This director only makes bad movies

Douya is the most authoritative rating website in China. Although many people feel that the ratings on this website cannot accurately express the quality of the work, the comments above still have great reference significance.

The score of 5.9 for "The Great Wall" immediately confused many people.

I didn't even get a passing six points. Is there something wrong?

Insiders don’t think “The Great Wall” is perfect, but it’s not necessarily a failure.

A group of people belatedly checked the comments of netizens.

"This movie has as many flaws as there are gluttons in it."

"The blockbuster is indeed a blockbuster. The colorful scenes took me back to the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games."

"I watched it with my girlfriend. She confused me when she asked me what the protagonist was doing. Indeed, after watching the movie, I didn't understand what the protagonist wanted to do. I even had doubts about who the protagonist was."

"The setting for fighting monsters is pretty good, but the process of defeating monsters is a bit cliché."

"It's okay. I watched it because of the lineup. I wasn't disappointed after watching it, but I didn't think it was good either."

"Zinima, refund the money."

Film critics were much harsher.

"Before it was released, Zhang Yange told us that this was a Sino-US co-production, focusing on Chinese culture. But after watching the movie, except for the Great Wall, I didn't find any Chinese cultural elements, from the dialogue inside to the scenery to the characters inside. All of them have a Western flavor, but the question is, since it’s a Western movie, why don’t we choose to watch The Lord of the Rings?”

"We all know that Shenhua Group is rich, but we have always had no idea how much money they have. Now I finally understand that it is possible to have many stars such as Andy Lau, Zhang Hanyu, Matt Damon, etc. accompany the little princess Lin who has incredible acting skills. Hongxiu is playing house, so I’ll ask you if you accept it.”

"I watched the movie with my friends, and they all said that "The Great Wall" was a bad movie. I am absolutely not convinced. The movie "The Great Wall" powerfully showed my Chinese Olympic athletes in diving, shot put, pole vaulting, and javelin throwing. , archery, equestrian, gymnastics and other sports. Considering that this movie will be screened in foreign countries, we can see how far-reaching Director Zhang’s intentions are. You guys have all misunderstood Director Zhang.”

The comment section of "The Great Wall" can be described as a chaotic mess, with netizens generally giving negative reviews.

Thirty-five percent gave it two stars, 30% gave it one star, 28% gave it three stars, and the rest gave it four and five stars.

With so many people giving low marks, failing is normal.

In fact, as early as the first day, there were a lot of controversial voices about the movie "The Great Wall", but not many people had seen it at that time, so the controversial voices were not loud.

It wasn't until the bean sprouts split, a landmark event, that the audience's actual perception of the film came to light.

The comment section of "The Beginning" was filled with positive reviews.

"Nervous, I was so nervous that I couldn't breathe the whole time."

"This is the best suspense film I have ever seen. I think this is a sign that domestic suspense films have stood up."

"I went to the cinema with the intention of watching a bad movie, but suddenly I saw a good movie. Can you understand how surprised I was?"

"Time Loop has been filmed many times abroad, but this is the first time we have filmed it in China, and it is so exciting."

"My scalp was numb the whole time I was watching the movie. It was so exciting."

The critics' comments were not as mindless as the audience's, but they were also positive.

"Xu Nan has always been a very controversial director. Many people even think that he is not worthy of being a director and only qualified to be a film marketer. But the movie "The Beginning" should have washed away many people's impression of Xu Nan. , and I hope he can make more good movies in the future."

"This movie gave me the feeling of being tense, from beginning to end. From the first time the two of them woke up, their awakening time got later and later, the distance from the explosion got closer and closer, and the error tolerance became higher and higher. It gets lower and lower, and the last loop is only three minutes long, and it takes three minutes to decide life and death. This is a bold idea, and it also pushes the rhythm of the movie to the climax."

"Obviously it is a suspense movie, but I saw love. When they woke up for the first time, Li Shiqing and Xiao Heyun were still strangers, but when they woke up for the third time, their hands were held together. After waking up for the fifth time, , Xiao Heyun even stood in front of Li Shiqing. I have to say that the details of this movie are really good."

Netizens rated the movie "The Beginning" very well, with most of the ratings being four and five stars.

In particular, Xu Nan has always been known for making bad movies, and suddenly he made a good movie. Not to mention the sense of surprise.

industry.

Insiders were shocked by the ratings of both movies.

Although Douya.com's ratings have shortcomings of one kind or another, they can represent the quality of the movie from the side.

They could barely tolerate the failure of "The Great Wall", but a nine-point score for "The Beginning" was unbearable.

There are no more than 100 movies rated nine or above on Douban, including nine, and "The Beginning" is rated nine, which is really shocking.

Although it is easy for people to give high scores to suspense movies, it also shows the audience's recognition.

"How is it possible? Xu Nan's movie actually scored nine points."

"I feel like I'm hallucinating."

"Excluding the director Xu Nan, I think there is nothing wrong with giving "The Beginning" a nine-point score."

"Actually, when the movie was first released, the ratings were artificially high. After a while, when more people see the movie, the ratings will slowly drop."

