Cross the road of the director

First day of release.

"Legend of Egypt 3: Desperate Escape" ranked first in the number of films, with an absolute advantage, won the box office of 1000 million, leading the entire 600st place; the second place was Mo Feiyang's "The Lancet", which won the 900th place. Lu Jue's "The Ninth Letter" won the box office of 400 million, ranking third; followed by veteran director Chen Lei's "That Summer" with [-] million box office...

On this day, imported special effects blockbusters stand at the top of other films of the same period, and stand out from the crowd.At the same time, it only got a low score of 5.5 and a bad reputation in the tomato community.Obviously, "Legend of Egypt 3" did not satisfy fans.

The second day of the show.

Affected by word of mouth, the box office of "Legend of Egypt 3" plummeted to 500 million; On the other hand, it raked in 100 million at the box office, ranking second with a slight advantage; "That Summer" followed suit, and also won 600 million at the box office...

On this day, "Legend of Egypt 3" is still the box office champion, but the gap between the three parties is no longer a problem, and it may be overtaken at any time.

At the same time, its fans were divided by "The Ninth Letter" and "That Summer", which gave Lu Jue a push and allowed him to climb to the second place smoothly.

The third day of the show.

"Legend of Egypt 3" made persistent efforts, and the box office plunged directly, only winning 800 million at the box office; The box office of 800 million won the box office champion of the day...

This day's box office results directly stunned the filmmakers, and even left fans outside.

They didn't understand why "The Ninth Letter" was able to counterattack, and they didn't understand why the box office of "Legend of Egypt 3" dropped so fast.

Of course, the most incomprehensible thing is the "steadiness" of "The Last Way".

As a powerful director who has attracted much attention, why can't Mo Feiyang's "Doomsman" recruit some people from "Legend of Egypt 3"?Instead, it made people all flow to Lu Jue's "Ninth Letter"?

Annoying.

But no matter how confusing it is, it can't stop the theater's desire to make money.

In order to take care of the fans and make better money, they are adjusting the schedule of each movie every day.On the fourth day, "The Ninth Letter" overwhelmed the same period, and got 21.3% of the scheduled films, becoming the film with the largest number of scheduled films.

When he heard the news, Wei Yuan excitedly bought a huge cake and brought it back to the company to celebrate.Even Chen Yipeng, who has always been prudent, let go of his cold face and had fun with everyone in the studio.

Looking at Chen Yipeng's stupid appearance, Wei Yuan moved closer to his cousin, and said with a snicker, "It's the first time I've seen Brother Chen like this, hahaha, it's so interesting."

Lu Jue said: "He's under a lot of pressure these days, and winning the single-day box office champion this time can also reassure him."

Wei Yuandao: "Indeed, during the promotional period, Brother Chen really worked his ass off." After a pause, "Brother, why do you think we counterattacked? We still suppressed "Legend of Egypt 3" and Mo Feiyang. Ah, this It's like a dream."

Lu Jue: "It's not a dream, we did it."

Hearing this, Wei Yuan suddenly hugged Lu Jue and cried loudly.Within 2 minutes, he changed his appearance again, showing the same smirk as Chen Yipeng.He patted his brother on the shoulder, nodded in relief, and then with a foolish smile, he ran over to find other people to laugh and play.

As soon as Lu Jue saw this, he knew that Wei Yuan was also drunk.

He sighed secretly, took out his mobile phone, and began to browse the public opinion and feedback on the Internet.In fact, he went to see other people's movies on the first day of its release, and guessed that the box office of "Legend of Egypt 3" was likely to drop, but he didn't expect him to drop so fast.

It seems that in this world, while people rely on imported blockbusters, they also have higher requirements.

Tomato Community, Movie Zone.

In this place where everyone can rate and discuss movies, there is a group of people who are interested in movies.Some of these people are more professional, and they like to think deeply when watching movies, analyzing each shot and the director's intention; there are also people who simply like movies, and movies are a hobby or a pastime, and they are not interested in the deep meaning.

As a sequel movie, "Legend of Egypt 3" was introduced half a year ago, and the expectations of netizens are also the highest in the past half a year, and the comments are the most enthusiastic.

But now...

"What kind of rubbish is "Legend of Egypt 3"?"

"One thing to say, the special effects of "Legend of Egypt 3" are really good, but this is also his only advantage."

"Oh, the producer is insane, the third part has to change directors and screenwriters. Now it's all right, the plot is a mess, the male protagonist's resolute character design all collapsed, the original female protagonist went offline directly, and a new mistress came along. The sticky relationship line between a scumbag man and a woman makes me upset, so why not concentrate on taking risks?"

