On the day when the reputation of Hollywood blockbusters collapsed—that is, the day they premiered in China—Yu Yang spent at least an entire hour reading movie reviews, then chatted privately with Xu Mi and laughed like a pig.

[Sister, you are so capable! How much is an investment of 500 million U.S. dollars equivalent to RMB? More than 3 billion??? It’s gone! It’s gone in one day!]

[Have you seen the estimated box office given by the platform? Five hundred million makes me laugh to death]

[Thomas Jones, a man who endorses Split and is in urgent need of box office revenue, is about to usher in the second wave of bloodletting. I don’t know if he will regret it. Anyway, if I were him, I would definitely regret it hahahaha]

[…]

Yu Yang was really happy. This time it was different from Chi Yan's jokes before. This time it was really about him.

Whether the film "The Dog Will Die Well" can break through 4.6 billion in one fell swoop or even win a higher box office largely depends on the performance of Hollywood blockbusters.

If Thomas Jones stars in this movie that has a good box office and word-of-mouth success, theaters will definitely favor them when arranging movies, because this is a new movie, and Xu Mi's movie has been released for half a month.

Yu Yang is not a saint, and as a competitor, he definitely doesn’t want his opponent to explode.

In the end, this science fiction film had nothing to do with the explosion, and its reputation was completely ruined...

A few years ago, as long as the investment was large and the starring role was well-known, even a bad movie could make a few days of money. Now the audience has learned wisely, and everyone says it is bullshit, unless he is an up-and-comer who makes a living by making videos.

Most other people simply believe the public reviews and don't think that even if it is shit, I have to taste it myself to know whether it tastes good or not.

Yu Yang just watched the pre-sales of tomorrow's science fiction film. Generally, the pre-sales of Hollywood blockbusters on the second day should be very good, and good seats must be snatched up.

Not only does it not need to be rushed, but the theater owners have to regret having too high expectations for it because of the empty theaters.

Anyway, Yu Yang was so happy that he could fly, and Xu Mi said:...

Yu Yang is still there, sister.

——[Your sister doesn’t want to talk to you]

——[This bad movie was shot by the director and edited later. What does it have to do with me, Xu Mimi? I won’t take the blame]

[Yes]

[you're right]

[But many viewers said they were blinded after watching it and wanted to wash their eyes with the white peacock again. Do you understand the current situation? In short, you can contact the zoo]

[Be open-minded, our entire crew will always remember you]

[In short, it’s all like this, you have to say goodbye even if you’re happy, and you have to say goodbye if you’re not happy~]

Xu Mi:……

Although she was about to be forced to keep her promise, she was supposed to be cured by this box office performance, but the reality was that Xu Mi disliked Thomas Jones from head to toe. She also asked about who was born in country m and raised in country m.

Is Yan Huibai really a Hollywood A-list star? Why is he so useless???

Yan Huibai said that he had watched the movie, and objectively speaking, the box office failure was not to blame on the lead actor.

"You should also shoot more material when making a movie, right? When it comes to post-production, if you keep every point written in the script, the duration will explode. During post-production, they will remove some that they feel are not so important.

Or the less exciting parts, but no plot can be directly pushed to the climax without any foreshadowing. If it is pushed directly to you, you will only be confused and not happy, do you understand?"

With everything explained like this, what else is there that you don’t understand?

"Are you saying that the editing destroyed the integrity of the story? Didn't anyone notice it during the internal viewing?"

"Maybe it's because the people watching the movie have read the script in detail and understand the story very well. They have the foundation to watch movies, but the audience does not have the foundation and has cultural barriers."

"Then I think this Thomas is wrong?"

…

Yan Huibai's analysis of this incident was not to clarify for Thomas Jones. He was purely trying to answer why a movie with an investment of 500 million US dollars could fail so miserably.

How bad is the reputation of this movie in China?

Many netizens joked that they spent another US$500 million? I'm afraid it wasn't money laundering.

Xu Mi was very reasonable. After hearing what Yan Huibai said, she apologized to Thomas Jones in her heart.

Thomas Jones didn't receive this "goodwill" at all, mainly because he didn't know which kind person opened a transfer thread on their forum with huge traffic.

"[Transfer] Everyone knows that a science fiction blockbuster with an investment of 500 million has just been released in mainland China. Let me share the comments of the audience there."

The poster who opened the thread carefully took screenshots of the wonderful comments on each platform, translated them into English and posted them there.

On this day, people in China saw the ability of this idiot netizen to complain, and also learned that the science fiction blockbuster starring Thomas Jones with an investment of 500 million US dollars was not as good as the comedy starring Xu Mi with an investment of less than 500 million RMB.

In the post, some idiot fans of Thomas Jones are suspected to be jumping around, saying that they don’t know if the screenshots are real.

Because of this bully, the poster reflected on himself and felt that his summary statement was indeed not accurate enough, so he explained the situation carefully.

