It's reasonable for me, a stuntman, to live a crazy life, right?

Chapter 1301: Did the animated movie scare the kids into tears?

#Let’s go to the movies on New Year’s Day! #
The next morning, seeing this headline on Weibo's hot search headlines, colleagues in the entire film and television industry were all excited.

Especially for several film and television companies that have new films released during the Spring Festival, they are eager to add a wave of traffic and popularity to this hot search!

"During the epidemic last year, everyone was stuck at home during the Spring Festival, unable to go out, and I'm afraid that this year, there will be revenge consumption."

During a phone call in the morning, Huo Qigang expressed his thoughts and predictions based on his rich experience in theater operations.

Chen Fei agreed, "That's for sure. Now it all depends on the subsequent traffic. We don't expect it to return to the pre-epidemic level, but it would be great if we can get half of it."

"Half of them are for sure, especially Detective Chinatown 3. Wow, it's not even 10 o'clock yet and the box office sales have already exceeded million. It's really amazing!"

"Let's wait and see. The box office growth is most exaggerated during the noon and afternoon. Those who slept in on New Year's Eve will wake up, and the cinemas will definitely be packed for a few days."

"Haha, that's better. This way, our revenue pressure will be less."

After chatting for a while about the situation of cinema chains and theaters, Chen Fei specifically asked about the situation of the movie "Raging Fire".

"We can start filming after the sixth day of the Lunar New Year." Huo Qigang first gave a specific time, but then added in a complicated tone: "Chen Long told me that he wanted to arrange for his son to help behind the scenes."

"Ah." Chen Fei sighed, "Let him be, as long as he doesn't appear on the big screen, I'll just give him face."

"Yeah, I think so too."

Sometimes Chen Fei really couldn't understand why Chen Long was so capable and famous, but his son became like this?
Even if Chen Long doesn't have time to educate his child, doesn't Fang Zuming still have a mother?

What is Lin Fengjiao doing?
Doesn't she care about her son?
Chen Fei couldn't figure it out and decided not to think about it anymore.

After hanging up the call with Huo Qigang, he returned to the kitchen and helped Liu Yifei bring out the dumplings.

He first scooped one into his son's bowl and let the little guy eat it himself with a spoon. Then he started to put dumplings into his own bowl.

While eating, he checked the film reviews of "Detective Chinatown 3" on the Internet.

As the time approached 10 o'clock, the opening score data of Douban and Maoyan came out.

One is 8.4 points and the other is 9.2 points, both are above the passing line, which is considered to be very good scoring data.

Chen Fei's eyes stayed on the Douban rating page for a long time.

As a veteran director and movie fan, he has always had his own criteria for judging the ecology of film review platforms.

Although Maoyan’s data is lively, it is like a layer of bubbles floating on the water. It seems to be boiling, but in fact most of it comes from the filtered evaluations of the fan group, which are inevitably biased by subjective emotions.

In contrast, Douban is more like a world of "crouching tigers, hidden dragons".

Whether it is a passerby who occasionally walks into the cinema, a professional film critic with a sharp pen, or a deep lover who regards movies as a spiritual habitat, everyone can leave their true feelings here without scruples.

Those words, whether delicate or sharp, are like a prism, reflecting a work in a more three-dimensional way.

In fact, when it comes to authenticity, Tieba was once the "white moonlight" in his heart.

I remember when I was hanging out on forums in my early years, there were always some amazing and in-depth analyses in the movie-related forum groups.

Some people can analyze the language of the camera frame by frame, others will dig deep into the social metaphors behind the script, and even the echo of the soundtrack and light and shadow can be written into a special post of thousands of words.

But since the revision of Tieba, the entire interface has become flashy and noisy, and the atmosphere of once focused discussion has been completely replaced by fragmented jokes and memes.

Now when you open the forum, you can see that the whole screen is filled with jokes from "funny people".

As for those practical things that will make people's eyes light up, they are becoming increasingly difficult to find.

Looking around, each platform seems to have its own life cycle. The soil that once flourished has gradually changed its appearance under the wind and rain of the times.

However, "Detective Chinatown 3" is still the "funny" Chinatown Detective series movie and has not changed much.

At least that's what many movie fans and viewers think.

"Oh my god, I've been waiting for three years, and finally I've seen Detective Chinatown 3. I watched the midnight show, it was pretty good, it was still the familiar style, especially the Tokyo street fight at the beginning, which was comparable to the big brawl in New York."

“Go-karts, hot springs, and 2D cosplay, watching the whole movie felt like following the protagonists on an adventure on the streets of Tokyo. It was a lot of fun! Highly recommended!”

"Family, Detective Chinatown is a must-see! Those talented actors in Xiao Ri Zi are really awesome! Their acting is really good."

"The storyline of the locked room murder case and the Q organization runs parallel, the rhythm is tight and not dragged out, and the picture quality is superb. I say that Detective Chinatown 3 is the best of this year's Spring Festival. No one should disagree, right?"

"Mystery + detective stories + comedy, just watch it and you'll be satisfied. As long as it's a work by Feiyue Films, you will definitely not be disappointed."

After silently leaving a little red heart for one of the highly praised film reviews, Chen Fei turned off his phone and looked at his son who was already shouting that he was full.

