Chapter 399: Humiliation Day
Chapter 399 Humiliation Day
August 16th.
It is definitely a silent day for the Chinese film industry.
The highly anticipated “Infernal Affairs” dropped from 27 million at the box office to more than 20 million at the box office.
Although he was well prepared, this huge sense of gap undoubtedly gave everyone up and down Huaxing a hard blow.
was released for five days. Although the box office is close to 140 million, it is still a milestone for Chinese movies, but it is hopeless to reach the top of 700 million.
The premiere of “Superman 2” was close to RMB 50 million at the box office!
The ticket price is twice that of “Infernal Affairs”, and the number of premiere films is even more full when the three movies “Nightwalker”, “Our Motherland”, and “Infernal Affairs” are being shown. Another big Hollywood 3D movie, the defeat of “Infernal Affairs” seems reasonable in itself.
At the same time as the box office announcement.
The official website of the China Film Association has released several videos of the “Superman 2” director James Li’s lecture on “Talking about 3D Movies” at the venue.
[Hollywood and Chinese films are fundamentally different. James Lee’s lecture gave me a break and I learned a lot of advanced knowledge of Western industrial films] from director Shen Jinsong.
【We will be beaten if we fall behind. Any strength is worth learning. We must first know ourselves before we can make better progress. The lecture has indeed benefited a lot. I am very grateful to Mr. James Lee for answering our questions…] From the director Cao Bangguo.
[The Chinese film circle needs to be reformed, and we can’t just make those literary films and award-winning films. In the context of the times, commercial films will always be the mainstream. As directors, we should move closer to the mainstream. The special effects of “Superman 2” are really too much. It was too shocking. After listening to this lecture, I realized my own inadequacies…] From director Zhang Min.
【There are too many people at the venue, we are standing in the aisle…】From actor Lu Zitao.
【…】
Under the video, the comments of famous Huaxia directors or celebrities in the Huaxia entertainment circle were pinned to the top, and each comment was highly respected or sought after.
After reading these messages, you will unconsciously feel the authority of this lecture and the superiority of the participants, as if this “lecture” is a palace-level movie event.
At three in the morning.
The title “James Li Qian talks about 3D movies” was posted on Weibo’s hot search, and was rarely posted on the homepage, with the word “explosive” posted.
There are naturally many supporters of veteran directors…
Countless film critics swarmed up and began to comment on the concert, and they all felt that it was a very “inclusive”, “open-minded” Chinese film, “a collision exchange and learning between Chinese and Western films”, and even “learning from foreigners’ skills.” The words “to control the barbarians” have appeared.
Click on Weibo and swipe to the “movie” related title. A large piece of film is all about the amazing special effects of “Superman 2” and James Lee’s lecture. Netizens who don’t know the truth are seeing a lot of filmmakers bragging about it. After the significance of this “lecture” to Huaxia movies and the positive era effect of “Superman 2” on the international film industry, they all began to deviate under the rhythm of the navy…
[Although “Infernal Affairs” cannot represent the hope of Chinese films, and although there is no rule that Hollywood films cannot be released in August, the appearance of “Superman” is undoubtedly too purposeful! Look at what the ‘seniors” of our Directors Guild are doing. Up to now, they are still kneeling and licking Mr. Yang’s ass. This lecture has been blown to the sky, so I can’t stand up, right? 】
Four in the morning.
The insomniac Feng Kai couldn’t hold back his anger, and finally made such a series of curses on Weibo very irrationally.
After was scolded, countless people immediately scolded him back.
The screen is full of ‘small belly chicken intestines”, “What happened to the release of “Superman 2”? It’s not the domestic film protection month, has five days of box office time been left for “Infernal Affairs”?” “Chinese movies need a hundred flowers to bloom, I admit that “Infernal Affairs” Dao” is excellent, but is it so difficult to admit that the special effects of “Superman 2″ are excellent?” “Huaxia is a director with a monopoly like you, and Huaxia’s films will not progress.” “Old school, is it hurt? Only then can you make progress!” “What’s the dog’s name? Your master Zhou Yang didn’t even speak, why are you barking?”
Feng Kai was almost hurt by anger after seeing the countless comments below.
The whole Weibo is like a shithole.
After calming down, Feng Kai frowned and realized that all of this seemed to be premeditated, as if a pair of invisible hands were holding them tightly, making them breathless when they were caught off guard. gas.
But the only thing fortunate is that these scoldings did not last for more than an hour, and a large group of Zhou Yang’s fans rushed into the comment area under his Weibo and scolded with these people.
“You guys are a bunch of dogs!” “Superman 2 appeared just after “Infernal Affairs” was released. This is not a sniper.” “Is it deliberately disgusting?” “What’s going on with the relevant departments? ?” “Compared with Hollywood 3D blockbusters, literary films are not superior in themselves, right?” “Stinky bunch of shitholes…”
…………………………
Weibo on the morning of August 16 was very lively.
