"Isn't it, Chen Mubai chose to be released on the 6th!?"

"Damn, this is a bit rigid, isn't he afraid of "Monster 2"?"

"Was this unintentional or deliberate?"

"I watched the trailer for Infernal Affairs, and I thought it was good, but I waited a year for Monsters 2, and the two movies were released on the same day, so it was really hard for me. ”

"I feel that Chen Mubai is a little irrational, it was released on the same day as "Monster 2", won't the box office be suppressed?"

"Brothers, support a wave of Chen Mubai, he is one of the few directors and stars in China who rely on his works to speak. ”

"I admire his courage, but I always feel that it will be miserable......"

Netizens affirmed it after watching the trailer of "Infernal Affairs", but it was surprising to think that the release date would be the same day as "Monster 2".

The heat of this matter is getting bigger and bigger, and many people are speculating about the reason why Chen Mubai did this.

Some people say that it is because he is inflated that he will not take foreign blockbusters in his eyes.

Some people also say that he did this on purpose, in order to let everyone know that the quality of Chinese films is not worse than that of foreign films, and he wants to arouse the blood of the film and television industry!

After all, over the years, everyone has been afraid of foreign blockbusters, and they can hide if they can, and they will never compete with them in the same schedule.

Cowardice before fighting, this is the psychology of Chinese films encountering foreign blockbusters.

Generally speaking, foreign blockbusters have a large investment, good special effects, even if it is an action movie, the scene is very grandiose, and in the face of the global market, the probability of recovering the cost is also high.

Huaxia films are basically developed locally, and it is difficult to recover the cost of too much investment, so in terms of the fame and special effects of the actors, the gap is also revealed, and it is indeed difficult for Huaxia films to compete with foreign blockbusters.

As one of the most successful filmmakers in the past two years, if Chen Mubai wants to change this problem, he must face foreign blockbusters head-on and let everyone see hope.

However, this interpretation is more regarded by netizens as wishful thinking of Chen Mubai's fans, who don't believe that Chen Mubai has such lofty feelings.

As for the reason why it is so, there are various arguments, and time passes quietly in the midst of discussion.

It was July 5th.

We can see the new movie released tonight, and everyone is looking forward to it.

During the day, there was a discussion about which movie to watch.

"Which movie are you watching today, brothers!"

"I will support "Infernal Affairs" and support Chen Mubai!"

"It must be "Infernal Affairs", this still needs to be thought, support domestic production!"

"Why is it still related to nationality when watching a movie, can't you watch whatever type you like?"

"Yes, I like to watch foreign blockbusters, the special effects are realistic, especially the special effects of the "Monsters" series have always been top-notch, this is really a visual feast, no one likes to watch it, right?"

"Going to the cinema is just for enjoyment, watching special effects blockbusters is really cool, movies like "Infernal Affairs", in fact, the effect on the website is the same, but the gap between watching special effects blockbusters on the Internet and watching 3D in the cinema is still quite large. ”

"I believe that "Infernal Affairs" is not necessarily worse than "Monster 2", I will support Chen Mubai, and several of the stars in this movie are my favorite, star-studded, I must support it!"

“...... Do you still need to discuss this, you can't see both?"

These days, the promotional activities of the "Infernal Affairs" crew are very intensive, just to be able to enhance the influence of the film more.

Everyone knows that their number one rival, Monsters 2, is bound to have a strong impact on them, and they can only reduce their influence by increasing their publicity efforts.

Chen Mubai, Liang Wei and other main creators are running around on the two sides of the strait and three places to promote, "Monster 2" is an international blockbuster, plus the leading actors are internationally renowned stars, coupled with the word-of-mouth in the front seat, the number of people discussing is very large, and there are many fans of the series of movies, and the topic is very high.

"Monster 2" was first released abroad, with a good reputation, and the special effects are still worth touting, and many people have given a good evaluation after watching it.

The box office results abroad were also very good, and these news were transmitted back to China, and major media reported on the film.

Compared with the quality of an unknown "Infernal Affairs", the quality of "Monsters 2" has come out.

Although it is not of particularly high quality, it is also a qualified popcorn movie, and besides, this kind of movie itself is a special effect, and the storyline is relatively simple, without much thinking, and it is refreshing to watch.

