Chapter 41 Breaking Box Office Records
As soon as Wu Qizu showed his face, there was an immediate exclamation of surprise.

The late 90s was the last glorious period of Hong Kong and Taiwan pop culture. The Wu Aizu in this world should be regarded as the last influential superstar in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

A small number of girls who came to watch the movie came for Wu Qizu.

The same thing happened to Ah Wei's female friends, who couldn't help but whisper, "So handsome!"

Awei felt a little inferior after hearing this, and thought to himself, why not go to the Internet cafe later!
I watched it on the big screen right away, but after a long while I still saw the modern plot revolving around dinosaur fossils.

Although Wu Weizushuai, Li Meiqi are fashionable, Ge You is humorous, and there are gun battle scenes with an international mercenary team, it can only be considered mediocre and there are no surprises.

Everyone even suspected that they had been cheated or that they had put the wrong copy.

What we want to see is a thrilling big dinosaur, not a Hong Kong-made gun battle movie!
Just when the patience of some boys was about to reach its limit, the astronomical phenomenon of "Nine Planets in Conjunction" occurred.

All the people living near the dinosaur fossil pit actually traveled back to the Jurassic period.

Some boys felt their adrenaline rush when they saw the plants that were obviously different from those on Earth, as well as the lifelike dinosaurs.

When a pterosaur swooped down to attack a mercenary, many girls in the theater screamed and immediately hid behind the boys next to them.

At this moment, Awei also hugged the girl he liked.

I also suddenly realized why so many girls like to watch horror movies!
Domestic films are subject to censorship restrictions, and there have never been many horror films. This monster movie is a good substitute.

In the following time, his attention was almost entirely on the girl, and he paid no attention to what was happening on the screen.

Anyway, I just felt it was quite exciting. Whenever the big dinosaur came out and chased people, the girl would hide in his arms more.

Well, I can watch more movies like this in the future!
When the film ended, Wei was still dizzy.

Looking back on the plot, it seems like there was nothing much going on. It was just giant dinosaurs eating and chasing people, and a group of humans fleeing and fighting back with the guns they brought with them.

If you watch it without thinking, it seems quite enjoyable.

The girl looked frightened, leaned against him and said, "Let's find a place to rest, it's a bit tiring to watch!"

Upon hearing this, Ah Wei opened his mouth and said, "Let's find a hotel. You can't stay in an internet cafe in your current state!"

The girl nodded and said nothing, letting Wei make the decision.

I complained in my heart, "You really want to take me to the Internet cafe!"

There were a lot of people at the national premiere, and not all of them were couples who came out to watch the movie. There were also some fans of Jiang Heng, Wu Qiuzu or Li Meiqi who thought that a blockbuster about dinosaurs would be exciting and stayed up late to watch it.

How can I describe it after watching the movie? I felt a tightness in my chest. One of my friends ran to an Internet cafe as soon as he left the cinema, turned on his computer, logged into the Mop website, and wrote a review for "100 Million Years B.C."

"I think the plot of this movie is a piece of shit, it's too disconnected, the modern scenes are just dragging the movie's length, why didn't you tell me earlier that you can't do special effects? I can help you imitate a similar script after watching Jurassic Park a few times! The same length of time the dinosaurs appear is at least better than your storyline that's disconnected from the beginning and the end!

But to be honest, the later Jurassic plot is so wonderful and exciting, even more shocking than "Jurassic Park", especially the last shot. When more and more prehistoric animals appeared on the big screen, I was actually shaking all over. It is really not easy for domestic films to produce special effects that surpass Hollywood!
Finally, I want to say, director, if you can't write a good script, just hire a screenwriter. It doesn't cost much, so just spend some money. You have to spend the money you earn!"

This post was quickly responded to and discussed by many netizens, becoming the hottest post on the forum.

Some netizens said that if "100 Million BC" did not have a modern plot and started directly from prehistoric times, it would definitely be a masterpiece comparable to "The Matrix".

Of course, I also know that if I shoot like that, the budget is definitely not enough. So, overall, I still recommend it.

Some netizens even said that if you don’t have too high expectations, the previous plot is actually very good.

I can only say that the later parts are so thrilling that even the few gun battle scenes in the modern plot seem bland.

There is a heated discussion on Mop.com, and the overall evaluation of "100 Million Years BC" is still good.

The main reason was that domestic commercial films at that time were really disappointing, and even Hong Kong films were defeated by Hollywood blockbusters.

Finally someone who can fight comes out, and everyone is quite tolerant.

During the day, major entertainment media began to report on the popularity of the midnight show and the audience's on-site feedback.

Cut out the material that says the film is bad, and broadcast only the strong recommendations!
As co-distributors of the film, Beijing Film Academy and Bonanza have continued to make efforts to increase publicity, even if it means deceiving the audience.

Therefore, although the overall level of "1423 Million BC" is obviously far lower than that of "The Matrix", its box office on the first day was as high as million, exceeding "The Matrix" by nearly five million.

Once the news was reported, it attracted a large number of moviegoers.

What's even more terrible is that in addition to young men and women who like to watch dinosaur movies, children love to watch them even more. On Saturdays and Sundays, more than one-third of the audience in the cinema are parents who bring their children to watch movies, and the box office also set new records.

On the second day, it reached 1597 million, almost breaking through 1600 million.

It started to decline on the third day and reached 1481 million.

In just three days, it achieved a box office revenue of 4678 million, which shocked the entire Chinese film industry.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the box office performance of "100 Million BC" is likely to surpass that of "The Matrix", and may even break the 200 million mark.

But what makes some film critics angry is that the standard of this film is obviously lower than that of "The Matrix". Is there any justice in the world when a bad film sells at a high box office? Is there any law in the world?

These people write film reviews crazily and submit them to major entertainment media.

Some couldn't wait and posted on online forums like Mop, further raising the popularity of the film and boosting the box office of "100 Million Years BC".

At the Beijing Film Studio, all the management were delighted to see such box office results.

Han Sanping was even more ecstatic. Although Jiang Heng was in charge of the production of the film, his name was listed in the producer column.

It’s hard to say about 200 million, but 100 million is mostly certain.

Not to mention that there are film producers in Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia who want to purchase the copyright of "100 Million Years BC". With the addition of Taiwan and Hong Kong, there will definitely be no problem in making a profit.

I don’t know whether the distribution in North America and Europe will go smoothly. How much profit we can make depends on that.

When Jiang Heng came over, Han Sanping talked about this.

"I'll go over there. I can't say how the deal will turn out. You know this movie, its reputation is just average!"

Han Sanping laughed, "There aren't that many critically acclaimed and commercially successful films. As long as it's a big hit at the box office, that's enough!"
