The movie continued to be shown, and Wu Yusen no longer paid attention to the complaints from individual viewers, and seriously watched his movie again as an audience member.
However, gradually more and more people complained. Even if they were not very loud, there were more than a thousand people present and there was no way Wu Yusen could not hear them.
"Wang Xiaoming really can't stand it anymore. He is acting cool from the beginning to the end. The Guo army is acting cool when fighting the Japanese army, he is acting cool when returning home in triumph, he is acting cool when fighting a civil war, and he is still acting cool when he is surrounded.
Acting cool is really hopeless!"
"They are all playing soldiers, but they are not as good as the Japanese and Japanese military officers in "Assembly"."
"Wang Xiaoming's beard is so ugly. It's far worse than my Jin Chengwu."
"The bangs are really drunk. Nagasawa's face shape can only be parted in the middle, okay!"
"It's so boring. Each of the several lines is so boring. It would be great if the power went out at this time, so I wouldn't have to watch it."
"After two hours of acting in a war movie full of flaws, I might as well go back and watch the anti-Japanese drama. At least I can laugh and relax while watching it."
"It's finally over. This first part of the co-writing is just a foreplay, and the boat appears at the end, and there's also a hammer!"
"Nima, isn't this the equivalent of two hours of protracted foreplay and not allowing anyone in at the end? It's really a rip-off."
"The only good thing is that Yu Zhen's face is not as long on the big screen. Although it's a bit uncomfortable, it still looks better."
"I'm convinced. It's the same as "Red Cliff", the second half only gets to the point."
"This split into two parts is definitely just to steal money. I almost want to sleep."
"I was already asleep, but I was woken up twice by the explosions."
"A good film must be divided into two parts. Wu Baige is trying to kill himself. If his films continue to be like this, there is no need to watch them. Just watch the second part."
...
We were promised "Titanic" and "Titanic" from the East, but it turned out to be a two-hour war movie. The ship didn't come out until it was almost over. The audience's feelings at this moment can only be described in one sentence.
:What a mess!
The strong dissatisfaction made the audience no longer lower their voices. There were complaints everywhere, and the curses reached the ears of the creators in the front row.
Wu Yusen's face started to change color from halfway through the movie. Later, the audience complained more and more, and the voice gradually became louder. It was difficult not to hear it.
Wu Yusen listened to the complaints from the audience behind him, his face turned livid, and he tightly grasped the armrest of the chair with his right hand. He didn't get up on stage until someone reminded him, and then he got up and went on stage to thank the audience.
However, no matter how sincere the remarks made during the scene, it could not change the fact that the audience was dissatisfied with the movie. The complaints still did not stop until the audience left the scene, each one still pointing out the flaws in the movie and spouting national curse words from time to time.
The female audience came to see a romance movie, but ended up watching a war movie.
It’s not that male audiences cannot accept war movies. As long as they are well-made, war movies are more likely to make their blood boil.
But no, the details of the war were terrible, not even as good as "The Thirteen Years of Jinling". The scenes of the war scenes did not make the audience very excited, only full of embarrassment.
Neither the male nor female audience members were pleased, not to mention that the big ship only appeared at the end, so it’s no wonder the audience reacted so loudly.
...
Wu Yusen, several investors, and the film's creators also looked unhappy when they left.
Although the reaction of the audience at the scene cannot represent all audiences across the country, it is still representative to a certain extent. At least the reputation of future movies will not be very good.
But now is not the time to destroy one's own prestige, so everyone still starts to celebrate.
"Congratulations to Director Wu on a successful premiere, and I wish you a great box office success!"
"Actually, it's a good thing to have debates. When there are debates, there will be topics. When there are topics, there will be popularity, which can attract audiences to the cinema."
"That's right, most of the movies that sell well at the box office are controversial. You see, "Tiny Times" has been criticized by people everywhere on the Internet, but it is still a big hit. If it hadn't been for Ke Zhendong's incident, the box office might not have been the same.
It will be higher!”
"Comments on the Internet can be guided. Nowadays, the atmosphere on the Internet is getting worse and worse, and the audience's hostility is getting worse. Every movie has a lot of negative comments. If you look at some of the comments on the Internet, there will be no one."
You can watch the movie now.”
...
Everyone was talking about it. In fact, they felt that the reaction of the audience only showed that these audiences were not very satisfied, and it had no decisive impact on the box office.
There are many movies that have been criticized and then become hits, and this is in the popular Lunar New Year period. With the popularity of "The Wheel", the box office will not be small no matter what.
Moreover, online comments can be guided and controlled. As long as you pay enough, you can suppress some of the comments and then brush up the good reviews. As long as the entire network is not blackmailed, it is acceptable.
Wu Yusen felt a little more relieved. He also understood the current movie market. As long as the publicity and distribution are in place and the movie is popular enough, the box office will not be bad.
