Gathering the outside world, no one knows about this gathering, and no one knows that in just one dinner, Li Zhifan and Lao Ma reached a cooperation intention and are ready to jointly direct a movie before the end of the year.

Li Zhifan took over the task of the script and took it down, but this is the biggest headache for Lao Ma, because Lao Ma is a photographer, not a screenwriter, under the ready-made text script, he can use the lens to tell a very perfect story, but let him create a script by himself, sorry! He only has some brains and inspiration, and it is more difficult to write.

So Lao Ma is responsible for producing technology, and it is the most advanced technology in Hollywood, with Lao Ma's qualifications in Hollywood, this is a trivial matter, the key is to give him time, let him immerse himself in the production and shooting of the movie.

In their eyes, if this cooperation is successful, it will represent a further step forward in the market, money, culture, influence and many other aspects of Chinese films.

Matt Pfister stayed at the villa after dinner.

And Li Zhifan took the first step to say goodbye and leave, when he came out, Zhu Youxue had already left, and he did not spend the night in his own big mansion in the villa area - he didn't want to stay here for a moment, and planned to return to Shanghai this time, so he encouraged his father to sell this heartwarming house in the capital.

Two days later.

In the early morning of the 22nd.

"The Ten Nations Alliance" was released in many Asian countries.

After all, it is a famous director's film, and the quality and reputation will definitely not be bad, but the values presented in this movie are diametrically opposed to the Chinese people.

In the eyes of the Chinese people, even if they know defeat on the battlefield, they must fight hard until the last moment.

Instead of knowing the failure, he retreated.

In the movie "Ten Nations Alliance", the retreating general returned to Britain, but he was treated as a big hero, and even the protagonist, an ordinary soldier, enjoyed the supreme glory.

The director's portrayal of the war scenes is wonderful, but the whole movie is in a state of depression.

Because this is a realistic movie based on the history of World War II, there is no imagination, success or failure has been written into the history book, and it is impossible to change it, so only human nature is depicted.

The friendship and love on the battlefield are indeed beautiful, but the three views preached are not for friendship and love to fight to the end, but for friendship and love, so I have to retreat, I want to survive.

This kind of value can't be said to be wrong, especially in today's era, in fact, many people have accepted this set of Western theories, but in front of the overall national consciousness of the East, it is this set of theories that led to the tragic Waterloo of the movie.

The first to hear the news of the defeat was Japan.

Japan is a country where there are no guns and stones on the battlefield, and if you don't die in the tragic battle, you have to commit suicide by cutting your stomach, and in the consciousness of the whole society, the horse leather shroud is a glory, and not only does not accept this set of theories in the West, but often criticizes it.

In the history of the Ten Nations Allied War, there was a unit of the American Legion that were all Japanese, these people were Japanese Americans who were recruited from the American mainland at that time, and the historical reasons will not be repeated, but this army created a shocking move for the Western Legion in the European theater, when the commander-in-chief of the Allied Army announced the retreat, this Japanese army still tore apart with the hostile camp, bare-chested with sabers, stones, and guns that had no bullets, and rushed towards each other like a human wall.

Many commanders of the Ten Nations Allied Forces later commented: This is a perverted team.

Even though this unit belonged to the American Legion at that time and was the hostile camp of Japan at that time, they are also evaluated as heroes in today's Japanese society.

But in the movie "Ten Nations Alliance", this unit did not show up, nor did it describe them in a word.

Therefore, when this film was released in Western countries and its content was exposed, it was opposed by the Japanese people, and now it has entered a national boycott when it is released in Japan.

The next "bad news" came from South Korea.

The concept of Koreans on the battlefield is no worse than that of the Japanese, although it is not as perverted and absolute as the Japanese, but it is also the concept of advocating the concept that the heroes are the heroes who died on the battlefield and the horse leather shroud.

However, on the day of its release in South Korea, "Ten Nation Alliance" also won the second place, and the first was "Wolf Warrior", which was released in South Korea on the same day.

In fact, no matter which country it is, desperate heroes are very popular, even if it is a personal heroism movie in the West, it is mostly the same truth, but Western countries have an additional theory of "failure and retreat are also heroes", and in Eastern countries, this does not exist.

