Chapter 847 Closing the Door to Science Fiction Movies
August 8, the eve of the release of "Shanghai Fortress".

Early in the morning, outside the villa area, Li Mu, Liu Yifei, Xiao Baozi and Ala were all there.

Li Mu couldn't help but yawn. He had been busy with the "Changjin Lake" project these days. This task was really stressful and he planned to sleep in. However, Liu Yifei, who had been losing weight recently, dragged him to join her, under the pretext of exercising as a family to get a good body.

The little Baozi, who loves fun and playing, naturally agreed with both hands. Li Mu estimated that in the little Baozi's view, this was just playing.

"Yes, you have to do the movements correctly, otherwise you will get hurt when you run later." Liu Yifei was correcting the little bun's warm-up exercises.

"Hehe, I have a few!" The little bun was smiling brightly at this moment. He was not at all sleepy due to getting up early in the morning. Instead, he was full of energy, much better than Li Mu.

“Dad, come and help you again.” Seeing Li Mu pinching his calf weakly, the little bun ran over happily, as if wanting to help Li Mu.

It was just that the little bun's strength was too weak, and he didn't feel any help at all. Li Mu couldn't help but touch the little bun's head with a smile, "It's OK, great!"

"Yeah!" The little bun was very excited to be praised, but Liu Yifei on the side was a little jealous, "Why don't you help mommy to pinch it, mommy is tired too"

"Yeah, I'm here." The little bun was very busy for a while.

Ala seemed to know that he would have to exercise later, and he kept spinning in circles in front of the people.

"Very good, I declare that our family sports club is officially established. There are currently three members, me, my father, and the little bun."

"Yeah!" The little boy was very considerate and clapped his hands immediately, his eyes full of anticipation.

Li Mu also smiled and clapped. After all, running is good for the body and mind.

"Okay, let's go!" At Liu Yifei's command, the little bun took the lead, "First in our group!"

But unfortunately, Allah did not give him face and overtook him immediately.

"Ala, I'm the first." The little bun started to compete with Ala, and even hugged Ala and refused to let it run away.

"Woof woof woof!" Ala barked a few times helplessly.

Li Mu and Liu Yifei were at the back, almost laughing to death.

However, he also received a call early in the morning. When he saw the caller, Li Mu was very helpless. Because it was about the crew of "Changjin Lake", he had to slow down while answering the call.

In the front, Liu Yifei's hair was tied into a ponytail, which trembled behind her as she ran. Her running posture was also very standard, and it was obvious that she had practiced it.

After receiving the call, Li Mu quickly caught up. Although he ran very slowly, due to the weather, Liu Yifei's temples had already begun to sweat slightly.

"Do you think this is similar to what we did in school?" Liu Yifei chatted with Li Mu while running.

"Not really. I don't think I've seen you running around in the school!" Li Mu shook his head, very uncooperative.

"How do you know I haven't run in school?" Liu Yifei's eyes revealed a cunning look at this time, "I used to exercise in school frequently, didn't you see it?"

"Who are you kidding? The stadium is so small. I see it all the time, how could I not know? You were a very busy person at that time."

"I'm not here, so who are you looking at? Is it some vixen?" Liu Yifei asked immediately, leaving Li Mu a little stunned.

"Good fellow, it seems you are setting a trap for me here?"

"Tell me quickly, is it true?" Liu Yifei asked with a smile.

At this moment, the little boy in front accidentally fell to the ground because he was always playing with Ala.

Li Mu and Liu Yifei looked at each other. They both saw the little bun fall, but it was obviously not a big deal. Then they began to act in perfect harmony.

Li Mu quickly turned around and picked up his cell phone, seemingly still on the phone.

Liu Yifei stopped and squatted to tie her shoelaces.

The two of them had to pretend not to see it, otherwise the little kid who was originally fine might have cried a few times.

As expected, the pouting little bun quickly glanced around, and seeing that no one was paying attention to her, she stood up directly, like nothing happened, and ignored the little buns surrounding her, and rushed out, "First in the nest"

Seeing this, Ala hurried to follow.

Seeing this, Li Mu and Liu Yifei couldn't help but smile at each other and continued to follow behind.

Friday, January 8th.

For "Nezha", this is the second weekend, but because of the huge number of tap water and high reputation, the box office on the working days of the second week seems to be almost the same as the first week, with almost no decline. This abnormal situation has caused the industry to exclaim.

"Why does this trend seem like it's going to explode?"

"Isn't it going to be another 4 billion movie? Mengying Media is really strong this year!"

