Half a month later.
The Spring Festival stalls are basically settled.
Rivers of blood flowed.
Of course, it was "Shadow" who was killed and bloodied.
Killed in rivers of blood are other movies.
Including but not limited to "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demon" and "Havoc in Tianzhu".
The reputation of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" was already bad when it was screened before. After it was officially released during the Spring Festival, it has been going down even further, especially in the context of "Shadow".
There is really no way around this.
Let’s not talk about the plot and grand war scenes of “Shadow”, which are basically zero negative reviews. Let’s just talk about the acting skills of the actors. What is the lineup of “Shadow”
Facing the cheating Yue Guan, Deng Chao is still dazzling, and Hu Jun, one of the most heroic actors in the whole country, can even be eliminated in the minds of many people.
Even the supporting roles are all actors of Wang Qianyuan's level.
It’s really an all-round beating.
Not to mention that in this world, because of Yue Guan's relationship, Wu RAP's popularity as a traffic star is much lower than in his previous life. Even if Wu RAP is now a top player, he can't do it.
The so-called top-notch little fresh meat has never been awesome in the film industry.
In the Chinese film industry, those who are qualified to say they have box office appeal are all from the Mesozoic generation from the mainland.
Neither can anyone else.
Not to mention the little fresh meat, I have been publishing drafts for so many years, stepping on so many little fresh meat, and getting the appreciation of so many big directors. As a result, Lin Chaoxian still became a god after becoming a god in "Operation Mekong" and "Operation Red Sea". Inflated, "Emergency Rescue", a military blockbuster that is also based on a real maritime rescue incident and has invested 700 million in the movie, did not cast a mainland actor, but gave the male lead to a hard-working classmate.
Then it cooled down gorgeously.
The investment was 700 million, but the box office was less than 500 million.
The box office appeal of a great director
The box office appeal of hard-working classmates
It's all nonsense.
Now, those who are qualified to say that they have box office appeal are really Deng Chao, Huang Bo, Xu Zheng, Wu Jing and several other mainland Mesozoic actors. Those who are superstitious about young meat and Hong Kong and Taiwan stars are all in disgrace, without exception.
And "Journey to the West: Conquering Demons" not only has a superstitious belief in the little fresh meat, but also plays the old tricks of Hong Kong and Taiwan.
It is a high probability that the audience will not like it.
Even if "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" was produced and written by Zhou Xingchi and directed by Xu Ke, it would be the same.
The reality is that if you want the audience to spend real money to support your movie, you must produce a quality that is worthy of the audience.
It has become increasingly difficult to take shortcuts in the film market.
In this regard, the film industry is still more real than the TV industry. Ratings are easy to gain and albums are easy to buy. However, movie box office is really hard to gain. It costs too much money and the supervision is too strict.
But "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demon" is not the worst.
The worst is Baoqiang's "Havoc in Tianzhu".
The reason why Baoqiang is miserable has nothing to do with "Shadow".
It was the crew of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demon" who took action.
After the crew of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" confirmed that they were no longer able to compete with "Shadow", they turned their attention to "Havoc in Tianzhu". Only one competitor can be killed.
They no longer wanted to eat meat with "Shadow", but they wanted to drink the biggest mouthful of soup, so "Havoc in Tianzhu" came into the sight of the crew of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demon".
Both Baoqiang and "Havoc in Tianzhu" were taken out and hammered.
Originally, when the audience watched "Havoc in Tianzhu", they basically rushed to give Bao Qiang sympathy points.
But the quality of "Havoc in Tianzhu" really doesn't deserve the audience's sympathy.
"Journey to the West: Conquering the Demon" at least tells a complete story.
"Havoc in Tianzhu"... I went there just to make money and regain blood. Douban scored 3.7 points.
As we all know, a so-called good movie with a Douban score of 7 or above may not necessarily be good, but a movie with a Douban score of less than 5 is really bad.
If you get a high score, it depends on yourself, if you get a low score, it depends on Douban. This is basically correct.
3.7 points... is already a score that is basically cast aside.
To compare horizontally, Liu Yifei's "Mulan" still has a score of 5 points. The quality is 3.7 points. Just think about how bad it will be.
This quality is too easy to single out and target.
In addition, Baoqiang himself was also targeted.
Bao Qiang looks silly, but honesty is his protective color. In fact, there are no fools among grassroots celebrities who can make it in the entertainment industry. On the contrary, the more grassroots celebrities are, the more ruthless they are when they should be ruthless.
Song Jiji was later sent directly to prison by Bao Qiang. It is estimated that few people know this. Song Jiji was sentenced to six years in prison, and he stated in court that he would not appeal.
Obviously, Baoqiang took hold of his life gate.
There are many celebrities in the entertainment industry who have been forgiven. They can gain the sympathy of the national audience. They can also send the people who put the forgiveness hat on them to jail and make them dare not even think about resisting. Apart from Baoqiang, there is really no one else. Two people did it.
Think about Zhen Nailiang, who was also a national sensation and had a rich second-generation persona. What was the result
Compared with Baoqiang's methods, it is a judgment call.
Later, Baoqiang directly guaranteed a box office of 2.8 billion for Ning Hao's "Crazy Alien".
At that time, it had only been two years since Baoqiang was accused of being forgiven.
Baoqiang can already provide a guarantee of 2.8 billion.
Many people feel sorry for Baoqiang...
This is no longer about feeling sorry for a billionaire.
Billionaires have to be followed by a zero.
Of course, only those who are careful can observe the real Baoqiang clearly.
For most netizens, Baoqiang is a poor honest man who was cheated by his agent and his wife.
Audiences feel sorry for honest people, and well-meaning audiences are willing to support them.
This is actually one of Bao Qiang's character designs. "Havoc in Tianzhu" wants to make money, and it relies on this sympathy point.
Then "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demon" directly tore Baoqiang's protective color away.
Many netizens have realized a real and three-dimensional Baoqiang.
Then netizens discovered that even though they were labeled as such, they seemed to be unworthy of sympathizing with Baoqiang as a working class worker.
then…
Deng Chao sighed with emotion: "It's too much. How can there be such a gangster? The people in Xiangcheng are really good at what they do. Baoqiang had a good relationship with them before."
"When it comes to interests, how can there be any sympathy?" Zhang Yimou shook his head and said: "We should be grateful that the quality of "Shadow" is online. They have nothing to attack, otherwise "Shadow" might be the one being attacked now."
"That's too much. This is to drive out "Havoc in Tianzhu"." Deng Chao was a bit sad.
In his eyes, it is completely understandable that Baoqiang encountered such a thing and wanted to take the opportunity to make some money.
He would probably do the same thing if it were him.
Yue Guan glanced at Deng Chao and said calmly: "If "Havoc in Tianzhu" has the quality of "Shadow", will the audience not watch it because the director is too rich?"
Deng Chao: “…”
"Actually, there are not so many reasons. In the final analysis, Baoqiang's movies are terrible. It doesn't matter if you create a character, but it is eternal to contribute good works to the audience. There is a saying, Brother Chao, don't forget that in competitive sports, food is the original sin .”
During the Spring Festival, military strategists must compete for the battleground. Everyone's competition is inherently free without prohibition by law.
This is competition.
Therefore, food is the original sin.
It is normal and appropriate to be scolded for making a bad movie.
Not unjust.
