Chapter 146 (Part II)

It has been a week since the global release of "Evil God", and this week is enough to change the status of Chinese films in the world. Internationally, there has never been such a keen discussion of China, Chinese culture, and Chinese films. "Evil God" was released worldwide for a week, setting off a frenzy of Chinese fantasy all over the world.

In the domestic market, several major cinema chains have reported successes frequently, and various theaters have unprecedentedly hung out "full" signs. In Beijing theaters, since the release of "The Evil God", many movie theaters have had to wait all night to line up the show, playing 24 hours a day to satisfy enthusiastic audiences.

According to the manager of Wangfujing Cinema, this scene was many years ago, when "Titanic" was released. At that time, the theater was only full, and there was no continuous broadcast 24 hours a day like now. The manager said with a smile that after Zhang Shaoyu received a big box office hit, he would ask him for overtime pay for the theater staff.

In the foreign market, the shock caused by "Evil God" is even more violent than in China. For many years, foreigners' impressions of Chinese movies have almost focused on martial arts films. Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, Ang Lee, "Hero", "Ambush on All Sides", "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" ......

Foreigners almost think that Chinese movies are Chinese martial arts films and Chinese kung fu films. But this time, the Chinese impressed them. The fantasy they are proud of has actually become a great success in China. They would never have thought that China, which is rich in martial arts films, would be able to make such an excellent fantasy movie.

"Evil God", whether it is the plot, shooting, stunts, or the performances of the actors, has reached an unattainable height. The shock it brings to the audience is beyond words. According to foreign media, since the release of "Evil God" around the world, the West has once again set off a China fever.

Taking advantage of the east wind of "Evil God", many Chinese films have been stained with light, and many movie theaters have specially launched Chinese film topics to show foreigners the style of Chinese culture.

After watching "The Evil God", the famous Hollywood director Spielberg gave the following comments to the media:

"I have always longed for this ancient country with a 5,000-year-old civilization. I'm a director, and I've been following Chinese films all along.

But it's a pity that Chinese movies give me the impression that they have always been martial arts, with knights carrying long swords and flying around in the sky. And this time, I was convinced. Fantasy, which originated from the West, was attracted to the Chinese, melted, and even formed its own style. This film, I dare to assert, will have a pivotal place in the history of world cinema.

I think I now understand why the Chinese nation has been able to stand tall for 5,000 years. Chinese not only have a culture that they are proud of, but they are also very good at absorbing other things and transforming them into their own. Chinese, amazing!"

Not only these, but the release of "Evil God" made overseas Chinese very happy. Because they found that since the release of "Evil God", foreign friends around them have become interested in Chinese culture and Chinese movies. They even asked their Chinese friends with a hint of suspicion: "Is this really a movie made by you Chinese?"

At this time, I believe that every Chinese can puff up his chest and proudly tell him: "Yes, it was filmed by us Chinese! Moreover, it was filmed at the expense of a young man in China! How about it, take it!"

This young man is Zhang Shaoyu. Since the release of "Evil God", Zhang Shaoyu's three names, which were already familiar enough to Chinese people, have reached the point of becoming household names. Who would dare to believe that a young man in his twenties could have such foresight and courage to take out all his belongings and make this movie?

This young man who came out of the Xiaoqiang Cup at the beginning, only has a college degree, and he has created too many miracles. He never seems to be at peace, and he always has to make people break their glasses before he is willing.

A week after the release of "The Evil God", Zhang Shaoyu appeared on the cover of Time magazine, and the narration was: A miracle maker from China.

Jacky Communication Corporation, an interesting thing happened to this company today. The ultra-luxurious office of the company's boss, Brother Xian, was temporarily converted into a reception room.

The person who can make the big boss so elevated, in this company, except for Zhang Shaoyu, there will be no one else.

At this moment, there are dozens of media reporters from the three places across the Taiwan Strait, South Korea, and Singapore. However, today is neither a press conference nor any kind of propaganda, so why are so many reporters here?

The reason is Zhang Shaoyu, today, he invited all the media friends who can be invited to witness a historic moment. Of course, this is his own words, and if others believe it or not, they don't know.

It has been more than a week since "The Evil God" was released around the world, and today, the major theaters will count the box office of "The Evil God" for a week, and it will always be here. "Evil God", a movie that turned the entire entertainment industry upside down in 2006, changed the entire entertainment industry because of his investors.

