There was a moment of silence in the movie theater.
No one spoke up to discuss the plot, and no one lowered their head while playing with their mobile phones.
They were all staring at the movie screen watching "The Wanderer".
This "Wanderer" seems to have a strange magic touch on everyone's heart.
It's obviously very depressing, so depressing that people can't help but feel sore in their noses. It's obvious that they feel like they can't stand it anymore, but I don't know why the audience continues to stare at the screen.
seem……
Like a virus.
The advertisement for "Wanderer" was very scary during the Spring Festival Gala, but it didn't mention much about the plot. Even on Tomato, there was only a name, a photo, and a few specious plot introductions.
Others?
Okay, nothing else.
At the same time, the packaging of the movie on the Internet before its release was really poor, even worse than most domestic bad movies, and its ranking on Tomato was also very bad, falling out of the top thirty.
At first, fans thought this was definitely another domestically produced bad movie with high publicity and low cost.
After all, your packaging is really unjustifiable.
However, after watching the movie in the cinema, the audience found that it was indeed a well-made movie with many parts of conscience...
The plot is still progressing slowly.
The twenty-minute plot was depressing to the limit, and Lu Yuan's acting skills made a drug addict without any hope so sad that it made people clench their fists.
How could a person sink to such a level...
No self-esteem, no self-confidence, living like a dog.
Just when the audience was about to be unable to bear the sense of depression, a timid stray dog appeared in front of the protagonist Wang Jiaming on a rainy day.
It seemed like a ray of light in the midst of extreme darkness.
After looking at the stray dog, Wang Jiaming waved to it subconsciously.
The suppressed plot seems to be gradually beginning to relax, teasing the audience's mood.
They saw Wang Jiaming smile again, but this smile was not a sarcastic smile, but a real smile from the heart.
This dog is as pitiful as him, as homeless as him, as sad as him...
Unfortunately, he knew that he could not keep this dog alive.
There was nothing he could do.
So, he could only turn around and leave.
However, when Lu Yuan left, the big yellow dog kept following him.
Wherever he goes, there he goes.
"I can't even support myself... let alone you... Don't follow me. If you follow me, you will die..."
When the audience saw this scene, their hearts trembled. They were afraid that Wang Jiaming would abandon the dog and continue to sink into the endless dark world, and then be like the homeless people under the overpass one morning.
Leave this world suddenly.
Although the next plot is still very depressing, there is a sense of warmth in this depression.
There were many interactions between one person and one dog, and the audience found that this inconspicuous big yellow dog was very healing.
Their hearts were melted by this big yellow dog.
At the same time, they saw the changes in Wang Jiaming.
The plot also slowly emerged from the darkness.
In order to feed the dog, Wang Jiaming picked up the guitar that he had not picked up for a long time, and then went to the street to sell songs.
Gradually more and more people listened to his singing.
Everything is cozy.
Wang Jiaming even felt the joy of being respected for the first time, and thought of quitting drugs for the first time.
However, the warmth did not last long, and the movie began to take another turn...
Wang Jiaming was entangled by those drug addicts and was seriously injured...
This scene was very shot, and the audience suddenly remembered the previous video on the Internet.
That video was the plot. When they saw Wang Jiaming being beaten to the ground with blood and blood, and twitching continuously, several little girls with weak endurance started crying on the spot, crying very sadly...
…
The other men looked at these drug addicts with hatred, hating them as never before.
"If I were there, I would kill them!"
"Yes, me too!"
"..."
There were whispers in the cinema...
Wang Jiaming sank into depravity and pain, and all the money he finally earned was robbed by this gang of drug criminals.
The music began to slowly turn sad.
With the sound of music, everyone's tears were once again tricked into tears by Lu Yuan's performance. This was the third time.
"Is this a tragic satire?"
"this……"
"If that's the case, I'll never watch it again."
"Me too……"
Just when all the viewers started to feel bad and speechless, the plot advanced further...
Everything started to take a turn again.
Lu Yuan on the screen is like a messenger walking in darkness and light, displaying his acting skills wantonly.
It always makes people despair, but also makes people hope.
Everyone was conquered by Lu Yuan's acting skills.
This is not an academic school or a theoretical school.
but……
It's enough that they are immersed in this kind of acting.
…………………………
The lights in the screening room came on.
"Wanderer" finally ended with smiles and tears.
The applause sounded like thunder.
After the screening of "The Wanderer" ended, Lu Yuan just fell into a drowsy sleep. When he heard the applause, he subconsciously shivered all over, and then started to applaud indiscriminately.
The whole person seemed to be coping well, and the smile on his face was also fake.
Wang Jinxue was speechless immediately after seeing Lu Yuan's expression. She no longer knew how to describe her mood at the moment.
This person...
It seems there is no hope.
"Lu Yuan, I saw you fell asleep just now. Are you not confident in your movie or why?"
"Yes, Lu Yuan, this is obviously a good movie!"
"Did the actors really fight when you were filming this movie?"
"Are you in pain? I see that you are injured. It should be very painful."
"You're so dedicated. In that video online, I thought it was because of your blood plasma that you didn't feel pain, but now it seems to be true!"
