Chapter 622
As someone with personal experience, Su Yang knew it well, but he was still very excited when he received Wu Feng's affirmative answer, "Is it true? Is there any data?"
Wu Feng said quickly, "Yes! The investigation agency I sent out surveyed many moviegoers and gave them scores of 9 or above! It is estimated that the scores on Maoyan and Taopiaopiao will be updated tomorrow!"
"We succeeded in screening this time!"
Su Yang was completely relieved. Although he knew that the movie had a good reputation because he went to watch the screening in the afternoon, he was afraid that he just happened to meet an audience who liked this type of movie.
Now that Wu Feng's investigation has come to fruition, Su Yang is completely relieved.
Then Wu Feng started chatting with Su Yang about the movie. Su Yang understood Wu Feng's mood. The last time his movie was a hit, he was under a lot of pressure. This time the movie will get good results based on word-of-mouth reviews, so of course he is happy.
.So Su Yang chatted with him for a few more words. After all, the two of them had to cooperate in the future.
After chatting with Wu Feng and hanging up the phone, Su Yang went online to read the reviews of "Wolf Warrior". Although there are not many viewers watching the film now, there are already one or two reviews. The reviews given are also very good.
Su Yang read these movie reviews happily before falling asleep.
He slept well, but in the girls' dormitory of the School of Liberal Arts at Shanghai University of Arts, a girl tossed and turned and couldn't sleep...
The girl was thinking about her date with someone during the day, and the more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She turned around on the bed, which made her roommate on the bottom bunk a little unbearable.
The roommate raised his head and said helplessly, "Auntie, what's wrong with you? Have you gone on a date and learned how to be a top?"
The girl blushed, but luckily she couldn't see it in the dark. She quickly whispered, "No, no. I just can't sleep. I'll try again."
"Okay." The roommate opened his sleepy eyes, yawned, and fell asleep again.
The girl's mouth pouted slightly, blaming someone for this incident: Humph! Ignore you!
Except...unless, you invite me to drink coffee. You also want to go to my mother's cafe to drink it!
Thinking of this, the girl was so beautiful that her eyes almost rolled with laughter.
If others saw her expression or the jumping and complicated thoughts in her heart, they would probably think of her as mentally ill.
But how many girls in love are not mentally ill?
Love itself is a "disease". It makes people happy and makes people sad.
...
In the next few days, the screening of "Wolf Warrior" continued, and the reputation of the screening gradually fermented. Not only did it score 9.9 on several mainstream ticket booking platforms, which is close to the perfect score, but also on Douban
A more stringent and professional platform also scored more than 8 points.
Although these ratings are bound to decline as the movie is released on a large scale, the fact that it can get such high scores during the screening period also shows the audience's recognition.
In the evaluation of the audience, "Wolf Warrior" itself represents the Chinese spirit, which is different from other domestic movies. The refreshing story rhythm, enjoyable story rhythm, and excellent special effects have won the praise of many audiences.
Especially the rhythm and special effects have received rave reviews.
Many viewers believe that this kind of refreshing pace and excellent popcorn movies have always been lacking in domestic movies.
And the lifelike special effects, especially the scene of the siege by wolves, look real, comparable to Hollywood special effects.
Of course, the good reputation of the screening does not bring high box office. Because the movie did not have many screenings, it only took in a box office of 170,000 in three days. It did not even break the 200,000 figure.
This also made many people in the entertainment industry laugh.
After all, although word-of-mouth is important when screening, it also depends on the size of the audience.
There are many movies in the entertainment industry that have great reputation but fail miserably at the box office. They will also have great reputation when they are screened, but when they are released on a large scale, they find that there are not many audiences.
This is because the target audience is most easily attracted by the screening, so the reputation of a niche movie is very easy to be inflated. However, because this kind of movie is not a mainstream movie and has a limited audience, it will be flooded once it is released on a large scale.
"Wolf Warrior" has this development trend now: most domestic movies focus on connotation and culture, and none of these fast-paced popcorn movies like Hollywood have become popular so far.
Except for a small group of viewers, most viewers don't seem to buy into this type of domestic film.
...
In the imperial capital, on the set of "Beautiful Office Worker", Yi Wei and the male protagonist are having a scene. Both of them are actors of the best and second-tier movies. As soon as they start acting, everyone on the scene will be emotionally involved.
At the end of a scene, the bearded director shouted, "Ka! It's over!" and then said, "Take a half-hour break."
After he finished shouting, the assistants came forward one after another, some put clothes on the stars, and some poured tea for the director. Another part of the huge crew was in operation again.
