The husband said, "Shall we go find the children?"

The wife said, "I hate who I am now."

The child broke free from his father's arms, stood on the ground, and took the couple's hands, saying, "Mommy, Daddy, don't cry anymore, okay?"

The husband, feeling sorry for the child, nodded and asked, "Shall we go find your sister?"

Outside the movie theater, murmurs of discussion arose.

The movie "Lost" was met with a barrage of criticism, while the movie "Lost and Love" received rave reviews.

Art films of the same genre, with the same cast of award-winning actors, have completely different endings.

In fact, in every aspect, whether it's the cast or the investment, "Lost" is stronger.

The result was quite surprising.

High investment, strong lineup, but a barrage of criticism.

A group of people who came together—actors, singers, and scriptwriters—delivered phenomenal acting performances and received countless positive reviews.

Most people who watch a movie in the cinema will go to Douban to rate it and share their viewing experience.

The rating for "Lost" continues to drop, and the score for "Lost and Love" has also dropped, but it is still 98 points. The number of viewers for "Lost and Love" has exceeded 5,000.

At this very moment, similar things are happening in cinemas across the country.

For example, in one movie theater, a young man who had just finished watching "Lost and Found" took several deep breaths after leaving the theater, then called his girlfriend. His first words were, "Honey, come take me to see a movie, it's really good."

On the other hand, I originally wanted to see "Lost", but found that there were no tickets left, so I had to go see "Lost and Love".

After watching it, I was completely absorbed in it, and the first thing I said when I got to the ticket counter was, "Do you have any other screenings of 'Lost and Found'? I want to watch it again."

The ticket seller said gently, "I'm sorry, there's only one showing of the movie 'Lost and Found'. You can watch 'Lost' instead, which is showing at 2 PM. Someone has already cancelled their ticket."

The man said angrily, "I'm not watching anymore. I only want to see 'Lost and Found.' Such a good movie only has one showing. I really don't know how you schedule screenings."

The man angrily left the cinema, took out his phone,

I quickly bought tickets for the next day's movie and didn't forget to call my friend: "Hey, I've seen it, 'Lost and Found' is really good, hurry up and buy tickets!"

Countless cinemas across the country may seem very different, but the events that actually happened are remarkably similar.

Immediately, the internet was abuzz with praise, and Xu Fan's "Lost and Found" once again topped the Weibo trending list, evoking a flood of emotions and comments.

All sorts of messages are flying around online.

"Zihan's acting was phenomenal, so heartbreaking. She cried from beginning to end. The child was found, but the mother couldn't hold on any longer."

"My mother said, 'My child, you are my life.' Those words brought me to tears, and my heart ached so much that I didn't know what to do. Andy Lau, Kris Wu, and Zihan all gave amazing performances. I hope that all parents in the world can hold their children's hands tightly and never let go."

"I dare not watch it a second time, because I'm afraid I'll cry again."

"I hate human traffickers more than anything in my life. I would die if I didn't have a child."

"No matter the reason, losing your child will drive parents crazy, will break them, and they really won't know how to go on living. Fifteen years! How many fifteen-year periods are there in a lifetime? He has been searching for his child for fifteen years. Where is his child?"

"Ten months of pregnancy, how easy is that? If you have another one, what does the first one matter? Only the mother knows how painful it is to lose a child, only the father knows how bitter it is."

"I'm in tears. Andy Lau's acting is just too good. It's heartbreaking. Only parents can understand this feeling. I've been searching for my child for five or six years, but..."

Xu Fan and Zhao Feiyang sat in their studio, looking at the changing comments online, and smiled at each other.

It's not just because of the positive reviews of the movie, but also because more people are starting to pay attention to the section below "Lost and Found" for reporting missing children—the "Baby Come Home" section.

Many more people are searching for clues for parents who have lost their children.

This is what makes Xu Fan and Zhao Feiyang happiest.

Just then, Huazhou Pictures suddenly released a message that the movie "Lost" had grossed over 50 million yuan in just twelve hours, with pre-sale tickets reaching 80 million yuan, and was predicted to break 100 million yuan in 24 hours.

===Chapter 219 "Lost and Found" - A Complete Victory (Please support QQ Reading's official subscription, thank you!)===

Huazhou Pictures' official Weibo account posted a message.

Three minutes later, it had to be deleted because of a barrage of criticism from netizens, and even various refund requests appeared one after another.

Huazhou Film Studio was filled with lamentations from top to bottom. The failure of the film "Lost" was unbelievable to everyone, and there was a lot of doubt from both the company leaders and the director, Liu Minghao.

When they received the feedback last night, and when the leader made a phone call to director Liu Minghao, they stopped their dinner party.

I rushed from the hotel to the company and then held a meeting all night to discuss how to handle the situation, but we couldn't come up with a better solution.

As movie tickets continued to sell, but ratings and discussions kept falling to record lows, they realized that the movie was much worse than they had expected.

The award-winning actor Lu Kangning was also furious.

Because the entire film "Lost" produced by Huazhou Film Industry was shot in film studios and green screens, Lu Kangning did not participate in post-production editing at all. He only needed to perform his parts well.

So he didn't watch the edited theatrical version to see what it was like.

