Chapter 760: Word of Mouth
“?”
A big question mark in Millie's mind, could it be that Mitchell asked to watch a movie, not to chase her, but to watch a movie together?
Could she be mistaken?
Millie's puzzled gaze swept to the two, and Angle heard Mitchell's words and agreed: "It's just to watch a movie together, it's normal to be classmates, what are you thinking." ”
Millie shrugged, "Okay, looks like I misunderstood. ”
"However, this seems to be the first time that a Chinese movie has been released in theaters in the United States. Turning her head, Millie forgot about it and began to discuss Chen Mubai's film with them.
"Yes, I haven't seen a Huaxia movie released in a movie theater before, only a videotape. Mitchell nodded.
It is true that pure Chinese movies have not been released in American cinemas, unless they are American works, but the actors are Chinese, there are such works, but there are not many.
They are all very famous superstars in China in the last century, and they have a certain reputation in the world, most of them are kung fu stars, and they are also the ones who have made Chinese kung fu go global, so that foreigners still believe that Chinese people can do martial arts and can fly off the wall.
In the past, there were American film and television companies that invited Chinese stars to be the leading actors in movies, but there have been no more in these years, and only some stars were found to make cameos for the Chinese box office.
Because the influence of foreign movies is getting bigger and bigger, and the audience is very wide, many Chinese stars are also willing to lower their prices to play supporting roles, and appearing in this kind of international blockbuster can also bring them exposure.
Even if he may not appear in the international version, it is excellent to appear in Huaxia, at least the audience in Huaxia will think that this star can appear in Hollywood blockbusters, which is too awesome!
Fans can also blow to the sky, increase the popularity and popularity of the star, and help continue to negotiate money in China.
Chen Mubai disdains to do this, and when he became famous, many international blockbusters came to him and asked him if he wanted to appear in their films, which could add some characters with lines to him.
He refused, not to mention whether it would be a special version of Huaxia, that is, to reduce his salary or not to be paid, to star and make cameos in this kind of blockbuster, just to show his face, cheap or not!?
He believes that he can make this kind of blockbuster one day, without making a cameo appearance in anyone's work, and he will be the leading actor instead of playing a supporting role in those foreign blockbusters.
"When I was a child, I watched a lot of Chinese movies, and the people in them were so good at kung fu, and I always longed for it. ”
Millie said excitedly: "It wasn't until I met Angle later that I realized that not everyone in Huaxia knows kung fu, and if you want to concentrate on cultivation, you have to enter the young ......."
"Shaolin Temple. Seeing Mirika's words, Angle added.
"Yes, yes, Shaolin Temple, but as soon as I thought of shaving my head, I gave up, otherwise I really want to go to Huaxia to have a look~"
Millie said: "But I have also seen a lot of Huaxia works in the future, which is still very good, until Chen Mubai appeared, which changed my perception of Huaxia stars!"
"Usually Chinese people are very reserved, just like angle, I didn't expect Chen Mubai to be a very confident and high-profile person, when I started hearing "Right Now", I couldn't believe that this song was written by a Chinese person!"
Millie exclaimed: "Whether it is the melody or pronunciation of the song, it doesn't feel like a Chinese person at all, it's really powerful, and then I saw his award-winning work, "Buried Alive." ”
"I watched it with my heart all the way, and all kinds of reversals emerged one after another, which made me thrilling, but I didn't expect him to die in the end, which made me a little sad for a while. ”
"So, when Chen Mubai came to participate in the Oscars last year, I also went to the scene to cheer for him, I was with Angle at that time, I am very handsome, this time, his movie is released, I have to support what I say!"
Millie told the reason for knowing Chen Mubai and her admiration for him, she really admired Chen Mubai's talent, when she saw Chen Mubai's live performance of "Dangerous" on TV, she screamed in surprise, it was amazing!
When she learned from Angle that Chen Mubai's movie was released, she decisively agreed to watch it, although it was a bit suspicious of being a light bulb.
However, if the parties have denied it, then there should be no problem.
"Let's go inside. ”
The three of them talked and laughed, the movie was about to start, and they were already checking the tickets.
——————
There are not many people here, but it is not a few, most of them are Chinese, and there are fewer Americans.
Some people are because Chen Mubai is handsome, some people are because of his songs, and some people are because of his dances and movies.
This once again shows that the publicity strategy of Weiyu and Dow Group is very successful, and all the aspects and achievements of Chen Mubai are taken out to publicize, and the effect is still there.
If it is just a single promotion of his name or the identity of the director and actor, I am afraid that some of his fans will come to watch the movie.
"Okay, this time he released several of his movies, and you can watch them again when you have time. Mitchell remembered Chen Mubai, not because he liked Chen Mubai, in fact, he didn't pay attention to the entertainment industry.
He likes sports stars, and he pays attention to the stars of basketball, football and baseball, and he really doesn't pay much attention to actors.
However, looking at this posture, Angle obviously likes Chen Mubai very much, so he has to start from this aspect and do what he likes, so that it will be easier to attack her.
Mitchell is not an idiot in love, in fact, American children are relatively precocious, he has been in love several times, but this is the first time he has launched an offensive against a Chinese girl.
