They have become goddess husbands, who needs a superstar system

Chapter 542 Mumu Film and Television is unlucky this year? (-in-)

Although "Buddha Plus" did not perform so well at the box office, it still won many major domestic awards at various award ceremonies in the second half of the year, and was even rated very highly by many netizens on rating websites. , was promoted to the annual movie list, and together with Liao Chunsheng's "I'm Not a Passerby" and Yang Yi's "Fireworks in the Day", it completed the feat of dominating the list.

Of course, these are all things for later. At least in the first half of the year, with the help of many self-media, "Buddha Plus" was still questioned, and Yang Yi's box office myth was also widely criticized.

Especially after the "Wandering Earth" project was officially released, voices that badmouthed him and the movie became even more common!

"Really 500 million to make a domestic science fiction blockbuster? Isn't the risk Yang Yi took a bit big? "Space Exploration Editorial Department" has a box office of 1.7 billion, and if you put it on top of this movie, it is probably only at the level of just getting back the money."

"Domestic science fiction is a joke, right? I've never seen any of our domestic film companies make good science fiction movies! Either the special effects are just like the joke, or it's not a science fiction movie at all. Even Yang Yi is the same. His previous film "Space Exploration Editorial" was at best a literary film disguised as science fiction."

"There are two types of science fiction movies. One is soft science fiction, which just borrows science fiction elements, but the plot and themes focus on love or philosophy, etc. The other is hard science fiction, which uses a lot of physics, chemistry, astronomy, etc. Wait for scientific knowledge to build a technological world that may be realized in the future, and then some corresponding stories will happen in that world. Domestic film companies are basically making soft science fiction, because the hard science fiction details in hard science fiction are It requires money to pile up, like Yang Yi’s early filming of "Space Exploration Editorial Department", he didn’t have much money, so he could only make some soft science fiction works."

"I have to put a question mark on whether Yang Yi can make a good hard science fiction movie! Just because "Space Exploration Editorial Department" is a big seller, it doesn't mean that the hard science fiction movies he makes can also be a big hit. In the field of hard science fiction, Yang Yi is still Start from scratch. And hard science fiction movies cost too much money, but it’s hard to say whether the audience will pay for the special effects you spend money on!"

"There are also domestic science fiction blockbusters that are willing to burn money. For example, "Future Fight" was released five years ago. It was filmed by a Hong Kong director and used many A-list stars from Hong Kong. It cost 450 million. It is similar to "The Wandering Earth" "It's about the same, but what's the result? The box office is only 700 million. This is the result of those Hong Kong stars showing off their old faces and following the director's poor marketing, otherwise the box office will be even worse."

"Yang Yi is good at character creation and designing conflicts between characters. All the movies and TV series he has made are like this. He can be said to be a master of all things domestic directors! I really can't understand why he must make science fiction movies, and it is a science fiction movie. A science fiction blockbuster, such a big production, can be said to be completely out of his comfort zone."

"What you said above is right. Yang Yi's low-cost movies will have high box office, such as "Space Exploration Editorial", "Yangtze River 7", and even "Saw" he shot in Hollywood. But this is the case. The relatively high-cost "Dear" performed poorly at the box office. Yang Yi invited stars such as Zou Pei, Yan Jihong, and Tao Guolun to help out, but they failed to achieve a high box office and became his lowest-grossing movie ("Big Buddha"). Plath" cannot be counted, they were not directed by Yang Yi)."

"Yang Yi insists on making science fiction blockbusters, and this time it is likely to be a major failure in his career as a director! If he suffers a huge blow and fails to recover, he may also go downhill in the future!"

"Is there any box office myth? Yang Yi just caught up with the good times for the development of Chinese movies and did make a few good movies. Even great directors like Shi Yanqiu and Yu Yixuan have made bad movies, like Weng Pengfei. A commercial film director who has produced many blockbuster films has also produced a bad film like "The Piano Alien" that was a box office hit and a hit in terms of reputation. Yes, the film that shattered Weng Pengfei's box office myth was also a science fiction film."

Netizens often compare Yang Yi and Weng Pengfei. Their styles are indeed somewhat similar. Yang Yi started his career in suspense dramas, while Weng Pengfei also relied on suspense movies to establish his signature in the field of commercial films.

