Chapter 442 Two Movies, Both Epoch-Making Works
Huge conference room.
Many people were still laughing and talking just now, with relaxed expressions.
Then at this moment, everyone's expressions instantly became stiff, as if time had stopped at this moment.
No shock.
Not surprised.
There is only confusion, a confusion that makes the entire brain almost blank.
The scene was so quiet that you could almost hear a pin drop.
I don’t know how long it took.
The president suddenly laughed out loud: "9.3 points, the same level as "Kung Fu", not bad, higher than I previously estimated, hehe, hehehe... you are all laughing."
beside.
The assistant finally couldn't help but said: "President, you are wrong. It is not 9.3 points, but 3.9 points. Although the two numbers are the same as in "Kung Fu", the scores are reversed."
"..."
The smile on the president's face solidified and he slowly turned his head.
The assistant saw a ferocious face, with red eyes and veins on his forehead.
Then, I heard the CEO's bone-chilling voice: "I'm not blind. Can't I see the score clearly? Do you need to remind me?"
Although the weather was cold on New Year's Day, the conference room was warm and breezy because of the air conditioning.
However, at this moment, everyone in the conference room felt like they were shivering with cold, from body to soul.
No one spoke.
Everyone didn't even dare to breathe.
Everyone just stared at the scores on the screen, which was a bit absurd.
3.9 points?
are you serious?
Finally, the conference room, which had been silent for a long time, erupted into commotion.
"I do not believe!"
"how could it be possible?"
"Haha, it must be a dream, you slapped me... Cao Nima, did you really slap me?!"
"Are you kidding me internationally? A rating of more than three points?"
"..."
With trembling hands, the CEO slapped himself hard several times, unscrewed the mineral water bottle on his desk, washed his face, and then refreshed the page again.
That’s right.
Still 3.9 points.
"It's a brush. There is no doubt that this score must be a brush."
The president took a few deep breaths and muttered to himself.
After hearing his words, other senior officials quickly agreed.
"Yes, it must have been brushed."
"Someone is trying to mess with us."
"Strict investigation!"
"How could such a low score be possible?"
Hearing these voices, a faint hope seemed to ignite in the president's heart. He looked at the assistant next to him and said something through his teeth: "Go and check if someone has swiped the score. If..."
The words have not yet fallen.
The assistant received a call. He glanced at it and said quickly: "It's the person in charge of Douban.com."
Douban?
The president's eyebrows twitched and he said, "Take it!"
"OK."
The assistant only listened for less than a minute before hanging up the phone with a livid face.
The president frowned: "What did the other party say?"
The assistant said: "He said that our movie was suspected of ticket fraud, and they will deal with it fairly and equitably."
Um?
The president's eyes lit up.
Other executives even burst into cheers.
"Hahaha, it really blew up the screen."
"I just said, how can our movie get a score of 3.9? It's just ridiculous."
"Check! We must dig deep to find out who is framing us."
"Made, our Canxing culture dares to be evil? Do you want your life?"
However, just when the suffocation in everyone's hearts came out.
The assistant's expression became even more ugly, and he signaled everyone to be quiet, and then said bitterly: "Everyone, you have misunderstood. What Douban said is not that others are giving low scores and bad reviews of our movies. It is that we are deliberately trying to get good reviews. , which raised the score of "Magic City Fortress"."
? ? ?
Nani?
Even the CEO has a ridiculous delusion at this moment.
Their "Magic City Fortress" only has a fucking 3.9 rating, and it's still suspected of receiving positive reviews?
I'll go to your uncle.
With this score, do you still deserve good reviews?
A grumpy executive suddenly stood up and said angrily: "Give me the phone number. What bastard on Douban said that? I think he is tired of living."
A movie with a score of 3.9 and good reviews?
Do you want to show some face? !
However, the next second, the scene fell into deathly silence again.
Because the president has enlarged the scoring area, this allows everyone to clearly see the scoring ratio.
Generally speaking, the rating ratio of a movie is very healthy.
For example: "Kung Fu"'s score of 9.3 is composed of 70% five-star ratings, 16% four-star ratings, 8% three-star ratings, and a very small number of one-star and two-star ratings.
But the ratings of "Magic City Fortress" look very strange.
One star accounts for 70%, and five stars also accounts for nearly 20%.
With such a polarizing rating ratio, even ordinary netizens, let alone professionals, can tell at a glance that they have swiped their votes.
But at this moment, many people still have the last glimmer of hope.
What if the one star is brushed?
But after the president scrolled to the comments section, everyone felt despair.
In the comment area, many five-star posts are still appearing.
"Ah! Lin Yixuan is so handsome."
"Brother Yihyun is so handsome."
"No matter what movie my brother acts in, he is always so cool."
