Chapter 474, They Are Still Heroes

"October Siege" has encountered a problem. So far, it has indeed encountered a problem.

This problem can be expected from the beginning.

That is a commercial film of the same type. With the reputation and box office of Avengers, and a movie that has both exploded, it must have captured the first attention of most people.

The first wave of public opinion was still at the box office, which was a visible advantage.

In the overwhelming public opinion coverage, basically no shadow of other movies can be found.

Public opinion is too dominated.

The IP with a strong fan base coupled with the eagerly awaited expectations and quality made his first wave very powerful.

Very powerful.

"I am satisfied with this box office performance. There are not many requirements. I feel that it is very good now."

As an investor, Xie Qingya didn't have much to say at this moment.

The box office performance on the first day was not satisfactory. It seemed to be relatively up to standard.

It can only be said that if it had not met such a big name as the Avengers, the box office performance would have been about 20% better.

This is the result of being affected by high-traffic things.

Having one superpower and many strong players is a thing of the past, now the only thing left is to be at the top.

An era in which an overlord takes over 70% of the resources.

"As long as the quality can meet the standards, it's a good start. If the market really can't breed good-quality originals, there's nothing we can do about it."

Xie Qingya was very open-minded.

"Good quality cannot be defined by a few words. It is chosen by the people with their own money and movie votes."

Wang Chen smiled slightly beside him, as if he was determined to win.

Quality is a relative thing.

Even if you now catch up with the quality of Hollywood movies a few years ago, so what? Times have changed now. The same price, the same time, the same movie-watching experience, and the ability to choose higher configurations, then why should I choose the quality of your Hollywood movies from a few years ago?

This is also Wang Chen’s attitude towards domestic films, a feeling that he feels that no matter what, domestic films cannot catch up.

Your domestic films are improving, but are Hollywood films regressing? They are also making progress, and they are also moving forward.

Both sides are climbing up each other.

Music, visual effects, plot and character design, Hollywood is definitely ahead without hesitation.

Wang Chen, who has been exposed to many foreign works, also knows that they are also in their own field, amidst mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and have achieved great status and box office.

Hollywood productions also include trash buried in the sand.

There are also culled bodies.

And how could the king who emerged from among these be weak?

Xie Qingya also understands this, but she also firmly believes in one thing: there will always be a hero who will open up an era, maybe now or in the future, someone who may appear.

Until this moment.

Wang Chen said this was a great dream of the Spring and Autumn Period.

Xie Qingya said this could happen.

"If you were really so confident, you wouldn't use any high-priced bait with suspenseful subsidies." Xie Qingya spoke to Wang Chen's heart.

This made Wang Chen suffocate slightly.

“Can’t I really give to art?”

"is that you?"

"That's not you."

Xie Qingya said.

"Just watch, I believe there is someone who can do it."

At this moment, Xie Qingya was thinking about Li Yun. Unbelievably, what he imagined in his mind was not the kings of China Entertainment, the directors and actors who stood at the highest peak.

But a young man.

A young man who is confident and strong, but whose mental state is not that good.

A young man who made her feel a little excited.

Just when Wang Chen wanted to say something, his assistant whispered a few words in his ear.

Wang Chen's expression changed slightly.

"How is that possible?"

Weibo is now the main battlefield for public opinion on the platform of major film and television companies. It is equivalent to a know-it-all in the world, and the rankings it gives are absolutely authoritative in this era.

Now occupying the No. 1 hot search spot is the Avengers.

The second place is Iron Man.

The third place is the captain of the United States.

Then there's the Loki brotherhood, the Incredible Hulk, and the Black Widow's relationship. Of course, the character Hawkeye is also on the list because he's too ignorant.

How did this archer who could only draw a bow and shoot arrows get dragged into the team of aliens chasing their husbands? Because he is too ignorant, Mr. Eagle Eye is still very popular even after he became a joke.

Anyway.

They basically dominate the list.