And Weng Pengfei can be said that he has reached the ultimate level of domestic directors in terms of commercial performance. He is now the top box office director in mainland China.

The total box office of director Yang Yi's movies is also very high. If the box office of "Saw" he shot in Hollywood is also included, then he is not too far away from Weng Pengfei. Many fans also say that Yang Yi is still young and has not made enough movies. They are eagerly looking forward to the day when Yang Yi catches up with Weng Pengfei.

It is worth mentioning that Yang Yi has more fans than Weng Pengfei, and his popularity with passersby is better than that of Weng Pengfei.

The reasons are very complicated. Some of them are because the movies made by Weng Pengfei are too commercial. Although they have achieved high box office, the ratings are higher than the last ones. Therefore, there are many fans who dislike him.

Yang Yi is different. His movies and TV series are both commercial and ideological. After watching them, many viewers will watch them a second or third time, or even read them again after a while, and they will still be able to see more. details and gain some new insights. Therefore, the ratings of his works are generally very high!

Others are because Weng Pengfei, like Yang Yi, is married to a top-notch actress who is a popular lover. But the relationship between Yang Yi and Li Mengfei is obvious to all, and has withstood the much-anticipated "test". Weng Pengfei was more of a playboy. After his divorce a few years ago, he quickly held hands with his girlfriend who was more than 20 years younger than him, and his popularity with the public was completely ruined.

Whether they are fans of Yang Yi or passersby and netizens, they all hope to see Yang Yi continue his myth, knock Weng Pengfei off the altar, and rectify the name of Chinese movies.

However, the emergence of the project "The Wandering Earth" has made many fans sweat for him, and it has also caused many netizens to question him. These doubts have affected, to a certain extent, investors in the film and television industry towards him. of trust.

This situation became even more intense after the release of "I'm Not a Passerby" on May 1!

"I'm Not a Passerby" was officially released in major theaters across the country on April 30. However, its box office performance on the first day was relatively average.

A total of ten movies were released on May 1st, including a blockbuster "The King of Air Combat" with an investment of nearly 200 million. It was released on April 28, two days earlier than "I Am Not a Passerby", but because of the traffic star Sitting there, the cumulative box office has reached 200 million!

There is also a comedy movie "Laughing at Life". The cast includes Tian Ni, a top female comedian who often partners with Rong Xin. This movie was also released on April 28, and its cumulative box office has now reached 100 million!

"I'm Not a Passerby", released on April 30, had a box office of only 21 million on its first day, ranking fourth.

If you look at the rankings, you may not feel that "I'm Not a Passerby" is that bad. After all, Yang Yi's movies often rank third or fourth at the box office, and they slowly come back later.

However, the May Day period is not a popular movie period in the first place. The box office pool is far inferior to that of the Spring Festival, National Day, and summer vacations. Exciting blockbusters rarely choose to be released during this period, so the competition is not fierce. Despite the eye-catching box office performance of "The King of Air Combat" in the past few days, and the box office performance of "Laughing at Life" is not bad, these two movies are not highly rated among real movie fans.

Let's not talk about "The King of Air Combat". This is a typical bad movie supported by the fans of popular celebrities. It needs acting but no acting skills, and it needs plot but no plot.

"Laughing at Life" is slightly better. Tian Ni's acting skills are top-notch and the other comedians also performed well. However, the script is a bit thin and it is difficult to make the audience laugh.

With such ordinary opponents, "I'm Not a Passerby" only ranked fourth at the box office, and it only made over 20 million at the box office on the first day of the May Day holiday. This can't help but make people who pay attention to this movie artificially Its future total box office will be sweating.

"The box office of "I'm Not a Passerby" is about to hang. It was just over 20 million on the first day. It is estimated that it will be difficult to break 100 million before the end of the May Day period."

"What's going on with Mumu Film and Television and Yang Yi this year? The two movies in a row are not doing well at the box office. Although "I'm Not a Passerby" was filmed by Liao Chunsheng, this film has the title of Mumu Film and Television, and is also the producer of Yang Yi , more pure than the bloodline of "Big Buddha Plus"."

