Chapter 432
The lineup of "Adoring" is quite strong; it has everything from acting powerhouses to young fresh meat and young actresses.
"A Little Red Flower" is somewhat similar; Xia Donghai's acting is definitely no problem, it's just Jackson Yee and Liu Haocun... it's hard to describe.
To describe it in one sentence, it's "acting visible only to fans."
If placed among a bunch of bad movies, perhaps the audience could find some advantages through comparison.
However, this time, what was placed with them for horizontal comparison was "Death Note."
Especially with the scenes of Chow Yun-fat and Xu Feng, two emperor-level actors, having an acting showdown.
It was compared by countless film critics with the scenes of Jackson Yee and Liu Haocun.
The result doesn't need to be described in detail; give the four brothers some face.
What's more, those film critics have already said it clearly enough.
For example, a professional film critic blogger named "Duck 1900" can be said to be the most ruthless in his criticism.
"Ducks! I really want to know who is hyping Jackson Yee and Liu Haocun's acting; this confession scene in the rain is really so awkward it makes me want to dig a hole."
"What is a male-female acting showdown? I recommend this group of people buy a plane ticket to Taiwan to see Xu Feng and Taylor..."
【Gathering so many big names just to produce a piece of crap like "Adoring," with so many plot lines and not a single one written well.】
【"A Little Red Flower" actually broke 200 million in first-day box office; I really laughed until I peed. Is our film market this easy to make money in?】
【Seriously, they are all bad movies; you can only choose one that isn't completely thorough when you enter the cinema.】
【Brothers who want to watch a good movie, I recommend you buy a plane ticket and fly to Taiwan; you haven't forgotten "Death Note," right?】
【Holy crap, that cost is a bit high, right? Spending nearly a month's salary to watch a movie?】
【I sincerely hope Xu Feng will quickly film a movie that can be released in the mainland market and teach this group of idiots what a good movie is.】
【Once Xu Feng kills his way into the film market, all this garbage will die!】
Topics like the above continued to spread in the domestic entertainment film market.
Good movies are already rare, plus this era of capital manipulation and collective rot.
It's good enough to find a movie that doesn't treat the audience like idiots.
And Xu Feng handed in a perfect answer sheet.
It's just a pity that the object of submission wasn't the mainland.
For a time, countless viewers who had suffered from bad movies for a long time petitioned online for Xu Feng's return.
Damn it, they made it sound like he couldn't return to the country like Boss Jia.
But to be honest, Xu Feng was quite happy when he saw these comments.
At least it shows that his strength is recognized by the public.
"Brother Xu Feng, many people online are scolding me..."
Zhao Jinmai handed over her phone at this time.
Xu Feng glanced at it.
"The first 10-billion box office actress Zhao Jinmai, but the most 'actress' actress."
The point the whole article wanted to express was one—
Virtue does not match the position.
Meaning Zhao Jinmai doesn't deserve the title of "Dragon Country's first 10-billion actress" at all.
The reason she was able to achieve such an accomplishment is entirely because she latched onto Xu Feng.
Xu Feng:...
Doesn't it feel like they aren't wrong?
But seeing the little girl's resentful expression, Xu Feng would have to be crazy to say such stupid words.
At this time, just scolding along with them is fine.
Just like when a girl comes to you to complain about her ex-boyfriend, you must never reason with her or discuss right and wrong.
All you have to do is scold her boyfriend with her; if you're unlucky, you can take over, and if you're lucky, you can directly become the "yellow-haired" guy.
You won't lose either way.
"Woooooo~"
Although those with poor mentalities shouldn't be in the entertainment industry, it's the same principle as those who are afraid of being scolded by readers shouldn't write books.
But Zhao Jinmai is only a 15-year-old girl who just started high school this year.
Being scolded so miserably, she naturally feels aggrieved in her heart.
Seeing this, Xu Feng hurriedly offered his shoulder.
"What are you looking at!?"
Noticing Chalamet's strange look in the front passenger seat, Xu Feng's scolding scared him into turning his head back hurriedly.
He almost broke his neck.
On the third day of promotion, Xu Feng received contact from Reagan.
Asking if Xu Feng could increase the promotional efforts again.
Xu Feng was numb.
At most, I treat people like livestock, but these capitalists treat them like robots, right?
Reagan also gave a reason, hoping the movie could recoup its costs within three days.
Because...
Piracy is out.
That's right, it's only been two days since the release, and the damn piracy is out.
Of course, it's not that high-definition, uncensored version.
It's the shaky-cam version filmed with a phone.
After all, this kind of thing depends entirely on self-discipline; you can't ask the audience to hand over their phones before entering the cinema, right?
Recouping the box office in three days is a bit difficult.
After all, compared to the first part, the second half has quite a few big scenes.
Car chase scenes, helicopters, and other things were all dispatched.
So Xu Feng and the others spent... three and a half days.
Alright, that's a bit of a humblebrag.
But this time "Death Note" really created a miracle.
After all, after "Bleach" ended, not only Dragon Country audiences, but the whole world was looking forward to Xu Feng's next work.
Naturally, they would have high expectations for "Death Note," which was released after "Bleach."
And there were many fans who held the idea of "watching a few more times, investing more money in Xu Feng, so he can film better-looking dramas," and watched it several times in a row.
This is what created the box office miracle of recouping costs in less than four days.
"Feng, I can't do it anymore, let me rest for a while."
In the hotel at night, Taylor Swift called out in misery.
Don't misunderstand, it's just because running roadshows is too tiring.
As soon as she returned to the room, Taylor Swift lay on the sofa and complained.
In just four days, she lost two pounds!
Seeing her beautiful legs, which she felt had become thinner, Taylor Swift wanted to remind Xu Feng that she had insured these legs for 200 million $.
They are very precious!
Uh... but thinking about the box office of this movie, which Xu Feng is nine-to-one likely to break 800 million $,
she suddenly felt her legs weren't that precious anymore.
"How about I help you?"
Xu Feng rubbed his little hands and said.
"Eh?"
