Chapter 761: Let You Watch the Movie Again

If we must give "The Warlords" an accurate positioning, at least the people who have just watched the movie have not been able to extract a word that they think is appropriate from their minds. The main line of this movie is clear and the veins are single. It seems that the amount of information is not large, but it actually has a very large amount of information. The epitome of the background of that era is fully displayed in one movie.

Such a movie can make the audience enjoy it and not feel boring at all. This is success. It can also make the audience applaud the performance of the actors frequently, which is even more successful.

The audience of the second show, the best time period is more than ten o'clock in the evening. The ticket sales of the theaters that can be counted can hardly see the screening halls with empty tickets. The cinemas in major cities across the country all line up to check tickets, forming a rare long queue for watching movies.

The audience of the third show after midnight received feedback from the audience of the premiere. Some decided to wait until after midnight to watch, and some got the news outside or at home, and rushed to the theater to buy the movie with full expectations, waiting for midnight to watch this movie that has received rave reviews in a short time.

The main creative staff followed Chen Kexin to stand on the small stage in front of the screen. The applause and cheers from the audience gave them the most authentic answer. In Hong Kong, such a scene is sacred, especially since Chen Kexin invited many sharp-tongued film critics and reporters this time to reproduce the effect of the premiere of Hong Kong movies in the 1980s and 1990s. Good is good, and perfunctory things should not happen. It will embarrass you and me.

"Thank you, thank you everyone."

I have said what I should say, and there is nothing to say now, just a simple thank you. The stars who came to support the film came forward to shake hands with Chen Kexin and the main creative staff and hugged them to congratulate the upcoming success of this film. Among them, everyone gave Chen Hao a thumbs up when they met him face to face.

The last scene of Ling Chi was so wonderful. If a character can be shown in such a monologue, then in everyone's cognition, it is the standard to win the best actor and actress award. Such a monologue lasting several minutes, a long shot locked on the close-up of the face, no sound assistance, no other actors to set off, no other story, just this scene, balanced advancement, relying on Chen Hao's performance to support everything. When the camera pulled away at the end and the mystery was revealed, everyone did not suddenly realize it, but had an inexplicable sadness. Jiang Wuyang is the greatest portrayal of the victims of that era. His personality and characteristics are a group of people who are very representative of that era.

Such a young man, no wonder Chen Kexin dared to present this scene in a supporting role. Although it was meant to steal the show, throughout the film, Chen Hao always performed very well and successfully assisted the two brothers. No matter how many scenes he had, no matter how outstanding his performance was, Jiang Wuyang's entire role was even if he broke away from and merged with Zhao Erhu and Pang Qingyun. So no matter how outstanding he was, no one would think he was the protagonist of the play, but only a derivative supporting role of the two male protagonists.

The film critics, filmmakers, media reporters, and those senior moviegoers at the scene, everyone felt that they had a lot to say, and they couldn't wait to pick up a pen or type on their mobile phones and tablets to spit out their impressions after watching the movie.

This is a rare and wonderful film. The actors performed well, and the appeal of the whole story is secondary. What makes professionals feel comfortable is that everyone can understand it. It does not deliberately cater to the tastes of overseas audiences because of the concept of overseas distribution. In the face of the historical weight that should be there, although the film is only performed in a small range of one city and one place, it has not lost the weight that history should have. Such changes are most recognized by everyone. The discussion and changes about this issue that appeared in the crew in the middle of the filming were also reported by the outside world. Now it seems that the director and actors have won. They have obtained the persistence they want, so that this film can present everything with the weight that history should have and the truth of historical facts.

In fact, in another theater, the distributor and investor also specially invited a group of foreign audiences to watch the English version of this film. The changes in the shooting method and content at the beginning put a huge pressure on this side. The investment of more than 300 million yuan, in the end, it has to rely on the domestic box office support, and there is not much profit. After all, there are only a few movies with a box office of more than 10 billion or 20 billion. You can't expect each movie to set a target of more than 10 billion or even higher when it comes out.

The overseas market has always been a strategic aspect of the film's future profit system. The fact that the story does not cater to the overseas market has created tremendous pressure on people, fearing that the film will not get the due value in the overseas market in the end.

