my time as a director

Chibi, which was released for 21 days, was affected by word of mouth, and the box office trend was mediocre. It only got 1300 million box office in the first four days of the fourth week, and the total box office reached 2.6 million.

This figure has surpassed last year's annual Chinese film box office champion assembly number, basically [-] million box office has been confirmed.

The box office potential of the most watched movies in the summer season has almost been exhausted, let alone Hancock, another Hollywood blockbuster that was released at the beginning of the month, is close to drawing.

August 8th is the Olympic Games again, and several blockbuster movies will be moved to March and April. It is not unreasonable to prefer not to have a summer file, but not to face the impact of the Olympic Games.

Throughout August, there were only four movies, The Incredible Hulk, Perfect Nine, Fairy Tales of the Moon, and The Inn of the Deserted Village. There was not a single decent blockbuster, and it was even far worse than the movie market in March and April.

However, just when the smoke of the summer vacation was about to die out, the release of Jaws: Revenge ignited the entire market again, and the high box office of 130 million at the zero point show was enough to prove the audience's expectations for such a movie.

As a well-known movie, Jaws: Revenge received much better treatment from the media and professional film critics when it was first released than last year when Frequency of Life and Death was first released.

Many media and film critics immediately began various reports and comments after the premiere and the zero-point show.

"With a tight plot structure and a terrifying atmosphere, Jaws: Vengeance portrays the selfishness, money worship, vanity and pride of human nature to the fullest, but overall it is still slightly worse than the first one. Watch the same routine for the second time. , there will always be aesthetic fatigue!"

"Jaws: Vengeance is the sequel to last year's phenomenal film Jaws. I personally think that Jaws is, to some extent, the pinnacle of domestic thrillers and horror movies. The summer file harvested the fear of millions of viewers across the country, and I still remember it so far. I thought the sequel could make a breakthrough on the basis of the first one, but it is purely old wine in new bottles. For those who want to watch this For the audience of the movie, I suggest that you can watch the first movie again directly on the computer."

"The plot narrative is complete, the rhythm is relaxed, the details are in place, the character conflicts, and the elusive big shark, Jaws: Revenge are all above the passing line, but after watching the whole film, there is always a feeling of dullness , the only bright spot is at the end, the third shark that suddenly appeared, completed his revenge and killed the male protagonist."

"A mediocre film, far from the surprise when I watched the first film, but it is already very good for a new director. After all, geniuses are always a minority. Overall, Jaws: Vengeance is still a qualified thriller and horror film. .”

"Even with the first pearl and jade in front, the elusive great white shark in the film still affects my heart all the time, and I even start to look forward to the revenge of this female shark, the absolute dominance level power in the ocean, human beings in the face The sense of powerlessness towards such a powerful creature, as well as the shocking and bloody scene of the great white shark swallowing human life in an instant, really moved the audience."

"It's also a new director, but Qi Yukun is not Li Qian. This sequel is far from the shock that the first one brought me. Although the owner of the resort and the village chief are still the biggest obstacles around the hero, the sequel is not as full and determined. The unrestrained and unrestrained captain of the tough guy, his lower body was swallowed by the white shark, and he inserted a knife into the head of the great white shark for the last time.

Another marine life expert in the second part is more like a passerby who just appeared for a specific plot, without a strong support to confirm the correctness of the actor's conjecture. Except for the obstruction from the capitalists, the content of the whole movie is slightly empty and becomes A pure thriller horror film.

The second great white shark appeared and attacked humans. The capitalists didn’t believe it. The protagonist had no choice but to attack humans again. The capitalists still blocked the protagonist, but the protagonist was still helpless. At this time, the protagonist showed his might and killed the second great white shark.

Compared with the first one, it seems that it was carved out of a mold and became an assembly line product. "

......

"These people are too picky."

On the morning of the 31st, Li Qian and them gathered in the studio. Looking at these film reviews, which were obviously not compliments, Guo Fan was quite angry.

His movie premiered today and is about to be officially released. Seeing that Qi Yukun's movie has a mediocre reputation among professional film critics, I feel somewhat uneasy.

"It's normal, there's nothing strange about it. I shot everything I could for the first one, and I couldn't make any tricks for the second one. If you watch too much, you'll naturally get tired of it. Moreover, this kind of commercial horror film has always been favored by film critics." You can’t ask for anything good, but it’s good if you don’t get scolded.”