"I bought a ticket just to take a look at Brother Yihyun."
"Are you all blind? Lin Yixuan is so cute, why do you give him one star?"
"Report all those who gave one star!"
"..."
Seeing this, the executives of Canxing Culture felt thunderous.
It turns out that what Douban said was right, their 3.9 rating was really achieved. The reason is that many Lin Yi-hyun fans rushed to the movie and frantically gave it five stars.
However, with Douban's professionalism and authority, it simply cannot tolerate these five-star reviews that have nothing to do with movies, otherwise the entire rating system will lose credibility.
Everyone looked at each other.
The little hope that had just been ignited was once again dragged into the abyss.
After a few minutes of silence, the president refreshed the page again.
Douban acted quickly, and all the five-star reviews that had no nutrition were gone.
Without their support, the score of "Magic City Fortress" dropped from 3.9 to 2.6 in an instant!
2.6 points!
3 points or less!
The vision of the president and other senior executives went dark, and they almost vomited blood.
What’s the concept of a movie that can’t even get three points?
A film director once said: Even if a dog is lying motionless on the screen, it will be rated above 3 points.
It's obvious.
This score means that the filming of "Fortress" is worse than that of a dog.
Everyone is numb.
I feel like my soul has been sucked away.
The president rubbed his eyebrows and continued to scroll through the comments.
Without the positive reviews from Lin Yi-hyun's fans, some real comments from fans finally came to their attention.
"Shit! What you filmed is just a piece of shit!"
"Hahaha, laugh me to death, a soldier with long hair?"
"I walked into the cinema with high expectations, but within ten minutes I was disgusted."
“It’s not easy to make a movie that is useless.”
"I want to imitate the Western science fiction plot of saving the world, but it is a dog instead of a tiger."
"With a illogical plot and stiff and awkward performances, this is a very standard bad movie."
"It's a waste of tens of dollars of hard work! Where's the promised sci-fi masterpiece? It turns out that the previous trailer is the pinnacle, and other than that it has no redeeming qualities. It disgusts me to death."
"Rotten! Extremely rotten! Invincible in the universe!"
"I have never seen such a bad movie without any highlights in my life. Today is an eye-opener. It is really bad to the extreme."
"..."
Look at these comments.
Everyone's expressions became numb and dull.
It's over.
It's all over.
…
Yunhai Media.
Yuan Xiong's expression also became numb and dull.
2.6 points?
He imagined countless scoring possibilities for "Fortress", but he never dreamed that the score of this movie could be so outrageously low.
In fact, when Wang Mo asked him to invest in "Magic City Fortress" before, he had an ominous premonition. After all, he has seen many magical places in Wang Mo. It is impossible for this kid to say such things if he does not have some confidence.
But his worst guess was that he just felt that the quality of the movie was not good, but he never expected that it would score 2.6 on Douban.
What is the concept of 2.6 points?
Yuan Xiong checked it and found that this score broke the lowest score for Chinese movies.
It created a new record for low scores for Chinese films.
"My three million..."
Yuan Xiong was about to cry but had no tears. Why couldn't he make one shot?
at the same time.
But he breathed a sigh of relief, because with the ratings of "Fortress", there is a high probability that it will be a hit at the box office. This means that it has basically lost the qualification to compete with "Kung Fu" at the box office.
Two things are intertwined.
Yuan Xiong was happy and sad at the same time.
…
When the executives of Canxing Culture fell from the clouds into the abyss.
When Yuan Xiong was in pain and happy.
But Chen Yixuan felt as if she had been forcibly fed shit. She originally watched "Fortress" with the enthusiasm stirred up by "Kung Fu", hoping to continue her movie addiction.
But she didn't expect that in just a few minutes, she would be so sick that she couldn't stand it anymore.
"How could it be so bad?"
She almost doubted life.
It feels like eating lobster and shark fins one second, and drinking fecal water from the sewer the next.
"Walk!"
Chen Yixuan couldn't bear it anymore and dragged Zhou Zimo to escape from the sewer.
never mind.
I'd better watch "Kung Fu" again and do gastric lavage.
However, she found that she could not buy tickets.
All full!
There were obviously many empty seats before.
At this time, Zhou Zimo next to him suddenly realized. He finally knew why the person he asked before said the word "history".
At that time, he thought the other person was talking about "epic movies", but now he realized that the other person was talking about "shit".
Shit epic.
That’s really shit!
I really have a funny brain, I have to make up for it.
At the same time, he also understood why after the last premiere of "Fortress", the audience who came out had solemn faces. He originally thought that these people were touched by the plot, but now it seems that this is not the case at all, but they are all disgusted and speechless.
"What a sin!"
The two of them felt like they were being cheated.
