On the evening of the 22nd, UME Huaxing Cinema, Li Qian and Tong Liya came here to watch a movie, Li Press's "Life of Pi".

is also a big director who came back from Hollywood, although the big production "Hulk" made by Li Press a few years ago also failed miserably at the box office, but Wu Yusen can't compare with Li Press.

"The Incredible Hulk" costs 160 million, and the global box office is still 240 million.

Wu Yusen's "Wind Whisperer" costs a little lower, 120 million, but the global box office is less than 80 million, which is not a little bit worse.

Moreover, two years later, Li Press won the Oscar for Best Director with "Brokeback Mountain".

Wu Yusen can be said to be unable to get along in Hollywood, and he returned to China without the opportunity to shoot blockbusters.

Li Press is not like this, "Life of Pi" also costs as much as 120 million US dollars, a proper big production.

In terms of word-of-mouth in China, Li Press is also much stronger than Wu Yusen, and this time the new film is released, there are still a lot of audiences who support it.

After entering, it was filled one after another.

IMAX3D hall with 100% occupancy.

Because it is an adapted movie, many fans have known the original book before, and probably know what story it is telling.

One person, one tiger, drifting on the sea for more than 200 days is already very attractive.

"How do you say this movie is made, is it just a battle of wits and courage with a tiger on a boat?"

Tong Liya was also very curious, and kept asking Li Qian.

"It's all about to start, and I keep asking. Li Qian grabbed a handful of popcorn and put it in his mouth, he was a little hungry after walking all the way just now.

Tong Liya was very dissatisfied with Li Qian's perfunctory answer, snatched the popcorn that Li Qian had already handed to her mouth, and threw it into her mouth.

However, after the patch advertisement was over, the movie officially began, and I was concentrating on watching the movie.

It's just that at the beginning, the growth experience of an Indu teenager with mixed religious beliefs was a little boring, which made her a little disappointed.

However, after the family moved and left Yindu by boat, the big ship was shipwrecked at sea, except for Pai, all the family members were killed, and Pai was lucky to survive by landing on the hatch cloth of the lifeboat, and he was on the same boat as a hyena, a zebra with a broken leg, a female orangutan, and an adult Bengal tiger.

At this point, it is instantly fascinating.

The rafting experience of each day became more and more fantastical day by day, with the hyena biting the orangutan, eating the zebra alive, and the tiger killing the hyena.

What follows is the story of Pie and the tiger drifting at sea, surviving and dealing with Richard Parker.

Knowing that he could not defeat the tiger, Pi finally chose to face the drifting life with him, collecting fresh water, catching fish and shrimp, and using all his survival skills at sea to feed the tiger and keep himself alive.

Storms, shark attacks, and all sorts of exciting and bloody dangers are also exciting.

After Pie and Tiger ran out of food, they were ready to die in despair. Miraculously, they drifted with the boat to a paradise island, and after a short rest, he found it to be a cannibal island.

The terrified Pie and the tiger begin drifting again until they are rescued on a beach in Mexico, where the tiger disappears without looking back.

It's wonderful!

Tong Liya sighed with emotion, she thought that the sea drifting experience of one person and one tiger would be a little boring, but this was not the case at all.

At the end of the plot, Tong Liya also relaxed as Pie returned to land.

However, in the immediate interview, Pie told another story.

In fact, there were no animals on the lifeboat, just a cook, a sailor with a broken leg, pie and his mother.

The cook kills and eats the sailor, then the mother, and finally Pi kills and eats the sailor as well.

In the end, only Pie survived.

"Shhh

Although it was only a few short words, which came out of Pie's mouth, Tong Liya felt a chill, even though there was heating in the screening room.

The expressions on his faces were the same as those of the two people who interviewed them, with a look of horror.

......

"The story that was made up later is too terrifying!"

Coming out of the movie theater, Tong Liya still has a toothache, it is really compared to the fantasy journey in the front, the story told by the party in the back is a bit infiltrating, especially after thinking about it in combination with the previous process, the more I think about it, the more scary it becomes.

"The first 120 minutes are the stuff, and the last few minutes are the facts. Li Qian said.

"How is it possible, it won't be a horror movie. ”

"From the most basic logic, the latter story makes more sense, a tiger and a child coexist peacefully for 200 pairs of heaven, which is illogical to a teenager. ”

"But this is a movie, the title says fantasy drifting!" Tong Liya and Li Qian argued.

