Chapter 572 Unwilling to Believe
At this time, Kugler was certainly unwilling to believe that the animated films produced in China could reach the level of Hollywood.
Of course, Kugler was far from desperate at this time.
Because Kugler also knows something about the Chinese Spring Festival.
That is the biggest festival in China. During this period, all Chinese people will try their best to relax and enjoy themselves to relieve the fatigue of the past year.
Watching movies is one of the most important ways to relax.
Therefore, Coogler is also very clear that the box office and reputation during the day and at night on the first day of the Chinese New Year are the key factors in determining the success of "Black Panther 2".
After all, the sampling rate for midnight movies is still too low.
Let’s wait and see, it’s still unclear who will win.
One forty in the morning.
After watching the entire 99-minute film "Boonie Bears: Back to Earth".
Papapapapapa…
There was an immediate burst of thunderous applause and cheers in the theater.
"Great! This is the best domestic animated film I have ever seen!"
"Brother Chen, my god!"
"Brother Chen can become a legend in the animation film industry through this movie!"
“…”
The faces of those professional film critics were filled with shock.
Su Chen's fans may have entered the theater with fantasies before watching the movie.
Because they hope Su Chen can create a miracle.
But film critics don't believe in miracles when they enter the theater.
After all, in their opinion, China's animation special effects technology is too backward to create miracles.
They all came to watch this domestic animated film with various purposes.
However, at this moment, after they finished watching the entire film "Boonie Bears: Back to Earth", the film critics had only one sentence in their minds: Su Chen is either creating miracles or on his way to creating miracles!
But of course, they didn't have much time to be shocked at this time.
They must write down what they see and publish it as soon as possible.
Then a strange scene appeared.
Dozens of film critics took out their laptops and started typing away.
Su Chen looked at this scene and smiled with satisfaction.
This shows that his animated film has conquered all the film critics in the theater.
This is a very good start.
Once these good reviews spread, the box office of "Boonie Bears: Back to Earth" will see a surge.
At the same time, the fans and audiences in the theater were already paying homage to Su Chen.
"Brother Chen, you are the eternal God in my heart!"
"Brother Chen, please accept my knees!"
"Hubby, you're so handsome! Supermarket me!"
“…”
Zhong Lei, Zhong Jun, Ding Liang and other main members of Huaqiang Fangte all had big smiles on their faces at this time.
A glimpse of one leaf can tell you about autumn; a glimpse of one spot can tell you about the whole leopard.
Based on the widespread likes from netizens online, coupled with the unanimous praise from these film critics, there is no doubt that it is a foregone conclusion that this animated film will be a hit from the start.
This is also true.
On the Internet, the positive reviews of "Boonie Bears: Back to Earth" from netizens from all walks of life have dominated the entire network.
“The best masterpiece of domestic animated films!”
“An animated film with special effects that rival those of Hollywood!”
“Come and watch Boonie Bears: Back to Earth! Brother Chen will blow your mind away!”
"I never dreamed that an animated film could be so hardcore! Brother Chen, how embarrassing it is for those idol films that are labeled as science fiction!"
"I solemnly apologize to Brother Chen! I seriously underestimated his potential!"
“…”
Immediately afterwards, more in-depth and detailed analyses and comments from various film critics were published one after another.
They comprehensively analyzed Boonie Bears: Back to Earth from all aspects, including the storyline, special effects technology, science fiction, world view setting, etc. Finally, they unanimously gave Boonie Bears: Back to Earth a five-star rating!
This immediately caused a frenzy on the Internet.
Originally, netizens from all walks of life have been paying close attention to Su Chen's animated film.
Most people were not optimistic about Su Chen’s “aggressive” actions before.
So many people, especially the die-hard fans of the stars, are waiting to see Su Chen make a fool of himself.
However, what they never expected was that they waited and waited, but received no negative reviews or complaints from netizens.
Instead, it received widespread praise from netizens.
What’s even more fatal is that the film critics gave it unanimous five-star reviews!
