Entertainment tycoon since 83

Chapter 263 Hot
[This is an exciting, mysterious, and romantic movie. Huang is worthy of being an art film director. He put art into a martial arts film. There are reflections on people and traditions. And you don’t have to choose not to go to the cinema just because it is a Chinese film. Except for the need to read the subtitles, I have no barriers to watching the movie. It is easy to understand some of the choices of the characters in it. ]

【This is a film that combines romance, philosophy and martial arts action. 】

[The action scenes are absolutely novel, the camera movements, and the fast editing are at least five years ahead of Hollywood action movies. If you don't like action movies, you won't regret watching this movie. The emotions of the characters and the changes in their roles are equally exciting.]

[It is an action film, an art film, and also a landscape film. The scenery in it is magnificent and has a mysterious oriental flavor.]

A surprising film, a melodrama of passion and failure that manages to carry itself into the air.

[Huang Ze no longer shoots black comedy, but shoots an oriental film with unique charm. From this film, you can see Huang Ze's progress. He is a master-level genius in shooting black comedy and innovating film structure. But this film shows me that a true master is rising! ]

[Beautiful scenery, you can see the mysterious ancient country from this film! Huang also told this newspaper the filming location, which is Shanghai Chedun Film and Television City...]

The relationship between the United States and China is pretty good at the moment.

Even though the polar bear looked like it was in a bad condition, it couldn't turn that quickly.

The United States will not take action until everything collapses and separates completely, so the propaganda about China by these media is not too negative.

But the audience doesn’t really care about this.

After reading these film reviews, everyone knows only one thing.

That special pop singer who previously made the hit "Pulp Fiction" has made another good movie.

In fact, sometimes, the first impression given to most passers-by is very important.

As Huang Ze's songs are mostly high-quality and he rarely stays in the United States, he is not as popular as others.

He is also handsome.

In addition, the previous "Pulp Fiction" was really popular and of high quality, so some people who wanted to watch a movie recently subconsciously wanted to appreciate Huang Ze's new film.

Jamie was one of them, he had no interest in watching the movie at first, but after reading the reviews he got the idea to watch it and walked into the nearest cinema to his home.

"Are there any new porn movies here?"

"I'm sorry, sir. No, why don't you watch Ghost? Demi Moore is so beautiful in it, and there's a scene where they make pottery together. You won't regret watching it, sir."

"I've seen it twice. I want to watch the new movie called Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon."

"Sorry, no."

"Then I'll go to other theaters."

Although there were only a hundred cinemas showing the film, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon was concentrated in the two cities of New York and Los Angeles in order to win awards. Although the curious audiences could not see the film in every cinema, they did not have to look for it specifically. They could see a cinema showing Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in just two cinemas.

After buying the ticket and arriving at the theater, Jamie discovered that there were quite a few people sitting inside, almost half of the theater was occupied.

"There are so many people watching!" Jamie was surprised.

After all, it is Friday morning now, and it is really not a small number to have so many spectators.

Audiences like Jamie walked into the cinema one by one.

Some of these people are fans of Huang Ze, some like "Pulp Fiction", some want to watch a mysterious oriental science fiction film, and some are attracted by the good reviews in the newspapers. They all come to the same conclusion.

After they have watched it, some who think the film is good enough will recommend it to their friends.

“A mysterious oriental movie with incredibly beautiful scenery.”

"You have to watch this, the fight scenes in Huang's film are really cool."

on Monday.

The box office revenue for the first three days of the weekend, plus Thursday’s advance screening, was counted.

"The total is $1.5 million, and the average revenue from the first three days of the first weekend was $15,000 for each of the 100 venues."

"The cinema chains are all expanding their screenings and are asking us for copies."

"Increase to three hundred!"

After all, it is a Chinese-language film, and the situation is good, but Warner also has to consider whether it is because of Huang Ze's fans, and also consider the need to win an Oscar. Long-term screening is better. Warner did not immediately increase the number of screening venues and launch a large-scale public screening. After maintaining these 300 venues for a week, the box office is still good, earning 4 million US dollars in a week, and the average weekly box office is still over 10,000 yuan.

The total box office climbed to $5.5 million.

The situation is very good!

The top executives of Warner Bros. immediately held a meeting, and most people seemed to be seeing another "Pulp Fiction" and decided to increase investment immediately. In the new week, they asked various cinema chains for 1,000 venues for the opening of the film, and began to add publicity funds, and also added one million US dollars in funds for the Oscar bid.

This news was also told to Huang Ze and Li Lianjie.

"Brother Huang, we've already got over 5 million dollars now. After we get to 1,000 theaters, if things aren't too bad, we should have no problem getting 20 million dollars at the box office in the end, right?"

Li Lianjie looked at Huang Ze with eyes full of admiration.

He really didn't expect that a Chinese-language film could get such data.

Do I really want to become an international movie star in the future?
Just thinking about it, Li Lianjie felt like he was having a stroke. The corners of his mouth twitched. He wanted to laugh, but also wanted to be reserved, but he couldn't help it.

"Did your math and PE teacher teach you this?" Huang Ze complained.

"How do you know? The teacher who teaches us mathematics also teaches martial arts." Li Lianjie said.

"..."

"You're awesome." Huang Ze smiled, "Twenty million is definitely possible. I think you can even set your goal at fifty million."

"What about over 100 million?" Li Lianjie asked curiously.

"That requires the right time, right place, and right people."

"To put it simply, we need to have a big harvest at the Oscars next year. We should be able to drive 20 million in box office revenue through the Oscars. Only then will we have a chance to make 100 million US dollars."

“If we can really break 100 million…” Li Lianjie couldn’t continue.

"Your salary should be at least 3 million US dollars! If you can make another movie that breaks 100 million, it will be more than 5 million and less than 10 million."

"Brother Huang, stop talking, stop talking, my heart rate has exceeded 100. If you keep talking, I won't be able to sleep tonight." Li Lianjie stood up, "I can't listen to it anymore, I'm leaving first, Brother Huang."

"See you tomorrow."

After he walked out, Huang Ze stood up, closed the door, took a basin, filled it with hot water, put the medicine bag he had brought before, and prepared to soak his feet.

Everything was ready. The phone beside the bed rang and Huang Ze answered it first.

Feet in water.

It felt hot and cool, and Huang Ze let out a comfortable "sizzling" sound.

The man slapped his thigh in excitement.

Cool!
"What are you doing?" Gong Xing's slightly serious voice came from the other side. "Why are there clapping sounds? Also, why did you just squeak? Why is there the sound of water?"

"..." Huang Ze was speechless, "I really admire your imagination. I'm soaking my feet, listen."

Huang Ze quickly slapped the water a few times with his feet.

The sound was "Puff, puff."

The numbness made it easier for people to have wild thoughts. Huang Ze bent down and knocked on the basin twice. "Do you understand this sound?"

"Oh."

"There's something I need to tell you."

"Someone approached me today and wanted me to play the lead role in his play, but the age of the female lead and I were too inappropriate, so I turned it down."

"But I was also conflicted about wanting to invest, be a producer, and have my name on the film."

"Because I think that movie is really, I'm not saying it's that good, it really touched me, the heroine's experience is very similar to mine, I think if I invest in it, it might have a different meaning."
