Chapter 475: How Can A Movie Be So Good?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“No way… I thought I was watching a lousy movie. Who knew that after I finished watching Kung Fu, I was already stunned? How can this be called a lousy movie?”
“If anyone dares to say that this is a lousy movie, I’ll blow their dog heads off on the spot!”
“Oh my god, why is this movie so good? This scene, this plot, and finally, it’s simply explosive!”
“Oh my god, is this Xu Yang’s acting skills? Also, Su Muqing’s acting skills are simply shocking. She didn’t say a single line the entire time, but her acting skills… shocked me deeply.”
“I feel that there are no more than three actresses in the country who have better acting skills than Su Muqing. How can she be so beautiful and have such good acting skills?”
!!
“Amazing, this movie is too amazing. It’s the best movie I’ve seen in so many years!”
“It is most definitely not a lousy movie. Lin Fan’s movie has refreshed my worldview again. This movie was directed by Lin Fan. How can it be a lousy movie?”
“The screenwriter for this movie is also Lin Fan. I heard that Lin Fan directed the entire process. Ahhh, it’s too good. I feel it very deeply. What kind of filming technique and scene production is this? I don’t know anything else, but it’s just nice!”
…
When the first batch of the audience came out of the cinema, they were all stunned.
It had been a long time since such a wonderful movie appeared in the domestic entertainment industry.
The superb background, the actors with rich acting skills, the vivid plot, the beautiful special effects of the blockbuster, and the unique experience made these audiences really experience a blockbuster!
Whether it was a male or female actor, they had completely attracted the attention of the audience in this movie.
The male actor Xu Yang, the female actor Su Muqing, and Lin Fan personally directed the movie, vividly displaying the feelings and stories that this movie wanted to portray.
Even the cinema staff were stunned.
Although they were employees, they could occasionally watch one or two movies. After the movie was screened, they would clean up a little and make preparations for the next movie.
But they were all stunned and immersed in the movie.
After a long time, an employee said, “Lin Fan is awesome. It’s been 30 years. I’ve worked in the cinema for 30 years. Every time, I see Hollywood movies and Western blockbusters. Our domestic movies are rarely able to produce premium movies. But this movie is different. I feel that this movie will definitely become popular. It will definitely become popular!”
Then, the first day of the movie finished broadcasting.
The entire Internet’s evaluation of ‘Kung Fu Hustle’ had completely reversed!
Even Douban’s score increased from 6.3 to 8.5!
It was only the first day, but the Douban score had increased so much.
Especially Su Muqing and Xu Yang, they were even trending.
Countless viewers had become Su Muqing’s fans.
Of course, the one who left the deepest impression on the audience was Lin Fan.
Because this movie was directed by Lin Fan the entire time.
The fans all ran to Lin Fan’s Weibo to comment.
“I’m sorry, Director Lin, your movie is really too good. I didn’t expect that as a director, you would have such superb standards in movies. I admire you.”
“Director Lin, I’m sorry!”
“Director Lin, I’m sorry!”
…
All the comments were apologizing to Lin Fan.
The way these fans addressed Lin Fan changed from Lin Fan to Director Lin.
This was a huge recognition of Lin Fan.
After the first day of broadcasting, the box office was not too high.
It was still because of the screening times. Many viewers did not approve of it and the attendance was not high.
Although the box office earnings were not high, the comments were all good!
Wanda Cinema.
Li Zhengyi sat there, deep in thought.
A manager walked in and said respectfully, “CEO Li, the reviews for the movie ‘Kung Fu Hustle’ on the Internet are very positive. Even the ratings for Douban have increased to 8.5. Do you think we should increase the screening times?”
Li Zhengyi smiled and said, “Do you really think the movie ‘Kung Fu Hustle’ is popular? Let me tell you, the first day of box office sales for the movie ‘Kung Fu Hustle’ was only 1.8 million yuan. The attendance was less than 60%. This was even after I only gave 10% of the screening rate. Such data can already reflect a lot of things.”
The manager asked curiously, “But the good reviews online are a little strange…”
Li Zhengyi nodded. “This is the usual marketing method of some big companies. Many Weibo accounts will also control the comments. It’s because of this that if the means are strong enough, even the Douban ratings can be changed. No matter what the comments on the Internet are, the current data is like this. With this data, if it’s still like this tomorrow, I might lower the screening frequency.”
The manager was enlightened. “CEO Li is brilliant!”
The manager walked out silently and muttered, “I thought that Lin Fan was very awesome. He’s so popular on the Internet. Now, it seems like he’s just an ordinary director who knows how to control his comments. His movies are also average.”
At the same time, Tang Yuan was also a little shocked.
It was too abnormal.
The comments online were all good, but the results of the movie ‘Kung Fu Hustle’ were not good.
This also shocked Tang Yuan slightly. This could only mean one thing. Jiaxing Entertainment’s management methods were too brilliant.
Tang Yuan immediately contacted a small team.
The anti-fans team.
As long as they were paid, they could defame any television drama, celebrity, or movie.
Then, the captain of this small team, Zhao Min, brought people to watch a movie.
They could only find some dark spots and start scolding after watching the movie.
Soon, the next day arrived.
Zhao Min brought the team and personally went to the cinema to watch a movie.
When Zhao Min arrived at the cinema, she realized…
The cinema was filled with people!
All the scenes involving the movie ‘Kung Fu Hustle’ were filled!
Zhao Min was surprised. Didn’t they say that this movie relied on money to get promoted? Could it be that Jiaxing Entertainment was so amazing that they could control the attendance?
Wasn’t this too exaggerated?
“Jiaxing Entertainment’s methods are really amazing. I don’t believe that we can’t find a place to criticize you.” Zhao Min changed to another cinema.
After changing seven or eight cinemas in a row, they finally found one with seats.
Zhao Min wiped her sweat. “I’m so tired. I want to see what Kung Fu is like. As long as I find a flaw, I can start scolding and complete the mission!”
The movie was quickly over.
The audience left the venue reluctantly.
Only Zhao Min sat rooted to the ground.
She was crying.
She also wanted to find things to comment on. As a professional film critic, she could think of ways to defame a movie.
But this movie… was so good. How could she defame it?
If she insisted on looking for problems, she would definitely be able to find them.
But this movie… completely conquered Zhao Min.
Zhao Min called Tang Yuan. “CEO Tang, I’m sorry. I won’t accept this mission. Please find someone else.”
Tang Yuan frowned. “Why? I can pay more.”
Zhao Min said, “This isn’t a matter of money. CEO Tang, the movie ‘Kung Fu Hustle’ has far exceeded my expectations. I usually take on such orders because I’m a professional film critic. If I encounter a bad movie, even if I don’t have money, I’ll still scold it. But Lin Fan’s movie is too perfect!”
