Zhao Po checked his phone for a while, and the movie officially started to show.
The four characters of Xingdong Entertainment appeared at the beginning of the film, along with its icon, a panda.
Only then did he remember that although "Chinatown" was Song Yu's second film, it was the first film produced by Xingdong Entertainment.
This is undoubtedly very memorable.
Of course, if it is a bad movie, it will become black history.
It has a new director Liu Ruoshu, a new screenwriter Song Yu, and a new male lead Qin Jun. It is a rare mystery theme.
Zhao Po felt that the possibility of a bad movie was over 90%.
In his opinion, mystery and suspense films are the greatest test of directors and screenwriters.
If you don't pay attention at all, you will become confused or make a fuss.
The acting skills of the actors are second to none.
After all, no matter how good your acting skills are, you can't save the script.
At the beginning of the movie, there was a picture of Qin Feng played by Song Yu.
He failed to pass the Criminal Police Academy, so his family asked him to go to Inluo to visit his relative Tang Ren for a week to relax.
Then it switched to Tang Ren's scene.
He sang in the bar, singing "The Past Can Only Be Reminisced".
There was some discussion in the cinema.
Because this is a new song.
There are small subtitles next to it to remind the audience that it was written by Song Yu.
Zhao Po casually typed a line of text on his mobile phone.
"It's smart to attract fans with new songs, but this song is a bit retro."
"The Past Can Only Be Reminisced" only sang a few lines, and then quickly cut scenes and went directly to the scene of the funeral.
Let’s talk about gold together.
Zhao Po wrote down the key words again.
"Is this a comedy?"
He couldn't help but shake his head when he saw the funny fight between Kuntai and Huang Landeng in the police station over an autopsy.
Too young.
Mystery and comedy.
Two types who are both difficult to photograph actually want to get together?
Zhao Po wanted to make too many movies back then, which made his movies become big bad movies that no one could understand.
The next plot is that Tang Ren takes Qin Feng to play in Inluo.
In various ways, the respective personalities of the two protagonists are reflected.
"Qin Jun, a newcomer, is very good at acting."
Zhao Po nodded secretly, "I don't know where Song Yu got it from. He had no reputation at all before."
The role of Tang Ren is actually not very easy to play.
It should not be annoying to the audience, but it should also be funny to the audience.
"The actors were well chosen and the beginning was smooth. There are no problems for the time being."
After Zhao Po wrote the comment, the plot suddenly changed.
Tang Ren's fingerprints were found on Huang Jingu's murder weapon, so he and Qin Feng fled to the end of the world.
"The chase is a bit interesting, tense and funny."
Zhao Po suddenly discovered that director Liu Ruoshu was also very skilled.
The subsequent plot further proved this point.
The movie quickly gets its first punchline.
The gangster trio, the two police detectives and the two protagonists gathered at the house of the landlord Axiang.
"It's a good use of the tactic of coincidence."
Zhao Po typed this line with a smile.
Looking at it now, he feels that at least he is doing well in comedy.
After Tang Ren was wronged, he decided to find out the truth with Qin Feng.
In fact, there is a section involving the Dragon-Seeking Ruler.
Song Yu changed it to the dragon-hunting formula in "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", which was considered an Easter egg.
The two protagonists break into the police station to check the surveillance camera, which is another laugh point.
And once again showed Qin Feng’s amazing talent.
During the exploration process, many characters appeared.
For example, the Godfather of Chinatown, the little girl Sinuo and her adoptive father.
Zhao Po looked in unknowingly.
Two hours later, the movie has almost come to an end.
Comedy and mystery combine quite well.
The acting skills of the two leading actors Qin Jun and Song Yu are also completely online.
One is responsible for comedy, and the other is responsible for reasoning and handsomeness.
It's a perfect combination.
The plot progresses to a street brawl.
Zhao Po finally understood where the 300 million cost was spent.
I have to say that this chase battle is quite exciting, and the scene is very big, unlike many movies, which have a petty atmosphere.
"It's time to reveal the mystery."
Zhao Po looked at Tang Ren's reasoning in the movie and said with a smile, "He is indeed Sinuo's adoptive father."
But within a few minutes, he was completely slapped in the face.
Especially after Sinuo's smile appeared, there were waves of exclamations in the cinema.
"So the murderer is Sinuo?"
Zhao Po was stunned, this plot was really unexpected.
While he was relaxing, an Easter egg appeared in the movie, indicating the location of the next part, in Ami.
"Very ambitious."
After Zhao Po left the show, he went to the next movie.
He originally wanted to watch Summit Entertainment's "Duel". After all, apart from "Chinatown", it was the most popular.
