Entertainment: Who still wants to fall in love when there are cheats?

Chapter 222 Admiration
'Bang bang bang...'

The bullets riddled Mu Gang with holes.

Meanwhile, Han Sanye and his men were also terrified. Because of Li Boda's twisted sense of humor, when Mu Gang was killed, he deliberately turned the camera to make it look as if the mercenaries were shooting at the audience.

After the shot ended, Master Han and the others couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat from their brows.

Despite their fear, Master Han and the others stared intently at the big screen, unwilling to look away.

Although the movie had only just started playing, its captivating elements had already completely captured their attention.

There's also a laser tunnel, which, with its incredibly realistic 3D effects, gives Han Sanye and his companions the illusion that they're actually inside one. Later, zombies emerge, along with crawlers and other creatures.

They were both scared and thrilled watching it.

After the Resident Evil arc ended, Zheng Zha and his group arrived at the Main God Space. At this time, Han Sanye and the others, who had been under immense pressure, also began to relax.

Later, after entering the [Alien], their tension increased once again.

……

"Clap clap clap!"

"Okay, that's great!"

"Director Li, you're amazing! You're absolutely incredible!"

"This movie is so good!"

"Awesome! Absolutely awesome!"

"I've never seen such a wonderful movie before."

"Watching this movie felt like I was chosen by God and experienced two different horror movie worlds. It was terrifying."

While clapping, Master Han praised the movie "Infinite Terror".

The quality of "Infinite Terror" really exceeded their expectations.

All I can say is, it was brilliant, absolutely brilliant.

Both the special effects and the movie's storyline are perfect.

I don't know when it started, but many movies, or rather, many blockbusters, have begun to focus on special effects, visuals, and all sorts of other things, while the stories themselves are not exciting enough.

For example, "Hero," well, it seems that all of Zhang Yimou's later films are like this: the visuals are exquisite, the colors are vibrant, the cast is very strong, etc., but the story always feels weak.

But the "Infinite Terror" in front of us is completely different.

The plot of the movie "Infinite Terror" is wonderful, truly wonderful. Even though I had read the original novel of "Infinite Terror" before, I still felt very tense when watching the movie.

In addition, the special effects, which served as the finishing touch, elevated the quality of the film.

It even gave Han Sanye the feeling that this was a real special effects blockbuster.

The special effects are so good and amazing, but in essence, they serve the movie's plot entirely, unlike other movies where the plot is more like an embellishment to the special effects.

Even at this moment, Master Han could confidently guarantee that the movie "Infinite Terror" in front of him was the best he had seen in recent years. He even felt that "Avatar," which he had seen last year, was slightly inferior to "Infinite Terror" overall.

It wasn't just people like Han Sanye in China who thought "Infinite Terror" was good; even people from Legendary Pictures and Lionsgate thought it was a fantastic movie.

Even though "Infinite Terror" was a film made by Chinese people, they seemed to have almost no problem watching it.

The premise of a group of people being captured by the main god and thrown into the worlds of "Resident Evil" and "Alien" to survive is incredibly compelling, especially with the outstanding special effects.

Lionsgate and Legendary Pictures have given this film extremely high praise.

Even now, they are starting to regret not investing more.

This is a big-budget production costing nearly 90 million US dollars. Even in Hollywood, that amount would be considered a top-tier production. However, the two companies only invested a total of 10 million US dollars, which is a very small percentage.

They even believed that if the director of the movie "Infinite Terror" was a Hollywood director and the actors were also Hollywood actors, then the movie would definitely do well at the box office after its release.

They've already made up their minds: there will definitely be a sequel to "Infinite Terror." When they do make the sequel, they'll definitely increase their investment, and ideally, they'd like to acquire the film's rights.

Everyone has a very high opinion of the movie "Infinite Terror" and everyone is optimistic about it.

Afterwards, Li Boda submitted the film to the Film Bureau for review. This time, the Film Bureau didn't even nitpick or find fault with it. It passed the review on the first try, and there was absolutely no need for any modifications.

Li Boda was naturally very pleased with this. Although under normal circumstances, even if a minor flaw were found, it wouldn't take much effort, it was always better to save some trouble.

