258: C258 A Lousy Movie Can also Create a Record

C258 A Lousy Movie Can also Create a Record

The Beijing Grand Theater, the premiere of the movie Journey to the West.

Lee Lingwei had been paying attention to the expressions on the faces of the audience. If there was anything that the audience was not satisfied with, he would immediately escape from the back door, not giving the audience a chance to surround him and say that he was investing in a lousy movie.

Unfortunately, what made him regret was that after he waited for a long time, the audience all quietly watched the movie. There was not even a person who went to the toilet.

In the room, he could hear one or two audience members laughing loudly, amused by the plot of the movie.

"F * ck, you can laugh in such an ordinary movie? Is the audience asking for such a low price? " Lee Lingwei secretly shook his head, feeling sad for the fans of China.

More than half of the movie had been released, and the story's average level had dropped from the beginning to a negative level.

As the investor of this movie, although Lee Lingwei did not want to admit it, he watched it all the way. What he had to face was that this was a very ordinary movie.

It had the same confusing plot as "A Blood Case caused by a Mantou," the same PowerPoint style of "Minute Times," and the core idea of "Jasmine Blossoms.

Basically, with Lee Lingwei's level of appreciation, no matter how shameless he was, he could only give "Journey to the West" five points at most.

If it wasn't for the fact that the actors were putting in a lot of effort in their performance, he would have given "Journey to the West" five points at most. Lee Lingwei really wanted to rush in front of the director and slap him hard. Tell him that I invested so much money into you, and you created such a freak for me?

"Forget it. If it's a bad movie, then it's a bad movie. Before I invested in it, I already expected this result..." Lee Lingwei sighed helplessly.

In today's Huaxia movies, nine out of ten movies were lousy. All the directors and filmmakers worked together to cheat their fans.

The so-called fan movies were just to make fans pay for the lousy movies, right?

Even a lousy movie like "Microera" had box office sales. Could it be that "Journey to the West" was not even comparable to "Microera?

Lee Lingwei shook his head and decided not to think about these annoying things.

"What? Do you think the movie is not good?" Yang Annqi, who was beside him, saw Lee Lingwei's pained expression. Her beautiful eyes moved and she understood what Lee Lingwei was thinking.

"Of course." Lee Lingwei did not want to hide it from Yang Annqi at all. He said frankly, "If it was not for my publicity and screenings being done well. With Director Chen Chen's skills, I'm afraid we will have to pay a heavy price this time... "

The investment cost of 250 million, excluding tax and dividends, required at least 600 million to recover the capital.

If Lee Lingwei hadn't used the Lucky Talisman, he really wouldn't have dared to imagine how things would have turned out.

"Maybe now, a lot of people are talking about Journey to the West on the Internet."

Lee Lingwei thought to himself. He didn't know that Journey to the West had a good reputation on the Internet. Surprisingly, it didn't have any bad comments. For the first time ever, it had a positive review.

Yang Annqi also turned on her phone. She slightly searched the comments of "Journey to the West" and handed them to Lee Lingwei.

Eh?

Looking at the score that appeared on the petal-petal-petaled webpage, that number was too dazzling. Li Ling simply did not dare to look at it...

"9.5 points?"

Lee Lingwei's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

As a gathering place for the young artists of Huaxia, the comments of the netizens on Beancurd Online had always been negative comments about commercial films and domestic movies.

Only the super literary blockbuster that Holly lived in had the qualifications to get 9. A high score of 5 points!

"Journey to the West to Eliminate the Demons" undoubtedly created a record, a record with the highest score in a national production film...

You have to know, 9. 5 points were the points for the godly film "Shawshank's Redemption" and "Godfather.

Now that Journey to the West had reached this point, it was undoubtedly telling the world that "Journey to the West" had reached Shawshank's and Godfather's standards...

"Are you kidding me? Was the bean petal network hacked by hackers?"

Lee Lingwei knew that if it wasn't for the protection talisman of luck, this movie would have been badly criticized by others. It was a spectacular scene that was similar to when "micro-era" was created in a group.

Yang Annqi looked at the disbelief on Lee Lingwei's face and the corners of her mouth lightly smiled. She stretched out a green finger and lightly poked Lee Lingwei's forehead. Then she teased in his ear, "Look, the response to this movie is not bad. There was not a single person in the audience who went to the toilet. It can be seen that the plot of this movie is tight, it's an excellent movie..."

"Excellent, indeed excellent..."

Lee Lingwei helplessly smiled bitterly and did not dare to tell Yang Annqi the truth. No one would believe that there was such a thing as a Lucky Talisman in the world.

"Lao Keng, is this all because of the Lucky Talisman?" Lee Lingwei was so shocked by the fascinating performance of the people around him that he couldn't speak. He quietly asked Lao Keng in his heart.

"Of course." Lao Keng was satisfied. "The Lucky Talisman is the most mysterious prize in the super system. Its power is more than that..."

"Although its duration is very short, the effect is continuous. This movie of yours... "Even if it is terrible to the point of angering both the gods and the people, The box office sales would also rise, causing people's jaws to drop... Moreover, the quality of this movie was still considered to be alive in Z Country. At least, it was a hundred times better than "Minute Times" and "Jasmine Blossoms. I dare say, This movie will break a huge record... "

"Alright." Lee Lingwei nodded and believed Lao Keng's words.

