Full-time actor

A tribute to the classics.

A tribute to Bruce Lee.

The biography of this famous kung fu superstar premiered in North America.

That's about Bruce Lee's life.

The moment of gradually reaching the peak.

The audience was quite expectant, and many of them had once admired Bruce Lee, so everyone looked at the big screen very seriously.

Especially Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger.

As kung fu superstars, they were not only very interested in the storyline about Bruce Lee, but also in Chen Yu himself.

"so cool!"

Stallone gasped in surprise.

This move is absolutely outrageous.

"Wow~~"

"This is simply the coolest action scene I've ever seen."

Praises could be heard from time to time; foreigners are never stingy with their compliments.

In their opinion, Chen Yu's performance in this film was absolutely brilliant.

Actually.

When Robert Shea watched the trailer, he knew that the Bruce Lee movie was definitely a masterpiece.

After all, Bruce Lee's life story is truly remarkable.

How could it not be exciting to be able to portray his entire life?
As for the box office performance in China, it directly validated his idea.

With a box office of $1 million in three days, even Hollywood's top stars probably couldn't achieve that.

This is the source of his confidence in inviting so many top-tier celebrities.

At that moment, the entire screening room was filled with gasps of amazement.

Everyone was completely captivated, especially by Chen Yu's action scenes, which left them utterly impressed.

Chen Yu and Liu Yifei have watched it countless times.

They weren't particularly moved by this. After hearing the cheers from those around them, they were actually more interested in the reactions of the media.

But at this moment, things should be stable.

This completely ignited the passion of the media professionals and kung fu stars present.

They were generally in their fifties or sixties, but when they saw the movie "Bruce Lee," they seemed to be transported back to their youthful exuberance.

This feeling made them extremely happy.

until--

As the film drew to a close, the entire theater was plunged into darkness.

clap clap clap!
A round of enthusiastic applause erupted, followed by cheers and applause.

This is definitely a great movie!

It may not be able to please everyone, but at least the audience in the theater today couldn't find any fault with it.

The action scenes, in particular, were incredibly exciting to watch.

Robert Shea noticed everyone's reaction, and he was incredibly excited.

Although it's only a 25% investment, if the box office is high enough, it will be easy to solve his current predicament.

This is Chen Yu!
We have the right timing, the right location, and the right people—we've got it all.

"Well done."

"Chan, you've shown us a different side of Bruce."

Elijah Wood, the star of "The Lord of the Rings," gave Chen Yu a thumbs up.

"Thank you!"

Chen Yu had already stood up, and then the theater lights instantly turned on.

The light shone on Chen Yu.

Like a deity.

Anne Hathaway has already arrived beside Chen Yu. Next, Chen Yu will lead the main cast onto the stage to undergo the familiar questioning session.

"Crystal, we might need to borrow your husband for a while."

"Of course, he's yours now!"

Liu Yifei nodded.

Chen Yu: "..."

Although I was a little jealous when they were performing.

But now——

Chen Yu could see right through her feelings.

If you want to be the woman behind a successful man, you shouldn't be petty.

The main cast and crew went on stage.

Everyone bowed to the crowd attending the premiere.

"I am very grateful to everyone for coming to the premiere of 'Bruce Lee'."

"This work has a different meaning for me."

"It is an honor for me to play the role of kung fu superstar Bruce Lee."

"Similarly, I hope this work can bring everyone a different experience."

wow——

The audience erupted in enthusiastic applause.

For Chen Yu, everyone was someone he would try to curry favor with.

Ask yourself, who wouldn't want to cooperate with Chen Yu now?

Who wouldn't want a piece of the pie?

"Chan, how did you understand and portray the complex character of Bruce Lee?"

After being asked this question, Chen Yu paused for a moment.

Actually.

He also experienced hesitation and inner conflict when portraying Bruce Lee.

There was no counterpart to this film in the previous life.

As a result, he had to figure it out on his own, and at one point he was even worried about the box office.

Fortunately, everything has settled down now.

"First of all, it is a great honor in my career to be able to portray Mr. Bruce Lee."

"It is also the most difficult task."

