NOVEL NEXT Chapter 443 The all-round shock of
What?
Guo Bin, what are you doing?
After seeing Guo Bin's review of "Fortress", many netizens subconsciously rubbed their eyes, thinking they had read it wrong.
Even the CEO of Canxing Culture suddenly felt excited after seeing Guo Bin's film review.
The president seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw: Sure enough, someone still understands this movie!
But when he saw the full review, he almost fainted.
Exploded with rage.
I saw this article titled ["Fortress", also an epoch-making film] which reads:
“Everyone, please stop scolding and criticizing this movie.
In a sense, this movie is indeed of epoch-making significance, and I even think its significance is even greater than "Kung Fu". Because it symbolizes the end of the movie starring Xiao Xianrou.
In the past few years, due to the high popularity and popularity of traffic stars, a false illusion of prosperity and popularity has been created, which deceived the entire industry and netizens into thinking that traffic stars have strong market appeal.
As a result, a variety of movies and TV series starring young actors appeared on the market... one after another, bad movies that refreshed the lower limit of ratings and our viewing experience were born.
They even seized the share of veteran actors, took away the salary of veteran actors, ignored the director's orders, and did not abide by the rules when acting, causing the film and television market to be in a mess. However, with the strong support of capital and the crazy pursuit of fans, everyone can only swallow their anger.
At this time, "Magic City Fortress" appeared!
For Xiaoxianrou, this is the pinnacle of their glory. The large-scale movie production worth hundreds of millions of dollars, the New Year's Day release, the leading role, the enthusiasm set off by the entire Internet, and the peak wave of public opinion that lasted for a month made many people think that Xiaoxianrou would usher in a new era of movies!
really!
It didn't disappoint me.
A high-rise building that has reached its peak of illusion will inevitably collapse when it reaches a certain height.
And "Magic City Fortress" became the last straw at the top of the building, causing the illusory world of fresh meat to instantly collapse and turn into nothingness.
That’s why I call it an epoch-making movie. I think as the end of the little fresh meat era, "Fortress" will be remembered by history forever! "
After reading this "special" film review by Guo Bin.
Netizens who had already started playing the keyboard and wanted to scold Guo Bin for accepting the money were shocked.
"Damn it, Guo Bin, I'm going to kneel down for you!"
"What an amazing comment!"
"Hahahaha, "Fortress" is such an epoch-making movie."
"What you said makes so much sense. I admire you so much."
"Absolutely correct. "Fortress" sounded the death knell of traffic. For this reason alone, it will be remembered in history. So I will award another star."
"Originally I was still heartbroken about spending dozens of dollars, but after reading the movie review, I felt better. Sure enough, the old man's words are right: even a piece of shit can fertilize the land."
"..."
When Wang Mo saw this film review, he was filled with admiration.
This film critic is such a talented person!
Even such a unique review angle can be found.
On the other hand, everyone in Canxing Culture was so angry that they almost vomited blood.
Because of Guo Bin's film review, the degree of humiliation is deeper than 2.6.
Epoch-making?
Be remembered by history?
I'll fuck your grandma!
If it weren't for a harmonious society now, the senior officials would have wanted to issue a killing order against Guo Bin.
Of course, Guo Bin’s film review is just one of them.
For two movies with such huge differences, almost all of China's famous film critics and even marketing accounts and media will not give up the opportunity to grab traffic.
then.
In a short period of time, various film reviews appeared like snowflakes.
The contents are all very similar.
A good one.
A bad one.
The polarization of word-of-mouth was finally reflected in the box office.
On the first day, "Kung Fu" took in a box office of 210 million, while "Fortress" only had a box office of 75 million, and even half of the more than 70 million was pre-sale box office.
certainly.
If you just look at the box office, the performance of "Fortress" does not seem to be bad.
The first-day gross of more than 70 million yuan, if compared to other movies, the final box office would be over 1 billion yuan.
However, only people in the industry know that "Magic City Fortress" is a waste and will never improve again. Because they can see a core's attendance:
The attendance rate of the first game of "Fortress" was 56.3%. The attendance rate of the second game dropped sharply to 23.1%. The attendance rate of the third game dropped directly to 9%. The attendance rate of the last game on the first day was even lower. to 4.5%.
It can be said that "Magic City Fortress" created another miracle, with the attendance rate plummeting tenfold on the first day.
Theater chains have always aimed at making profits. When a movie's attendance rate cannot support its film schedule, it is inevitable to reduce its film schedule.
then.
The next day, the film schedule of "Fortress" dropped directly to 15.6%, and the attendance rate was cut in half!
On the other hand, the film scheduling rate of "Kung Fu" rose to 43.5%.
The change in film schedule was expected by everyone.
However, the box office performance on the second day still shocked many people.
