Chapter 441 93 points and 39 points
Of course, the movie is anything but humorous.
The passion is always there.
In the end, Ah Xing's Tathagata Palm move was used throughout the entire movie and pierced the hearts of every movie fan. The palm move that fell from the sky directly penetrated everyone's heart.
"So handsome."
Many movie fans subconsciously sighed.
Even when everyone was still immersed in the power of Tathagata's palm, the camera turned and came to the final scene:
When everything calmed down, the male protagonist opened a candy shop, and the signboard was a huge rainbow lollipop.
Until the hostess discovered this store one day.
Then...
The hero and heroine looked at each other.
The camera rotated around, and the grown-up male and female protagonists suddenly returned to their childhood days. The two of them grinned and said nothing.
But when everyone is still moved.
The camera turned again.
Another child eating a lollipop appeared and was seduced by a beggar: "You are a unique martial arts wizard. It depends on you to maintain world peace. I have a secret book here. I think I am destined to be with you. I’ll sell it to you for just ten yuan!”
The child was about to leave.
The beggar shouted: "Wait! This one is not suitable? Also!"
Uh-huh!
A bunch of martial arts secrets appeared in the beggar's hand.
Of course, the names on the secret manual are all widely circulated kung fu in Blue Star Chinese Martial Arts books, not the "Eighteen Palms of the Dragon" and "The Nine Swords of Dugu" from previous lives...
Seeing this scene, all the audience smiled knowingly.
"Hahaha, I'm lying again."
"It's not a lie, they are all real!"
"You're right, the hero has mastered the Tathagata Palm."
"Damn it, who is this beggar? It's terrifying to think about it."
"I want it too, I want it too!"
"..."
At this moment, brisk music sounded.
Then the big screen gradually turned into darkness.
The movie is officially over!
When they saw the final words on the screen, many people's laughter suddenly stopped and they couldn't help but rub their eyes.
it's over?
Is this the end?
Especially Chen Yixuan, she suddenly felt a sense of loss in her heart. This was something she had never felt since watching movies for many years.
In the past, watching movies was basically for falling in love.
Who watches movies seriously?
Of course, there are also good movies that they can watch when they are bored, but that's about it.
However, in the movie "Kung Fu" in front of her, her eyes never left the big screen from the first second, and she even broke her rule not to show her teeth when smiling in the theater.
No, it's more than that.
She found that in just one hundred minutes, she experienced the joys and sorrows of life, and a variety of emotions were piled together, which made her feel very sad.
Uh-huh!
The cinema lights came on again.
The audience began to leave one after another, but many people were still staring at the screen with reluctance in their eyes.
"Second brush!"
Someone shouted out and hurriedly went to book tickets again.
"That's right, second brush."
"I didn't understand many scenes just now. I have to watch them again."
“It was so shocking that I had to revisit it.”
"Second brush."
"Second brush."
No matter how beautiful the words of praise are, they are not as weighty as the words "second brush".
Since many fans have made up their mind to watch the movie again, it has confirmed the excellence of "Kung Fu".
Chen Yixuan was also considering whether to do it a second time. When she turned her head, she saw Zhou Zimo looking at her with a complicated expression.
Chen Yixuan thought for a moment and understood. She became angry and said, "What are you looking at! Haven't you seen it?"
Zhou Zimo leaned back subconsciously: "No... no..."
I really haven’t seen it!
Chen Yixuan was furious when she saw Zhou Zimo's actions.
What lady? Shy? Shy?
Tongtong refused, stood up and shouted: "How dare you look at me like this? Take my Tathagata Palm!"
Zhou Zimo had never seen his girlfriend like this before, and he was stunned. But having said that, this feeling seemed pretty good, giving him a different kind of pleasure.
"Pa!" "Ah."
"Pa!" "Ah."
"Does it hurt?" "I want more."
After a while, Zhou Zimo held the sturdy Chen Yixuan in his arms and asked obediently: "Your Majesty, what are we going to do next?"
Chen Yixuan glanced at the screen before she was satisfied: "Are the quality of today's movies so high? They can actually make us forget about it and watch it from the beginning to the end. I don't even care about kissing me. To be honest, my heart is filled with emotion when watching movies now. It’s completely arousing, and the one-hundred-minute movie “Kung Fu” just now didn’t quench my thirst at all.”
Zhou Zimo quickly said: "Since we are not satisfied, how about we watch "Fortress" again? I heard that the quality of "Fortress" is even better. I think it will satisfy our hearts after watching it."
Chen Yixuan's eyes lit up: "Okay!"
What she originally wanted to watch most was "Fortress", but she changed it to "Kung Fu" because she ran out of tickets.
