Chapter 179 sensation
After the film, Jin Yutang was the first to stand up, and other creators also left their seats. Zhang Duo took Jin Yuzhi's hand out of the box. When they stood in a row at the front desk, several lights immediately fell overhead, illuminating their position.
At first, the audience had no reaction, and many people were still stuck in the funny plot. More people didn't recover for a while because they laughed too much just now.
Jin Yutang pinched a handful of sweat in his hand and waited for the moment when he decided the life and death of the film. Because there has never been such a spoof film in China. Although everyone laughed just now, maybe someone will say that this film is super vulgar!
After a while, there was finally thunderous applause. The audience stood up and applauded loudly. With "Who is the Great Hero" that continues to be played in the stereo, countless colored confetti and balloons fell on the roof of the cinema, but they were prepared in advance and had to be warmly applauded by the audience.
With the balloons and colored confetti that appeared in the previous ending on the screen, now they actually appear in the cinema, which sets off the atmosphere. The enthusiasm of the audience was getting higher and higher, and they kept shouting.
Zhang Xiaowan applauded and wondered, "Why did it become a New Year's greeting?"
It turned out that the reporters had begun to interview on the stage. They first said Happy New Year to each other and made a fortune this year before getting to the point. Mr. Jin, how many box office do you expect to get after the film is released?
"Of course, the more the box office, the better." Jin Yutang has been dealing with the media for a long time. In the face of the reporter's questions, his answer can be said to be watertight.
The reporter was unwilling and then asked, "Last year's highest-grossing movie was Choice. Do you plan to surpass the box office record of this movie?"
Jin Yutang curled his lips and said, "As long as this movie can make money, it doesn't matter how much."
Jin Yutang said this, but in fact, he is still very envious. From 1995 to 2000, it was the most difficult time for domestic movies. There is almost no future. With large-scale losses and large losses, the media almost disdains domestic movies, and then the domestic film industry has turned one after another. Filmmakers have gone to shoot TV series, the studio has been turned into a warehouse, the cinema has been turned into a dance hall, and the male and actresses of the film have acted in TV series.
I thought that 2001 was also a miserable year, but at the end of November, a "Choice" produced by Oriental Film Group Company was released, which tells the story of corruption of deputy provincial leaders, which is a very rare theme in China. In addition, with a certain educational significance, major institutions and schools have chartered venues one after another, and many individuals paid for tickets, which made the film finally earn 130 million yuan at the box office, which was praised as a "market rescue work" by the industry. For a time, the Oriental Film industry was in the limelight.
However, "East to West" can't fantasize about such a good thing. Such a spoof style may not get a good reputation in domestic critics. Jin Yutang only expects it to have a high box office.
However, the reporter who interviewed him was not good at stubble. After hearing Jin Yutang's words, he immediately asked, "Mr. Jin, our domestic films generally have a certain educational significance, but your company's "East to the West" is extremely spoof and subvert. Is it also for the purpose of making money?"
Hearing the reporter's question, Jin Yutang's eyebrows stood up. Zhang Duo saw clearly and knew that he was angry. He was afraid that he would have a temper in the government for a while. He left the reporter in front of him and took over the words.
"Comrade reporter, I want to ask you, how many times did you laugh when you were watching this film just now?" Zhang Duo asked with a smile.
The reporter blurted out, "Why have it been 20 or 30 times?"
Zhang Duo asked other reporters, "What about you?"
"It should be 30 or 40 times!" I can't count it!"
Zhang Duo said with a smile, "It can be seen that this film brings a lot of joy to everyone here. These days, there are all kinds of people who are short of money, houses, cars, and immoral. We can't give you these when we come here. But watching our "East and West" is guaranteed to make you forget these troubles and be happy. In this era, it's hard to find a film without peeing points!"
As soon as Zhang Duo's words were finished, the whole audience was happy and felt that the words were not rough and honest!
"East and West" earned nearly 3 million box office revenue on its opening day. Its hilarious plot has been rendered by the media and spread by word of mouth by the audience, attracting more and more people into the cinema.
Because of the original work and TV series, people are looking forward to this film. Now I know that it is a very funny film, and it is in the first month. On weekends, many people buy tickets in advance, and then the whole family goes to watch it.
In just a week, "East and West" won 30 million at the box office as a tough dark horse, which could enter the top five of the annual box office in the past. Long queues began to line up in front of major cinemas across the country, and there was an endless stream of spectators buying tickets.
Wu Wenjing, who was born with a lively love, couldn't buy tickets by herself, so she clamored for Zhang Duo to give her a few tickets, and complained that Zhang Duo did not invite her at the premiere, which was too boring. Zhang Duo, who was a little ashamed of his friend, waved ten cards to her and immediately made her very happy.