But at this time, he became interested in "People on the Road".
Song Yu is also the screenwriter, will he be surprised again?
Zhao Po bought a ticket and it was half an hour before the next show.
He took out his cell phone and started writing a film review of "Chinatown".
The title is, it is both a qualified comedy and a qualified mystery film.
In the article, he focused on the acting skills of the two leading actors, the unexpectedness of the plot and the various dense laughter.
Halfway through writing, I went to the cinema to watch "The Lost Journey".
This is a simple comedy.
It tells the story of the two protagonists on their way home after the Spring Festival.
After Zhao Po read it, he was really shocked.
When it comes to the comedy part alone, he feels it is more exciting than "Chinatown".
Because it is definitely a masterpiece.
He was also surprised by the acting skills of the two newcomers, Qin Jun and Li Qiang.
The performance is quite good, better than most movie actors.
Zhao Po originally wanted to watch ten movies before writing reviews, but these two movies made him unable to hold back, so he went home early to catch up on work.
At the same time, Cheng Zhi, the CEO of Summit Entertainment, also walked into the cinema.
He happened to have nothing to do today, so he went to a nearby place and bought a ticket to watch "Chinatown".
This movie is the biggest competitor to "Duel".
In addition, Song Yu had some grudges with him.
Various factors were combined, and Cheng Zhi decided to take a look.
If you know the enemy, you will be victorious in every battle.
However, his heart was still quite stable.
He has watched "Duel", which is definitely a qualified war movie.
And the cost is not high, making it back is very simple.
As for the so-called 300 million cost of "Chinatown Detective", he doesn't really believe it.
Even if there are 300 million, most of it is estimated to be Song Yu's salary.
These days, too many movies deal with money laundering.
The hall darkened and the movie officially started.
Cheng Zhi watched the plot while observing the audience's reactions.
Many times, audiences and film critics have completely different opinions.
The reputation of a movie mainly depends on the audience.
"It's not good." Cheng Zhi said secretly.
From the beginning of the movie, you can hear laughter from the audience every once in a while.
For a movie, it is undoubtedly a successful performance.
At the same time, Cheng Zhi's own feelings were not far from the same.
He really thought the movie was good.
It's full of laughs, the reasoning process is good, and the fights and chase scenes are not bad.
All added up, it shows that "Chinatown" is not a bad movie, but a work above the standard.
Not worse than Summit Entertainment's "Duel".
Add in Song Yu's factors, and he might lose.
While he was thinking, his eyes suddenly widened.
Cheng Zhi thought the movie was about to end, but unexpectedly there was a shocking reversal.
Sinuo, starring in Guan Man, had a smile that made him excited.
"broken!"
Cheng Zhi blurted out.
The movie ends.
"It was a really good shot."
"Brother Yu, you will never disappoint us. Let's go and compete with the black men online."
"Xingdong Entertainment has signed a contract with Guan Man. He is really a discerning actor. He is an actor with a promising future."
"It's kind of interesting. The smile at the end was completely unexpected, but it was very reasonable."
"I plan to watch "The Lost Road", which is also written by Brother Yu. I think it won't disappoint us."
Cheng Zhi listened to all kinds of discussions and left the hall.
He turned on the Skynet movie with a heavy heart.
At this time, the movie has been played for two rounds, and there are many viewers who have watched the movie.
The rating of "Chinatown Adventure" was as high as 9.2 points.
Although it was falsely high on the first day, it also proved its reputation.
Cheng Zhi went to the "Duel" interface and found that the score was actually pretty good, 8.7 points.
It's a pity that there is no horizontal comparison.
"Wait, why is it third place?"
Cheng Zhi noticed that there was a line of small words under the fraction.
[The movie score in this issue ranks third.]
"It's impossible."
Cheng Zhi felt that he couldn't understand it, so he looked at the ratings of other movies and was stunned.
"People on the Road" is rated nine points.
"...?"
Cheng Zhi was silent for a few seconds, and then ran to buy movie tickets for "On the Road".
After reading it, I felt a little lost.
He understood why it was nine points, but he preferred not to understand.
Just think of it as an inflated score given by Song Yu's fans.
There are many people who feel as bad as him.
For example, Wang Jinquan of Longteng Entertainment.
He didn't go to the movies to avoid seeing Song Yu angry, but he had noticed the negative comments on the Internet.
Director Zheng Sheng's "The Beach" was criticized for being nothing more than a sideshow and a complete bad movie.
If everyone dies together, he can still accept it.
However, "Chinatown" and "Journey to the Road" have become the two movies with the best reputation.
