[March 7th: Great! Great! Great!]
[Bai Lu: I agree.]
[Ying: OK!]
Kiana: I'm betting with Alicia too.
[Xia Yu: ???]
[Xia Yu: So you're saying I have to pay to show you the game no matter what, right?]
[Xia Yu: A group of bad women.]
Alicia: Hehe.
[Xia Yu: Booking the whole theater isn't a problem, what are you planning to see?]
Alicia lay on the soft, fragrant bed.
Two snow-white jade feet swayed back and forth in the air.
A smile quickly appeared on her exquisitely beautiful face.
Alicia: How about we go watch "The Devil's Fortress," the movie you mentioned to Bronya before?
Alicia: I heard it won't be released for another six months.
Alicia: By then, the results for "Your Name" should already be in.
[Xia Yu: What the heck?]
[Xia Yu: Shanghai Fortress?]
[Xia Yu: Which Shanghai fortress is it?]
Could it be the king of bad movies I'm imagining?

The late-night snack time is over.
Xia Yu felt a sense of refreshment.
Carrying Xi'er, whose face was flushed, I took her to the bathroom to wash the dirt off her little feet.
Only then did they take her back to her room.
after awhile.
Waiting for Xia Yu to return to the group chat.
And then I saw the movie title that Alicia posted inside.
His eyes widened involuntarily.
[Xia Yu: Shanghai Fortress?]
[Xia Yu: Which Shanghai fortress is it?]
Could it be the king of bad movies I'm imagining?
His heart skipped a beat.
There is an ominous feeling.
Alicia: ?
Alicia: What else could it be?
[Alicia: It's the movie trailer you watched with Bronya in the living room the month before last.]
[Alice: They say this is a 'shining example of domestic technology,' 'six years in the making,' 'a total investment of nearly 4 million,' and 'leading Chinese science fiction to the world stage,' and so on.]
[Alicia: Didn't you and Bronya insist on going to the cinema to see it? You were so excited, like little kids, that you couldn't sleep.]
If we were to describe the expression on Xia Yu's face at this moment...
That must be similar to the meme of an elderly person looking at their phone on the subway.
He pondered the memories of the Shanghai Fortress in his mind.
His expression quickly stiffened.
Shanghai Fortress.
This film is adapted from the novel of the same name.
It was touted as a product six years in the making before its release.
The special effects are comparable to those of "The Wandering Earth".
A science fiction film produced with a budget of 3.6 million.
With its plot riddled with holes and illogical twists.
Awkward acting.
The emotional scenes were forced.
The voice acting doesn't match the lip movements at all.
A fair-skinned, handsome young man with long hair.
The main storyline is driven entirely by narration.
This successfully caused the film to suffer a major setback on its opening day.
It received a Tao Piaopiao rating of 5.8.
The longan received a score of 5.4.
Meanwhile, 140,000 people gave Doupang a high score of 3.2.
The fact that it beat 0% of romance films and 0% of science fiction films is even more remarkable.
And the subsequent number of screenings.
It also dropped directly from 33% on the first day to 7% on the second day.
finally.
This work is hailed as the 'light of future science fiction'.
With a box office of 7500 million on its opening day.
The box office reached 2000 million on the second day.
The box office suffered a devastating blow on the third day when the film was removed from theaters by multiple cinemas.
Ultimately, it achieved a revenue of less than 1.4 million in one month.
They lost everything on their 3.6 million yuan investment.
of course.
This work is not without its merits.
To be honest, just considering the special effects...
The movie "The Fortress of Shanghai" (230) is placed among all the movies that have been released in China.
The special effects are top-notch.
It would get a passing grade even on an international scale.
Unfortunately, the actors and the script were terrible.
Even a god couldn't save them.
……
[Alicia: Xia Yu? What's wrong? Why aren't you saying anything?]
[Bai Lu: Boss, is there a problem with this movie?]
Xia Yu: I think I was such an idiot for having such high expectations for this film.
Bronya: ???
Alicia: ?
Kiana: ?
【star:?】
[Bai Lu: Huh?]
[Ying: Why?]
Theresa: That's not what you said when you recommended it to me before.
[Padophilia: No, no, don't be so mad at yourself, boss.]
[Bronya: So what happened? Didn't you say you were really looking forward to this movie?]
[Rita: Does the boss perhaps have some inside information or something?]
All the girls were incredibly curious.
