They are all too deep into the drama!

Chapter 623: New movie encounters "Waterloo"?
The premiere of the movie didn't cause any big stir.

There was no red carpet or performance at all. It was just an interaction between the main creative team of the crew and the audience. Even the host was a guest star of Dapeng who also starred in the movie.

The process was so simple that it didn’t quite fit with the gimmick of the movie’s “world premiere”.

After all, the attention this movie has received is already enough, there is really no need to do all these things...

When sitting in the cinema to watch this movie, halfway through, many viewers actually felt inexplicably cheated.

Because even though Huo Mingjie is the lead actor, he only appears for less than one-third of the movie's screen time.

The following scenes basically use the faces of other actors with the same identity!
But even so, few viewers would feel uncomfortable because of the characters of different heights, weights and body shapes in the movie, who, like Huo Mingjie, serve as the male lead.

Because there were no problems with the actors' acting skills and they communicated with each other before filming, they were able to roughly grasp the emotions of the characters.

So once the audience accepts the setting in the movie, they will naturally think that these are just male protagonists with different faces!

Compared to the original movie, the film "The Beauty Inside" directed by Huo Mingjie has a smoother rhythm, and the focus of the film is on exploring the inner qualities of the male and female protagonists that attract each other!

This makes the movie full of pure love atmosphere, and the emotional expression is delicate and gentle. After watching it, people will feel like "I believe in love again".

Because of the high attention it received, comments about the film immediately flooded the Internet after the premiere.

"Although the names of the movie and the TV series are the same, they really give people different feelings. I strongly recommend everyone to watch it. It is a very touching movie."

"It's really hard to imagine that such a delicate and touching movie was shot by Huo Mingjie..."

“The genre of the movie is fantasy romance, but I feel it should be put into the category of art romance films!”

"I feel a little disappointed. I don't really like this kind of pretentiousness."

"It's an art film with some depth. It doesn't have the kind of blood-spurting commercial blockbusters, nor is it a funny comedy. People who like it will especially like it..."

"I thought it was a light romantic comedy like in TV dramas, but I didn't expect it to be an artistic romantic film with an exploratory tone. It feels like a movie that is more suitable for watching at home rather than going to the cinema."

……

The reviews of the movie were not all positive. After all, some people did not like this kind of literary movie.

But overall, the movie was recognized by most people and they thought it was a good movie.

As Huo Mingjie's first directorial work, it has such quality that it can shut up quite a few people.

The movie attracted a lot of attention because of Huo Mingjie, and the box office on the first day soared to 20 million.

The statistics methods in the Land of Sakura and South Korea are different, but judging from the box office revenue alone, the total box office revenue is almost 40 million.

Compared to other commercial blockbusters that also have their world premieres, "The Beauty Inside" is more genuine.

Just in the markets of Mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, the Land of Sakura, and South Korea, the movie is already on track to soar towards 100 million box office.

But starting from the second and third days, things started to change.

In the country of Korea and the country of Sakura, the movies are either perverted or pure love. This type of movie has a big market in their country.

Since then, the single-day box office growth has remained at a normal level, which can be considered a steady growth.

On the contrary, the situation in the mainland is not optimistic!
On the second day after its release in mainland China, the box office growth dropped to 15 million, and on the third day it dropped to 11 million.

If we ignore the box office in other places, according to this trend, the box office performance of mainland movies will probably only get less than 10 million yuan. In the past years, the film industry is still discussing the " million yuan box office club", so this result is certainly very impressive.

Even taking into account factors such as subject matter and film cost, this result is already incredible!
But compared with all of Huo Mingjie's works, this box office result is obviously not good!

There is no way around it. This type of movie is indeed not as attractive at the box office as the exciting commercial blockbusters.

For those who just want to watch a movie to kill time, when they heard that this is an arty romance film, they lost interest...

All of a sudden, topics about "Huo Mingjie's tragic defeat" emerged on the Internet.

Although Huo Mingjie's box office performance is still able to beat a group of peers in the industry, the public still believes that this movie is very likely to be the worst box office work of Huo Mingjie except for "Double Food Diary"...

Seeing the change in public opinion on the Internet, Huo Chengyin couldn't help but feel unhappy and said:

"Why don't we just announce the global box office figures directly? Otherwise, some critics might be unhappy!"

Just looking at the mainland, the box office has only reached 50 million so far.

But if we include the global box office of movies from Mainland China, Hong Kong, South Korea, and the Land of Sakura, the box office has actually exceeded 170 million!
It has achieved such box office success in just three days after its release. Except for those popular Hollywood blockbusters, ordinary movies don’t have such results.

As soon as the global box office results were announced, Huo Chengyin couldn't believe that there were still people talking about a "Waterloo"!
Compared to Huo Chengyin who was already unhappy, Huo Mingjie, the real culprit, was still quite calm.

Hearing Huo Chengyin's words, he couldn't help but laugh and said:
“Even if the global box office figures are announced, some people will say that they are targeting different film markets and cannot be compared.”

The comments on the Internet are directed at Huo Mingjie. Even if the global box office is announced, they will only use the poor box office performance in the mainland to hype it up.

The public is blindly obedient. As long as they hear that everyone is discussing Huo Mingjie's new movie "poor box office", they will subconsciously conclude that the movie is not good enough and will not want to watch it...

Upon hearing this, Huo Chengyin frowned as he looked at his second uncle, who looked calm and as if he had everything planned out.

"So, Uncle, you already have an idea, right?"

Huo Mingjie nodded and said:
“We need to accurately identify target users and conduct customized promotions…”

"What do you mean?"

"To put it simply, we want to make the audience of our film willing to try to go to the cinema!"

"You might as well explain it more clearly!"

"The main purpose is to trick older sisters and younger girls into going to the cinema together to contribute to the box office."

Huo Chengyin nodded in understanding after hearing this, and then said with some embarrassment:

"In the past, you always relied on your face to trick people into watching the movie, but this time you were in too few scenes in the movie, so they didn't fall for it!"

If Huo Mingjie had performed normally, many women would have been willing to go to the cinema again and again just for his handsome face appearing on the big screen.

But it won’t work this time. Everyone knows that Huo Mingjie has few roles and can’t fool others at all!

"Who has my Weibo account now? Have someone get it over so I can post a Weibo post!"

Um, is a clockwork scarf useful?
Even though he had seen his second uncle do so many "shameless things" before, Huo Chengyin couldn't help but feel a little unsure at this moment...
