Chapter 987 The Hope of Science Fiction

After earning 2.1 billion at the box office, "The Age of Dawn" finally ended its rampage in the Chinese film market.

When it was first released and achieved excellent box office results, many people said that it was just a fan benefit. After this limelight, the box office would inevitably plummet, and in the end it would only be worth 700 to 800 million, which is just enough to make back the money.

However, the box office of "Akatsuki" did not follow their predictions, and instead rose to 2 billion.

Although the decline has now been revealed, it is just not rising as fast as before. In the end, it will be almost no difficulty for the box office to exceed 30 years.

Although it is not among the top ten Chinese-language films at the box office, such results have already slapped countless people who initially looked down on it.

It is normal for the box office growth rate to decline now. After all, no movie can make this figure continue to rise. When the box office is so high on the first day, it is already very rare to last three days.

The gradual decline of the box office of "Akatsuki" also announced the arrival of the film's New Year's Day release.

Mengdao is also quite courageous and dares to release movies in the off-season. Although it avoids competition from domestic and foreign blockbusters, it also avoids the people who go to movie theaters to make impulse purchases during the holidays.

Judging from the results, there is nothing wrong with his decision, and he still makes money at the box office.

And the one who is more courageous than Director Ming is director Tong Xia Tong.

Probably no one would recognize him just by mentioning his name, but he recently has a movie that has been in preparation for many years and is finally about to be released, which is the famous Shang Hai Fortress.

This movie, adapted from the novel of the same name and starring a popular TV star, has been heavily promoted since the beginning of the year. It is said to be a benchmark for TV stars on Earth and is expected to become a milestone in Chinese science fiction movies.

Originally, movie fans were quite looking forward to this well-known IP. Although this is not the representative work of Shanghai Fortress author Poppy, it can also be regarded as a best-selling work and has many book fans.

But when everyone saw the list of actors, their hearts immediately dropped.

As we all know, fresh meat and bad movies are like the famous Chinese swordsman Mo Xie. The female never leaves the male and the male never leaves the female. The two always appear in the same place.

So when they learned that the starring role of the movie was Lu Han, most of the fans who were expecting it immediately disappeared. In the end, Lu Han had to stand up and post on Weibo, begging everyone not to avoid going to the movie because of him. Give him and this movie a chance.

The attitude is quite sincere, and Lu Han recently acted in a TV series of relatively good quality, which has restored a lot of popularity among passers-by, so netizens who hate popular celebrities finally paid lip service to him and did not directly criticize him.

But that doesn't mean it's over, they just saved all the Qingxue to vent after the movie is released.

As for whether to praise or criticize, it depends on the performance in the movie.

It is a pity that the trailer released in advance of the movie title is indeed a bit sparse. It is not yet clear whether it is a good or bad movie based on a few messy long shots.

It is said that the investment of Shang Hai Fortress is 300 million, which includes a large number of special effects. From the director to the producer to the actors, everyone is bragging about this aspect.

Shanghai Fortress, which was originally scheduled to be released on New Year's Day, was also selected to be released in advance for some reasons.

Although the director didn't say anything, some netizens still guessed that Avatar 2 will be released in advance, scheduled for mid-November.

From a time point of view, the original release date of Shanghai Fortress is more than half a month after the release of 2. Although it is the hottest time of the New Year's Day, it still faces the embarrassing situation that movie fans have already enjoyed a science fiction blockbuster.

In order not to saturate the aesthetics of movie fans, it is not difficult to understand that Shanghai Fortress chose to release it early.

But no matter how far in advance, the two will have direct dialogue, which is why netizens praised Shanghai Fortress for its courage.

Other movies are afraid to avoid it, but it is the only movie of the same type that dares to challenge it head-on. It is really rare.

Lu Han's fans also took this opportunity to start boasting, saying that Chinese science fiction movies will usher in a new chapter tomorrow, the box office of Shang Hai Fortress will be at least 5 billion, Lu Han will be crowned the 10 billion actor, and so on.

As one of the four returning members, Lu Han initially had the most fans and the best resources.

But after the romance was announced, her career began to take a dive.

