The story and connotation of "Twelve Warriors" is something that can happen at any time in the Star Banner Country, and it is also a theme that the people of the Star Flag Country often think about;

But in the movie, jurors like Peng Yichen who can stick to their principles are not always available in the Star Flag Country.

This movie has the audience of Star Flag Country thinking about a question.

If he was sitting on the jury, would he be able to do the same thing as the juror played by Peng Yichen?

At the same time, they were also thinking about whether they would have met a juror with such integrity and determination if they were the juveniles of the defendant.

The only thing that shocked and dissatisfied fans of the Star Flag Country was that they saw such a wonderful movie in the cinema only 5 years after its release.

For a while, in the North American film circle, "looking for the classic Chinese movies we missed" actually formed a craze.

Moviegoers in North America spontaneously began to search for those past Chinese movies, and tried to find those missed classics from them.

Peng Yichen's idea of leading Huaxia films to gain a foothold in the North American market is being realized little by little.

The momentum of "Twelve Warriors" in the Star Banner Country has also become bigger and bigger with this craze.

"Even though it's only February, I'm already sure that 'The Twelve Warriors' is the best movie of the year, absolutely not one of them. ”

A month after the movie was released, 15 mainstream media in the Star Flag Country unexpectedly gave the above evaluation to this movie.

Many critics feel very sorry because they think that if the film hadn't been released 5 years ago.

Then this year's Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film doesn't need to be evaluated, it must be this "Twelve Warriors".

And such a movie, which is highly respected by the entire Star Flag Country, is Peng Yichen's debut film.

At this point, the entire Hollywood filmmakers have to start to re-examine Peng Yichen, an incomparably young Chinese director.

They find out each of his films, constantly watching, studying.

Through this kind of research, they found that none of Peng Yichen's films repeat his previous successful experience.

You must know that after the vast majority of directors have made an extremely successful genre film, to a large extent, they no longer dare to try new genre films.

Because that often means failure.

In the entire history of Western cinema, there is only one director who dares to say that he has never repeated himself, and that is Stanley Kubrick.

No one dares to deny Kubrick's greatness, but equally no one dares to think that Kubrick's films are mainstream, popular films.

This is the limitation of Kubrick, whose films, while great, tend to be niche.

But Peng Yichen is different, his movies never repeat themselves, but his movies are not niche, almost all of them are mainstream genre movies.

Except for one "Double Treasure Fighting Demons", which is a niche horror movie on the surface.

But the core of this movie is actually a humorous satirical film for the public, and the content is also about the mainstream view of the public against discrimination and prejudice.

From this point of view, Peng Yichen's talent can almost be compared to Kubrick.

From a certain point of view, Peng's final achievement may even surpass Kubrick's.

After all, his movies often have a deep connotation while taking into account a certain amount of entertainment and topicality.

Therefore, Peng Yichen's movie box office results are often not too bad.

The only pity is that in the eyes of Hollywood filmmakers, Peng Yichen has not yet made a successful commercial blockbuster.

In their opinion, "Journey to the West" is just a medium-budget magic movie.

Therefore, they can only wait for the release of Peng Yichen's next big-budget sci-fi movie to determine whether Peng Yichen can really be called "great".

After the guidance of these film critics, the audience in Xingqi Country has become more and more interested in the science fiction movies that Peng Yichen is shooting.

This sci-fi movie, all shot in China, gathers Tom Hanks, Morgan Freeman, Christopher Waltz, three powerful acting talents, and Peng Yichen, a rising star in Hollywood, should be very worth looking forward to, right?

At this time, there is a big question mark in the hearts of fans of Star Flag Country:

Will Peng Yichen dedicate them a more classic legendary movie?

……

When the Spring Festival in China was approaching, the craze caused by "Twelve Warriors" in the Star Banner Country, Peng Yichen, who was far away in China, finally learned from Robinov.

The popularity of "Twelve Warriors" in the Star Flag Country far exceeded Peng Yichen's expectations.

In Robinov's words: At this time, a film that set off a great discussion on the overall judicial system of the Star Banner Country, and the influence of the film caused an extremely fierce storm in the film industry, judicial circles, and all walks of life in the Star Flag Country.

This kind of influence beyond the boundaries of the film has far exceeded the influence of the film when it was released in China.

As for the film's box office results, Robinov is very sure that the North American box office of the film will never fall below $300 million.

In other words, Chen Jing Film Company has made another big profit, and its capital to make movies in the future will be even stronger.

This is what Peng Yichen is most concerned about now.

Because the filming cost of "The Country Teacher" was seriously overrun.

This film was originally planned to have a total investment of 200 million US dollars, 150 million for filming and 50 million for publicity.

It took $190 million to shoot alone, and with the cost of publicity, the final investment is estimated to be at least $240 million.

There are two main reasons for the overspending: one is the high labor cost due to the large involvement of Hollywood crews, and the other is that the manufacturing cost of holographic projection equipment is extremely high, even exceeding the cost of post-production special effects.

Of course, the manufacturing cost of holographic projection equipment can be evenly distributed to future movies.

After all, this device can't only be used in one movie, as long as it's not broken, it doesn't matter how many you use.

Of course, the fire of "Beautiful Life" and "Twelve Warriors" brought more than just monetary benefits to Peng Yichen.

His status and prestige in the Chinese film circle and the Xingqi country film circle, after these two movies, are completely different from the past.

While he was working hard to complete the post-production of "The Country Teacher", a bigwig in the Chinese film industry found Peng Yichen.

The hot sales of "Beautiful Life" and "Twelve Warriors" in the Star Flag Country have made Chinese filmmakers see that Peng Yichen has indeed gained a firm foothold in the North American film market.

Seeing this opportunity, Han Sanpin of CCTV Group went directly to the science fiction film and television base to meet Peng Yichen.

I want him to help contact and release a new movie of CCTV Group in the Star Flag Country.

"New Shaolin Temple"!

This is a kung fu movie shot at the end of last year by CCTV Group that wanted to replicate the great success of "Shaolin Temple" in China that year.

In order to ensure that the movie is a big hit, CCTV has hired Chen Musheng, a very famous director who has made action movies in recent years, and also brought together a group of big-name actors such as Fang Long, Andy Lau, Xie Tingfeng, Fan Binbin, and Wu Jin to participate.

Such a lineup, in today's Chinese film market, only CCTV Group and Huimin Film and Television Group can make it up.

After all, when they were competing for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, they didn't care about their previous suspicions, and let their actors and artists help Peng Yichen mobilize fans to vote on the three major websites of the Star Flag Country.

It is better to settle the dispute, and Peng Yichen will certainly not refrain from Han Sanpin's request to ask him to help distribute CCTV movies in North America.

called Denzel of Legendary Pictures on the spot and asked him to contact CCTV to arrange the release of "New Shaolin Temple" in North America.

Of course, he also made it clear to Han Sanpin.

Although Legendary Pictures has a strong distribution ability in North America, no one is sure whether the film will get a good box office in North America in the end.

He can't guarantee that the film will make money if it is released in North America through Legendary Pictures.

Of course, Han Sanpin understood.

In this matter, Peng Yichen still made Han very comfortable.

He originally came to the film and television base to see Peng Yichen in person, just to ask for directions by throwing stones to see if the past of the two families could be revealed.

The result made him quite satisfied, and Peng Yichen immediately helped CCTV contact a very well-known Hollywood film company to be responsible for the North American distribution of their films.

After Han Sanpin's matter passed, another person came to the film and television base the next day to find him in person and ask for his help.

The reason why this person came to Peng Yichen made him feel very surprised.