"Even this is terrifying."

"I have a hunch that the movie "The Beginning" will most likely be able to counterattack based on word of mouth."

"Don't worry, this movie has already made a comeback at the box office."

"It shouldn't be more than a billion."

On the fourth day, the media smelled a different atmosphere and began to cover "The Beginning" extensively.

"Xu Nan's sincere work started to shock. 》

"The public security department reminds that if you encounter a bomb while riding a bus, please call the police immediately. 》

"Industry expert: Li Shiqing's acting skills can be ranked second. 》

"Time loop and suspense, this is the best movie this year." 》

"Can the Beginning Be Beyond the Great Wall?" 》

This seems to be a signal, indicating many things.

Sure enough, the box office responded quickly.

On the fourth day, the box office of "The Great Wall" fell below 100 million, only 92 million.

The box office of "The Beginning" was 103 million.

By this time, "The Beginning" had not only surpassed "The Great Wall" in word-of-mouth, it had also surpassed the box office.

Judging from the current situation, it is almost impossible for "The Great Wall" to counterattack like "The Beginning".

In the hotel, the atmosphere was extremely dull.

Zhang Yange can't figure out why the audience's evaluation of the movie "The Great Wall" is so low.

This movie is indeed not perfect, but it's not like it has negative reviews across the internet.

confuse.

Puzzled.

This was completely different from what he expected.

The failure of "The Great Wall" was not a big blow to him, but the information revealed made him very worried.

It seems that he is beginning to lose control of the audience's preferences.

It's obviously a good movie in his eyes, but it's full of shortcomings in the eyes of the audience.

The producer had no choice but to persuade: "Intensify our publicity efforts. If we don't find a way to increase publicity, our box office performance will be too ugly."

"And Director Zhang, don't worry too much. We have invited Hollywood movie stars to star in this movie, and there are also overseas markets."

Zhang Yange nodded helplessly.

Yes, the movie still has overseas markets.

The other side.

Summit Film and Television, the atmosphere in the company is very cheerful.

"Sure enough, Mr. Xu took action and it was a sure kill immediately. Even Zhang Yange's "The Great Wall" could only restrain his hands."

"I have always known that Mr. Xu is talented, but I never thought that Mr. Xu's talent is so powerful."

"This time, Summit Films has changed a shotgun. Who will dare to say that all the movies we make are bad movies in the future? We can obviously make good movies."

"In the future, our movies will not only crush other film and television companies at the box office, but their reputation will also crush other film and television companies."

Everyone is happy.

The success of "The Beginning" not only cleared Xu Nan's reputation as a director of bad movies, but also benefited everyone in the company.

Listening to his men's flattery, Xu Nan smiled slightly: "Okay, the flattery ends here."

"Everyone has worked hard for this movie. Don't worry, I will give everyone a big red envelope when the movie is released."

"oh."

"Mr. Xu Yingming."

"Mr. Xu, you are so handsome."

The employees all cheered.

After all, giving out red envelopes is the most practical thing.

Mr. Xu is a good person.

After the employees' cheers ended, Xu Nan looked at Liu Yang.

"Old Liu, I have an idea for a movie."

Liu Yang asked: "What do you think?"

Xu Nan said directly: "Isn't "The Great Wall" very controversial? We can take advantage of the popularity of this movie to make a copycat film called "The Great Wall"."

"I have thought about the plot. In ancient times, terrible monsters appeared all over the world. People all over the world were in dire straits. Only China, with the protection of the Great Wall and black gunpowder, not only eliminated the monsters, but also thrived."

"At this time, the king of the Western Kingdom sent a group of soldiers to escort their prince to China for help. As long as he is willing to save them, the Western Kingdom is willing to become a vassal and pay tribute permanently."

“Considering that everyone is human, the Emperor of China upheld the spirit of internationalism and sent the imperial army to help, and used black gunpowder to completely eliminate the demons. The king and people of the Western Kingdom were moved to tears and vowed to be China’s little brother forever. .”

"What do you think of this script?"

Liu Yang was silent for a while, and then said: "The controversy will definitely be huge, and it will probably make Zhang Yange and some people unhappy."

Xu Nan smiled: "If the controversy is big, let it be big. Copycats are like porcelain. Controversy only attracts attention. As long as it can make money."

"Besides, Zhang Yange and the others have nothing to do with me."

"The biggest failure of "The Great Wall" is to let a foreigner save the Chinese people. The Chinese people don't need foreigners to save them at all. We can save ourselves."

"But it is a pity that many people are still unaware of this mistake. Our movie "Changcheng" is to remind them that China is the best."

Here he is, Mr. Xu is here again.

Liu Yang felt speechless.

A copycat is a copycat, but he still speaks righteously and righteously, as if he is very righteous.

As expected of Mr. Xu.

Xu Nan looked at Liu Yang: "Complete the preparation, shooting, and post-production within seven days, and then contact theaters for release. Are there any problems?"

Liu Yang showed a bright smile: "It's absolutely no problem. Mr. Xu, just wait."