Who is happy after spending more than a hundred yuan and eating a piece of shit?
Zhou Zimo said angrily: "This is money-making! A naked money-making! This is deceiving movie fans! Even if it is half as good as "Kung Fu", I won't be so angry. No, I want to expose this shameless behavior! I’m so angry! You said it’s the first work of Chinese science fiction, bah!”
Chen Yixuan also said fiercely: "Yes! Exposed!"
But the two of them didn’t know.
At this moment, there has already been a huge wave on the Internet.
One is: the word-of-mouth explosion of "Kung Fu".
[Wang Mo’s new movie “Kung Fu” has explosive ratings]
["Kung Fu" scored 9.3 on Douban, creating another miracle]
[Wang Mo once again took Kung Fu movies to new heights]
【The legend reappears! "Kung Fu" has a reputation as good as "Fist of Heroes"]
[Brand-new nonsensical comedy, detonating theaters]
[Who said kung fu movies can’t break through again? Wang Mo’s “Kung Fu” gives you the answer]
[Blockbuster movie in Chinese history]
All kinds of news swept across the Internet like an autumn wind, shocking netizens so much that their eyes almost bulged out.
"Wang Mo created another miracle?"
"Isn't it? "Kung Fu" has really reached a new level?"
"Didn't the news say before that this movie will probably not work?"
"Isn't there a marketing account saying that Wang Mo is playing with fire?"
Some people even asked on major social platforms.
"People who have seen it, please comment. Is it really good?"
"'Kung Fu' is really as good as the news says? Isn't it just a marketing advertisement?"
moment.
Countless movie fans came out.
"It's so good that it will explode. I highly recommend you to go see it. Remember: don't buy popcorn and Coke."
"From front to back, my whole body was numb with shock, and I almost dislocated my jaw from laughing."
"If you don't like it, come hit me. I would like to call "Kung Fu" the number one comedy in China!"
"It's no exaggeration: it's a new kind of comedy like you've never seen before."
"To be honest, if you can take your eyes away for even a second, I'd say you're awesome."
"I watched the whole scene while kneeling, what do you think?"
"..."
The evaluation of tap water is the most precious and reliable.
The overall explosion of word-of-mouth for "Kung Fu" caught the entire industry off guard.
Even many people were shocked again.
Because this kind of praise is almost overwhelming, even far exceeding the original level of "Fist of Heroes".
Could it be said that "Kung Fu" is better than "Fist of Heroes"?
my God!
Many people feel like their brains are buzzing.
In fact, for Wang Mo, this situation is normal.
Because in his opinion, "Kung Fu" is better than "Fist of Heroes".
Moreover, "Kung Fu" is a comedy, so the audience is naturally larger, which makes it more popular.
certainly.
What caused a bigger stir in the industry is that this time "Kung Fu" does not seem to be a comedy in the traditional sense.
The humor is strange, incomprehensible and completely illogical.
However, this kind of humor is surprisingly effective.
Some film critics analyzed: "Could this be the nonsensical comedy movie officially promoted by "Kung Fu"? Nonsense, that is, there is no cause and effect, no reason, and language and behavior have no clear purpose. But it is inexplicably funny and inexplicably hilarious. This This noun is indeed very suitable for "Kung Fu"."
Another person said: " Nonsense is the key to the success of this movie. Without this kind of humor, it would look like a mindless movie. However, it is precisely because of this just right humor that it It runs through the whole movie and makes the movie reasonable. People are immersed in this kind of funny and can't extricate themselves. Especially the protagonist's words and deeds are very different and unusual comedians. I somewhat understand why Wang Mo wants to use Zhong An is the protagonist, and ordinary comedians simply cannot handle such nonsensical humor."
It seemed to confirm what this person said.
Soon, China's top comedian Yuan Li spoke up: "After Mr. Wang Mo filmed "Kung Fu", many people asked me why Mr. Wang didn't invite me to this comedy. At first, I was a little sullen, no. I know why I didn’t catch Teacher Wang’s attention. But after watching “Kung Fu” today, I realized that Teacher Wang was right, because I simply can’t handle such a comedy. If I were to play the leading role, I’m afraid “Kung Fu” would be ruined by me. Anyway, in my opinion, Zhong An is the best protagonist. For his humorous performance, let alone me, no one in the whole of China can be better than him. I can even say without exaggeration: maybe Only Zhong An can control the position of the protagonist of "Kung Fu"."
One word stirred up a thousand waves.
Given Yuan Li's prestige in the Chinese film industry, these words carry a lot of weight.
Coupled with the movie's word-of-mouth explosion.
So Zhong An was immediately pushed to the forefront.
Zhong An is on fire!
It can even be said that the fire is a complete mess.
