Tuesday, May 1.

Pei Qian remembered that the May Day holiday in 2012 was supposed to be held on the 29th, 30th, and 1st, but in fact, it became a continuous holiday from the 28th to the 2nd, which is obviously a slight change in the development of this world.

But for Pei Qian, of course, this is a good thing, he was very unhappy with the behavior of "taking two days off and making up three days off", many times he made up three days of vacation, and as a result, he had to embezzle two Saturdays, and he said that it was three days off, but in fact it was only one day?

It makes a lot more sense to arrange a holiday like this.

And for Pei Qian, more holidays and less work for employees are also a great thing for the company.

Today is a rest day, but the press conference on OTTO Technology's side is very anxious, so Jiang Yuan temporarily applied for two hours of overtime today to discuss the details of the press conference with Mr. Pei.

Pei Qian thought about it, gave Jiang Yuan five times his daily salary today, and then agreed to his request.

It's a pity that Pei Qian himself can't get a salary from the company, otherwise according to this standard of overtime wages, Pei Qian is likely to work overtime until employees doubt their lives.

In short, let's go to the movies first.

Pei Qian put on a mask and walked alone to a small theater near his residence.

On the one hand, because it is close, it is more convenient to walk in a few minutes; On the other hand, it is because the popular screenings of several large theaters are full, and it is not easy to buy tickets.

In fact, Pei Qian is still very happy to see the explosive situation of "Angry Sea Battleship", which shows that Fanqi Media's efforts have not been in vain!

It's spending money on publicity, inviting the water army to build momentum, and rubbing the popularity of "Mission and Choice", if the box office doesn't explode on the first day of release after so much effort, it really can't be said.

Not to mention that they themselves are difficult to top, Mr. Pei is also difficult to top.

When he came to the cinema, there were still a few minutes left to enter after taking the tickets, Pei Qian walked around casually and saw a lot of promotional materials about "Battleship of the Angry Sea" in the hall.

One of the most striking is a poster, in the middle of which the four metallic art characters of "Battleship of the Angry Sea" divide the poster into two parts.

The upper part is two men and a woman in military uniforms, the wreckage of an alien spaceship in the sky dragging a long tail flame down, and the sunset in the distance; And the bottom half is in the vast expanse of the sea, a battleship floats alone, and in the distance is the huge shadow of an alien ship, and the battleship is completely enveloped in it.

I have to say, this poster is okay.

It's just that Pei Qian saw the three leading actors above, and always felt that the handsome guy in the middle seemed to be a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.

It's just that it used to be long hair, but now it's short.

"Starring: John Stanton?"

"It's a familiar name."

Pei Qian suddenly felt that something seemed wrong, and hurriedly took out his mobile phone to open the Dog Eye APP, clicked on the movie details page of "Battleship of the Angry Sea", and clicked into the personal space of the starring actor.

Sure enough, the starring John Stanton's last movie before "Battleship of the Fury Sea" was "Flying Star Journey"!

"Why are you again!"

Pei Qian almost fainted on the spot.

He still remembers watching the introduction of the movie "Flying Star Journey" before, saying that in order to play the role of the protagonist former officer Tim, the starring John Stanton worked very hard to complete the rigorous physical training during the filming, completed the filming under the condition of enduring the pain and torture, and lost a full 25 pounds, which can be called a professional model.

Before the release of "Flying Star Journey", director Daryl and starring John Stanton were about to be blown into the sky, Pei Qian thought that this movie would have to cut a billion dollars at the box office as soon as it was released, right? As a result, in the end, it took less than 300 million at the box office in China, and the global box office was even more lost to my grandmother's family.

As a result, how did "Battleship of the Angry Sea" play this person again?

Should the director ......

Pei Qian looked at the cast and crew of "Battleship of the Angry Sea" again, and found that the director was no longer the Daryl before, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

It's okay, it's okay.

I thought I was on a par with this group of people!

It's not bad news, the key is that the team in your previous "Flying Star Journey" was inevitably too weak, which made it difficult for Mr. Pei to trust you.

Now the director's resume is okay, and he has also made several more famous movies.

Pei Qian couldn't help but give a thumbs up to the starring John Stanton.

It seems that this guy is still quite wise, knowing very well that he can't hang himself from one tree, and he has to try a few more trees. The failure of "Flying Star Journey" last time was obviously the director's pot, and this time it should not be a big problem to change the director.

Pei Qian entered the theater with great anticipation.

……

Two hours later, Pei Qian walked out with a confused expression.

What have I been watching?

It stands to reason that the special effects of this movie are really good, especially when the battleship is playing drifting and artillery salvos at sea, the violent artillery fire rises and the shock wave shakes the sea surface with layers of ripples and ripples, and the visual effects of this scene are very shocking.

The armor and battleship of the aliens in the movie also look quite good, with a sense of technology.

There is also a disaster scene in which an alien spacecraft crashes into the Earth's artificial satellite and falls above the city, which is also a standard disaster movie scene, and the effect is outstanding.

But...... In addition to the big scenes smashed by these special effects, which are more memorable, what about the other parts?

The key is the plot logic of this film, which always feels a little unsmooth?

Pei Qian took out his mobile phone and searched for the movie review of "Battleship of the Angry Sea" on the Internet.