"Friendly reminder, "Legend of Egypt 3" is not worth our movie tickets, don't waste that money."

"Am I the only one who is disgusted by the Asian supporting role in it? I know the producer wants to add more elements. It's normal for the protagonist team to have people of other races, but this Asian is shrewd and selfish. He sold his teammates countless times. To be able to lick your face and beg for forgiveness or something, that posture is so ugly. Isn’t this character really a villain? [Sneer.jpg]”

"You are not alone."

"To popularize science, the prototype of this Asian is Mr. Chen, a Chinese archaeologist. You can taste it yourself."

"Ci'ao, it's disgusting."

……

The greater the so-called expectation, the greater the disappointment. "Legend of Egypt 3"'s broken character design, off-track plot and clown Asians all made this sequel disgusted by Chinese audiences.

You must know that during the promotion, the publisher used 'Asians to join the protagonist group' to coax people in China.They tricked people into the movie theater, but they slapped the audience hard to let them know how much the studio looked down on Asians.

Because of this, there is a topic on Twitter about boycotting "Legend of Egypt 3", which is neither hot nor low, but it always appears on the homepage to let everyone know.

This is exactly the reason for the box office diving.

In the Tomato community, "Thelma" got a score of 6.7, and the reaction of fans was relatively flat.

"It's a good movie."

"Mo Dao's consistent style, I have supported it."

"I feel that there is not much difference from the previous work. The rhythm and picture are similar. I am a little disappointed."

"Judging from the pictures of "The Llamorian", it obviously received more investment than the previous one, and the picture is more refined, but the plot is too similar to the previous one. The protagonists of the two works have switched, and there is no sense of disobedience. "

"It's okay to put old wine in a new bottle, but this kind of template application is a bit annoying..."

It is undeniable that Mo Feiyang is an excellent director, otherwise he would not be expected by the industry.

But he seems to be used to the comfort zone, and the new works released in recent years have continued the same style, without any surprises.The same goes for "Thelma."

It's too similar to its predecessor, which is why its box office didn't explode significantly.

Lu Jue's "The Ninth Letter" is different. It is a new work by a newcomer, and it has played a trick with the teaser, which has its own attention.

After the first day, these audiences who were coaxed into the movie theater generally liked the daily life of the movie, and were also sad for the final ending.

In the movie, apart from the two protagonists, the other supporting characters have distinct personalities and are extremely interesting.The whole work describes the life of medical students in detail.

Because of studying medicine, whenever a small problem occurs on the body, I can't help but suspect serious illness and be suspicious; because of studying medicine, the jokes among classmates also carry professional terms; The white mouse and the little white rabbit start...

From the trembling at the beginning, to the skillful hands-on later.

From the weak white rabbit to the cold-faced tiger behind.

Every once in a while, there will be some cold humor in the movie, and the laughter will be dense, making the audience smile knowingly from time to time.

Among them, the funniest thing was the sudden power outage in the teaching building during the anatomy class.The students in the classroom were taken aback, and Jiang Yang even jumped on Li Feihang subconsciously.

Facing the pale and lifeless teacher in the classroom, some of them vomited, some trembled, and some prayed to God and Buddha with prayer beads...

Accompanied by the sound of a classmate chanting sutras, the students did not run away, but continued to study one by one with their mobile phones and flashlights.

In the trailer, the scene of gesturing to people with a sharp weapon is here, but Lu Jue subtracted all the other students around him with software.

These pictures are too real, as if they are happening around them.Therefore, even if everyone knows it is a sad story, they are still willing to go to the cinema to watch "The Ninth Letter".

The results of the three-day counterattack are too impressive.

As a fan of Lu Jue, Aqi couldn't help but proudly ran to the group to tell everyone the good news.

Maple Leaf: [Punch in and sign in (movie ticket photo)]

Maple Leaf: [When I knew it was a campus movie, I was a little disappointed.But after watching it, I realized that the life of a medical student is so interesting, and I fell in love with it. 】

Lizi: [I like the little fat man, his timid appearance is really funny. 】

Feng Ye: [Wow, the image of the little fat man has changed a lot in the back, he was so handsome when he rescued people from the flood, woo woo woo. 】

Carrot: [I like baldness.The bald man looks like a nerd and has superstitious problems, but when he really encounters superstitious patients, he will still coax them to go to the hospital. 】

Tudoudou: [Punch in and sign in (movie ticket photo)]

Small transparency: [Punch in and sign in (movie ticket photo)]

Chang'an: [Punch in and sign in...]

Somehow, more and more people checked in in the group.

On this day, the once deserted fan group became active again, and many sisters who hadn't appeared for a long time froze to check in.They chatted about movies one by one, just like going back to the past.

