I turned out to be top-notch!

The outside world is making noises, and there are voices everywhere criticizing the "I Am a Singer" program team. However, in the face of the ultra-high ratings of 8.6%, even though it is reviled by the world, the program team still insists on using director Hong Ye as the core of its strategy. Continue to advance the program recording progress.

The official Shonan Satellite TV also criticized the program team loudly but not rainyly. At this point, they just continued to do whatever they should do.

On the other side, the film industry has been abuzz recently. Regardless of whether they are inside or outside the industry, everyone is waiting for the seven movies that will be released on June 6.

Among them, the two most popular and interesting films are "Young You" and "Monty Python". The former is the first collaboration between Zhou Dingran and the actress Cha Duo, and is also Zhou Dingran's first film debut. The latter is a Kung Fu drama. Starring superstar Shi Weijun, it is a super special effects blockbuster with an investment of up to 400 million.

These two films can be said to be the recent focus of the film industry. They have exploded in popularity since their premieres and have been praised by countless film critics. On the film review website of the Tianya community, the number of fans of "Monty Python" has exceeded 300,000. , while the attention of "Young You" is only over 200,000 people.

This shows the popularity of "Monty Python". Of course, as a reality-themed movie, "Young You" has also attracted much attention because of the participation of Zhou Dingran and Cha Duo. The expectation index on Tianya Film Critics Network even ranked first. "Monty Python" ranked third.

The second one is a product of the fan economy, namely the big movie "Miracle Boy".

"Miracle Boys" is a movie adapted from the debut experience of the Miracle Boys. The investment cost is said to be over 80 million. Some people in the industry jokingly said that % of the investment in this movie was divided up by the members of the Miracle Boys, leaving the starring role behind. Based on their remuneration, the investment in this film will not exceed million.

Of the 20 million, at least 15 million will be used to promote the work. The real investment cost will not exceed 5 million, or even lower.

But even so, "Miracle Boy", which has a huge fan base, does not lack fans to watch.

You can tell one thing or two just from the arrangement of films.

The movie "Miracle Boy" alone captured 6% of the film schedules on June 18, while "Monty Python," a special effects movie with an investment of up to 23 million, only captured 25% of the film schedules. This shows how much "Miracle Boy" is valued by all parties.

In comparison, the much-anticipated "Better Days" only received 18% of the film schedule.

As for the remaining four new movies released on the same day, there are even fewer films to divide between them.

However, this does not prevent some strong and high-quality movies from breaking out.

There are many movies in film history that have experienced box office declines. As long as the quality is good enough, the audience will always buy it.

After these seven new movies were screened in the past week, finally, on June 6, seven movies including "You Are Young" and "Monty Python" were released collectively.

……

Wang Wei is a big fan of kung fu superstar Shi Weijun. As a fitness coach, he especially admires Shi Weijun's lumpy body. He has watched all of the more than 20 movies that Shi Weijun has shot since his debut. He has even watched most movies several times, and if you include the fragmented movie commentary that he has viewed on Douyin, the number of times he has read them is even greater.

In short, in Wang Wei's heart, Shi Weijun is a real man and the eternal god in the kung fu movie industry!

And when Shi Weijun's new movie "Monty Python" was released, he couldn't wait to buy tickets and watch it.

He bought a ticket for nine o'clock in the morning, which was also the earliest movie to open in the theater chain on June 6. The reason why he booked the movie at this time was entirely because of the screening event in the week before that. , he simply couldn't get a ticket for the local cinema.

You know, although Chenzhou City where he is located is not as lively as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, and it is not a first-tier city, it is also a relatively high-ranking metropolis among second-tier cities, with a permanent population of tens of millions. But in such a city, he I couldn't even get a ticket for the "Monty Python" screening.

In order to ensure the original freshness of the film, he resisted the urge to watch the film version, so on this day, he immediately bought the earliest screening ticket on the day of release, and then went straight to the movie early in the morning Go to the cinema, enter the projection hall, put on the 3D glasses that you have prepared, and start watching the super special effects blockbuster "Monty Python".

Nowadays, the special effects of domestic movies in 2024 are top-notch in the world, almost as good as those of Hollywood special effects blockbusters. Therefore, after the release of "Monty Python", it immediately attracted the attention of all parties.