The characters, the plot, the movie itself.

These elements have become the elements that now occupy the entire hot search, basically occupying the entire page.

It's basically an invincible stance.

A gesture recognized by all.

This seemed to be an expected thing. But now, an unexpected face has entered the top 10 of the hot search list.

a song.

Nowadays, when Hollywood movies are sweeping the market, a song suddenly appears in the ninth place of hot searches, a song called "Chi Ling".

An audio. Audio recorded in a movie theater.

"This is the theme song of "The Besieged City in October". The song that appears at the end of the film makes me feel extremely amazed. In order to record this ending song, I specially watched the film twice. It can be said that I was deeply impressed. It was amazing to the bone."

Unlike the movie itself, you need at least two hours to appreciate its beauty.

But the song is different. You only need two minutes to experience all its feelings.

There are many elements for a song to become popular-among them, the most important element is only one, that is, it is good to listen to and can touch people's hearts.

"It is sung in the style of Kunqu Opera, but the lyrics are not Kunqu Opera lyrics, but like modern songs."

A good song, the theme song of "The Besieged City in October".

A new song, a new singing style.

"Personally, I think this song is not the best to listen to simply. You have to match it with the movie "The Besieged City in October". After watching the movie, you will know what the essence of the song is."

The spread of heat.

It only takes an opportunity.

"What?"

In Beijing, at Huaying's headquarters, Xie Qingya and Chen Kexin were busy with the following matters

Regarding the copyright-related operations of "The Siege of October".

And the following online broadcast channels are all things they need to do.

Generally speaking.

The first-day performance of a work determines its upper limit and the limit it can reach. Generally speaking, it is like this.

At this time.

But because of the music, it rushed to the hot search.

Generally speaking, when the entire Weibo hot search is dominated by the minions of "Avengers", the appearance of "Red Ling" is like a heavy bomb, which has blown a hole in the hot search list that was originally like a stagnant pool of water.

Blown a big hole.

"This song is really nice."

At this time, Xie Qingya was not a latecomer. She thought the song was nice at the beginning, and it was very compatible with the movie itself.

Combined with the new national style of Kunqu Opera

"This. Let Li Yun take the bag, is it the right choice?" At this time, Chen Kexin was a little stunned and late.

He originally thought it would be a failure point.

But now, it seems different. The songs that are simply spread, once people listen to them, it's like conducting splitting.

The heat exploded!

And the continuous explosion, there is also a strange chemical reaction, that is, Li Yun, the director, the leading actor, the singer and lyricist of the theme song, all have the same name.

All appeared in this place.

It makes people feel shocked.

This Li Yun, where did he come from?

The director, the leading actor and the singing work are all done for you!

At this time, the public's impression of him is still the powerful Lu Bu and Zhuge Kongming, and now he has the impression of a director.

A singer.

A singer who is extremely powerful.

What else can't he do?

At this moment, the song "Chi Ling" has become popular with "October Besieged City".

Even if he participated in the movie "October Besieged City" for this song,

it seems that it is not something difficult to accept.

The speed of the spread of the song is very fast.

"I didn't expect this to happen."

Looking at the situation in front of him, Li Yun knew that October Siege was brought to the rhythm and heat by this song.

Unexpectedly, the first wave of explosions was actually Chi Ling.

This song.

"Music is the most primitive art, or the very beginning, to ignite people's hearts!"

At this moment, the superstar was also excited about the ability of music.

The power of music.

As the original appearance of art.

He achieved extraordinary results and achieved extraordinary publicity and promotion effects.

A piece of music made the whole movie popular.

The box office on the second day directly reached 70 million. Although it was still a little worse than the next door "Avengers", the speed of catching up is now faster and faster.

And public opinion is like a snowball.

But when the first wave of box office came out.

When the first wave of public opinion came out.

Many things were broken by themselves.

For example, it is a low-profile version of the Avengers.

At this moment.

