Lin Xiaozhai is still a professional film critic. As a professional, she should do professional things. After staying up late the night before and oversleeping, she missed last night's premiere. Today, she finally went to a nearby cinema to buy a copy of "The Wandering Blue"

》 to watch it, and plan to write a movie review after watching it.

Lin Xiaozhai, like other movie fans, is not optimistic about this science fiction blockbuster that cost 300 million yuan.

Because when it comes to scripts, directors, and actors, you can't find anyone who can show off.

The only one who is somewhat famous is the newcomer ‘Li Youqing’ who stole the show last year.

Moreover, the Chinese film market is relatively sluggish for science fiction movies. Among the more than a thousand movies produced in China every year, including those that have not been released, you cannot find ten science fiction movies.

Market + quality have become the fundamental problems of this 300-million-dollar blockbuster.

So despite the fact that "Wandering Blue" has spent a lot of effort in promoting it this month, it has actually achieved little success and has not aroused any shocking buzz.

On the contrary, because the script comes from Li Youqing's husband, netizens have joked that this movie may be Mr. Jiang's battle of proof, which has aroused a lot of enthusiasm.

After all, it was the topic that directly caused Weibo to go offline in the first place, and it was also a 'grievance situation', so naturally everyone paid attention to it.

Many netizens even went to Jiangbei Weibo to make fun of it. Unfortunately, from the promotion to the release, Mr. Jiang did not stand up and admit it. On the other hand, 'Mid Summer' occasionally posted one or two Weibo posts, overtly or covertly hinting at the movie.

Must pounce.

The famous 'Mr. Mu Xia' has said so, and combined with the market + quality of the movie itself, everyone is naturally not optimistic about "Wandering Blue".

During the promotion period, the public's expectations will affect the theater's scheduling of the film to a certain extent.

Faced with the market's unfavorable outlook, major theater chains repeatedly cut off the film schedule of "The Wandering Blue" during the promotion period, from the initially negotiated 30% to 20%, and then to 15%, which can be said to be a serious injury.

.

The decline in film schedules and the lack of market and quality expectations have made the prospects of "Wandering Blue" even before it is released.

The final outcome will not be clear until the box office is released on the first day.

But after all, it was the first day of release, and the theater was still packed.

As the lights dimmed, the big screen began to play the feature film.

Before finishing the plot, the title "Wandering Blue" and the names of director Ji Yingzi and screenwriter Jiang Bei appeared on the big screen. Lin Xiaozhai pushed the frame and sat up slightly.

Promoting the ‘Blue Star’ project is science fiction.

At least from a storytelling perspective, this aspect is very eye-catching.

In addition, the special effects are also very exquisite and not shoddy.

From just a few minutes, it can be seen that this movie has the basic elements of a science fiction movie.

Eighteen minutes later, a long shot slowly stretched out from the two brothers and sisters who secretly ran up from the dungeon. The 10,000-seat propeller engine burned with fluorescent light reaching into the sky, and the propelled blue star suddenly appeared in the vast starry sky.

.

"Wow! The special effects are great!"

"What a shocking scene, this is the Azure Star being pushed!"

“Super cool.”

There were waves of exclamations from the audience in the theater.

Even Lin Xiaozhai looked surprised. The use of this lens and special effects are great, not inferior to those foreign science fiction blockbusters.

"Qualified director."

"Decent special effects."

"Well... there are also some wild and unconstrained themes."

This movie has a promising future.

"Perhaps Mr. Jiang can really prove that he is no worse than Mu Xia."

…

"Nima!"

Hiding in the toilet of the Mall of Mall, Jiang Bei secretly hid in there under the pretext of peeing and frantically searched for relevant news on the Internet with his mobile phone, his face as gloomy as water.

Keywords: Blue Fortress.

No.

Keywords: movie "Blue Fortress".

No.

Keywords: Ji Yingzi.

Result: Instructor and director of the Blue Film and Television Academy, the first science fiction film "Wandering Blue" is being released.

The search results again and again made the old man's heart gradually drop to freezing point.

There is no information related to "Blue Fortress", and all that is found is "Wandering Blue".

The so-called theory that two movies were released on the same day does not exist at all.

Even the movie "Blue Bastion" may not have been filmed.

Since "The Blue Fortress" has not been filmed, the movie Ji Yingzi shot last year will naturally be "The Wandering Blue".

What the hell is the problem with this?

Who can change all this under their noses?

Ji Yingzi, Suixi.

One took his money and the other took his script.

Oh shit!

What on earth have you done!

Jiang Bei didn't know how he survived this movie.

All I know is that my ears are filled with exclamations, occasional smiles, and compliments.

These positive comments felt particularly harsh to him for the first time, and he even had the urge to run up and question them.

Are you blind?

Can’t you tell that the movie is so poorly shot?

I'm afraid it's not a paid navy, right?

…

The weather in Azure City at the end of June was like this, with sultry winds sweeping across and heavy rain falling in an instant.

In a Western restaurant, the hostess was actively taking orders, while the male host was silently looking at the night view outside the window.

The dim exterior scene was blurry and dark, and heavy rain flooded the world. Just like his future, there was no hope at all.

The phone in his pocket kept vibrating. He checked the number and found it was someone he didn't dare to answer.

This time, it was really cold.

"Beibei, what kind of steak do you want to eat?" In contrast, Li Youqing, who had finished watching the movie, asked with a menu filled with happiness on his face.

Eat steak?

He is now in the mood to swallow a knife.

"Beibei, what do you want to drink?"

Because they came by car, the couple tacitly refused to drink.

"Whatever." Jiang Bei rubbed his cheeks, trying not to look so sad.

"Then let's drink Coke. You didn't drink much when you were watching the movie just now. Coke with ice is delicious." After Li Youqing finished speaking, he communicated with the waiter on the side. After ordering the menu, the waiter bowed and left.

.

"Call Liangliang and tell her that we won't go back for dinner tonight and let her order takeout."

"Please call me. My phone is out of battery and turned off."

The phone is indeed about to run out of battery, if I continue to be beaten by my father-in-law like this.

"Don't beat her."

After all, he was not dealing with Zhang Jiuliang. Li Youqing proudly took out a pink power bank from his bag and handed it over: "Here you are, let's use the power bank."

Jiangbei: "..."

I don’t know if his father-in-law, Li Qiangguo, gave up on making harassing calls. The vibration in his pocket stopped ringing for a while, so he quietly took it out and inserted the power bank with the back facing up, pretending to wait for it to turn on.

In fact, Zhang Jiuliang, a social worker, didn't need anyone to remind her to order takeout. As early as when the couple went to the movies, she guessed that they might have to eat alone in the evening, so when she called, Comrade Liangliang was eating with her mouth watering.

Liangliang is not at home, and the surrounding sounds are quite noisy.

According to her explanation, she happened to meet Han Yingmei who was interviewing on the street in the afternoon, and was enthusiastically invited by the other party to treat her to dinner. As for the truth, it depends on the beholder.

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Bei recounted the news from Liangliang, and the steak was served just in time.