Just as all the work on the movie "Infinite Terror" was completed and all that was left was for its release, Li Boda received an invitation.

It was Xu Ke's invitation.

Xu Ke invited Li Boda to attend the premiere of "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate".

Li Boda was somewhat curious about this movie.

After all, Tsui Hark had indeed promoted "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" as the first domestic 3D special effects film. Therefore, Li Boda was very curious about the quality of the special effects in "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate."

Is it possible for the movie "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" to be comparable to "Avatar"? Well, that's a bit wishful thinking. After all, in terms of special effects, even "Infinite Terror" is still a little bit behind "Avatar," let alone "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate."

I was curious about this movie and wanted to see how far it could go. Plus, Li Boda had just finished the special effects, so I was really looking forward to relaxing and changing my mood.

So, Li Boda, who happened to have nothing to do, agreed to attend the premiere of "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate".

When Li Boda arrived at the premiere of "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate", a large crowd surrounded him.

The reporters, one by one, practically wanted to shove their microphones into Li Boda's mouth, and their cameras flashed incessantly, as if they wouldn't stop until they blinded Li Boda.

"Li Boda, [Infinite Terror] is releasing next month, what are your thoughts?"

"Director Li, are you here to spy on the premiere of 'Flying Swords of Dragon Gate' because you're feeling guilty? Are you worried that the quality of your film 'Infinite Terror' won't be as good as 'Flying Swords of Dragon Gate'?"

"Li Boda, I heard you did the special effects for [Infinite Terror] yourself? Why? Was it because you didn't have the money? Or were you trying to fool the audience?"

"Li Boda, do you think your special effects can compare to Hollywood's?"

"Director Li, do you have any expectations for the box office performance of 'Infinite Terror'? How much do you think it will gross this time?"

These reporters kept buzzing and asking endless questions, as if trying to bury Li Boda, which annoyed him.

"This is the premiere of 'Flying Swords of Dragon Gate,' so please pay more attention to it. I don't want to answer any other questions."

Li Boda gave a casual reply, then ignored their questions and walked straight ahead.

Li Boda ignored the reporters, and the reporters weren't angry either. They had already asked their questions, and how they wrote the rest was up to them to make up their stories.

At this moment, Xu Ke also ran over to Li Boda with a smile, looking quite enthusiastic.

"Oh dear, I'm starting to regret inviting you to the premiere of 'Flying Swords of Dragon Gate.' All the reporters' attention is on you now; nobody's paying attention to the movie itself," Xu Ke jokingly complained.

"...I regret coming here now. I finally finished the special effects and could just take a break, but I got blocked by a bunch of people here. I should have known better than to come," Li Boda complained.

While Li Boda and Xu Ke were exchanging a few words, quite a few celebrities rushed over to Li Boda's side.

"Hello Director Li, I am xxx."

"Director Li, I really love your movies."

"Director Li, there's a chance we could work together sometime!"

Li Boda dealt with these people casually, and finally Xu Ke pulled Li Boda to the side of the "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" team, which finally separated those people.

However, Chen Kun, Zhou Xun, and even Li Lianjie all greeted Li Boda with smiles, and they all seemed to harbor a desire to befriend him. Even Li Lianjie was no exception.

It can only be said that Li Boda's identity as a renowned director has already gained initial recognition within the entertainment industry.

Therefore, even an international superstar like Jet Li wouldn't mind working with Li Boda on a film.

Back when Li Boda first started directing, some stars who weren't very famous were reluctant to work with him.

Looking at it now, the difference is truly enormous.

After arriving at the movie theater, Li Boda found a seat and sat down. People continued to come up to greet him.

There were even a few particularly conspicuous bags, as if they wanted to put on a show in front of Li Boda, directly saying that they wanted to work with Li Boda on a film.

There were also those who claimed to be extremely wealthy and were willing to pay Li Boda to direct and make movies, which annoyed Li Boda to no end.

Finally, having no other choice, Li Boda used some tricks to reduce his presence, and only then did he truly find peace and quiet.