"Is that big yellow dog still there?"
"..."
The movie has finished playing.
All the audience excitedly gathered around Lu Yuan. Several audience members wanted to take a photo with Lu Yuan and asked him for an autograph. Unfortunately, they were stopped by the security guards in time. Lu Yuan patiently answered a few questions.
After asking questions, Wang Jinxue and I left the cinema under the diligent escort of security guards.
After getting in the car, Wang Jinxue suddenly looked at Lu Yuan.
"Now that you have seen the audience's reaction, how big do you think we will be at the box office on the first day this time?"
"Eight million, what about you?"
"Can you be a little more serious? Now is not the time to show off first and then to show off."
"Khan, okay, maybe it will break 10 million?"
"Ten million? More than that. I think this movie may be a hit, and the miracle of "Buried Alive" may happen again."
"Yeah?"
"How about making a bet?" Wang Jinxue looked at Lu Yuan with a smile.
"No gambling... I have no money to lose." Lu Yuan refused without saying a word.
"..."
Wang Jinxue suddenly felt that Lu Yuan might be alone for the rest of his life.
Others are straight men...
He is a straight man.
……………………
At eight o'clock, the two movies "Blood Age" and "Blood" have finished playing.
Tomato’s online reputation and rankings began to see certain changes.
"How is the reputation of "The Age of Blood"?" Shen Lianjie looked up and saw his assistant Xiao Zhang walking in with the latest report, a look of anticipation on his face.
"Word of mouth, well, 8.7 points, which is a good high score."
"Where's Li Changrui's "War Blood"?"
"8.5 points, second only to "The Age of Blood"."
"Oh, where's our reputation?"
"Our score of 8.7 currently has the same reputation as "The Age of Blood."
"What about popularity?"
"Among our three Chinese films, we are ranked third in popularity, but the gap between us and the top two is not far. It can be speculated that the final box office performance of our "Blooming Pinellia" cannot be too bad."
"Oh, that's good."
"What about "The Wanderer"..."
""Wanderer" hasn't been released yet, but based on how strong our three films are, this "Wanderer" will probably be ranked last. After all, there is a movie at the bottom every year. Obviously, this one is at the bottom. The movie can’t be us, after all, how can we be at the bottom with an 8.7?”
"Um."
Shen Lianjie nodded, with a smile on his face.
He breathed a sigh of relief.
He felt like he was emerging from the shadows.
The failure of "Capital" is indeed a failure, but fortunately, "Blooming Pinellia" is not bad in terms of reputation and popularity.
This undoubtedly made Shen Lianjie feel that he had gained some blood.
As for "The Wanderer".
Well, he just asked casually...
He really didn't consider "The Wanderer" as a rival!
After all, in this current battle situation, it is difficult for "Wanderer" to stand out.
Your rating may be high, but your popularity...
How can you possibly match us?
Half past ten...
Half an hour after "The Wanderer" was shown, the assistant suddenly rushed in with data in disbelief.
"It's not good, it's not good!"
"What's wrong? Speak slowly!"
""Wanderer", this "Wanderer" is a blast!"
"What exploded?"
When Shen Lianjie took the data report and looked at the data of "Wanderer", his eyes widened instantly...
"Hold the grass, what an international joke you are kidding!"
…………………………
Before the movie was released, the ranking of "Nomadland" on Tomato was not high, it could even be said to be very low.
But after the movie was released, the movie's score instantly jumped to a score of 9.5, even surpassing last year's high-scoring movie "Buried Alive". As for the ranking, it instantly went from over thirty to a new movie. He reached the top ten, and then quickly climbed from the top ten to eighth place.
The only ones ahead of him are "The Age of Blood", "Blood", "Blooming Pinellia" and three Hollywood blockbusters.
After another half an hour, the ranking of "Wanderer" started to go crazy again, flying from eighth to fifth place, even far ahead of Shen Lianjie's "Blooming Pinellia". A big chunk...
There were tens of thousands of comments below in an instant. Except for a few other Internet trolls, at first glance, they were all positive reviews, and the positive review rate had even reached over 95%.
At the same time, the popularity of this movie on Tomato.com has also reached the first place in the popularity list and the third place in the potential list in just a few hours. This movie is on almost all the lists that Tomato.com can list...
This operation undoubtedly shocked many people in the industry.
They previously thought that the reputation of "The Wanderer" would not be too bad, but they never expected that the reputation of "Wanderer" would be so good. Moreover, the reputation is not only the reputation of the movie, but also the popularity of the movie!
You know, this movie is not a comedy, let alone an action movie, it is an out-and-out literary film!
What is the concept of art film?
Generally speaking, they are niche films that are praised but not sold out. Except for a very few movies, they generally live at the bottom of the popularity ladder and rely on the secondary consumption of die-hard movie fans to make up for the box office.
Although their box office is not starving, they have never had any big hits.
But "Wanderer" breaks this almost ironclad rule.
wrong!
Not only "The Wanderer", but also last year's "Buried Alive" also broke this rule, unreasonably gaining a large number of die-hard popularity and incredible box office revenue...
