The program team lost contact, and the character of Desert Island Live was reversed
Chapter 383 Box office success, word of mouth divided
At the end of "Ma Liang", Qiuxia was moved by Ma Liang and said movingly on the viewing platform:
"He chose a greater cause! In order to satisfy the people and the people of all ethnic groups in the country..."
Seeing this scene, Xiguajiang couldn't help but shook her head:
"It's the sublimation theme at the end again. Hey, it's the main theme after all."
However, on the screen, Ma Liang quickly stood up and interrupted his wife with an embarrassed look:
"Daughter-in-law, this is an observation deck, not a rostrum."
The knowing laughter echoed in the cinema again.
Not loud, but very relaxing.
Xiguajiang was stunned and quickly corrected her notes:
"The main melody is a rare restraint without any awkwardness. This interruption of spell casting is really interesting."
The short film ended, and there was a burst of applause in the theater.
The audience was very relaxed and looked forward to the next short film.
Su Zhe couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard the applause at the premiere.
In the previous life, "My Hometown and Me" was not a very high score (7 points) as a platter movie, but this "Ma Liang" is already very rare in propositional compositions.
Being able to produce such a beautiful comedy effect within the framework of the main theme of rural poverty alleviation, if scored separately, it would probably get 8 points, which is already very high among comedy films.
This also gave "China and Me" a good start.
Su Zhe was thinking when he saw the title of the film appeared on the big screen——
["China and Me", chief director: Zhai Xiaowen]
He was stunned for a moment, and You Mengli, who accompanied him to the premiere, asked angrily:
"What does he mean? Is "Ma Liang" not included in the movie?"
Su Zhe held her hand, squeezed it comfortingly, and said with a smile:
"It's normal for the film title to come out later, don't be angry."
Many movies are like this. The main film is played directly at the beginning to attract the audience, and then the title appears.
But as a platter movie, the intention of waiting until the first short film is finished before releasing the title is simply too obvious——
Cut it.
"Ma Liang" is a standalone film and belongs to Su Zhe; the following four short films are "Me and China" and belong to Zhai Xiaowen.
"Interesting. I didn't expect that we both wanted to cut off from each other. This can be considered a two-way journey, right?"
Su Zhe joked in his heart and looked at the big screen with interest.
He wanted to see what kind of movies Zhai Xiaowen could make? So confident.
On the screen, the second short film began to play.
In movie theaters everywhere, the audience is also very serious.
They had just watched a comedy movie for an hour and a half, and they were at their most focused moment.
But as the video played, Xiguajiang felt that the atmosphere in the air became gradually chaotic.
Someone took the opportunity to go to the toilet, but he insisted on watching it in order to do a movie review, but he found it boring.
As a semi-professional film reviewer, he can see that the director tried hard to tell a touching main theme story, but the level was not good enough and it was superficial, resulting in the final sublimation not being powerful enough.
The third short film that followed was suspected of using too much force, which made people feel a little embarrassed.
"This is a familiar feeling." Xiguajiang recorded casually, "I used too much force, and the purpose is greater than the plot."
It wasn't until the fourth short film "The Gardener" that Xiguajiang became interested.
This short film was well shot, with touching details captured in detail, and some sentimental viewers wiped away their tears.
But it's a pity that it came a little late. The quality of the first two short films was so poor that many viewers had lost their attention and stopped watching it so seriously.
It was not until the fifth and final short film, "Meteor," that the audience became serious again.
After all, this is a work directed by chief director Zhai Xiaowen. During the promotion period, it received the same publicity as "Ma Liang".
But as the short film played, the audience felt extremely awkward and always felt weird.
Xiguajiang also frowned. After watching the end, he finally figured out why "Meteor" gave him a strange feeling:
"Director Zhai doesn't seem to believe in the truth he preaches. He feels uncomfortable and it doesn't feel right when it's filmed."
…
Although ordinary movie theater audiences were not satisfied and were very disappointed with the final short film.
But in the premiere cinema, the invited audience still burst into loud applause——
Bang bang bang bang!
Su Zhe and other main creators came on stage, and the host cheered:
"It's really wonderful. Teachers, how do you feel?"
Chief director Zhai Xiaowen was the first to be interviewed. He nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile:
"The applause from the audience is our greatest encouragement."
