Middle Age: A Leisurely Life in the Entertainment Industry.

Chapter 509 "A nation will have no future if it does not face the stars."

"How is it? Is this movie pretty good?" Yu Tongtong asked while walking.

"Tongtong, do you want me to tell the truth or a lie?" Xia Yunxing said.

"Of course it's the truth."

"Typical Hollywood style, American heroism, not bad but not good either. In a word, tasteless, tasteless, and a pity to discard."

"Okay, you still don't like it?" Yu Tongtong was not happy after hearing this: "I want to see that "Yanjing Fortress" later. Is it Quanjude Roast Duck?"

Nearly three hours later, the two came out of the cinema again.

Maybe after watching two movies in a row, Yu Tongtong felt dizzy.

"Xia Yunxing, is this "Yanjing Fortress" a Jude roast duck?" the girl muttered as she walked.

At this time, Xia Yunxing looked a little ugly. After hearing Yu Tongtong's question, he replied angrily: "It's roast duck, but it's just a duck's butt!"

Hearing what the boy said, Yu Tongtong was immediately amused.

"I'm telling you, don't watch this movie. If you insist on watching it, is it disgusting?"

"Hey, I really didn't expect that the photo could be so bad." Xia Yunxing sighed, suddenly remembered something, and took out his mobile phone from his pocket.

"What are you doing?"

"I want to give a score on Douban, 1!" Xia Yunxing said angrily.

"Okay. Don't be angry. Sister, I'm treating you to some crayfish to comfort your injured little heart." Yu Tongtong smiled and pulled Xia Yunxing's arm.

"What sister, Tongtong, I'm only two days younger than you!" Xia Yunxing protested.

"You're still young for two days! In this life, sister, you've decided! Let's go!"

"Tongtong said she won't come back for dinner, she and her classmates are going to Guijie to eat crayfish." After receiving a call from her daughter, Mingmei said to her mother.

Liu Huiyan wore an apron and spread the food on the table. Hearing this, she couldn't help but annoyed, "This kid doesn't go home for dinner even after the Chinese New Year. It's true."

"Mom, today's children don't take the Chinese New Year seriously at all. She said she would be back after dinner." Meili comforted her mother, and then said to her husband who was sitting on the sofa looking at his mobile phone: "Holly, go to the study and call Dad comes over to eat Holly?!”

Yu Dongqing finally recovered and stood up.

"What are you looking at? Are you so attentive?" Mingliang asked curiously.

"The film "Fortress of Yanjing" was criticized so badly by the audience that the director even came out to apologize."

"Really? Let me see."

Meili took the phone.

Sure enough, director Liu Shaohua posted an apology letter on his Weibo, bravely admitting his mistakes and expressing his feelings.

He said that he originally wanted to open the door to Chinese science fiction to the audience, but he overestimated his ability and felt sad to say sorry to the audience.

He also said that he hopes that in the future, Chinese science fiction movies will become better and better.

"Liu Shaohua's attitude is quite sincere." Meili smiled.

"With an investment of 1.2 million yuan, the current box office is only 3.2 million yuan, and Douban's rating is [-] million yuan. I guess the investors want to kill him." Yu Dongqing said with a smile: "Okay, let's not talk about this, I'll call Dad Have a meal."

Zhang Bende, the operations director of Jiachuang Film and Television, really wanted to kill him.

It took three years and an investment of [-] million to sell this thing?
For these 3 million yuan, Guangjia Chuang Film and Television will invest [-] million yuan if it monopolizes the bulk, and it will lose more than [-] million yuan if it continues like this!
Zhang Bende seemed to see the ruthless anger of the old guys on the board of directors.

Hey, Liu Shaohua, Liu Shaohua, you are just a piece of mud who cannot hold up a wall!
And Wu Han.

Don’t you claim to have [-] million fans?Aren't you going to book the venue?
Or are they all zombie fans?
Hey, it seems that pop stars can’t use it randomly.

On the one hand, the domestic sci-fi "Fortress of Yanjing" failed miserably at the box office. On the other hand, the Hollywood sci-fi action blockbuster "The Road Warrior" has been making great progress. In just half a month after its release, the box office in the mainland easily exceeded 30 billion. At this rate, the box office exceeded 40 [-] million is no problem at all, becoming the big winner of the Spring Festival stalls.

However, the Douban score is not very high.

5.6 points, unexpectedly failed.

"Routine,"

“Cheap quality”

"Logic confusion", fans complained about it online.

For this reason, the famous film critic Zhang Liming wrote a long comment in his column:
"It's another mediocre industrial product "produced" by the Hollywood assembly line industry. It's a popcorn movie to kill time. The plot mode is cliché, but it has earned 40 billion in box office in the mainland. Not to mention the Hollywood science fiction classic "Silver" Star series."

"From this, I thought of another domestic film "Yanjing Fortress" that was screened at the same time. It did not do well at the box office, but I still admired the director's courage: "Finally someone in China dared to make a science fiction film!" "

"A philosopher once said: "A nation will have no future if it does not face the stars." I dare not say whether this sentence is correct, but for our mainland filmmakers, can we only make comedies or martial arts films? ?”

At the end of the article, @Yu Dongqing was added.

"This Zhang Liming, what am I doing?" Yu Dongqing was angry and funny after seeing the news.

"I'm asking you to take pictures."

As Mingliang said, she put a small piece of apple into Yu Dongqing's mouth. Of course, she didn't forget to put a piece into the mouth of her son who was playing with toys next to him.

Yu Dongqing, like most men, doesn't like eating fruit, but Mingliang now forces him to eat it to supplement vitamins.

Now that the weather is getting warmer day by day, the two of them sit in the small courtyard and bask in the sun with their son when they have nothing to do.

Yu Dongqing chewed the apple slowly and said: "You also said that it is difficult to make science fiction films with funds and technology, especially special effects technology. The domestic level is not yet good enough."

"That's what he said, don't pay attention to him." Meiliang said with a sweet smile.

As the country's first science fiction blockbuster "Yanjing Fortress" failed miserably at the box office and was criticized verbally and verbally, the industry also began to reflect on the reasons for the failure of the film.

A very important factor is that the script is too poor.

The original science fiction novel of the same name was originally a soft science fiction, a romance novel disguised as science fiction.

It lacks a very "hard" core, so if it is turned into a movie, it will naturally not be hard, and it will become a flirtatious romance film.

From this, people think of "The Wandering Earth" which was very popular last year.

"Planetary engine, heavy element fusion, solar helium flash, Noci limit." These terms cannot be more harsh.

Of course, what makes people even more fascinated is that the novel is a hard science fiction yet romantic.

"Should this novel be handed over to a Hollywood director?" This once-hyped topic has been brought up again.

Netizens commented one after another.

Some say of course, Hollywood has mature technology and rich experience, and a director like that will definitely be able to make a hit science fiction film.

But some netizens firmly disagree.

Wang Xiaobing is one of them.
