Depressive screenwriter.

Chapter 210 The Aftertaste
Although the plot before the ending of 5 Centimeters per Second is delicately portrayed, strictly speaking it is just a story about two long-distance lovers who are eventually separated by the vast sea of ​​people and time.

Although the process of watching is uncomfortable, in fact most viewers can adjust themselves mentally.

But the train plot at the end is truly the highlight.

All the audience were looking forward to the end of the train journey, and even all the audience thought that since Toono Takaki was so deeply influenced by Akari during his growth process.

Even though he had a girlfriend after graduating from college, he broke up with her because he couldn't love her wholeheartedly. Eventually, he became numb to his work and quit.

The same should be true for Mingli.

The movie doesn't give too much of Ming Li's perspective, but basically all the audience think so.

Because in junior high school, Mingli's love for Takaki and Guimingli's love for him were equal.

In the first act, Takaki is so anxious on the train that he wants to cry because the train is delayed.

And Mingli's action of waiting for him until the early morning in that cold weather.

All the audience couldn't believe that such feelings would disappear completely over time.

But the result.
That's it.

At the end of the movie, a train passes by.

Takaki saw an empty scene on the other side of the railway.

He was stunned for a moment, then turned around with a smile on his face without looking back.
The male protagonist let it go.

But what about the audience?
Late in the evening, those who brought their partners to the cinema to support Su Yan were completely dumbfounded.

It's not that I didn't expect that there would be a depressive plot. After all, Su Yan has so many criminal records.

But what Su Yan said in an interview that the protagonist of the movie ended with a smile was too misleading.

So that's how you laugh?

Are you kidding me?
And even if the ending is not good, the worst expectation is that the hero and heroine cry and then separate for a while like in The Garden of Words, but didn't the hero of The Garden of Words say that he would go find Yukino later? So it is half depressing and acceptable.

5 Centimetres per Second What is this?
The couple who once loved each other so much ended up without even looking back at each other.

Mingli is not willing to wait for him for a few seconds?

Just like this, the fate of the two people will completely become strangers in the crowd?

A group of audience members in the theater in Xia Country already felt that something was wrong.

Especially those couples in the audience, they all walked out of the theater in silence and with red eyes.

Although this is just a movie, art comes from life.

If you savor and think about the plot of this movie carefully, it seems to be closer to reality.

So, love disappears, right?
The love between Takaki Tono and Akari Shinohara will fade with time.

What about people in real life?
Emptiness, depression, and discomfort are all mixed in my mind.

Eventually, "5 Centimeters per Second" became the number one trending search on the four major online streaming platforms.

"Brothers, I can't stand it anymore."

"Wow, as a girl, I cried my eyes out outside the cinema after watching it."

"I envy you girls, cry if you want. I'm a guy smoking in the cinema bathroom, and I miss my ex-girlfriend. She and I broke up for no apparent reason!"

"Originally, my girlfriend and I had a fight and were about to break up, so I wanted to go to the movies with her to ease the tension. But after watching Five Seconds, I broke up with her straight away. There was no point in easing the tension! Takaki and Akari had already broken up, so it was only a matter of time before our relationship ended!"

"Brother, don't get too caught up in the drama, it's just a movie."

"So what about the movie? The movie just inspired me. I figured out the truth on my own. Indeed, I feel it's meaningless now!"

"I'm a fool, why would I go to see this movie?"

"I'm reminded of my first love."

"I was going to watch this movie with my boyfriend. After the movie, I thought of my first love. She was secretly looking through photos of her ex-boyfriend on her phone in the car. I spied her through the rearview mirror. I felt like my relationship with her was going to end!"

"Su Yan, you are sick, aren't you?"

"It's so sad! After watching this movie, my heart feels empty now!"

"Ah, I kind of want to scold Su Yan, the old thief, but I also think this ending is a stroke of genius! No matter how it is changed, it won't be better than this!"

"Four movies are showing tonight. I haven't seen the other three. Has anyone seen the others? Are they good? Which one has higher box office?"

"No one can tell at this time. Tonight's box office champion should be Windmill, which has such a high screening schedule. But the following ones will be different. Four movies are released at the same time, but 5 Centimeters per Second has topped the trending search list on all four major online streaming sites at 9 o'clock, which already explains a lot of problems."

"This is the first time I've seen Su Yan's work. I'd like to ask you fans of Su Yan on the forum, has he always been like this? Are all his works in this style?"

"Definitely not! In his previous works, at least someone would die if they were depressed. So everyone knew that his pure love movies wouldn't be too sad. Who knew 5 Centimeters per Second would be like this? It was so sad."

"I can't sleep, so I went to Ciyuan Film and Television's official website to criticize him."

"Wow, I am guilty. I am sick. I went looking for trouble late at night and thought of my first girlfriend."

