The movie hasn't finished playing yet, has it?

Xu Fan shook his head and said, "Does this count as an opportunity for us?"

The fat man nodded and said, "So many people have already left halfway through the movie. I'm curious about what's going on with this movie."

At 1:43 AM, the premiere of "Lost," the latest masterpiece from Huazhou Film Industry and a 103-minute art film, came to an end.

Most cinemas start and end their screenings on time.

However, at this time, the number of people leaving cinemas across the country was generally less than half.

Eighty percent of the people who came out were cursing and swearing, clearly expressing their skepticism about the film.

Of course, nothing is absolute, and some people thought the movie was quite good, at least the actors' performances were all on point, and everyone watched it with great interest.

But there are very few people like that.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to describe them as extremely rare.

There has been much discussion and countless rumors circulating online.

After the premiere ended, more netizens focused on online discussions.

Immediately, the official Weibo account of "Lost" was flooded with insults, and the Weibo accounts of the main actors were also filled with various rumors. Some fans were angry and some were disappointed.

The topic instantly became a trending topic on Weibo.

"Huazhou Films' 'Lost' premiered and was a disaster. The plot is nonsensical and the whole film is nauseating."

The number of comments under the topic skyrocketed after the premiere.

"I've already seen the movie. It's either arsenic or snake venom. Anyway, I died from the poison and there was no cure."

"I admire the expert who watched the whole film. I watched 30 minutes of it and it was so bad that I had to leave."

I bought a ticket for 10 AM tomorrow, and suddenly I'm overwhelmed with emotions and don't know what to do. Fellow moviegoers, please give me some advice: should I watch it or not?

"Look, of course you'll see! You'll be amazed. The plot is so captivating it'll make you want to vomit blood."

"What the person upstairs said makes a lot of sense, but I don't want to watch it anymore, what should I do? Get a refund?"

"Let's be realistic. The actors all have excellent acting skills, and their portrayals of the characters are very vivid. I really like them."

"Is the person upstairs a fan of Huazhou Pictures? The acting is fine, but the plot is just too ridiculous."

Amidst the internet explosion, Xu Fan and Zhao Feiyang sat speechless in front of their computers.

They saw numerous criticisms and complaints from netizens about the film.

Looking at the hundred poison spots, Xu Fan and his companion were dumbfounded and couldn't believe their eyes.

Some even doubted whether it was true or false.

However, when the two looked further, what they saw was truly shocking and unbelievable.

The first problem is that a dog bit a child, the child cried uncontrollably, but the dog ran away. Dog lovers ignored the child and searched everywhere for the dog. Although the child's condition was not serious, it was still incredibly cruel. I admire the screenwriter's wild imagination. I understand that they wanted to express the equality of life, but are they willing to abandon their child for a dog?

The second problem is that Lu Kangning's acting as a father is superb, but I just want to ask, how could you entrust your child to a stranger just to find your dog? A complete stranger! Weren't you afraid he might be a child trafficker? How could you be so careless?

Thirdly, Su Mo, that young girl, is a good actress, but her boyfriend is a dog abuser. He actually said he wanted to eat meat. Although you can't lose your child for a dog, you can't abuse or kill a dog either.

===Chapter 218 The Gap Is Immediately Obvious===

Xu Fan and Zhao Feiyang looked at each other, embarrassed, as netizens listed a hundred flaws.

Before this, he never dreamed that this movie would be unbearable for so many people to watch.

Of course, Xu Fan and Zhao Feiyang also realized that most of the netizens' comments were too one-sided.

Overall, the biggest problem with Huazhou Pictures' "Lost" is the script.

The control over the content was entirely focused on the story that happened after a dog went missing.

The key lies in the interwoven storylines.

If it were simply to express a dog's loyalty to its owner, the rating might be much higher, since the actors with solid acting skills certainly wouldn't be too bad.

Unfortunately, this story is so frustrating that rumors and low ratings are rampant online.

However, the number of viewers and pre-sales for "Lost" remained unchanged on the second day.

Many uninformed onlookers, having already bought tickets, naturally wanted to experience it for themselves.

Moreover, not everyone pays attention to the internet and Weibo, nor does everyone pay attention to them all the time.

Moreover, by the time the premiere of the movie "Lost" ended, it was already close to 2 a.m., and most people had long since gone to sleep.

So, the next day, the movie "Lost" was still sold out, with countless people vying to see it, but the result left most people extremely disappointed.

Since the premiere was late at night, most people couldn't stand it and chose to leave.

But most people who watch movies during the day will still watch them even if the movie is terrible.

On the same day, the film "Lost and Found" produced by Fanxing Pictures was officially released.

Since pre-sales began yesterday, not only are there extremely few movie screenings, but ticket sales are also far from optimistic.

On Douban, the predicted score for "Lost" was 98, but the official score after its release plummeted to 62 overnight.

