Chapter 174 The Dilemma of Domestic Heroes

Chen Fan opened the mobile video website.

At this time, film critics have started to comment on "On the Journey".

It's just that the first public screening is not over yet, and there are no more viewers posting.

At this time, "People on the Journey" scored 9.2, which can be regarded as a good start.

And the national 0-point box office has also come out.

More than 360 million!

Although this box office is far lower than the 0-point box office of "Terminator", it is already a good result for a comedy.

You must know that the investment cost of this movie is only 400 million.

Now it seems that this movie must be profitable.

At this moment, Nangong Shiyue looked at Chen Fan energetically.

"Chen Fan, why don't we watch "Nightman" again? I just watched the show, and there is the last one at [-]:[-] in the morning!"

Chen Fan was slightly taken aback, did this young lady get enough sleep during the day?So good tonight?

Although he was a little tired at this time, he was still in good spirits.

"Okay, let's watch it again!"

At this time, Chen Fan was quite curious about how "Night Gods" did. Now three or four days have passed, and the box office difference between "Legend of Heroes" and "Legend of Heroes" has almost doubled.

You must know that their box office on the first day is almost the same.

Seeing that Chen Fan agreed, Nangong Shiyue immediately went to the side to buy tickets with some joy.

Chen Fan continued to browse the pages of the two hero films.

"Nightman" scored 7.3 points, with a total box office of 1.5 million.

"Legend of Heroes" scored 5.4 points, with a total box office of 0.87 million.

In terms of data, "Nightman" has begun to crush "Legend of Heroes".

On the forum posts, "Legend of Heroes" is even more negative.

When Chen Fan watched this movie just now, he had only one feeling, it was so earthy.

The movie tells the story of a boy who has superpowers and cooperates with the police to punish crimes and maintain peace.

Although the story is old-fashioned, in fact, the stories told by most hero films are similar to this kind. As long as the filming is good, there is still a market.

But "Legend of Heroes" just made the so-called hero movie into a martial arts movie.

The whole martial arts action is handsome, the actors are also handsome, coupled with the flourishing beauty of Hua Qingshan, if this movie is not compared with "Night Warrior", it can be regarded as a good movie.

The bad thing is that it was released at the same time as "Nightman", and there is no harm without comparison.

"Nightman" is about a man from Eagle Country who was accidentally bitten by a bat and became a person with part of the ability of a vampire.

Especially at night, the protagonist's abilities are even more astonishing, with the characteristics of immortality, strange body skills and speed, and eyes that can see through the night.

The demon that made him a criminal in the night.

In comparison, viewers who were tired of watching martial arts movies suddenly encountered some novel settings, coupled with the gorgeous special effects, and were quickly attracted by it.

Of course, in addition to the handsome martial arts action in "Legend of Heroes", the plot is not smooth enough, which is also a major drawback.

In the forum posts for "Night Man", there are more positive reviews than negative reviews, but most of them focus on the gorgeous special effects and strange settings. They also try to be fresh.

When Chen Fan saw this, he knew it in his heart. After a while, Nangong Shiyue also bought a ticket and came back.

"By the way, do you want to act in a hero movie?"

Chen Fan really has the urge to make this kind of heroic film at this time. Although he doesn't have a script yet, he has the system in hand. Isn't the script readily available?
Nangong Shiyue was taken aback, she opened her pair of sparkling red phoenix eyes, and a trace of curiosity flashed by.

"Can I?"

"If it weren't for the kind of heroine who is too explicit, I would be quite interested!"

Chen Fan nodded and didn't say much. From his vague impression, there are quite a lot of heroine movies, but there are really not many heroines who are not sexy or revealing.

After all, there are few female characters in blockbusters who are not sexy.

"Okay, the movie has started, let's go in and watch it!"

Nangong Shiyue saw Chen Fan pondering, thinking that he was in trouble, she couldn't help being amused, this little Boss Chen wanted to tie herself to the chariot of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, and she was really touched by such painstaking efforts. .

This 19-year-old boy is very patient and does not have the rebelliousness of a teenager. After he has had enough rest, he will really be able to pick up another script that interests him, and maybe he can really sign a contract with Shengtang.

Although the plot of "Night Godsman" is average, it can be considered complete, but it is worthy of the rating of 7.3 on the film and television website.

Throughout the movie, the protagonist grows from harvesting ability, to exercising ability at night, to growing into a night hero who guards the city.

The whole person's character journey is shortened to more than two hours, which can be regarded as making the movie extremely full and not procrastinated.

The vampire-like ability also makes the audience enjoy watching.

"The "Legend of Heroes" loses unfairly..."

……

The release time of "On the Journey" can be considered moderate. This year's summer season, there are not many comedies, there are only two in total, and the box office is average.

In the eyes of filmmakers, this year's summer vacation is a day for big blockbusters to fight each other. In two days, Nanofilm's "Feng Shen Bang 2" will also be released. With the popularity of its previous film, the box office of this film It shouldn't be bad either.

This is also the reason why many comedies did not choose this date to be released.

The battle between the gods brought disaster to the fish in the pond.

However, Chen Fan's movie was chosen on August [-]st. At this time, five blockbuster movies were released one after another. Although the audience was very enjoyable, they still felt a little tired.

Moreover, "Terminator" has brought a good reputation to Tang Dynasty, and the audience doesn't mind giving "On the Journey" a chance. What if this movie is just as good?

In addition, "People on the Journey" is indeed an excellent comedy movie. Wang Qiang and Nan Menghua played the two characters in the film vividly, and every laughing climax came naturally.

As a result, its rating on the film and television website continues to be above 9 points, and almost all of the forums are positive.

After August [-]st passed.

"Nightman" single-day box office 100 million.

"Legend of Heroes" has a single-day box office of 960 million.

"People on the Journey" single-day box office 300 million.

On the day of its release, "People on the Journey" squeezed out "Legend of Heroes", and it was only 800 million away from the top of the single-day box office.

At the beginning, the positive comments from the forums, and even the viewing of the film critics at the premiere ceremony, did not attract the attention of the Longguo film and television circle.

But when the single-day box office came out, this movie completely became the focus of discussions among insiders.

It is normal for big production and big investment to have big returns. After all, movies are visual products, and audiences will also like some movies that are enjoyable to watch.

However, it is extraordinary that a small-production and low-cost film can reap returns comparable to blockbuster films.

With an investment of only RMB 400 million, the single-day box office of "The Lost Journey" actually reached RMB 300 million. This not only allowed Shengtang to recoup its costs, but also made a small profit.

Such an achievement can be said to be quite rare in film history, but the two films produced by Tang Dynasty almost reached this achievement!