Click in, or Zhou Yang’s fans are scolding.
scold those veteran directors in China, scold “Superman 2”, scold James Lee…
Traitor, traitor, shameless, treason…
and other unpleasant words and curses were all scolded.
Brainless, stupid, uneducated, without any pattern at all, your Zhou Yang is so embarrassing and has been thrown into the world…
Either the fans who defended “Superman 2” and the Shui Jun film critics were scolding Zhou Yang’s fans, and all kinds of ugly words came one after another.
The whole Weibo became a mess.
Under this huge popularity, the Weibo server became stuck again!
“Depend on!”
“This person’s fan fighting ability is too strong!”
“Hurry up and use those rented servers!”
“it is good!”
“The server is down again… Let’s rent a few more.”
“Row!”
“Fortunately this person didn’t speak. If this person speaks on Weibo, I guess the server will have to come again…”
“How many fans does this person have?”
“2.4 million!”
“God, these are all real fans!”
“yes!”
Weibo is very lively.
However, the backstage staff of Weibo were very busy. Weibo engineer Dai Gao had just attended a friend’s wedding when he encountered a server paralysis.
After finally getting the server up and running, replacing the backup server capacity, and having the official Weibo referee carry out various titles and various cooling treatments, Weibo finally returned to normal.
Dai Gao breathed a long sigh of relief, looking at Zhou Yang’s 2.4 million followers on Weibo, he was a little fortunate.
“About 60% of Weibo’s active users have participated in this scolding battle…”
When the database colleague who was sweating profusely behind his back made such a sigh, Dai Gao couldn’t hide the shock on his face.
They never thought that a star would have such an amazing amount of traffic.
After this shock did not last long, they heard that the person in charge of the technical department in the distance, Manager Xu Changhong, hurried over, with a bit of solemnity on his face.
“There’s a call from above, everyone is working overtime at noon today!”
…………………………
April 17th.
The box office of “Superman 2” reached an astonishing 53 million RMB.
The daily box office of 48 million yuan on the first day, plus the 53 million yuan box office on the second day, the box office in two days exceeded 100 million!
shocked the entire Chinese film industry and made countless Chinese filmmakers gasp!
How much is “Infernal Affairs”?
On the sixth day of its release, the box office dropped to 16 million!
4 million more than before!
Even the daily box office of “Dark Walker” has 14 million!
is about to be flat…
Perhaps, the data of 16 million is a good data for other movies, but for “Infernal Affairs”, it is a disaster.
is not a problem with the movie, not with the actors, and not with the fans…
“Infernal Affairs”, as the most promising literary film in China, was heavily crushed by “Superman 2”, a Hollywood 3D blockbuster, and lost its hope of reaching the top. It seems to be an established fact.
Can’t beat it!
Really can’t beat it!
The scolding war on Weibo is still going on, but with the official criticism and cooling down, the scolding war has become much less heated.
In addition to being shocked by the box office numbers of “Superman 2”, netizens were also shocked by Zhou Yang’s Weibo fans.
Weibo has been launched for three days, and the number of Weibo followers has exceeded 3 million, and it is still making great progress.
In three days, the most popular list! Number one in the hot review list! Number one in fan growth…
Numerous firsts have made netizens realize who is China’s well-deserved top class, and also made Lu Zitao, the new star of the EXC group, a marginal figure.
“Why didn’t Zhou Yang respond?”
“yes!”
“What’s wrong with Zhou Yang? It’s normal that you didn’t attend the so-called lecture, but it’s time to say something, right?”
“It seems that Zhou Yang is in Laomei!”
“What is he doing in Laomei?”
“Isn’t the “Infernal Affairs” on Laomei’s side going to be painted? He seems to be communicating with Laomei, hoping to arrange more films for “Infernal Affairs”?”
“Forget it, your own territory in China is bullied by “Superman 2″ like this, you are in Laomei, isn’t it necessary to bow down?”
“…”
“I asked Huaxing official, Huaxing official, Zhou Yang’s manager Xu Mei couldn’t contact Zhou Yang!”
“Why didn’t you take Xu Mei to Laomei?”
“I don’t know… It seems that it is inconvenient for Xu Mei to handle matters on Huaxia’s side…”
“He went to Laomei alone?”
“Yes!”
“The latest news, the overseas “Infernal Affairs” has all been drawn, and the total box office is only 1.3 million US dollars!”
“So low?”
“Yes, overseas publicity can’t keep up, and film layout can’t keep up…”
“This……”
online.
Netizens were talking a lot.
But no one knows what Zhou Yang did in Laomei, only that the overseas version of “Infernal Affairs” has already been drawn.
The box office was poor, only $1.3 million!
After seeing this data, Zhou Yang’s fans felt very uncomfortable, almost humiliating data!
Just when everyone felt depressed…
Huaxing’s official Weibo suddenly announced another news without warning.
“Beyond “The Chainsaw”, the overseas version of “The Departed”, “The Departed”, broke $6 million at the box office, breaking the record for an export film!”
