Seclusion in the Entertainment Industry

In early November, a much-anticipated foreign science fiction blockbuster was introduced to the country for release.

The movie is produced by the world-famous Haolaiwu film production base and is an interstellar disaster film.

Title: "Escape from the Mother Planet"!

It is said that hundreds of millions of dollars were invested in this film, directed by a world-renowned director, and starring numerous foreign film stars. It is one of the most anticipated films in the world this year.

Putting aside the quality of the films, the brand "Haolaiwu" is a holy place that many movie fans are fascinated by, because this film production base in Omerik has the most mature film production model and the most advanced film production in the world. Filming technology, the most famous directors and actors, and the largest number of outstanding film works.

“The products produced by Haolaiwu must be high-quality products!”

Although this sentence is not accurate, Haolaiwu also produces many bad movies every year, but overall, most of the movies they produce are high-quality, or at least qualified works.

And this newly introduced "Escape from the Mother Planet" is undoubtedly a masterpiece. It is not only expected by many domestic movie fans, it is even considered one of the strong contenders for the best work of the year in Haolaiwu.

When such a film is introduced into the country, it will inevitably set off a wave of movie-watching craze again.

…

Sure enough, after its release on November 7, "Escape" quickly began to break a series of movie box office records.

The single-day box office record just set by "Infernal Affairs" and the first-week box office record have all been broken one after another. It even created the longest-lasting single-day box office record of more than 200 million.

It has to be said that the ability of "Escape from the Mother Planet" to harvest the box office is really terrifying.

At the same time, people have realized that the original belief that the Chinese film market is developing rapidly, but will only explode after a certain stage of accumulation, is completely wrong.

Because now the Chinese film market itself is in an explosion stage, but it is just because there is a lack of good enough films to detonate the market.

"Infernal Affairs" caused a small-scale explosion, and this newly introduced foreign science fiction blockbuster completely detonated the entire Chinese film market.

It turns out that people’s movie-watching spending power is so terrifying!

Such a phenomenon,

While it made many filmmakers feel excited, they also felt very uncomfortable.

Because the trigger for this box office explosion was not a Chinese-language film, but an imported film.

Before the heated discussion caused by "Infernal Affairs" was over, this foreign science fiction blockbuster directly caused a bigger storm, directly defeating the box office performance of Chinese-language movies.

This is something that many people in the Chinese film industry do not want to see, but there is nothing anyone can do about it.

What makes people even more angry is that now on the Internet, many people have begun to crazily praise "Escape from the Mother Planet", a real science fiction blockbuster, and at the same time turn around and criticize domestic movies as useless.

Among them, the one that suffered the most was Beidou Entertainment's "Deep Space Trek"!

Because although they are both science fiction themes, "Deep Space Trek" is obviously very different from "Escape". Although many people thought that "Deep Space Trek" was also quite good-looking before, there is no harm without comparison. After watching "Escape", most of the fans who originally thought "Deep Space Trek" was good changed their minds.

Indeed, in terms of film quality, "Escape" is really much better than "Deep Space Trek", but in fact, "Deep Space Trek" also has its own characteristics. Even if it is not very good, it definitely should not be tolerated. The excessive abuse now makes Beidou Entertainment, Wu Hengjiang and the production team of "Deep Space Trek" very angry.

But there is nowhere to vent this anger.

Because in the final analysis, my own films are not as good as others’!

Just... very frustrating!

…

However, as movie fans and viewers, everyone is actually very naive, because there is only one standard, and that is whether the movie is good or not.

If they both look good, compare which one looks better.

The better-looking one will definitely become the object of pursuit by more people, which is human nature.

Therefore, after watching the movie, most people will express their opinions online, praising the better "Escape" and criticizing the not-so-good "Deep Space Trek" they have seen before. Of course, there will be no shortage of speeches.

At the same time, there are more extreme people who will passionately criticize Chinese science fiction movies for being deceitful. Foreign science fiction blockbusters are the real good movies, and thus criticize all Chinese movies. Those remarks can be as unpleasant as they sound. And it often gets the response of many people.

Slowly, many people have lost control!

"A self-deceiving soft science fiction film like "Deep Space Trek" actually has the honor to claim to be the first Chinese science fiction blockbuster. It is really embarrassing. Just look at "Escape", this is called science fiction , directors of Chinese-language films, if you don’t have a serious attitude and sufficient skills, can you please stop embarrassing yourself!"

"Go ahead and make those celebrity comedies of yours!"

"Haha, now think about it, a bad movie like "Deep Space Trek" can actually get more than 1 billion at the box office. It's a shame!"

"It's just that the domestic film market environment is too relaxed, which makes directors feel that they can make money by just making a film. From now on, let's all boycott bad films together!"

"...Well...I think "Deep Space Trek" is actually not too bad. It's just a different genre. Don't criticize it too much..."

"Haha, the fighting general is coming upstairs, come and watch!"

"It's really disgusting. There are still people licking it. I'm afraid they are either mentally retarded or blind."

"You scoundrels who are supporting "Deep Hole", please stop embarrassing yourself. To be honest, "Deep Space Trek" is not even worthy of supporting "Escape". You are really ignorant!"

…

Initially, there were many fans who supported "Deep Space Trek" on the Internet. After all, this movie is not really without merit. However, with the popularity of "Escape", more and more people began to criticize it. "Deep Space Trek" has made many people who originally liked it afraid to say anything anymore.

Recently, almost all social media and online forums have been discussing the gap between Chinese-language films and foreign science fiction blockbusters. Even some very rational and objective sites are very pessimistic that Chinese-language films may not be able to be produced in 30 to 50 years. Competing with those foreign blockbusters.

…

Many practitioners in the film industry have paid attention to this phenomenon. However, in the face of the cruel reality, no one has a reason to refute, because "Escape from the Mother Planet", an excellent foreign science fiction blockbuster, is there, and the gap is It does exist, and no one can deny this status quo.

People in the industry only feel a deep sense of powerlessness!
