Chapter 18 Some people actually think this bad movie has merit
People have always had a high interest in using small things to make big things happen.
Therefore, gambling, the stock market, and lottery will continue to flourish.
Once someone wins the lottery or makes money in the stock market, it will be remembered for a long time.
Xu Nan spent 200,000 yuan to make a movie, and now it has the same effect. A lot of people reposted his Weibo, and netizens talked about it.
Then the movie's box office went up again.
After discovering this result, Xu Nan slapped his thigh. If he had known it would have this effect, he would have announced the movie's box office earlier.
But it’s not too late to send it out now.
Not only were netizens talking there, but a lot of people in the industry were also talking, drooling with envy.
They worked hard to prepare a project, which took about a year from preparation to filming to release.
Spending so much effort doesn't necessarily guarantee that you will make money, and even if you do, you won't make much.
You, Xu Nan, can make more than a hundred times the profit from just making a bad movie, which is more profitable than gambling. This is too unfair.
People are like this, they hate others and are afraid of others being rich.
It would be fine if Xu Nan didn't make money. If he made money, they would immediately feel unhappy.
In a certain chat group, a group of people in the industry were discussing.
"Do you know the recent movie about Zhang Yange?"
"You know, "Along the River on a Qingming Festival" is a scam movie. At first, many people thought it was made by Zhang Yange and gave Zhang Yange bad reviews."
"This movie has a box office of more than 60 million yuan, and the cost is only 200,000 yuan. This piece of shit Xu Nan has made a lot of money this time."
"Fuck, this world is so unfair. I made movies seriously, but no one watched the movies I made. This Xu Nan just spent 200,000 yuan to make a bad movie, but it has such a high box office."
"Who says it isn't? Today's audiences are really incomprehensible. They watch it even though they know it's a bad movie."
"This may be the beginning of the decadence of the film industry. Good films cannot make money, but bad films can make money, and then everyone flocks to make bad films."
"In the final analysis, it's the audience who can't do it. Rubbish audiences lead to rubbish movies. I've given up on it. If you make a good movie, no one will watch it, because these audiences can't appreciate good movies."
"Oh, how could the film industry become like this?"
Liu Dongdong, who has been quietly following Xu Nan, naturally saw this Weibo.
Then he checked the relevant data and found that what Xu Nan said was true.
Suddenly, his heart felt like lemon, extremely sour.
Is there any mistake? This guy named Xu Nan can earn tens of millions just from this piece of garbage.
He has made two profitable movies since his debut, but his income was less than half that of Xu Nan.
God is unfair.
In anger, Liu Dongdong decisively posted another Weibo post.
"What's going on with you viewers? All of you are responsible for allowing a bad movie to have such a high box office."
"Please open your eyes and take a good look. "Along the River on a Sunny Day" is a bad movie, a very, very bad movie. You know it is a bad movie, but why are you still contributing to its box office? Stockholm ?”
After Liu Dongdong posted it on Weibo, it aroused strong resonance.
"It's really hard to understand. Everyone on the Internet is talking about this movie. I've watched it three times and I'm 100% sure that it's a bad movie. There's nothing special about it except the heroine's legs."
"You actually watched the movie upstairs three times. No wonder the box office is still rising. I was defeated in ten minutes after I went to the cinema."
"You have the nerve to tell me about the second floor, but you shouldn't buy a ticket to see it. Like me, I didn't go to see it after I knew it was a bad movie. I didn't want to waste the money."
"Yes, please don't watch a bad movie. It's best not to talk about it. Any discussion will only increase the popularity of this bad movie."
"Sometimes, some phenomena are really difficult for people to understand. It is clearly stated on the Internet that this is a bad movie. Why are there so many people watching it? They don't go online."
"Yeah, why does a bad movie have such a high box office? This is too magical."
Of course there are some who have different opinions.
"I have watched both movies. In fact, both are good. "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" is quite exciting, but "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" is not bad either. It is very unique."
"Yes, I didn't even watch "Along the River During the Qingming Festival". It was all the same old routines, but I watched "Along the River During the Qingming Festival". It was so fun. My stomach hurt from laughing in the cinema."
"Actually, I just watched it because it was a bad movie. So many people said this movie was bad. I wanted to know how bad this movie really is."
"Along the River on a Sunny Day still has its merits. You can't chase it down as a bad movie. You have to know how to appreciate it."
Liu Dongdong prefers to surf the Internet. After posting on Weibo, he will pick up his mobile phone from time to time to read the comments of netizens.
He smiled happily when he saw those who criticized the movie with him, but frowned when he saw those who had different opinions.
When he saw a netizen commenting on the merits of the movie "Along the River on a Sunny Day", he couldn't help it anymore and replied.
"You're not mistaken. You can see the good points in a bad movie. Why don't you look for gold in the cesspool?"
The netizen who commented seemed to be online and responded very quickly.
"If you say it's a bad movie, it's a bad movie. This movie hasn't reached the point of being a bad movie yet. It still has merits. When I was in the cinema, many people laughed out loud after watching this movie."
Liu Dongdong sneered and typed quickly.
"Sure enough, it's all the fault of you viewers that the box office of a bad movie is so high. You go to see it even though you know it's a bad movie. How boring are you?"
"I said it's not a bad movie. It's a very good movie. I think it's better than most of the movies I've seen."
"Although the props and scenes in this movie are all bad and the plot is very cliche, the director's shooting gives the movie a sense of black humor. You can watch it again carefully and eliminate those prejudices, and you will find this movie The advantages."
"The fact that the movie has such a high box office proves that the movie is not as bad as everyone thinks."
After seeing this comment, Liu Dongdong was in no mood to argue with this netizen.
He decisively blocked this netizen and then posted a new Weibo post.
"I just found out that some netizens think this movie is not bad, and even cited the box office to make an argument."
"No wonder bad movies have such high box office. It's all because the audience is rubbish and doesn't know how to appreciate good movies."
"But those who think this movie is wonderful should not forget that "Along the River on a Sunny Day" is a plagiarized movie. Zhang Yange has already sued and the case will be heard in court soon."
"When the court makes its decision, I'll see what you say."
