Chapter 458 [Will Be a Dark Horse (Second Update)]

Throughout June, "Barbossa" was screened in dozens of theaters in North America.

There were no premieres, no large-scale media campaigns, just a questionnaire that Warner asked theaters to hand out.

The scale of the screening is not large, and only three movie theaters in the whole of California participate in the screening. Many audiences attracted by the publicity want to see it in advance, and they can only drive a long distance to find the cinema where it is shown, and Chen Yun is one of them.

Chen Yun is a Chinese student studying in California, and he also works part-time as an outdoor anchor of the panda platform in California in his spare time.

The ID of the panda is called "It doesn't rain in California", and he usually broadcasts some of his study and life in California in his spare time, and occasionally takes the audience to see the NBA and the like. Because the time difference between the United States and China is too great, it is often the middle of the night in China when he broadcasts live during the day, so his popularity is not high, and the highest is only hovering between tens of thousands of people.

He took his girlfriend today to watch the screening of "Barbossa", and he didn't plan to broadcast it live, but he came too early and was too bored, so he temporarily started broadcasting on his mobile phone. Unexpectedly, after he typed the title of "A Glimpse: Brother Jia North America will take you to watch the movie "Barbossa" in advance", even in the middle of the night, the live broadcast room was still full of popularity, and more than 800,000 viewers watched in a short period of time.

Chen Yun saw the barrage flying all over the screen, and suddenly felt that Yali Mountain was big, and he couldn't even speak.

Girlfriend or something, naturally also neglected. Fortunately, his girlfriend is also very excited, after all, being followed by hundreds of thousands of people is something that has never been done before.

Walking into the cinema, looking at the past, you can easily see the huge poster of "Barbossa" from the hall of the theater - Chen Ergou carries a jungle knife on his waist, stands high on the mast, and the huge Spanish galleon Barbossa is full of gold and gems to brave the wind and waves, as if it is about to come out of the poster.

There is also an exaggerated promotional slogan below, with Hero-Chen's English name in the center, and the logos of Warner Bros. Pictures and Reservoir Dogs Studios below, which are also prominently displayed.

On the big screen on the other side, several trailers were played, and "Barbossa" was also played. Among them, the exquisite pictures, all kinds of extraordinary action adventures, the picture of Chen Ergou playing handsome and posing with a sunny smile, the magical mechanism in the pirate tomb, the collapse of the secret room filled with seawater, and the thrilling scenes are endless.

The mysterious threatening call received in the middle flashed by, giving the trailer a touch of suspense. If these are true, I am afraid that this is the first time that they have been exposed. After that, the experience of competing with the enemy and rushing to the sea to find the treasure island is also flashed in the trailer. Fighting sharks at the bottom of the sea and encountering mercenaries on the islands are highlighted. Especially the scene of fighting with flying knives and bullets, and even RPGs appeared, which stunned the audience: "Is this really a documentary and not a special effects movie?"

The final image of the trailer is a lavish auction in New York. During the period when the figures of superstars such as Jordan, Leonardo, and Mildew were flooded, from the wilderness to the gorgeous banquet hall, it seemed to be at the peak of life, which was enough for countless dicks.

After watching the full trailer, the audience feels that this is simply a wonderful Hollywood adventure blockbuster, with various Hollywood commercial elements emerging in an endless stream, and it looks full of selling points.

In the live broadcast room, the sailors watched it over and over again, and every time it was the turn of "Barbossa", they brushed out the blockbuster "666".

"The poster art is good, and it feels brighter than the domestic poster. ”

"It's not fair, why are the trailers in the United States longer than in the country!"

"The English name of the dog master, has it finally been determined to be called Hero? I think Nicholas is more compatible with the dog master, agree with +1"

“+1”

“+10086”

"The anchor went to ask if anyone else came to watch the screening?"

"Is this the premiere of the dog master, why is there no one? ”

"Don't spread rumors upstairs, it's just a screening in the United States, and it hasn't been officially released yet......"

