I Really Didn’t Want to Be Famous

Chapter 499: The first day box office of "Western Journey"

"It seems that I have seen myself in this movie, the ambitious self, the self who once compromised with the world, and then put on the golden hoop for the so-called magical powers. I know that many people may be full of this work. Because of my misunderstanding, I feel that this work is really too messy, illogical, and nonsensical plot, but...you have found that there is no reason behind these nonsensical things are actually a hint...a kind of innocence to growth, to A hint of loneliness..." Chen Mo, a well-known film critic, silently posted his opinion on his Weibo after reading the big story on Journey to the West.

"In fact, I have been drowsy watching the first half of the plot, because I think the first half of the plot is very unreasonable, so I can't even think about it. However, after the second half of the movie, it is accompanied by After the sound of "The Reed Dang", I suddenly realized that this movie might be reversed. I didn't expect it, I guessed it... Whether it's the innocence of Fairy Zixia or the helplessness of Supreme Treasure, whether it is other small characters Life... It seems that they are ourselves... I feel regret for not being able to appear in this movie... I signed up for Lu Director’s film twice and was rejected twice..." Liu Fangfei, a well-known artist of Joaquin "Big Westward Journey" clicked a like, and then there was a trace of emotion in Weibo, which seemed to be a little bit sour.

"If this film is regarded as an art film, then he would have failed. However, if he reads a person's life as a finished product and reflects the helplessness of a small person, he has a sense of substitution... Who is not a small person in the movie? Is the supreme treasure before becoming the Monkey King a small person? Even after becoming the Monkey King, is the Monkey King not a small person? This is a kind of sadness, the sadness of all of us..." The sociologist He Wangchuan also made headlines on Weibo...

"This is a comedy and a tragedy at the same time. If you really want to interpret it, then I think this movie is destiny, your destiny, my destiny, everyone's destiny..."

"this is……"

In the eyes of some experienced people, "Western Journey" is indeed a tear-jerking movie.

Behind all kinds of nonsense, they heard a deep sense of powerlessness.

They feel very touching.

"Journey to the West", which had already reached a low score of 3.0 on Tomato.com, suddenly emerged after the first screening of the movie. It rose to 6.7 in just a few hours. Not only that, it was originally ranked tenth in the new film list. "A Journey to the West" instantly reached third place, and even "A Journey to the West" on Tomato.com's new movie praise list also hit second, second only to the first "Dream Traveler"...

Of course, in a sense, this "Journey to the West" is really a weird and controversial movie.

In other words, "Journey to the West" is really wonderful.

why?

Because "A Journey to the West" on another list actually dominated the first place, which is tens of thousands more than the recognized bad film "The Third Under Heaven" in the second place...

This list is called the new movie bad review list!

Bad reviews?

Yes!

What shocked everyone in the Chinese film circle was that another new movie "Journey to the West" on the negative review list was even more aggressive, and it directly occupied the first place in the negative review list!

After everyone saw this phenomenon, their jaws suddenly dropped.

They feel a bit nonsense.

Since the birth of Tomato.com, either the movie is very **** and ranks at the top of the negative review list, or the movie is very praised, occupying the first place on the praise list, and has never been like "Western Journey", both occupying the second place on the praise list. , And occupy the first place in the bad reviews...

this is……

What do you mean?

Is this movie so tangled?

They looked at the comments on the negative reviews list curiously...

Ok.

The bad review list is indeed coming on fiercely. Basically, they are all nonsensical plots of the movie. All are the endings of the movie. Some writers headed by writer Liu Zhenqing criticized the movie for tampering with the classics, destroying the original, and destroying the movie. all……

As for the connotation of the film, the writer Liu Zhenqing does not think there is any connotation in this film, but feels that this film is simply a failure to force sensation...

However, the positive and negative reviews of "Western Journey" indirectly ignited the popularity of this movie and gradually boosted the popularity of this movie...

……………………………………

"What? Is this the box office on the premiere day of "Western Journey"?"

"Yes……"

"What is our box office?"

"Our box office is..."

"..."

Joaquin.

Xu Cancan's face suddenly turned pale.

It is in stark contrast with the ecstatic Shen Lianjie's expression...

Shen Lianjie stayed.

……………………

The Internet is full of noise and noise.

The scolding battle between good reviews and bad reviews continues.

However, for insiders, both bad reviews and good reviews are ultimately for the box office.

You **** movies at the box office, you are also a good movie, no matter how **** your movie is at the box office, you can't do the same...

after all……

Is a cheating movie that does not make money a good movie?

The night is getting deeper.

Wang Zhenxue sat in the office silently, waiting quietly for the arrival of the early morning.

When it was just past one o'clock in the morning, Xia Hong walked in with the report.

"Sister Xia, how is it? Has the box office come out?"

"Well, the box office is out..."

"How to say?"

"The box office of "Western Journey"... Hmm..." Xia Hong hesitated, then looked at Wang Zhenxue and seemed a little unspeakable.

"What's wrong?" After seeing Xia Hong's expression, Wang Jinxue knew that the box office might not be optimistic.

"Nineteen million..."

"Nineteen million? By the way, did you tell Lu Yuan?" When Wang Yunxue heard the number, she was silent for a while.

