Depressive screenwriter.

Chapter 237 Release
At seven o'clock in the morning, many veteran movie fans in Xiaguo could hardly sleep.

Humans are such strange creatures.

I can’t wake up every day when I’m at work, and I feel guilty if I sleep ten minutes more on vacation.

If you don’t sleep in during the weekdays, isn’t that a waste of life?
But if you spend your precious holiday sleeping, isn’t that a waste of life?

On the forum, movie fans from all walks of life started discussing early in the morning.

"Before the release of "Breaking the Array", the pre-sale was 1.8 million, the pre-sale of "Rurouni Kenshin" was 1.7 million, and the pre-sale of "The Fake Detective" was 1.5 million. Judging from the situation, the box office of these three movies on the first day will probably exceed million!"

"The same is true for the screening schedule. 22%, 21%, and 20% of the three films form an arithmetic progression. The competition is a bit intense."

"It still depends on the word of mouth on the first day. Whoever has the best word of mouth and the highest attendance rate on the first day will basically secure victory."

"Online ratings and word-of-mouth are meaningless. These movies cost hundreds of millions of dollars to make. Wouldn't it be a waste of money to buy off the websites and make some fake ratings? Let me tell you, if you don't want to be tricked into going to the cinema to watch shit, just go to the forums and read the reviews. Although there may be trolls and haters causing trouble, if five out of ten people who watch a movie say it's good, it's basically not bad."

"Five people? Isn't this rating too low?"

"You don't understand internet trolls? Some people find fault with every work they watch. They scold the screenwriter, the director, the actors. What movie doesn't have some flaws? But these people will ignore any other advantages of the work as long as there is a little flaw. If you include these people, it's not bad for a work to have such a high praise rate."

"I watched Rurouni Kenshin at 10am this morning. I watched Pokémon Go at 12pm. I watched The Fake Detective at 3pm. I will post a movie review at 8pm. If you have time to watch movies on or after the second day of the Chinese New Year, you can follow me. It's absolutely objective and truthful, so you can avoid pitfalls."

"Me too. I'm very interested in that martial arts action swordsman movie. I saw the trailer and promotional video on the Internet before. It's really cool."

"Don't be fooled by the trailer. Maybe the movie only has a few cool shots in the trailer, and there won't be many big scenes in the actual movie! Just like the garbage called Photon City during the Spring Festival last year. I wasted 50 yuan and now I feel bad."

"Don't even mention City of Lights. That rubbish movie grossed 18 billion. Really, Xia Country movies are getting worse every year. Whoever has the money to buy screenings and trending searches will have a higher box office. The movie I liked during the Spring Festival last year was only shown once a day in the theater at : in the evening. Who would watch a movie at that kind of hellish time?"

"There's nothing we can do about it. If you don't have money, don't release it during the Spring Festival. If you don't spend money on publicity during this period, and the movie isn't well-known before it's released, how can the theaters schedule it for screening? You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a lamb. These movie investors should learn from the old thief Su Yan. He started from scratch, but he dared to release his fourth movie during the Spring Festival. His publicity and promotion investment is not inferior to those big capitalists in the film industry. That's how he fought for 21% of the screening schedule."

"Do you think everyone is Su Yan? The TV drama industry in Xia Country is his blood warehouse. Not to mention that none of the movies he shot have failed. Even if they did fail, at most he would have to work hard for a few months. He can make a lot of money by shooting two TV dramas. Other movie investors have invested their entire life savings in just one movie. How can they be as bold as this old thief?"

"You're praising Su Yan again. You Su Yan fans are hilarious. Do you really think that Jian Xin's movie will be a hit during the Spring Festival? The Spring Festival and summer vacation are two completely different markets. I'll laugh at you Su Yan fans crying and making excuses for your master's box office failure after today."

"Let's go ahead. The pre-sale of Jianxin has reached 1.7 million. I hope you don't delete the post when I leave a message under this post tonight."

"A spin-off movie of a rubbish TV series with a budget of about one million yuan has been hyped up by you Su Yan fans. What do you mean by the ceiling of Xiaguo's martial arts TV series? Have you never seen any good works?"

"I don't know if you are being too harsh on the haters above. You all know that the total investment in the TV series of Kenshin is over one million. Now that you know it so clearly, wouldn't you be willing to spend one dollar to go to Sakura.com to unlock the first episode of the TV series and watch it? If you have watched the first episode of the TV series of Rurouni Kenshin, you will know why we Kenshin fans are so looking forward to the movie version?"

