Chapter 1485 1587. Everything goes smoothly

Li Lu rushed back home, made herself a cup of coffee without sugar or milk, and took a sip. The bitter taste in her mouth made her feel refreshed instantly.

Roll up your sleeves and start working!

As a professional film critic, you have to give the audience who are still waiting a fair evaluation of the movie as soon as possible. This time, "Captain China" did not even prepare for the premiere, so Li Lu could not finish the manuscript in advance. She could only stay up late to finish the manuscript and send it out as soon as possible.

After all, there are many colleagues, and everyone has to eat this meal of racing against time.

With her hands on the keyboard, Li Lu kept thinking about the comments of the audience around her at the end of the film, and she also took a lot of pictures of the audience survey at the end of the cinema. They were all those carefully filled forms, which were full of the audience's feelings about the movie.

Of course, these are just references. As a film critic, his article is still mainly based on her point of view.

Li Lu sat in front of the computer screen and thought for five minutes, and finally thought of the theme, which is reality and ordinariness.

Whether it is the daily life of the crew or the life of the passengers at the airport, everything is so natural and real under the fast-cut lens, as if it happens every day.

The opening of this film gives Li Lu a sense of reality and life.

Even as the "hero" Captain Liu, under the premise of putting aside this identity, he behaved very ordinary at the beginning of the film, and there was nothing special about him.

This is a very abnormal start in Li Lu's view.

"Generally, heroes in disaster films often show their extraordinary qualities at all times, such as Captain Gu Xin in "The Sea of ​​Fire", who is better at taking off quickly, because his special qualities always leave a deep impression on people and easily make the audience look forward to it."

"But in Captain Liu, we don't see anything different from ordinary people. At most, he is more stable than ordinary people."

"But this does not mean that this person is ordinary. In fact, there are several places at the beginning of the movie that show that this seemingly ordinary captain is not ordinary. Those who are interested can observe carefully."

Not spoiling is the professional ethics of film critics, because "spoilers" are undoubtedly the biggest harm to a film or television work. Although "Captain China" is adapted from a true story and many people know the ending, the movie itself is real but not realistic, and a lot of creations are added in the middle, so Li Lu did not write too many details.

"It is precisely these seemingly ordinary people who make the atmosphere of this movie very lifelike from the beginning. It really feels like it happened around us, giving people an extremely real feeling."

Li Lu's mind kept popping up the wonderful parts of the movie, and her ideas flowed like a spring. Her fingers could not stop at all, and she quickly typed thousands of words.

The first half of the article was all about the sense of reality, while in the second half of the article, Li Lu focused on the ordinary heroes.

Just when she was writing seriously, the first batch of viewers returned home and began to express their impressions on major websites, sharing each other's happiness and excitement.

"The moment of the disaster was so sudden that I was nervous for a long time. I can't imagine how uneasy the passengers were when the plane crash happened. I sincerely admire the crew members, especially our Captain Liu. His calmness and composure in the face of difficulties really make people feel at ease."

"Cheng Kun gave me an unexpected surprise. I really didn't expect that he could play such a calm and sophisticated role."

"Nie Wei's filming is really good. When I watched the movie, I felt like I was sitting in that plane. My heart was always in my throat until I broke through the clouds. I breathed a sigh of relief and my forehead was covered with cold sweat."

"Five-star praise, I have watched this movie. , my deepest feeling is that professionalism must be strong. "

"Respect life, cherish life. This film tells me that in the face of life and death, many things that seem big are actually small things. The calm and professional captain in the face of disaster is really great, but I like the performances of the extras in the airport more. Although they are just small stories, they are problems that happen in our lives all the time, and many of them are even reflected in me. After watching it, I think a lot more open-minded."

Reviews continued to appear on the film review website. In just one hour, the number exceeded 100,000 and topped the website's hot review list.

The praise rate accounted for 96%, and it became the first in the praise list of all currently released movies without suspense.

The first place in the double list made fans who like Nie Wei very happy, shouting the slogan "Nie Wei's products must be fine products" everywhere, but the public was not annoyed. After all, what was wrong with these people?

This is different from the group of fans of traffic artists who randomly brush slogans.

Nie Wei's super topic has more than one million people online at the same time, with thousands of new posts appearing every minute, all discussing new movies.

Those who have seen the movie are showing off how good it is, while those who haven't seen it are joining in the fun, regretting why they didn't book the midnight show, and imagining how good the movie that is praised by so many people is.

For those who haven't seen the movie yet, those good reviews are really annoying.

However, this is just the warm-up stage. When the reviews of professional film critics such as Li Lu are online, the real carnival will officially begin.

You have to know that the comments of passers-by often have strong personal purposes, just like the small number of bad reviews on the Internet, which makes people speechless.

They will give a movie one star just because an actor they don't like appears in the movie. The key is that the actor is just a guest star and does not participate in the main plot.

Although there are not many such extreme reviews, they still exist.

Of course, there are also those who give five-star reviews because they like a certain actor. These reviews are not very helpful to those who have not seen the movie.

But the film critics' reviews are different. Although they also have personal opinions, they are generally more professional and fairer. They will not judge the entire film biasedly because of their personal likes and dislikes.

And the most important point is that the film critics will not spoil the plot.

Compared with the unrestrained desire of ordinary audiences to talk, film critics know how to restrain themselves. Not only will they not suddenly spoil the plot, but they can also let you know the quality of the entire film without spoiling the plot.

So when the film critics' reviews are online, even if it is already three o'clock in the morning, the number of people online has not decreased, but has risen by hundreds of thousands.

