Chapter 283 This first day's box office... too scary!
In fact, although the reporter's words were not pleasant, they did not mean to insult Chen Xi and the others. In fact, what the reporter said had a kind of authenticity, because the problems Chen Xi and the others are facing now are indeed very different from this. relation.

Chen Xi organized his language a little bit, and then said: "For such a question, I think I am full of confidence! Indeed, many people in the North American market's image of Chinese movies are those ancient people with long hair, and ancient kung fu movies are Their influence on Chinese-language films, but you have to say that our country has many other types of excellent films! Chinese-language films are by far the most popular type of foreign-language films in the North American market. It is true that the most outstanding ones are period films, but we There are still movies like "Alive" and "Farewell My Concubine" that can get a good box office. Just as before, everyone only thought that Chinese action movies only look good if they have to be martial arts in ancient costumes, but the results of "Raid" are very good. I believe that " "Source Code" can also bring a refreshing feeling to anyone."

Chen Xi's words were spoken in a series of non-stop English, and the technical content in the middle is really not low.

Many foreigners also have to say that Chen Xi's English is really excellent, which is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

But what Chen Xi said was good, neither humble nor overbearing.

"So the genre of "Source Code" is a bit like "To Live" and "Farewell My Concubine", does it have a deep historical accumulation? Just like those Chinese genre movies we have seen, you know, in it Those Chinese people in China have formed a certain image for us many times...God." The guy deliberately shook his head slightly and said: "That is really a sad time!"

Hearing these words, Chen Xi instantly felt a strong anger filling his chest, an anger that even wanted him to beat this bitch to the ground.

Fuck!
This question sounds like nothing, simple and ordinary, but in fact, there is a real look of contempt in it.

Chinese movies, I have to say, many literary and artistic films that can attract wide attention in Europe and the United States, too many of them are related to the ten-year catastrophe, such as "To Live", "Farewell My Concubine", "Sunshine Brilliant Days"... Others such as "Qiu Ju's Lawsuit" show the dark side of China...

So some people think that the fifth generation of directors in China is just trying to show their scars to win the likes and favors of foreigners, so as to obtain the status of so-called international directors. These words are too harsh, and who I don't know what they are thinking, maybe they have a little bit of everything... In fact, it would be great if movies like South Korea are developed. It is a magical country where almost any movie can be approved.

In fact, the United States, the so-called beacon of freedom in many people's minds, has absolutely no loose film censorship system. Compared with South Korea, it is far behind. It's just that some people imagine that place is too beautiful.

But for China, that is really too extravagant. Indeed, there are big problems with the review system, but the biggest problem is not that it is too strict, but that the review is not clear, and there is no one to die at all. The standards are often ambiguous. What movies can pass the review and what movies can't are often the people behind the movie distribution and production. This kind of unfairness is the biggest problem.Generally speaking, China's review is indeed necessary, there is no way, because of ideology and world competition issues, plus a lot of paid pennies for public knowledge to spread rumors and cheat, and online comments in many places are all the same. Looks like it's about to die...

Public opinion is very important. During these sensitive periods, in order to avoid the possibility of a peaceful evolution, some things are indeed very necessary.

Of course, this is a long way off, and the fifth generation of Chinese directors will not be discussed. After all, even the Japanese film master Akira Kurosawa, there are many Japanese who grit their teeth at him and think that he is a traitor, and he is also dedicated to showing the weaknesses of the Japanese. For the rest of the world to see, when things come back to this point, it is the Westerners, facing the Chinese people's ten-year catastrophe and the like, anyway, it is the dark side of China, which has extraordinary attention, and does not Know if they're looking for superiority or how...

And now the words that this guy said already carried a kind of ridicule and irony.

"calm down!"

Chen Xi quickly took a deep breath, because he was about to directly attack the United States here...

Although Chen Xi is not an anti-Americanist, he does have a dislike for the United States. This country is sanctimonious, as if it is the hope of the world, and acts as the world's police everywhere. However, what they bring is Afghanistan, Iraq and many other places. The never-ending flames of war and countless deaths... They are taking many people into the abyss.

It was as if Gorbachev, a loyal friend of the United States, personally sent the Soviet Union into the abyss, as if they had completed a peaceful evolution, and they would rise to a prosperous economy from now on...

However, the dreamers of capitalism have created a happy world where "the streets are full of starvation and frozen bones, and millions of Russian prostitutes go to Western Europe". The Putin Empire, which is big and thick, but whose economy keeps collapsing... But these things are actually just thinking about it. If Chen Xi said it here, not to mention that he is not a researcher of international strategy at all, he would not be able to say it. There are too many things coming, even if he is asked to talk about it, then his "Source Code" will not be confused.

Therefore, he still tried not to get involved in these things.

Chen Xi said: "Our country does not only have movies like "Apocalypse of War". My "Source Code" is a combination of the beauty of Chinese action movies, and the burst like "Raid". Movies with sci-fi ideas and ideas, as for whether everyone can accept it, the good reviews so far should be able to prove everything!"

Chen Xi still couldn't help stabbing.

