Saturday night was the most active time for the netizens. For the single dogs who lived in the city, playing games, reading blogs, watching videos, and bragging on the forum was undoubtedly the cheapest form of entertainment.
It was already past ten o 'clock. In the Jianghai community forum, the number of online members and visitors increased. The number of posts in the major sections such as Miscellaneous Topics, National Outlook, Military, Entertainment, Film and Television reached new highs.
As a famous online community in the country, Jianghai's forum had always been very popular. Often when a post was refreshed, it would sink and disappear in a few seconds. Only posts that were enhanced by the moderator could squeeze into the front page.
And tonight, at least half of the popular posts on the front page of the film and television section were related to the recently released "Young Pugilistic World". Moreover, they were all film reviews written by "Gods".
There were many "Gods" in the Jianghai community film and television section. Their common characteristic was that they stayed online for a long time. The frequency of their posts was very high. Moreover, all of them could be considered as jokers. When they commented on popular or obscure movies and TV series, they were often very sharp. Many times, they were like venomous snakes.
However, generally speaking, the film and television works that were criticized by these "Gods" were not necessarily failures. There was no lack of box office sales or high ratings, but they were still able to influence a group of audiences.
In fact, there was no lack of real film critics, freelancers, or even media reporters among the "great gods" in Jianghai. There was definitely a certain gap between their appreciation and that of the general public. Just like the works they praised, the box office might be so bleak that they couldn't even recover the cost.
This week, Jianghai community had a movie viewing event and received a lot of free tickets. Some of them were given as rewards to senior members, and some were used for lucky draws. Therefore, today "Young Pugilistic World" was released nationwide. There were many people who ran to the film and television section to watch it.
Of course, this also included a group of "Gods".
Tonight, the firepower of the "Gods" in Jianghai was all focused on "Young Pugilistic World".
[Spending 150 million to get this thing, I'm really laughing!]
[Leaving halfway through, it's really boring.]
[The essence of "Young Pugilistic World" is all in the trailer. After watching the trailer, there's no need to buy a ticket!]
[I wasted 100 yuan!]
… It was simply a flood of negative comments.
Xu Kai's post, [I just finished watching Young World in Pugilistic World. Share your thoughts on the movie], was also one of them.
Compared to those "gurus" who were spewing venom, Xu Kai's post was undoubtedly more neutral. It was also written in great detail and was very realistic. Therefore, the moderator added the essence of the post and sent it to the front page. The number of clicks quickly exceeded ten thousand.
Xu Kai's post was filled with resentment and ridicule. As a fan of the novel, he had bought all the legal books of Young Wanderer and read them twice. He quite liked this martial arts novel, and he was looking forward to the movie that was adapted into a movie.
Especially after watching the exciting trailer, he spent a lot of effort to get tickets.
In the end, he brought his girlfriend to watch the show at night and was splashed with a bucket of cold water.
This was because Wanhao Pictures had adapted Young Pugilistic World to a ridiculous degree. The story was fragmented, the connection was stiff, and there were problems with the logic. Although there were many stars in the movie, there were no characters that made people's eyes light up.
To be fair, the special effects of this movie were done quite well. The giant screen effect was very outstanding. However, the fighting in the movie was completely magical, and it was completely different from the martial arts style in the original novel!
In other words, Young Pugilistic World was actually a magical special effects film in the guise of wuxia. Coupled with the messy relationships between the characters and a third-rate romance story, it was all boiled into a steaming pot and served up to the table.
Xu Kai felt that it was not delicious. It was filled with a strange taste, and it was not the taste that he had imagined.
He had already watched a few similar blockbusters a few years ago, when the IP of online novels was very popular. He was already tired of it, and the special effects of Young Wanderer was far from being comparable to the top Hollywood blockbusters.
Then what was the selling point of this movie? Was it Huo Feile's face that had no acting skills and only knew how to act cool?
Xu Kai was really disappointed. He felt like he had been cheated.
The dissatisfaction and ridicule he expressed in the post were acknowledged by many netizens who had also watched the movie that night.
Everyone had booked tickets in advance or snatched tickets. They rushed into the theater excitedly, bought drinks and popcorn, and were waiting to enjoy a feast for the eyes. In the end …
Just as Xu Kai had said, everyone's appetite had been whetted by the early publicity of Young Wanderer, which was why there was such a big gap.
If one did not have such high expectations, they could actually just watch the movie with popcorn.
The most disappointed people were probably the fans of the original novel. There were also a few fans in the movie version. According to them, they wanted to stuff the script into the scriptwriter's mouth so that he could swallow it and then take it out.
Maybe the things that he would take out would be even more valuable …
At the same time, on the Waves blog, the comments on Young Wanderer were polarized. One side was cheering and strongly recommending it, while the other side was criticizing it and criticizing it. There were also many people who did not know the truth but liked to join in the fun. The two sides were fighting fiercely in the official V of Young Wanderer.
Actually, be it praise or criticism, the success or failure of a movie was ultimately determined by the box office. There were many blockbuster movies that had been scolded badly, and some of them even became more popular the more they were scolded. It was hard to say.
The next morning, the box office rankings on Guangying website were updated on time. Young Wanderer's first day of screening was 42.75%, with a box office of 107 million!
It broke 100 million on the first day!
Although it was not rare for a movie to break 100 million on the first day, as a purely domestic movie, Young Wanderer's box office breaking 100 million on the first day was still very dazzling. It was worthy of the media praising it.
On the internet, the voices of those who were criticizing it were suppressed by the box office of more than 100 million. The influence of a forum like Jianghai Community Movie Version could not be compared to the Waves blog. No matter how fiercely they criticized it, it did not affect the overall situation.
On the 6th of July, Young Wanderer's box office hit 125 million. It had accumulated 232 million in two days. It showed a strong momentum and caused many cinemas to increase the number of screenings, crushing the other movies that were released at the same time.
But no one expected that on the 7th of July, the box office of Young Wanderer would suddenly take a big dive. It dropped from 125 million on the previous day to 61 million, a drop of more than 50%!
Such a drastic drop caused the industry to be in an uproar!
