Illiterate top class: three years of poor performance, become a superstar

218 Sharp contrast
"..."

Contrary to imagination, the current 'carnival' on Weibo is not just a lively celebration.

Celebrating Tang Detective 2’s first-day box office record.

What are you celebrating because this time you have actually broken the record in the history of Chinese film and television?

But... netizens complained and complained very frankly.

"You guys are so incompetent. The final box office is only about 4 million more than 3 million. If there are only a few people buying, it will be stuck at the beginning of [-]~/狗头"

"Indeed, it's a pity. Xu has probably started to raise his tail. If the daily average is 4 million, it can reach as many as 28 billion in seven days! Tsk~"

"It seems that Xu is very lucky, but the venue will not be reserved tomorrow. He will show his true colors immediately!"

"The wait and see is over. I have bought tickets for tomorrow and am going to watch two games in a row to see more about it."

"Brother upstairs, I advise you to be careful, wait until after [-] to see it~/Gotou"

"..."

Many Internet users were not very happy about not being able to reach 3.99 million.

The speech was full of complaints.

But the dog heads that fill the screen are quite unique.

Fortunately, there are still rational players who can still firm up their own ideas despite Wuyang Wuyang's dissatisfaction.

Express your true thoughts about Tang Detective 2 through practical actions.

In such a trend of public opinion, it is really valuable.

It fully illustrates the old saying...'The aroma of wine is not afraid of the depth of the alley'.

It doesn't have the "dark alleys are afraid of the fragrance of wine" of today's era.

Pretty good.

so that...

"No, why does Tang Detective 2 have such a good reputation? It's clearly a useless little star, and it's not promising. How come tomorrow's pre-sale box office is already over 3000 million?"

"Ah, what? It's only ten o'clock now, and there are already more than 100 million viewers who will be fooled tomorrow?"

"I don't believe it, I don't believe it at all. There must be Xu's conspiracy. Did he use any skills? Let everyone rush to be deceived."

"Everyone, you don't want Xu to get his wish, right? We can wait until after National Day to watch the movie Tang Detective 2."

"But... Xu Nian is so honest and kind, sincere and unpretentious. He just wants 7 billion box office in 20 days. What's wrong with him~"

"Yes, that's right. When I saw Xu Nian, I felt that he was not wrong at all. He just has a pure heart and is not afraid of being ridiculed~"

"..."

I don’t know when my speech suddenly became crooked.

Some passers-by expressed their true thoughts.

You can criticize Tang Detective 2, but you can't blame it... What does this matter have to do with Xu?

He is just a starring role at best~
Moreover, when you saw him, didn’t you realize that it wasn’t him who was at fault?
Such statements have gained some recognition.

Some male netizens even said... considering how handsome Xu Nian is, he must be right.

At this time, the New Year fans came forward and carefully performed some maintenance, which they did not dare to say more.

.........

Considering that this kind of topic is not appropriate to continue to dwell on, most netizens shifted their focus.

Note... There is another hot topic on micro-viewing today.

#《万城天下》creates an epic fantasy

It is the blooming result of all the promotional preparations made by the film crew of 'Ten Thousand Cities' in the past.

With Weishi’s daily active users reaching 7 million, the amount of related discussions and related short videos of the same style are huge.

It's just a bit of false prosperity, because - "Ten Thousand Cities" officially premiered with a box office of just over 4100 million.Good news: It's the highest-grossing single-day hit for 'Ten Thousand Cities.'

Bad news: So far, Wancheng's box office has not even been able to cover the publicity and distribution costs.

Even worse news: The theater chain, thinking of old friendships and various factors, still gave Wancheng 19% of its film schedule on November [-].

The worst news: Wancheng's score on Rotten Persimmon has finally come out. It opened with a score of 5.1 and has now dropped to 4.5.

I don’t know if this is good news: even the surfers who had previously criticized the event showed restraint today.

Also, the audience who walked into the theater today basically only gave ratings and did not vent too much.

However, even so, Wancheng's failure may have affected Chinese film and television's thinking about complex themes such as epic fantasy.

It is very likely that this subject will become a dusty past in the near future.

This film, which is advertised as the first Chinese-language epic fantasy, has turned away people with its dismal box office figures.

And what's different is that this movie got the best resources from the beginning.

Even after a series of blockbusters, theaters still took the final risk and allocated close to 20% of the film schedule.

There is nothing to say about Pu.

As a result, the active surfer's speech after changing the focus at this moment was just some regrets, sighs and sighs.

"I really hope that Chinese film and television will create fantasy-themed movies in the future, such as space opera, oriental fantasy, and classical fairy tales."

"I really don't want this door to be closed! It's not that I can't support Wancheng now, but it's so bad that if I support it too much, it will definitely lead to a bad atmosphere!"

"Actually, the special effects are okay, and most of the characters' performances are also online. Except for Lu Mingkai, who used too much force. The most terrible thing is that the narrative is too unclear and the editing is very messy. I really can't praise it."

"I wonder if Xu might try it in the future? But Xu's appearance in costume doesn't seem to be outstanding."

"..."

This kind of sighing speech has always been the view of the audience.

It's not that "Ten Thousand Cities" doesn't work at all, but it's a bit forced.

It's hard to be satisfied if you fail to film a complete story despite ample investment.

And the lineup is also quite luxurious.

At this moment, faced with such a result, it was hard for the Wancheng film crew to laugh.

It’s officially released now, so I can’t continue to fool myself.

All the foreshadowing publicity has been released.

It can be said that all the cards in hand have been played.

However, Lu Mingkai remained relatively calm: "The problem is not big, it's just that our expectations for the audience are too high..."

Immediately, he personally edited a Weibo update:
""Ten Thousand Cities" is an excellent and perfect Chinese-language epic fantasy masterpiece...

Today’s market performance is not too good, but it is not too bad either. I think we need to wait for the audience’s aesthetics to grow;

This process will take about five or ten years. When the time comes to watch "Ten Thousand Cities", you will definitely be pleasantly surprised. "

After this Weibo news was updated, even ordinary passers-by were a little overwhelmed.

Soon the speech became much sharper.

And some players who are quite knowledgeable in reality have also emerged.

The most outrageous thing is that someone paid money to criticize Wan Cheng.

Pointing out the shortcomings and narrative problems of Wancheng straight away.

The abbreviation... "A murder caused by a word of praise"

This wave can be regarded as pushing Wancheng's creator to the wall, as well as Lu Mingkai.

"What I don't understand is that Lu Mingkai is only an actor and not a director. How can he speak from such a perspective?"