Li Qian shook his head, "Li Ji hinted earlier, when the big ship encountered a storm, when Pai jumped on the lifeboat, a Chinese crew member shouted in Chinese, "Zebra, Zebra!", and then Zebra jumped into the lifeboat.

When the mother on the boat wanted to change the vegetarian dishes, the cook behaved extremely bad and banter, which was just in line with the hyena's fierce and vicious character.

The orangutan drifted for a long time before finding a lifeboat to get on board with the help of Pi, and only the orangutan got on board with the help of Pi.

After the orangutan is bitten to death by the hyena, the tiger suddenly appears and counterattacks the hyena, which is consistent with the order in which Pie finally has no patience to kill the cook after Pie's mother is killed by the cook in the second story. ”

"Shhhhh

Tong Liya gasped again, and was more and more terrifying when Li Qianyi said it, it seemed that this was really the case.

"Also, didn't you notice that the island resembles a woman's body, I guess his mother's body was eaten by him, or it wouldn't have lasted that long. ”

"Gross... cough cough cough ......"

Tong Liya was sick to her stomach for a while, and hurriedly covered her mouth, and said again and again, "Don't say it, I'm going to vomit out dinner." ”

Li Qian shrugged, "And the tiger named Richard Parker, a cruise ship crashed in 1884, only three crew members and a little boy survived, when drifting on the sea, the three crew members ate the little boy's sand sculpture, and the little boy was called Richard Parker......"

.......

When I came back from watching a movie, I almost threw up, and I complained about myself when I vomited, and Li Qian was also tired.

I coaxed for a while, promising not to tell such a disgusting story again, so I was fine.

After going out all night, I was a little tired, and Li Qian didn't care about the box office of the two movies or anything, so he went to bed early.

Li Qian doesn't care, but the industry is waiting for the box office of the two blockbusters to be released on the first day, after all, these are the first two movies to be released during the Chinese New Year.

As an investor and issuer, Huang Zhongjun is of course the most anxious one.

Although the 3D version of "2012" is as expected, the box office will not become a climate, he has always had enough confidence in the movie before, but he can't help but worry when it comes.

At 12 o'clock, the Distribution and Projection Association counted the data of each theater chain and sent it to all units of the association.

Huayang Media is also a member of the association, and Huang Zhongjun received the email as soon as possible.

56 million!

"Zodiac" box office on the first day was 56 million!

Seeing this number, Huang Zhongjun breathed a sigh of relief, and his heart could finally be put down.

followed by a casual glance at "Life of Pi", which was only 13 million on the first day.

Cut!

is not as high as the first day of 3D "2012", which is not at the box office in Huang Zhongjun's eyes at all, and the corners of his mouth pull a trace of disdain.

The two blockbusters together are not enough for "Zodiac", and now Huang Zhongjun is finally really relaxed, and he is ready to attack "Truman's World" next.

......

The first day of 56 million "Zodiac" made the Chinese New Year market completely hot, and Huayang Media, which had been silent for nearly two years in the past, once again let the industry see the scenery of the first private enterprise.

The box office will continue to rise in the next few days, after all, kung fu comedies are very suitable for the Chinese New Year, although Cheng Long is old, but from the moment he appeared, the continuous mountain speed skating footage told everyone that Cheng Long can still play.

Although those light movements in the past are much clumsier in the film.

On Friday the next day, the box office exceeded 60 million and got 63 million.

On Saturday, the box office directly broke through the 70 million mark!

On Sunday, although the box office has fallen, it still got 64 million.

The total box office in four days is as high as 253 million!

is a satisfactory enough number, the reputation of the movie is not bad, and the follow-up also makes Huang Zhongjun look forward to it even more.

However, the only thing that made him unhappy was that "Youth Pi", which only had 13 million on the first day, got a box office of 110 million in four days over the weekend, which was a complete leap forward.

However, fortunately, "Zodiac" did well the next week, still winning 270 million, and the total box office came to 523 million.

broke 500 million, the third Chinese movie to break 500 million this year.

The continuous big sales made Huang Zhongjun overjoyed, sweeping away the previous haze, even if "Youth Pi" had a better reputation, it got 180 million the next week, and the total box office in two weeks also reached 290 million.

This movie, which has a bad reputation and has been rated as a masterpiece on the Internet, can be regarded as something that Huang Zhongjun did not expect.

