jing seeks investment in the future, Zhang Hao will definitely invest immediately. This is a good opportunity to make money.

Not only the box office, but just holding part of the copyright is a long-term meal ticket
And the horror film that was released today was produced and distributed by Lu Jianmin's Spring and Autumn Times Film Industry. The lead actor Zhang Hao looked so strange that he didn't know him.

Horror films produced at such a low cost probably won't be able to invite any well-known stars. They just want to make a fortune in theaters and then go the road of copyright sales.

Sure enough, on the first day of its release, "No. 32 in Area B" only won 211.1 million box office.

Not bad for a low-budget horror film.

You know, the production cost of "No. 32 in Area B" is only more than 300 million yuan, and it may even make a profit through the box office.

However, compared with "Fatal Magic", such results are simply not worth mentioning.

On the second day of its release, "The Prestige" did not cause audience discomfort at all because of its brain-burning plot.

Although some viewers think the film is not good-looking, many fans who want to explore the details of the film have watched the movie for the second time or even the third time.

Under such circumstances, "Fatal Magic" scored 4186.2 million box office on the second day of its release, but did not defend the single-day box office champion.

The single-day box office champion was the Hollywood animation film "Kung Fu Panda 2" based on the cultural background of Chinese Kung Fu.

Driven by the naive Panda Po, this film scored 4485 million box office in a single day, bringing back the box office champion lost the previous day.

On the premiere day of "The Prestige" the day before, "Kung Fu Panda 2" scored 3180.1 million box office

Even "The Prestige" is not Po's opponent, which is enough to witness the popularity of "Kung Fu Panda 2".

Abao also proved to the mainland film market that animated films are not just for children.

Otherwise, children and parents alone cannot support such a high box office.

At least, before the box office explosion, the box office limit for movies for children was not high.

The big movie "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" released on the first day of the Lunar New Year has a box office of 1.34 million. "Kung Fu Panda 2" has a box office of nearly 8 million after it was released for 3 days. ,
At that time, this animated film will create a new box office record for animated films in the mainland, and it will also allow more Hollywood animation film producers to target the potential stock in the mainland market.

With "Kung Fu Panda 2" such a strong opponent, and "The Prestige" is not released enough days, it is impossible to win the weekly box office champion.

So "Kung Fu Panda 2" won the box office champion for two consecutive weeks and was a great success.

On the third day of its release, which was Sunday, the box office of "The Prestige" saw a slight decline. It won 3864.9 million box office in a single day, and continued to lose to "Kung Fu Panda 2" with 4261.2 million, ranking second.

So after the first three days, "Fatal Prestige" created a first-week box office of 1.13 million, which shocked the entire industry.

This result, at any other time in the past, is enough to win the box office champion next week.

However, "Kung Fu Panda 2" was strong enough, and "Fatal Magic" lost, and Zhang Hao once again lost a weekly box office champion in his directorial career.

In other words, although the box office of Zhang Hao's works has been higher than that of the other works since his debut, it seems that only "Manslaughter" won the weekly box office champion once in the first week of its release.

It can only be said that Zhang Hao's film release schedule, there are so many films in front and back, so that Zhang Hao has no chance of winning the box office of the week.

Driven by the strong performance of "The Magic" and "Kung Fu Panda 2", the schedule of the Dragon Boat Festival, which seemed to be calm in previous years, instantly became hot.

This year's Dragon Boat Festival box office has increased by 32.1% compared with last year. Driven by the strong market, many people in the industry have once again paid attention to the Dragon Boat Festival schedule.

Why is this Zhang Hao's movie going to whichever schedule, which schedule is the hottest?Does he have some magical powers?
Even though he left the May [-]st schedule this year, the May [-]st schedule immediately dropped.When it comes to the Dragon Boat Festival, the Dragon Boat Festival schedule immediately rises.

These people in the industry probably haven't considered it. In fact, it's not that there is a problem with the schedule, but that Zhang Hao's movie was shot too well.

After the first week, the Douban score of "Fatal Magic" was also released, as high as 9.1 points.There are subjective factors in the initial rating, and the subsequent rating will drop.

In the previous life, Nolan's version of "The Prestige" scored as high as 8.9 points on Douban, and I don't know if it can maintain such a high score in this life.

Douban ratings are actually very strict on domestic Chinese films, to the point of being picky.

Many Chinese-language movies are obviously of good quality, with a score of eight, and then automatically drop one point when they go to Douban.

But Douban seems to be particularly tolerant of Zhang Hao's films, and his films can always get high scores here.

The previous naval battle with Chen Gezi caused the scores of "Manslaughter" and "Genius Gunner" to drop sharply.

After such a long time, the score of "Farewell My Concubine" has returned to 9.3 points, and it seems that it is not a problem to return to the top of the Douban Chinese movie word-of-mouth list.

This is what this movie deserves. Regardless of the conflicts between Zhang Hao and Chen Gezi, objective analysis shows that this "Farewell My Concubine" is indeed a classic movie.

The film gathered the best people in the Chinese film industry at that time. From the screen, costumes, props, art design, etc., they are all top-notch in the industry, plus an excellent cast.

He Dehe Neng Chen Gezi is honored to direct such a film.

As time goes on, the movies that have been smeared by the navy will eventually return to their place.

The same goes for "Manslaughter" and "Genius Gunner". After so long, "Manslaughter" returned to 8.1 points, and "Genius Gunner" came to 8.3 points.

If a movie with a score of seven or more is a qualified movie, then a movie with a score of eight or more is enough to be called a good movie.

Of course, there are many movies with five or six points that do not have high ratings, but many audiences actually like them, and they can also get a good box office.

If you don't care so much about your reputation, just looking at the box office is enough to prove a director's ability.

It is also a skill to make a not-so-good movie that sells well at the box office.

In addition, Zhang Hao's movie is not only on Douban, but also on the IMDB website.

IMDB was established in 1990, and like Douban, it also provides a scoring mechanism.But it is a pity that the IMDB scores of "Manslaughter" and "Genius Gunner" seem to be unsatisfactory.

"Manslaughter" scored 6.7 points, and "Genius Gunner" scored 7.1 points.

This is something that can’t be helped, just like Douban doesn’t want to see Chinese-language movies, in fact, IMDB doesn’t want to see Chinese-language movies either.

So far, a total of 250 Chinese-language films have been listed on IMDBTOP[-], among which "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" reached the ninth place.

Currently on the list in 2011 are Wong Kar Wai's "In the Mood for Love", the classic police film "Infernal Affairs", and the 2008 film "Ip Man".

I don't know if Zhang Hao can keep his works permanently on the list of Douban and IMDBTOP250 in his lifetime.

Although this is just a list, it is also an honor!
