Chapter 210 Paving a New Way for Chinese Cinema
at present.
The box office of "Happy Big Shot" is around 1 billion yuan.
The Swordsman grossed around 320 million yuan.
The box office of "Legend of Fei" is around 290 million yuan.
Meanwhile, the box office of "Lucky Star Project" barely exceeded 100 million yuan.
Thanks to the reminders from concerned individuals, more and more people have come to notice this problem.
yes.
The ticket price for the Lucky Star Project was only ten yuan. If it were fifty yuan, the box office would be 500 million yuan by now.
It's good enough to rank below Happy Big Star and stand second on the box office chart. What's wrong with this result?
It was only later that netizens realized that it wasn't that Zhou Tianyi's movie had poor box office performance, but rather that they never thought it would be very successful, so they naturally didn't make that connection.
Now, thanks to Gong Xueer's post, everyone has realized that this movie is far more complex than it appears on the surface.
Yi Ruo Cinema.
"Two tickets for the Lucky Star Project movie, please."
This was the first time in many days that Xiao Liang had heard someone ask for movie tickets for the Lucky Star Project.
It seems the hype has died down, and probably not many people are watching it, which is why people are buying it offline.
Xiao Liang handed the tickets to the two people, thinking that this was both the beginning and the end. But not long after, more people came to buy tickets for the Lucky Star Project.
As a result, Xiao Liang, who was originally only moderately busy, suddenly became extremely busy.
"I'm exhausted." At lunchtime, Xiao Liang was so tired that his back ached.
"What's going on? Why are you suddenly so tired? Didn't they say that 'Legend of the Condor Heroes' and 'The Swordsman' were getting a lot of flak and fewer and fewer people were watching them?" Xiao Ming asked, puzzled.
Xiao Liang gave a wry smile after hearing this: "This time it has nothing to do with them. It's Tianyi's movie, and suddenly a lot of people came."
"No wonder I'm still so busy. It turns out I've switched from buying tickets online to buying them offline."
"No, I'm just wondering, isn't this supposed to be a movie that's bad for Tianyi? Why are so many people watching it every day?" Xiao Liang said.
"How would I know? But I thought the movie was pretty good. I don't know why, but I always felt that the actors in this movie were different from the ones I usually see."
As the two were talking, the boss came over and said, "Schedule a few more shows for Fuxing this afternoon."
Upon hearing this, the two looked at each other in bewilderment.
Meanwhile, the internet was abuzz with discussion about Zhou Tianyi's new movie.
"Holy crap, holy crap, I didn't know until I saw it, it really shocked me. This movie got my blood pumping."
"How dare Pingying Tianxia call this movie a bad film? Is his mouth coated with honey? His words are so foul!"
"Putting aside those four chilling moves, the other moves are quite pleasing to the eye. Is this what an action movie is? Compared to this, domestic martial arts films are just a pile of crap."
"..."
It received rave reviews.
Box office revenue surged.
The eyes of the masses are discerning.
Viewers who have seen the film have overwhelmingly praised it, with very few negative comments.
Nearly a month after its release, *Lucky Star Project* has achieved the following box office results:
How much is it?
Countless netizens eagerly await the record-breaking box office results.
Finally, the box office record has been broken.
It's 400 million!
With an average ticket price of 10 yuan, the Lucky Star Project grossed 400 million yuan!
"My God, if the ticket price is adjusted to 50 yuan, the box office will not only be 400 million, but 2 billion. This number is enough to rank it in the top 30 of the Chinese box office charts."
"Don't forget, the overseas box office is the most impressive part of this movie. If you include the overseas box office, then no other movie in China can compete with it."
"I'm getting more and more excited for the fan club's next movie. When will it be released?"
"What's ridiculous is that the two movies, 'Legend of Fei' and 'The Swordsman,' which were heavily promoted, didn't even gross a billion yuan together. Isn't that a slap in the face?"
"..."
In recent days, the Lucky Star Project, which had previously lost its popularity, has regained its momentum and dominated the trending topics for several days.
More and more people are digging up behind-the-scenes footage of Project Lucky Star.
When netizens saw the actual filming, they admired Zhou Tianyi even more.
At the same time, a video of an interview with Long was leaked.
This is the first video of Long being interviewed; Long was still a bit green at that time.
"It looks dangerous for you to film movies. Aren't you afraid of getting hurt?"
"Of course I'm afraid, but I'm still capable and very lucky. I've basically never been seriously injured, though I often get minor injuries."
"Since action movies are so threatening, why did you choose to watch them?"
"There's no other choice but to choose. I can't compete with other types of films. I'm sure you're aware of the preconceived notions about Chinese actors in the West, right?"
"I've heard a little about it."
"That's why I make these kinds of movies. Although they're dangerous, I think at least they let people know that China isn't without real actors. Don't my achievements speak for themselves?"
"..."
A video of a Western woman interviewing a dragon has cleared up the mystery for many.
Why did Dragon choose to make dangerous action movies instead of lighthearted films?
Because he knew that the only way to truly change Westerners' preconceived notions about China was to conquer them with overwhelming power.
Only then will they be truly convinced!
These words were not Zhou Tianyi's own thoughts, but rather what the system had told him.
Initially, Zhou Tianyi did not follow the system's advice to choose this type of film, but instead filmed famous movies from his previous life, such as "Inception" and "Jurassic Park".
But what happened? The box office was a disaster. Even if you do everything perfectly, they won't buy it.
Because many people believe that this kind of movie is something that Chinese people could never come up with, so even if they did make it, it wouldn't be very good.
That's why Zhou Tianyi ultimately chose to accept the system's advice and switch to making action movies.
Since Chinese films have no place in the world of cinema, he blazed a new trail for them.
In this interview, Zhou Tianyi rarely showed a sigh, because after so many years of working abroad, he has deeply witnessed the Westerners' contempt for China.
Netizens who saw the video fell silent. If given a choice, no actor would work this hard, right?
Moreover, Zhou Tianyi had already become the King of Asian Singers, but he abandoned everything to make movies, just to change the West's preconceived notions about China.
"Tianyi is really adorably silly."
Susan was deeply moved when she saw these videos.
"Yes, he's really adorably naive, but it's precisely because of this persistence that he became the godfather of action films and made the world rediscover China."
"Unfortunately, there are too few imported films now, so you can't possibly realize how much influence dragons have on the world."
"Maybe we'll realize it in the future, but don't be too surprised then."