When Wang Wei came to the cinema, the rest seats were already full of spectators waiting to watch the movie. When he entered the "Monty Python" screening room, he saw that the seats were almost full.

Even in some seats near the side, there are many people sitting there.

“Over 80% attendance rate, amazing!”

Wang Wei exclaimed, then happily sat in the prime seat in the middle of the screening room, and began to watch "Monty Python" attentively.

"Monty Python" is a story adapted from a fragment of the online novel of the same name. It is the same as "The Wandering Earth" adapted from "The Three-Body Problem". This novel of the same name exploded on the Internet ten years ago and has a number of Many book fans.

Now that this novel has been adapted, it has attracted the attention of book fans early on.

The movie mainly tells the story of a giant python that appears in the Qinling Mountains.

There is a well-equipped top-secret military base in the Qinling Mountains. There, scientific researchers accidentally discovered a super giant python with a body length of more than 20 meters and a weight of more than ten tons. According to the myths that have always been circulated in the Qinling Mountains, the scientific researchers, Named it Panshan Python.

In order to prevent the python from threatening innocent people, officials captured the python alive and placed it in a military base for experiments.

But who would have expected that the python went crazy and not only attacked the military base, but also snaked directly towards the foot of the Qinling Mountains.

The python's scales are harder than armor, and it has a keen sense of heat. The most terrible thing is that it can also spray black stomach acid that can blind people. This makes the official siege more difficult. The python is about to go down the mountain and collide with humans wantonly. City, so the super soldier Shi Weijun was ordered to go to the Qinling Mountains to subdue the giant python...

During the viewing process, Wang Wei held his breath and marveled repeatedly. There was almost no noise in the entire screening room. Everyone wore 3D glasses and watched the giant python appearing in the film attentively, without daring to take a breath.

Finally, when Shi Weijun went through all kinds of sieges, gathered a group of partners, and killed the giant python with thermal weapons, the film came to its finale.

Only at this moment did all the moviegoers exhale.

Unexpectedly, before he could react, another dozen seconds of Easter egg footage was shown on the big screen. A giant snake egg covered with mysterious patterns was quietly breaking its shell with a crisp "click" in a dense forest.

This is obviously preparation for the second part of "Monty Python".

"Exciting, so exciting!"

"It's so beautiful. It's an absolute blockbuster and worth the price of admission!"

"The production level is amazing, absolutely top-notch. I believe the producers invested 400 million!"

"I believe it too! It is indeed Shi Weijun's movie. Produced by Brother Jun, it must be a masterpiece!"

"Sure enough, any movie without Xiao Xianrou is a good movie!"

"I knew I should watch "Monty Python" first. Although I also like the Miracle Boys and Zhou Dingran, these little fresh movies are not as good as the special effects blockbuster "Monty Python"!"

"The box office of 'Monty Python' will definitely exceed 2 billion, I'm telling you!"

"It's so beautiful. I regret not going to the IMAX theater to see it. It's definitely worth a second viewing!"

While all the fans were praising it, many fans also felt unhappy. "This movie has nothing but special effects!"

"There is absolutely no reason at all. A human being who is 1.8 meters tall can actually jump up to four to five meters in one leap. Is this possible?"

"You can't watch this movie with any brain. It's so disappointing!"

"The special effects are not that good either. This giant python looks like a retard! It has no IQ at all!"

"Yes, yes, it's so witty. The most terrible thing is that the python's scales are impenetrable to bullets. Officials can actually capture the python alive with a tranquilizer gun. I'm so drunk!"

"Retarded movie, refund your money!"

Amidst the cursing discussions from many viewers, Wang Wei also frowned and walked out of the screening room.

In fact, he has the same view as most movie fans. The movie "Monty Python" is absolutely outstanding in terms of special effects. It is the most worth-watching special effects blockbuster in recent times. The design of the python is too realistic, especially when he wears a 3D Even though he was wearing glasses, he was even more frightened by the huge snake head coming toward him, which made his heart beat fast.

But apart from that, the story of the entire movie is also very lacking. In general, it is about discovering the giant python, trying to subdue and study the giant python, then the giant python resists, and finally the official sends someone to kill the giant python.

With a simple storyline and no strategic design, from a business perspective, "Monty Python" is definitely a very good popcorn movie.