Coupled with the reports from major media, many fans simply stayed up all night, refreshing Weibo and film review sites until they fell asleep in a daze.

2020 is a leap year, and February in a leap year has 29 days.

March 1st is the first day of school for many schools, and the 29th is undoubtedly the last day for many students to relax.

Early in the morning, before the major cinemas opened, many young and beautiful guests, men and women, who looked young and full of youth, walked by and listened to their chattering, and felt several years younger.

On this day, students became the main force of the box office of "Captain China".

Thanks to the development of the Internet, 90% of the cinemas in the country are connected to the Internet, and the box office is also updated in real time. People saw that the box office of "Captain China" quickly broke through 100 million, and then quickly broke through 200 million. By the time everyone finished lunch, the box office of "Captain China" was about to break through 300 million.

This growth rate shocked many people in the industry.

Many people had previously underestimated Nie Wei, thinking that disaster themes would not be a big hit, and that Nie Wei would be beaten back to his original form without the Hollywood coat, but what was the result?

300 million box office in half a day, just this data slapped these people in the face.

What made this group of people even more uncomfortable was that this was just the beginning. Everyone knew that the peak period of box office growth was at night. At this rate, the box office on the first day might not be able to reach 600 million.

As the saying goes, what you fear will come true. As office workers get off work at night, another wave of new forces appears.

The box office grew rapidly, and officially exceeded 600 million at the 9 o'clock show. Each theater that released the film will have at least two more shows next, and the box office will eventually usher in a wave of substantial growth.

Boss Wang was jealous when he saw the data, but he was helpless.

This is Nie Wei, who never disappoints people. Of course, he still told his family with some emotion that this is the times that make heroes.

In Boss Wang's opinion, although Nie Wei's movie is good, it won't make the audience crazy to this extent. The attendance rate of each theater is more than 60%, and some theaters in busy areas are even full. This is a miracle when it is considered popular when the seats are only two or three floors.

Boss Wang thinks that this is all caused by the flu.

Everyone has been staying at home for a long time and there are no entertainment options, so when Nie Wei's movie was released, everyone rushed out to watch the movie.

Boss Wang felt very sad when he thought about it.

After all, their Huayi's "Crazy Alien" was a failure because of the flu, especially Nie Wei's new movie "Captain China" had a box office data far exceeding their company's "Crazy Alien" in one day, which made Boss Wang feel so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe.

Just because one was released early and the other was released late, the gap was so different that it would be difficult for anyone to get over this hurdle.

"The new series of "Mojin: The Lost Legend" must be prepared immediately, and Director Feng must also urge us." Putting down his sad thoughts, Boss Wang knew that the most urgent task was to release a new film.

Although Huayi announced its cooperation with Fanxing to ease the decline, it was all castles in the air without the success of new works.

Only by launching good works can we truly restore the market's confidence in the company and really get out of the predicament.

In the end, the single-day box office of "Captain China" was released at midnight on March 1st. Ignoring the numbers after the million level, it was a full 666 million.

Soon, all the leading actors, as long as they had Weibo, forwarded the eight characters "Six Six Great Smoothness, a big start".

This result can indeed be called a good start.

Nie Wei also broke his own box office record again, raising the first-day box office record of officially released movies to 666 million.

When countless directors faced this number, they really looked up to it.

With the development of Chinese films to this day, it is difficult to break 100 million yuan in the first day box office, but there are still a few movies that can do it every year. However, the only movie that can break 600 million yuan in the first day is "The Captain of China". What's more, it is more than 600 million yuan, and there are more than 66 million yuan to come.

In the words of a director, this record is just like the 200 million yuan box office of "Hero" at the beginning of the century. Everyone was still celebrating the box office of the movie breaking 10 million yuan with champagne, but the record was raised to 200 million yuan in an instant.

It is really beyond reach.

The key is that Nie Wei once again breaks his own record.

Now if someone were to count the box office records of Chinese movies, I am afraid that Nie Wei's name would be written all over them. Since his debut as a director, he has continued to break various records, and in the end he simply challenged himself.

This is why everyone in the film and television industry was so excited after last year's "The Devil Comes to the World" beat Nie Weixin's movie at the annual box office.

Because Nie Wei has had a monopoly on the box office charts for too long, everyone hopes that someone will emerge who can break this monopoly.

Therefore, after successfully defeating Nie Wei in "The Devil Boy Comes into the World" and waving to win the annual box office championship, countless people in the industry fell into a carnival as if it was the Chinese New Year.

Because they see hope.

It's a pity that it's only been a year, and Nie Wei has plunged them into despair again.

As expected, Nie Wei is still the same Nie Wei. The new year has just passed, and many people in the industry have realized what cruelty means. According to this first-day box office revenue, the total box office of "Captain China" is probably an astronomical figure.

Could it be that at the beginning of this year, the annual box office champion lost its suspense?

Just thinking about this makes many companies and directors feel very frustrated. After all, who would be happy if they could only compete for second place at most.

Of course, more people are numb. After all, they have been losing for more than ten years and are used to it.

One day later, the score for this movie on the film review website was also released. The score of 8.5 satisfied many fans who like this movie.

Everyone also knows that as more people watch it, it will be difficult to maintain this score, but according to this first score, it should not drop to 8 points, which is enough.

Because those with a score of eight or above are all outstanding works worthy of special mention, enough to be ranked among the top 500 Chinese movies with high scores.

The movie has received good reviews at the box office, and the starring roles have also benefited a lot.

Among them, apart from the starring Cheng Kun, the most praised one is Yuan Quan.

In the words of many people, Yuan Quan is a performing artist who gives a soul to a character.