At the end of the second day, when everyone looked at the final box office of the day, the entire network once again burst into exclamation.
On the second day alone, the single-day box office of "Fortress" dropped to 19.88 million, not even 20 million. This kind of cliff-like box office is probably unprecedented.
Looking at "Kung Fu" again, the box office today was fixed at 430 million!
Many people were dumbfounded.
Because in the history of Chinese movies, there has never been such an abnormal single-day box office. Although due to the explosion of word-of-mouth on the first day, many people guessed that the box office would increase on the second day, but who would have thought that it would not only increase, but also more than double!
"Isn't it too perverted?"
"The box office in a single day is more than 400 million?"
"Oh my god, I remember that the single-day box office champion in China's box office history was only 370 million before, right? Now "Kung Fu" has raised it to tens of millions?"
"An incredible achievement."
"Is this movie going to make history at the box office?"
"China's previous box office champion was 5.1 billion. Could it be that "Kung Fu" wants to surpass this number?"
"Look at the final box office estimate for this movie on Maoyan."
Many people were upset and quickly opened the Maoyan box office.
On Maoyan, there is usually a movie’s final box office evaluated by a professional organization.
For example, yesterday on Maoyan, its estimated box office for "Kung Fu" was: 3.3 billion.
But now, everyone is surprised to find that the estimated box office on Maoyan has become 5.2 billion!
"Oh my god, 5.2 billion!"
"Exceeding, really surpassing!"
"Is "Kung Fu" going to create Chinese box office history?"
"It's too outrageous."
"The main thing is that it looks good. I've already tried it for the second time and I'm still not satisfied with it."
"You're right. This movie can really be called a masterpiece of Chinese cinema. It was explosive throughout."
Although the estimated box office on Maoyan fluctuated too much in many cases, everyone was still excited when they saw that the estimated box office of "Kung Fu" surpassed the highest box office of a movie in Chinese history.
Yunhai Media, in particular, seized this point and once again increased its publicity.
The first comedy in history!
Create an era of nonsensical comedy!
Estimated box office history: No. 1!
The reputation has exploded!
Various promotional slogans can arouse the enthusiasm of movie fans, and then make them walk into the theater with strong curiosity to watch "Kung Fu".
The next few days.
The box office of this movie started a huge explosion like a rocket taking off.
On the third day of New Year's Day, the box office in a single day was 460 million.
On the first day after New Year's Day, the single-day box office still had an incredible 200 million.
Then there is.
240 million.
270 million.
250 million.
One week later, the total box office of "Kung Fu" reached an exaggerated 2.06 billion.
"the first week."
"Break two billion."
"The average working day is more than 200 million."
These keywords added together are enough to make many people's pupils tremble.
Especially seven days after its release, its box office has not declined at all and is still very strong.
And as time goes by, more and more people have discovered that this movie is not simply funny, but has quite a lot of details in it.
A certain movie fan posted a comment: [Did you discover these details of "Kung Fu"? 】
"When many people watch "Kung Fu", they are just amazed by the powerful Kung Fu in it, and the humor that makes them laugh again and again. But when you watch the movie, you discover these small details. ?"
"First of all, there's Azhen. Buck-toothed Jane can actually afford to listen to records in the slums, and she also says she wants to pay rent to everyone, which shows that she should be very rich. And she changes her clothes every time she appears on camera, and she never repeats it. . Then have you ever wondered why Buck Yazhen changes clothes so often? Why does she still live in Zhulong Village when she is so rich? "
"Many people must think that Buck Yazhen is engaged in a special industry. But there is another detail: in the scene of the history of the Ax Gang's fortune in the film, you can clearly see that Azhen is sitting opposite the gambling table, with a distinguished status. She can be on the On such a gambling table, Bucktooth Zhen’s identity is probably far more complicated than we imagined.”
"Secondly, the three grandmasters appear in the same order every time. This implies the level of the three's strength."
"Before Coolie Qiang was killed by Tian Can Di Que, a cat was chopped into two pieces by an invisible sound wave. This shows that the blind man's strength is not simple."
"Every time Jiang Bao appears, he is disheveled, but at the funeral of the three great masters, he is rarely dressed, showing his respect for them."
"Another thing worth mentioning is: I have always felt that Jiang Bao is an invisible big BOSS. There is a hot discussion on the Internet about who beat the second boss of the Ax Gang into the oil barrel? First of all, exclude Coolie Qiang, although He admitted that it was him, but Kuiliqiang had no room to take action. Only the position where Jiangbao was standing was the most likely."
"There is actually only one blind man in the world. You will find out if you pay attention to the details."
"When Ah Xing was about to rob the mute girl, the two people's actions were based on Wang Mo's last movie "Fist of Heroes", and the two movies interacted through space."
