Chapter 16: Sensation
A week has passed, and it is September 29th, which is only one day before the release of "Looking for the Dragon" on October 1st. And today, it is the theme of "Looking for the Dragon" of "Happy Camp", which will be broadcast tonight.
After a week of hype, this issue of "Happy Camp" has attracted far more attention than any previous issue.
Magic City, a girls' dormitory, in front of the computer, surrounded by a few girls.
"It's on, it's on!" said the girl in front of the computer excitedly.
At this time, in front of the TV and the computer, countless people were watching this issue of "Base Camp", and Chen Yongren accidentally set a record, the highest ratings in the history of "Base Camp". Although Chen Yongren only made a cameo appearance in the previous "Infernal Affairs" without many scenes, the role of Chen Yongren when he was a teenager was loved by many people because of his good looks.
The day after the broadcast of "Base Camp", Chen Yongren and several leading actors of "Looking for the Dragon" have been dismissed on the hot search list, and the topic remains high, and tomorrow "Looking for the Dragon" will officially land in major theaters across the country.
This time, Chen Yongren did not hold a movie premiere, because he felt that he didn't need it, but the roadshow was still needed, and then he and the creators of "Looking for the Dragon" would go to 15 cities across the country for a roadshow.
On the evening of September 30, 2004, theaters across the country were crowded, and tickets for the zero o'clock show were sold out just after noon.
Since the premiere was not held, in addition to the ordinary audience, the producers and creators of "Looking for the Dragon" also chose to watch the zero point field.
At 1:55 a.m. on the National Day, the screening of "Looking for the Dragon" ended at 0:00, and many people who walked out of the theater could not hide the shock and excitement in their hearts.
In the theater hall, many media reporters are interviewing the audience's viewing experience.
"Hello, I'm a reporter from "Everyday Entertainment", can I interview you about your viewing experience?"
A young lady who was stopped did not have stage fright when she saw the camera and the microphone, but was still in a state of excitement, and said: "Yes, yes, you can ask me." ”
It was the first time for the reporter to meet a passer-by who was so cooperative and not afraid of the stage, and asked with a smile: "Is this movie good?
"It's all good-looking, but I like "Looking for the Dragon" more, I feel very cool to watch, and Chen Kun is so handsome..."The young lady said excitedly.
Well, I guess I interviewed Chen Kun's fans, the reporter thought to himself, and then after a few sentences of interviews, I interviewed another person, and reporters can be interviewed almost everywhere in some of the more well-known big cinemas, but there are no bad reviews!
At this time, a reporter from the Southern Entertainment News in a movie theater in Beijing was interviewing Huang Zhong, a famous film critic who had just finished watching the movie.
Huang Zhong is not only a film critic, but also a part-time screenwriter who has written some TV drama scripts, and they are quite popular after they are filmed.
"Hello, Mr. Huang Zhong, I'm Li Xin, a reporter from Southern Entertainment Daily, can I interview you a few words?" Li Xin saw Huang Zhong come out and hurriedly rushed over to ask, he received news that several well-known film critics were watching the zero point field here today, so he ran over to squat, but he was here for a long time.
Huang Zhong smiled and nodded, and Li Xin asked: "Teacher Huang Zhong, can you tell me how you feel about watching "Looking for the Dragon"? How do you think this movie directed by Chen Yongren compares to the previous "Infernal Affairs"?"
Huang Zhong looked at the camera lens, smiled and said, "No, it's better." What I said is not better than saying that "Looking for the Dragon" is very bad, on the contrary, the first feeling it gives me is shock, it is the kind of shock beyond your imagination, it can be said that it is no worse than Hollywood movies, in fact, we have more or less seen in books or on TV about tomb robbing, but although "Looking for the Dragon" is also about tomb robbery, its movie connotation is very deep, and the special effects of the whole movie, the impact of the visual effects brought to people, is very strong, it can be said that compared with "Infernal Affairs" This movie is undoubtedly more successful, and director Chen Yongren's directing skills feel that he has improved a lot, the processing of the movie picture, and some details are very delicate, this movie can definitely be recorded in the history of Chinese films, because it is currently the first Chinese fantasy adventure suspense thriller action drama film, it can be said that I want to watch it again, and I will go back to digest and digest it, I will watch it again in the afternoon, and some details in the movie still need to be watched several times to understand"
Listening to Huang Zhong talk for a few minutes, Li Xin smiled and said, "Thank you Teacher Huang Zhong for your wonderful comments!"
Huang Zhong was still a little unsatisfied, and continued: ""Looking for the Dragon" is a movie that makes people feel very shocked, from the idea to the plot, from the special effects to the very elaborate pictures, to the art and soundtrack, all of them are refined, thank you very much to Director Chen Yongren for making such an excellent Chinese film. ”
Li Xin, who originally thought that Huang Zhong had finished talking and was about to end the interview, heard him say, and then asked: "Then Mr. Huang Zhong, how much do you think this "Looking for the Dragon" is different from Hollywood movies?"
Huang Zhong replied with a smile: "I watched Hollywood science fiction movies two years ago, and I was stunned after watching it, you must know that I watched it two years ago, and then I suddenly realized that the original movie can still be made like this, and it turns out that we are at least 20 years worse than the level of other people's film industry." But it didn't take long for a "Infernal Affairs" to let me see the dawn of the rise of Chinese films, and now the appearance of this "Looking for the Dragon", as a domestic blockbuster, its special effects are not lost to the current Hollywood blockbusters! And it is also the first real Chinese 3D special effects blockbuster, so I think this movie will be a phenomenal movie. ”
After listening to this, Li Xin asked: "So, Mr. Huang Zhong, can you guess the zero-point box office of "Looking for the Dragon"?" Although the previous "Infernal Affairs" has broken countless box office records, the box office record of the zero-point file on the first day has not been broken.
Huang Zhong thought it was quite interesting after listening to it, and said with a smile: "I remember that last year's zero-point field record was more than 53 million in Hollywood movies, with the popularity of "Looking for the Dragon", it should be surpassed, right?"
Li Xin replied with a smile: "It's over." ”
Huang Zhong then said tentatively: "Five five million?"
Li Xin smiled and shook his head.
Huang Zhong went on to say: "... Seventy million?"
Li Xin still smiled and shook his head.
Huang Zhong exclaimed a little and said, "Could it be, breaking 100 million?"
Li Xin shook his head with a smile and replied, "Eighty-seven million!"
Huang Zhong gasped and said, "It's terrifying!"