"Ignore these people. They are probably haters hired by our competitors to play opposite roles. If you pay attention to them and stir up the topic, they will make money."

Early in the morning, Qin Yisan watched with great interest the arguments among fans on various websites and forums.

She has been a loyal fan of the male lead actor Ying Rui in the movie "Breaking the Array" for many years.

However, in the theater near her home, the largest and most luxurious theater for the movie "Breaking the Array" is not available until 12 noon. In order to have the best viewing experience, she decided to watch Rurouni Kenshin before watching "Breaking the Array" at 12 noon.
After all, fans of both sides have been arguing fiercely on the Internet these days.

Although she supports Po Zhen because she likes the actor Ying Rui, she will not make negative comments on the Internet.

To put it bluntly, her view has always been not to comment on things you don't understand.

If she wants to argue with Su Yan's fans on the Internet or forums and comment on why "Pozhen" is better than "Rurouni Kenshin", she has to have watched both movies before she has the right to speak.

After washing up, I had breakfast and then went for a morning run to the cinema near my home. At this time, it was only 9:35.

But the cinema was already packed.

In the center of the cinema hall, three-dimensional posters of the three Spring Festival blockbusters, "The Breaking Bad", "Rurouni Kenshin" and "The Fake Detective", are displayed.

After picking up the ticket at the ticket office, Qin Yisan also received a small Rurouni Kenshin commemorative item distributed by the production team of Rurouni Kenshin at the cooperating cinema.

This is a peripheral product that is only available at premiere screenings in certain theaters. A photo album of the characters of Rurouni Kenshin.

The manual will briefly summarize the character's background in one or two sentences without involving spoilers.

While waiting for the movie premiere, Qin Yisan leaned against the wall of the cinema hall and flipped through the brochure because there were no seats left.

The first page showed a handsome man with long flowing hair, holding a reverse blade knife, and a cross wound on his left cheek. His calm eyes made her feel a little scared.

But even though she has never watched the Rurouni Kenshin TV series, she has learned from Su Yan's fans' comments that the story of the TV version of Kenshin seems to be very tragic.
“It seems to be okay.”

Qin Yisan doesn't watch TV dramas on weekdays.

But a lot of her close friends like Su Yan very much. She used to sneer at him, but when she saw him in ancient costume, she was really impressed by his handsomeness.

Continue scrolling down.
The final photos of important characters such as Kamiya Kaoru, Yukishiro Tomoe, Sagara Sanosuke, and Saito Hajime appeared one by one.

"If you just look at the shape, it seems to be in line with my aesthetic!"

Qin Yisan said honestly that she is a face lover, and she will naturally get a big drop in the score when the actors in a work are not good-looking.

Her interest was slightly piqued, and she wanted to use her mobile phone to search the general plot of the Rurouni Kenshin TV series on the Internet.

However, when an announcement sounded in the theater, reminding the audience to line up to watch Rurouni Kenshin at 10 o'clock, she put the idea aside.

If the movie version is good, you can go watch the TV version after leaving the theater.

"If it doesn't look good," Qin Yisan sneered.

She is a relatively well-known blogger on the Internet, and she will post a message to criticize him when the time comes.

With many emotions, Qin Yisan entered the theater.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the cinema attendance rate was extremely high. On normal days, there would be dozens of people entering the cinema for a screening.

And today, the house is packed.

Many of the people entering were dressed strangely.

Some people were wearing Japanese kimonos and carrying swords, with a cross drawn on their faces.

Qin Yisan knew who he was cosplaying at first glance.

Some people were wearing bright yellow tops and had their hair styled in explosive styles.

Some people dye their hair blue.

Someone is wearing a shameful pink dress
Although Qin Yisan had never watched Su Yan's TV series, she roughly understood these people. They were probably cosplaying characters from Su Yan's previous works.

"His fans are not socially phobic at all!"

Qin Yisan, sitting alone in the middle of the theater, surrounded by a group of people in strange costumes, felt a little embarrassed.

After all, among a group of abnormal cosplayers, she, a normal person, is an outlier.

But at this moment, the lights in the theater went dark and the movie screen lit up.

Qin Yisan breathed a sigh of relief. The movie started.
