The media also chases after trending topics.
With the movie "Independence Day" about to be released and generating so much buzz, it's time to report on it!
Just before the release of "Independence Day," advertisements for the film were everywhere across the country.
Wujiang Group successfully shifted its focus to "Independence Day".
On the day of the film's premiere, a galaxy of stars gathered, with many Hong Kong celebrities and film companies coming to offer their congratulations.
This massively invested film has taken Hong Kong by storm.
In the 1980s and 90s, Hong Kong cinema was extremely prosperous, but film companies might not dare to invest $80 million in a single film.
Even with high box office returns in Hong Kong, it's unlikely to exceed HK$60 million.
If "Independence Day" doesn't become a global hit, it will definitely lose money.
"With such a high investment, it's probably difficult to recoup the costs. Chinese filmmakers simply can't make good science fiction films!"
"Yes, it looks like all that investment is going down the drain! The production and marketing costs combined are $120 million. That much money could have allowed us to make hundreds of movies."
"..."
The premiere ended quickly, and then everyone went into the movie theater to watch the film.
Independence Day is thrilling in both its plot and special effects, with no dull moments.
The movie's special effects, in particular, are visually stunning and incredibly impressive, showcasing the power and grandeur of the alien spaceship to the fullest extent. When the enormous alien spaceship floated over the entire city, everyone seemed to truly feel the fear of dark clouds pressing down on the city and threatening to destroy it.
Holy crap! It's huge!!!
"We're doomed. The alien spaceship is so powerful, how can humanity possibly fight it?"
"Holy crap, that's incredible! They actually dared to film this! An alien spaceship shot out a beam of red light and instantly blew up the office of the US president!"
"Oh dear, the filming was too conservative. Let's give the Japanese toilet a shot! Ahhhhh!"
Some viewers felt a slight sense of regret, but were quickly satisfied.
An alien spaceship launched a massive warhead, centered on Tokyo, and sank the entire Japanese island.
From that moment on, Japan disappeared from the map.
At this point, Jackie Chan, who plays the protagonist, finally makes his move. He bravely fights in a J-n fighter jet, eventually capturing an alien and a fighter jet. He then enters the alien spaceship in the fighter jet, implants a virus inside the spaceship, and causes the alien spaceship's protective shield to disappear. Finally, humanity launches nuclear warheads, destroying all the alien spaceships on Earth and winning the victory.
This movie is 126 minutes long, half an hour longer than a typical movie. The entire viewing experience was tense, exciting, shocking, and moving.
"Holy crap, Independence Day is such a f***ing amazing movie! I never imagined that the Shanghai Animation Film Studio could make such a spectacular and breathtaking sci-fi blockbuster. It's incredible! Especially the special effects, they're even better than those from Hollywood!"
"Yeah, this movie is definitely going to be a hit. It's the best sci-fi blockbuster I've ever seen since Star Wars!"
At this moment, the lights in the movie theater came on. Raymond Chow and Robert Ho, the two directors from Golden Harvest Film Company, exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with undisguised shock. "Independence Day" was so well made that it completely exceeded their expectations!
"It's incredible that the mainland can produce such a good movie!" Ho Kwun-cheung couldn't help but exclaim, seemingly somewhat disappointed, vaguely realizing the backwardness of Hong Kong films...