Thinking of this, Chen Yixuan frowned: "What should I do if I don't have a ticket?"
Zhou Zimo snapped his fingers: "I just checked, and suddenly there were a small number of remaining tickets for "Fortress". There were no tickets originally, but I guess some viewers canceled their tickets temporarily. Then I immediately Bought it."
"clever!"
Chen Yixuan praised.
As soon as the two got their tickets, they saw the audience who had watched the last show "Fortress" just walking out of the theater.
They quickly paid attention to each other's expressions.
Generally speaking, whether a movie is good or not can be judged from the expressions of fans who have just watched the movie.
Fans were elated and the movie was generally good.
Fans rave about it, but it's generally movie trash.
But what surprised them was that the movie fans who walked out of the theater after watching "Fortress" were all very silent, with complicated expressions on their faces, and seemed to be in a heavy mood.
Zhou Zimo caught one person and said, "Hey, brother, don't spoil the story. I just want to ask, is "Fortress" good to watch?"
Opponent: "Historical..."
Zhou Zimo's eyes lit up: "Epic movie?"
Damn it!
Oh my gosh!
No wonder the movie fans I saw just now were in such heavy moods. They probably couldn't recover from watching the movie.
Zhou Zimo was excited. It seemed that the propaganda was true. They were about to see a science fiction masterpiece.
Chen Yixuan couldn't wait to grab Zhou Zimo's hand and walked inside: "Let's go!"
This time, she was really thirsty.
The enthusiasm aroused by "Kung Fu" was like a volcano erupting, making her feel excited.
…
"Kung Fu" is 100 minutes long.
"Magic City Fortress" produced by Canxing Culture lasts 121 minutes.
Therefore, when "Fortress" had just finished its first premiere, within twenty minutes, there was already overwhelming news on the Internet about "Kung Fu".
Canxing Culture.
Everyone from top to bottom is watching the biggest showdown in movie history.
It is not only a PK between two major movies with investment of hundreds of millions, but also an alternative competition between two major entertainment companies, Yunhai Media and Canxing Culture.
If Yunhai Media wins, it will continue to lead China.
If Canxing Culture wins, it may give Yunhai Media a heavy blow. Because of investment losses of hundreds of millions of yuan, even Yunhai Media could not bear it.
Of course, a win-win is also possible.
But no one wants a win-win situation.
Isn’t it good to win alone?
So today, on the day of the premiere of the two movies, the top executives of Canxing Culture gathered together and were paying close attention to the evaluation of "Kung Fu" on the Internet.
To determine the reputation of a movie, the best way is to go to Douban.
As the most professional film and television rating website in China, the scores and comments on each movie are very accurate.
For example: Wang Mo's last movie "Fist of Heroes" finally received a high score of 9.1 on Douban, and then became a classic Kung Fu blockbuster.
Literally, except for some art films. Douban's ratings of movies are, to a certain extent, a benchmark for the movie market.
The ratings are high and the box office basically cannot be low.
The ratings are low and the box office is basically not high.
After looking at the time, a manager stood up and said in a deep voice: "The premiere of "Kung Fu" has ended, and the ratings on Douban have also been opened."
"Um."
The president nodded and immediately opened Douban and came to the "Kung Fu" page.
He needs to know the reputation of the movie as soon as possible so that he can quickly formulate the next publicity strategy.
refresh!
refresh!
After a delay of almost a minute, the president finally saw the ratings of "Kung Fu".
"How many?"
When he saw the score, the president rubbed his eyes and thought he had made a mistake.
I saw on the page: "Kung Fu", 9.3 points.
For a moment, the president was stunned.
Even all the executives in the entire conference room took a breath.
Because this score is exactly the same as when "Fist of Heroes" opened the scoring, it is also an incredible number of 9.3 points.
"Why is it so high?"
"Is it because the data hasn't been refreshed yet and only a few people have commented?"
"Is it too high?"
"Don't all the industry analysts say that "Kung Fu" is most likely a bad movie to make money?"
"..."
Exclamations came and went.
The president was not well. He took a few deep breaths to calm down his turbulent heart. But there was still something ridiculous in his eyes.
9.3 points? !
His inner score for "Fortress" is only 9 points. Why is "Kung Fu" higher than it?
Especially according to previous industry analysis, the movie "Kung Fu" is most likely a joke.
The reason "Fist of Heroes" scored 9.3 on its first day of release was because it ushered in a new era of kung fu movies and became a textbook in kung fu movies.
But why "Kung Fu"?
Is it a comedy?
Is it a movie starring a newcomer?
Bullshit!
However, the obvious score of 9.3 on Douban cannot be faked. And he refreshed it again, and was even more shocked to find that the score from just over a thousand people suddenly jumped to 11,000!
but!
