It was not just Jet Li who saw the ratings, but also a young director.
This young director made a youth-themed movie, although it didn't do well at the box office.
But he had a schadenfreude mentality. He saw that director Zhang, who was a national teacher, had a movie with a box office similar to his own.
Although he has always felt that the movie "Hero" can bring about a lot of fusion of ideas.
But when he saw the score of 8 points, his eyes widened.
"Impossible, how is this possible! Damn it, is this too high? 4.9 is not bad."
Hu Kaizhi was very puzzled. His movie's box office was obviously not much worse than "Hero", but why did it get a score of 1.8?
He stared closely at the ratings of "Hero" on Douban, with strong anger in his eyes.
If this movie's rating were an ordinary 6 or 7, Hu Kaizhi would not feel that angry.
After all, Director Zhang's reputation is there. Even if he makes one or two bad movies, it still has a celebrity effect.
This 8 points is really exaggerated!
It ranked sixth at the box office in the same period, and the film schedule has been reduced a lot, so how can it still have such a high score?
What kind of international joke are you kidding?
What is the concept of a 9-point movie?
Douban movie scoring standards: 6 points is considered ordinary, 7 points is considered good, 8 points is considered classic, and 9 points is considered epic!
Nowadays, there are more than thousands of movies on Douban.com?
However, there are only over a hundred movies that can reach the level of 8 points. All of these movies are classics with good reputation and box office.
How can "Hero" achieve this score at the box office?
"Could it be that Director Zhang is asking the navy to increase his score?"
This idea flashed through Hu Kaizhi's mind, but he immediately rejected it.
Because today's Douban.com is very strict in its scoring mechanism, there is almost no possibility of brushing up the scores.
And Director Zhang doesn’t bother to brush up points!
He has made so many movies, why bother worrying about the rating of this movie.
Even if this movie is not a hit, it has been nominated for the Golden Bear Award at the Berlin Film Festival, and didn't Li Yi also win the "Best Supporting Actor" award?
Hu Kaizhi decided to read the comments from netizens on Douban!
Only in this way can the mystery be solved.
Hu Kaizhi immediately started reading the comments.
Look at this.
His brows slowly wrinkled.
The comments from netizens were almost all positive.
[An underrated movie that can be called a swan song. Time will prove that this is a good movie]
[This film is an important symbol for Zhang Yimou to realize his own artistic transformation in the face of the background of film globalization and commercialization.
The whole film is full of stars, the scenes are grand, the pictures are exquisite, the martial arts design is freehand, and the traditional artistic conception is combined with the violent aesthetics of action films, creating a new round of box office myths and film industrialization models for mainland films.]
There are many such comments. What surprised Hu Kaizhi was that a famous film review blogger on Douban actually posted an article analyzing "Hero".
This post actually received 5,000 likes!
Hu Kaizhi opened the article and read it carefully.
[When I watched "Heroes" for the first time, I also felt it was exaggerated and empty and incomprehensible, but I always remembered the shocking scene at the end.
On the dark palace door filled with sharp arrows, only the outline of a human figure was left.
This same scene made me decide to watch it again.
I have to marvel at Zhang Yimou's skill. Even if you can't understand the meaning of the movie, he can still use a fixed moment to tell you what the Chinese artistic conception is.
Before the second brush, I first listened to "Hero" composed by Tan Dun. The melody of the cello continued the sunset on the desert. The cut melody became the magnificent background of the Qin Palace and the ancient battlefield with the setting sun, like
A wisp of magnificent and distant swaying soul]
After reading this article, Hu Kaizhi immediately clicked on the website, found the cinema closest to his home, booked a movie ticket, and decided to watch it again
"Hey, have you heard about the movie "Hero"?"
"I heard about Director Zhang's bad movie. What's so good about it?"
"Did you read it?"
"No, I heard that people on the Internet are not good-looking."
"Anyway, I have nothing to do. Let's go and have a look. Just take a look at my brother Jie and Xiao Yizi."
"Hey, since when did you become a fan of that actor?"
"He likes to play League of Legends, that's my buddy, hey, let's go"
Same time, different place.
"Niuniu, where are you? I bought two movie tickets and let's watch them together."
"What movie?"
""Hero", I saw an article on Douban that was very well analyzed. I want to read it."
"Ah, I thought it was "Mermaid"."
"What are you watching "Mermaid"? You are my mermaid. Just wear it tonight. Then I will pick you up."
These conversations began to slowly ferment after being rated online.
In less than a day, the situation changed!
Many viewers who watched the movie once could not help but watch it a second time in order to understand the movie again.
When they truly understood the essence of Mr. Zhang’s theme, they were hooked!
"I really blamed Director Zhang wrongly. This movie is really beautiful, and Li Yi's performance in the movie truly gave him the feeling of being Qin Shihuang!"
Most of these people who buy movie tickets are viewers who have watched the movie once and then watched it a second time, as well as relatives and friends who were encouraged by them to watch the movie.
But some viewers are different. After seeing the movie reviews on Douban, they decided to buy a movie ticket to see the charm of a different theme.
Xiao Yi is such an audience.
He came to the front desk and said: "Brother, take a recent "Hero" ticket and choose the middle position."
"I'm sorry, the seats for "Heroes" have been full in the past two hours." The waiter apologized.
Xiao Yi was stunned for a moment, "Ah? Sold out?"
"Yes, I'm sorry. We are currently arranging films and causing inconvenience to you." The waiter explained.
Xiao Yi sighed, took out his mobile phone, and opened Taopiaopiao.
"What? Other theaters are also fully booked?" Xiao Yi was very surprised.
At this time, the theater manager on the other side urged the employees: "Hurry up and schedule the movie "Hero" as quickly as possible. You are really screwed. Why are all of them coming to "Hero" today? Are they just trolls?"
"Yeah, obviously the box office has been getting less and less in the past two days." The employees didn't understand what was going on.
Another employee took his mobile phone and said to the manager: "Manager, the online reviews of "Heroes" are getting better and better."
The manager had presbyopia. When he saw the employee holding his cell phone in front of him, he said, "Put the cell phone further back and let me take a look."
As a result, he came back to his catchphrase: "It's a shame!"