"This movie has too much going on. I need to slow down."

"No, I can't be the only one being tortured. Everyone, please promote this movie so that more couples can watch it in the cinema."

"That's right. This kind of work can't just benefit us Su Yan fans. It needs to be appreciated by more people."

"rush"

Over the course of the night, fans of 5 Centimeters per Second who came out of the theater began posting various posts about the movie on the Internet.

In fact, the Xia country’s film and television media have long known that Su Yan’s works may be criticized, but the key is to see what the fans criticize?
If you call a work rubbish, then there is nothing to say, the work must be rubbish.

But this situation has not happened yet. However, once fans start scolding Su Yan, it means that this work has the tendency to become a big hit.

The fact that "16 Centimeters per Second" had % of the screening time ultimately gained such a high profile on the Internet speaks volumes. This speaks volumes.

It's past midnight.
The box office data for a number of movies released on July 16 were also counted in the early hours of the morning.

The box office champion recently is naturally the movie "Windmill", which has the highest screening schedule and was the most anticipated movie before its release.

The total box office on the first day of release on Friday was 9800 million.

It was just a little bit away from breaking 100 million.

Judging from the data, unless there are major surprises on Saturday and Sunday, the single-day box office will definitely exceed 100 million yuan.

The list of today's box office runner-up films has also been released.

8300 Centimeters per Second ranked second with a box office of million.

However, there are many key points to be discovered if we analyze this box office data carefully.

On the first day of its release, there was also a 16% black fog over the screening schedule, and the first-day box office was only 5900 million.

You know, these three movies all star a group of well-known Xia country movie stars.

In terms of the cast, they are of the same level.

The Windmill is slightly better, while Second Five and Black Mist are on par.

Since there is no big difference in the cast, why is the box office of Black Fog so much lower than that of 5 Centimeters per Second on the first day of its release under the same screening schedule?

On the first day of release, how could word of mouth affect the box office?
There’s no word of mouth yet?

The reason is also easy to guess.

The cast can't make a big difference.

In terms of directing level, Director Kuroki is even more famous.

That leaves only the screenwriter's off-field factors at work.

The screenwriter of 5 Centimeters per Second is Su Yan
Although Su Yan did not act in this movie, among his large number of TV drama fans, a considerable number of them chose to support 5 Centimeters per Second tonight just because of his fame.

A group of colleagues in the film industry were somewhat silent.

The screening schedule of a movie on the day of its release is mainly determined by the marketing of the main creative team before the movie is released and their personal connections in the industry.

But after a movie is released, the screening ratio of the movie will depend on its quality.

Attendance, ratings, and word of mouth are all crucial influencing factors.

Cinema owners are not doing charity. They like shorter movies more, and one theater can schedule several more shows a day.

Not to mention the attendance.

Both of these are accounted for in 5 seconds.

In the early morning, scores for each movie were released by hundreds of thousands of fans.

9.4 Centimeters per Second, which was scolded by a group of fans and became a hot topic on the Internet that night, had an opening score of .

Among the four blockbusters on the first day, the comedy movie "Someone's All Right" had the lowest box office and scored 8.9.

The fantasy film The Black Fog scored 7.8.

Before its release today, The Windmill was the most anticipated movie in the industry, and it is believed that it is very likely to be the box office champion of the summer season.

The score on the first day was 9.0.

After the data came out, a group of people working in the film industry increasingly expressed that something was wrong that evening.

Some movies have high ratings, but their box office is not high because of the niche subject matter or plot.

Some movies are pure popcorn movies that look interesting but actually receive average ratings from audiences.

But a truly hit movie must have both commercial appeal and good reputation.

Windmill's score of 9.0 is already a very high opening score.

Moreover, the box office on the first day was just a little bit away from breaking 100 million, which is actually a pretty good result.

But no matter how you look at it, it seems that the data of 5 centimeters per second is not wrong at all!

Although the box office on the first day was only 8300 million, 16% of the screenings were there.

The small number of screenings you have will definitely have an impact on the box office.

And the fans of this movie gave such high ratings?
What does 9.4 mean?
This is the second highest-scoring film in the country's film industry this summer.

The movie that ranked first in the opening score had a good reputation, but its total box office was less than 100 million yuan, so it was well received but not popular.

While colleagues are still thinking about it, cinema managers and theater owners have already expressed their attitudes through actions.

Saturday, April 7.

The screening schedules of the two films "22 Centimeters per Second" and "The Windmill" increased at the same time, and they were tied at % of the screening schedule.

The screening schedule of Black Fog remains unchanged, while the screening schedule of A Sad Family movie is slightly reduced.

The screening schedule of war movies which had been released for a week was suddenly reduced, and the screening schedule of those small and medium-budget movies that had basically no screenings was cut in half.

The cruelty of this summer movie market is beginning to show.