It was simply vomiting blood.
Out of anger, Wang Jinquan has understood that these two movies may have a big impact.
Song Yu, the name itself is valuable.
I have gained fame, and now I have a reputation.
It is estimated that his fans will come out in droves.
And that group of moviegoers will also choose these two movies.
After all, no one would be bored and torture themselves by watching bad movies.
"Why is this happening?"
Wang Jinquan collapsed on the sofa, completely unable to understand.
The songs are well written and the script is also well written.
"Is there any justice left?!"
Wang Jinquan shouted unwillingly.
On the other side, after Song Yu and Zhao Yan watched "Chinatown", they also watched "Unfortunately" and "The Duel".
I haven’t watched the remaining seven movies.
Because the rating is too low.
In terms of Skynet movies, only these three films have scored above 8 points.
It's actually normal.
It is really not easy for a new director, a new team, and insufficient investment to produce excellent works.
And it’s hard to tell for things like movies and TV series.
Even if famous directors ramp up their productions, there are still many people who will fail.
Song Yu's personal feeling is that the filming of "Chinatown" and "A Man on the Road" are no worse than the original works, and are even more detailed.
Although he wants to shoot at a low cost, he doesn't necessarily want to save money.
As for "Duel", Song Yu gave it a score of seven to eight.
It is a qualified war film, but due to investment issues, the scenes are small and not grand enough.
In addition, it is based on real cases, so the plot is relatively satisfactory.
Overall, it doesn't pose much of a threat.
Not to mention the others.
Early the next morning, Song Yu rushed to Xingdong Entertainment and asked someone to bring yesterday's box office data.
After he opened the file, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
What caught my eye was "Chinatown" which ranked first at the box office.
It currently has a box office of 50 million.
Quite amazing.
Especially under the premise that the film schedule is only 10% and the schedule is average.
After two days, the cinema will definitely cut off the schedule of other movies, and by then, the box office will definitely soar.
The second-ranked movie is "Duel" with a box office of 34 million.
It was closely followed by "The Lost Road" with a box office of 32 million. There was only a box office difference of 2 million between the two, which was very close.
The quality of "Duel" is good, and it has the reputation of an ace screenwriter, so it is normal for it to have such a box office.
On the contrary, "People on the Road" is abnormal.
Because no matter how you look at it, there is no possibility of high box office.
The fourth place is Longteng Entertainment's "Shock Beach" with a box office of 11 million.
Then it drops directly to several million.
The last one only has a measly one million, which is really pitiful.
In addition to box office rankings, the information also gives another data.
Attendance rate.
If the number of films scheduled determines the upper limit, then the attendance rate is the guarantee of the lower limit, and it is also the reference standard for cinemas to adjust the number of films scheduled.
However, due to the intervention of the Literary and Art Association, these ten movies have the same number of films, so attendance is particularly important.
Ranking first is "Chinatown Adventure", with an astonishing attendance rate of 75%.
Don't think this number is low, it is already quite scary.
These days, with the development of the economy, there are too many movie theaters.
Apart from that, there is no midnight show, so it is impossible to fill the seats.
In the previous life, "Chinatown 3", which broke 1 billion on its first day, only had an attendance rate of 69.7%, which was the highest since 2015.
The second one is "Unfortunate Road" and "Duel", both with 60%.
On the first day, the attendance rate was on the high side.
Similar to the Spring Festival show, no matter whether it is a bad movie or a good movie, the attendance rate on the first day will not be bad.
The important thing depends on the next day.
If it can still be maintained, it means that the movie's reputation and box office will not be bad.
In the outside world, "Chinatown" caused quite a stir with its 50 million box office on the first day.
Before, many netizens were not optimistic about Song Yu.
But now the tide has completely changed.
A strange hot search appeared on Kanke's hot search list.
[Apologies to Song Yu for his screenwriting skills.]
"Brother Yu, I'm sorry. I was too young and shouldn't have questioned you before."
"Awesome! Really awesome!"
"Idol dramas, martial arts dramas, suspense films and comedies, how come Song Yu can write everything?"
"That's outrageous! I can only say that there are really geniuses in this world!"
Netizens apologized in various ways, and the scene seemed very happy.
But some people laugh and some people cry.
At this time, Zheng Sheng, who was at Longteng Entertainment, was extremely regretful.
Because Song Yu also launched a solicitation for him, but was rejected by him.
Now it seems that the script that seduces Liu Ruoshu and Ning Yizhou is absolutely excellent.
If he agrees, he should enjoy the same glory as the two of them at this time.
It’s just that there is no regret medicine in the world. This chapter has been completed!