The premiere was arranged for foreign audiences. During the process, someone secretly observed and found that they watched very seriously. Action themes have always been China's specialty. This time, the three protagonists and all the action scenes in the war are all simple, powerful, fast and explosive. This method is more in line with the appreciation of Westerners. It is very enjoyable to watch, especially the display of several weapons. Each one has a different feeling. Foreign audiences are very excited. The advancement of the whole plot did not make them feel boring. Although there are some parts that they don't understand, it doesn't matter. Even if they don't understand history, they can just watch the story of the three brothers. For domestic audiences, this story is a remake. They know all the plots and the main line is clear. But in the eyes of foreign audiences, everything is fresh and looks very enjoyable.

At the end of the film, the applause was also very enthusiastic. A woman between brothers killed her sister-in-law and killed her brother. These stories have their unique appeal to foreign audiences. They think they are very novel, especially Chen Hao's performance at the end, which shocked them. They know Chen Hao. He just shone on the Grammy stage and won the Best Pop Singer and Best Song of the Year awards. I didn't expect him to be so good at acting.

They were not very familiar with Lingchi. In the foreign version, after the announcement that Jiang Wuyang would be Lingchi, a subtitle and a paragraph were added next to it to explain what Lingchi was.

Even with the explanation, foreign audiences did not expect that Chen Hao would have such a long monologue performance. In their cognition, the bloody scenes were graded, and they could be filmed very cruelly to stimulate the audience's adrenaline.

There was no such choice here, just a few minutes of close-up of the face, no language, no story, no barriers between Eastern and Western cultures, just performance transmission. To be honest, it was this performance that impressed foreign audiences the most, and they could resonate the most strongly. When the camera was pulled away, combined with the previous explanation and the display of the tip of the iceberg in the picture, the shock of revealing the mystery was more shocking to foreign audiences than to domestic audiences. The whole audience was full of exclamations and praises, thinking it was too incredible. Chen Hao's performance just now appeared in their minds, and they had an inexplicable urge to watch it again. After I know the answer, I will take a closer look at Chen Hao's performance just now, which will definitely be very enjoyable.

"So, that look in his eyes meant that, I misunderstood."

"He cried, I didn't understand why he cried, it turned out that it was just the natural reaction of the body after the pain was unbearable, I wondered why his eyes were so cold at that time. Crying was not his intention."

Foreign audiences recognized this film, and they praised Chen Hao's performance more.

Although there are no data from the first foreign show, the crew sent people to observe the North American market. This world premiere is also very impressive, and it was shown on 200 screens in North America. Although there is no screen for this movie in the CBD area of ​​​​big cities, there are screening halls in the Chinese area and some ordinary cities to play it. If the Chinese are not counted, the ticket sales are 30%, and if the Chinese are counted, it can reach 80%, which is a remarkable achievement. Now it depends on the reputation in the future.

Domestically, the film market was bombarded with atomic bombs. The performances of the main characters were all amazing, especially Chen Hao's performance. With his age and experience, everyone's recognition of him was raised by several levels. If everyone only knew that he was too talented in music and it was a waste of talent to make movies, no one would say that after this film came out.

Chen Kexin's interview at the Academy Awards was also brought out, and the interviews of several people at the airport were also brought out. At that time, everyone's praise for Chen Hao was still confusing. Now it is different. After watching Chen Hao's final performance, countless viewers really wanted to watch it again, otherwise I would really be sorry for Haozi's performance for a few minutes, especially those who did not see that Chen Hao's performance for a few minutes was to endure the torture of lingchi. They felt that they were so short-sighted. It was explained clearly before and after, and Haozi's acting skills were so good. Or they developed the habit of watching popcorn movies and did not watch movies seriously. This time, it was not so profound that you could not understand it. You did not watch it seriously at all.

In four hours that night, the box office in the mainland was 60 million, and the box office in Hong Kong was 2 million.

On the second day, the first 24-hour box office day, the mainland box office was 120 million. The Hong Kong box office was 8 million.

On the third day, the second day of the May Day holiday, the mainland box office was 110 million. The Hong Kong box office was 8.3 million.

On the second day, all the staff from production and distribution to investment and finally to the crew were no longer anxious to wait for the box office data from overseas. We digested it ourselves, and this film was likely to get box office data that satisfied all parties.