Huayi, Lay's, and China Film are responsible for marketing and controlling public opinion. With their own appeal, the popularity of the actors, and the movie itself, there will be no problem at the box office.
However, it must have had some impact. Wu Yusen is now not so confident in his original goal of 1.5 billion.
"A box office of over 1 billion is almost enough." Wu Yusen thought to himself.
...
As a popular Lunar New Year blockbuster, "The Wheel" received a lot of news coverage and exposure on the first day it was released.
As time goes by, various film reviews and comments can be seen everywhere in major forums and post bars.
""Taiping Wheel" is a hit, and the war scenes are shocking!"
"On the first day of the release of "Peace Wheel", all the major cinemas in Beijing were sold out, and the atmosphere was as exciting as the Spring Festival!"
"Stars gathered at the premiere of "The Wheel" and Wang Xiaoming's tear-jerking acting was praised!"
...This was the headline from major media outlets on the first day of release.
Every time a popular movie arrives, some marketing accounts, big Vs, and film critics are also reaping the rewards, and valuable film reviews spread like snowflakes to every corner of the Internet.
""The Wheel" is the best domestic film I have seen this year. It is the kind of film with grand scenes, delicate emotions, and not a single wasted shot or a wasted line. I like the love in the war years the most, the most loyal, more
Life is still long. Wu Yusen deserves to be a great international director. "The Wheel" took two years to shoot and cost 400 million, and the quality is worth it."
""Peace Wheel" - deep love buried under cruel flesh and blood: the film intersperses three delicate emotions in the war and sorts them out layer by layer. The war scenes are grand and majestic, as rich as oil paint, while the love scenes are as clear and delicate as water.
It is eloquently told, layers of oil and water are blended and spliced through Wu Yusen's lens, and the overall style of the movie is like a peaceful and warm love buried deep under the curtain of a war-torn and displaced era."
"Instead of giving your life to war, it is better to give it to love. It doesn't have to be grand, a longing is enough to support the courage to live. Love in war is so delicate that it is touching, especially the section of the Snow Window Waltz, which is worthy of
It is called a rare classic among modern romance films!"
...
On the morning of the first day of release, most of the online reviews were positive, and long reviews were spread to more netizens through marketing accounts and big Vs.
More and more netizens were tricked into entering the cinema, but at night, more and more people watched the movie, and the reputation gradually became unsustainable and tended to collapse.
"Wu Yusen only has to fly pigeons. In addition to flying pigeons, Ma De can do anything else."
"Once again, I was fooled into the cinema by a marketing account. How much did these film critics pretending to be cultural people charge? Can you bring me one next time? At least I can earn back the money from the movie tickets!"
"The 3D effects are completely deceptive, and the purpose is just to make money. The plot is protracted and long-winded. Many scenes are very boring and could have been cut. It is also obvious that the time is deliberately extended, just like the elementary school writing essay deliberately made up 600 words."
"I brought tissues with me. I originally wanted to have a good cry, but it turned out that Wu Baige, what the hell are you filming? I ate all the popcorn in the first twenty minutes, went out and bought two more buckets, and still couldn't finish it.
Can’t sleep and can’t sleep!”
"What a rip-off, where is the promised epic? Where is the promised disaster? This war movie is worse than "Armageddon"!"
"There's nothing more to say. Well, it's just 127 minutes of foreplay and 2 minutes of boating. I guess this is really a reflection of Wu Baige himself."
...
Wu Yusen has been paying attention to the comments on the Internet. During the day, he was relieved to see good reviews everywhere. Unexpectedly, at night, the reputation dropped sharply. He randomly clicked on a related website and forum, and almost half of them
All are negative reviews.
Wu Yusen's heart suddenly became excited again. He refreshed the Nuomi movie at ten o'clock in the evening and got real-time data.
30.5 million...
He was busy promoting during the day, and in order not to affect his condition, Wu Yusen did not go to the box office since noon.
Although he was mentally prepared, the first-day box office of 29.5 million still left Wu Yusen in a daze.
This is a super blockbuster, with a famous director and stars, but the box office on the first day was only 29.5 million?
"impossible!"
Wu Yusen shouted softly in an unconfident tone.
However, this is only a rough statistic. Wu Yusen held a glimmer of hope and waited for the data from the publisher shortly after twelve o'clock.
32 million, which is 2.5 million more, but there is no substantial difference between the two. For this blockbuster with an investment of 400 million, it is already considered a failure.
At about the same time, major companies in the industry also received the most accurate data.
The first-day box office of 32 million is undoubtedly a very good figure for ordinary directors, but for Wu Yusen and "The Wheel", it is definitely a disastrous failure.
Another famous director has fallen.
Senior executives of several major companies sighed in unison.
Feng Xiaogang jumped on the street continuously, Zhang Yimou was tepid, Chen Kai almost fell into the sewer, and now Wu Yusen also jumped on the street. Every famous director in the past is finished.
