Chapter 280 Word of Mouth and Box Office

It's good to be alive!

This is probably the first reaction of many fans after watching "Struggle".

Zhou Yang looks like a lunatic.

But he has to admit his dedication to movies and his awe of life, which is awe-inspiring.

This is the second feeling of fans after watching "Struggle".

In the bustling aisle of the theater, a new batch of audiences came out of the theater.

or trance, or red eyes, or silent aphasia, or excitement.

Depression, claustrophobia, suffocation, despair…

In just two hours, their emotions continued to ebb and flow with the movie, experiencing the struggle between life and death, and a heart almost reached their throats.

They thought they were in that small space for a while, and they cried out nervously.

Django kept watching the audience coming out, not even letting go of every expression on their faces.

He felt a little stunned and strongly unwilling, which made him extremely eager to see disappointment in these audience expressions, and even more eager to see someone scolding the movie.

but…

The longer he observed, the more aggrieved he felt deep inside.

This is a movie that took less than a week to shoot and was hyped up by sensational hype!

Why?

Why is this happening?

Are these people hypnotized?

this movie…

Django's mood is complicated, both unbelievable and somewhat contradictory, and beyond that, he is filled with a sense of curiosity that even he can't express.

But his inner pride did not allow him to bow his head, let alone enter the screening room to see what kind of movie "Struggle" was and what kind of magic it had.

Isn't this a disguised admission that he is not as good as Zhou Yang, a scumbag who hasn't even taken a day of formal film lessons?

11:30 noon.

Lunch time has come, which is the unpopular time slot.

However, the screening room of "Struggling" was still overcrowded, and even many fans in the crowd were spoiling the content of the movie "Struggling".

Django, who was leaving the Wanda VIP room to go back, stopped subconsciously after listening to these discussions.

"This movie may be consecrated!"

"real or fake?"

"Don't believe it, as long as you enter the theater and watch it for five minutes, you will realize that there is nothing in what I said, even a hint of exaggeration..."

"Yes, I think so too. When watching this movie, I shrank my body the whole time, and even touched my head uncontrollably, for fear that some sand would fall on my head..."

“…”

After listening to it for a while, Django finally pushed down his hat slightly and left the auditorium silently. His mixed emotions became stronger and stronger.

When he went back, after eating something random, he immediately got on the computer and looked at the evaluation of "Struggling" on the Internet.

The evaluation that he once paid to hire a navy has long been suppressed by all praises, and even Dai Li, who was regarded as his own by Django, suddenly turned against the water in his Weibo.

["Struggling" is the best documentary film I've seen over the years. There is no one, two people and a coffin, plus a few small props such as mobile phones and lighters. The space for moving the mirror is extremely limited. It doesn't feel boring and dull at all, but it makes people deeply immersed in it. The tension runs from five minutes after the movie starts to the last second of the movie. I don't know how many times I took a deep breath during the whole process, reminding myself that I was watching the movie, not being caught. Buried in the coffin, but the fingers holding the handle of the chair are constantly shaking, perhaps, it is an instinct...]

Dai Li is very authoritative in the hearts of fans.

Just an hour after he posted on Weibo, there were about a thousand comments, and many fans were attracted by the content written by Dai Li, but more crowded together, asking how to grab movie tickets through various channels of.

Django's face became very ugly after reading Dai Li's Weibo, and then he saw that a friend's dynamic notification appeared on Weibo.

Django subconsciously clicked in, just in time to see Zhou Yilin's Weibo.

[Zhou Yang is a talented director. He was born to eat this kind of food. Compared with some academic directors, his films are a bit more creative. There is no doubt that "Struggling" is quite creative. Li, it can even be said to be a film that opened up a new era of documentary films. He used the ultimate simple lens to tell everyone that a film can be shot with a camera, but it can also be shot with a mobile phone video. After the coffin collapses That vague plot was recorded by the mobile phones on the side of the coffin. Under certain circumstances, this vagueness turned into a vivid and vivid presentation...]

Zhou Yilin's Weibo is amazed.

is appreciative between the lines.

After watching it, Django felt that his face was hot, and he even thought that Zhou Yilin had something to say!

Especially the words "some academic directors" in Zhou Yilin's Weibo made Django feel very dazzling, as if slapped him hard.

