Chapter 240 You Have to Compensate Me with a Pair of Eyes that Have Never Watched "Titanic 2"!
Xiao Liu Movie Studio.
As usual, Liu Bi and his colleagues searched for movies with the potential to be made into hit videos in different corners of various online platforms.
Not only domestic movies and TV series, but also foreign blockbusters or bad movies.
"I feel that there are no new movies to complain about recently. The video data has declined a bit." Liu Bi looked at the computer and picked his teeth with a toothpick. He said the bad news, but his expression was relatively relaxed.
Last month, they took a sum of money from Kui Guang and Yue Fu respectively, and exceeded the KPI. The pressure this month is not too great.
Moreover, the video of the movie "Black Robe Inspection Team" itself is popular enough, and major platforms and advertising sponsors have given a lot of money.
Even if they don't get a single order this month, they won't have to eat.
If it were in the past, several people would have started crying for their parents.
"The last time I did a suspense film commentary, the playback was not very good. Who would have known that the film would end badly... I really can't do TV series that are not finished in the future. Who knows if it will start high and end low?"
"I'm watching this newly released movie at 2x speed. The reviews are bad and mediocre. If it can be as bad as "Fortress of Devil City", there will be no worries about the playback volume."
"It's like this. It's not easy to find a bad movie that is original these days."
"It would be nice to make a good movie like "The Black Robe Inspection Team"..."
"Don't dream. This kind of movie may not be made for several years or even decades. We are lucky to be able to catch the limelight and make some money... Look at other up masters. I heard that they have started to receive court summons."
"Hey, stop talking for now. Come and watch this movie. I think it can be made into a video."
When Liu Bi and his friends heard that there was money to be made, they were no longer sleepy. They immediately gathered around and looked at the screen curiously.
On a promotional poster that looked a bit old, there were a few big words written on it: "Titanic 2".
The movie poster shows a large ship rolling in the wind and waves. It is pitch black around, the sky is covered with dark clouds, and lightning flashes across the sky, illuminating the hull very clearly.
The leading actors who occupy the most prominent position on the poster are all terrified and panicked.
It looks like a very ordinary and normal movie poster, but the three people present all sensed a hint of something unusual from it.
"Isn't this background a bit too rough?"
"Why don't I know any of these leading actors?"
"Titanic 2, what a big tone, but why haven't I heard about this movie being released in theaters? Am I ignorant?"
In theory, a normal movie will be released on major online platforms after it is released in theaters and the box office has made almost enough money.
"Titanic 2", the name sounds great... but why have the critics who almost never miss any movie or TV series never heard of this name?
Liu Bi wondered and looked at the release date of the movie.
The time displayed above was actually three days ago!
"What the hell? This is really a recent release?!" The well-informed Liu Bi was also surprised, "Hurry up and check the movie details page to see which movie company's masterpiece it is."
Turn to the details page, carefully look at the production company and production team, Liu Bi and others finally confirmed that this is a strange movie made by an unknown small company, an unknown director, and a few unknown actors.
Such a strange lineup dares to have such a big name?
"Shelter Company? What the hell, I have never heard of it... I will go to Tianyan to check the equity structure of this company."
Liu Bi turned on his mobile phone and checked the equity structure of the Shelter Company.
The column of the largest shareholder with the largest shareholding was clearly written with the words "Kuiguang Entertainment Media Co., Ltd."
With a full 51% stake, it can be said that he is the actual controller of the company.
"Fuck, it's actually a branch of Kuiguang Group?" Liu Bi immediately expressed his understanding of the film's no-name production team, "But why is this film not promoted and not released in theaters?"
Kuiguang Group itself is a new enterprise. The actors used in the filming of "Black Robe Inspection Team" are all 18th-tier actors. Except for the director team who are somewhat famous, the others are basically in a state of being unknown in the entertainment industry.
Now, when making a new movie, it seems that there is no big logical problem to replace the director with an unknown person.
Liu Bi opened the movie solemnly with a mentality of watching an art film, and said while clicking: "Kuiguang Group must have their reasons for doing this. It's not too late for us to watch this movie before we draw a conclusion."