The score is still strong at the level of 9.3 points, with no downward trend at all.
Now, the president really couldn't sit still.
Because basically all movies, the ratings will decrease as the number of people increases. Even for "Fist of Heroes", after more people rated it, its score inevitably dropped to 9.1.
But now, the ratings of "Kung Fu" can be stable?
"It...is it better than "Fist of Heroes"?"
What international joke are you kidding? !
"Fist of Heroes" has been rated by the industry as an unsurpassable Kung Fu movie textbook. How could "Kung Fu" surpass it?
Isn’t this nonsense?
The president looked ridiculous.
There was a pause.
He still thought to himself: "Read the comments first."
Only comments can show the true psychological feelings of movie fans after watching the movie.
First person to comment: "I laughed so hard."
A second commented: "I cried so hard."
A third commented: "I cried and laughed in the cinema."
Seeing this, a thought immediately came to the president's mind: Are they all fake? This comment is so unprofessional.
I would like to ask, how can a movie make some people laugh silly, some people cry miserably, and some people laugh and cry at the same time?
Are you playing a magic movie?
However, the president still patiently looked at the other comments.
Because of these comments, he couldn't figure out the reason. He wanted to know the true quality of this movie.
Fortunately, what follows are some normal comments.
"This is the dream-like Kung Fu masterpiece in my heart."
"Laughing from beginning to end, it turns out that kung fu movies can really create alternative humor."
"Can you imagine the miracle that no one in the entire movie theater left from front to back?"
"Hahaha! Any line can make me laugh out loud!"
"Is this the nonsensical humor of the advertisement? Oh my God, it's so funny. Anyway, everyone in the theater was laughing so hard that we were out of breath."
"It's gorgeous and exaggerated, but it makes me feel very reasonable and addicted to it. It's amazing."
"It exceeded my expectations time and time again. It can be said that this is the only movie since I watched the movie that I almost didn't guess the follow-up plot, and there was no bloody plot. So after watching the whole movie, I There is only one word to describe it: cool!”
"A great movie, yes... you read that right, I used the word great. Kung fu, love, humor, touching... every aspect falls into the category of great."
"I was wrong. I apologize to Brother Mo! I had previously firmly believed that no kung fu film could surpass "Fist of Heroes", but at this moment I knelt down and worshiped. Brother Mo's screenwriting skills once again shocked me. Although "Fist of Heroes" "Fist of Heroes" is still a textbook in kung fu movies, but "Kung Fu" has reached the pinnacle of kung fu movies on another level."
"..."
Of course, there are also some discordant sounds.
For example, comments like this will appear here and there:
"Ridiculous."
"It's too exaggerated. It's just a waste of kung fu movies."
"It's an embarrassing sight."
"..."
However, these comments were very few, and they were quickly overwhelmed by overwhelming praise.
The president's face became increasingly ugly, and he did not appear happy because of the negative reviews. Because he knows that only a small number of negative reviews can prove that these reviews are true.
Because no matter how good a movie is, there is no guarantee that there will be no bad reviews.
But... there are too few negative reviews.
And these negative reviews are all about movies in general.
The real negative reviews are those that comment on the empty plot, poor actors, exaggerated actions, etc. Such negative reviews are the ultimate killer for a movie.
However, the president did not see any such bad reviews.
"Isn't it?"
The president muttered to himself, shaking his head.
He browsed it again and found that there were no professional film reviews yet, so he could not get a comprehensive feeling about the movie from the reviews of professional film critics.
However, it can be seen from the ratings and massive praise.
Look no further.
Close the laptop gently.
The president raised his head and found that the conference room was already full of discussion.
"Such a high rating? Did you brush it up?"
"With Wang Mo's identity, it is impossible to swipe it. So it is most likely true."
"But isn't it too high? Could it be that this "Kung Fu" film really allowed him to reach another level?"
"Looking at the comments, it seems that there is indeed a new breakthrough."
"Unthinkable!"
Everyone had complicated expressions. It was actually the reputation of "Kung Fu" that caught them off guard.
high!
Too high!
In fact, many of them had previously judged that since Wang Mo dared to give up "Fist of Heroes" and handed over the script of "Fortress" to film "Kung Fu", he dared to use new actors. Then there is a high probability that "Kung Fu" will not be as bad as the industry speculates, and it may actually have some bright plot points. But they still didn't expect that Wang Mo would actually take Kung Fu movies to a whole new level again.
This is so ridiculous!
Who can tell them how Wang Mo did it?
Well... now is not the time to discuss that.
"Ahem."
