Chapter 449: Chapter 443 Box Office

Translator: 549690339

For directors, the camera serves as the tool they use to tell their stories; however, this film completely lacks such camera work. Yet, thanks to the film’s astonishing special effects, sound plotline, and talented screenplay writer, despite its dire cinematography, the film as a whole is considered a fine piece of work to the viewers.

Dammit, that said, this is just a video game clip produced by a bunch of game players, for Christ’s sake! How are these professional directors from Floral Village going to live with this?!

The directors and producers consider these aspects, but those film critics have totally different thoughts! You can say those critics are the most astounded! Only a few critics had high hopes for this movie, but since HQ invited them, they naturally came to review it out of courtesy. Besides, many critics probably went to other theaters to see it that evening.

However, for these professional critics, this film is not easy to evaluate! The plot? Flawless! Even these critics are impressed! But what frustrates them most is that they can’t find issues in the plot, because they’re unfamiliar with the background story and so they don’t have the right to comment.

This is one point. The second point is the compelling backstory, which was perfected by Olivia Thatcher. With her substantial skills, Olivia Thatcher has ensured that not a single inconsistency can be found.

Remaining is the special effects. On this point, there is nothing to nitpick about. Dammit, didn’t you see those directors and producers were stunned? Their reactions can be predicted by these critics.

As for the last point – cinematography, yes, there is room for criticism. But do you dare to criticize? Dammit, they mentioned during the film’s promotion that this film was not professionally directed or even had any directorial input. It’s made by a group of game players, without the help of any industry insiders! Do you dare criticize their cinematography? If you zoom in on this point, you’ll be ripped apart by other critics and the media.

Overall, this is a film completely beyond their expectations! Yet they know one thing: perhaps the total box office won’t be just 10 million Federal coin as they thought. If it hadn’t been for the disclosure from HQ saying that the film was shot by a group of gamers instead of claiming it was made by a Floral Village company or HQ itself, seriously, no one would have noticed. At most, critics might have had doubts about the directorial techniques.

The premiere ended, but the controversy has just started. Those critics may post their reviews on newspapers and other media, but many will share their reviews on websites, like Time Network of North Federation and Rotten Tomato Network, where reviews are updated instantly.

Interestingly, after the premiere, the rating for “Seven Nights” on the North Federation website once reached 9.2. Despite the small number of reviews, this rating shocked many people who had been following the film! You should know that high ratings on IMDb aren’t supposed to be manipulated! Thus, the rating could be considered a genuine evaluation from the audience.

“… I don’t know what to say. Before this film was released, I believe many people didn’t see it as a film, but mere comical game footage. However, after tonight, I am convinced that all the media in North Federation will feel embarrassed tomorrow! Because it’s not only a game video, but also a fantastic film! I don’t understand professional cinematography, since I’m just an ordinary viewer. But there’s no denying that from this film, I saw stunning special effects everywhere, a realistic world, a world as genuine as Avatar.”

At first, there were just comments from ordinary movie fans. As time passed quickly, many reviews from professional critics began to spread. Rocky Locke, a columnist from Floral Village Daily, wrote on his micro-research account: “I think we misjudged a film we initially had little hope for, like many dark horse films in the past, we underestimated it, but now it has taught us a lesson through its quality.”

“I have to say, this movie was a pleasant surprise. But one thing to note, don’t judge its use of camera angles from a professional director’s perspective because it’s not shot by a professional director. In fact, it’s not shot by anyone in the industry. But surprisingly, despite the simple camera work, it successfully tells us an excellent story, and presents a unique and beautiful world, a fantasy world.”

With many critics commenting, even though many people didn’t go to the midnight show, still those reviews have significantly influenced the public. On the day of the premiere, it was a Friday. The next day, Saturday, was the first weekend. But it was a good thing that thanks to the positive word of mouth from the first day, the number of viewers for the film skyrocketed on the second day of the weekend.

Although it can’t be compared to blockbuster films from Floral Village, the per-theater box office sale on the second day was an astonishing 15,000 Federal coin. Over the span of Saturday, “Seven Nights” took a terrifying 37 million in box office sales in North Federation. Of course, this number can’t be considered as promising, especially as it was showing in 2,600 theaters across North Federation.

Take note that the summer release “Transformers 4” took an amazing 39 million Federal coin on its premiere day in Flame Nation! On the North Federation box office ranking, “Twilight: Breaking Dawn (Part 1)” broke records with a terrifying 91.1 million Federal coin on its first day! So the box office sales are not impressive, but unlike other films, it didn’t hit a peak on the first day.

However, “Seven Nights”‘s poor initial reviews led to a late surge, thus causing a rare uptrend in box office sales. On the last day of the first weekend, “Seven Nights” bagged a very high per-theater box office sale of 25,000 Federal coin. On this day, the film brought in an appalling 65 million Federal coin! It means that over the first three days of the weekend, its box office sales had broken 100 million, reaching a terrifying 110 million Federal coin. This is only the box office in North Federation.
