Chapter 214 Movies That Made It into Hollywood
"Dragon's true skill is so great that even a boxing champion would admit defeat. What's the point of steel bars then?"
"Don't assume that martial arts stars don't know real kung fu; Lung is one of the best."
"Zhou Tianyi, how many more skills are you hiding from us?"
"..."
The netizens who were originally condemning the steel bars suddenly changed their tune.
They always subconsciously distinguish between Zhou Tianyi and Long, but in reality, they are the same person.
If Long Hui has real kung fu, does that mean Zhou Tianyi also has it? So, just how many skills does this guy still have that he hasn't shown yet?
Fortunately, Zhou Tianyi didn't have a Weibo account, otherwise his homepage would have been bombarded by countless fans at this time.
Inside a room.
Zhou Zheng stared at the box office records with a gloomy expression.
dismal.
It was a terrible sight.
This is his worst box office performance ever.
If he had just made this movie casually, he wouldn't have cared so much about it.
As long as the grades are acceptable, that's fine.
But it isn't.
In addition to spending a huge sum of money, he also invited many popular celebrities and used his extensive network of contacts.
However, the box office results not only failed to meet expectations, but plummeted to an unbearable level.
This was a blatant disgrace to him.
The main factor contributing to this box office failure was Zhou Tianyi's two films.
Why can't you just focus on singing in the music industry? Why do you have to try and get a piece of the film industry?
It's one thing to take a share of the pie, but at least you shouldn't be releasing such an excellent work and disrupting the market.
We finally managed to lower the bar for audience tastes, but the appearance of these films of yours is like a direct attack from a lower dimension.
If you're going to make a movie, why work so hard?
Even a dog wouldn't fight as hard as you!
At this moment, Zhou Zheng was in a terrible mood. Not only had he not made any money, but he had also exhausted all the connections he had built up.
"I'm feeling so bad, I imagine Lao Yu is no exception."
Thinking this, Zhou Zheng made a phone call to Yu Hai.
"Hello."
With just one simple word, Zhou Zheng realized that Yu Hai felt the same way he did.
"Old Yu, are you interested in talking?"
What should we talk about?
“Singers should stick to their own territory instead of venturing into the film industry, so that they know that there are some things they shouldn’t touch.”
"good!"
...
Amidst a chorus of condemnation from netizens, the third Dragon movie has arrived without anyone noticing.
The movie's promotion alone is enough to make netizens eagerly anticipate it: "It's touted as the first super movie to break into Hollywood!"
Part One.
Break into Hollywood.
These two gimmicks alone have made countless netizens eagerly anticipate the event.
Nothing more.
Because in recent years, Hollywood blockbusters have left a very deep impression on them.
Back when special effects were still cheap and basic, Hollywood blockbusters caused a sensation when they were first introduced to China.
The powerful visual impact and ultimate visual enjoyment left viewers feeling both exhilarated and deeply ashamed.
This is the first time I've seen a movie like this. It's like a country bumpkin coming to the city – tense, exciting, and yet I feel inferior.
So when this promotional headline came out, it immediately became a trending topic on major platforms.
It became a hit even before it aired.
The number of reservations on the platform alone reached 30 million.
A film data analysis company once conducted a survey and found that at least 99% of those who made reservations would actually buy tickets to watch the film.
In other words, with 30 million reservations, at least 29 million people will actually go to the event in person.
The movie ticket price is 50 yuan, which is the minimum price. Even if we calculate based on 20 million yuan, the box office on the first day will exceed 100 million yuan.
It's not uncommon for films to gross over 100 million yuan on their opening day, but in the entire Chinese film industry, no more than ten have achieved this feat. Such success requires not only a good director, actors, and promotional efforts, but also a bit of luck.
After learning of this data, various institutions made predictions, and the situation looked very promising, as if the new movie had already grossed over 100 million yuan before it was even released.
Of course, this had no impact on the fan club, which officially started selling tickets on the last three days.
On the internet.
"I used to think that concert tickets were hard to get, but I didn't expect that movie tickets would be hard to get too."
"Isn't tomorrow a workday? Why are so many people trying to buy tickets with me?"
“I live in the city center, and there are seven or eight cinemas around. As a result, all the cinemas were sold out for the evening screenings. It’s impossible to watch a movie if I want to.”
"..."
Unlike those online who failed to snag tickets, Pingying Tianxia not only managed to get two, but managed to get two tickets.
He plans to watch it twice, which is part of his professional ethics as a film critic. Watching a good movie once is never enough, as the details are difficult to uncover.
As a film critic, he not only needs to see the film as soon as possible, but also to understand it thoroughly and uncover its meaning and foreshadowing.
Tonight, he followed the crowd into the cinema. His eyes were drawn to the advertisements. After finding his seat, he waited patiently.
My eyes kept glancing at the screen, and I felt a little expectant. Fortunately, the commercials ended quickly, and the movie started playing.
This is a style from a few years ago, which is normal. This movie is from a few years ago, so he watched it patiently.
Skipping the opening credits, as he watched, his brows furrowed, and the anticipation on his face gradually faded, replaced by confusion.
"Perhaps it's because I wasn't really into the story at the beginning, so it wasn't very good."