"A typical rice-style patriotic educational film, with a lot of special effects, but it still can't cover up the mentally retarded plot, and there is really nothing to talk about except for special effects."

"Aliens, can you bring some high-IQ soldiers and high-level weapons when you engage in aggression? Is it a human thing to be broken by a sniper rifle to break the glass of a spaceship? ”

"There are too many slots to spit out, but it's reasonable, after all, this film is for the promotion of the navy, and most military fans just want to watch the battleship drift and the sixteen-inch cannon fire on the big screen, and it doesn't matter who it is."

"Those who complain about the plot don't understand the movie! The aliens obviously came to Earth with a friendly purpose, and they all fought back passively......"

"I think if most people don't understand the plot of a movie, it should be the director's problem. At least half an hour of the first half of the time is spent filming all kinds of messy content that has nothing to do with the main story, wouldn't it be better to take some time to introduce more basic settings? ”

"Why do many military fans say that this film is good-looking? The label of this film is obviously 'science fiction'! I also came to see the sci-fi theme, and that's it? Isn't it really amusing me that an alien spaceship capable of interstellar travel has been sunk by a battleship that has been decommissioned by mankind? ”

"Seriously, I didn't think the plot of "Mission and Choice" was good before, and at that time, I also thought that a movie like "Mission and Choice" would just watch special effects, and it didn't matter if the plot was blunt. As a result, after watching "Battleship of the Fury Sea", I found that this is called 'nothing but special effects'...... the plot of "Mission and Choice" is much stronger than it......"

"And then there's the acting skills of the actors, I thought that John Stanton was also a veteran superstar in Hollywood, so I played this? Just this protagonist in the movie, he ordered his subordinates to attack an alien battleship and kill a boatload of people by hitting stones with eggs, and he had to rely on his subordinates to choke his neck and shout to make him sober up, this is the professionalism of a soldier? I don't know if it's the problem of the script or the actors, compared to Captain Qin Yi, this is simply an insult to the soldiers......"

"So, is it the movie that brings the declining actors, or the actors who make the declining movies? John Stanton had "Flying Star Journey" before and "Flying Star Battleship" after "Battleship of the Furious Sea", both of which were heavyweight blockbusters, but both of them were box office Waterloo, the box office of "Battleship of the Furious Sea" looks to be stronger than "Journey of the Flying Stars", but most of them still have to lose all their money, and the starring John Stanton is afraid that it will be difficult to resist......"

"This has to mention Lu Zhiyao, who is also known as 'box office poison', you see that when he made the previous movies, he also made one after another, and it seems that no one can take him. But as soon as Mr. Pei made a move, wouldn't this be there? So I think it's still the director's pot a little bigger. ”

Indeed, such a comparison of "Mission and Choice" is really crushing! I really didn't expect that domestic sci-fi movies would crush foreign blockbusters, not to mention, take friends to watch "Mission and Choice" again during the holidays! ”

"The key is that the previous publicity and distribution of "Angry Sea Battleship" in China was crazy about "Mission and Choice", saying that "Mission and Choice" was laughing to death because I was afraid that they would change the release schedule!"

"That is, can the performance of "Angry Sea Battleship" still make Mr. Pei admit it? Are you kidding? People Pei always crashed into "Fantasy War Remake" half a month in advance, what does it have to do with your "Battleship of the Furious Sea"? ”

Looking at the audience's comments on the movie, Pei Qian was speechless.

Who would have thought that "Battleship of the Angry Sea", which was pinned on by Mr. Pei, would overturn like "Flying Star Journey"!

Up to now, "Battleship of the Furious Sea" on several film review websites has hovered around 6~7 points, although many military fans have rated this movie a good score, but it can't save its reputation on the verge of collapse among passers-by.

The estimated domestic box office of the dog eye APP is less than 300 million, although this movie has not yet been released in the Beimi region, but depending on the current urine, even the domestic box office will be pounced, and the Beimi side will definitely not be much better.

The investment in this movie is probably going to be all wasted.

What's worse is that this movie seems to be the same as the original "Flying Star Journey", making a wedding dress for the movie "Mission and Choice"!

Originally, "Battleship of the Angry Sea" spent a lot of resources to promote it in China, and in order to touch "Mission and Choice", the two movies were secretly bound. But now it coincides with the May Day file, and the performance of "Battleship of the Angry Sea" is so poor, in the absence of other strong competitors, the audience can only choose to watch "Mission and Choice"!

Although "Mission and Choice" has been released for half a month, after all, in time for the May Day holiday, many people who usually don't have time to watch movies will also go to the theater, and the movie-watching group has grown a lot, and many passers-by who didn't pay attention to it before have also been attracted to it.

In other words, "Mission and Choice" will definitely usher in a wave of contrarian rises during the May Day period like the original "Beautiful Tomorrow", pushing the estimated box office of the Dog Eye APP to a higher level!

Pei Qian felt a little loveless.

"I kind of understand, you are not a rescuer at all, you are here to deliberately mess with me, right?"

"This starring, John Stanton, will be blocked forever! If I collide with your film again, I'll be a puppy! ”

"Even if you don't hesitate to ruin your acting career, you have to come to me, what a hate!"

Pei Qian angrily threw the ticket stub of the movie ticket into the trash.
