This director only makes bad movies

"The cost of the movie is less than 1 million, but the box office is close to 900 million. Does it even have the potential to become the domestic film champion?"

Li Ping saw the relevant news and couldn't help but become interested in the movie "Captain of China".

He is a director, and a very famous director.

As a director, he has an instinctive love for movies. He also likes to watch movies, study and appreciate movies.

Li Ping generally doesn't watch bad movies. In his opinion, bad movies have no value at all and there is no need to watch them at all.

Some directors like to learn lessons from failure by watching bad movies, but Li Ping feels there is no need for that.

Excellent movies have a lot in common, but bad movies are often inexplicably bad, beyond imagination, and it is impossible to learn the lessons of failure from them.

It is enough to learn the merits of excellent movies. There is no need to watch bad movies, which are just a waste of time.

Li Ping only watches good movies. Whether they are domestic or foreign, as long as they are recognized as excellent movies, he will watch them once, analyze the excellence in them, and then learn and digest them.

During this period, the movie "Captain China" was very popular, but Li Ping never planned to watch it.

Because people in the industry say that this is a bad movie, the reason why it can achieve such a high box office is entirely due to marketing reasons.

As an insider, Li Ping was naturally affected by these remarks and has no desire to watch movies.

But when he saw that "Captain China" only cost 1 million and made nearly 900 million at the box office, he was finally moved and booked movie tickets online.

Maybe this movie is really bad, but being able to get such a high box office at such a low cost definitely has merit.

Even if the successful marketing of a movie plays a big factor, if it really is a mess, marketing alone won’t be able to survive.

With the mentality of learning, Li Ping bought the ticket and went to the cinema.

As an industry insider, Li Ping specifically observed the cinema's arrangement of movies.

He was surprised to find that the movie "Captain China" occupied almost all the theaters. Several other movies of the same period had almost no schedule, and he couldn't see them even if he wanted to.

This phenomenon shocked Li Ping.

Theater chains have always been realistic. Whichever movie the audience likes to watch, they will give high priority to that movie.

Because only by catering to the audience can they make money. If they give high-ranking movies to the audience that they don't like to watch, the theater chain will only lose.

Now all the theaters are playing the movie "Captain China", and almost all the movies of the same period have been abandoned, which shows that this movie is what the audience likes to watch the most.

The film schedule has been so squeezed, which means that other films in the same period have no competitiveness in front of "Captain China", and cannot even slightly divert the box office.

This situation is rare.

Generally, only when a phenomenal movie is released, can you encounter the phenomenon of the movie schedule being crazily squeezed during the same period. Now, "Captain China", a bad movie criticized by the industry, is also treated in this way. It is really surprising.

But after thinking about it, it seems that "Captain China" is really qualified to be called a phenomenal movie.

There are so many discussions about this movie on the Internet that it is definitely known to everyone.

Such high popularity is not what a phenomenal movie is, and only a phenomenal movie can have such a high popularity.

Through observing the film schedule in theaters, Li Ping is even more looking forward to the movie "Captain China".

Entering the theater, he checked the movie attendance again.

It’s very high. Almost 80% of the seats are occupied. The theater has such a high attendance rate even though the movie has been almost completely scheduled. The movie “Captain China” is really good at attracting audiences.

A few minutes later, the lights in the theater dimmed and the movie officially began.

Just a few minutes after the movie started playing, Li Ping frowned.

A layman looks at the excitement, an expert looks at the door.

When a layman watches a movie, he may just look at the plot and whether it is good or not, but as a director, the presentation, lens, light, and angle of a movie are all within his scope of observation.

The lighting and shooting angles of this movie are handled well, but the costume is really rubbish, with a distinctly cheap and plastic feel.

This shortcoming alone covers all the other advantages, making people lose their expectations for the movie.

If this were any other movie, Li Ping would have wanted to leave after seeing this.

The quality of movies that serve as garbage is generally not very good. Of course, there are a few exceptions, but not many. Anyway, Li Ping doesn't have the patience to dig for gold in shit.

But "Captain China" is so famous that Li Ping has the patience to continue watching it even if he is very unconvinced.

Moreover, there are negative reviews of this movie all over the Internet. Li Ping was mentally prepared for the cheap movie, and he did not feel too disappointed.

This is the same as when a bad guy puts down his butcher knife and becomes a Buddha immediately.

A bad person has done a thousand bad things, but as long as he does one good thing, everyone will think that this person is not completely bad and can still be saved.

A good person has done a thousand good things, but as long as he does one bad thing, everyone will think that this person is not good enough and is a hypocrite.

If "Captain China" had been well received on the Internet, Li Ping would have had a bad impression of the movie when he came in and saw how cheap it was. He would have felt that the movie was just that.

However, there are mostly negative reviews for "Captain China" on the Internet, and industry insiders are almost calling the movie a piece of shit.

Therefore, when Li Ping saw the attitude of garbage, because he had already had psychological expectations, he felt that it was okay and he could barely accept it.

After lowering his psychological expectations, Li Ping's thought became that the quality of the movie "Serving the Road" was obviously very poor, but it turned out that the movie was not as bad as imagined, and it still had its merits. People in the industry were too harsh in their evaluation of the movie. .

The plot advanced rapidly, and soon we reached the classic scene of "Captain China", where Hongying sheds tears.

Seeing the extremely twisted expression on Lin Hongxiu's flawless face, and the fake heartbroken cry, Li Ping couldn't hold back any longer.

This damn thing is too thunderous, it's like thunder rolling from the sky, so thunderous that it makes people collapse.

But because he had known for a long time that Lin Hongxiu's acting skills were not good and his psychological expectations were very low, Li Ping was a little disappointed after watching it, but not much.

Lin Hongxiu's acting skills have been criticized countless times on the Internet. Li Ping has also read the relevant news and is well prepared.

After lowering his psychological expectations, Li Ping discovered that Lin Hongxiu's acting skills actually had advantages.

After all, it's the first time, so it's great to be able to act like this.

And this actor is beautiful

Although the acting skills are shocking, the appearance is still passable. As long as you lower your expectations, you will find out.

Actually it's okay.
