Obviously, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is also Zhang Liang's work, and the release at this time should be to build momentum for Zhang Liang, but this is not the case.

Because, if "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is on fire, it will definitely bring a lot of help to Zhang Liang, but in fact, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" hit the street!

As a long-famous director in China, Zhang Muyi's new movie was released, and the major theaters were naturally quite face-saving, and they gave "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" a lot of films. And on the first day of the release, it did arouse the curiosity of many people, and many people bought tickets to watch it.

But soon, the film reviews of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" on various platforms were bleak, and because of these film reviews, the box office of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was also quite miserable!

The box office on the first day did not even reach 10 million, which should be regarded as the most dismal box office film in Zhang Muyi's directorial career!

In today's era of pursuing visual effects and visual enjoyment, pure martial arts movies like "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" have long been out of the market.

This kind of pure martial arts, how can there be all kinds of explosions, all kinds of robot battles, or all kinds of fairy magic power fights to look good, isn't it? As for the script, lines, and deep meaning of this movie, these are not things that ordinary audiences will consider at all.

Therefore, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" pounced, and it was quite miserable!

In the first week of release, the total box office in the mainland was 12.05 million!

In the second week of its release, the total box office in the mainland was 15.89 million!

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" not only refreshed the miserable record of Zhang Muyi's movie box office, but also refreshed the public's understanding of Zhang Liang's script.

At this moment, the phrase "produced by Zhang Liang must be a high-quality product" seems to be no longer practical!

No one is perfect, and this word has once again worked.

Even if it is Zhang Liang's script, not all of them are classics, and Zhang Liang also has a time when Jiang Lang is exhausted!

For Zhang Muyi's miserable box office, many people have sent comfort, but they didn't actually go to the theater to support it or anything. Because of this, the street of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" finally raised those expectations for "Charlotte's Troubles", and those expectations were extinguished.

After all, the street fight of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has already shown that Zhang Liang has exhausted his talents, and even a director like Zhang Muyi can't make a blockbuster movie, so what good-looking movies can a rookie director like Zhang Liang make?

It's just that at this time, everyone patronizes to watch the mainland box office of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", but seems to ignore that "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is a movie that will be released simultaneously around the world!

However, this is also a normal phenomenon, after all, it is rare for Chinese movies to be released abroad, let alone be released simultaneously. In the cognition of almost all Chinese people, the local box office of China is the total box office of Chinese films, and the overseas box office has always been an existence that has not been paid attention to, unless a certain Chinese film has won any awards at an international film festival, there will be relevant media to pay attention to the overseas box office of this film.

What's more, generally speaking, the overseas box office and the Chinese box office are generally in a certain proportion, and the box office of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" in China is so miserable, how can anyone pay attention to the overseas box office of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"?

In China, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" may be Zhang Muyi's movie in cognition, and it has little to do with him, but overseas, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is a movie of Chinese people, and there is a sense of nationality in an instant, and then if the box office is miserable, his face will be dull, right?

After all, the disgrace is all lost.

This also made it even earlier that others didn't care about the overseas box office of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

However, most people don't care so they don't know, but Zhang Liang already knew, because Zhang Muyi had already called Zhang Liang.

As soon as the phone was connected, Zhang Muyi naturally counted Zhang Liang's meal.

"You said that the Chinese box office of this movie will be miserable, but it doesn't have to be so miserable, right?"

"What age is this, martial arts themes are not blockbusters, and it would be good if they could sell 10 million. ”

"Yes, you big-headed ghost, if it weren't for the overseas box office, I would have to pay grandma's house this time. ”

"You're rushing to win the award, how cheesy the box office is. ”

"! who can't get along with money. But Zhang Liang, you are really a god! How do you know that this movie will be a hit at the box office overseas?"

"After all, compared with the Chinese people, the theme of martial arts is still very novel for those overseas local buns, plus I am such a wise screenwriter, and by the way, with you losing your directing skills, this film is naturally very novel for those long-haired people. ”

"Cut, it will add gold to your face. Although Zhang Muyi's tone was very disdainful, Zhang Liang still felt a kind of joy from his tone, just this tone can guess an approximate box office, but I don't know if it is the same as that parallel world, it also created a record of the overseas box office of Chinese films. "Zhang Liang, your new movie doesn't seem to be favored, do you want me to reveal the overseas box office of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" to make you popular?"

"There's no hurry, I'm just enjoying the pleasure of slapping my face in a flash of inspiration. ”

"You're so bad...... But I like it, hahaha! I don't know how much box office his "Journey to the West III" will have this time. ”

"I don't know, it shouldn't be too bad, after all, the IP is there. ”

"Well, yes, this guy is too petty, and he gambles with you like this, but others think that you will be killed by him, and I am a little expecting that you will kill him, and I now feel more and more that your works are absolutely classics. ”

"It's good to live up to Director Zhang's expectations. ”

Because of the miserable box office of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", the original one-month release time was finally cut by a small half, and it was removed from the shelves in advance after 20 days of release, and the total box office was only 15 million, so of course I was embarrassed.

A new movie by a well-known Chinese director, the box office turned out to be so miserable, the people naturally put the culprit on Zhang Liang's head, and almost everyone felt that Zhang Muyi was cheated by Zhang Liang this time.

Zhang Liang, who is full of talent, once he has no inspiration, even Zhang Muyi has been cheated like this, so how watchable "Charlotte's Troubles" can be, it can be guessed.

At this time, Zhang Liang's studio also received a notice.

An invitation from Mango Channel's "Base Camp"!

This is definitely unexpected news, and it is a pretty good opportunity for the promotion of the movie!

After all, Zhang Liang and Mango TV fought on variety shows before, and Zhang Liang didn't dare to be embarrassed to go to Mango TV to promote "Charlotte's Troubles", but Mango TV took the initiative to invite it this time?

But soon, Zhang Liang understood the reason for being invited, because the crew of "Journey to the West III" was going to be promoted in "Base Camp", and as the first interpreter of Supreme Treasure, it was reasonable for Zhang Liang to be invited, right?