Time slowly passed, and the movie gradually came to an end. At the last moment, Sun Wukong once again beat up demons and devils, and protected the peace of the Three Realms. The ending of the movie was played, and the lights in the theater were lit up again. All the audience quietly stood up, and the movie ended.

Surprisingly, all the audience unanimously did not say that the movie was bad. Instead, they walked in groups and discussed the plot silently.

Lee Lingwei heard the comments from the audience.

"The special effects are not bad. It's about the same as Holly..."

"The production of the movie is quite meticulous. At least it's not an MTV or a PowerPoint."

"The scene is very grand, it's indeed a good movie."

All kinds of excellent reviews hit him. Tears streamed down Lee Lingwei's face. He was completely moved by the audience's low expectations.

"A Blood Case caused by a Mantou" was also born at the wrong time. If it was a few years later, who knew how good the reviews would be...

In this era where the audience was disgusted by rotten movies, any movie with a bit of emotion was enough to make the audience cry.

After the premiere ended, all the audience quietly left.

When the movie ended, it was already past two o'clock in the morning.

Yang Annqi forcefully pulled Lee Lingwei, wanting him to have a small meeting with all the main creators of the movie in the coffee shop outside the big theater to discuss the success and loss of the movie.

Of course, Lee Lingwei saw that Director Chen Chen looked pleased with himself and knew that he was definitely very satisfied with his work, as if he had already received an Oscar.

In the coffee shop, the main creators of "Journey to the West" surrounded the table, their faces filled with excitement.

The movie's box office box office at midnight had already been released. According to the calculations of the professional box office website, the nationwide box office box office had reached as high as 50 million in just one premiere at 12 o'clock.

This had already set the record for the premiere...

And today's online pre-sale tickets, under the crazy virus propaganda of the super system and group purchase subsidies, had already exceeded 100 million.

In other words, today, the box office sales of Journey to the West had quietly reached 150 million.

If it was a little more awesome tomorrow, perhaps the box office record might be able to expand and directly surpass the record of 400 million box office sales on the first day of "Speed and Passion.

Regarding this result, everyone present was a little stunned. The sudden happiness was like a big apple, directly smashing everyone present into a daze.

Apart from Lee Lingwei, whether it was the director, the scriptwriter, or even Yang Annqi, all of them had faint excitement on their faces. They were sincerely excited about the big sale and good reputation of this film.2

A few screenwriters and directors would occasionally browse through the comments of the audience on Weibo.

Generally speaking, after the premiere ended, the comments and reputation of the first batch of audience members were extremely important. Basically, they could determine the future direction of a film.

A better movie, Even if the box office of the premiere wasn't high, under the fermentation of the online reputation, it could reach a heaven-defying number...

For example, the summer movie "Charlotte's Worry" only had a few million box office earnings on the day of the premiere, but after a week of public praise, the box office rose like crazy, making consecutive counterattacks, beating up a bunch of lousy films like "Jasmine Flower Blossoms," and finally breaking through the box office of a billion. It could be said to be a counter-attack with a small cost!

As for some lousy films, even if the box office earnings were high on the first day and the public reputation was not good, it would only take two days for the money in the circle to quietly sink into the water. It would not be able to stir up any more waves.

"micro-era" was one of the classic examples.

Therefore, after the premiere ended, the most important thing for the director's team was to pay attention to their reputation.

Only the public's reputation could decide how long a movie could last and how long it could last...

However, after Director Chen Chen used his phone to browse through Weibo, he let out a long sigh of relief when he saw the comments of the famous movie reviewers on Weibo.

Among all the film reviewers on Weibo, there was only one word on "Journey to the West to Eliminate Demons": Good!

What special effects were comparable to Holly's life, the plot was comparable to Shawshank's, and even his feelings were deeper than Schindler's name list. A series of domestic conscience, the name of the super blockbuster all hung on the head of Journey to the West.

There were even many famous Weibo Vs who pointed out that "Journey to the West" would become the biggest movie in the period when "Demon Exercise" and a few other movies were suddenly deleted. It would steadily exceed the box office of 2 billion, and even break the box office record of a movie in Mandarin...

All sorts of flowers and applause were sent over through the Internet like it was free of charge. It was as if "Journey to the West" had become the best movie in the domestic history overnight, and the director, Chen Chen, had suddenly made a comeback and beat up the directors of the same era, such as Zhang Yi-Mao. They were about to spread rumors about the international community, including the three major European awards, and aim for an Oscar.

Without a doubt, "Journey to the West" had already achieved great success. Whether it was box office sales, public praise, or even awards.

Lee Lingwei was certain that "Journey to the West" would at least be able to make some progress in the movie awards next year and reach a new peak. As the investor of this movie, Beautiful Family Mall would gain quite a bit of reputation in this circle.

Hu.

Lee Lingwei let out a long breath. At this moment, he was sure that his company had finally taken the first step in this circle.

It was not to the extent that he would be kicked out of this circle before he even entered the circle.

As an outsider, the tentacles of the Beautiful Family Mall had gradually grown and entered the circle.

If it was the same in the retail industry, even if it was just the beginning, in front of Lee Lingwei, the image of the Beautiful Family Mall becoming the future media and cultural empire had already appeared!
