Next chapter

As soon as the news came out that the crew of "Time and Space Warriors" was going to South Korea to promote, more than 700 tickets for the three post-screening meetings that were confirmed to be participated in were quickly sold out, and scalpers also appeared on the Internet, with ticket prices as high as 200,000 won.

At the meeting, fans made English support cards for Reeves and Brody, and Chinese support cards for Zhang Ran and Zhang Ziyi, and wrote special slogans according to their respective characteristics and hobbies.

Zhang Ran admires this very much, these Korean fans are too professional!

"Oba, I like you very much, can you sign me a name?" A fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl stood in front of Zhang Ran, holding a poster and excitedly asking Zhang Ran for an autograph.

"Of course you can!" Zhang Ran felt that this girl was a little familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere. However, it is normal for Koreans to look familiar, and many of them come out of an assembly line. He signed his name and smiled and returned the poster to the girl.

"Wow, that's beautiful!" the girl let out a burst of cheer. However, she didn't leave immediately, she was a little willing to leave like this, looked at Zhang Ran, and asked, "Oba, can I hug you?" I really like you. I'm a trainee, and I couldn't hold on anymore, but it was "Burst Drummer" that gave me courage!"

Zhang Ran had heard about the Korean trainees and knew that it was not easy for them, so he opened his arms: "Yes, come on!"

The girl's heart was pounding, her face was red, and just as Zhang Ran was about to hug her gently, she stood on tiptoe and imprinted her lips directly on Zhang Ran's face.

The audience at the scene didn't expect the girl to be so bold, and let out a burst of exclamations, Zhang Ran was directly stunned in place, touching his cheek in disbelief.

The old man was actually kissed secretly!

"Oba, remember my name, my name is Lin Yun'er!" the girl turned around and ran away after kissing Zhang Ran, leaving a word.

However, being kissed is not crazy, what really hurts Zhang Ran and them is that when they go to the bathroom after the event, a group of fans actually block the door and scream.

Keanu Reeves is considered well-informed, but it is also the first time he has encountered this situation, his hands trembled, and he almost urinated on Zhang Ran.

CJ Entertainment spent a lot of money on the rights to "Time Warrior", so it was natural to go all out in terms of publicity, and they arranged a talk show on SBS TV.

The host is a man and a woman, and the woman is very beautiful, but the whole face does not have too strong characteristics, which is obviously a product of the assembly line;

Before the formal interview began, the host took a group photo with Zhang Ran and them, and exchanged the content and process of the interview. South Korea's talk shows are a little different from interviews like China's "Luyu Appointment", with a special emphasis on the atmosphere, and the overall atmosphere is relatively relaxed.

After the interview officially began, Zhang Ran and the others first introduced themselves and me, and then each talked about the interesting things in the movie.

However, this is obviously not what the host wants the most, and the male host asked: "Do you know anything about Korean movies, how many Korean directors do you know, and do you have any special favorites?"

In recent years, Korean films have begun to rise and begin to show their faces internationally, but the influence of Korean films is mainly in East Asia. Keanu Reeves and Adrien Brody really don't know anything about Korean movies, they can't talk about it at all, they can only honestly say that they don't know.

Zhang Ran saw obvious disappointment in the eyes of the two hosts, Koreans have a very strong self-esteem, if they don't say something good, they will get hurt, and once they are injured, it is estimated that the box office will not be better, and hurriedly said: "Korean films have developed very fast in recent years, especially genre films have done a particularly good job, and the genre is very mature in many themes, including love, thriller, suspense or something." As for the director, I am very good friends with director Park Chan-wook, and his "Old Boy" is particularly well made, and in addition, "Memories of Murder" directed by Bong Joon-ho is very well made, and it is difficult to make this kind of film that reflects the fate of small people in the context of the big era. My favorite movie, though, is Kim Ki-duk's Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter and Spring, which is a true masterpiece. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Ran added: "Now the whole world is facing a problem, how to fight Hollywood. As a cultural product, the most difficult thing to overcome is cultural differences, for example, "My Sassy Girlfriend" is a sensation in East Asia, but it does not have much repercussions in Europe and the United States. In fact, compared with the differences between the East and the West, the entire East Asian region belongs to a cultural circle, which can seek common ground while reserving differences, complement each other and achieve a win-win situation. Japan is the world's second largest box office market, South Korea is fifth, China has the greatest potential, with a population of 1.3 billion, and the number of moviegoers reached 29.3 billion in 78 years, and recently China's film market has also begun to rise strongly, adding nearly 800 screens in the first half of this year. If filmmakers in East Asia can continue to work together and communicate with each other, then we can make bigger films for each other!"

Sure enough, after listening to Zhang Ran's words, the host liked Yan Kai: "Director Zhang Ran, why do you like the movie "Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter and Spring"?"

Zhang Ran explained: "This movie is particularly oriental, with a Zen sense in it. Comparing life to the four seasons is a process of reincarnation, and what I want to express is the mixed joys and sorrows of life. Mixed feelings and sorrows are just a relatively virtual concept, according to each person's experience, understanding is different, what individuals see is different, this is not a movie that can be understood after watching it once, I believe that everyone can see different connotations every time they watch it. ”

The host looked at Zhang Ran and asked expectantly: "Director Zhang Ran, do you know anything about Korean actors, and will you cooperate with Korean actors in the future?"