The investment is huge: 200 million yuan.

The strange investment: It is wholly owned by the popular mainland superstar Zhang Shaoyu.

The lineup is strong: almost including the top and most popular stars in China and South Korea.

The trick of the shooting: From the beginning to the end, only one media visit was arranged, and the rest of the time was kept secret.

In addition to these, Zhang Shaoyu even held a grand world premiere in Beijing's Temple of Heaven Park, causing a sensation. It's been a week since he was released, and despite the rave reviews in the news media, the film has been elevated to an incomparable status. But after all, this is a commercial film, and everything is based on the box office. And today, the first box office of this movie is about to be released, and whether it is successful or not will naturally be known in a while.

At this time, there was a crowd of people in this office, and there were many discussions, and the topics were all related to Zhang Shaoyu. In the history of the entertainment industry, there has never been such a thing. Before the box office came out, the media was invited to witness it. You must know that if the box office is a hit, then it is natural to invite friends from the media to promote it well.

But if it fails miserably at the box office, then you have to hide, for fear that the media will know. And Zhang Shaoyu, before he even knew the result, he dared to make such a decision, I don't know whether he should be said to be too crazy or too confident.

However, if you look at Zhang Shaoyu's appearance now, does he mean that he is a little crazy? He is standing with his boss, Wu Zhongxian, and he doesn't know what he is talking about. However, Zhang Shaoyu's situation today does not seem to be very good, his face is pale, his eyes are red and swollen, he can't hide his exhaustion, it is estimated that he is too stressed, and he can't sleep well.

"Shaoyu, isn't this movement a little too big? You invite so many media reporters, if, I mean if, if the box office is not ideal, then this face will be lost. "Brother Xian, as an old bird in the entertainment industry, has never seen anything like this. Wherever you don't know the box office, you invite the media to witness it, as the saying goes, family ugliness should not be publicized, in case the box office is bleak, it will become a laughing stock.

Although this film is not his investment, he is just an actor in the film, but in Zhang Shaoyu's heart, his status is different from other artists, so he has to worry about Zhang Shaoyu.

Although Zhang Shaoyu's complexion was not good, his spirit was not bad, staring at those blood-red eyes, he yawned, but his eyes became more and more red.

"Don't worry, Brother Xian, I'm sure that even if the box office is not a big hit, at least it won't make us lose face. Zhang Shaoyu patted Brother Xian's back and smiled softly.

Seeing that he looked exhausted, Brother Xian was a little worried, knowing that he had never rested well since the film came out, and couldn't help but say: "Shaoyu, go take a break?" Look at your appearance, you are so haggard and frightening." ”

Rubbing his eyes, Zhang Shaoyu said without mind: "It's okay, what are young people afraid of, I'll go back to rest when it's over." ”

At this time, Zhang Shaoyu's old friend, Zhang Cheng, came over. Seeing Zhang Shaoyu's tired face, he couldn't help but become concerned: "Shaoyu, what's wrong? I haven't slept for a few days?"

Yes, I haven't slept for a few days? Zhang Shaoyu actually can't figure out how many days he hasn't slept himself, and the last time he slept seems to be last week, right? I've been busy with "Evil God" these days, and I haven't closed my eyes. When today's events are over, I really want to sleep enough at home, and it's best to not be able to sleep.

"It's been a few days, but it's not a big deal. Zhang Shaoyu said with a smile.

"Boy, pay attention to your body, looking at you now, it's really worrying. Zhang Cheng still takes good care of this friend with the same surname, and several times, he has helped Zhang Shaoyu build momentum and publicity. The relationship between the two has long gone beyond ordinary artists and reporters and has become friends.

The two were chatting when suddenly, they heard a noise behind them, and when they looked back, a female staff member walked in briskly with a folder in her hand.

Her appearance immediately made everyone in the office nervous, and everyone stared at the folder in her hand, which should contain the box office news of "Evil God".

There was a commotion in the office, and everyone gathered around, hoping to see the results of the film as soon as possible. Zhang Shaoyu and Brother Xian finally squeezed in, and said loudly to everyone: "Don't worry, everyone, we will definitely announce the results on the spot, please sit down, thank you." ”