He said that this sci-fi blockbuster was not that bad. After all, it won the single-day championship, and it collapsed immediately on the first day it was released.

It should be noted that when this movie was released, the comedy had already been released for more than half a month... In short, Thomas Jones is being stripped very badly. He is known as the number one in Hollywood, and his character has collapsed.

This post became so popular on the forum that many people took screenshots and uploaded them to Twitter.

The title of Hollywood's number one blower has fallen firmly on Thomas Jones.

Dean Martinez almost died laughing after reading the above tweets, and Thomas Jones, needless to say, almost smashed up his own house.

He tweeted again and said that some people only deserve to watch comedies and cannot appreciate science fiction movies.

——If I were the director, I would definitely stuff the smelly socks in his mouth before he forced himself. Even if I think there is nothing wrong with his acting, if the box office fails like this and it's over and it's all over, what's the point of complaining?

——This is the connotation that the audience is not worthy???

——What’s the connotation? Isn’t this sarcasm?

——I understand, I understand.

After a wave of reverse transfers, Thomas Jones is completely cool. Dare you say that your food and clothing are not worthy of your parents? Parents must not teach you an unfilial son? Resist! Must resist!

Seeing that netizens were paying attention to where she was going, Xu Mi felt a little better, but what was supposed to come would come sooner or later, even if it was a day or two late.

On the day when the box office reached 4.7 billion, netizens remembered it.

What about the promised battle?

You still need credit in life. Even if you said that when you were interviewed and you were really determined that you couldn't surpass it, now that you have surpassed it, you have to bite the bullet and do it.

So she updated Weibo that day.

Xu Mi v:

knew.

Promise you will do it.

Let me prepare.

Prepare?

Do you need to prepare for this?

Wouldn’t it be enough to go directly to the zoo?????

The comment below said this, but Xu Mi ignored it. She discussed it with Lu Yiming and later contracted the Peacock Garden for only half a day. Then everyone from the crew went together, including the comedians who worked well together at the time, including Yu Yang.

And screenwriter Yan Huibai.

Anyway, when it comes to this, why not just release a video and treat it as a promotion for the movie.

Even if it's not a day off, there are still tourists at Animal Man. When they walked over, they immediately attracted the attention of ordinary tourists. Someone asked if they were here for the battle? Can they watch from the side?

"It's not very convenient to watch the scene. You go back and watch the video. The video will be released tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."

This group of tourists was particularly excited to bring the good news online.

——I met Xu Mi, Yu Yang and others at the zoo. They came to battle the peacocks, but it was a pity that we were not allowed to watch from the side.

——They said they were afraid that something might happen if they were crowded together.

——Yu Yang, Xu Mi, Yan Hui and Bai are all here. It would be weird to open it up so that you can see the chaos. You should just wait for the video.

——Wait, wait! I’ve spent a lot of time waiting, not less than these two days!

Two days later, the film's official Weibo released a video that was less than ten minutes long, with three dog heads as the text.

Yu Yang asked his assistant to keep an eye on it, and he successfully forwarded it to three people within two minutes of the video being released.

Sister Xiannu immediately clicked on it and watched it, and almost died laughing after watching it.

To be honest, Xu Mi felt very regretful after that day. She regretted that she should not have brought so many people there. The actors she collaborated with played a role at the scene - haha.

They were like humanoid self-propelled barrages. They laughed for at least five or six minutes in a video that was less than ten minutes in total, laughing and complaining at the same time.

The sequence is as follows. First, stand up and Xu Mi enters the park and performs a scene, which is a scene in the movie. She successfully transformed herself into a peacock with its tail open, and then finished the scene.

The male peacocks, who were walking leisurely, competed with her with their arrogance, howling and showing off their gorgeous tail feathers to Xu Mi.

You can hear someone from the crew writing off-camera: "Coming to court you??? Are you coming to court me? Is the objectification so awesome that even a real peacock can be deceived???"

"In a sense, Sister Mi is really strong!"

"It's not very strong, it's just too strong. It's almost here!"

That's right, the male peacocks are here, and they all come to fight with Xu Mi. As long as she doesn't stop playing, the peacocks will keep chirping and opening their tails.

The scene was very anxious at one point, and it wasn't particularly funny. What really made people laugh and beat them to the ground was when the female peacocks came and killed them shortly after the male peacocks gathered.

While pushing the group showing off their tail hair away, they rushed towards Xu Mi.

——……

——My fault, I underestimated...

——I just remembered that the male peacock opened his tail. So what happened that day was that Xu Mi successfully defeated the male peacocks and brought the female home?

——God brought the mother bird home in his arms!

——I felt bad when I saw the beginning! Look at the peacocks in this zoo, they are all green.

——That’s it, the famous actress Green Bird Stone Hammer!
Chapter completed!