But fortunately, it's not the opponent of "Zodiac".

Huang Zhongjun, who is in a good mood, can even think on the bright side, and if there is one more blockbuster movie, the pressure on "Truman's World" will be even greater, which is not a good thing.

The 3D version of "2012", which was released two days earlier, got 90 million in the first week, and only 30 million remained in the second week, which is comparable to the Philippine Diving Brigade.

As for the newly released costume blockbuster "The King's Feast" this week, the box office in four days was close to 40 million.

This data is quite okay in normal times, but in the Lunar New Year file, it is obviously not enough to see.

Not only did Huang Zhongjun not take "The King's Feast" seriously, but the industry did not care about this newly released blockbuster, and all eyes were focused on "Truman's World", which was officially released in three days.

The time has entered December, and the Chinese New Year war is about to come to the most critical time, and it is also the most worrying moment.

In the past half month since "Zodiac" harvested the box office, the publicity offensive of "Truman's World" has become bigger and bigger, and the trailers have been released, which has also made the audience's eagerness to see the movie more and more urgent.

On December 4, week 2, "Truman's World" released the final trailer.

The ultimate trailer is extraordinary at first glance.

The official Weibo of "Truman's World" was announced the day before yesterday, and the final trailer will be released at eight o'clock tonight.

Almost at the same time, at eight o'clock in the evening, when the trailer was just released, countless fans across the country instantly clicked on the video.

In the dark night, in a small city without a steel forest, countless people poured into the streets.

From a bird's-eye view, in the streets and alleys of the entire city, countless people gathered together and walked forward in groups, as if searching for something.

"Bang!"

Suddenly, four huge beams of light shone over the city from the distant sky, illuminating the otherwise dark city as if it were day.

Four beams of light began to swing in different directions in a regular manner, like a searchlight, trying to keep something hidden.

Just as the beam suddenly appeared, the entire city erupted in a uniform shout, all shouting the same name.

"Truman!"

"Truman!"

"Truman!"

In a small town, tens of thousands, or even more than 100,000 people, gather in groups, shouting the name of the same person.

At the same time, with the four giant searchlights shining from the endless sky, it was obvious that he was looking for someone.

No, it's not looking, it's searching!

"I'll rub!"

This scene made countless viewers who were watching the trailer feel creepy and couldn't help but scold.

The shouts sounded like some kind of requiem to your ears.

Four huge searchlights from the distant sky make every corner of the city nowhere to hide, and at the same time make the audience feel chills in their hearts.

The light that can illuminate the whole city, although it drives away the night, is so dazzling to the eyes!

The trailer didn't last long, starting with the giant searchlights lighting up the entire city and the uniform shouts, which were only five seconds long.

Plus before, the entire final trailer adds up to exactly eight seconds.

After the trailer was played, all the viewers looked at the screen and were stunned.

That's it?

That's it?

I rub!

After waiting for two days for the final trailer, it was only eight seconds, and I don't know how many viewers began to curse the street again.

"I'll rub, Li Qian, can you be a little shorter, just eight seconds, rabbits are stronger than you!"

"The old paper is really special, this is the ultimate prediction?

"At eight o'clock in the evening, I put an eight-second trace preview, Li Qian, you fast gunner has evolved again, eight seconds of real man!"

"It's 20 o'clock at 8 o'clock at night, at least a 20-second trailer has to be given!"

"But these eight seconds are too terrifying, according to all the previous information, plus this trailer, the plot is already very clear, there is something wrong with this city!"

"Didn't I say it before, Truman is going to escape from this world, it's this city, this trailer should be that Truman is going to escape, but the whole city is searching for him, there are more than 100,000 people, I shudder when I think about it, so many people want to arrest themselves, but I don't know why then. ”

"The most terrifying thing should be the four lights, coming from the sky, my Nima's four lamps illuminate the whole city, cross-strafing, there is nowhere to hide. ”

"This is too infiltrating, could it be that aliens are spying on Truman. ”

"Didn't Li Qian say it, it's not another world, how can there be aliens. ”

"What he said is that there is no other world, but he didn't say that there are no people in the other world, if it is not aliens, it is not a satellite, otherwise who has the ability to be so high in the sky and install four huge lights. ”

"There must be some big secret on Truman, it's terrifying, there are people watching him from the sky, and there are countless agents in the city. ”

"This movie is getting more and more evil, what about a good comedy, now it's a horror movie!"
