They are all too deep into the drama!

Chapter 640: Seeking resources, good people will have a peaceful life...

On the big screen, Huo Mingjie's handsome and perfect face appeared.

He is dressed in a suit and looks well-mannered. He is very attractive at first sight and has the elegance of a social elite.

Then the camera turned and showed the hostages being held hostage in the bank, the bank safe being violently broken open, and gold banknotes scattered all over the floor...

"Chen" played by Huo Mingjie put on a mask and transformed himself into a robber!

He commanded his men to rob banks and play tricks on policemen. He apologized to the old lady who was having her birthday today and released her early.

After doing these things, he was able to lead the team out of the situation calmly.

Everything is done smoothly, and with the well-edited shots and background music, it feels very artistic...

Just a few minutes of footage at the beginning of the movie portrays a gentle, polite, charming and good "bandit"!
The beginning of the movie "The Thieves" has a tight rhythm and perfect camera scheduling. It demonstrates the abilities of several core members of the thieves' team in the shortest time, establishes their character images, and increases the audience's expectations.

The subsequent plot includes police and bandits, car racing, gunfights, undercover agents, revenge, and treasure theft...

Various popcorn elements make up this movie.

Movie depth?

Not much, just for fun!
If this was simply a domestic commercial film, the reviews would definitely not be very good.

But this is a Korean movie, so it’s obviously different. There aren’t many critical voices.

The film was released simultaneously in East Asia and achieved impressive box office results.

In South Korea, the film attracted 2.9 million viewers in the first week, directly breaking the first-week movie box office record in South Korea.

In the Land of Sakura, many people came to watch the movie because it was starring Huo Dian, and the box office directly exceeded 100 million yuan.

In China, "Let the Bullets Fly", "The Flowers of War" and "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" have just been withdrawn from the schedule, and "The Thieves" has just been released, avoiding a head-on competition with these three films.

Thanks to the fact that there was no other comparable film in the same period, its box office in the first week was even better than that in South Korea, with a box office of over 180 million.

At this time two years ago, everyone was still thinking about the "100 million box office club". But now Huo Mingjie's new movie is out, and it's almost over 200 million in just one week.

This is also due to the rapid development of the domestic film market. The box office of movies has become more and more exaggerated. In the next year, even movies with a box office of over 1 billion will be released...

Although the box office of "Thieves Alliance" in mainland China is unlikely to exceed 1 billion this time, the box office of the three East Asian countries combined is still a sure bet of 2 billion!
In fact, judging from the movie itself, the quality is average, a pure popcorn commercial movie. Just from the score of 7 on Douban, it can be seen that.

For Huo Mingjie's haters, this movie is actually easier to "criticize" than his previous films "The Beauty Inside", "Searching", and "Inception"!
But before the black fans could find the mistakes in the movie and write critical reviews, they discovered that even the official six princesses helped to support it.

Huo Mingjie originally had a lot of fans and was very popular with passers-by, with many passers-by fans online.

For a movie of decent quality, there are actually not many people who accept reviews that deliberately take things out of context and nitpick to discredit it.

Only certain media outlets are willing to deliberately quote these film reviews that may cause controversy among fans in order to gain views.

But now that "The Thieves" has received official support, it is difficult for ordinary media to quote these critical reviews!

As a result, the haters who always pop up every time Huo Mingjie's new movie is released did not make any noise this time... After all, the so-called China-Brazil co-production has actually been done a few times over the years. But it must be said that "The Thieves" is the most successful one.

Moreover, Huo Mingjie is the absolute first star of this Sino-Korean co-production. Therefore, unless the subject matter is really inappropriate, it will definitely be regarded as a political achievement and a benchmark for vigorous publicity!

It just so happened that when this movie was being filmed, in order to comply with domestic censorship, the movie's ending was released in a special domestic version where the protagonist surrendered himself...

With official support, the film's publicity efforts have clearly reached a new level.

And on the Internet, the topic naturally soared in popularity!
"Tsk, Huo Mingjie's looks and acting skills are so amazing, I'm not jealous of him making money from filming."

"Many people said before that Huo Mingjie's salary was too high, and that he was already on the same level as Cheng Long and Li Lianjie. But when you think about it, Huo Mingjie seems to be worthy of this level of salary, except that he is a little younger!"

"So handsome, Huo Mingjie is so charming even when he plays a villain. The last time someone gave me this feeling was Wu Yanzu in New Police Story."

"Well, he's not really a villain, actually."

"By the way, have you ever seen the film 'The Legend of Chu Liuxiang' that Huo Mingjie filmed back then? Are these two characters a bit similar?"

"Wow, a modern version of a handsome thief!"

“In fact, these two roles are quite different!”

"Did you notice when watching the movie that after Huo Mingjie let go the old lady who was celebrating her birthday, he glanced at the hostages who had become quiet and obedient in the bank... That slightly smug look in his eyes, that slightly upturned corner of his mouth, he let them go not because he respected the elderly and loved the young, but through this move, he deliberately let the other hostages relax their vigilance!"

"That's true. Now that you mentioned it, I remembered that I thought the protagonist's smile was a little strange..."

"I noticed that too. At that time, I realized that Huo Mingjie's role was not simple. Whether it was the hostages or the officials, they were all under his control."

"Oh my god, I didn't really think so much when I watched the movie. I just thought the character played by Huo Mingjie was pretty good..."

"It's a very enjoyable movie, with not many boring parts throughout. But I don't quite understand the ending. He obviously left with the diamonds, so why did he suddenly turn himself in?"

"Haha, those who understand will understand. This ending was all done to pass the review."

"Indeed, my classmates who studied abroad in Sakura Country also watched the movie and said that the ending in Sakura Country was not surrendering!"

“So, what about resource links?”

"Please give me the complete version..."

"We pray together, good people may live a safe life."

"Don't beg me. The movie has only been out for a week. Let Huo Mingjie make some money!"

"No matter how high the box office of this movie is, it has nothing to do with Huo Mingjie."

"Ah, that's right. Huo Mingjie is getting paid for this film... Then, then I'll ask for resources too!"
