Chapter 199: Defying Word of Mouth

Early the next morning, Li Yi got up and was lazy.

After a tiring day yesterday, I let him sleep until dawn.

He walked out of the study and saw no one in the living room, thinking that this girl hadn't gotten up yet.

Li Yi walked into the bathroom in a daze and looked in the mirror.

"Still so handsome."

After Li Yi sighed with emotion, he prepared to wash his face.

Um?

Why is there something red on my cheek?

Li Yi applied it on. Based on his experience in opening a makeup station, he seemed to recognize that it was lipstick.

"I go."

Li Yi's first reaction was that there was lipstick on the pillow in the study!

"She must have put on lipstick and accidentally got it on the pillow. It's disgusting." Li Yi complained and washed it off with water.

When he walked out of the bathroom and saw that Cheng Yajie hadn't gotten up yet, he cooked a breakfast and put it on the table. He knocked on her bedroom door and said, "Hey, breakfast is on the table. I have to film a movie, so I'll leave first!"

But there was no response from the bedroom.

Li Yi thought she was not awake yet, so she left a message on WeChat and left immediately.

Cheng Yajie, who was lying on the bed at this time, looked at the messages on her phone and couldn't help but chuckle when she remembered her experience of sneaking into the study last night.

There are many netizens who get up early like Li Yi.

Many movie fans went online to check yesterday's movie release data.

"Come on, let's see who has the highest box office for the movie released yesterday."

"It must be "Happiness Next Stop"! Hehe, I think this foreign movie is quite good."

"Am I the only one who thinks "Mermaid" is good?"

“You’ll know just by looking at the box office!”

On Weibo, there was an official announcement of yesterday’s box office.

Many people couldn't help but exclaimed when they saw it.

Box office shows: "The Day After Tomorrow" has a box office of 56 million.

"Next Stop Happiness" has a box office of 43 million.

"Mermaid" grossed 33 million at the box office.

Many netizens want to see where Director Zhang's "Hero" ranks.

"Hero" grossed 15 million at the box office.

All of a sudden, many netizens were ridiculing on Weibo.

[Sure enough, it was a flash in the pan!!! On the first day, everyone was aiming for Zhang Yimou’s fame, the joining of giants such as Jet Li and Zhang Manyu, and the new generation of traffic niche Li Yi, thinking that they could win the box office, but it turned out to be a failure. ]

[Indeed, there is a saying that Director Zhang’s film this time is not very good.]

[Am I the only one who thinks "Hero" is great?]

At this time, a well-known film review blogger posted a long article analyzing the recent box office performance of movies.

[I like the poster of "The Day After Tomorrow" very much. Under the dark blue sky covered with clouds, there is an endless expanse of white snow. Between the sky and the earth, the tall buildings standing like ice sculptures are crystal clear. It is like a fairy tale. This is a science fiction disaster.

film, I think with this kind of visual impact, there is no reason for it not to be a hit!

As for "Mermaid", everyone yearns for such a beautiful fairy tale, so to be ranked in the top three, I think it is already very impressive.

Oh, someone asked me to analyze "Hero". I can only say that after watching it once, I didn't understand it. However, Director Zhang's movies always have their own unique features. Maybe he didn't intend to use them in this movie.

Are you here to sell box office?】

In some movie theaters, managers and employees are having this conversation.

The manager looked at the computer screen and frowned: "What was the attendance rate of "Heroes" yesterday?"

After checking the data, employee Xiao Liu explained: "10.6%"

The manager thought for a while and shook his head: "Let's lower the film schedule again! Allocate the grade of "Hero" to other movies with high attendance, such as "The Day After Tomorrow", which the audience likes to watch."

Xiao Liu nodded: "Okay."

And in another movie theater.

The manager also asked his employees: "Yesterday, the film schedule of "Hero" was 7.3%, right?"

Employee Yunzi nodded: "Yes, manager, the attendance rate is 9.3%."

The manager also shook his head: "You can reduce the film schedule to 5%. If the attendance rate is still less than 10% in the next two days, then just withdraw it. Art films are not easy to sell."

Employee Yunzi: "Okay."

When the box office of "Heroes" dropped sharply, major cinemas began to re-schedule the film, and they chose to compress the film's schedule.

The manager cursed: "What's the use of artistic films? It's not like they can't be sold for money!"

It is basically impossible for "Hero" to turn around with such a schedule.

In the next two days, "Hero" accounted for only 6% of the movie schedules in various theaters. And most of them were in small studios that could only seat a few dozen people.

Laser cinema halls that seat hundreds of people are all occupied by blockbusters.

Li Lianjie felt panicked as he watched the box office keep falling.

He picked up his cell phone and called Li Yi.

"Hey, Xiaoyi, why is our drama "Hero" not popular?" Jet Li was a little confused.

Indeed, Director Zhang's unique shooting techniques can be said to be very advanced, and the large-scale production and large scenes can be regarded as top-notch configurations for blockbusters.

Li Yi comforted Jet Li: "Brother Jie, it's okay, believe me, the reputation of this movie will definitely be good."

"Real or false?" Li Lianjie was a little confused.

Li Yi smiled and explained: "Don't worry, time will prove everything, and our acting skills have been well received by netizens."

Li Lianjie became speechless, "That's you, your Ying Zheng. To be honest, I felt a little panicked when I saw it."

After Li Yi hung up the phone, she continued filming.

Li Lianjie was bored, so he logged on to Douban.com.

Douban can be said to be the most prestigious movie rating network in China, and netizens there have also begun to rate these movies.

Since Douban's movie ratings are very authoritative in the industry, generally speaking, movies with good reputations are spread by word of mouth.

First, he watched "The Day After Tomorrow".

He took his wife and children to watch this movie. It was a very good disaster movie.

I saw on Douban that it showed: "The Day After Tomorrow", with a score of 7.8.

"Well, it's pretty good." Li Lianjie nodded.

On Douban, any movie that gets a seven-point rating can be considered good.

This score can be said to be quite high, enough to be considered excellent among commercial blockbusters.

And there are already thousands of comments on the page.

"One thing to say, "The Day After Tomorrow" was shot really well. I was very nervous while watching it. I thought about what I would do if the world ended one day in the future?"

"Yes, we really need to protect the environment."

""The Day After Tomorrow" should be the most awesome disaster movie this year."

Jet Li quickly read other movie ratings.

"The Next Stop of Happiness" has a Douban score of 5.5.

"To be honest, it really didn't look good. I wanted to sleep several times."

"Yeah, it's really not okay to talk about one thing and the other."

"The plot content is something you will forget after watching it."

Li Lianjie saw that their comments were objective, and soon he searched for "Hero" on Douban.

Click in and take a look.

Li Lianjie was stunned and couldn't believe it for a moment.

“It’s rated 8 points?!”