The theater is doing good business, coinciding with a large audience on weekends, but there is no guarantee that it will come to see "Barbossa". At the request of the audience, Chen Yun also pretended to be a reporter and interviewed several viewers who watched the movie. I found that there were not many viewers who were attracted to this documentary at the same time, including English-speaking Chinese and more white. Everyone came to see the same movie, and suddenly there was a common topic, and when they learned that Chen Yun and Chen Ergou were live on the same live broadcast platform, they inevitably had to say some opinions.

The domestic audience is very fresh, it turns out that the dog master is already so famous in the United States.

Unexpectedly, he quietly left the novice village and began to open the advanced map alone.

Chatting and chatting, the screening time was approaching, and Chen Yun naturally couldn't bring everyone into the theater to watch the movie, "Audience, the movie is about to start." I'm going to go in and have a look, and it's over in about two hours, and if you're still interested, I'll start the show again and tell everyone about my experience and interview other viewers by the way. ”

Two hours passed quickly, and there was applause in the cinema, followed by a staff member handing out questionnaires.

Chen Yun and his girlfriend were both excited, and they did not hesitate to give an A+ evaluation.

He hasn't forgotten the agreement with his friends, and will restart the broadcast after leaving the theater. Audiences poured in one after another, watching that Chen Yun had already begun to act as a reporter, interviewing some viewers who had just watched the movie.

"Barbossa" did not disappoint them, although it is a documentary, the tense and exciting plot is interlocking, the suspenseful atmosphere and the hot action scenes are breathless. In the real pirate treasure room, there are all kinds of mechanisms and a dazzling array of treasures.

Even if the final grand auction is completely a star counting conference, it is still full of selling points.

The most outrageous thing is that all these pictures are all really happening, isn't it exciting enough?

"It's not an exaggeration to say it's a rare action-adventure movie!"

"It's definitely a rare top-notch action movie!

"The soundtrack is very good, the rhythm is very burning, especially the follow-up shots are simply amazing, I heard that there are many super long shots that are all in one shot, very powerful!A+"

"I think it's a bit beyond reality, is this really all real scenes, real documentary? The movie is very good, but I'm sorry, I don't believe them, I can only give B-"

Most of them give A-level evaluations, and those sailors who watch the live broadcast in China are also itching when they hear the translation of "It doesn't rain in California", and they can't wait to see the movie in China tomorrow.

Jenner, a special film critic at the Los Angeles Times, is also one of the audience who has just watched the movie, and in her opinion, the film contains all the ordinary people's blind imagination about pirate treasures, but one is crooked in the heart, and the other is a real experience. As a documentary, the film is flawed, and if you look for loopholes in the plot, you can even easily find a few, but because it really happened, it doesn't matter about the plot.

From the very beginning of picking up leaks in Morocco and finding the pirate scimitar, it is full of legendary adventures. The plot of the film that seeks and goes through difficulties, solves difficulties, and survives in a desperate situation shocked her.

"Maybe this movie will be a dark horse in the summer file!"

This thought popped into her head.

……

What Chen Yun didn't expect was that he watched a movie live by chance, but was caught by domestic reporters. The next day, the Internet began to be filled with all kinds of news about the American screening of "Barbossa".

True and false, some say that they hit the street, some say that they have rave reviews, and each insists on making the audience confused.

When most netizens see these news, they may have a sense of expectation, maybe they just watch it, but Huayi Pictures, as the producer of "The Great Earthquake", will not despise it so much.

After Feng Xiaogang saw the news the next day, he felt unsure, and found Wang Zhongjun's office and asked what was the reputation of "Barbossa" in the United States?

These news, Huayi must have researched.

As the older generation of Chinese films, you can have a heart, that is, to let domestic films go out, and the most important thing is to enter the North American market. But this wish, after several generations of efforts, has not been realized.

Could it be that this hairy young man will find another way?

Wang Zhongjun naturally also paid attention to the performance of "Barbossa" in North America, and comforted Feng Dacang not to worry, "I heard that word-of-mouth is good, but in recent years, there are still few examples of word-of-mouth and no box office in domestic screenings? Although the other party has the support of Wanda Cinemas, we have the support of the entire Beijing circle, and it must be foolproof. ”?
