Chapter 986 Participate in the premiere of "There Will Be No Date"
Zhou Xia is all too clear about the global influence of Cruise and the "Mission: Impossible" series of films, their box office appeal and potential.

Although this series of films started by Wu Baige has nothing to do with him now, each film can earn hundreds of millions of dollars worldwide.

The fifth part has a good reputation, with a global box office of 6.82 million US dollars, but it is average in the mainland, with a box office of only 8.7 million soft sister coins.

Zhou Xia's "Descendants of Yanhuang" is a military action theme, which is a bit similar to "Wolf Warrior", but there are more scenes of love and the story is more touching.

Through two couples of soldiers and doctors, it shows young people, the feelings of family and country, life, love and other pursuits of Chinese descendants.

Zhou Xia is still very confident about this movie, at least there should be no problem in Asia.

In the global market, Zhou Xia is not sure about Chinese-language military action movies, and does not dare to have too much expectation.

Therefore, in order to compete with "Mission: Impossible 5" globally, it is still necessary to stabilize the mainland and the entire Asian market.

Of course, now Zhou Xia has been recognized in the global market through films such as "The Expendables 2 and 3", "New Detective", "Legend of Sword" Part [-] and Part [-], and has a large number of loyal movie fans and fans.

The action scenes of this movie are also very exciting, especially when it involves fighting with terrorists, and there are some battles with special effects such as ships and planes. It is more like a Hollywood blockbuster than "New Detective", and it should also attract European and American audiences who like action movies. like.

Zhou Xia's only worry is that he is afraid of being labeled by foreign media as a Chinese patriotic educational film, which will adversely affect the global screening of the film through ideology.

Although this movie does not have some patriotic propaganda and nationalist slogans in "Wolf Warrior 2", the original work is called a patriotic military romance novel, so it can be seen that there are more invisible and advanced propaganda in it.

Moreover, there is cooperation from relevant state departments in filming, so there is really no way to refute this.

In comparison, Hollywood movies export American values ​​all over the world, and the American flag is always seen in the movies, but foreign media evaluate Wu Jing and his movies with double standards, which is indeed very social.

This is also an important reason why Zhou Xia did not maintain high expectations for the film in the global market.

After listening to Zhang Zhao and Yang Tianzhen's general report on the schedule and promotion plan of several summer movies, Zhou Xia continued to be busy with the preparation of the new movie.

"Chinatown 2" will be filmed next, the original cast will remain the same, with Zhou Xia, Wang Baobao and Huang Bo still starring.

As for the heroine, Er Di will play the New York Chinese detective, and the 17-year-old Song Zuer will play the mysterious Xiangjiang hacker, a genius girl detective who always wears video game rock clothes.

As one of Zhou Xia's two comedy action series, it is different from the hard-core kung fu movies of "New Detective". In addition to the suspenseful plot of detectives and solving cases, the action scenes are more nonsensical and playful.

To put it simply, one is like Li Lianjie's action style, and the other is like Cheng Nong's action style.

Although Zhou Xia is a remake of other people's movies, he is not only a director, but also an action actor, so the action scenes in the movie are obviously more important, and the style has his characteristics.

This is one of the reasons why these two movies are such a hit.

Although "Chinatown 1" was screened in other parts of Asia at that time, it was far from comparable to the performance of "New Detective", and it was not screened in the West, but the overseas copyrights were also bought very well.

Xiahua Film and Television North America Company's video of this movie is very popular in the rental market, especially as Zhou Xia became famous overseas because of "The Expendables 2 and 3" and several other movies, many fans who like Zhou Xia I went back to watch this movie, and the reviews of this movie on overseas movie websites are also very good, with more than eight points.

Now that Zhou Xia is shooting this movie, he is naturally very concerned about the layout of overseas markets.

In addition to the participation of the original island country actors in the movie, involving the scenes of the United States, he also specially invited Schwarzenegger to play the role of the chief of the New York Police Department.

In addition, there are the action superstars he has worked with in "The Expendables", the muscular guy in the gay bar, and the genius doctor and murderer. Zhou Xia invited the male second of "Twilight" Played by Taylor, who plays the werewolf.

Zhou Xia is not worried about the script, the filming team, and the filming in the United States.

He, Wang Baobao, Huang Bo and others are also experienced actors, and it was not difficult to shoot this movie.

The only thing that worries Zhou Xia is the performance of the two heroines, Er Di and Song Zuer.

So these days Zhou Xia sent them to the company, and would go to see how they were preparing in a day or two.

The role of Erdi has high requirements for spoken English, and it must also show the confidence and competence of a Chinese policeman in the United States.

As for Song Zuer's role, she doesn't have many roles, after fitting, she fits the role very well, only there are some problems in acting.

I have been busy for a few more days, and the time has come to June 6th. The premiere of Han Han's movie "The Future Will Be Unexpected" was held in the imperial capital.

The three male protagonists of this play are Wang Kaikai, Huang Xuan, and Wang Chuanjun, and the three female protagonists are Nini, Xiaoying, and Zhang Jingchu.

In particular, Wang Kaikai and Xiaoying have previously sold blockbuster movies that proved their box office appeal. Coupled with actors with outstanding acting skills such as Huang Xuan, Wang Chuanjun, Nini, and Zhang Jingchu, as well as the attention of director Han Han himself, As early as after the movie's trailer was released, the topicality and popularity continued to rise.

Now that the premiere ceremony is held, the popularity of this movie has risen to No.1. Compared with several movies that are currently showing in theaters, "Rampage Hollywood" starring Zhao Yanzi, Huang Jiaozhu, and Tong Dawei, which was released on the same day, is even more popular many.

Zhou Xia and Er Di also attended the movie premiere.

In addition to being a movie platform, it is also adding some heat to his new movies "Descendants of Yan and Huang" and "Chinatown 2".

On the star-studded premiere red carpet, many stars from Xiahua Film and Television in Beijing attended, including many people in the cultural circle.

As a young director mainly supported by Xia Hua Film and Television, coupled with Han Han's own influence, his debut film premiered, which can be said to have attracted a lot of attention.

Zhou Xia and Erdi made their grand finale walk on the red carpet and were interviewed by the host.

"Welcome Director Zhou and Erdi. The media and fans are very happy to see you at the premiere of Director Han Han's film. Director Zhou, we all know that your time is precious. You have been nominated for many award ceremonies. I had time to attend, but today I spared precious time to attend the premiere of the film directed by Han Han, what is the reason, you have always said that Xiahua Film and Television attaches great importance to cultivating young directors, is this proved by actions?"