Su Zhe glanced at him, and thinking about the content of the short film he just saw, he felt a little unsure:
"Am I asking too much? I think the filming was very poor! Why is the applause so enthusiastic and Zhai Xiaowen so confident?"
He forgot that when he and Zhai Xiaowen were at the top of the industry, it would be difficult to encounter doubts in person.
——When Master Huang was recording the song "One World One Dream", he asked people around him how he sang, and everyone praised the natural sound.
He believed it but didn't believe it and insisted on recording it three times. However, after it was released, it still became a joke that it was "too much".
Although Leader Huang was a big star in his previous life, he was nothing compared to him and Zhai Xiaowen now.
So at the premiere, both the host and the participating celebrities all praised the movie in an exaggerated tone.
Especially "Ma Liang" and "Meteor", two short films directed by them respectively, have received unanimous praise:
"As expected of Mr. Su and Director Zhai, their level is too high for us to match."
"There will be opportunities to cooperate in the future."
"The two teachers are amazing."
Amidst these compliments, Su Zhe couldn't help but look at Zhai Xiaowen, feeling unhappy:
"It's really Nan Murong and Bei Qiao Feng! How can I be tied with this person?"
Zhai Xiaowen also looked at him at the same time.
Judging by their eyes, I guess their inner activities are consistent.
This reminded Su Zhe of a poem:
I saw that Director Zhai was a bad person, but I thought that Director Zhai should be like this.
The two dislike each other, but at least in this movie, they are still comrades-in-arms.
Relying on the appeal of the two, "China and Me" has a single-day box office of 280 million.
It ranked second in the same period, behind the sequel to the hit, which is acceptable.
And the publicity draft prepared in advance was also launched. Basically, it was divided into two categories, boasting two people respectively——
"Su Zhe tried comedy for the first time, and the audience burst into laughter"
"Director Zhai's touching work, if you don't cry, you are not a Chinese"
But outside of the press release, netizens don’t flatter celebrities like celebrities, and almost only discuss "Ma Liang, the Magic Pen"——
[Su Zhe didn't lie, "Ma Liang" made me laugh to death, it was really funny. 】
[He is so good at doing a comedy for the first time, he is really a genius. 】
[Su Zhe has comedian genes, don’t forget that his variety shows are always interesting. 】
There are many comedy lines circulating, but the most popular part is still the one where he pretends to be offline.
Not because this is the funniest part, but because it’s the best to imitate.
Many short video internet celebrities have filmed various jokes. The approximate plot is -
The wife was checking the post, but the husband was hesitating. Seeing that he couldn't hide it, he had to stay still and pretend to be offline.
It also extends to various postures of stillness, such as handstands, etc.
After this joke became popular, many netizens laughed. @You Mengli:
[Keep an eye on your boyfriend. He has such a good brain that he can’t be fooled. 】
[Haha, does Su Zhe usually fool you like this? 】
[Be careful, with his IQ, he doesn’t even know he has sold you. 】
You Mengli replied:
[He sold me, and I helped him count the money. 】
Netizens laughed, and the movie's popularity continued to grow.
The next day, the single-day box office bucked the trend and grew to 350 million.
Due to the poor reputation of its competitors, "China and Me" managed to overtake it and topped the single-day box office list.
China Film immediately reported the good news to the main creators such as Su Zhe and Zhai Xiaowen, and also announced happily on Weibo.
On the third day, the single-day box office continued to increase to 380 million, becoming the first to exceed 1 billion in the same period and becoming the first in total box office during the same period.
Huaying is even more excited. It has been many years since there has been such a strong theme movie.
If there is a group of traffic in the movie, they will start to grab the credit now, and they will buy the manuscript to praise themselves.
But Zhai Xiaowen is a director after all, and he is still a famous director. He does not play such tricks and does not use public opinion to gain credit.
Su Zhe didn't even bother to use it. As long as he read the comments from netizens, anyone with a discerning eye would know whose credit it was.
But compared to the box office, the ratings in a certain category were a bit worse, with an opening score of only 6.6.
It's auspicious, but for Su Zhe, it's very shameful——
He's never had such a low rating.
But looking at the specific comments, you can tell that you can’t blame him:
[I only watch movies to watch "The Magic Brush, Ma Liang", what else is there! 】
["Ma Liang"\u003e"The Gardener"\u003eOthers\u003e\u003e"Meteor\