Zhang Ran said: "I don't know many Korean actors, but I met Choi Min-sik when I was in Cannes, we had dinner together, and if we have the opportunity, we will definitely work together." As an actress, I appreciate Jeon Do-yeon more, I have watched her movies and am very impressed, she is a very good actor. If an actor can win an award at an international film festival, it must be her!"

The host asked, "You are an acting teacher, can you pass on some experience to young Korean actors?"

Zhang Ran said: "There is a problem in the film industry now, whether it is China, Japan, South Korea, or Hollywood, that is, the acting skills of young actors are generally very bad, and there are fewer and fewer actors who are willing to settle down and ponder their acting skills, and everyone only cares about making money." My advice is that young actors should put a little more effort into their performances, after all, acting skills are the foundation of an actor's life!"

After the broadcast of this talk show, netizens in South Korea set off a heated discussion, and Korean netizens were full of praise for Zhang Ran, and the number of fans soared.

"Zhang Ran Oba is so handsome, and he is so good at talking! Seriously, there is no director in our country who can compare with him, not only in appearance, but also in attitude. Our domestic directors are very self-righteous, as if they are really amazing. Look at Zhang Ran, how modest and cultivated he is!"

"Zhang Ran expressed his respect for South Korea and Korean movies in the interview, and one of the six spaces of "Time and Space Warrior" belongs to South Korea, Zhang Ran must have absorbed the excellent culture of South Korea, otherwise he would not have made such an excellent movie!"

"When will we have a director like Jang Ran in South Korea? Although Bong Joon-ho is good, the gap between him and Jang Ran is obvious, and he can't make an imaginative movie like "Time and Space Warrior". Hey, it would be nice if Zhang Ran were Korean!"

Zhang Ran didn't know what Korean netizens were talking about, and after only staying in Seoul for one day, he flew to France with the crew members for publicity. France is Luc Besson's territory, he has already arranged a qiē in place, and after Zhang Ran and they arrived in France, the whole publicity was in full swing, and the box office was bullish all the way. After the propaganda in France ended, Zhang Ran and the others flew to England to carry out propaganda.

After going around in a circle, Zhang Ran finally returned to China and started filming "The Aviator" again.

Just when "The Aviator" restarted filming, the weekly box office of "Time and Space Warrior" was freshly released.

In the eyes of people all over the world, "Time and Space Warrior" won a box office of 46.94 million in the second week of its release in North America, beating many new films and winning the box office championship, with a total box office of 95.4 million.

In second place is the comedy "Dodgeball" starring Vince Vaughn and Ben Stiller, which grossed 46.38 million. The film was supposed to be a strong contender for the Zhou title, but unfortunately it failed in the end and lost by a narrow margin.

In third place is "The Princess Diaries 2" starring Anne Hathaway, with a box office of 33.98 million. Eisner's original plan was to attract female audiences to weaken the box office of "Time Warrior" in the second week, but the reputation of "Time Warrior" was so good that it attracted many supporters of "The Princess Diaries", and the box office of "The Princess Diaries 2" was far lower than expected.

This week, "Harry Potter 3" was very stable, winning the fourth place with 24.34 million, "Shrek 2" ranked fifth with 19.3 million, and "Star Legends 2" only had a box office of 10.53 million, and "Around the Earth in Eighty Days" was only a pitiful 4.11 million, and both movies were lost.

In the summer season when blockbusters are gathered, winning the weekly box office for two consecutive weeks is definitely a miracle for a non-Hollywood movie. At this moment, the Americans were shocked, and the people of the world were also shocked!

In the same week, "Time Warrior" ranked first at the box office with 1.5 billion yen in Japan, 1.3 million in South Korea, first in France, with more than 980,000 French viewers, and 11 million in the United Kingdom......

In short, in this week, the box office of "Time and Space Warrior" was popular all over the world, and in more than 30 countries where it was released, it won the weekly box office champion of this country without any suspense.

The box office of Asia, North America, European streamers, and the box office of Australia and several countries in South America combined, the total global box office of "Time and Space Warrior" this week directly reached 154.94 million, becoming the global box office champion this week!

This is the first time that a Chinese film has won the global box office championship in a single week!

When the news came, the domestic media was naturally as excited as chicken blood, and spontaneously cheered for "Time and Space Warrior", which was really exciting.

Chinese fans were speechless with excitement, and the results of "Time and Space Warrior" were nothing short of mythical. Now everyone has only one idea, July 15th, hurry up!

Of course, "Time and Space Warrior" has wreaked havoc on another phenomenon around the world, and domestic movies that were originally intended to be released in the summer have fled. "Judo Dragon and Tiger List", which was originally scheduled to be released on July 8, was rescheduled to be released on August 15, and "Thousand Machines 2", which was originally scheduled to be released on August 2, was rescheduled to be released on August 15......

Zhang Yimou's blockbuster "Ambush on All Sides" was the first to escape, and after producer Zhang Weiping saw the premiere of "Time and Space Warrior" in Cannes, he immediately changed the schedule from the summer to the National Day. He knew that if he really bumped into "Time and Space Warrior", "Ambush on All Sides" would definitely fail!(~^~)