In this case, the situation is completely different.
Before, almost everyone was pessimistic about Su Chen’s animated film.
But now, it turns out that Su Chen seems to have slapped everyone in the face!
As a result, more and more netizens, with various thoughts in mind, frantically booked movie tickets for "Boonie Bears: Back to Earth".
Even though the cinema was only open until 2 a.m., they were unable to watch Boonie Bears: Back to Earth first.
But they were eager to know.
Is Su Chen's animated film as magical as netizens and film critics say?
at the same time.
The three movies "Detective Pu Songling", "The New King of Comedy" and "Black Panther 2" have also been broadcast one after another.
However, the majority of comments from netizens on these three movies were negative.
"After watching this movie, I can now finally prove that this is a terrible movie!"
"Maybe our expectations of Stephen Chow were too high! The New King of Comedy did not meet our expectations!"
"How much did Black Panther 2 cost to make? With such cheap scenes and special effects, do you think it deserves to be called a Hollywood blockbuster?"
"We are not stupid people with lots of money! You want to use such a crappy movie to reap us? No way!!!"
“…”
Chenglong looked at this scene and shook his head helplessly.
At this point, he had already come to a preliminary conclusion that the movie "Detective Pu Songling" might be a flop.
Although it is only the premiere now, the various problems reflected by netizens may have hit upon the film's flaws.
Before, Chenglong himself didn’t think there was anything wrong, but after netizens’ complaints, Chenglong looked at and thought about those parts of the movie again and felt that there were indeed some shortcomings.
In this way, perhaps the box office on New Year's Day will not be too bad.
But if such negative reviews continue to dominate during the day, then the movie may fail.
However, even so, Chenglong still sent a congratulatory message to Su Chen as soon as possible.
Because Chenglong also saw the overwhelming praise from netizens for "Boonie Bears: Back to Earth".
He is really happy.
“It is a miracle that Mr. Su Chen has created an oasis like Boonie Bears: Back to Earth in the desert of domestic animation!”
…
Master Xing was really unhappy at this time.
His new movie "The New King of Comedy" has received good reviews, but the proportion of good reviews is really too low.
Negative reviews from netizens accounted for the majority.
Netizens almost unanimously complained that his new movie was a rehash of old stuff, selling sentimentality and lacking in originality.
This made Master Xing a little unbearable.
If the reception is mixed, Stephen Chow can accept it.
Because his movies have always been like this, few of them receive unanimous praise.
As long as the box office is good, Stephen Chow can accept criticism.
But widespread complaints like now are not a good sign.
Because this indicates that his new movie is likely to flop.
After seeing netizens’ unanimous praise for Su Chen’s “Boonie Bears: Back to Earth”, Stephen Chow became even more dissatisfied.
Why can a domestic animated film by Su Chen receive such high and widespread acclaim?
Well, Stephen Chow decided to go to the cinema in the morning to watch this animated film directed by Su Chen, which was highly praised by netizens.
On the other side of the ocean.
Coogler was really angry when he saw the widespread complaints from Chinese netizens about "Black Panther 2".
This generation of Chinese netizens is really uncultured and doesn't even know how to cooperate in the harvesting.
If this kind of reputation continues, then don't expect his movie to do well at the box office in China.
But why?
Weren’t the Chinese audiences easy to attract in the past?
His movie is not that bad.
In its native country, it has already achieved good box office results.
Why are the Chinese audiences so unconvinced this time?
At the same time, Kugler also showed a strong interest in Suchen's "Boonie Bears: Back to Earth".
Is this Chinese animation really that strong?
Kugler doesn't think so. It might be because Su Chen has too many crazy fans.
Just think about how Tencent, Jack Ma, and Yun Ma are all crazy about Su Chen, and you will know how great Su Chen's influence is in China.
However, Kugler also knew that Su Chen's animated film would not be bad, otherwise, the Chinese netizens who had been pessimistic about Su Chen would not have such a 180-degree change in attitude.
"Why not go and see for yourself?"
