China Entertainment King of Science Fiction

Chapter 322 Adding insult to injury

"...I didn't blink for a second from beginning to end. If I get a perfect score out of ten, I would give it a thousand points! I unilaterally declare that "Your Name" has been added to the top five of my favorite movies.

After I watched the trailer for this movie, I thought it was a simple story about two people exchanging bodies in a dream and experiencing each other's lives, but one is in a big city and the other is in a remote town. They are too far apart, and then

The story of constantly looking for each other and finally meeting each other.

To be honest, even this plot is very novel and makes people very interested to look forward to it.

But in fact, the plot of "Your Name" is much more complicated and three-dimensional than this!

I don’t want to spoil too much. I can only say that it is the style of DreamWorks as always, with a three-dimensional narrative that is unexpected and gripping. Moreover, “Your Name” captures people’s hearts in a progressive way, just like peeling an onion.

The closer you get to its core, the more tears will flow from your eyes.

And the pictures are really beautiful! Every scene is a feast for the eyes. After so many years of wandering in the city, this is the first time I found that the city is so beautiful. The town where the heroine is located, the Hakka houses are so shocking.

So beautiful, isn't it?

I had never seen it before. After searching, I found out that it is an intangible cultural heritage of our country and one of the symbols of Hakka culture...

The director of this movie is Wu Han, the director of "The Legend of the Star", which is known as the light of Chinese comics. Of course, I have not watched "The Legend of the Star". I was not interested in animation at first, but now I have changed my view on animation.

Yes, animation can also tell stories that move adults. There were almost no children in the scene I watched, they were all couples or singles like me.

And after the movie, I saw that everyone was quite shocked. This is definitely one of the most special movie-watching experiences I’ve had. Alas, it’s not good to experience so many climaxes in life at such a young age.”

Lin Yiyi was a little shocked by this post. She had also heard of "Your Name". She knew it was a new film from DreamWorks and had seen the trailer. However, she had never been interested in animation. She even appeared in the industry last year.

The two animations "Battleship" and "Evolution" cannot arouse interest in watching them.

She always feels that animation is too unreal, has no sense of reality, and therefore has no sense of immersion.

Chen Jingxing's fans were angry and dumbfounded, and they all responded with sarcasm: "I laughed, I checked yesterday's daily box office champion again, and found that it was "Gravity". "Gravity" won consecutively

With more than 20 daily titles, you should have made a lot of money, right? Let me see which company’s movie it is from, it turns out to be DreamWorks]

But I saw many replies mentioning how sweet "Your Name" is and how shocking and touching the love story is. Isn't this what she wants?

Moreover, the works of DreamWorks usually have very high-quality plots, and they will not make her complain while watching them like she does in many contemporary puppet shows, which may cause drama from time to time.

And those netizens who disliked Chen Jingxing and DreamWorks themselves began to show up.

"Chen Jingxing immersed himself in filming in Western Xinjiang and responded silently to the box office failure."

But when this fact really emerged, the media and many people could not help but be shocked and excited.

Many movies were released at the same time during the Chinese Valentine's Day period, but they did not push "Gravity" down from the top spot. Even though "Gravity", which had been released for more than half a month, was showing obvious decline, it was still able to overwhelm a number of old and new films.

Continue to lead the Sun Crown.

"DreamWorks' arrogant army will be defeated? "Your Name" was abandoned by the audience"

This is why other film companies are gnashing their teeth in resentment. Even China Film Group, which is also the producer of "Gravity", is stunned by the strength of this film.

"Is this the beginning of DreamWorks' Waterloo?"

Although the pre-release film schedule is not favorable and the pre-sales are not ideal, it should be said that anyone who pays attention to and understands the movie box office can predict that the premiere box office of "Your Name" will not be high.

In addition to "Gravity", which is still in theaters, the domestic box office and overseas box office are booming. Both the media and marketing accounts are full of praise and praise. The box office news is eager to be reported every day.

Thanks to the fame of Chen Jingxing and DreamWorks, even a plate of sauerkraut and radish can be sold for the price of a Manchurian banquet.

Obviously, it can be seen from the replies to this post that her ideas are not niche.

[Is it such an exaggeration? I also saw this movie when I bought the ticket yesterday. I swiped past it when I saw it was an animation. Is it really so good? 】

As soon as she thought of it, she did it. Lin Yiyi immediately quit the forum and entered the ticket purchase page, preparing to buy tonight's movie tickets. However, she inevitably felt sad at the last step of booking the tickets... There was no one to accompany her to watch.

Although she is a member of DreamWorks, she has watched most of DreamWorks' works, and admits that the quality of DreamWorks' movies and TV series is very high, but one drawback is that they look too tiring.

Even the release of the second-seeded "Tomb Raider", which had been separated from "Gravity" for more than two weeks, was suppressed by "Gravity".

The sarcasm was aimed at the poor box office figures of "Gravity" and the rare Waterloo of DreamWorks.

Lin Yiyi admitted that she was a little moved. Her only remaining concern was the so-called "three-dimensional narrative" of "Your Name" in the main post.