She seemed to be lost in thought.

The box office of 15 million is not considered to be a hit on the street, it is already considered as qualified.

However, in Wang Jinxue's view, the box office performance of "Western Journey" should be unsatisfactory.

"When I got the data for the first time, I came to find you... I... I don't know how to tell him this data, nor did I tell Wu Tingting. After all, it took so much energy and worked hard for so long. , The box office for the premiere is only so few, I think this should be a big blow to President Lu..." Xia Hong was also silent for a while, and then looked at Wang Jinxue.

She could imagine Lu Yuan's situation after answering the phone, and she could even clearly imagine Lu Yuan's expression after hearing the box office data.

President Lu's expression must be disappointed.

after all……

Such a good movie, but the premiere box office didn't even reach 20 million.

This……

"What is the box office of "Dream Traveler"?"

""Dream Traveler"..." Xia Hong hesitated, and finally let out a deep breath "Thirty Million!"

"..."

Wang Zhenxue became more silent after hearing this data.

She looked out the window.

The moonlight outside the window was very bright, but also very quiet.

Lu Yuan, who has always been incomparably proud, would he be disappointed if he received this news?

Although Lu Yuan has been controversial since his debut, he has always been smooth, and he has never suffered such a big blow.

and so……

The news is really difficult.

"Sister Xia, you go to bed first, I will tell him from Lu Yuan..."

"Well, trouble."

Xia Hong nodded, his chubby face twitched a little, then turned and left the office.

In the office, Wang Jinxue hesitated for a moment, and finally took out his cell phone and called Lu Yuan.

She knew that Lu Yuan must have not slept at this point.

"Hey?"

"Lu Yuan..."

"Uh, Jinxue, why are you still up?"

"are you OK?"

"I'm okay, I often have a runny nose, and I don't know when this cold is a head... Snee!"

"..."

On the other side of the phone, Lu Yuan sneezed again halfway through the conversation.

After sneezing, there was the sound of wiping my nose.

Obviously this cold made Lu Yuan feel helpless.

"I put cold medicine in my suitcase..."

"I ate it, but this time I got a cold and runny nose and it was quite speechless. When everything else got better, I sneeze and runny nose... It was very...but it's not right. I slept with you a few days ago. I've been in contact like this, why don't you have a cold, I have a cold..." Lu Yuan's voice sounded pretty good in spirit, and he ridiculed himself helplessly.

"My physique is better than you...you don't exercise much..." Wang Zhenxue's face inevitably blushed again.

"My physique is pretty good too... You know, the problem of the war for a long time is not big at all..."

"Bah... Lu Yuan, to tell you a serious matter, you have to be psychologically prepared..." Wang Zhenxue took a sip, and then after remembering what to say next, her voice became a little heavy.

"Why prepare? Yanxue, don't you tell me that I want to be a father? Isn't it such a short time... Ah, Yanxue, let me tell you, don't lie to me... Ah, numb, this sneeze There is no end? Who is scolding me behind!"

"Bah, Lu Yuan, where did you want to go... What I told you is not this... and I am not pregnant..."

"Then what are you talking about?"

"The box office on the premiere day of "A Westward Journey" came out."

"Huh? Out of the box office? How much?"

"You have a mental preparation first."

"I'm in a good mood... Come on, I can stand it!"

"Nineteen million..."

"What? How much?"

"Nineteen million..."

"Um...this..." On the other end of the phone, Lu Yuan's voice suddenly became hesitant.

"Lu Yuan...I know this data is difficult to accept, but this is the reality... Lu Yuan, it doesn't matter, this movie failed. We will continue with the next one. Life cannot always be smooth sailing..."

"?????"

Suddenly there was no sound on the other side of the phone.

seem……

At a loss.

"Lu Yuan, are you still listening? Lu Yuan, don't scare me..." After Wang Jinxue heard the sudden silence on the other end of the phone, she immediately hung her heart, and even a very bad scene suddenly appeared in her mind. .

this moment……

She wanted to buy a ticket right away to go to Yanjing to accompany Lu Yuan.

"Um... listening and listening, I'm thinking about how to hold the celebration banquet... Jinxue, do you want to put this celebration banquet in a five-star hotel?" Lu Yuan suddenly responded on the phone. come.

"You... are you okay? Or I will come over, I will come with you now... You will sleep well now, and when you wake up I will be next to you..." After seeing Lu Yuan's words Wang Zhenxue became even more worried, and immediately stood up.

She has always been calm, suddenly panicked...

"Don't... Jinxue, you are misunderstood, where did you think of it, this "Westward Journey" is not a good result at the box office of 19 million? It's a rush? Please, the box office of this movie's premiere exceeded my expectations , I also predicted a few hours ago that the box office for the premiere of this movie was 7 million..."

"???"

………………………………

"Xiao Lu... are you okay?"

"I'm fine……"

"Xiao Lu, actually..."

"..."

Lu Yuan hung up Chen Guanxiong's call.

Quite speechless.

"Lu Yuan...I'm sorry, I didn't shoot well..."

"..."

Lu Yuan hung up An Xiao's call and fell into a daze.

"Brother Lu...it's okay, our next movie will be even better..."
