At the same time, similar conversations were taking place among other invited film critics.

Generally speaking, a two-hour movie often makes the audience feel tired, but "Red Careerist" is clearly an exception - even after leaving the theater, film critics are still discussing the plot fiercely.

If "Red Careerist" is a surprise to most female audiences, then it is more of an unexpected work to male film critics.

But no matter how they feel inside, most of them approve of Tong Yan's approach: she did not choose to return to her family, but chose her own career and dreams. To a certain extent, this effectively prevented the film's plot from falling into clichés.

After all, they have seen too many films that praise the supremacy of family and the idea that love can conquer everything. This kind of film that focuses on telling the story of women’s career is very rare in the domestic film market and is indeed an eye-opener.

[A young director and a young screenwriter have the courage to make such a sharp film about women in the workplace. Obviously, this is by no means a simple chick flick.]

[“The so-called unity of knowledge and action means being ruthless to others and even ruthless to yourself.” The protagonists’ famous lines are endless. I must admit that this is a workplace movie full of murderous intent. ]

[A film tailor-made for newcomers in the workplace, with a novel theme and realistic and full characters. What's more worth mentioning is that this film is the first original work of screenwriter Ye Minglan, and it is highly recommended. ]

[A workplace film that is comparable to Hollywood movies, which instantly kills some domestic workplace dramas that only focus on love. 】

[The two heroines' determination and ability to win deeply impressed everyone, including me outside the screen. It seems that I haven't seen such a decisive and ambitious female character in domestic cinemas for many years. Why can't our careers succeed? It's because we don't dare to face our desires. ]

[Second-rate director, second-rate screenwriter, first-rate actor. Shen Man has returned to the film industry with her strength. I believe she can definitely win a nomination for Best Actress.]

……

The reviews from film critics and other audiences attracted many passers-by who were interested in workplace themes to enter the theaters, and the pre-sale box office continued to rise. As of July 7, it had officially exceeded 16 million.

"Sure enough, the pre-screening roadshow is quite effective." Wu Tingting handed the milk tea with a straw to Li Anni and sighed: "The pre-sale of "Red Careerist" has been increasing in the past few days. Now it is higher than the box office of some popular movies."

Li Anni nodded in agreement, but then sighed, "I hope the total box office of the movie can be higher in the end... Su Su has been flying around for the road show these days, and it seems that she is very concerned about this movie."

"After all, this is her first movie as the lead. If the performance is not good, her future resources will probably be affected." Wu Tingting also sighed.

Although she is not as fanatical as Li Anni in chasing stars, she is also one of Su Lingxi's fans - especially after watching the movie "Red Careerist" at noon today, she can't wait to see Su Lingxi's next work.

Compared to those boring art films, "Red Careerist" has a dramatic plot, which gives the audience a more refreshing viewing experience; but compared to those fast-food commercial films, the life philosophy and values ​​contained in "Red Careerist" give people an indescribable sense of power.

The characters are novel, the images are very textured and show a different kind of feminine charm - in Wu Tingting's opinion, this is definitely a classic.

"The media predicts that the first-day box office will exceed 40 million, but I don't know if it's accurate." Li Anni opened the app and took a look at the real-time box office of the movie. "It's only afternoon now, and it's already over 30 million. It looks like it should really reach 40 million on the first day."

As one of Su Lingxi's earliest fans, Li Anni has now completely transformed from a newbie in the fan circle to a passionate data worker. She is always knowledgeable when talking about movie-related fan circle knowledge.

Wu Tingting glanced at the page on her phone and said with a smile, "See, I've said it before, as long as the quality of the movie itself is good, there is no need to worry about the box office."

"Anyway, watching it once is not enough. I want to watch it again." Li Anni cleared her throat, a sly light flashed in her eyes, "Tingting, come with me."

"Uh..." Wu Tingting hesitated and fell silent.

"Oh, I'll treat you." Li Anni was afraid that she would refuse her, so she quickly raised the stakes, "Let's watch a movie after dinner and then go home. The time is just right."

Without waiting for her to answer, Li Anni quickly opened the ticket purchasing app and bought two evening show tickets with good seats in advance.

Wu Tingting glared at her helplessly and had to agree.

……

"The first-day box office of Red Careerist exceeded 4000 million..." Dai Xiaoyue browsed the posters posted by fans on Weibo, frowning more and more, "Today's real-time box office actually fell?"

Even with sunglasses on, it couldn't hide her ugly expression.

She couldn't understand why this female-oriented movie, which cost only 20 or 30 million yuan, had such good box office results?

According to her expectations, the box office appeal of Shen Man and Su Lingxi is not very strong. The former has national popularity but no die-hard fans, and the latter has many fans but cannot compare with those male traffic stars. It is already good enough that the pre-sale of "Red Careerist" can exceed 10 million.

However, the development of the matter was completely contrary to her expectations: the pre-sale box office of "Red Careerist" alone exceeded 4012 million, and the box office soared to 4500 million on the first day of release. Today, it even fell back to million...

This box office may not be a big deal for some big productions with a cost of hundreds of millions, but for such a low-budget female-themed movie, it is already a miraculous result.

No, the decline may also be due to the fact that the movie was released on Friday. Everyone knows that the box office on weekends is always higher than that on weekdays. This has nothing to do with the quality of the movie.

Dai Xiaoyue thought to herself.

She suppressed her anger, changed to a more comfortable sitting position on the recliner, and continued to browse the data on the web page.

The latest predictions for the total box office of "Red Careerist" by major media in the film industry have all increased from 8000 million before its release to figures in the hundreds of millions. At a glance, there is basically no forecast that it will be less than 4 million.

On what basis did these so-called professionals make their predictions? They are not professional at all!

Dai Xiaoyue closed her eyes irritably and threw her phone aside.