"The Ten Nation Alliance" failed in both Japan and South Korea at the same time, but these two countries were released an hour earlier than China due to the time difference, so the final box office was also released an hour earlier than China.

But the 23 hours after the release of "The Ten Nations Alliance" in China have formed a foregone conclusion, and the last hour is irremediable, not to mention that there is a pre-sale box office for reference, and the final box office is not far from ten.

An hour later, the overall box office of "Ten Nations Alliance" in China was released, and the box office of the mainland, Hong Kong, and Taiwan combined only sold about 46 million.

In terms of the percentage of the country's population, the average is lower than that of South Korea.

On the first day of its release in Asia, "The Ten Nations Alliance" was already doomed.

Matt Pfister arrives with a full heart and leaves gloomily.

When you set foot on the land of China, it was vigorous.

After four consecutive days of six promotional tours in six cities, there was no pause and left on the same day.

When I left, I was quiet and low-key, and I flew back to the United States from Pudong Airport in Shanghai.

It wasn't until he returned to Los Angeles the next day to participate in a Hollywood event that the Chinese people in China knew -

Oh! The old horse is gone!

……

"Wolf Warrior" shined in the Korean film market, and the box office has also been soaring.

First broke the box office record of Chinese films in South Korea!

And then it broke the box office record of a foreign film in South Korea!

Then the number of moviegoers broke the record!

Record-breaking attendance!

Two weeks after its release, it finally broke the records set by many local Korean films in the Korean market!

At this time, "Wolf Warrior" has won 5.3 billion box office in China, and finally managed to squeeze into the top 100 on the world box office list, ranking 91st.

The world box office rankings are very harsh on Chinese-language films, and they are not good at all.

It was already on the list when it was 4.5 billion, but the official required that the box office be reviewed, and it was their people who came to China to review it.

At that time, rumors were spreading, and there were man-made rumors about "Wolf Warrior" to brush the box office.

Li Zhifan also took advantage of this review to cooperate fully and prove his innocence.

The final review was passed, and the world box office ranking proved the authenticity of the box office of "Wolf Warrior", but this is already a week later, and the box office of Wolf Warrior has exceeded 4.9 billion.

After the review, after the official returned to the United States, it was another operation, all kinds of meetings, all kinds of discussions.

After all, there has never been an Asian film in the top 100 of the world box office, let alone "Wolf Warrior" is still a Chinese movie.

It wasn't until "Wolf Warrior" sold amazing box office in South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, and the Philippines that "Wolf Warrior" was finally allowed to take the position.

This dragged on for another week.

By the time "Wolf Warrior" appeared on the world box office charts, it was already $1.02 billion.

The results include all the box office at home and abroad, equivalent to 6.7 billion yuan.

This figure has been hyped by the media for another round, and the entire domestic network in dialects is all congratulating "Wolf Warrior", and even many big-name directors and actors have come out to take the opportunity to gain popularity.

However, "Wolf Warrior" has indeed brought trouble to many insiders, and now celebrities and directors are asked the most when interviewed by reporters: What do you think of "Wolf Warrior"?

Li Zhifan's own interviews are one after another.

Those unknown or too small media have completely stopped answering, and they are all so famous that they can't be pushed off, but even so, many well-known media throughout Asia have to queue up for interviews.

For such a movie to appear on the world box office list, the United States is also shocked.

They saw the wolf as an alien invader, and at the same time they had to show a friendly attitude.

The American "Time" magazine interviewed Li Zhifan, and he appeared on the cover of "Time".

"Global People" also interviewed Li Zhifan, not only on the cover, but also gave him two sections, dedicated to his growth record, artistic experience, all works, etc., and the bottom cover directly published the lyrics of "Chinese".

Everything is busy, moving towards the good side, and Li Zhifan has a feeling of expansion for the first time.

Other celebrities are inflated, and they can't feel it, only the people around him or the spectators around him can find it.

But Li Zhifan is different, he seems to clearly see that he has revealed an expansive side in many things.