Anyway, it’s only two o’clock in the afternoon now.
So, Coogler went to the cinema himself and bought a ticket for Boonie Bears: Back to Earth.
Then he entered the theater.
To be honest, Kugler came in with a critical attitude at this time.
But two hours later.
After watching "Boonie Bears: Back to Earth", Kugler's face was full of shock.
"How did Su Chen do it!!!"
At this moment, Kugler's mind was filled with this huge question.
Previously, the level of special effects in Chinese animated films was at least thirty years behind Hollywood!
But now, looking at the special effects of "Boonie Bears: Back to Earth", it is actually comparable to the level of Hollywood special effects!
How did Su Chen do it!!!
Of course, Kugler is destined to never find the answer to this question.
Because Su Chen will not tell others that he is a cheater.
It is impossible for others to know how Su Chen's skills became so powerful out of nowhere.
This left Kugler with nothing but confusion in his mind, except for asking three soul-searching questions.
…
The morning of the first day of the Chinese New Year.
After everyone has performed the traditional New Year greetings ceremony.
People began to look for entertainment programs one after another.
Some people will go to watch the highlights of the Spring Festival Gala, while others may choose to travel.
But there are also a large number of people who will bring their wives and children to the cinema to watch a family movie.
This is also the basis for the formation of the Spring Festival New Year period.
These people began to focus on the four movies "Detective Pu Songling", "The New King of Comedy", "Black Panther 2", and "Boonie Bears: Back to Earth".
Of course, at this time, the online reviews of the film’s premiere last night in the early hours of the morning became a reference for everyone’s choice.
"Oh my god! Brother Chen's Boonie Bears: Back to Earth has received consistently good reviews? Did he hire some internet trolls to post them?"
"I never knew that Brother Chen is now also good at it, and he's so good at it!"
"The other three movies all received bad reviews, only Su Chen's Boonie Bears: Back to Earth received rave reviews. Do you believe it? I don't believe it anyway!"
“…”
However, because the online public opinions are too one-sided, people have begun to doubt the authenticity of these opinions.
You should know that hiring internet trolls to give positive reviews is also a common practice for producers.
Although this is inconsistent with everyone's impression of Su Chen's style.
But it’s not surprising that the producers would do anything for the sake of movie box office.
Besides, it is true that Su Chen is the main investor, but it is Xingyi Media that is responsible for publicity and promotion.
Is it strange that Zhong Lei and Zhong Jun, two veterans in the entertainment industry, would hire an army of internet trolls to post good reviews?
So at this time, when people saw this trend in public opinion, they all thought it was not quite true.
So, people decided not to believe the good reviews from those "water army" comments.
It is better to choose movies according to your own preferences.
These developments were quickly fed back to the producers of "Detective Pu Songling" and "The New King of Comedy".
They felt that this was a very good opportunity to turn the tables.
Since the audience suspects that Zhong Lei and Zhong Jun hired internet trolls to post positive reviews, why not make this suspicion a reality?
So, the next moment, a huge wave of controversy ensued .
"Zhong Lei and Zhong Jun are so shameless that they actually want to use the Internet trolls to mislead the audience!"
"Everyone knows the quality of domestic animated films! Is it possible that they are as weird as the trolls say?"
"Whether a movie is good or bad is decided by the majority of the audience, not by a small group of trolls!"
“…”
They have not seen Su Chen's "Boonie Bears: Back to Earth", but according to their understanding, the animated films produced by Su Chen can't possibly be on par with Hollywood standards.
So, when the audience also expressed doubts, they immediately sided with the audience.
The producers of "Black Panther 2" on the other side of the ocean are also very professional.
At this time, they also realized that this was a marketing opportunity for them.
"It is suspected that Su Chen hired a group of trolls to discredit his opponents and give himself good reviews!"
"There must be something fishy going on! Is Su Chen's animated film really that outrageous?"
“‘Boonie Bears: Back to Earth’ is suspected of data fraud!”
“…”
Comments like these soon spread across all major Chinese social platforms.