"Bruce Lee was not just a martial artist; he symbolized a cultural icon or a spiritual leader."

"In the process of portraying him, I underwent a long period of physical and martial arts training, and tried to enter his spiritual world."

"I pay my respects to a legendary figure with the utmost sincerity, to the best of my ability."

After hearing Chen Yu's words, the crowd applauded again.

This is definitely an excellent answer.

Similarly, Chen Yu's performance was indeed able to draw the audience in.

The subsequent inquiries were much simpler.

It mainly consists of some interesting anecdotes from the filming process, and my expectations for the success of this upcoming project.

He answered fluently and without hesitation.

After all, they are seasoned veterans in the entertainment industry, and they are quite experienced in this kind of interview!
The Q&A session lasted a full hour.

The premiere ended close to midnight.

"Chan, how about we find a place to have a drink?"

Stallone rushed to Chen Yu's side, where he was already surrounded by people who wanted to get in touch with him.

In any case, he cannot afford to miss this opportunity.

Chen Yu turned to look at Liu Yifei beside him. After a whole day, she was clearly exhausted.

The initial excitement at the start of the trip vanished completely.

"It's too late, my wife needs to rest."

"We can meet again when you're free during this period."

Chen Yu pulled Liu Yifei into his arms, his eyes overflowing with love.

The rest of the people present started to jeer.

It has to be said that Chen Yu and Liu Yifei, this golden couple, are simply a sight to behold and make people feel good.

"OK."

"be careful on the road."

Chen Yu and Liu Yifei slipped back into the car, and it was already late at night when they returned to the hotel.

Liu Yifei was already exhausted.

After taking a shower, I buried myself directly in the blankets.

Chen Yu didn't go to sleep immediately, but instead opened several mainstream North American film review websites.

He is now paying close attention to the reviews from North America. This is related to the upcoming North American box office.

To be precise, Chen Yu has already figured out the reaction at today's premiere.

At least in the eyes of several kung fu stars, this movie is definitely worth watching.

Now it depends on the attitudes of film critics and media personnel.

You should know that basically after the premiere, they can't wait to express their opinions, whether good or bad.

Around that time, Chen Yu opened the website.

Film critics in North America are no different from those in mainland China; media ratings can generally reflect a wide range of opinions.

Chen Yu opened various websites to compare them.

Metacritic.

This website integrates ratings from major media outlets and film critics, ultimately providing a comprehensive score.

And it will differentiate between film critics' and users' ratings.

Its influence is quite far-reaching.

Rotten Tomatoes, however, is different from the website mentioned above.

It compiles reviews of film programs from professional film critics and audiences, and provides ratings and summaries.

Rotten Tomatoes only shows the percentage of positive reviews.

It does not reflect the specific score of the evaluation.

As the most popular website for film reviews to date, it can indeed serve as a valuable reference.

Variety

"A groundbreaking and unforgettable biographical masterpiece that perfectly interprets the global influence of a legendary figure."

"It not only accurately replicates Bruce's iconic martial arts moves, but also captures the wisdom and indomitable fighting spirit of martial arts."

"An Oscar-worthy performance! Well deserved!"

The Hollywood Reporter

"This film will be a milestone; it perfectly captures the emotional tension within Asian stories."

"Especially Chan's classic fight scenes perfectly interpret the shock of Bruce's martial arts."

Entertainment Weekly

"The film is fast-paced and innovative in its fight choreography. The actor portrays Bruce Wayne with both physical and spiritual depth, showcasing his martial arts philosophy."

"Chan is a Chinese superstar who conquered Hollywood."

……

Looking at the comments on various websites, Chen Yu could see that the North American media had a very high opinion of the work "Bruce Lee".

I did it myself!
Without any past life to compare it to, he delivered a performance that garnered worldwide acclaim.

It has to be said that foreigners are really good at praising people.

Global influence, milestone, conquering Hollywood.

Even after years in the film and television industry, living two lives would still make her drool with envy from all the praise.

With his current strength and status, he naturally has people around him who speak well of him.

But it sounds nice and I like listening to it.

Compared to the mixed bag of information on domestic online forums, Chen Yu preferred the foreigners' comments.

