Chapter 861 The box office of low opening and flat sales
"Westward Journey" started with a box office of just over RMB 60 million on its first day.
The subsequent box office trend surprised many people.
Because it follows an upward straight line.
On the second day of release, the box office revenue was 82 million!
On the third day, 91 million!
On the fourth day, 99 million!
On the fifth day, 120 million!
The amount of discussions and topics about "Westward Journey" has been soaring.
Media reports have also begun to change.
The media reports on the first day were as follows:
""Westward Journey" was poorly received on its first day of release, with only 68 million in receipts, setting a new box office low for Li Yi's commercial films!"
""Westward Journey" failed in the first battle of its merger plan, with less than RMB 70 million in box office on the first day!"
"Li Yi's new work "Westward Journey" had a sluggish box office on its first day of release. Let's wait and see whether it can make a beautiful curve!"
"The first-day box office of "Westward Journey" was far below expectations, and fans complained that the film's plot was confusing and obscure!"
But the media reports after the fifth day became like this:
""Westward Journey" opened low and then went high, and the reputation it has accumulated for many days has exploded. Fans call it the best comedy movie!"
"Who is the Supreme Treasure? Who is Zixia? Who is Bai Jingjing? We are all! - "Westward Journey"
"Laughing, crying, and then silence - my thoughts after watching "Westward Journey"!"
"A heart-wrenching comedy, a movie that will make you laugh and cry!"
""Westward Journey" pays homage to our youth and our lost love!"
The short comments from movie fans are the most intuitive reflection.
"Although flowers will wither, they will bloom again. The love of my life is looming outside the white clouds. Love and hate are stirred up in the sea of suffering. It is difficult to escape fate in this world. Blind dates are inaccessible, or I should believe that it is fate."
"Why does it make me sadder the more I look at it?"
"Sitting in the cinema, some people are laughing, some are crying, and some are sitting silently. This is an endlessly memorable movie!"
"When the purple clouds floated towards the sun, when the Monkey King left the city gate, they all cried like idiots. How lucky I am to be able to step on the colorful auspicious clouds and be your unparalleled hero, how regretful I am that I can't protect you for the rest of my life. I like it.
Is it Jingjing from five hundred years ago, or Zixia who gave herself three moles? Is it the Supreme Treasure that loves and hates without restraint, or is it the Sun Wukong who is like a dog with a curse on his back? After all, the proposition of love is too broad, I’m afraid it still needs to be
Give it to the Moonlight Treasure Box."
"I never knew what she left in my heart. It turned out to be a drop of tear. The moment the answer was revealed, I burst into tears. Once upon a time, was there a girl in your heart who left a drop of tear?"
"The man sitting next to me, who is nearly forty years old and wearing a suit and ties, couldn't stop crying from the beginning of the movie. He cried and laughed out loud in some parts. And his young female companion kept her head down playing with her mobile phone from the beginning to the classic scenes.
I just took a photo in a serious manner, and within half the time I kept shouting that I was bored, and just dragged the man away. I couldn’t help but want to laugh and cry at the same time!”
"It seems that I really can't understand it the first time. Maybe I don't have enough experience. I will watch it a second time and a third time... I will come again after I understand it."
"What touched me the most was when Sun Wukong turned around and walked away, Zixia and Wukong's incarnation pointed at his back and said, does he look like a dog? I burst into tears for no reason on the spot."
"You think you are laughing, but actually you will cry after laughing."
As more and more movie fans begin to delve deeper, begin to interpret, begin to understand, begin to understand.
A trend called "Westward Journey" began to sweep across.
The lines in the movie have also begun to be quoted repeatedly by countless netizens on the Internet.
There was once a love...