Wu Wenjing, who pulled her best friend and a bunch of female colleagues, appeared in the Qiancheng cinema by the Bincheng River,
"East to West" is a super funny film, with no urine spots and no rest in the midfield. I would like to remind you that please go to the bathroom before watching the movie, so as not to miss the wonderful plot. It is recommended not to eat snacks and drinks when watching movies to avoid choking.
"Wow, is it true or false? Is it so exaggerated?" Wu Wenjing stood in front of the promotional poster of the cinema and looked at the friendly tips above.
"Maybe it's true. A teacher in our school ate popcorn while watching this film and almost choked into the trachea. I heard it was scary!" Wen Ruyu said with lingering palpitations.
"I heard that all the people who came to watch that movie stood in, and finally laughed so hard that they had no strength to come out of the wall!" A female colleague of Wu Wenjing said.
"Real? It's really so exaggerated. Let's not buy food. Let's go to the bathroom first!" Wu Wenjing said with her chin in her hand.
As a result, there was a long queue in the front row of the women's bathroom in the cinema, and it took a lot of effort to go to the toilet. When watching the movie, they felt that it was really wise to go to the bathroom in advance, because there were laughing spots everywhere in the film. Each of the girls laughed until their stomachache and tears flowed out.
After watching the movie, Wen Ruyu, after having dinner with Wu Wenjing's colleagues, went home and did not write a novel first, but opened the Pea Film Review website. She saw that the score of "East and West" was as high as 8.7, and more than 100,000 people commented on the film. Price.
After Wen Ruyu read several film reviews, she suddenly felt a little itchy, so she turned on the computer, wrote one herself, and sent it to the pea website.
"I admit that I am a layman, but I do like this purely subversive funny comedy. Sometimes I feel like I have an obsessive-compulsive disorder. If I read, watch a movie or do anything, I will investigate its meaning.
In fact, life doesn't have to be like this, and there is no need to live so tired. I think it's good to laugh like a fool at a funny movie that may have no meaning. Anyway, life is heavy enough. It's better to be happy than unhappy.
Maybe many things are inherently simple. Punching can cut a beggar gang leader; he can't die, and his whole body is bruised; he has been painstakingly for decades, but he was killed by only boots, which is enough to be shameful; his favorite sister is actually just because he has never seen other women; the senior brother is empathized, it doesn't matter, and there are cousins; sincere people are not the same sex Relationship, three words of I love you, you can be an immortal. What is the saddest thing in life? If you don't know how to laugh and be frivolous, this life tied to the left and right will be even more pathetic..."
After Wen Ruyu posted the film review she wrote, she found that a netizen named "Like the Flowing Years" also published the film review almost at the same time, but the evaluation was only one star!
"I really don't want to give it one star, if it weren't for the lowest rating of Pea.com. For the vast majority of authors, they look at their works as if they are looking at their own children, and they must not tolerate others' random adaptation of it. But Meng Nanxing, like a stepfather, adapted a good "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" into such a ghost! It makes me doubt whether these works are really not written by him.
Does this film have anything to do with The Legend of the Condor Heroes? Although the characters who appeared have the same name as the people in the original work, they have different personalities and crazy experiences.
Well, it is meaningless to discuss the gains and losses and artistic connotation of this film, because this is a money-making film that takes advantage of the popularity of the TV series. The purpose of the producer is very clear, which is to extend the industrial chain created by the TV series and make another money in the film. Xingzai is a person who is good at popular writing. He has no artistic temperament, let alone artistic cells. He has done too much pursuit of the art of this film, which will only make everyone feel twisted!"
"Damn, it's amazing to say that Xing Zai has no artistic temperament. It's really unbearable, and aunt can't stand it!" After reading the film review, Wen Ruyu immediately replied quickly and wanted to scold the "Flowing Year". However, there are many netizens who have the same idea as her. The number of replies to the "Flowing Years" post was soon over a thousand, and they were scolded.
The evaluation of "East to West" on the Internet is almost one-sided, and there are only a few posts like "like the flow of water years". Often, as soon as it appears, it is scolded miserably.
and the reputation in reality is also very high. People are curious about the super funny film claimed by their friends. In people's word of mouth, the box office of "East to West" has achieved a blowout growth. Because of the downturn in the film industry in previous years, Chinese people have almost lost the idea of watching movies. Nowadays, with the feedback from the people around me and the TV series, more and more people have entered the cinema. By the second week, the total box office of "East and West" had reached 80 million, breaking 100 million, just around the corner.