After the three entered the theater, they found their seats.
Millie is very excited, and has been chattering non-stop, Mitchell occasionally makes a few sentences, because he really doesn't know Chen Mubai very well, and it may be wrong to say too much, so it's best to listen at this time, go back and do a strategy, and there will be a topic next time.
Soon, the movie began.
The previous plot is decent, and there are many war movies in the United States, and they are very good, so they won't be as amazing as the Chinese, after all, it is the first time that a war movie of this level has been made in China.
In the later plot, everyone was gradually attracted, especially during the rescue operation, the battle between the two sides was very fierce, the Jiaolong team suffered casualties, and everyone was disgraced, but they still did not give up the goal, just to rescue the trapped Chinese people.
Finally, the movie ends.
"Wow, this movie is good. Millie spoke.
"yes. Mitchell agrees, not by advocating it, but by genuinely thinking it's good.
"Isn't it a bit exaggerated to spend so much money just to rescue a Chinese person?"
"This is not the case in our country, the rescue of hostages must be a situation to ensure the safety of the movement, and they will not give their lives for others. ”
The United States is like this, it does not ban guns, and if you see a prisoner outside, if the other party is likely to attack with a gun, you will shoot it directly without saying anything at the first time, so as to ensure the safety of your own life.
Like in the movie, it is only possible to rescue that person if the person is very important or the success rate of the rescue operation is very high, otherwise he will definitely give up rescuing that person, not to mention being just an ordinary citizen.
In the same scenario, Mitchell doesn't believe their country would do that.
This is the cultural difference between the two countries, and Mitchell is puzzled by the truth of that plot in the movie.
"It's true. ”
Angle nodded, and then she told the two classmates about the situation in the country, and she would ensure the safety of the people at any time, including shooting and killing the bad guys, she would be admonished many times, instead of coming up and shooting directly.
"Cool!" Mitchell sighed.
"Yes, it would be very safe to live in a country like this. Millie sighed as well.
"For the life of a citizen, you can pay such a big price, it really gives people a high sense of belonging, no wonder your nation is very united. ”
"The movie is very good, the picture of being shot is very strong, and those people are really moving, they have never regretted it until they die, and they are still insisting on completing the task!"
Mitchell took over and said: "Unlike many movies, the villain will not be shot if he shoots so many shots, and he will not be injured if he is blown up by a grenade, here the grenade is thrown in, and then picked up and thrown out, and the arms are blown off, which is very real, and the grenade will explode with a delay of about 2 seconds." ”
Not only the three of them are praising it, but many other people who have watched the movie think it is good, and everyone is praising it.
......
On this day, many people who walked into the theater gave good reviews after watching "Operation Red Sea", only a small number of people didn't like it, and it was not bad overall.
There are also those who are interested in anime, after all, many comics in the United States are selling very well, and then the box office of movies adapted from manga is not bad, and the works made in fairy tales have received good responses.
The special effects of "Nezha's Demon Boy Descends to the World" are doing well, and many people are surprised that Huaxia can make special effects of this level, if it develops for a few more years, it will really not be worse than their anime.
However, because it is translated from Chinese to English, the meaning of some ancient words is difficult to describe, and there are some differences from the original meaning.
However, some words have won the approval of many people, such as [Other people's opinions are bullshit, who you are is only what you say] [The prejudice in people's hearts is a mountain]......
These words have been translated into the past, and the meaning is almost the same, especially since the United States is a multi-ethnic country, and there are many contradictions between races and racial discrimination......
Many people are in a state of bullying and discrimination, these bullied people are very depressed, often bullied, and many times have lost their self-confidence, and this movie is in a way a positive movie that gives them confidence.
The praise of "Nezha's Demon Boy Descends" is much higher than that of "Operation Red Sea", after all, the war film America has better, and this time "Nezha's Demon Boy Descends" brought them too much surprise.
One is the progress of special effects, and the other is the rhythm of narrative ability, they prefer this type of anime, which has a deep meaning and a comedic ending in the end.
For a while, the word-of-mouth of "Nezha's Demon Boy Descends to the World" spread out, and the group among students spread the most widely, because this is the most bullied group, and school violence is an unavoidable topic.
"Infernal Affairs" also has an audience, before Solomon bought the copyright of the movie as a villain, the movie has been approved, the starring role is still a well-known actor, and there was a lot of momentum when the project was established, so many people know about this movie.
Now that everyone has seen the genuine version, out of curiosity, many people have come to see it.
In addition, Chen Mubai himself has a certain appeal, and there are still many people who come to watch the movie, and his previous actions have made him famous.
The data on the first day of the movie's release is not bad, and the rest needs to rely on word-of-mouth to promote, and the publicity that should be done has been done to the maximum.
There are fewer people watching during the day, and more at night.
On the one hand, it is because there is something to do during the day, and there is more time at night, so I have time to do what I want to do after school and work, and on the other hand, I walked into the theater at night after being recommended by others during the day.
Fortunately, there are no blockbusters at this point in time, so there is not much pressure from competition, and the box office attendance of several movies is okay.