Maple Leaf: [@蜜豆豆, my God, haven't you been particularly busy recently?How can I still find time to go to the movies?Sister Doudou, you are too strong. 】

Tudou Dou: [No matter how busy you are, you can always find time to watch a movie.Don't mention me, other sisters who are obsessed with new idols, don't they also go to the theater to support it? 】

Li Zi: [Hahahahaha, no matter how fragrant the wild flowers outside are, the peonies at home will never be forgotten.A Jue's first work, no matter what, I have to go to the theater to support it.Alas, I didn't buy a movie ticket when I watched it for the first time, so I went home and went to the second one. 】

Maple Leaf: [I know you went to the premiere, we are still good sisters if we don't show off. 】

Chestnut: 【Hahahahahahaha...】

Little Transparent: [What?Chestnut went to the premiere?what's the situation? 】

……

Soon, it was exposed that Aqi and Lizi were invited by Lu Jue, which immediately made other people in the group envious and jealous.They were all wailing, saying that they should not climb the wall, that Lu Jue was the one who really loved.

Aqi looked at the constantly refreshed chat records, her eyes were flushed, and the bubble called joy kept popping up in her heart, which made her involuntarily show a smirk.

To be honest, Aqi never expected to be invited by Lu Jue to the premiere.

Lu Jue is a director, not an actor. He didn't need to invite fans to the premiere, but he did it anyway.Obviously, he has always remembered these fans, and never forgot.

Aqi doesn't regret falling in love with Lu Jue, and even rejoices that she fell in love with him early on.

Aqi: [Ah Jue prepared some small gifts for us.During these three days, there will be a lottery in the group, and those who win the lottery can exchange for prizes with movie tickets. 】

Aqi: [The value of each prize is about 100 yuan, I hope everyone will not dislike it. 】

Perhaps in order to repay this kindness, Aqi decided to buy some prizes at her own expense for everyone.

Everyone didn't know her decision, and they all thought it was given by Lu Jue, and they all rejoiced and were extremely happy.Seeing them like this, Aqi couldn't help being happy.

Here, after Xiaobai told Lu Jue about the fan group, Lu Jue transferred a sum of money to Aqi, thanking her for her kindness, and at the same time increasing the value of the prize.

Aqi didn't know, but Lu Jue knew that more than [-]% of the fans went to the theater to support the movie.Even he couldn't help but be shocked by such an approval rate.

Once, he thought that fans would naturally empathize if they liked someone else.

Now, his fans tell him with actions that even if they like other people, they still pay attention to him, like him, and are willing to go to the theater to support him for him.

With such an approach, even Lu Jue lost his temper, and could only be defeated by their wishes. He obediently paid Aqi and asked her to buy some small gifts for everyone.

Han Yi is a medical graduate student of Jiangda University.

Long before the release, he heard that the filming location of "The Ninth Letter" was at Jiang University, and he always wanted to come to the cinema to support him, but his busy life kept him from buying a movie ticket until the fourth day of the release. .

As a medical student in school, this movie feels all too familiar to him.

Especially when he saw that many of the extras in the movie were familiar juniors, the sense of déjà vu was stronger, making him feel like this was a story that actually happened.

Watching the first medical film on campus, Han Yi kept smiling fascinatedly. The whole person was so excited that the smile never stopped.

However, near the end of the story, when he saw the various medical conjectures written on the letter paper, his face changed drastically.

In an instant, he had a sullen face, like a neurotic, his eyes were fixed on the movie screen, wishing he could go through the screen and enter the world of the movie to take a closer look.

Until the end of the movie, Han Yi was reluctant to leave, and even bought another movie ticket for a second time.

After Han Yi finished reading, it was already nine o'clock in the evening.

Looking at the time, he didn't care about other things, hurriedly took a taxi back to school, ran to the next door to the research room, opened the door and shouted: "I know the research direction of ALS."

Without waiting for the others to react, Han Yi, who came back in a panic, patted the table and roared menacingly.

"That movie, the medical speculation in "The Ninth Letter" is what you want to study. Stem cells! Stem cells are the direction that ALS research should go! Let's research in this direction, that's right."

"Damn, who knows how to contact the director? I want to see what is written on the letter paper. There is too little information, which is not conducive to the research of ALS..."

At this moment, looking at Han Yi who was giving a passionate speech, the rest of the lab couldn't help being silent.

The author has something to say: I mentioned before that Lu Jue had selfish intentions in filming this, did you guess it?hahahahahahahaha

It’s also done before twelve o’clock today, hurry up, praise me~ [Rolling]