At this moment, watching the movie Avalanche, with its box office and ratings continuously declining, Lu Kangning felt resentful.

When I first encountered this film, it was based on the idea of ​​how important lost people or animals are to people.

That's why the company thought it was a good film with a good subject matter, and that's why he agreed to make it.

But now that things have come to this, there seems to be no other way.

Besides, actress Su Mo and others were also completely bewildered.

The comments online show that most people acknowledge their acting skills, but the key issue lies with the script and editing.

Immediately, people were filled with anxiety, all feeling that something was about to go wrong.

However, the box office of "Lost" broke the 50 million mark after 12 hours. According to their idea, they could directly issue a notice, since the box office revenue of art films tends to increase with word of mouth.

In this situation, as long as the plot doesn't fall apart, the box office will see a crazy surge the next day.

But

The post was met with a barrage of criticism on Weibo. When they posted the message, countless netizens unleashed their insults. The movie may be bad, but this is unacceptable.

Do they really think that having a few award-winning stars can make the audience's intelligence look like it's being trampled on?

Huazhou Pictures had no choice but to shut down its Weibo account.

Two opposing arguments are spreading rapidly online.

One is the sudden drop in ratings for Huazhou Film's movie "Lost," which was criticized for its terrible plot and numerous negative reviews.

One is that the film "Lost and Found" produced by Fanxing Pictures has received continuous praise, with its Douban score consistently above nine points. Countless viewers have been deeply moved, and the box office is also constantly growing.

On that day, many viewers expressed their opinions online.

I don't want to see "Lost," I want to see "Lost and Love," but there are no screenings in the cinema, which is really frustrating.

At the end of the first day, "Lost" raked in 80 million yuan at the box office, ranking first.

Another film, a martial arts movie directed by a well-known domestic director of the infinite genre, ranked second with 23 million, while the film "Lost and Found" produced by Fanxing Pictures only grossed 9 million.

The following day, Huazhou Film's film "Lost" surpassed 90 million yuan at the box office, steadily progressing towards the goal of 100 million yuan.

However, despite grossing 80 million on the first day, the box office only reached 3 million by noon on the second day.

The National Day holiday box office hit an all-time low on its opening day, sparking a nationwide online frenzy.

The main reason is that the movie "Lost" was a huge flop, and many people who wanted to see it didn't.

Another group of people wanted to see "Lost and Love," but there were problems with Starry Night Pictures.

This resulted in both films failing.

However, after a day of word-of-mouth and online discussions, most cinemas reduced the number of screenings for the film "Lost" while increasing the number of screenings for the film "Lost and Love".

On that day, the number of screenings for the movie "The Lost Movie" dropped to only 47, less than 50, a sudden decrease of about 30 screenings.

Conversely, the film "Lost and Found" produced by Fanxing Pictures received 43 screenings.

In other words, the movie "Lost and Found" took up almost all the screenings that the lost children couldn't get.

However, by the end of the second day, the entire internet was shocked.

Huazhou Films' film "Lost" failed to break the 100 million mark, stopping at 97 million in box office revenue.

Everyone at Huazhou Film Studio knew that the film project had essentially collapsed and was beyond saving.

However, the film "Lost and Found" produced by Starry Night Pictures bucked the trend and surged to 70 million yuan in box office revenue on the second day, closely following behind.

The trend of its popularity is even becoming more and more serious.

A peculiar scene unfolded in cinemas across the country.

That is, the number of viewers who want to see the movie "Lost and Found" is constantly increasing, but the number of screenings in cinemas is very limited.

Many cinemas even squeezed out other screenings to give priority to "Lost and Love".

Moreover, the astonishing 100% occupancy rate caused a sensation across the internet.

On the second day, screenings after 3 p.m. were almost 100% full, with the theater packed to capacity.

By the end of the third day, "Lost and Love" still had a 100% occupancy rate and a 70% share of screenings, while Huazhou Pictures' "Lost" only had 11%, and this number was still decreasing.

At 3:30 a.m. on the third day, the official Weibo account of Fanxing Pictures announced that "Lost and Love" had surpassed 100 million yuan at the box office, becoming the first film in the National Day holiday period to break the 100 million yuan mark.

Meanwhile, the daily box office of the movie "Lost" kept dropping, and almost no one was interested in it.

On the third day, Lost and Alive grossed 130 million yuan, bringing the total box office for the three days to 190 million yuan, shocking the entire internet.

When the third day of screenings ended, Xu Fan and Zhao Feiyang breathed a sigh of relief and walked out of a cinema in Zhonghai with smiles on their faces.

The battle between Starry Sky Pictures and Huazhou Pictures ended three days after the film's release.

Starry Night Pictures won decisively, without a doubt.

Despite the considerable controversy surrounding Starry Night Pictures, its positive reputation continues to draw countless viewers to the cinemas.

At the same time, Xu Fan also uploaded all three classic theme songs from the movie trilogy "Lost and Found" to Penguin Music as soon as possible.

It was quickly reposted online.

The number of logins to Penguin Music increased instantly, and the number of plays for the three songs continued to rise.

Especially the song "Father," the version that everyone has heard online in this short period of time is the live video recording of Xu Fan singing it.

This complete recording of the father's voice has caused a frenzy among netizens, who are now listening to it on repeat.
