Chapter 183 Box Office Breaks 100 Million on the First Day
In addition to Zhou Liming, another famous film critic also attracted Wang Shang's attention - Shi Wenhong, the editor-in-chief of "Watching Movies", one of China's top ten film magazines.
Like Zhou Liming, he will basically focus on Wang Shang's movies as soon as possible and quickly send his own movie reviews.
He said in his movie review: "It is undoubtedly one of the few excellent movies in recent years. It is a racing-themed movie that makes adrenaline surge and makes you feel happy after watching it. The movie tightly captures all kinds of exciting points, whether it is
The excitement of chasing and escaping with police and criminals, the joy of getting money, the happiness of husband and wife/brotherhood, as well as the crazy street meteor hammer that challenges the limits, and the crazy car smashing behavior, have attracted countless movie fans.
Shocked! Applauded for it! Cheered for it!!”
Wang Shangzai read the reviews from other film critics and found that they were basically all positive reviews.
In addition to professional film critics, the film reviews from ordinary people made Wang Shang even more amused.
"The moment Hua Qiang rode on the boulder and slammed the wrench into the ground, the boulder knew that he had fallen deeply in love with this man..."
"The world belongs to muscular men, the world belongs to motors, ten-ton vaults and supercars, bikinis and beauties with perky butts. If you have a wheat-skinned BOSS aura and well-developed biceps, then come on, the adrenaline is off the charts
Dedicated series. Teamwork and urban atmosphere, character aura and sexy soundtrack, you are the best this winter!!"
"It's so numb! I just left the cinema and got in the car. I was so excited that I couldn't help but step on the accelerator and then...then I hit the tree! Tears running away~~~ This story tells us about this kind of movie
Don’t drive after watching this.”
After Wang Shang finished reading the film review of "The Fast and the Furious", he turned to the film review of "The Promise" again.
The first is the comments on the official website, where countless moviegoers and fans gather.
As soon as he entered, Wang Shang saw that the entire official website was in an extremely popular state. Professional IP traffic query revealed that there were more than 800,000 netizens gathered here at this time.
After clicking on the forum page, there are shocking groups of posts everywhere.
"Wuji? It's so boring. The domineering name 'Wuji' is really blinding!!"
"I have been looking forward to it since the year before last. I didn't expect that after waiting for two years, I got this result. I am so disappointed!!"
"The dubbing of international friends is very funny; there are so many bugs in the plot that it insults people's intelligence; why not just not classify it as an adult film and put it in a children's film."
"A big bad movie with big investment..."
It can be said that the forum is full of curses, and the entire page has been occupied by these curse posts.
These movie fans are also very angry. They have been waiting for two years and thought that a great movie would be released. However, what they waited for was indeed a bad movie.
"It's just a bad movie. Comparing it to other movies. It's embarrassing. Not only is it embarrassing for the movie, but it's also embarrassing for the fans like me!"
Wang Shang looked at it while eating melon seeds and smiling proudly.
Then he closed the forum and opened MTime. Wang Shang saw the conspicuous score of 5.3. It was very gratifying.
Wang Shang was so proud that he began to read the reviews of film critics.
Some film critics were very direct and said unceremoniously: "I feel that this movie would be better if it was only as long as the trailer. If the characters didn't speak, it might avoid the screenwriter's weakness and the script's paleness. Those scenes should be meaningful.
, but it seems so blunt and gorgeous. Those lines should have a purpose. But it sounds so funny."
"The outfits are really weird. Although the Chinese generals have colorful uniforms, their armors are very powerful as a positive display. I have never seen any armor with flowers. Oh, the costume design is Japanese, no wonder."
"There is basically no plot, it is just empty show of force and nonsense. Needless to say, all the emotions are untouchable, all the grudges are trivial, all the killings are unnecessary, and the so-called magic is just pretending to be a ghost."
Wang Shang stopped reading after reading a few comments. He estimated that the awesome Chairman Huang Zelang would vomit three liters of blood.
Just as Wang Shang thought, Huang Zelang, like Wang Shang, had long started to pay attention to the performance of his big investment "The Promise", and also incidentally paid attention to the performance of his damn rival "Fast and Furious".
He scrolled through the thousands of posts on the official website forum, with tens of thousands of replies, and almost made him, a man of extreme forbearance and a wealthy man, so angry that he vomited blood!
Then he went to MTime to read it without giving up, hoping that the professional reviews on MTime would bring him good news.
open the Web page……
5.3 points!!
Extremely dazzling!!!
When I saw it, I was so angry that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven.
Bang!!! Huang Zelang threw a cup in his hand directly, and bang! It shattered on the ground!
A group of people outside the office were trembling with fear.
"It's okay, it's okay, maybe "Fast and Furious" is also bad!!" With this thought, Huang Zelang's hands were trembling as he searched for "Fast and Furious" on the MTime website...