Chen Yu scrolled through all the film reviews, and fortunately, there were very few negative reviews. He estimated that the index must be above 90%.

The ratings in North America seem to have stabilized.

As for Metacritic, the score is likely to be above 8.5.

This is only a portion of the population.

It seems that the movie "Bruce Lee" has indeed been loved all over the world.

Not only has it surpassed expectations at the mainland box office, but it should also perform well in North America.

Furthermore, Bruce Lee can be considered a global kung fu superstar.

There are countless people who want to support him.

Putting all that aside, kung fu fans in North America certainly wouldn't miss this masterpiece.

As for now——

We'll see how well it performs at the box office after its release.

Chen Yu now has only one thought: to spread the word quickly. As long as he can build a good reputation as soon as possible, he won't have to worry about the box office.

In fact, Chen Yu had already been looking to the future.

If the box office performance remains stable in the first week after its release, it will definitely be a huge hit.

He played a character worshipped by people all over the world.

It will naturally win everyone's favor and curiosity.

"go to bed!"

Chen Yu pulled Liu Yifei into his arms. The little girl was already fast asleep, clearly exhausted from the day.

the next day.

Chen Yu was woken up by his cell phone ringing.

Reaching out to the bedside table, Yang Lu's voice came through after pressing the answer button.

"Brother Yu! As of today, 'Bruce Lee' has grossed 11.42 billion yuan in its first week."

After hearing Yang Lu's report, Chen Yu smiled.

In 2008, a box office of over 10 billion was absolutely a phenomenal, blockbuster achievement.

Especially now that the box office is still rising.

It's only just getting started in North America.

This is just the box office figures for one week.

I have to say, the Spring Festival film season is truly amazing!
As for "CJ7", it has grossed 370 million yuan at the box office so far.

Although its growth rate is not nearly as high as that of "Bruce Lee", it has already firmly secured second place among the four works.

The Forbidden Kingdom grossed exactly 2.5 million.

The word-of-mouth has already been built up, and now everyone is completely avoiding "The Forbidden Kingdom".

As for "Kung Fu Dunk," although it still ranks last among the four films, it has still managed to steadily earn 1.5 million yuan at the box office.

If it gets more screenings, it could easily surpass "The Forbidden Kingdom".

It has surpassed 10 billion.

Chen Yu was curious about what kind of results would ultimately be achieved.
In the years that followed, very few films were able to reach 10 billion in box office revenue.

Before 2010, 10 billion yuan in box office revenue was an unattainable ceiling in mainland China.

Chen Yu's appearance merely brought this achievement forward.

For the world, the rise of the Chinese market was only a matter of time.

Sooner or later, Chen Yu will make Chinese films stand out on the world stage.

"Dang Dang Dang——"

"Mr. Chen is up and having breakfast."

When Chen Yu woke up, he didn't see Liu Yifei; it turned out she had gone to make breakfast for the family.

Both of them are usually very busy.

Opportunities to cook are extremely rare.

After getting dressed, Chen Yu and Liu Yifei went downstairs.

Fortunately, they had already asked the nanny to buy the ingredients before they arrived yesterday.

"My heart-shaped steak!"

She presented the plate in front of Chen Yu like a treasure, clearly in a very good mood.

Humming a little tune, she brought out the mixed vegetable salad.

It can be considered as adhering to local customs when in Rome.

The food they eat has also changed drastically.

The two had brunch and were just about to check out the reviews on the film review website when Chen Yu's phone rang at just the right moment.

It's Robert Shea.

Hey! Dear Chan.

After last night's commotion, Robert Shea doesn't seem tired at all.

He was in much better condition overall.

"Are you up yet?"

After receiving a definite answer from Chen Yu, Robert Shea stated directly why he had made the call.

"Let's pack up later, we need to go to Los Angeles for movie promotion."

"It looks like you won't have any time to rest for the next week."

After hearing what the person on the other end said, Chen Yu agreed.

This is consistent with the new line's usual practice.

Basically, they maintained a very high level of enthusiasm throughout the publicity and promotion process.

We definitely need to ensure the best possible publicity before the film's release! (End of Chapter)
