"The Last Transfer in Mobei of the Tang Dynasty" became popular, which was not surprising to Li Yi.
But what surprised Li Yi was that the popularity of "Datang" was a bit exaggerated.
Within 24 hours of being online, the total number of views reached nearly 10 million.
The key is that it has received rave reviews and its ratings on the popular film review website remain high.
It has a rating of 8.8 points, more than 50,000 ratings, and over 10,000 comments.
This is still on Dazhong Film Review Network, and on Penguin Video, it has set a record for the number of comments and comments per day.
Li Yi was really surprised, because "The Last Transfer of Datang Mobei", if purely based on the video itself, to be honest, it can only be said that it is not bad.
Especially for people who don't understand that period of history, watching this video, which may be the last white-haired soldiers in the city, will be very contagious.
Therefore, in Li Yi's opinion, if this short film wants to become popular, it should take a period of time to ferment and allow the audience to understand this period of history and know this period of history, and then it will become popular.
But unfortunately, it became popular in such a short period of time, and the Internet is full of spontaneous reposts and recommendations from netizens.
However, Li Yi soon found the "suspicious" answer from the comments.
"I came over from "The Last Battle" and it really didn't disappoint me. I just wonder why the bank's commercials look like blockbusters, but the blockbusters are not even as good as commercials?"
"Recommended by disappointed fans of "The Last Battle", "The Last Transfer of Datang Mobei" has the same final lonely battle. I burst into tears watching both, but the mood was very different. You know what I mean? ?”
"I understand, "The Last Battle" sheds tears of sadness for the future of Chinese science fiction movies, "The Last Transfer of Money in the Tang Mobei" is the true story of guarding the last glory of the Tang Dynasty, from a boy to a city full of gray hair. The heroes of the Tang Dynasty burst into tears!"
Li Yi flipped through a lot of comments like this.
To be honest, Li Yi said he was taking a gamble before. In fact, to a certain extent, he also meant to ride on the popularity. After all, no matter whether "The Last Battle" succeeds or fails, the popularity will still exist.
But he guessed the beginning, but not the ending.
He has not watched "The Last Battle", but he was still shocked when he saw the ratings of this movie on the popular film review website and the negative reviews there.
3.8 points!
Good guy, is this really a big deal?
What surprised Li Yi was that in the comment area under "The Last Battle", many people actually mentioned "The Last Transfer of Datang Mobei".
Li Yi didn't know if it was done by Penguin Video or Huaguo UnionPay, but it was obvious that the publicity effect was very good.
For example, one post read: "The director of "The Last Battle" is heroic, the actors are handsome, and the publicity is domineering. The result was that I was stunned. We in "The Last Transfer of Tang Dynasty Mobei" The weapons used by the isolated and helpless soldiers of the Tang Dynasty who have been guarding Xizhou for more than forty years are actually more advanced than the weapons used by the soldiers of the super-technological era a thousand years later in "The Last Battle"!"
This post also interestingly posted two photos from "The Last Transfer in Mobei of the Tang Dynasty". One is Lu Shishi holding the Tang Dynasty horizontal sword, and the other is Guo Yuanzheng's cavalry with a spear across his chest!
At the same time, stills of the warriors in "The Last Battle" fighting alien robots with fire axes were also posted.
Not to mention other netizens, even Li Yi squirted out a mouthful of water.
What the hell? Isn't it a science fiction movie? Fire ax?
Li Yi was a little confused. Is this true or was it a prank by netizens?
Then, he saw the message at the bottom.
"Owner, you have completely ignored that the fire ax is most likely not an ordinary fire ax!"
"Yes, that fire ax is really not an ordinary fire ax, but a fire ax full of modern technology!"
"So, is that fire ax the king of fire axes?"
"what is that?"
"It's still a fire axe!"
Many netizens even started playing with it.
Seeing so many netizens complaining about "The Last Battle", to be honest, Li Yi was a little curious. What kind of movie is this that can make so many fans feel so resentful?
He checked the first-day box office of "The Last Battle" by the way.
The first-day box office was more than RMB 70 million!
It seems to be pretty good. Although Li Yi doesn't know if "The Last Battle" is said to have cost 300 million Chinese dollars to create, but simply judging from the intensity of the other party's publicity, the amount of publicity it has poured into it has been so far. Probably no less than 100 million.
So this kind of first-day box office is indeed not outstanding, but it is passable.
Just with this kind of reputation, "The Last Battle" is probably going to be really bad.
Li Yi finally understood why "The Last Transfer of Datang Mobei" became popular so quickly.
It can be said that although "The Last Battle" is a foregone conclusion, the publicity and exposure it has received before has made this movie, even if it is a flop, still the focus of countless people.
And "The Last Battle" was terrible, so the deliberately related "The Last Transfer of Datang Mobei" became the successor to the previous publicity effect of "The Last Battle".
As it happens, the latter received rave reviews, so fans needed to find an outlet to vent their dissatisfaction with "The Last Battle", so "The Last Transfer of Datang Mobei" became the sequel to "The Last Battle" The best vehicle for movie fans to find solace.
There is no harm without comparison, and it can be said that it is vividly reflected here.
But the box office trend of "The Last Battle" still exceeded everyone's expectations, including Li Yi.
Because the box office trend of "The Last Battle" in the following days can be described as a rapid decline.
On the second day after its release, the box office dropped by more than 60% to only around 20 million. Subsequently, it dropped by 60% every day.
A week after its release, the daily box office of "The Last Battle" has dropped to only a million dollars, which can be said to have set a record for a Chinese movie box office decline.
On the other hand, "The Last Transfer in Tang Dynasty Mobei" has accumulated views one week after its release. Although it is not as good as the original momentum of "Transaction", it still reached more than 30 million views.
Although it is not particularly outrageous or exaggerated, this is also the reason why it and "The Last Transfer of Datang Mobei" were also broadcast on several satellite TV stations at the same time.
However, even with such an achievement, it can still be said that it stands out from the rest.
Countless netizens also left messages below, hoping that Li Yi could make "Datang" into a real big movie.
In fact, Mu Nanxin and Fang Dongbai from Fanhai Film and Television were very moved by this, but Li Yi was self-aware.
He was so exhausted from filming "The Last Transfer in Mobei of the Tang Dynasty", and this was still based on the original work as a reference.
Let him expand and make it into a real theater blockbuster. Li Yi really has no confidence at all. At least at this stage, he has positioned himself not as a talented director, but that he has always felt that he In fact, he is just a tool man who has no feelings!