The movie "Apocalypse of War" completely attacked the absurdity of the Vietnam War in the United States, so Chen Xi's words are still soft and strong.

Liu Yifei heard Chen Xi's familiar and beautiful English, heard his eloquent talk, and heard his sharp remarks, and felt a little strange in her heart...Chen Xi is really a special person. Strange guy, he always brings too many surprises to people, as if he can do everything...

When the interview program was finished, Chen Xi also wiped off his sweat. At least he didn't touch too many deep-seated issues today, so he withdrew the topic to the movie itself. Now he knows what these Yankees are thinking I said: After all, they are for the effect of the program, so they have been deliberately leading Chen Xi to the place of ideology. something to refute.

After Chen Xi and the others came back from the United States, the scale of North American screenings of "Source Code" was larger, and the attendance rate was also increasing. The key point is that the praise of this movie is also increasing. It is quite important to say that after the North American market has performed well, the film markets in many other countries are gradually extending olive branches to Chen Xi and the others.

... On December 12th, the high-profile hegemony officially began, because on this day, "Nanjing!Nanjing! "The highly anticipated movie was finally released on the big screen in China. At the beginning, this movie was highly valued because of a lot of publicity. Many people knew the existence of this movie... But after that, this movie was The attention is due to the war of words between this movie and "Source Code".

From the very beginning, the competition between the two films was just a scolding between some fans, and then even the top executives of the film began to attack each other.

Many people want to see the final results of these two films, even now everyone actually knows that "Nanjing!Nanjing! "The general trend is over, but everyone is still looking forward to seeing a fight...

One day on the 14th, "Nanjing!Nanjing! "'s box office came out, and this movie finally got 400 million box office on the first day. If this box office is put on other movies, it might not be bad, but if it's put on this movie, it makes Lu Qian and the others feel sweaty. , as if it was hit by a bolt from the blue!God, what's going on?
400 million at the box office!
Just kidding!
It's still the Lunar New Year file!

Ruined!
Moreover, what frightened them the most was that after all, many people attacked "Nanjing!Nanjing! "'s preconceptions, after seeing the specific content of this movie, I really feel that everything is like that, these statements are mutually verified, so, "Nanjing!Nanjing! "Word-of-mouth encountered Waterloo, it seems that the general trend is gone.

On the 17th when "Source Code" was released, it has been three days, but "Nanjing!Nanjing! "The box office of such a blockbuster has not yet reached 1000 million. This horrible situation makes everyone know that this battle, Lu Qian is really finished!He just poked a hornet's nest, but the result now is unbearable for him.

On the 17th, the more anticipated "Source Code" officially premiered!
This movie has indeed received too many people's expectations. After all, this is Chen Xi's sci-fi movie, and so many movie critics gave this movie good reviews before, so many people are really looking forward to this movie... "Source Code" has been screened in the United States, but not in China. After all, at Chen Xi's current level, there is no need to order screenings. Many people will tell fans about many things, and a movie like "Source Code" If it is actually screened, it may be spoiled by people.

So, today, everyone is not only looking forward to the box office of "Source Code", but also looking forward to seeing what will happen to this movie, and whether it can explode into a terrifying box office like Chen Xi's rhetoric...

The 17th is Monday. In fact, this is a very bad time for release. On Monday, a movie’s box office on the first day can reach 1000 million, which is almost a masterpiece level. If the word-of-mouth does not collapse afterwards, the movie It is almost certain that the box office will exceed [-] million.

Chen Xi had no choice but to choose to release the movie on Monday. This was after a lot of consideration...

But it doesn't matter, as long as the word-of-mouth of the movie rises, there are many things that don't need to worry too much.

On this day, many people estimate that the first-day box office of "Source Code" may go towards 1500 million. At that time, we will look at the final box office of the film based on the film's follow-up word-of-mouth.

After get off work time in the afternoon, the number of people watching "Source Code" has increased wildly. It is already hard to get a ticket during the time slot, and the seats that are basically obtained are some not so good seats, and almost all the good seats are occupied.

In the evening, there were various voices in the playback hall of "Source Code".

At the very beginning, many movie fans watched with dewy heads, feeling like they didn't know what happened, but for many viewers, both Chen Xi and Liu Yifei were quite eye-catching, especially Chen Xi who hadn't been in the movie before. I have seen it on the big screen, and now I suddenly see it, and it really feels amazing, so the audience is watching it now, and they also feel that the suspense is getting deeper and more attractive. .

Then, the sci-fi idea of ​​the entire story of "Source Code" was unveiled, and many people gasped for a while, and then they couldn't help admiring, thinking that Chen Xi is the most promising young man in China after all. Director, this kind of thinking is really against the sky!And even though this suspense has been solved, the subsequent development of the film still makes people feel nervous and catchy, and they are reluctant to leave the big screen at a glance.

Until the end, everyone felt hearty. This feeling of watching such a good movie is like eating a pot of fragrant and steaming hot pot on a cold day. is comfortable.

"Chen Xi's best movie, it's great!"

"The best science fiction movie in China, no doubt!"

"Only Chen Xi can create such a good movie! I really admire him more and more!"
