During this summer vacation, famous directors from all walks of life gathered together to try to get a piece of the pie during this golden period.
However, although there are many new movies in the summer vacation this year, the real hits and box office hits are still the same ones.
Among them, Shen Teng Ma Li " Catch a Baby " was the best at the box office, breaking the 2.3 billion mark, Wang Chuanjun " Silent Kill " broke 1.2 billion, and Marvel's new film " Deadpool and Wolverine" 》broke the 200 million mark.
The editor thought that director Wu Ershan's new film "Under the Stranger" would be able to continue the myth of "Fengshen: Part 1" and achieve both box office and word-of-mouth success. As a result, the film "flooded" as soon as it was released. .
On the first day of its release, the film's reputation was severely polarized. The score on Douban was as low as 6.2 (the score is still declining, now 6.1), ranking among the worst for the same period. The Douban comment section was also filled with complaints. Audiences have complained about "Under the Stranger", a film that is vulgar and disrespectful of the original work...
In addition, the film's box office performance has also been declining. On the first day of release, only 24.4% of the films were scheduled. With a box office of 38.64 million, the single-day box office is not even as good as "Deadpool and Wolverine" (single-day box office of 54.85 million), which accounts for 18.7% of the scheduled films.
On the 4th day of its release, "Under the Stranger" hit new lows again and again. With 11.6% of the film schedule, the single-day box office was only about 6.21 million, which was replaced by Chen Sicheng's new film " decrypted " which is in the screening stage. It was crushed (the film schedule accounted for about 5.2%, and the single-day box office was 7.88 million).
had twice the film scheduling advantage, but the single-day box office failed! Now Chen Sicheng was completely stunned by Wu Ershan's new film "Under the Stranger"!
In addition, it is reported that Wu Ershan spent 200 million yuan to shoot the film "Under the Stranger", but the box office performance has not exceeded 100 million after 5 days of release. I am afraid that the film will lose all its money. According to the film's box office split ratio Calculated at 39.43%, the film must earn at least 500 million at the box office in order to make money back.
However, judging from the current box office performance of the film, the total box office has exceeded 500 million, which is far away. The current AI predicts a total box office of only 146 million, which is in sharp contrast to the pre-screening media prediction of 450 million to 800 million. Sure enough, making a good film doesn't mean that the director's subsequent films will be guaranteed box office success!
After watching the movie "Under the Stranger", you will know that the director Wu Ershan did not understand the core of the comic/anime "Under the Stranger" at all. Although the protagonist of "Under the Stranger" he shot The stories are all based on the original work, but the finished product contains private goods.
Therefore, the film has been ridiculed: it looks like everything except "Under One Person".
You must know that "Under One Person" is a popular IP in the domestic comics and animation circles. It has a huge fan base, and the world view and plot of the original work are very attractive. If the crew wants to adapt it into a film and television, as long as the work If there are no major changes to the storyline, there will naturally be no shortage of viewers.
Unfortunately, Wu Ershan did not choose to respect the original work. He not only changed the plot, but also boldly innovated and made "original", adding some plots that he thought young people would like to watch (all kinds of side plots, really speechless), and the result was the final work After he realized that the audience might not like it, he actually "shamelessly" let the audience enter the theater first, and then scolded them when they came out.
is really outrageous. You all know that you are making a bad movie, but you still urge the audience to watch it!
In addition, during the early promotion process of the film "Under the Stranger", they used the guise of respecting the original work and careful casting to engage in crazy marketing to attract fans' attention. In the past, it was "miserably sold" and made it look like the fans didn't understand how to appreciate it. This approach of being both responsible and upright not only made fans of the original work feel angry and disappointed, but also made many viewers feel confused and dissatisfied.
Of course, the movie "Under the Stranger" is not without its merits. It made the editor know that the drama version of "Under the Stranger" is not bad at all. The editor regretted that I criticized it earlier, and did not expect the movie version. "Under the Stranger" can be even bigger.
In summary, the failure of the movie "Under the Stranger" in both box office and reputation is not an accidental result. As a comic book movie, it doesn't respect the original work and is crazy about innovation. It wants fans of the original work to buy it but doesn't make a good work. It's both serious and independent. It's really ugly. Now it's better. Now, in the situation where the film schedule is dominant, , was crushed by the screened film "Decryption", and faced the possibility of losing all his money!