Although his behavior was really brave and manly for an idol, it also had a devastating impact on his career, and he fell directly from the number one traffic star in domestic entertainment to the second rate.

The movie Shang Hai Fortress was filmed during his peak period of popularity, but it ended up having survived his peak period and has been delayed until now.

Fans who are still fans of Lu Han all think this is his best chance to make a comeback.

If it is really a box office hit, the resources that Lu Han Qinghong has not received can be revived immediately. If it is run well, it is not impossible to return to the top position again.

One of the four returning sons has already started working on a sewing machine, and the other has opened his own company and is the boss. All his thoughts are focused on promoting newcomers, which is equivalent to leaving only one competitor.

As for the other fresh traffic, they were only popular for a while, and compared with Lu Han's own stable fan base all year round, they are still a little behind.

So if Shanghai Fortress can succeed this time, Lu Han will not just be a little fresh meat, maybe he will get rid of the fresh meat and become an actor.

Therefore, fans took it very seriously and began to organize movie viewings, vowing to win a full house for Lu Han on the first day of release.

………………

"Sister, do you want to see this Shanghai Fortress?"

In the living room, Leon asked his elder sister curiously.

As a fan of science fiction movies, he likes to watch them both at home and abroad. In the past, he basically used Netflix when he was abroad, and sometimes found time to go to the cinema.

When he arrived in China, he discovered that there was a website called Moonlight Movies, which had all kinds of resources, and they were all free, and even the classic movies that were still in theaters could be downloaded.

This resource-searching artifact made Lyon call my China awesome.

At first, he felt a little uneasy about his conscience when he used it. After all, he had to pay to enjoy these benefits before. Suddenly he came to an environment where he could use prostitution resources for free. He was really not used to it.

But the joy brought by free prostitution made him quickly forget his shame and quickly integrated into it.

Of course, the Moonlight movie is not completely without its shortcomings, that is, you have to wait a while to see the newly released movie, and Leon happens to be impatient, which makes it more uncomfortable.

It just so happened that Shanghai Fortress was being marketed so well this time, and he was curious to go to the theater to see what it was like, as an appetizer before the release of Avatar 2.

Before going, Leon also asked if he wanted to come together as usual.

If it was just an ordinary movie, if Luo Quan didn't want to go, he could just say that I might as well go.

But when he heard that his brother was going to see Shanghai Fortress, Luo Quan immediately shook his head and said: "This movie is completely worthless. If you want to go, you can go. I won't go anyway."

If the plot of "Little Times" is bad, everything else is passable.

The Shanghai Fortress is terrible in all aspects, with no redeeming features to be found.

For Luo Quan, who doesn't like spending money randomly, donating movie tickets to Shanghai Fortress is a shameful waste.

Only when there are fewer and fewer movies like this can the environment of China's film and television industry be improved.

It not only requires the hard work of industry insiders, but also the support of movie fans.

How to support? That means that all these bad movies will be dumped on the street and they will not receive any box office!

Therefore, Luo Quan would not do anything to help the tyrants do harm. How hard Shanghai Fortress is blowing now will be how badly he will be sprayed at this time tomorrow.

However, Lyon did not have the ability to predict the future, so he didn't know how bad the Shanghai Fortress would become after being so boasted.

I read in the comment section that this movie is the benchmark for The Wandering Earth. I have seen this movie and it is indeed very good. The special effects are also at the top level in the industry.

If it were to compete with The Wandering Earth, it would definitely be another visual feast, so Lyon wanted to join in the fun.

But when his sister said this, he also started to think: "Is it really that bad? Have you read the script?"

"That's not true." Luo Quan immediately denied, "But I have seen the trailer, and some movies can be known whether they are bad or not just by watching the trailer. Unfortunately, Shanghai Fortress falls into this category.

Moreover, its so-called special effects are not visible at all in the trailer, at least in The Wandering Earth.

To say that fifty cents special effects is an exaggeration is a bit exaggerated, but it cannot exceed fifty cents at most. If you don’t believe me, you can take a closer look. "

"Then there's no need to watch it." Leon waved his hand, "Since you said so, sister, there's no need to bother with it. Let's wait and see the reviews after the movie is released."

