Zhang Zhong went to see "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" alone in the afternoon. Although the cinema near their home was relatively small and relatively remote, it was not that easy to buy tickets for this movie.
The movie ticket was bought last night together with "The Soul-Breaking Gun". When he bought "The Soul-Breaking Gun", he could choose the seat at will, but for "The Bionic Man", he could only choose the seats near the back and the side.
After arriving at the movie theater, without looking carefully, you can see at a glance that the audience structure is very different from that of "The Soul-Breaking Gun". The first few rows are basically occupied by those couples.
In fact, Zhang Zhong feels that the movie "The Bionic Man" is not suitable for couples to watch, but after all, it is a commercial blockbuster and has been well promoted. Many couples will probably watch it as a popcorn movie.
In fact, after going through Firmino's hands, the movie did become more popcorn.
Just as Firmino had the same idea when he first read the original novel, he believed that the movie should add more love elements, because love is definitely an important factor that distinguishes humans and androids.
And movies are not like novels. If there is nothing intuitive and easy to understand, the audience may lose interest quickly.
Although love is old-fashioned, it is always practical.
Firmino was very clever in adding love elements into the movie, not too much. He also knew that Zhang Zhong has a lot of fans and there are many people who like this book. Even if he wants to make some adaptations for the movie box office, it can't be too big.
Make fans disgusted.
In general, the love element added is also to explore the difference between bionics and humans, and it is not just love for the sake of love.
After watching the movie, Zhang Zhong admired Firmino very much.
Today, he saw the talents of the two directors.
For example, [567中文www.yue20.com] If Guan Bao's films are to express his artistic pursuits, then Firmino's films are the perfect combination of business and plot, a technique that is astonishingly wonderful.
However, Zhang Zhong still does not think that the box office of this movie can reach the level of "The Last Starfish". On the one hand, for the Lunar New Year movie, such a movie is relatively disadvantageous. On the other hand, even if Firmino has made a commercial film
Consider this, but the overall tone of this movie is still on the gloomy side. It may become a science fiction classic, but it may not be able to get too high a box office.
In fact, as Zhang Zhong expected, the movie's first-day box office was only 270 million Chinese dollars, which was a good result, but not amazing.
At that time, the first-day box office of "The Last Starfish Man" reached 358 million, a difference of nearly 100 million.
As for the box office situation in other countries, it is not known yet, because China is the first to be released this time, and the movie will not be released in North America until two weeks later.
After being released in North America, it will be released in other countries one after another.
What is surprising is that, as a feature film, "The Soul-Breaking Gun" actually took in a box office of 32 million on the first day. Looking at the movie's reputation, it should be easy to break through 100 million in the first week, maybe only
In one week, the movie can recover its cost.
…
On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, the family did not visit relatives because they had agreed that Qin Cheng and his son would come over today.
In addition to Qin Cheng and his son, Zhang Zhong also invited Chen Qing, Zhao Re and others.
Chen Qing and the others had said before that they would come to visit in the first month of the year, so they happened to take advantage of Qin Cheng's arrival and asked them to come together.
Zhao Re came first, while Chen Qing went to the airport to pick up Qin Cheng and his son.
It was not until almost eleven o'clock that Chen Qing and Qin Cheng and his son arrived at Zhang's house.
Looking at the large and small packages of gifts carried by Qin Cheng and his son, Zhang Zhong smiled and said, "It's not easy to come all the way. Why bring so many things?"
"A little bit of your heart, a little bit of your heart." Qin Cheng said with a smile.
Zhang Zhong welcomed them into the house, and his parents came out of the kitchen to greet the guests.
Since it was their first meeting, Zhang Zhong introduced him to his parents. After saying hello, the old couple went to the kitchen again.
Pengpeng and Qin Zhao had met several times. After seeing Qin Zhao, she said with a smile, "Brother Qin Zhao, why haven't you grown up yet? I'm almost as tall as you."
"Why are you talking? It's impolite." Zhang Zhong scolded him. He knew that Pengpeng definitely didn't mean anything else, but it was inappropriate to say this.
"I'm sorry." After being told by her father, Pengpeng apologized aggrievedly.
"It's okay, it's okay, Zhao Zhao really hasn't grown much. Long time no see, Peng Peng has grown a lot." Qin Cheng said to smooth things over.
Qin Zhao is indeed not tall, but it is normal for boys to grow slower at first. And what Peng Peng said is too exaggerated. She is still a long way from Qin Zhao's height.
Those who came today are all acquaintances. When Qin Cheng and others came to Jiangyang for the first time to meet Zhang Zhong, Chen Qing and Zhao Re were both there.
"You must be tired from the journey. It's winter. Logically speaking, we should go to Luzhou. It would be better for you to leave Luzhou alone when the weather is so nice and go to Jiangyang to suffer." Zhang Zhong poured tea for them.
While joking.
"How can you call it suffering? There is nothing good about Luzhou. There is not much change throughout the year, so it is not interesting."
Qin Chengcheng said this every year, but it is true that they like to see snow.
Zhao Re said with a smile, "This is called not being satisfied. You don't know how many people hope to live in Luzhou."
"Hehe, aren't people just dissatisfied? The same goes for people here. Winter is too cold, summer is too hot, autumn is too bleak, and spring is unevenly cold and it's easy to catch a cold." Chen Qing also laughed.
"Mr. Chen is right, people are indeed dissatisfied. Just talk about me. I have had some delusions recently and want to bring Zhaozhao and the others to live in Jiangyang."
Qin Zhao suddenly brought the topic to this, and the others, including Zhang Zhong, were stunned.
Zhao Re said, "Brother Qin, are you kidding me?"
"No, I'm very serious. We don't have much concern in Luzhou, and Zhao Zhao has stayed in school for several years. I heard that Nanhuai can skip grades here, so I wanted to bring him here." Qin Cheng looked serious.
said.
Zhang Jian nodded, and what Qin Cheng said can indeed be regarded as a reason. However, Luzhou cannot skip a grade, and other nearby provinces can also do so. It is not necessarily necessary to come to Jiangyang, after all, it is too far away from Luzhou.
But then I thought about it, if they really want to move, Jiangyang is indeed the best choice for Qin Cheng and the others.
In this era, since you have decided to move, there is not much difference between moving across one province and across several provinces.
And there are Zhang Zhong and the others in Jiangyang, and Qin Cheng and the others are some acquaintances here, and they are close to the company, which is also good for Qin Zhao. If there are publishing matters in the future, he will not have to travel back and forth.