The crew of "Monster 2" came to Huaxia to start promoting the movie, but they only went to a few major occasions and did not promote it too often.

After all, it is an internationally renowned movie star, and the movie is also a big production, full of appeal, a few press conferences are enough, if there are too many publicity sessions, it will lose points.

This is the forced style, famous and popular, that's it.

The crew of "Infernal Affairs" is a large-scale publicity, after all, they are inferior to "Monster 2" in any aspect, so naturally they will not have their kind of confidence.

They faced such a strong opponent and tried to seize every opportunity they could.

Liang Wei and others are also under pressure, and this is the first time they have faced such a strong opponent.

They really didn't expect Chen Mubai to choose to release it on this date, and they didn't expect Luo Fan and others to agree, it's a miracle!

But at the same time of trepidation, there is also excitement in my heart, what if I win?

It's unlikely, but it's not impossible.

They still have a trace of expectation in their hearts, and Luo Fan and others have also hinted to them that the quality of the movie is very good, which gives them great confidence.

So, they are also doing their best to promote this movie.

In case, they really won "Monster 2", and they were also the first people who dared to release a foreign blockbuster on the same day and beat each other in a head-to-head confrontation!

It's going to be an honor and a record.

......

"Xiaoxiao, let's rest tomorrow in the morning and go out to play in the afternoon. The roommate said to Zhao Xiaoxiao.

"Well, let's go see the premiere of "Infernal Affairs", I've been waiting for this movie for a long time!" Zhao Xiaoxiao said happily.

This summer, Zhao Xiaoxiao did not go home, but chose to travel with her roommates.

Their daily itinerary is planned, and it is planned before they set off.

However, they deliberately squeezed out half a day to rest, because they were going to see the premiere of their idol Chen Mubai's new movie.

The premiere is at 12 o'clock in the morning, and it will be more than 2 o'clock after watching the movie, and it will be more than 3 o'clock to go back to wash, and it is not realistic to get up early the next day to go out to play, and I don't have that energy, so I can only choose to rest for half a day to recuperate and then go out to play.

The time of every day is very important, after all, the number of days to play is only a few days, but for them, it is more important to support Chen Mubai's works as soon as possible!

Therefore, they would rather choose to rest for half a day, and also look for a movie theater to watch a movie when they are out playing, which shows how much they like Chen Mubai!

There are many iron fans like this, they are all moved by Chen Mubai's personal charm, and then they like him.

After all, Chen Mubai is too good, he is also handsome, he treats fans kindly, he is very fond of fans without a frame, and the requirements of fans will basically be fulfilled as much as possible, just like if he wants to listen to the songs he sings at the concert, he will meet them.

Who doesn't love such an idol?

Of course, it's also worth liking.

"Do you think Chen Mubai will win?" asked the roommate.

"Yes!" Zhao Xiaoxiao nodded as expected.

"But the opponent is Monster 2!"

"That will too!"

The roommate hesitated and said, "Actually, I really want to watch "Monster 2" first. ”

She had seen the first step of the movie and was impressed by the monsters in it, and when she knew when 2 would be released, she was ready to watch it.

It's just that I didn't expect it to be on the same day as the movie "Infernal Affairs", which made her a little uncomfortable.

"When we go back, we will definitely support Chen Mubai's work at the moment!" Zhao Xiaoxiao said.

"Actually, in the summer, I am interested in these two movies~"

They will not go back until next week, which is considered to be a crucial week at the box office.

Zhao Xiaoxiao didn't want to contribute to the box office of the other party at this time, and the impact would not be so great.

"Hmm!" nodded his roommate.

......

"Xiaoya, I'm back. ”

Sun Dong opened the door and shouted as he entered the room.

"Ahh

Usually Sun Dong has to work overtime until 8 o'clock to get off work, but today he came back at 6 o'clock, which is too abnormal!

"Let's go out to dinner today. Sun Dong came to the girl, stroked her hair and smiled.

The girl's name is Zhao Ya, which is his blind date at the beginning of the year.

Their relationship has warmed up rapidly in the past few months, and Zhao Ya came to the city where Sun Dong works to work together, and the two like each other very much and regard them as marriage objects.

"Why do you want to go out to eat?" Zhao Ya wondered.

"I bought two movie tickets, and today is the day when Chen Mubai's new movie is released. Sun Dong took out his mobile phone and showed Zhao Ya the purchased movie tickets.