Bearded Liu lay down on his director's chair, drinking tea poured by his assistant, with an unconcealable smile on his face.
An assistant director next to him said with a flattering smile, "Director Liu, is there anything good today?"
Big Beard Liu took a sip of tea and crossed his feet leisurely, "It's a good thing. Do you still remember the producer of the farce crew a few days ago?"
The assistant director quickly said, "Remember, remember."
Liu Bearded put down his tea cup and said proudly, "The movie he made a bet with me before was screened."
The assistant director thought for a moment, "What's that "Wolf Warrior"?"
Big Beard Liu nodded, "Yes, "Wolf Warrior". It received good reviews when it was screened. In other words, it received rave reviews."
The assistant director was a little confused, "Then why are you still so happy?"
Liu Bearded said with a smile, "But, when it was screened, I watched that movie immediately. It was completely different from our mainstream domestic movies, but it was a bit similar to Hollywood popcorn movies."
"This kind of movie has empty content, no depth, no emotion, no cultural core, and the characters are not three-dimensional. It is just more refreshing and will be forgotten after watching it, so the audience will not like it."
The assistant director thought about it for a while and felt a little confused, "But Hollywood movies like this do well at the domestic box office."
Bearded Liu laughed, "That's because they are Hollywood blockbusters!"
"Who took that photo? America! The beacon of freedom. Can it be the same as in our country?"
"Have you never heard that foreign monks can recite sutras? The audience in our country likes to watch American blockbusters. If a non-nutritious film has a Hollywood title, it will immediately make hundreds of millions at the box office."
"We have made films like this in China that have no nutrition, no depth, and no culture, but they have not done well at the box office."
"Our market has long shown that we are only suitable for making films that are in-depth, have a national cultural core, or are close to the audience."
"Pure popcorn movies like "Wolf Warrior". Haha. Rubbish."
"Does it really think of itself as a Hollywood blockbuster?"
The assistant director was listening and didn't know whether Big Beard Liu was belittling domestic films or "domestic audiences", so he didn't dare to talk to him.
On the other hand, Big Beard Liu said cheerfully, "So, don't look at his high reputation now. That's because the audiences who screened it all like this type of film. After the screening is expanded, the audience will teach him how to behave."
"So, I plan to make a public bet with them!"
The assistant director was stunned for a moment, "Open bet?"
Liu Bearded said categorically, "Yes! I will @that producer on Weibo and make our bet public."
The assistant director dissuaded, "Director Liu, isn't it too risky? After all, they have a good reputation now."
Liu Bearded said with a smile, "I just want to bet while their reputation is good now. If their reputation is not good, or the box office of the premiere is out, everyone will know that I know the result in advance and bully the weak.
Yet?"
"Now, while they have a good reputation, I am making the bet public so that I can appear to be aboveboard."
The assistant director said silently: You go to see the movie secretly first, and then plan to expand it after you have your own evaluation. How can you be aboveboard...
Liu Bearded didn't know what the deputy director was thinking, so he directly ordered, "Go check the producer's Weibo. I'm going to edit the Weibo content."
Assistant director, "Okay."
It didn't take long for the assistant director to check Su Yang's Weibo. The main reason was that Su Yang had quarreled with the navy in the past and was somewhat of an Internet celebrity. So his private account was easy to check.
So soon, Liu Dabeard, who had obtained Su Yang's Weibo account, posted a Weibo message and @Su Yang.
[Mr. Su, you made a big fuss with my crew that day. You also said that I can’t direct and have no basic ability to identify movies. You doubted my professionalism.]
[Then you also said that the new movie you invested in will definitely have a box office of over 500 million. Let me study hard.]
[So I went to see your new movie as soon as it was released. The content was empty, without any connotation or depth, and the box office could not exceed 500 million.]
[So I just want to say: I accepted your bet, and I want to increase my bet! If your movie box office does not exceed 500 million, then I am willing to give you 1 million. If your movie box office exceeds 500 million, I will give you 1 million yuan.
, I don’t need your money, but you have to apologize to me in public.】
【Finally, your movie is really not good to watch.】
Liu Bearded's Weibo immediately attracted the attention of many netizens.
These days, most of Weibo is still friendly, and there are very few direct and direct confrontations, especially Liu Bearded is actually quite famous both inside and outside the circle.
After all, he has also made two or three well-received movies, and he is somewhat of a well-known figure. And Su Yang is even more extraordinary. He was an "Internet celebrity" who fought fiercely with the entire Internet trolls.
As soon as these two met, countless netizens moved up the bench and started eating. While telling the whole story, they began to look forward to Su Yang's response.