"..."
These analyzes have amazed many movie fans.
But the real shock is in the next few paragraphs.
"What is particularly worth mentioning is: I wonder if anyone has noticed that none of the characters in "Kung Fu" have their own names. They are all codenames or nicknames. As for the male and female protagonists, they don't even have nicknames. Even if we call the protagonist Ah Xing, it is because of a sentence written at the end of the movie. Starring: Zhong An, who plays Ah Xing. However, the fact is that Ah Xing’s name does not appear at all in the entire drama, and others only call him: Hey, who is that? Maybe it has some special meaning, but I don’t know.”
"In the last scene of the movie, the male and female protagonists all turned back to their childhood. Did you notice the background characters around them? The main characters who appeared in the movie: Charter Woman, Jiang Bao, Fire Cloud Evil God... all appeared on the streets, and they They became ordinary people, living an ordinary life, and it turned out to be a family photo of the characters in "Kung Fu". When you discovered this scene, were you shocked?
However, have we ever thought about it carefully: Why do they all suddenly appear on the street? And they both pretended not to know each other? Not even a simple hello? I thought about it for a long time before I figured out the reason: maybe the entire "Kung Fu" movie is all illusory. They don't exist at all. They are just the fantasy plot of a bullied child. A poor child dreams of becoming a world-famous hero. That’s all. Because of this, the kung fu in "Kung Fu" is so incredible, and the children defeated the big BOSS and saved everyone in their fantasy world. "
"When the movie ends, the dream... wakes up."
After reading this person’s last two paragraphs of analysis.
Fans were really shocked.
They thought about it carefully and found that it was indeed the case.
"Fuck! It's really like that."
“There’s not a single name in the entire movie?”
"The hero and heroine don't even have names, not even nicknames? Oh my god!"
"The point is I didn't notice it at all."
"Isn't it amazing?"
"And the scene at the end is really a family portrait. Is the whole movie really just a child's dream?"
"Oh my god, it's beyond my imagination."
Many people suffer from scalp numbness.
As a result, more people began to analyze the details of the movie.
Unexpectedly, through such an analysis, another important element was discovered.
It's Guo Bin again. Guo Bin is considered a top-notch and smart film critic. After seeing that everyone was analyzing the details of "Kung Fu" and seeing a lot of things, he realized that he had underestimated the movie.
So he entered the cinema again and started watching "Kung Fu" for the second time, the third time...sixty, seventy, eighty and ninety times!
This brush.
Sure enough, the discovery was significant.
So a few days later, Guo Bin released another blockbuster film review: ["Kung Fu" is actually a tragedy]
This title is full of gimmicks.
A movie recognized as China's No. 1 comedy, you actually call it a tragedy? Are you talking nonsense?
However, when everyone read Guo Bin's comments, they all fell silent.
"Although this seems to be a movie that praises kung fu, what it shows is that the strong are useless.
The three great masters had no choice but to make ends meet in Zhulong Village, and they all died miserably in the end.
Heaven and earth are incompatible, even if he is known as the number one killer, he has no choice but to be reduced to singing and making money for the gang.
Stronger than the charterer and charterer, the two of them reached the state of perfection in one society, but their son died tragically on the competition stage. The two were so disheartened that they could only hide their names.
Even the ultimate boss, Fire Cloud Evil God, is just hanging around in a mental hospital.
All the strong people in the film have suffered a bitter pill, so what if they are strong? Even if you reach the peak of strength, you may end up in a mental hospital. "
"However, the most tragic thing is that the entire movie may be just a child's dream. Only in his dream did he solve the bad guys and uphold his own justice. But in real life, he is still just a child. The poor people bullied by the gangsters, just like "The Little Match Girl," can only huddle in a dark corner, secretly strike a match, realize their dream of a world-famous hero in their fantasy, and then die alone..."
These analyzes directly moved the hearts of many people.
"It seems to be true."
"Yes, except for the protagonist, everyone in it seems to have no happy ending."
"The protagonist's ending seems to be the best, but in fact it is the most cruel, because he wakes up from his dream in the end..."
"I was still laughing at first, but I couldn't laugh anymore after reading the movie review."
"..."
Until this moment, netizens were completely conquered by "Kung Fu".
At first, they were just having a blast.
But later they discovered that while they were laughing happily, they had overlooked so many details.
However, when they finally paid attention to the details, they discovered that this comedy was actually a tragedy.
Do you understand this kind of emotional shock?
certainly.
Those who think so deeply are all senior movie fans.
Ordinary viewers, who think so much?
Just be happy!
Isn’t watching a movie just for fun? If you think about it too deeply, it will change.
Therefore, the mainstream media is still full of joy.