Among those who entered the cinema was Jiang Zhengde, who had just come out of the Avengers set next door.

He had returned to China from abroad.

The first thing he did was to watch the Avengers, and the second thing he did was to watch the movie of his old employer.

That is, October Besieged, the movie he thought was too vulgar.

Because he listened to the song Chi Ling.

He decided to enter the movie set.

He didn't believe it.

He absolutely didn't believe that October Besieged could do anything good.

Because he had only read the script.

Until he finished watching the whole movie.

He shed tears because of the sacrifices of those characters, because they shed their blood.

They seemed to be really alive.

Really living in this world.

From gamblers to beggars, everyone supported the revolution and the cause of blood and fire for different reasons.

They understood the revolution.

Jiang Zhengde was stunned. In the original version of October Besieged City, in the original script, they existed to make people cry. Except for Chen Shaobai, Li Yutang and Yan Xiaoguo, everyone's goal of participating was to use their own selfish desires as the driving force.

They all used their own desires as a driving force.

To participate in this protection.

It can be said that the finished film is completely "unrecognizable" from the script he got.

Completely different.

After watching this movie, he heard the song Chi Ling, the song that was popular on the Internet and claimed to replace his position as the new national style.

It was because of this that he returned to China to watch this movie and listen to this song.

After listening to this song, the vivid characters in the movie just now burst out in his mind.

They are just like what the song said.

Never forget to worry about the country.

Even if you are humble.

You have to burn yourself, surrounded by thousands of people like you in Guangsha, with a different fate from the old times.

This is the reason and reason for their sacrifice.

When Jiang Zhengde left the cinema and returned home, he was in a daze.

This master of Chinese style no longer wanted to comment on this song, nor on himself.

Douban's rating also gave the answer.

Unblocked, rating.

"Avengers" scored 9.0 points. As a commercial blockbuster, it has the achievements of an art film. Among the commercial films released in China, his achievements are unmatched, and the box office results have even reached a peak.

This time, he is destined to be the global box office champion.

But at the same time.

In the domestic ratings.

"October Besieged City" scored 9.2 points.

It exploded.

The number of people who rated it is not much less than that of the Avengers.

And the label rating.

It is also a superhero movie.

The label selected by 100,000 people.

The same label as the Avengers.

These people are the superheroes in their hearts.

Hollywood.

Disney's headquarters.

The Russell brothers and Joe Marie are in the office at this moment.

The Chinese market has always been highly valued.

There is no doubt about this.

No one would think of giving up a supermarket of 1.2 billion people, so research on the Chinese market has always been imminent.

Of course.

For the Chinese market, this market is very important, but Chinese filmmakers are not important. They are like the synonym of backwardness.

They pick up some unwanted themes and movies.

They can't make international works.

At least they can't make international commercial works. In the industry and Hollywood, Chinese local filmmakers have always been some jokes.

Just like monkeys.

This time, the Russell brothers asked Joe Mary to go to China, mainly to let her relax. Market research is just an excuse.

And Joe Mary seems to have brought back some opinions.

"I went to see a movie called October Siege, the background is the Xinhai Revolution in their country, and it is also a story of a group of superheroes saving and sacrificing for their own ideas."

"Joe Mary, the word superhero is not so simple to use."

"I know but they are superheroes."

At this time, the smile on Russell's face disappeared.

"You mean"

"After Iron Man takes off his armor, he is still Iron Man, and Captain America is still Captain America even without super serum, and that's why they are superheroes."

This is the secret of the Russo brothers.

The biggest factor in their filmmaking.

Many people think that Iron Man's success lies in his cool special effects armor, and Captain America's success is due to Evans' sexy buttocks.

The Russo brothers will not deny it, they will even publicize it with great fanfare. Yes, their success is due to the cool armor and super serum.

But at this time, Joe Mary did say.

"And the people in the October Siege are the same. They took off their skin."

"Still heroes."
