Chapter 171: The Blockbuster Era

It can be seen from the layout of the venue that the filmmakers have high hopes for "Hero" to win the award, and they did apply for the Olympic qualification in August.

is also a martial arts masterpiece directed by a well-known director, "Hero" is inevitably compared to "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

The first question the media asked was whether "Hero" would win the same Oscar as "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

Unlike Zhang Weiping's self-confidence, the national teacher is a little low-key, "I personally don't have much hope that the film will win awards, and I don't expect the miracle that happened in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" to be repeated. ”

Another reporter from Treasure Island asked the national teacher to talk about the advantages and disadvantages of "Hero" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

The national teacher happily replied: "It's not very objective to compare the good and bad of the two films, but I like "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" very much.

After the premiere of the film that year, I told Li that it was rare to see such an intellectual mood such as melancholy and loss in martial arts films.

In fact, I think these two films have two personalities, one south and one north, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is delicate and poetic in the south, and even the color is trendy, and "Hero" is like us northerners, lonely in the desert ......"

When answering questions from reporters, the leading actors are undoubtedly the most starry, well-dressed, and the most radiant Man Shen.

She didn't answer many questions and used more careful words, but her natural nobility invisibly compared the international chapter that answered reporters' questions from time to time but always made "humility" between words.

One can't help but imagine that one is mature and atmospheric, and the other is slightly immature and restrained, which coincides with the roles of the two of them in the film.

......

After the press conference, it was finally time for the release of "Hero".

The film is huge, imposing, beautiful, and almost accurate, the virtual and real design of martial arts is perfect, and the details taken care of in every shot have ingenuity.

The special effects are also enough to shock the current mainland audience, especially Qin Jun's terrifying arrow rain, which made many viewers at the scene can't help but lean back, wanting to avoid this murderous aura in the sky.

Chen Hao also watched it with relish, but Chen Hao also knew that this martial arts masterpiece, which was named the top ten best films of the year in 2004 by Time Magazine, was not liked by domestic film critics.

They feel that behind all the beautiful scenery and ancient folk customs, the charm of the characters is slightly insufficient.

Film critics think that the fallen leaves are bleak, the clothes are fluttering, and the yellow sand is dancing, but there is no chivalrous wandering space soaked in the bone marrow.

The performances of several superstars are also boundless because of the external form, which obscures the possibility of them performing a thorough chivalry from the heart, and they are only the brightest of the many dazzling symbols in the film.

But it was their constant criticism that won the attention of this film, which swept all over the country and set many box office records, which really opened the blockbuster era of Chinese films.

Moreover, it has won a lot of awards abroad and won numerous praises.

After the end of the movie, there was warm applause at the scene, no matter what the critics said, the audience's reaction was very direct, and it was obvious that everyone felt that "Hero" at least met expectations.

When he walked out of the venue, Chen Hao couldn't help but look back at the Great Hall, thinking of the premiere of "Hero", Chen Hao had to sigh, "Husband, it should be like this!"

In the future, I will have to hold such a grand premiere, so as to show my status and box office appeal.

After the premiere of "Hero", just like Chen Hao's previous life, the media received mixed reviews.

However, after its release on the 20th, "Hero" broke several box office records in a row.

The box office of the zero point field is 400,000, 31 million in the first three days of the first weekend, and the box office in 7 days exceeds 90 million! The fastest to break 100 million, the fastest to break 200 million, and the total box office to 248 million!

Won the 2002 box office championship, and the box office accounted for 26.9% of the total box office revenue in 2002!

A "Hero" has boosted the mainland film market, which has been in the doldrums for ten years! It is the foundation work of the era of Chinese blockbusters, and its influence can be called huge and far-reaching!

However, when "Hero" ravaged the mainland film market, Chen Hao had already left Huaxia with Xiaohu and rushed to the United States to prepare to shoot his second Hollywood movie.

"Is this the United States?" said Xiaohu excitedly as he looked at the City of Angels outside the car. Jiuhe Library

Chen Hao smiled when he heard this, "How do you feel?"

"It's true that it's more modern than the emperor, but it's not as powerful as imagined. Xiaohu said.

"Not to mention this, guns are legal to possess in the United States, and the security here is not as safe as in China, and there are basically no people on the streets at night.

Therefore, in addition to going to the crew with me, you can only stay in the crew honestly, otherwise I will not be able to find you in the first place when I encounter hooligan robbers or something. Chen Hao said with a serious face.

"I know, they're not children. The little fox pouted when he heard this.

Hearing this, Chen Hao continued, "I'm not trying to scare you, if something really happens, I don't know you well in the United States, I ......."

"Okay, don't worry, I'll follow you all the time!" said Xiaohu.

"That's good!" Chen Hao smiled and nodded, "However, forget it when you go to the toilet and take a shower!"

"Cut, it's not like I haven't seen it before!" the little fox pouted.

"Alright, I'll take you to the hotel first, meet Davis, and then we'll join the group tomorrow. Chen Hao said.

"Hmm!" the little fox nodded when he heard this.

After coming to the hotel, Chen Hao and Xiaohu had just started to clean up, and Davis came.

"Chen, you're finally here!" Davis hugged Chen Hao warmly.

The corners of Chen Hao's mouth twitched, and he symbolically hugged Davis, with a look of displeasure, and the little fox covered his mouth and snickered.

"And this is our heroine!?" Davis asked with a smile.

"Hello, I'm Xiaohu, it's nice to meet you. Xiaohu said in English.

"Wow, I didn't expect you to speak English so well. Davis said in surprise.

"Thank you!" said the little fox laugh.

Chen Hao smiled when he heard this, high school students in Huaxia should study better, and their English should be good, not to mention that Chen Hao had already told Xiaohu to practice English more.

For this reason, he did not hesitate to serve as Xiaohu's home foreign language teacher, and gave Xiaohu a lot of strange knowledge!

"By the way, Davis, how is the box office of Chainsaw?" asked Chen Hao.

"Now Saw has grossed more than $54.4 million, and it has no problem to reach $55 million in the end. Davis laughed.

"That's good. Chen Hao nodded when he heard this, "The actors of the movie have also been found!"

"Of course, there are no actors on the list you gave that are difficult to invite, in fact, I suggest that you can invite a more famous male lead, so that the box office should be higher. Davis said.

"No, these actors are something I've thought about. Chen Hao refused, "By the way, the action director Alan Ferraz has been invited, right?"

"You don't have to worry about me. Davis said.

Chen Hao nodded when he heard this, the new film is an action movie, different from the usual Hollywood action movies in the past.

What Chen Hao wants is a feeling of being fast and sharp, killing with one hit, plus fast editing, it looks stable and ruthless, and it is very cool!

Of course, this style has not appeared in Hollywood, and the previous "Spy Shadow" was such an action style.

And the one Chen Hao named to invite is the action director of "Spy Shadow".