“I feel like Shanghai Fortress is in danger. Nezha is increasing instead of decreasing. I’m afraid it will explode in the second week.”

"." Although there was some prejudice before, after all, the potential of a cartoon is limited, but now the data is there, it is hard to ignore.

Obviously, this box office trend is caused by many people who don’t like watching animated films going to the cinema because of various "tap water" publicity.

The reason why the box office of animated films has always been different from that of real-life films is because many people think that it is a waste of money to go to the cinema to watch such films, and it is better to watch them on home computers.

But it is obvious that because of "Nezha", this concept seems to be beginning to change.

The change in concepts has directly led to the loosening of the box office ceiling.

However, at this moment, the nightmare for "Shanghai Fortress" seems to have just begun.

Although Lu Han claimed to have 6000 million followers on Weibo, the box office of "Shanghai Fortress" including pre-sales and midnight screenings was only 3600 million, which means that only about 100 million viewers chose to buy tickets to watch the movie.

This data is considered seriously unsatisfactory by industry insiders, because the theaters still gave 33% of the screenings, taking a lot of screenings away from "Nezha" and "The Bravest".

Of course, "The Bravest" had the greatest impact, which made Yu Dong very unhappy, after all, it affected his interests.

"In my opinion, with this data, we should just adjust the screening schedule this afternoon. I heard that the theaters scheduled for Shanghai Fortress had almost no seats."

As a veteran in the industry, Yu Dong can see the current decline of "Shanghai Fortress" at a glance.

"It's okay. We should know in the afternoon and it should be adjusted tomorrow." Li Mu smiled, ignored him and continued to work on "Changjin Lake".

However, at noon, "Shanghai Fortress" seemed to have angered the public. The entire network began to complain crazily, and negative reviews came in like a tide.

This Waterloo-like bad word-of-mouth caught many people who had not yet watched the film off guard, and they all started to watch the fun.

"It's a rubbish movie. As for science fiction, it basically collects all the mistakes that Chinese science fiction can make. As for romance, it has the self-awareness to not even dare to release it during the Chinese Valentine's Day."

"It's China's first sci-fi film about a love triangle, a romance drama in a sci-fi shell. This is the worst time a Chinese sci-fi film has been criticized. You didn't even copy Li Mu's ready-made homework. You deserve it to be bad!"

"Lu Han, you are not a real man. You are going to lose a lot if you ask him to take the photo with you, right?"

"After watching the movie, my first impression is that Lu Han sings really well. Really, he should sing more."

"."

For a time, all kinds of ratings of "Shanghai Fortress" directly refreshed the lowest scores of major bad movies in 2019. Douban even went straight to 3.0 points. It should be noted that these are complaints from users who watched the movie in the early morning and morning.

Chen Chihong, the publicity director of CTS, was extremely worried at this point. He almost fainted when he saw all the negative reviews.

Everyone in the industry knows that the scores on platforms such as Tao Piaopiao, Maoyan and Douban, as well as the real evaluations of the first batch of moviegoers, will become key factors in determining the subsequent box office.

Under the current circumstances, it seems that collapse is imminent.

"Director Teng, we must curb this situation. We are responsible for the media, and we need you and the crew for the interviews." Chen Chihong just wanted to grab the last straw at this moment.

"These people are really despicable. They are definitely slandering us maliciously. I suspect it is probably our competitors who are maliciously posting negative reviews."

Teng Huatao also had to clear his name at this time. If he allowed netizens to say so, he would be finished and he had to pass the blame on.

"Don't worry, Mr. Chen, I will definitely cooperate with our publicity work"

"Yeah!" Chen Chihong knew very well that Teng Huatao was trying to pass on the blame, but they were now on the same front, so he could only nod silently.

By the afternoon, all kinds of negative reviews had arrived as expected, and a still from the movie caused countless netizens who had not read the film to give crazy negative reviews.

Because in the stills, Lu Han, who plays a soldier, still has a fair and clean face and his long hair is not messy in the doomsday situation, just like in an idol drama.

This really made netizens unable to hold back.

“Are you really making a science fiction movie?”

"I really don't understand the point of inviting Lu Han!"

"I laughed. Can you please watch "The Wandering Earth"? What is this? Is this the end of your family? Feelings are still flourishing."

"."

Just as netizens could not help but mock the film, the official of Shanghai Fortress seemed to be angry at the comments. On Weibo, they almost questioned the audience, asking three questions in a row: Is this a bad movie? Is this a bad movie? Is this a bad movie?

However, netizens’ responses were even more devastating.

"Please remove the question mark, thank you!"

"It's a bad movie, it's a bad movie, it's a bad movie!"