Angry, unwilling, aggrieved, jealous…

Countless emotions surged in Django's heart.

Eventually, these surges of emotions turned into intense curiosity.

"I still, go and see?"

"Do not!"

"Don't go!"

I don't know how long it took before he sat on the chair and stared at the ceiling with scattered eyes, as if his strength was completely drained.

The feeling of frustration lingered in his heart, but he couldn't get rid of it for a long time.

………………

Before the release of "Struggling", there was a lot of questioning and scolding on the Internet.

Many professionals are saying that Zhou Yang was lucky enough to make a few movies and started to float, and even directly cut the fans as leeks!

A week's worth of junk, the packaging and hype gimmicks dare to premiere in major theaters. Isn't this a misappropriation of money?

Although there are many bad films in the Chinese film industry, they will pack them well. The main creative team and the distribution unit will buy various hot searches to praise their films, saying how hard they are making films, and how old actors like this script. , how serious everyone is...

Which one like Zhou Yang announces his new movie so grandly, so it takes only one week to shoot?

Isn't this putting the label of a bad movie on your face?

However, after the end of the first premiere, the wind reviews of the entire "Struggling" began to reverse polarities.

Not only the polarities are reversed, but what is even rarer is that many well-known film critics with poisonous tongues gave the film extremely high reviews, and even gave it a five-star recommendation on Douban.

Five hours after the release…

Countless voices of questioning and scolding were drowned out by praise. The only film critics who were just bad money were scolding very firmly, but the comments were full of scolding. In just a few hours, the fans who had accumulated hard work were They were all stripped down, and in the end, they had to delete the comment about the bad money, and began to brag about it shamelessly, but because they had not seen the movie, they praised the **** to the point of being wrong. , but more people scolded people, and more people got rid of fans.

No one could have imagined that in just a few hours, their film review V number was completely trashed.

The eyes of all fans are sharp...

The moment Zhou Yang stabbed his arm with a knife, they knew that the movie had already exploded and China did not know how many so-called "big production" movies.

Wanda Cinema.

No one could have imagined that this small-budget movie could burst out with such a large amount of energy.

How many pre-sale tickets were sold, how many were sold, and they were sold out in just one hour.

Wang Sikai, the son of Wanda Group, fell into deep thought after seeing the "Online Ticket Grabbing Strategy" on Weibo.

He was very optimistic about Zhou Yang before!

He felt that with the current reputation of Zhou Yang in the circle, no matter what movie you make, as long as you don't mess around, the movie will never flutter.

However, the ultra-low-cost film "Struggling" really exceeded his expectations!

He never imagined that this movie could be so popular.

"Such a movie can make this kind of word of mouth!"

"This is a **** geek!"

Wang Sikai took a look at Douban, the rating was as high as 8.9, and more than 2,000 people had already commented. After more than 20,000 people wanted to watch it, he sighed speechlessly.

He watched the movie go from 5.2 points before its initial release to 8.9 points!

At this moment, he received a call.

The voice on the phone made his expression very exciting.

"You mean, some movie fans, under the guise of watching other movies, sneaked into the screening room of "Struggle" after watching half of the movie without anyone noticing? How much box office did it lose?"

"These management dogs just eat shit?"

After answering the phone, he looked at a picture that was exposed on the Internet…

Good guy!

An ordinary screening hall was crowded with spectators watching the excitement, and the aisles were crowded.

…………

"Huh? Want to reduce my "Mechanic" layout?"

"Is this what the publisher means, or is it the cinema?"

"What do you mean by theater?"

"Damn it! After the reduction, isn't it the same as "Jinyiwei"!"

Early morning of March 25th.

Django paced back and forth in the office.

He received a call, and his already irritable mood was instantly ignited.

Although he knew that "Mechanical Man" was going downhill, and even half the attendance in the screening room was less than half, but Django could not accept that his film schedule was given up to "Struggling".

This is a humiliation to him! Naked humiliation!

The phone hung up, and before he could find someone to discuss, there was a knock at the door.

"It's out, it's out! The box office is out!"

He saw the assistant hurried in, with a very ugly expression on his face.

"How many!"

"Our "Mechanic" seven million..."

"what?"

"Seven million!"

"What about "Jinyiwei"?"

""Jinyiwei" six million..."

"What about "Struggle"?"

“…”
