My singer girlfriend is super fierce

In the cinema, "Journey to the West: Rebirth of the Demon King" is playing.

Because a mysterious bronze plaque picked up by a country boy revealed the conspiracy of the rebirth of the demon king who was sealed thousands of years ago.

The demon aura that leaked out after the seal of the demon king loosened alarmed the heavenly court, so they sent heavenly soldiers and generals to suppress it.

However, it turned out that the demon queen was secretly performing the resurrection ceremony behind the scenes. The powerful demon queen repelled the heavenly soldiers and generals with the power of the sleeping demon king.

Seeing that the demon king was about to revive and the lives of the people were about to be destroyed, the heavenly court could only look to the Monkey King who had sealed the demon king and now returned to Huaguo Mountain, and sent Erlang Shen to ask for help...

At this time, in the seats of the cinema.

At the beginning of the film, Sun Weiyang was still watching it very seriously. When he saw the two movie emperors Liang Jun and Yin Zhijie on the same screen, he still had a sense of nostalgia of "my youth is back".

For their generation, apart from Fang Long, these two are the most familiar actors.

However, as the plot progressed, Sun Weiyang gradually felt... a little boring.

It's not that the actors didn't act well. The special effects of the movie are not outstanding, but they are also remarkable. In the plot, there is a wonderful fight between the Monkey King played by Liang Jun and Erlang Shen played by Yin Zhijie for nearly 10 minutes.

If it were more than ten years ago, when he was in high school, he might think the movie was very exciting, but now, he is a little drowsy.

In short, people's taste and viewing level will change with age and experience.

Things that moved me when I was young, when I look back in middle age, I often feel that "it's just so-so".

Sun Weiyang's viewing level has changed, but he feels that the plot and routine of "Journey to the West: Rebirth of the Demon King" in front of him still seem to be more than ten years ago, so that he can roughly guess the direction of the plot later.

It was nothing more than that after all the efforts of the Heavenly Court, they still failed to prevent the rebirth of the demon king. At the critical moment, the Monkey King and Erlang Shen finally joined forces and finally defeated the demon king after a hard battle...

Facts also proved that his guess was correct. The plot of the film was almost the same as he expected.

Two hours later, walking out of the screening room, Sun Weiyang actually felt a sense of relief that "it was finally over".

His son Sun Siyuan looked excited. After all, the battle between the Monkey King, Erlang Shen and the demon king was still very exciting and eye-catching.

"Wife, what do you think of this film?" Sun Weiyang asked.

His wife hesitated for a while and said, "It's not bad, but I just feel... a little flat?"

"No surprises."

"Me too." Sun Weiyang nodded, "I was looking forward to it because of the big-name actors such as Liang Jun, Yin Zhijie, and Wei Bing."

"Maybe I had too high expectations. I feel that this movie is... a lot of noise but little action. After watching it, it seems that there is no plot that can leave an impression in my mind."

At this moment, Sun Weiyang noticed that the family of three who had just chosen "Monster Hunt" came out of another screening room. They should have just finished watching it.

Unlike the dullness on his side, the faces of this family were extremely excited, and they seemed to be a little reluctant to watch it.

"Hu Ba~!"

"Mom, take a picture of Huba and me!"

Seeing the little monster on the poster again, the children ran up excitedly and asked for a photo, and the adults took out their phones with a smile...

Not only that, the other audiences with them were similar, and the atmosphere was in sharp contrast with "Journey to the West: Reborn as the Demon King".

Is this "Monster Hunt" so good?

Sun Weiyang was puzzled, and inexplicably felt a little regretful.

Perhaps, I should have chosen "Monster Hunt" just now?

......

On July 3, the single-day box office of various films on the second day of the summer season was released.

The first place was still "Battleship 2", which won 358 million box office.

The second place was "Monster Hunt", with a box office of 233 million. "Journey to the West: Reborn as the Demon King", which was originally in this position, fell to third place with a box office of 212 million.

Originally, the gap between the second and third places was not big, and everyone just thought it was normal.

However, on the third day, the situation suddenly changed.

The top two single-day box office remained unchanged, but "Journey to the West: Reborn as the Demon King" only had a box office of 140 million, falling to fourth place, surpassed by "Operation John Wick".

This situation shocked many people in the industry.

The first 7 days before a movie is released is the day when the box office rises the fastest. In theory, the single-day box office curve will gradually increase first and then slowly fall back.

For a movie like "Journey to the West: Reborn as the Demon King", the single-day box office fell rapidly before reaching the peak.There is a possibility.

——The reputation has collapsed!

Simply put, before the movie is released, the audience's understanding of the movie basically comes from the promotion of the movie, and most people buy movie tickets under such circumstances.

After two or three days, more and more viewers have watched it, and the quality of the movie and its true reputation have gradually been revealed online and reflected in the box office.

And "Journey to the West: Rebirth of the Demon King" is one of the "reputation collapsed".

On the Internet, a film critic published a long article titled [Summary of the experience of watching summer blockbusters].

"I spent three days watching all the summer blockbusters. Here is a summary."

"The most shocking picture is "Battleship 2". Director Pierre said that Chinese science fiction films are 30 years behind. Although I don't agree with this statement like Ye Zhiqiu, I have to say that the other party is indeed at the world's top level in the filming of science fiction blockbusters..."

"The most surprising one is "Monster Hunt". This movie is also the one that made me laugh the most when I watched it. Ye Zhiqiu and Yu Caiwei's first collaboration on the movie screen, unexpectedly tacit understanding, and excellent special effects. I finally understand what Ye Zhiqiu said The reason why the most effort was spent on special effects is that you can tell whether the creative team put in enough effort... and, little Hu Ba is so cute! "

"The most disappointing movie is "Journey to the West: Reborn Demon King". Before writing this paragraph, I was puzzled. How could such a big-name cast make such a movie? The actors' acting skills are good, the special effects are good, and the subject matter is also fine, but when combined, it gives people a very "twisted" feeling. In the end, it can only be attributed to the plot problem..."

This film review caused quite a stir online, especially the part about "Journey to the West: Reborn Demon King".

"I went to see it for the first collaboration between Liang Jun and Yin Zhijie, but I can only say that I wasted a movie ticket and two hours!"

"Don't argue, this is undoubtedly a bad movie!"

"Strange, this movie is obviously good in all aspects, why does it feel not so good when combined?"

"The assembly line-like plot is a mess, an old routine from 20 years ago, and you can guess the ending after watching the beginning."

"How can it not be twisted when various elements are forcibly combined together? The Monkey King and Erlang Shen are both big guys at the level of Golden Immortal, right? In the end, two people with boundless magic power fought for 8 minutes. The movements were very handsome, but the magic power was useless. I even doubted whether this was a martial arts movie. And Wei Bing's "White-haired Witch" queen demon look is beautiful, but it is really a bit out of place..."