"Drink some more soup. Dad and Mom will take you out to play today."

"Great!"

The little guy couldn't wait to go out and play.

Not to mention drinking soup, even if he was asked to take calcium tablets that he didn't like, he would have absolutely no objection.

At the same time, while Chen Fei was out playing with his wife and son, several other film and television companies were busy.

Especially Alibaba Pictures and Light Chaser Animation.

At first, they imagined that "New Gods: Nezha Reborn" would be able to be as popular as "Nezha: The Devil Child Comes into the World" during the Spring Festival.

But I never expected that after a morning, the film's real-time box office was only over 2000 million? !
Is this still a joke?

Not to mention catching up with "Nezha: The Devil Child Comes into the World", if things continue like this, I'm afraid it won't even be able to compare with "Boonie Bears: Wild Continent".

It's so damn embarrassing!

"Are the marketing and promotion results very unsatisfactory? Why did this happen?" Fan Luyuan looked at Hong Jiawei, the department manager in charge of distribution, puzzled.

"Mr. Fan, the situation is very complicated." Hong Jiawei frowned slightly, looking very distressed and not knowing how to express himself.

Fan Luyuan guessed his thoughts at a glance, and his face immediately darkened, "Just say whatever you want to say. It's still early now. If there is still a chance to correct it, we must immediately launch corresponding countermeasures."

"Yes……"

Hong Jiawei gritted his teeth, stamped his feet, stood up and said: "First of all, the competition is too fierce. The concurrent Hello, Li Huanying and Detective Chinatown 3 not only have strong publicity, but also have a wide audience, attracting a large number of viewers, strongly squeezing out the screening and box office space of New Gods: Nezha Reborn.

Then many fans said that the plot of our movie was too dragged out, the protagonist was too pretentious, the supporting characters were relatively flat, lacked cuteness, and were difficult to resonate with the audience.

Finally, it’s about the style of the film. The cyberpunk style is not suitable for domestic audiences. Many children even cried when they watched it..."

At this point, the reasons behind this are actually no longer important.

An animated film, because its style is so weird and evil, it actually scared the children to tears.

How can this be compared to "Ne Zha"?

You know, the latter's ugly and cute style has attracted a lot of children's love.

During the release period, all peripheral products were sold out!
However, the style and audience of "New Gods: Nezha Reborn" are obviously niche groups and adult audiences.

Without the love of children, it is equivalent to the lack of parents' company, and the cinema chain will not be able to sell snacks and drinks...

Due to the superposition of multiple factors, the road ahead for this movie is destined to be bumpy.

After realizing this, Fan Luyuan's eyes swept over Wang Wei, CEO of Light Chasing Animation, calmly.

"Nezha Reborn" is just the first part, and there will be another "Yang Jian" to follow.

It's okay if the previous one fails, but if both films have problems, then Alibaba Pictures' road to animated films will probably be doomed.

Just thinking of this, Fan Luyuan couldn't help feeling a little puzzled.

"This Feiyue Films... Oh, no, what's the matter with this Chen Fei? He is so good at everything he does? Where do all these ideas come from?"

……

"Dad, Boonie Bears is still the best show. Big Bear and Little Bear are so powerful. Bald Qiang is also so powerful. He can defeat so many monsters..."

From the time he came out of the mall until he got in the car, Xiao Shitou was still vividly describing what he had just seen in the cinema.

Just like other kids, he cheered for Big Bear and Little Bear for a long time and finally helped them defeat the monster!

Chen Fei smiled cheerfully: "When Dad is not busy for a while, I will take you to a more fun place, okay?"

"Where is it?"

“A big playground with lots of cute cartoon characters. There are all your favorite anime characters.”

"Are there Big Bear, Little Bear, and Baldy Qiang?"

"Of course!"

What he was talking about was naturally the "Ready Player One Theme Park" located in Shanghai. He himself hadn't been there for a long time.

After the post-production of "Changjin Lake" is finished, I can take my wife and son there for a walk.

Liu Yifei knew what he was talking about, so she asked curiously, "Isn't Boonie Bears the IP copyright of Fantawild? How can it be linked to Ready Player One?"

Fade Chen raised his eyebrows and said, "Because I bought it."

Liu Yifei: "???"

"During the epidemic, their business was greatly affected, and there were more than 600 mouths waiting for food. I happened to have money and they were also interested in selling, so I simply took over part of the shares."

"Oh, I see." Liu Yifei nodded, then turned around and rubbed her son's head. "When your father is free, we'll take you out to play."

"Great!"

……

After a night, it was the second day of the New Year.

Under the attention of the public, the box office on the first day of the Spring Festival has just been released.

However, this "furnace" was like a blockbuster bomb, causing a huge stir in the entire film and television industry!

"The Crowd" grossed 5396.7 million RMB on its first day."

"New Gods: Nezha Reborn" grossed 6135.6 million RMB on its first day."

"Boonie Bears: Wild Continent" grossed 8632.7 million RMB on its first day."

"The Order of the Samurai" grossed 9116.3 million RMB on its first day."

"Hello, Li Huanying" grossed 3.88 million RMB on its first day.

"Detective Chinatown 3" grossed 11.68 billion RMB on its first day!"