The disadvantage is that once you see it you forget it.

In addition to the impressive giant python, whether it is the characters appearing in the plot or the related plot, fans will forget this movie within a week at most.

When Wang Wei walked out of the screening room, he habitually opened the Tianya Film Critics Network, and saw a fresh film critic article - "Review of "Monty Python", a fast-moving movie with no nutritional value! 》

Wang Wei clicked in and read it, and found that the content of this film review was generally consistent with his own thoughts, and the conclusion made Wang Wei feel the same, "If you don't watch it with your brain, it is indeed a good special effects blockbuster, but don't Thinking about the plot and character design, they are all full of loopholes. If you simply pursue visual stimulation, "Monty Python" will be the best choice for this summer."

"Hey, why are the people in the screening room over there still crying?"

After hearing these words, Wang Wei, who was looking at his mobile phone, raised his head, followed the voices of passers-by, and found that groups of moviegoers were also walking out of the screening hall opposite.

Wang Wei inquired a little and learned that the movie "Young You" was playing in the screening room opposite. He was a little surprised for a moment.

He had heard of this movie, but didn’t know much about it in detail. After all, he admired muscular men like Shi Weijun, and was not too interested in playboys like Zhou Dingran, and the innocent-looking Cha Duo was not as good as him. A coquettish bitch who frequently hits the screen on Douyin. After all considerations, Wang Wei does not plan to watch the movie "Young You".

But what he didn't expect was that a movie would actually make the audience cry?

How contagious does this have to be?
He didn't understand. He followed the crowd out of the screening room. When passing by the cinema, he looked up at the screening list and found that "Young You" would be screened in twenty minutes. At this moment, the audience who had just been there flashed through his mind. His eyes were red and swollen, so he asked out of nowhere: "Are there any tickets for "Young You" at 12:10?"

When the conductor heard this, he lowered his head and checked it, and immediately said: "There are two more tickets, sir. You can take a look at the purchase page."

Wang Wei lowered his head and looked at the ticket purchase screen in front of him and found that there were only two marginal tickets left in the "Young You" screening room. One ticket was on the far left of the first row, and one ticket was on the far right of the first row.

And this screening hall is a giant screen hall, with a total of 220 seats in the entire screening hall.

Wang Wei's heart skipped a beat, and he checked the attendance rate of the screening halls for the following "Better Days" shows at different time periods, and found that every show of "Better Days" today was almost full, and most of the remaining tickets were sold out. It's on the edge.

"I bought it and give me the ticket for the seat on the far right!"

Wang Wei immediately opened his mobile phone to scan the QR code to buy tickets, and then when the time was up, he bought popcorn and mineral water, and followed the crowd into the "Young You" screening room.

Compared with the previous 3D theater, the number of people in this giant screen hall is more than double.

"Hey, dear, I thought the attendance rate of "Monty Python" exceeded 80%, which was great, but I didn't expect "Young You" to be full!"

Wang Wei felt incredible.

It was really full!
He bought the rightmost seat in the first row, but now, even the leftmost seat in the first row is occupied.

"100% attendance rate, dark horse, absolutely dark horse!"

Wang Wei muttered, and suddenly he saw a young couple sitting next to him distributing tissues, and he even heard the young couple's murmurs.

"Don't cry later!"

"If you don't cry, you definitely won't cry, and you're not allowed to cry either!"

"Yeah, hook, hook, hook!"

"Whoever cries is a dog!"

Wang Wei, a straight man who has been single for thirty years, felt his scalp tingling. Could it be that this is a dog abuse movie?

He immediately picked up his mobile phone and browsed through the film introduction and movie viewing reviews of "Young You".

"It turns out to be a movie about school violence..."

"Huh? There are so many viewers crying? Is there any tear-jerking plot?"

"Everyone is praising Zhou Dingran's acting skills... This is too harsh!"

Wang Wei muttered, dismissing or even scorning the unanimous praise online.

Especially the navy troops invited by Zhou Dingran, they are simply awesome!

He already regretted his impulsive purchase of tickets.

At the same time, everyone in the screening room finished taking their seats, and then the lights dimmed and the film officially started.

Two hours later.

Wang Wei walked out of the hospital line crying. (End of chapter)