"Ahh

"So, I'll rush back early, let's have dinner together, then go shopping, and then watch a movie. ”

Sun Dong took Zhao Ya's hand and said softly: "Usually I don't have much time to accompany you, but when Chen Mubai's movie was released, I wanted to accompany you to watch it." ”

Both of them like Chen Mubai very much, and they became acquainted with him because of watching his movies, and Chen Mubai's movies have a special meaning for them.

"Hmm. Zhao Ya hugged Sun Dong and agreed happily.

......

The premiere ceremony is still in the largest cinema in the magic capital, and the stars are shining.

The main creators of the crew of "Infernal Affairs" all came together, and everyone attended the ceremony.

This premiere is the largest one held by Mubai Entertainment, after all, there are many actors involved in this movie, and they are all well-known stars, which is very different from the past.

In the past, they were all their own artists, and the famous ones were Chen Mubai and Tao Yaoyao.

This time is different, it is full of celebrities, and this premiere ceremony is naturally much grander.

There were a lot of media reporters who came to the scene, as well as many film and television practitioners, film critics, and so on.

They are mainly because of Chen Mubai's bold decision to compete on the same stage as "Monster 2", so they want to watch the movie as soon as possible, go back to write relevant news publications, and win traffic.

They will watch both movies, and as for watching "Infernal Affairs" for the first time, they also have some support for Chen Mubai in their hearts.

They also hope in their hearts that Chen Mubai can win against each other and be honored.

After a simple hustle and bustle, the main creators began to take their seats, and everyone began to enjoy the movie.

Before the official screening, the main creators of "Infernal Affairs" were very confident in this movie, especially Liang Wei and others, who praised this movie bluntly.

The sincere expression on his face and tone of voice did not seem to be fake, and he even said that it was probably the best undercover film he had ever filmed, and he was glad to be a part of it.

Liang Wei, as a well-known film and television superstar in China, has a very heavy weight in his words, and has such a high evaluation, which shows the excellence of the movie.

Liang Wei is not untargeted, he watched the whole film during the film viewing meeting, so he has this evaluation.

The premiere was full, that's for sure, and many people also wanted to be able to see the main creative team at the scene.

At the same time, the rest of the hall was basically full, after all, as the largest movie theater in the magic capital, everyone knows the news that the premiere of "Infernal Affairs" is here, and many people are the first choice here as a viewing location, and if you are lucky, you can still see Chen Mubai!

Everyone started watching the movie with very high expectations.

In addition to here, the rest of the movie theaters have a large number of people, after all, it is summer vacation, and many students have time to watch movies.

"Monster 2" occupies the absolute first place with a scheduling rate of 41%, and in the eyes of major theaters, this is a movie that must make money, so the film schedule is naturally high.

Who is going to have trouble with money?

"Infernal Affairs" occupies the second place with 26% of the film schedule, and the rest of the films are scheduled.

Today, these two movies premiered, and the film schedule will naturally be higher, and the box office of the first few days of the movie is also the highest time, at this time, the more films scheduled, the higher the box office.

Compared with "Monster 2", the scheduling rate of "Infernal Affairs" is indeed not high, but compared with the rest of the movies, it is already a very high scheduling!

Many of the remaining movies were released in June or even mid-June, but because these two movies were coming strongly, the film schedule was cut a lot!

This also represents the theater's optimism about these two movies, combined with the current topic and popularity of the Internet, these two movies are indeed the highest, much higher than other works.

Whether it is in terms of investment, production lineup, or cast, these two dramas are actually the top works of the summer and the most watched movies.

It's just a pity that the two movies were released on the same day, which is a bit of an asteroid hitting the earth.

Judging from the box office of the movie's pre-sale, "Monster 2" currently has tens of millions of box office results of "Infernal Affairs"!

There are more people watching movies in movie theaters, and there are more people watching "Monster 2" than "Infernal Affairs", and the attendance rate is about the same, but "Monster 2" has more films, and the number of people watching it will naturally increase.

Chen Mubai has many fans, but there are many people who came to support him at the premiere.

Therefore, although the box office is not as good as "Monster 2", the gap is not as bad as imagined.

After everyone entered the theater, they found their seats, sat down to eat popcorn and drink Coke, and began to wait for "Infernal Affairs" to start playing.