This kind of expansion is not the same as arrogance, he does sometimes go crazy when he speaks in public, but his madness is like "I'm just a child of an ordinary family", "I just want to start a small business, who knows how to become a top 10 in the world".

Especially when I was interviewed in front of the world's media, I couldn't help but feel a little pretending to be a beep.

For example, in an interview with the Hollywood magazine "Film Review", he said over and over again:

"I didn't think that "Wolf Warrior" would have today's results, but I know that he should have such results!"

"Wolf Warrior is indeed a very good work, but it will not be the most accomplished work of my life, because I am still alive and have to work hard to ......"

"My first goal after I came into contact with movies was very simple, that is, to make a work with a box office of more than 100 million first. ”

"If I could do it all over again, I would definitely not enter the industry, filming is too tiring, I hope I can travel the world, go to all countries, live wherever I want, and rent a house!"

For his words, the comments of domestic netizens are particularly funny.

"Ahhh

"This forced pretend, it's really slippery!"

"This thing is simply forcing the king, why didn't you find it before? Now with a result like "Wolf Warrior", this guy is also starting to float, right?"

"I couldn't agree more!"

"Praise upstairs upstairs!"

"It's over, Li Zhifan accepted an exclusive interview with the British BBC again, this time I don't know how he is going to pretend to beep!"

"BBC reporter: Mr. Li Zhifan, don't you get tired of pretending to beep like this every day?"

He replied affirmatively, "I'm tired!" I want my life to do it all over again, don't let me do it again, I'm too tired!"

"Hahaha, upstairs imitation is in place!"

"Accurate! thumbs up upstairs!"

“……”

"Wolf Warrior" was successfully postponed for a month, and although the box office in the domestic film market dropped to about 10 million per day, there is still hope that the local box office alone will break 6 billion.

However, at the beginning of June, another movie "The Truman Show" produced by Men's Gang Film and Television was also released as scheduled.

"The Truman Show" got a box office of more than 100 million on the first day of its release in China, and it seems to continue the myth of "Wolf Warrior", and domestic fans also have this illusion about this movie.

However, the record of breaking 100 million yuan in "Truman Show" only lasted for two days, and it dropped to 70 million three days later.

Although it may be related to the working day, this is a news that can be used to dialectically match their own values for the majority of netizens.

"Look! Make two movies at the same time, one is a big hit, but the other is rough!"

"Have you all watched "The Truman Show"? I think the movie is better than "Wolf Warrior", especially the creativity and brains of the movie, which is amazing, but there is a problem that the ending is more disappointing, and it feels like it was not finished. ”

"The Truman Show is a story about reality shows, and after watching this movie, I began to doubt my environment, the world we live in, will it be a reality show scene? Behind this, there are more high-end human beings than us watching us perform? It's terrible!"

"The movie is very good, better than "Wolf Warrior", but the box office is not as good as Wolf Warrior. The score of "The Truman Show" in Beep is also a full two points higher than that of Wolf Warrior, getting 9, which shows a truth, good movies are not high at the box office, and not very good ones are big hits, isn't it?"

"Hey, I have to watch this movie again, I didn't understand it the first time, it's not as intuitive as "Wolf Warrior"!"

"I didn't expect Sun Youbin's acting skills to be quite online, I always thought that he would only giggle in variety shows, and when I ran away at the end of this movie, I cried!"

……

In addition to the Gang of Men, the producer of "The Truman Show" also has Mango Stage, which is different from "Wolf Warrior".

The producers of "Wolf Warrior" are Men's Gang Film and Television and Timeline Entertainment, which has nothing to do with Mango Channel, although Men's Gang Film and Television has a part of Mango Entertainment's equity, but it is only a part.

Therefore, Mango TV is working very hard to promote "The Truman Show", but Timeline Entertainment does not promote this movie too much.

Looking at the box office of tens of millions for two consecutive days, everyone thought that this movie was like this, especially when it fell to 50 million on the fifth day, everyone was about to lose confidence.

But at this moment, a phone call came, directly to Li Zhifan's mobile phone.

After answering the call, Li Zhifan smiled and contacted all the members of the Men's Gang one by one: ""The Truman Show" is going to turn over!"