The president coughed lightly and brought everyone's thoughts back to reality: "Okay, everyone, calm down. Judging from the ratings and fan comments of "Kung Fu", this movie may really be a guaranteed good movie. Maybe its subsequent ratings It will decrease, but there is a high probability that it will not be lower than 8.5 points. Everyone is in this industry, and they should know what concepts a movie with a reputation of 8.5 points or above represents.
For a commercial movie with a good reputation, coupled with the capabilities of Yunhai Media, its box office will definitely not be too bad. So...we all have to be disappointed, and at the same time we have to accept the fact. That is: "Kung Fu" is a good movie that is not inferior to "Fortress". "
At this point, everyone sighed.
"Yeah, ugh."
"Indeed, Wang Mo still has two skills."
"Our hope of crushing each other is gone."
"No wonder Wang Mo dared to spend a lot of money to create such a movie."
"Originally, I thought we could overwhelm each other with the gimmick of a science fiction masterpiece, but now it seems a bit difficult."
The president continued: "In this case, I'm afraid we won't be able to crush each other at the box office, and we won't be able to win by word of mouth. There's only a win-win situation."
A win-win situation.
When he said this, the president was a little reluctant.
He doesn't want to make a lot of money with Yunhai Media.
But he knew that in this case, a win-win situation was the best option. Otherwise, if two movies with similar reputations continue to compete, both sides will suffer.
Speaking of which.
The president looked at his watch and said solemnly: "It's almost time. The premiere of "Fortress" is also coming to an end. Let's wait for the ratings of "Fortress" to come out before continuing the meeting."
"good!"
"Can."
"Definitely above 9.3 points."
“It can’t be lower than Kung Fu.”
"I guess 9.4 points."
"I guess 9.5 points."
"Is it possible it could be higher?"
"..."
at the same time.
Yunhai Media.
When the ratings of "Kung Fu" came out on Douban, the whole company was shaken!
Another classic masterpiece!
As for the new department, Yuan Xiong rushed to Wang Mo's office almost madly: "Ah Mo, 9.3 points, hahaha, your movie got 9.3 points on Douban!!! Can you imagine?"
Wang Mozhen said: "Yes."
Yuan Xiong: "..."
There was a pause.
Yuan Xiongcai added: "Do you know what a word-of-mouth movie with a score of 9.3 means?"
Wang Mo still said seriously: "I know."
Grass!
I can't talk anymore today.
Yuan Xiong resisted the urge to beat Wang Mo to death, and then said excitedly: "No matter what, with the ratings of "Kung Fu", the box office should easily be over 3 billion."
When he said this, he immediately yelled: "It's the idiots of Canxing Culture who are stepping on the horse. If their movies weren't against us, they would inevitably take away a lot of box office. Then the box office of "Kung Fu" would definitely be More than 4 billion. 4 billion! You know this means...forget it, don't ask, otherwise you will definitely say you know again."
Wang Mo raised his eyebrows this time, with a smile on his face: "Brother Xiong, how did you know that "Fortress" will take away our box office?"
Yuan Xiong said angrily: "Isn't that nonsense? How can a big production like "Fortress" be bad at the box office?"
"Ah."
Wang Mo calmly said: "The box office is high or low, it doesn't matter whether you are a big production or not."
After finishing speaking.
He raised his head and looked at the clock hanging on the wall of his office.
Do the math, the time should be up, right?
Yes.
Time is up.
It’s time for the premiere of “Fortress” to end.
After staring at the wall clock quietly for a moment, he returned his gaze to the computer in front of him and murmured to himself: "The ratings should have been out by now, right?"
…
At the same time, the top executives of Canxing Culture all became enthusiastic and eager.
"Time is up."
"Well, we're here. Quickly turn on the computer and look at the ratings of "Magic City Fortress"."
"Hahaha, Lao Zheng, should we make a bet on whether my guess is accurate or yours?"
"It must be me. The rating is definitely 9.3, which is most likely the same as "Kung Fu"."
"You are too conservative. I guess the score will definitely exceed 9.3. If the score is above 9.3, you will have to treat me to a big meal."
"no problem!"
"..."
Everyone was excited.
Everyone's face is full of confidence, ready to welcome the epoch-making science fiction masterpiece.
Originally, many of them had the highest inner score of about 9 for "Fortress", but after seeing the score of "Kung Fu", everyone found that they seemed too conservative, so they all raised their inner expectations to 9.3 or 9.4. points or more.
After all, "Kung Fu" scored 9.3 points, why would "Fortress" be lower?
"Come! Witness the miraculous moment together!"
The president stood up, projected his computer screen on the big screen, and then operated the mouse to click on the "Magic City Fortress" page.
refresh!
refresh!
The next second, under the breathless gaze of the top management, a score appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
Douban.com.
Magic City Fortress: 3.9 points. (End of chapter)