Moreover, as the number of viewers increased, the score continued to decrease.

Its reputation plummeted, and its ratings dropped drastically.

However, this did not affect the screening schedule of the movie "Lost" in major cinemas, since tickets for the first day of the National Day holiday were almost completely sold out.

The film "Lost and Love," like other films released during the National Day holiday, seems to blend into the crowd and doesn't stand out in any way.

The most important reason is that the film had too few screenings, and most cinemas did not screen the film "Lost and Found" at all.

Clearly, this is a boycott method undertaken by Huazhou Films in conjunction with most cinema chains.

Occasionally, some cinemas will have screenings, but due to the recent events involving Fanxing Pictures, the number of screenings has been reduced, with almost only one screening per day.

Only Starry Night Pictures' own cinema chain allocated 10% of the screenings to "Lost and Love".

After all, although the cinema chain belongs to Fanxing Pictures Group, it is a separate company. They also need to make money. The reason they can give 10% is because, normally, based on the current situation of the movie "Lost and Found", it would only be around 7%.

Ten percent is actually a relatively high percentage of screenings.

A cinema in Lucheng, China.

As the ratings for "Lost" plummeted, fewer and fewer tickets were sold in advance, but the shows on the day were still sold out, with an occupancy rate as high as 83%.

The cinema only scheduled one showing of the movie "Lost and Found," and it was an early morning screening at 11 a.m., because they reserved all the more popular afternoon and evening slots for "Lost."

At this moment, after a performance of "Lost" began, the large number of people in the hall instantly dwindled to sparse.

There were only a few scattered people.

A couple sat there holding a child. The woman complained, "I told you to buy 'Lost' but you wouldn't. Look at all the people who watch 'Lost,' why are you watching 'Lost and Found'? Not many people watch it, it must be bad."

The husband, holding the child, said, "It's starring Andy Lau, it's not bad to watch. I couldn't buy a copy of 'Lost' either!"

The couple chatted casually, while a few scattered people waited nearby.

Just then, three more people walked in from outside the cinema, ran straight to the ticket counter, and asked loudly, "Is there a movie called 'Lost and Found' this morning?"

The ticket seller paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes, it's about to begin."

The three men said excitedly, "Quickly, give us three more; we forgot to buy them yesterday."

The three people who had received their tickets sat next to the couple and discussed the movie "Lost and Found".

Clearly, one of them had already seen the preview screening. He said to his two friends beside him, "Fan Ge's songs are really great. But did you guys bring a pack of tissues?"

One of them laughed and said, "What nonsense! I'm an old man, how could I possibly cry?"

The person who had seen the movie said, "You guys don't believe me, but Kris Wu and Andy Lau's acting was phenomenal, plus Kris Wu's three new songs. I'm telling you, I really couldn't hold back that day."

The couple couldn't help but become curious as they listened to the three people's discussion. Could this movie really be that moving?

Just then, the voice of someone entering the hall rang out.

As the group got up to go into the theater to watch the movie, a few people walked by cursing and swearing, which startled them.

Because they could hear clearly that it sounded like they were saying something about the movie "Lost" being trash.

However, he didn't pay much attention to it.

Sitting in the theater watching the advertisements on the movie screen, everyone waited attentively for the movie to start.

The huge theater with over a hundred seats only has about twenty seats.

With an occupancy rate of around 25%, it was a fairly average movie, especially considering it was a morning showing.

With Starry Night Pictures still receiving a lot of negative reviews and various rumors, it's actually quite good that the movie "Lost and Love" had an attendance rate of 25%.

Just then, the group of people who had been cursing and swearing as they left walked in.

I sat down next to the couple.

The wife nudged her husband, who coughed awkwardly and asked the person next to him, "Excuse me, I saw you were going to see 'Lost,' right? Why did you stop watching?"

The man turned around and saw a couple. He said, "I really can't stand it anymore. The plot is so melodramatic and makes me want to vomit. I'll just have to watch Andy Lau's 'Lost and Found' to calm my nerves. I've also heard that Xu Fan's songs are good."

The husband said "Oh" and nodded his thanks.

He and his wife exchanged a smile, but their eyes were filled with doubt.

The movie begins, and then it ends.

As they left the living room, the husband, holding the child, gently patted his wife's shoulder and said, "Don't cry, crying won't help. Let's go find the child."

The wife kept wiping away her tears, while the man next to her, who had already seen the movie, prepared to leave.

The husband said to the man, "Thank you for the paper."

The man shook his head, left with his brother, and patted his brother's forehead and shoulder, saying, "Cry slowly, I still have some tissues here."

His wife walked out of the theater, already in tears.

There was a chair not far away. She walked over and sat down, tears streaming down her face.

The husband also had tears in his eyes, but he held the child and forced himself to hold them back.