Although Leon likes to watch science fiction movies, he is not the one who takes advantage of him.

He is not stubborn enough to go to the cinema to see how bad a movie is even though he knows it is a bad one.

Besides, with the Internet now so developed, it won’t be long before we know what the actual situation is.

"By the way, how about your Wolf of Wall Street movie? When are you going to go back to the United States to film it?"

Luo Quan suddenly remembered this matter and asked curiously.

"I asked Seifert to withdraw the script."

Leon's answer surprised Luo Quan: "Why, is the script bad?"

"I haven't read the script yet, but no matter how good the script is, it can't make me leave China." Leon said and glanced at Mia, who was wearing headphones and watching the drama next to him. "After all, the baby is pregnant. During this time, I How could he not be by her side?

I care more about my family than my career. Even movies that can win Oscars one after another cannot let me leave Mia at this time. "

"It's so disgusting." Luo Quan hugged his arms and trembled, "It's a pity that Mia didn't hear this."

"Well, what happened?" Mia noticed that Luo Quan and Leon were looking at her, and immediately took off her headphones and asked.

She didn't know whether it was because the earphones were turned up loud or she was watching the show too seriously, but she actually didn't hear what Leon said.

Luo Quan immediately responded: "It's nothing, I'm just saying that a bad movie will be released recently, and I advise Leon not to waste money to watch it."

"Is it Shanghai Fortress?" Mia also often surfs the Internet. She has seen the trailer more than once during this period. It is indeed huge.

"I remember Leon, don't you really like watching science fiction movies? How about we go and take a look?" Mia thought of Leon's hobbies, so she started to encourage.

"But this movie seems to be terrible." Leon's tone became hesitant.

"Oh, it doesn't matter if it's bad or not, why don't we go watch it together to have fun." Mia sat next to Leon and held his arm, "And after watching the movie, we can also go shopping. I've been at home for so long. , it’s time to go out and get some fresh air.”

"That's right, you can go shopping after reading this." Leon turned his head and put his arm around her shoulders, with a doting look on his face.

Luo Quan just watched from the side, silently took a sip of hot water, and then said: "Am I a little redundant?"

"It's not unnecessary. How about the three of us watch a movie together?" Mia suggested with a smile.

"Then I've become a big eight-hundred-watt light bulb?" Luo Quan laughed at himself, "Forget it, I won't go on a date with you young couple. You can eat, drink and have fun outside. Also, pay attention to safety and don’t force yourself to crowd in crowded places.”

At this time, Luo Quan transformed into an old woman and gave instructions to Leon and Mia.

"I know, my dear sister." Like all children who are nagged by their elders, Leon responded with a long voice.

Luo Quan glanced at him and stood up directly: "I'm too lazy to eat your dog food anymore!"

After saying that, he walked downstairs.

The next day, Leon and Mia went out on a date early.

The first stop was the cinema. At this time, Shanghai Fortress had just opened, and there were no reviews online yet.

And after the young couple watched for fifteen minutes, they finally understood why Luo Quan didn't come to see it.

This is simply a super bad movie!

This nonsense plot, awkward acting, poor costumes and shoddy special effects.

It was the worst it could be in every aspect, to the point where Leon was left in deep doubt as to how a movie could be made so poorly.

As the first wave of viewings ended, the angry audience used overwhelming curses to nail Shanghai Fortress to the pillar of shame in Chinese film history.

The Douban score has not been released yet, while the Maoyan score is currently only 6.0.

What is this concept? "Dream Show", which is recognized as the worst film in history, has a score of 6.8, and Shanghai Fortress is even lower than "Dream Show", which shows how bad it is.

What is more intuitive than the ratings is the overwhelming criticism on the Internet.

As a traffic star, Lu Han's own fans couldn't control their comments and even joined the army of complaints. You can imagine everyone's attitude towards it.

So even though the movie official posted four Weibo posts in succession, asking netizens whether it could be called a bad movie, and attached stills from the movie.

But he still couldn't escape his fate of being thrown into the street, and because he was too harsh, the film officials and the director were all scolded on the trending searches.