It doesn't matter to Li Qian, no matter who is hired to shoot this second film, it is impossible to get a higher evaluation than the first film.

Even if the quality is higher than the first one, the one that comes out first is the advantage.

Unless a big change is made, the protagonist is no longer a normal great white shark, and a mutated super-giant great white shark, one as big as a blue whale, can still be shot with something new.

But if that's the case, the plot can't be limited to one beach. The whole country and the whole world will pay attention to this kind of mutant shark. Then the whole movie has nothing to do with the first one. It has to be made into a marine disaster movie.

And Qi Yukun felt a little bit disappointed when he saw that his movie received very average reviews.

Becoming famous all over the world in one fell swoop is something that every new director, actor, writer, singer and other professions have thought about.

However, the reality often backfires, and the feedback from professional film critics after the release is very mediocre.

It has a base of more than 400 million viewers. If the box office is not satisfactory, it will definitely have a big impact on his director career.

Li Qian looked at Qi Yukun's worried expression and said in relief, "These film critics' comments don't matter, the film is not made for them to watch, their only reference value depends on whether these professionals have a lot of comments For this film, enough film critics have written reviews, which shows that the film has received enough attention, and the real feedback has to come from the audience."

"Moreover, in the future, I will inevitably be scolded by these people. If you don't scold the director and actors, many of them will lose their jobs. Just forget about it after watching it. And from another perspective, it can be regarded as promoting the movie."

Qi Yukun was right when he thought about it. A large number of film critics pay attention to a movie, or when the movie has just been released, at least it means that the movie has already gained a lot of fame and exposure, otherwise they would not pay attention.

Thinking of the very good response from the audience after the premiere last night, Qi Yukun felt a little relieved.

But I didn't wait until the box office came out on the first day, and I was still a little uneasy.

......

Compared with the evaluation of film critics, the media is much more enthusiastic. Now that there are not many films in the film market, it is not easy to have a popular film, so let's talk about it first.

Anyway, it has just been released, and the box office has not yet come out, so it will be a big deal to scold in two days.

But the feedback from the audience was very good, especially the extra scene at the end when the hero was buried in the belly of a fish, not to mention how exciting it was.

"Has anyone watched Jaws: Revenge? Several film critics I follow say that the sequel is pretty mediocre, and I'm wondering whether to watch it or not."

"It's pretty good. It's as exciting as the first one, but it doesn't have that freshness, but it's definitely worth the ticket price."

"After watching the zero point scene, there was a wave of spoilers. The new shark killed the male protagonist, and the revenge was successful."

"I'll go, no way, does this director really dare to shoot?"

"Really? Then I have to go and watch it. The first part is not pleasing to the eyes of the protagonist."

"Liar, the new shark was killed by the male lead, and then another shark came at the end and killed the male lead."

"Fuck, big reversal, two sharks?"

"The first scene in the morning won't be released until after nine o'clock, and there's still half an hour left. Let me tell you what's going on. What happens after the third shark kills the protagonist?"

"Spoilers are shameless! But I've said it all, let's finish it all at once."

"Let me tell you, it's the same routine as the first one. In the end, the hero kills the female shark, but in the end another shark comes out and kills the protagonist. Then it's gone, and the movie is over."

"Revenge, the third shark can't be their brother."

"Probably not. The movie said that the first one is male and the second one is female. I guess the third one is their son."

"The male protagonist killed his parents. The son of the shark is going to avenge his parents."

"Shark son: Mom and Dad, my son has finally avenged you!"

"A weak question, don't fish lay eggs? They probably don't have a father. Hens can lay eggs without mating."

"Ahem, as a professional, let me explain. Hens can lay eggs without mating, but they can't hatch chicks. Sharks also have to mate to lay eggs. They can lay eggs or give birth. And let me tell you a secret. Male sharks have Two dicks."

"I wipe, two? Cowhide!"

"...strange lore added."

"But there probably won't be a third part, the male lead is dead."

"Maybe, sharks can take revenge. The protagonist has a son, and he can take revenge when he grows up."

"Fuck, isn't that endless, and the revenge continues from generation to generation."
