Chapter 324 Old men hate getting married

WeChat invested real money here, but did not ask for any exchange of benefits. Lint Wood made a special trip to Yan Fuguang's home to express his gratitude to Ji Yingzhou in person.

But Ji Yingzhou didn't care whether Warner acknowledged his love or not.

Originally, he was supporting his girlfriend in his own name, and the money has already been transferred to the branch's account. No matter how much the platform subsidizes, he will bear it.

However, the money eventually returned to Ji Yingzhou intact.

Because the new users and paying members of the ticket purchasing platform can completely cover the cost of this ticket replacement, their person in charge is eager to pay the boss to do another "advertisement".

Since the direct subsidy is not spent, employees can be invited to watch movies directly.

During the release of "Edge of the World", all employees of Lightyear Technology can redeem movie tickets for any show on the ticketing platform.

The remaining unused money was exchanged for movie tickets and given to members of various apps owned by Lightyear through lottery. For a time, movie tickets were posted on WeChat Moments and Weibo.

It's early July, and the superhero movie "Guardians 3" is officially released.

Four years ago, "Guardians 2" had a global box office of US$760 million. Although it was not among the top grossing superhero movies, it still made the film studio a net profit of US$110 million.

The third film is the final chapter of the Guardians series, and the box office must exceed US$1 billion to meet the expectations of the film studio.

July 13th is getting closer and closer, the publicity work is basically over, and Yan Fuguang has a short free time.

She was thinking about becoming an ordinary audience member?

I just happened to go to the cinema to see the main antagonist in the early stages of "Edge of the World".

Yan Fuguang has never paid attention to this type of film. Her life is superhuman enough, and the imagination of these screenwriters is probably not as exciting as her real life.

But I have nothing to do, just to experience how much ordinary Western audiences love superheroes.

She just wanted to experience a date with Ji Yingzhou as an ordinary person, but her first date trip failed.

"Are you leaving?"

"Um."

Ji Yingzhou put down the phone, held Yan Fuguang in his arms, and buried his head in her hair.

"There's something to take care of."

The voice was muffled and cold, and it sounded different from usual.

Yan helped Guang turn around, but Ji Yingzhou's arm was so strong that she couldn't turn around for a while.

"What happened?" Yan Fuguang raised his hand on his waist and held his fingers together.

"There was something wrong with the investigation back then. I have to go back and take a look."

What happened back then...

The two have known each other for a long time, and although Ji Yingzhou did not say it in detail, Yan Fuguang also knew that his parents' accident that year seemed to have a hidden meaning.

Including his hostility towards Holy Trinity and his strange behavior every time he mentioned the Kaufmans.

Since there are lives involved, things will definitely not be simple.

"Is there any danger?"

Ji Yingzhou shook his head: "No."

"How can I help?"

Ji Yingzhou smiled, hugged her and turned around.

"Don't worry, I can solve it, don't worry." Ji Yingzhou kissed her, "I just feel sorry. I was celebrating your birthday with you."

"What's the matter? It's not an important day."

"Why doesn't it matter?"

Ji Yingzhou kissed again, put his hands together, and the two of them got closer.

"I am too young to be afraid that my uncle and aunt will not want to marry my daughter to me."

Yan Fuguang couldn't help laughing. No wonder he missed his birthday every year.

"It turns out that old man hates getting married!"

"Yes, I hate getting married. The old man wants to get married tomorrow!"

Ji Yingzhou came and went in a hurry.

A few days after he left, "Guardians 3" hit theaters around the world.

It is worthy of being a superhero series, and it did a great job at the box office on its first day of release. It grossed a total of US$66.26 million on its first day in 4,347 theaters in North America, easily winning the first-day box office championship.

On the second day, another $51.1 million was collected. This drop was a bit abnormal and a bit large.

The third day was even bigger. The North American box office was only 29.68 million US dollars, almost halved.

The box office trend of Huaguo was similar. On the first day, it surprisingly exceeded the 100 million yuan mark, and the total box office reached 128 million yuan.

As long as the plot of such a Hollywood commercial blockbuster is decent, it will basically not fall too much the next day, and may even see a small increase.

But "Guardians 3" failed to hold on, and the combined box office in the next two days was only 136 million, which was shocking.

With such an unhealthy decline, it basically indicates that the box office of "Guardians 3" will be difficult to exceed expectations.

Yan Fuguang still went to the cinema to watch it, together with Zhang Yuanyuan.

After just half an hour, she lost interest. Zhang Yuanyuan persisted, but the first thing she said after the movie ended was "fancy."

Very relevant and really fancy.

Probably because this is the final chapter, the creative team crammed a lot of things they wanted to express into it. Although it barely makes sense logically, it really feels dizzying.

There is so much content that it is easy for the audience to lose track of priorities. One key point will come up at a time, and it will be bombarded continuously for more than two hours. After watching the movie, I really feel like I am full.

"No wonder the box office is not ideal. Watching a movie is more tiring than taking a politics class!"

Zhang Yuanyuan complained mercilessly, showing her disgust.

This is being polite, it is not an exaggeration to simply say that it is smelly and long.

Movies with excellent special effects can easily make people dizzy. "Guardians 3" crammed in so much content on top of the special effects. The audience had to sit for more than 130 minutes, and many people may have had pain in their tail vertebrae.

"That's it for this movie. Except for the die-hard fans, it can fool the audience in the first two days, but it's basically impossible to have any staying power."

Although she came here with the intention of exploring the enemy's situation, Zhang Yuanyuan could understand the mentality of ordinary viewers, who must have felt that spending money paid for their suffering.

Although the movie ticket only costs a few dozen yuan, but you spend money and don’t enjoy it, the audience will definitely not show mercy when they complain.

The trend of netizens’ comments is also consistent with Zhang Yuanyuan’s statement.

[My butt hurts from sitting just looking at this. If I can get a refund, I will!]

[I just don’t understand. If you can’t finish the story, why don’t you just keep making the fourth one? Why do you have to cram everything into one movie??]

[I feel like I have indigestion...]

[Superhero movies are getting worse and worse, what the hell is this!]

[If I want to tell a good story, it’s okay for me to spend money to enjoy the special effects, but I don’t spend money to eat pig food, and the point of making a movie is not to eat too much and eat too much!]

Eastern and Western audiences have similar complaints, and because the movie-watching base is so large, it is impossible to control the reviews.

In the first two days, it was able to maintain a little bit of reputation, but as a large number of viewers who had purchased tickets participated in the evaluation, the collapse of word-of-mouth was inevitable.
Chapter completed!
