Chapter 71 Box Office Counterattack
"I want to go to the movie. My idol Zhihao Oppa's movie was released yesterday. I have to support it no matter how you go! Do you want to go together?" said the friend on the other end of the phone.
Xiao Miao blinked her eyes and replied excitedly: "Go and go, I almost forgot!"
"That's it, the movie will start for about two hours. Let's set off now, Modong International Cinema will gather." The friend's voice was also full of expectations.
Half an hour later, Modong International Cinema.
The cinema is built on the top floor of a large shopping mall. There are many people coming to shop on Sundays. A foreign blockbuster has just been released recently and there are crowds of people everywhere.
Soon, two beautiful girls dressed in fashion met happily at the entrance of the cinema.
Because they were standing at the exit, they heard many people who had just finished watching the movie evaluating the plot, including the movie starring Zhihao Oppa.
However, the reviews are not very good, and Zhihao Oppa seems to be just a brain-drawing character in the movie.
The two girls looked at each other and walked tacitly to the waiting area where there were few people before speaking.
"The taste of those people just now was so bad. They actually said that Zhihao Oppa's movie is not enough to be a good-looking countryside film. What do you mean by what!" My friend directly applied common lines from Taicheng idol dramas.
"That's it!" Xiao Miao had just agreed halfway and suddenly saw the movie poster next to her.
The little friend looked at Xiao Miao's surprised expression and turned around curiously and glanced at her eyes. As a result, she only saw a group of passers-by standing in groups, with the words "Looking at Home" written horizontally at the top of the poster.
She suddenly understood why Xiaomiao was surprised, because this "Forget Hometown" was just a movie starring Zhihao Oppa.
Needless to say, her old best friend Xiao Miao must have felt that it was not worth it for Zhihao Oppa. How could such a bad movie be compared to Zhihao Oppa? She immediately showed an indignant expression and said, "They are so blind. You can tell that this movie is not good just by looking at the poster!"
"No, this must be a good movie!" Xiao Miao refuted her firmly.
The friend asked suspiciously: "How do you know?"
"Look at the poster!" Xiao Miao said excitedly.
"You are teasing me. I just finished reading the poster and found it not good." My friend was ashamed.
"No, look at this actor, his name is Zhao Cheng. I mentioned that handsome guy to you before!" Xiao Miao explained the reason to her, telling her various advantages of Zhao Cheng to her friends. In the end, she planned to convince her to watch "Forgetting Hometown" instead, not to look at Zhihao Oppa.
Unexpectedly, the little friend stopped doing it when he heard it and said stubbornly: "I don't want it. Zhihao Oppa is so handsome. His movie must be good!"
"I think he is handsome, but it has nothing to do with the movie he starred in. You and I are not blindly chasing stars. The most important thing in watching a movie is the plot, right?"
"And we are late to buy tickets now. You can watch it. The movie "Zhihao Oppa" has been released for more than an hour before it was released. It is all of them that have not been sold at any time. But the "Forget Hometown" will be screened immediately, and there are many locations!"
Xiaomiao tried her best to convince her, and she made the songs straight, and finally changed her mind.
However, my friend was watching with her attitude. The two agreed that if they still felt that it was not good to watch "Forget Hometown" for an hour, they would immediately buy tickets for the movie starring Zhihao Oppa.
The two of them entered the venue, and there were only a dozen young people sitting in the small cinema.
The atmosphere of discussion around was quite lively, but it was all unpopular, saying that this director was a new director who had transformed. If it weren't for the content of this story, they wouldn't want to come.
Xiao Miao felt a little nervous when she heard this, for fear that she would cheat her friend so sure.
Although she supports Zhao Cheng 100%, she is also worried that the whole bad movie can't be saved by relying on the power of her idol.
Under the various ideas of everyone, the movie began.
But there is a common problem of a straightforward narration in the first ten minutes of the film, which makes everyone want to yawn. It was not until the protagonist's father fell ill that he caught everyone's attention.
When everyone thought this was the biggest highlight of the film, Zhao Cheng sacrificed his life in front of the protagonist in order to save the student.
His death was so unexpected.
Because Zhao Cheng, a young teacher, has a very plump character in front of it, everyone thought he would become the protagonist's teacher and friend until he accompanied the protagonist to the end of the film. He didn't know that the movie would cause an emergency by mistake and immediately asked him to get the lunch box.
Zhao Cheng's death points out the intention of the entire movie, and also makes everyone present think deeply.
People really have to live in the present and cherish every moment of their lives. After all, tomorrow or accident, no one knows which one will come first.
"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Xiao Miao, two young girls who were not very experienced in the world, were moved to cry and completely forgot the backup plan of "Transfer to Zhihao Oppa".
Compared to the girl's sentimentality, other professional art films will look at this plot more rationally. In addition to being surprised by "Forgetting Hometown", they also remembered Zhao Cheng, an actor with superb acting skills, and used the meaning of death to raise the level of the entire movie.
Even after the movie ended, many people still discussed the plot in the movie with relish, and even compared it with the movies of the same period.
This phenomenon has appeared in cinemas all over the country.
The most direct manifestation is that the number of viewers at the box office unexpectedly showed an anti-growth with the gradual decrease in the number of scenes, which means that the attendance rate of each game has increased.
By the early morning statistics, the total box office of "Forget Home" reached 92.11 million, accounting for 21 of the market, ranking fourth.
The first three movies are either imported Hollywood movies or domestic films with big-name stars. "Forget Hometown", which should have decreased in the number of viewers, can still turn over and squeeze into the top 5 box offices, which is simply strange.
The fat director was so happy that he jumped up because his work could be recognized by the audience, which was his greatest relief as a director.
Moreover, according to this development trend, in two days, the money he invested can be repaid.
The long box office also made the theater big men feel unexpected. Interests are paramount. They immediately put the problems of "director transformation work" and "no big-name actors" in "Forgetting Hometown" and other issues, and immediately began to study how high the screening rate should be raised to be suitable.
The biggest beneficiary of the movie's counterattack is Zhao Cheng.
On the way to work these two days, someone actually recognized him. This was not only a good thing for Zhao Cheng, but also a very favorable advantage.
Because the finals of [Travel Season - Singing Summer] are coming.