…

[Old two-dimensional thumbs up, many people are really biased against animation, but I still have to say that "Your Name" is really a masterpiece. The pictures are so beautiful that people can't help but sigh intoxicated. DreamWorks is really single-handedly

Raise the upper limit of domestic animation, whether it is a TV series or a movie]

It is not an exception for viewers like Lin Yiyi who were originally not interested in animation themes to decide to go to the theater to get a glimpse of what is going on. With the debuffs of two-dimensional hand-drawn animation and animation adapted from non-famous IPs, "Your Name" has made a name for itself through word-of-mouth communication.

Bloody road.

For a moment, it felt like DreamWorks was struggling and about to go bankrupt.

But really, this animation is definitely the best love movie in recent years. I think it is even better than "Mirage". It was so sweet that I cried and laughed at the same time, and now my emotions have not calmed down...]

In fact, in terms of exposure, "Your Name" is not low. Perhaps because of the huge box office contrast, many media and moviegoers are paying close attention to this animated film.

[The main reason is that the two-dimensional animation themes are not to the taste of most passers-by, and the realistic love themes are not pleasing to animation fans. Yesterday, the animation team next door posted a hot post about when DreamWorks will produce the theatrical version of "The Legend of the Star God"

Well, even if it is a theatrical version of "Battleship", no one cares about "Your Name"...

Starting from last year's "Source Code", DreamWorks' movies have been basically synonymous with box office miracles. Even small and medium-cost productions like "Mirage" have grossed over 1 billion in box office.

It gives people the feeling that DreamWorks is always successful, and there is no movie that the audience does not like. Not only does it have a high reputation, but it also has a higher box office than its reputation.

This all-conquering image naturally had a backlash after the "box office failure" of "Your Name".

In this way, with the joint efforts of the media, passers-by, fans and Sunshine, the surprise and gloating about "Your Name"'s box office failure was transferred to DreamWorks.

Not to mention that other film producers, who were out of breath under the pressure of "Gravity", also added fuel to the fire.

[The review by the original poster was great, and it was really similar to my experience of watching the movie. When I was watching, a couple next to me complained, "Why is this a cartoon?" after the movie started.

Are you angry? What happened to the animation? The animation is too much for you? After seeing the result, I was no longer angry. I felt sorry for them. It is their loss not to be able to see such a movie!]

"What impact will the box office failure of "Your Name" have on Chen Jingxing?"

[Dingding, after watching it, I was excited to see what everyone thought of it, but what happened? I saw Wu Tingxuan and Lu Feifei taking over the screen, praising their improvement in acting skills, and showing off their annoying performances.

Yes, DreamWorks is so unorganized?]

[DreamWorks is about to collapse. "Gravity" is a dismal box office. Please take pity on me and go to the cinema to support me.]

This is not to say that the media has a grudge against DreamWorks, but it is the inevitable result of attracting traffic. DreamWorks' "stumbling" itself is a hot topic.

“The first movie failed at the box office, casting a shadow on DreamWorks’ IPO plan.”

[The box office of "Gravity" is now only 2.9 billion? No wonder DreamWorks is going bankrupt]

In addition to DreamWorks fans and those who liked the movie after watching "Your Name", the people who eat melons are of course happy to watch the joke. "The strong are defeated" has always been a favorite topic among people.

Of course, if you are full of envy, jealousy and hatred, you will take advantage of the failure of "Your Name" to take revenge and complain. If you miss this village, it will be difficult to wait for the next store.

[What! This movie is from DreamWorks? I didn’t even notice...]

It's just brain-burning. Even movies that are not brain-burning look tiring, consuming emotions and brain cells. As an ordinary girl, Lin Yiyi still has some vulgar needs, such as sweet dramas that don't use brain.

"The reporter interviewed Chen Jingxing on the phone. Chen Jingxing responded that he had no comment and then hung up."

Although the producers of most summer movies had predicted that "Gravity" would be the number one seed in the summer and would definitely perform well, they never expected it to be so strong.

The counterattack of DreamWorks supporters is also focused on the fact that this setback for DreamWorks is nothing at all. They even use the brilliant results of "Gravity" at home and abroad as a counterattack weapon. Apparently they also feel that "Your Name" may not have a box office success.

There is room for saving.

In this way, the reputation of "Your Name" itself has been overshadowed by the hot topic. It is obvious that in the eyes of the media, the news value of the box office failure of DreamWorks' new film is more important than whether "Your Name" is good or not.

Besides, are there any DreamWorks works that have bad reviews? The reputation of "Your Name" is a bit "same". DreamWorks movies that are all excellent have desensitized the media and netizens. Making big news is better than being the same.

The touted DreamWorks works have more traffic.

However, the word-of-mouth spread of "Your Name" is slowly fermenting under this round of Internet topics. When Chen Jingxing's fans, opponents and the media came to their senses, they discovered that this domestic animated film has been quietly being talked about.

Work hard and you will be able to amaze everyone when we meet again.
