Chapter 650: A Rescue Work
Tuesday morning.
The first thing Lao Xiong did when he got up was not to wash up and eat, but to turn on his mobile phone to watch the box office of "Suspense Novelist".
Monday was a weekday, and the box office data dropped significantly, but it also reached the 53 million figure.
Of course, it is far from the 200 million on the first day, but the second-ranked movie has a box office of only 14 million.
In the current film market, "Suspense Novelist" has no competitors, and it is harvesting the box office like a giant.
This may squeeze the living space of other movies, and maybe the companies behind those movies are jumping and scolding.
But for theater owners and film companies that do not have a competitive relationship, its existence is exciting.
It not only drives the cold film market, but also mercilessly hits the face of those who sneer at the Chinese film market, but also injects a shot of augmentation for filmmakers who are weak after the bleak Spring Festival.
There are also those who have worked hard to make good movies. In the past few years, they always wondered whether it wouldn’t work for making good movies in China. Otherwise, why would those bad movies be favored by the audience, and they worked hard to make good movies but no one cared about them?
Now, "Suspense Novelist" uses reality to prove to them that the market is returning to the correct cognition, and the so-called correct knowledge means that good movies will be favored by the market, and bad movies will only be eliminated by the audience.
It is a well-deserved rescue work.
The bright spring seems to have arrived, and Lao Xiong is happy to see it.
As a film critic, he sincerely hopes that good movies can make a fortune and change the situation where bad money drives out good money in the past.
This is why he has a strong and proud feeling of "Suspense Novelist", just like a spiritual shareholder, who opens a professional data platform every day and is happier than anyone else to see the box office rise in movies.
After confirming the latest data, Lao Xiong looked through some related reports. The reports from major news media were positive. Several official media also posted articles to praise the movie, and the keywords included were full of beautiful names such as "Saving the Market".
Lao Xiong was happy to watch it. When he returned to the main interface of the mobile phone, he happened to see the movie critic exchange group in the social software. The news has reached 99.
This is not surprising. There are hundreds of people in this group, most of which are members of the Chinese Film Review Society, including Lao Xiong.
The China Film Critics Society is an official film review organization composed of experts from universities, research institutions, academic groups, publishing institutions, and film critics active in the media and the Internet.
This exchange group is also one of the many exchange platforms established by the members of the society. It is not official, but it is also considered a huge number of experts with many qualifications and a level far superior to that of the old bears.
Lao Xiong also likes to communicate with others in the group, such as when he came back from the preview of "Suspense Novelist" last time, many members of the group went to watch the preview, and they couldn't help but discuss it in the group.
After the latest preview, a new wave of discussions came again, and thousands of news were refreshed, but Lao Xiong has been busy sorting out the film review manuscripts in the past two days and has not had time to read them.
He originally wanted to join the group and chat with everyone with a happy attitude, but when he clicked on the message interface, he saw someone criticizing it in a loud voice:
["Suspense Novelist" is a mysterious movie that can become a box office champion. What kind of movie can save the market? I don't know if the audience is not good at seeing it now!]
Lao Xiong had a heart attack on the spot. He clicked on the person’s avatar and found that he was also an old member of the group, but he didn’t know which pain point he was poked today, and he was so sore?
The people in the group were all cultural people, and most of them didn't want to pay attention to him. I couldn't help but ask:
【Have you seen this movie?】
The man immediately started jumping:
[Of course I have watched it! I just don’t understand it after watching it! Nowadays, bad movies can be played into classics. Director Wang is amazing, capital is invincible. In the future, such "classics" will become popular. My future for watching Chinese movies is worrying!]
The old bear curled his lips and left a message with his finger:
[What do you mean is that the capital behind this year's Spring Festival movies?]
There were many laughing expressions below, or those who were sarcastic in agreement with Lao Xiong.
The other party seemed to be choking, and after a while, he angrily typing on the keyboard and responded:
[Young children need to fight more to become weapons! What can you do if you just brag about it as film critics? Chinese movies are not as good as European and American movies. Now you are so bragging about the world that you are so proud of. I am afraid that you can’t even recognize the reality. How can you develop in the future!]
Lao Xiong replied "humble":
【Then what are your opinions?】
The other party didn't hear the true meaning inside and answered proudly:
[Of course, you should study the advanced film industry in Europe and the United States well. Movies like suspense should at least be as good as the United States' "Dark Night Intention" and balabala...]
Lao Xiong was too lazy to watch the second half. When he read the first sentence, he knew that this was another brainless blowjob of European and American movies.
In fact, there are quite a lot of such people in the Chinese film critic circle. After all, the movies you have seen in the past few decades are the products of advanced and developed industries in Europe and the United States. Chinese films are naturally far behind others, so it is also necessary to correctly recognize the gap between them.
But there are always some people whose perception of this gap has reached the stage of "crazy" and even risen to the point where it is good as it is a foreign movie, and as long as it is a Chinese movie, it is bad.
For example, those who are now jumping to output their opinions are the best among these people. Anyway, for them, their own rice is not delicious, and other people's shit is fragrant.
Lao Xiong didn't want to talk nonsense with him, so he replied neatly:
[But the box office of "Murder in the Night" you mentioned has just exceeded 100 million in China.]
A plain sentence, if you look closely, every word is silent mockery.
The box office of a certain person's classic film is not as good as the first-day box office of "Suspense Novelist".
Is it a slap in the face?
The other party obviously felt a little embarrassed, and it took a long time to reply angrily:
[They have good results in the North American market!]
Lao Xiong asked:
【How much is the box office?】
This man finally became angry:
[Box office cannot represent everything!]
Old Bear:
【How many awards did you win last year?】
This sentence can be said to have blocked the other party's words tightly.
Seeing that the other party had not responded, Lao Xiong thought he was admitting his conscience.
As a result, the administrator who had not been online for a long time suddenly bubbling up and said he had kicked that guy just now.
[The company behind this person introduced "Murder in the Night" last year, but the box office was bleak and the company suffered a lot of losses. I guess I was jealous of "Suspense Novelist".]