"Last year, Yang Yi was exposed in Hengdian for blackmail by an actress. Was it during the filming of "I'm Not a Passerby"? It seems that this is the only movie Mumu Films shot in Hengdian. Then why didn't they take last year's Will the news be more hype? Once this gimmick comes out, maybe it can add tens of millions to the box office of "I'm Not a Passerby"."

Indeed, the first-day box office result of more than 20 million yuan has basically sentenced "I'm Not a Passerby" to death.

Because there are so few movies that open low and sell high, the box office of most movies on the first day is basically the peak of their box office data, and then it declines rapidly or slowly, until the box office can hardly rise at all. Can be screened in despair.

Especially during the May Day period, the box office is generally not high. After the May Day holiday, everyone starts to work busy again, and basically few viewers continue to pay attention to the movie market.

In fact, although "I Am Not a Passerby" did not have a high box office, it still received good reviews from netizens who have watched it!

""I'm Not a Passerby" looked okay. Although it filmed the life of a minor actor and there were no big-name actors, the actors' acting skills were very real and they should be acting in their true colors. It looked very real and sad. In the end, it was also Really happy for his success! I can’t say it’s a brilliant movie, but there’s no problem saying it’s a good movie.”

"The leading actor in "I'm Not a Passerby" is Xu Xiaoqiang! I wonder why he looks so familiar! This actor played in "Big Buddha Plush" before, and I really like him. This time he is the leading actor. His acting skills are even better than when he was in "Buddha Plus"! He really made this movie the mainstay!"

"This is a movie for us ordinary people. The protagonist is an ordinary-looking, short-footed actor. His counterattack does not rely on cheating or luck, but on working hard every time he performs. I tried my best, but finally won the director's favor by playing a dead body, and started to embark on the road of counterattack."

"I strongly recommend everyone to watch "I'm Not a Passerby". This movie, like "Space Exploration Editorial", gives us a beautiful dream about dreams! It is more real than "Space Exploration Editorial", let us I saw that people as humble as dust can shine like diamonds in the sun one day!"

"I don't understand why "I'm Not a Passerby" is so bad at the box office. It's a hundred times better than "The King of Air Combat" and "Laughing at Life"! Is it because Yang Yi and Li Mengfei's guest appearances in it were too short? ?”

Unfortunately, the number of viewers represented by the first-day box office of just over 20 million is still too small, and word-of-mouth fermentation is not that fast.

Moreover, in terms of marketing and publicity, the opponents of "I'm Not a Passerby" are indeed very powerful. For example, "The King of Air Combat" received a lot of scolding on the Internet, but the huge fan base of traffic stars still worked hard to hype how good it is. , so that many passersby viewers were confused, thinking that "The King of Air Combat" is really a rare and good film, and it continues to contribute to its box office.

Therefore, during the five-day May Day holiday, the box office results of "I'm Not a Passerby" were not very satisfactory in the first four days. It was not until the fifth day that the box office data reluctantly showed signs of improvement, and the box office data on this day This is the first time it has entered the top three, no longer the previous fourth place!

However, this box office recovery seems to have come too late.

Under the continuous bombardment of industry information that "Mumu Film and Television's performance this year is poor", experts in various film and television industries have denounced "The Wandering Earth". At the same time, in science fiction film productions, it is indeed easy to collapse and lose money In the background, the investors of "The Wandering Earth" can no longer sit still!

"Mr. Zou, it's not that we don't trust you, or that we don't appreciate Director Yang, but the risk of this project is too great. It's hard for me to convince myself to invest money here!"

"Mr. Cheng, I really have no choice. I haven't received any payment for the last project in two years. My funds here are too tight. Please help me tell Director Yang. Our money must be withdrawn. Otherwise, we won't even wait until When the movie comes out, my company might go bankrupt!"

"Director Yang, please take a look."

The filming of "The Wandering Earth" has just started, and there are already situations where investors want to withdraw their capital.

And I don’t know if they had negotiated it, but several bosses challenged Yang Yi at the same time, wanting to withdraw the money they invested in "The Wandering Earth", even if they had to lose some liquidated damages.