Even joy is becoming more and more widespread, because in today's highly developed Internet, many "Kung Fu" memes soon began to become popular on the Internet.
for example:
Chai Qing's voice "Who else?" has long been made into an emoticon. I heard that the number of people using this emoticon alone has exceeded 10 million in Douyin alone.
Even Chai Qing himself was dumbfounded. He never dreamed that just one sentence would make him a famous director all over the Internet. I have to say that this is another kind of nonsensical comedy.
As for the shape of Jiang's half-exposure, as well as every statement, they have also been cropped into various gif pictures.
Even the punch of the peasant woman was widely circulated.
The popularity of the Internet will inevitably make actors' fame skyrocket.
so!
Chai Qing is on fire.
The sauce is on fire.
The peasant woman is on fire.
The three great masters are on fire.
There is no fire left in the world.
Fire Cloud Evil God is on fire.
In the entire "Kung Fu", almost all the actors who appeared on the screen became popular.
Not to mention the two male and female protagonists, Zhong An and Song Xiyue.
According to statistics from industry insiders, in "Kung Fu", even a small gangster who starred in the Ax Gang has transformed from an unknown little person to a number of fans after he revealed his experience as an extra on Douyin. A small internet celebrity worth 100,000 yuan. He even received many invitations to business events, inviting him to the platform.
As for important supporting roles such as Brother Chen and Buck Yazhen, they directly attracted millions of fans.
More than half a month after the movie was released, Buck Yazhen came to a live broadcast of Douyin. The number of people online in the live broadcast room exceeded 100,000 in a short time, which was terrifying.
So cool!
Everyone is hot!
Regarding this situation, everyone's eyes finally focused on Wang Mo.
Because everyone knows that this kind of miracle was created by Wang Mo alone.
It seems that as long as it is a program planned by Wang Mo, whether it is a movie, variety show or other, it is the result of everyone becoming popular.
"Where Are We Going, Dad" is like this.
"The Masked Crossover Singer" is like this.
The same is true now for "Kung Fu".
…
When "Kung Fu" was in all its glory.
On the other side, Canxing Culture was dragged into the abyss by "Magic City Fortress".
After the initial ratings for the movie came out, everyone was just stunned and panicked, but not to the point of despair. After all, a bad movie with low ratings may not necessarily have low box office.
Many bad movies with three or four copies can also be pushed to a box office of more than one billion through marketing.
With a box office of more than 1 billion, it can at least make its money back.
However, they did not expect that what happened next would dash all their hopes.
The most direct thing is the box office: on the second day, the box office dropped to less than 20 million, and on the third day, the box office was only over 9 million.
Then... theater chains cut the movie's schedule to less than 10%, and even popular movie theaters simply removed it from the shelves without even scheduling it.
When the time came to its second week, the single-day box office of "Fortress" had dropped below one million.
The estimated box office given by Maoyan Box Office is fixed at 110 million.
A movie with an investment of more than 300 million yuan ended up with a box office of just over 100 million yuan, and the profit received was only 30 million yuan, which was not even a fraction of the investment.
In other words, basically all the investment of more than 300 million was wasted.
In the Chinese film industry, there has never been a film that suffered such a heavy loss.
If it were just a loss for the movie, Canxing Culture would grit its teeth and endure it, because the company only occupied a part of the investment in the movie, not a full investment.
However……
The subsequent bad effects came.
First of all, it is the director of "Fortress". As a senior director of Canxing Culture, this time he has directly ruined his future. I am afraid that he will never be able to direct movies independently in the future.
Thirdly, due to the disastrous failure of the movie at the box office, several movies produced by Canxing Culture were temporarily withdrawn by investors, resulting in losses of hundreds of millions. It may even cause the collapse of the Canxing Culture Film and Television Department.
Third, the popularity of top celebrity Lin Yi-hyun has plummeted, and he was even named and criticized by the authorities. If nothing else, Lin Yixuan will fall into the mortal world in a short time, and his top-notch reputation will no longer exist.
These three influences are the most fatal blow to Canxing Culture. Therefore, it is no surprise that the stock price of Canxing Culture ushered in a big crash. During the period when the movie was released, the stock market had evaporated by more than 40%, and the group's market value was almost halved.
People in the industry trembled when they saw it.
No one expected that a movie would drag a giant like Canxing Culture into the abyss.
If this situation continues, Canxing Culture, not to mention competing with Yunhai Media for the top spot in entertainment companies, may not even be able to compete with Qiming Entertainment, and will be reduced to a second- or third-tier small entertainment company.
One movie brought down a company.
But at this time.
suddenly!
A shocking news came out: Wang Mo sold the movie "Fortress" to Canxing Culture!
moment.
The whole network was in an uproar. (End of chapter)