That dazzling 9.8 points!!!
The first comment he saw was: "Want to compete with "The Fast and the Furious" at the box office even though "The Promise" scored 5.4? Hurry up and admit defeat!!"
boom!!
Bang!!!
After a series of terrifying sounds of things being thrown, the office fell into silence again. The people who originally wanted to ask the boss for a signature or something did not dare to show up at this time and hurried away...
The next day, December 25th, Sunday...
Early in the morning, Wang Shang received a call from Tang Zongshi: "Ah Shang, congratulations!! That annoying Huang Zelang has offended someone."
Wang Shang was curious after hearing this: "Did you offend someone? What happened?"
"Haha, maybe he was unlucky. When he drove out last night, he drove too fast and hit a tree. I heard he was in a coma."
"Haha, it's really his character that's bad! I can finally take a breather. To be honest, I'm always being chased and bitten by the mangy dog. I'm also very distressed. Now that he's like this, I feel relieved."
"Yes, I hate mangy dogs too, haha."
The two chatted about other things. Tang Zongshi was extremely envious of Wang Shang's current movie "The Fast and the Furious" and insisted that Wang Shang treat him to dinner and give him a good meal.
Wang Shang is naturally very proud. This movie was adapted by Wang Shang based on the movie from the past time and space. Not only has the plot been perfected, but the special effects in various scenes are also very good. It is a very successful commercial film.
Wang Shang and his parents finished breakfast. At 9 o'clock, the entertainment newspaper Wang Shang ordered was finally delivered.
You don’t need to guess to know that “The Fast and the Furious” and “The Promise” will dominate the front pages of most entertainment newspapers.
As expected, Wang Shang flipped through about eight newspapers. Five were about "The Fast and the Furious", one was about "The Promise", and two were comparing the two movies.
"There are racing cars, gun battles, strong men fighting, beauties and beach style, there are helpers with different characteristics like the Arhat series, and there are intermittent jokes. The whole film is filled with manly wildness and toughness. Watch
It makes people excited! This is the best gift this winter, it makes me temporarily forget the coldness of winter." - "Oriental Entertainment Daily"
"The continuous action scenes, intensive bombing and occasional sneers will make you happy. When you see the wind and listen to the roar of the engine, who will have the leisure to think about other things? This kind of real car handling
The crashing scene was so enjoyable! And the final penny and the happy ending were thrilling enough!!" - "China Film News"
"This is a movie with elements from various countries. It has a regular cast of foreign stars and a lot of foreign-style background tunes, especially the song at the end of the movie. Although I don't know what it is. I don't know what it is.
Which country is it from, but I feel great!!" - "Entertainment Express"
"This is a movie with the broadest censorship standards. There are gangs, guns, police stations colluding with gangsters, and the robbers have won. This is something that has never been seen in the history of mainland movies. But it is also thanks to such a wide censorship standard.
, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to enjoy this movie that reminds me of this movie but still can’t help but make my blood boil!” - "Entertainment Media News"
The "Magic City Star News" even joked: "Don't drive to see this movie, otherwise you will not be able to help but drive a car after watching the movie."
Looking at the reports on "The Promise", most of them are negative. They also mentioned the 200 million bet and commented: "The Promise" is a sure loser.
Some media also mentioned the car accident involving Chairman Huang Zelang of Southeast Film and Television Group last night, commenting: Maybe he was stimulated by "The Promise", maybe he wanted to lose a 20,000 bet.
However, Wang Shang's blacklisted newspaper "Star Entertainment News" did not report negatively on "The Promise". Instead, it defended "The Promise" in a few words. However, it did not dare to say too much good things about "The Promise" for fear of being criticized by newspaper users.
Scolding. As for "The Fast and the Furious", it can be seen that it is trying to find faults, saying that many characters are not connected enough, the plot is not solid, etc. Wang Shang naturally does not bother to pay attention to such comments.
The next step is to wait for the box office data to come out, and domestic media, whether entertainment media or non-entertainment media, are already waiting eagerly.
The box office in Europe, the United States, Japan, South Korea, and other foreign regions has different statistical methods and the various relationships are complicated, so it will be much later to truly calculate it.
At around 2 p.m. that day, the third-party box office statistics finally came out.
Yesterday (December 24) the single-day box office in China was as follows:
At the top of the list is - "Fast and Furious"!!
The box office on the first day was RMB 101 million!!
After Wang Shangyi saw this number, he almost threw the cup out!!
"Why are you so awesome!!!"
"The highest single-day box office record in the previous time and space in 2013 only exceeded 130 million. It was set by "Iron Man 3". Is this time and space really going to go against the grain?!"
Wang Shang stared at this number blankly, feeling a kind of joy in his soul!!
