Chapter 163: All in all, it was a disaster
Chapter 163: All in all, it was a disaster
Mu Ruo anticipated that during the promotion of "I Go Alone Today", there would be many people criticizing her for not being suitable for the role.
After all, when Director Song was interviewed at the beginning, no one, from fans to passers-by, suggested that Muruo was suitable for this role.
But when this cake really exploded and it came to the promotion stage, both fans and haters actually kept their mouths shut in unison.
Famous stars in the entertainment industry, no matter how beautiful or ugly, good or evil, often have a large number of black fans.
Muruo has a large number of fans and quickly became a first-tier celebrity in a short period of time. However, she also has a lot of haters.
Some of them felt that Muruo ascended to heaven too quickly and blocked their sister's path, some simply didn't like beautiful women, and some were water armies hired by other companies to discredit Muruo.
In short, there is nothing that everyone loves. Even the RMB, some people regard money as dirt and feel that it smells like copper.
However, the haters managed to keep their composure at this time and did not start to laugh first.
It is well known that Xia Wanwan and Muruo do not get along. As a result, Xia Wanwan was caught having an affair with a married big boss in the entertainment industry.
Song Qi, who was at odds with Muruo, lost a large number of fans because of his relationship issues and is now badly damaged.
Recalling the time when "The Holy Chant" was released, the trolls angrily criticized Muruo, a vase, for not being able to play a powerful queen, and as a result, they all came out of the cinema with swollen faces.
This time the haters have learned their lesson.
In order to avoid getting slapped in the face, everyone kept their mouths shut, set a flag on Weibo, and waited to laugh at the movie after it was released.
The TV series "Drug War" starring Song Qi was also released during the same period.
The TV drama crew had played a trick on Muruo once before, and later failed to invite Muruo to play a supporting role, and has been holding a grudge against him ever since.
This time they secretly provoked and mocked Muruo, and the official Weibo account bluntly stated that there are no good movies in the recent off-season, so it would be better to watch the TV series "Drug War".
Song Chu did a good job of keeping the secret, and the crew of "Me Today" did not leak any information. People in the industry thought that the literary and artistic biographical film directed by Song Chu would flop. After all, there have not been many literary and artistic films with good box office in recent years, and biographical films are even less popular.
People in the industry are much more well-informed, so they have every reason to mock "Drug War".
However, what was unexpected was that "Drug War", which had a huge investment scale and attracted half of the stars in the entertainment industry to audition, had high ratings in the first two episodes, but then it got worse and worse.
In recent years, audiences don't like saintly protagonists. Song Qi played the female police officer as sentimental and indecisive. She wore exquisite Korean makeup from beginning to end in the play. Not only did she hold the team back several times, she even sympathized with the drug dealers who had to sell drugs because of their poor family background.
In addition, several supporting roles in the TV series are quite big names, and the director is completely unable to control them. He adds scenes for himself and changes the script one by one, making the performance completely unrecognizable.
The audience kept complaining, but later on there was nothing to complain about, as all the audience ran away.
All in all, it was a terrible failure.
At this time, "I Go Alone Today" was also released.
Although fans don't hold out too much hope, thinking that although their sister looks fashionable and beautiful, she doesn't have much of a scholarly temperament, and the movie will definitely be criticized when it comes out. So let it be bad reputation. They will go to the cinema to support it first and try to increase the box office.
Only a few fans can afford the high-end jewelry and sports cars that Muruo endorses.
But cosmetics, makeup, snacks, daily necessities and the like are all vying for support.
When this movie is released, I have to make my sister’s movie box office data look better.
Having this beautiful face is enough, what else does it need to fit the character?
Some of the haters are so black that they are actually a bit like fans. They even bought the earliest movie tickets and rushed in to see the movie, striving to be the first to criticize Muruo after leaving the cinema.
But as soon as the movie started, everyone's attention was drawn to it.
Song Chu is not a director who likes to tell stories. He prefers to create a unique imaginary world and show all the beautiful scenes in this world one by one.
At the beginning of the story, the light reflects a faint dusty attic. In the attic, a beautiful girl with a cold temperament raises her eyes for a moment, and countless sorrows flash across her eyes. She looks like an exquisite vase from the old times, but water and soil accidentally fell into the vase, and seeds quickly sprouted in it. The vigorous vitality and vigor broke the vase, and the lifeless attic was covered with green vines.
In the theater, fans and passersby alike had forgotten Muruo's original name. They only remembered that the girl wearing the Begonia embroidered dress was called Zhong Yiwen, the third daughter of the Zhong family.
The outside world is changing with each passing day, but the ancient Zhong family continues to follow the rules of the late Qing Dynasty. Liberal ideas collide with the rules and regulations of feudal society.
Zhong Yiwen was unwillingly arranged to meet with the young master of the Yi family to discuss marriage. She was bewitched by the young master who had studied abroad, but found that even though he had studied new ideas in advanced countries, his views on the entire society remained in the old era.
Zhong Yiwen was unwilling to give up her ideals and ambitions for a glamorous man, so she resolutely ran away from her family to study abroad. She learned multiple languages, translated foreign masterpieces into Chinese, and wrote a new page in the history of literature...
A two-and-a-half-hour movie is actually quite long, but the audience was very immersed in it. After the movie ended, the discussion was not about Zhong Yiwen’s love-hate entanglement in the movie, but about some of the other party’s translated and created works.
"Oh my god, Empire Under the Shadow and Endless Corridor were translated by Zhong Yiwen. I didn't notice it when I read these two novels before."
"When Ms. Zhong passed away, I was really heartbroken. She was so young, but she became ill from overwork."
"Although it's quite interesting, there are several parts that I don't understand. It's too fast and I don't have time to think."
"There are many metaphors in it, and the times and personal destiny need to be analyzed together. There will definitely be viewers who write film reviews and analysis later. After reading the analysis, you will understand it after watching it again."
"The pictures taken by Song Chu are so beautiful that I can capture every frame in which Zhong Yiwen appears and treasure it."
"..."
The box office of "I Go Alone" reached 60 million on the first day of its release.
The combined box office of several art films released in the first half of this year is not as high as the first day box office of "My Dear" .
The haters were dismissive.
After all, it is true that Muruo is willing to spend money, but movies don't rely solely on fans. Passers-by are the most important. Fans propped up the box office on the first day, but it will definitely be reduced to its original state in a few days.
However, surprisingly, in the vast majority of posts about the movie, those who have seen the movie are basically discussing Zhong Yiwen's life and how difficult it was for women in that era to resist family control. There is almost no bragging or belittling of Muruo's acting skills.
In short, those who post comments after watching the show don’t seem to be controlling the comments like fans.
Finally, some haters who had never seen the movie couldn't help themselves: "I think Mu Ruo doesn't fit the character at all. She acted so badly. She doesn't look like a talented person at all."
As soon as the comment was posted, it attracted unanimous ridicule: "I know you don't have money to buy movie tickets, so I imagined a movie."
"Did you delete the sentence with the bracket 50 cents?"
"A blind person can surf the Internet these days? How bizarre!"