Gold and silver cups are not as good as the audience's reputation. In the eyes of the public, anything produced by Kuiguang represents a fine product.
The other people also nodded seriously, and even clicked on the memo, intending to take notes while watching.
In order to make their reviews as "hardcore and objective" as possible, film review UP hosts like them will not skip watching the movies and TV series they want to review, so as not to miss some important information and be embarrassed by the audience who have watched them carefully.
But for the efficiency of video production, they usually play these movies and TV series at double speed.
And this time, seeing that the producer was Kuiguang Group, several people unanimously decided not to use double speed and watch every detail of the movie carefully.
After a dozen seconds of credits, the official content of the movie appeared on the screen.
Floating in the water with extremely rough texture is a large cruise ship with extremely rough modeling. On the deck of the cruise ship, the male protagonist is waving his hands to say goodbye to his family.
Just from such a small fragment, Liu Bi and others had already noticed something was wrong.
Liu Bi patted his colleague on the shoulder and asked strangely: "Did you forget to adjust the image quality? Why does it feel a bit blurry to me when I look at it?"
"No, the default is the highest quality!"
"I feel that this may be the Kuangguang Group trying a new shooting technique. Maybe they want to use this blurry image quality to express some deeper inner emotions."
"I think so too. With the technical capabilities of Kuaiguang Group, it is definitely impossible to create such a retro picture..."
"It's possible, write it down first."
A few people finished thinking and then looked down.
At the same time, a lot of barrages floated over on the screen.
"Congratulations on discovering the treasure of the town station!"
"I finished watching this movie yesterday, and I felt uncomfortable all night. I didn't watch it all day today, and I felt uncomfortable all day long."
"Come here because of its reputation!"
"To tell you a ghost story, this movie was made by the same company as "Black Robe Inspectors"."
"Damn it, this picture quality, what year is it today?"
"..."
Liu Bi looked at these barrages, and the feeling that something was wrong that had been lingering in his heart became more intense - as the up owner of the film review area, he has a high degree of understanding of the current hot memes and the strange and strange abilities of netizens.
These barrage contents seem to be compliments or neutral complaints, but if you take a closer look, you feel that it is not the case.
Two other colleagues who were watching the movie suddenly couldn't help but frown: "In order to commemorate the first anniversary of the Titanic's accident, the cruise ship was specifically renamed Titanic 2?"
"The name of this ship is Titanic 2?!"
No, there are too many shortcomings!
Would anyone really name their boat this way? There is nothing wrong with commemorating the 100th anniversary of the shipwreck and commemorating it, but it seems a bit too magical to go to sea with the same name.
"Is there a deep meaning in this name?"
Liu Bi suppressed the doubts in his heart and watched the movie more seriously.
The plot of this movie is very simple. The protagonist of the movie built Titanic 2, but in order to sail on time on the 100th anniversary, the ship launched its maiden voyage without any inspection.
The heroine on the ship received a phone call at the same time. Her father warned her that there were melting icebergs on the ship's route and asked her not to go.
The heroine said confidently: "It's okay, our boat is strong."
Seeing this, Liu Bi finally couldn't help the emotions in his heart, and he opened his mouth to complain: "God, the boat is strong! Could it be that someone told you that your house had an earthquake, can you still say that my building is strong? What kind of logic is this?!"
Why do you feel that the IQ of the characters in the movie is not on the same level as that of normal humans?
Now Liu Bi and the others no longer even have the illusion of hypnotizing themselves - this is a big bad movie!
With such a cliché and such a crappy development, you can guess what will happen in the next plot.
Sure enough, not long after, Titanic 2 lived up to expectations and hit an iceberg. The hull leaked and it was about to sink.
Perhaps because the crew really couldn't come up with any special effects of ship damage, they simply created a scene where a lot of pots, pans, tables, chairs and benches were flying everywhere in the cabin...
The intensity was as intense as a young couple having a fight at home.
Liu Bi could see that the crew, which was severely underfunded, wanted to work hard to bring out the tragic atmosphere, but moviegoers could only feel a sense of absurd comedy in these scenes.
I don’t know why, but I don’t feel a sense of urgency when I see the protagonist and heroine panicking and trying to save herself on the broken ship. Instead, I feel like laughing.
