And in the film review, there is also a bit of noise, and the famous film critic Roger Albert said it more pertinently, he wrote in the Chicago Sun: "...... Thanks to Mr. Bramble and Mr. Philip for the new infinite streaming mode. However, in such a model, there are many profound connotations that need to be explored, the conflict between human civilization and other civilizations, the brilliance and love of human nature, and the ugliness and betrayal of human nature...... , however, these flashes are drowned out in the gorgeous fight shots......"

"I do feel quite sorry. But I also have to admit that this is a wonderful commercial movie. Mere commercial films......"

At the end of the film review, Roger Albert still gave him his trademark "thumbs up" very face-saving. In fact, for this "thumbs-up", Jing Jian spent $200,000 in publicity money. There is nothing new under the sun, and it is worth it to let this film critic say a few pertinent words.

In this era, the film critics can guide public opinion, which is not an exaggeration at all, and can control the life and death of each movie. It wasn't until the national reviews in the Internet era that the status of those film critics dropped vertically. Of course, there is another problem, that is, - brushing! It will be a new era of water armies!

In fact, when the film reviews were launched, Paramount, Shirley and others were fighting another battlefield. And this time the allies finally ushered in, and representatives of major theaters quarreled with other film distributors. Finally, I was looking forward to a phenomenal movie in the off-season, who would dare to stop us from making money?

In the midst of a lot of disturbing quarrels and compromises, an agreement was finally reached, and the number of screens scheduled for the second week skyrocketed to 3,244. And Seed Pictures and Paramount once again urgently added $2 million in promotional expenses. This is also good in the European and American business societies. Off-the-board tricks and unspoken rules are fine, but as long as you see real money, it doesn't matter if you dance with the devil. So the faint rejection strangulation between CAA and Hollywood burst like a soap bubble......

……

Outside a theater in Chicago, a crowd of ticket buyers was already in a long line, much to the surprise of the reporters interviewing them, many of whom wore hats with the sign "Rifle Association" in an apparently organized move.

"Excuse me, are you all from the Rifle Association?"

"Yes, we support the films made by our partners. I've heard that the shooting footage inside is pretty cool. ”

"I'm going to see it first, and if it's exciting, I'm going to take the whole family to see it again on the weekend. ”

"That's what we love about movies. We are all armed with weapons, defending our families and weak gentlemen. ”

"We at the Rifle Association defend American values, honor, dedication, and fraternity...... Welcome to the Chicago Chapter!"

“……”

Such scenes are playing out all over North America. The Rifle Association was quite powerful, and it repaid Li for Jing Jian, and vigorously organized propaganda among the members of the association. At the same time, the number of members of the Rifle Association also increased dramatically. All interested parties are overjoyed by such an outcome......

……

Justin, along with a group of classmates, walked out of the theater with the flow of people. Although it was late at night, the energetic young people were still enthusiastic: "Great, I like the Chinese kid's outfit, especially the part where I run in a windbreaker......"

"Hey, that's parkour. Also, don't you hate him the most?

"I'm talking about the character, not the person! Okay, okay, forgive me for now, but tonight. If it shows up in front of me, I'll throw rotten tomatoes too!"

"Look, look over there, there's a trench coat and sunglasses, wow, and a hood!"

"Let's go, let's see. ”

"Justin, why don't you speak?"

"God, fucking cool. I want to watch it again!"

"Tomorrow, tomorrow!"

……

The box office in the second week unsurprisingly skyrocketed. Monday to Thursday were: 471, 423, 386, 409, and Friday was as high as 11.01 million, Saturday 14.61 million, and Sunday fell slightly, but it was also 14.07 million, and the weekly box office reached an astonishing $56.58 million, taking the lead and winning the weekly championship for a long time.

At the same time, the sales of the same name of "Infinite Trembling Elven Island" reached 560,000 copies, winning the overall sales championship. The theme song of the film, written and sung by Lumina, also dominated the major charts, and the single released sold as many as 1.53 million copies in a week. The soundtrack also topped the category rankings. With an unstoppable momentum, it became a quadruple champion!

Even at the White House press conference, a reporter asked, "Mr. President, have you seen Miss Mai Ting's new film?"

President Reagan smiled: "This movie is very good, especially because it strengthens the cultural exchange between China and the United States and the American cowboy spirit." My whole family and I have admired it, and I can tell you that our whole family loves it. ”

"And what do you think of Mr. Bramble's love affair with Miss Mai Ting of the United States?"

"Hahaha......" President Reagan ended his press conference amid laughter.

……

It's a lot of laughter, and somewhere in Hollywood, Andrew is working as a production manager for an independent film, only to smile wryly and shake his head when no one is around......

And the members who left the crew, such as Huagri, Fenori, and Michael, took on the notoriety of "cheating investors" and could only struggle in some small crews. For the success of Seed Pictures, they can't even cause any psychological fluctuations, because what is in front of them is the question of how to continue to make a living. As for the action assistant John Zhang, no one wanted him anymore, and he left the sad place of Hollywood......

As usual, Anthony walked into the CAA building and was immediately stopped by several security guards: "I'm sorry, Mr. Anthony, you have been fired. You have an hour to pack your personal belongings. ”

"No! it's not fair!"

And in the upstairs office, through the glass window, Ovitz watched Anthony's soul go down with a cold eye. Hollywood never believes in tears, he only goes after those who succeed......

On the set in Hong Kong, just after filming a fight scene, Zhang Wulang received a phone call. After talking for more than half an hour, Zhang Wulang was already smiling. He called a few ball boys to his side: "Good news, the film is a big hit! Jing Shao called another $200,000 as our reward." Also, he will arrange for the release in Hong Kong as soon as possible, so that he can use this wave of publicity to launch our film. I have already thanked Jing Shao. Let's call it a day early and celebrate with a few more drinks!"

And the ball boys were all excited: "Thank you Jing Shao! Thank you Fifth Brother! We have succeeded......"

"Win glory for the country! Win glory for Hong Kong!"