An unknown actor suddenly played the leading role of Wang Mo, which in itself was an explosive event. But before the movie was broadcast, many people were skeptical about Zhong An.
To this day, when the reputation of "Kung Fu" exploded, and when Yuan Li said that the humor was unparalleled in China, Zhong An became the darling of the media.
"You're a newcomer. The box office of the first movie is conservatively estimated to be over 3 billion. Zhong An is going to become an instant star."
"The key is his acting skills in the movie, which really shocked me. Such an actor is born to thrive in comedy."
"It's Brother Mo who has a keen eye for people and found someone like Zhong An to be the protagonist."
"Based on Yuan Li's words, Zhong An will suddenly become China's top actor."
"Next year's Rookie King."
"Oh my God! It's really a miracle in the entertainment industry."
"Zhong An, prepare to welcome this heaven-shaking wealth."
"..."
Zhong An, who was currently in the new department of Yunhai Media, looked embarrassed. How could he, a young actor who was used to being at the bottom, adapt to such overwhelming heat?
There are surprises, fears, and confusions...
Wang Mo ignored Zhong An's situation. Naturally, someone will take care of this matter.
After all, in the Black League, except for Ye Yuanhang and a few others, who is not an instant hit?
Therefore, everyone has quite a lot of experience in this area, and it is not Wang Mo's turn to help Zhong An calm down his emotions.
Wang Mo was just thinking about one thing: After letting Zhong An play "Kung Fu", what should he play in the next movie?
In a real sense, "Kung Fu" is not particularly nonsensical.
Among the Xing Ye series of movies, movies such as "Tang Bohu Spots Autumn Fragrance" and "Domestic Lingling Paint" are the ones that take nonsensical expression to the extreme.
Therefore, it will take a long time for Zhong An to become the star master of Blue Star.
…
The second is: the reputation of "Magic City Fortress" has exploded.
Well...it's just a different kind of explosion that is completely different from "Kung Fu".
2.6 points!
Not to mention this score shocked the industry, even many movie fans were dumbfounded.
For such a situation, the marketing account is not stingy at all in its sharpness.
["Fortress" creates the lowest score in movie history]
[Bad reviews of "Fortress"]
[Science fiction masterpiece? Pooh! 】
[It turns out that a movie can really be so bad that it hurts your eyes]
What followed was an outcry that swept the entire internet.
"Shit!"
"That's a bunch of shit to shoot."
"Everyone, please don't go see this movie. It's just disgusting."
"I guarantee with my life that there is absolutely no redeeming quality in this movie."
"..."
Some people even angrily said: "This is the most unreasonable science fiction movie I have ever seen. How dare you say that it is a masterpiece that opens the door to Chinese science fiction? I think this door has not been opened, but has been locked by you!" It directly pulls the already fragile Chinese science fiction movies into the abyss!"
abuse.
The sky was filled with abuse.
Someone shouted for a refund.
Someone shouted to collect money.
…
finally……
The film critic’s review is out.
For many movie fans who are watching, they are skeptical about the completely opposite ratings of "Kung Fu" and "Fortress".
Because the ratings of the two movies are so extreme, there may be elements of trolls involved.
Therefore, everyone still wants to see what the critics say about the two movies before deciding whether to go to the cinema to watch them.
first.
It's Guo Bin, as a senior film critic in China. Last time he shined in the Chinese film critic circle with his review of "Fist of Heroes" and attracted countless fans.
So this time he focused on Wang Mo's movie.
On the day "Kung Fu" was released, he bought the earliest ticket, watched the movie immediately, and then immediately started writing a review.
The film review is titled: ["Kung Fu", an epoch-making film work].
This topic is extremely shocking.
The content is also extremely shocking.
“First: nonsensical humor has created a new comedy era for Chinese movies.
Second: The ultimate camera movement allows people to see Hollywood-style blockbuster scenes.
Third: The smooth plot and storyline are almost climaxes, making people forget to leave.
Fourth: It takes Chinese Kung Fu movies to another level and lets people know that Kung Fu movies can be shot like this. "
Then, Guo Bin started from these aspects and elaborated in two to three thousand words, analyzing "Kung Fu" incisively and vividly. It can even be said that just reading his film review can make your blood boil.
Netizens were amazed.
"It has to be Brother Bin."
“This review is spot on.”
"Because of this review, I have to watch "Kung Fu"."
"Must see!"
"Rush! Charge together!"
at the same time.
Many people still asked another question: "Brother Bin, have you watched "Fortress"? What is your evaluation of this movie?"
oh?
Asking about "Magic City Fortress"?
Guo Bin raised his eyebrows. Of course he also watched the movie that day and wrote a review.
So when someone asked him about it, he immediately wrote this movie review.
The name is: ["Fortress", also an epoch-making film work].