Judging from the feedback from the barrage, this kind of funny reaction is a common situation.
"Hahahaha! I laughed like a pig!"
"???"
"No, the ship is half sunk. Why is there not a drop of water in the cabin?"
"Maybe the water got into the director's head."
"Holy crap, I didn't expect that the elevator on this ship can still be used."
"If nothing else, as a comedy film it is absolutely qualified, 233!"
"..."
As the movie continues, the cruise ship is already half submerged.
The hero and heroine once again lived up to expectations. Amidst a lot of bloody coincidences, they missed several important escape opportunities and were trapped at the bottom of the cruise ship by the cold water.
Seeing that the seawater is about to cover your mouth and nose!
The two rummaged through boxes and cabinets, found a diving suit, and hurriedly put it on for the heroine.
Seeing that the male protagonist was extremely cold, the heroine quickly said, "I'll let you wear the diving suit for a while!"
The male protagonist immediately refused and said: "No, take off your diving suit for me now. I will drown before freezing to death."
The heroine added: "It's okay. The oxygen bottle in the diving suit has enough oxygen. We take turns breathing oxygen. You can't drown!"
The male protagonist flatly refused again: "No, I will freeze to death before I drown!"
Liu Bi has been watching movies for so many years and has watched countless bad and bad movies, but when faced with this plot, he was still stunned and couldn't close his jaw.
No, as the protagonist, is it really appropriate to have such a low desire to survive? ?
The key is that a closed-loop logic is really pulled out!
At this so-called climax of the movie, the density of the barrage has been completely full, and all the audience are either complaining or laughing.
It is a wonder that a disaster movie can produce such an effect.
Finally, at the end of the movie, the heroine actually watched the hero drown in the cabin with her own eyes. During this period, she kept cheering for the hero and encouraging him, but she didn't give him even a breath of oxygen.
Seeing the hero drowned, Liu Bi and the other two finally couldn't help laughing collectively.
The barrage was also full of laughter.
"I will recommend this movie to my girlfriend tomorrow!"
"I burst out laughing after watching this movie."
"To commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Titanic's silence, you will just sink another one to commemorate it, right?"
"To be honest, this movie is bad, but it is very creative and interesting to watch."
"Ahhh, director, compensate me with a pair of eyes that have never seen this movie!"
"By the way, have you listened to the ending song of this movie? It's unexpectedly good. It can be said to be the only advantage of this movie."
"So weird, I'll watch it again..."
After all, as a professional film critic, Liu Bi is different from the audience. He quickly grasped the unusualness of this movie.
Although it is a bad movie, they actually watched the whole movie at one time speed and patiently watched it without any boring moments.
From time to time, they even laughed out loud at the hard acting of the leading actors.
When a movie is destined to fail to reach the upper limit of the same theme, perhaps it can go the other way and try to challenge the bottom line...
From the score of "Titanic 2" breaking the 3.0 mark, it is definitely a bad movie.
But from the various viewing data, its popularity is not low.
"I seem to understand why Kuiguang Group wants to invest in this movie..." Liu Bi nodded, "I feel that this movie will definitely be a big hit after the commentary is done."
"Okay, Brother Bi, then which series should we put this movie in? Is it a good movie recommendation or a bad movie complaint?"
Liu Bi was a little embarrassed for a while.
Put this movie in the good movie recommendation? Although this movie looks funny, just like its score, it is definitely not a good movie.
Put a bad movie complaint?
This is fundamentally different from the traditional disgusting bad movies...
Liu Bi thought for several minutes and suddenly slammed the table: "How about this, we open a new series, called the Funny Zone?"
"It seems that the Kuiguang Group has not given much attention to "Titanic 2". We will help promote it and take advantage of it to enrich our columns, show goodwill to the Kuiguang Group and expand the breadth of our videos, killing two birds with one stone!"
Since the last pleasant cooperation with the Kuiguang Group, they still have a good impression of this entertainment company with a good reputation.
"Indeed, this bad movie was released silently, which is a pity... With a little publicity, it will definitely be a big hit!" (End of this chapter)
