Disaster Artist

... was dumbfounded.

shock.

Shock.

But because he was too shocked, he lost his exclamation and shouting, and finally fell into a silent astonishment. Before he even had time to utter an exclamation, his brain froze, and he stared blankly at the third weekend of the release of "City of Stars Falling" The box office data, completely lost the ability to judge.

A 1.4% box office drop, so, what does that mean?

Not only does it mean that "Starfall City" broke through the blockade of the theater alliance's sanctions order, wrote a box office miracle, and once again continued Lu Qian's aura of victory with an unparalleled attitude, even "Deadpool" broke through the dual ratings of restricted and autumn files. Feats of feats of constraining greatness also appear to be overshadowed.

In the third week of its release, the box office was still able to maintain a high level. The almost negligible decline in the box office broke the market rules and completely subverted all people's cognition. The definition and judgment of the film market in the past half century have all been invalidated. chapter.

Shock! shock! Shock!

In fact, strictly speaking, people had already expected that the momentum of "City of Starfall" could no longer be suppressed—

The clues can already be seen from the box office on weekdays from Monday to Thursday. No matter how you say it, the word-of-mouth popularity of "City of Starfall" is the best guarantee. Among them, the highest score of the theater score is the foundation for the film to detonate the market. On the premise, all kinds of lace news have also become Dongfeng.

That is to say, everyone from the theater alliance to the major film companies has already smelled the frenzy, and they can already feel the coming heat wave a few days in advance.

Although, when I actually saw the weekend box office data, my mind was still blank, and all the surprises and surprises disappeared into nothingness.

Unbelievable—

"The Last Romance of the Internet Age."

"After 'Starfall City', there is no more romance."

"Romantic to the bone, but also sad to the bone."

The times are advancing, and people's perception of life and self has been quietly changing.

Once upon a time, love was regarded as the standard, and everyone was pursuing romance and purity. The unswerving love until death was mesmerizing. The culture of "love is greater than the sky" has deeply affected generations; but after entering the Internet age, , For various reasons, the younger generation has given up believing in love.

Love is no longer a necessity, let alone a pursuit of life. It is even considered a dispensable consumer product by young people. A new attitude towards life is changing the entire social structure, including popular culture. Most directly, the popular chick flick has Almost disappeared.

Or from another perspective, it is not that the younger generation does not pursue love, but the pessimism in their bones makes them refuse to continue to believe in love.

It is precisely because of this that during the early publicity of "City of Falling Stars", Blue Whale Pictures emphasized that this is a love movie, and its appeal to young audiences has dropped significantly. Instead, it is Lu Qian's "marriage movie". "Trilogy" is more in line with the younger generation's views on love and marriage.

However, the most special thing about "City of Falling Stars" is that it is indeed a love story, but in essence, it is a story about missing:

On the one hand, it has the retro charm of the golden age, and still believes in love and romance, just like the group of fools who believe in dreams.

On the other hand, there are the struggles of the younger generation, who believe in love but are afraid of being hurt, who hold expectations but are afraid of disappointment, and in the end they still dare not take a step lightly. And sad, immersed in solitude.

The whole movie is immersed in such contradictory and sensitive, delicate and rich emotions. This is indeed about love, but it is more than that.

Perhaps, believing in love is like believing in fairy tales and dreams. They are a group of idiots who are ridiculed for their stupidity and become a minority in society; Not the way forward.

The montage at the end of the movie carries a kind of expectation, fantasy and belief, which condenses the mixed contradictions of young people in the Internet age.

then-

After the movie was released, very, very unexpectedly, it was regarded as a love classic by the Internet generation, and the mighty praise burst out with incredible energy.

"If you only watch one romantic movie in your life, it's 'City of Starfall'."

"The last love of the young generation."

"I never believed in love, but after watching 'The City of Stars Falling' I realized that I really couldn't believe it."

"How on earth did the director do it, so romantic yet so realistic."

"Hmph, you lied to me about falling in love again—but, I was really deceived!"

"So pure and so complex, it's not a movie anymore."

Not long ago, the "New Year's Eve" movie-watching frenzy set off by social networks is essentially a kind of romantic marketing, and with the fermentation and precipitation of time, people's discussions about romance and love have also spread in an all-round way. The circle index is directly full.

And then-

A miracle was born.

Although this is not the first time, the second time or even the third time and the fourth time, Lu Qian has written too many brilliant books, but when he really saw the box office drop in the third week of "City of Falling Stars", he was completely shocked .

People expect Lu Qian to hand over a 100-point answer sheet, and Lu Qian once again handed in a 200-point answer sheet, easily breaking all fantasies and expectations, detonating a heat wave, and the whole market went crazy.

In the first week of January, things change.

"Starfall City" continues to be strong. If it is a shocking upset to overthrow "Jedi Knight 8" to become the champion last week, then this week will completely enter the "Starfall City" one-man show mode. It was overshadowed, and even "Jedi Knight 8" was completely reduced to a supporting role.

focus, utterly, utterly—

Relying on the unparalleled 1.4% decline in the third week that wrote a new history, "The City of Starfall" strongly won the global weekend box office rankings for two consecutive times; The threshold is only one step away, subverting all prejudices.

How about a musical movie?

What about art movies, UU reading www.uukanshu.com?

Golden Kite Award, so what?

What's more, what about the theater alliance's sanction order?

Breaking the blockade time and time again, reversing prejudice time and time again, "City of Starfall" writes its own history step by step with an incredible gesture.

Last year, Lu Qian tried different types of creative challenges for the first time. After winning the Best Director Award at the Weihai Film Festival, "Tourist" won a box office of 800 million yuan, and "Lover" won a box office of 4.9 billion yuan after winning the limelight during the awards season. , The two stunning performances, one in front and one in the back, completely gained a foothold.

This year, after "Raid 2" and "Deadpool" completely rewrote the history of the off-season box office, "Starfall City" opened a new chapter with the golden kite award—

From all aspects, there is no suspense in the final global box office results of "The City of Stars Falling" surpassing "Lover". Therefore, who is the sanctions imposed by the theater alliance restricting?

Sanction order sanctioned a loneliness.
