430 "Super Cop Story" released!
When the Kunlun martial arts fight was in full swing, the new Kunlun MAX and Kunlun GP were also held. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Now Kunlun MAX is no longer the original invitation system, but a player registration system, in just two years, Kunlun has registered and signed more than 500 boxers.
And this is also because the Kunlun MAX registration standards are very strict, and if you follow the standards of the Korean ROADFC, it is estimated that thousands of registered kickboxers are also possible.
At the same time, Kunlun GP has also changed to a semi-registered and semi-invited, and next year, it will completely become a registration system, and it is no longer necessary to invite top fighters to participate in the expansion of fame, but these top fighters will increase their fame through Kunlun fighting!
At the same time, Kunlun KLF Unlimited Fighting also began to confront ROADFC head-on, and officially launched the first Kunlun KLF Unlimited Fighting Competition.
Although the method is simple and crude, it has to be admitted that it is very effective, after all, professional fighting is different from the original athletes, professional fighting is a commercial competition, business is naturally for money, whoever pays more money will go where to fight!
Therefore, in professional martial arts, there will hardly be a Cuban boxer, because there are 8 million Cuban people standing behind him, so he can give up entering the profession without hesitation and compete in the Olympic arena for his homeland.
That is, under Huang Yifei's Kunlun offensive, Japan's K1 fighting competition officially announced its closure, which is almost the same as the time in history. However, this time, K1 did not find a Chinese Hong Kong Island company to take over, and it turned into a fighting competition "operated" by China. Due to the existence of Kunlun Fighting Company, K1 is destined to disappear from history, and no company dares to take this plate.
Approaching the Lunar New Year, Huang Yifei led all the team members and Chen Jingyi back to China, but this year's New Year, Huang Yifei is not very easy, because he still has one important thing to do, that is, to attend the press conference and premiere of "Super Police Story"!
Huang Yifei has always put the phrase "doing a line of love and a line" in his heart, and he must have professional ethics in doing a line. If you can't do that, then you might as well not get involved in this profession. So even if it is the Chinese New Year's Eve, Huang Yifei still came to Yanjing, and the entire crew members of "Super Police Story" will wait for the first movie in the early morning in Wanda Cinema.
"Super Police Story" has actually set off a big storm in China in the past two months of Cheng Long's promotion, and the expectation value has been as high as eight points before it is released, which is a very rare score for a domestic movie.
Because of many so-called "small freshness", in the absence of any judging criteria, domestic films are automatically subtracted by one to two points, and Hollywood generally adds one or two points. Of course, this is also related to the fact that there have been many bad movies in China, but it is true that many people have a subjective emotion towards domestic movies.
But in any case, at least this movie has shown enough sincerity from the publicity and trailer, and has also won unanimous praise from the audience and fans. After all, Huang Yifei went to a place like the Golden Triangle to shoot on the spot, and many actors could not have this courage.
In the afternoon, Huang Yifei met Cheng Long and the crew members in Wanda Cinema, Cheng Long patted Huang Yifei's shoulder very cordially and said: "Yifei, I still let you come over for the premiere during the Chinese New Year, I'm not used to it." ”
"Brother Cheng Long, look at what you said, I am the starring actor in this play, and even you arrived from Hong Kong Island, how can I not even have this professionalism?"
Hearing Huang Yifei say this, Cheng Long nodded with satisfaction, this is his original intention to pass on the super IP (intellectual property) of the police story to Huang Yifei for free, because Huang Yifei is different from the little fresh meat that is full of the film industry now, he is a practical combat faction, and he does everything himself, without the arrogance and condescension of being a boxing superstar and a Chinese super athlete.
Huang Yifei's temperament made Cheng Long see a kind of purity, which is completely different from those actors who even have to be stand-ins for memorizing lines in literary dramas, this is the actor and super cop he needs!
After greeting Cheng Long for a few words, Huang Yifei greeted each other with the other members of the crew, especially Tony Jia, who always had a deep apology on his face when he saw Huang Yifei, because when he was in the Golden Triangle, he was the one who came to contact all parties to ensure safety, and this kind of thing happened.
However, Huang Yifei hugged Tony Jia very generously, because Tony Jia can't be blamed for this kind of thing at all, this is itself a warlord organization supported by the Thai government, what can Tony Jia do as an actor? Even if he is a Thai Bruce Lee-like figure, but his personal power is insignificant in the face of state violence organs.
Zhang Jin and Huang Yifei also hugged warmly, because this time Huang Yifei not only cooperated with Zhang Jin in this "Super Police Story", but also invited Zhang Jin to endorse the spokesperson of the Kunlun martial arts fighting event.
Although Kunlun martial arts fighting is just an event held by Huang Yifei to help the reform of traditional martial arts, he has never thought about anything in return. But Huang Yifei also knows very well that modern martial arts events are commercial competitions, and if you want to truly become an evergreen, you can't rely on your own desperate support, you must show your commercial value in order to attract the world's martial arts masters to join.
Therefore, Zhang Jin became the spokesperson of Kunlun martial arts fighting, and as a film and television star, he was able to let more people know about the Kunlun martial arts fighting event. In fact, Huang Yifei originally wanted to invite Wu Jing, after all, he is also a martial arts athlete, and he is even more famous.
It's just that Huang Yifei and Wu Jing really have nothing to do with each other, and Zhang Jin came to the front of the stage from behind the scenes, and he is also in the rising period of his career and fame, and it is not bad to invest in a potential stock.
Judging from the current situation, Huang Yifei's choice is right, at least Kunlun martial arts fighting can start to make a profit in the first event. With profits, more investment can be added to the event, and Huang Yifei even has the intention of holding a professional martial arts training base, so that these traditional martial arts practitioners can receive more scientific and efficient training methods in modern times.
However, if this vocational training base is really built in accordance with professional standards, the investment will be a bottomless pit. Huang Yifei knows very well how much his training cost is, and hundreds of people join, even if it is a fraction of Huang Yifei's training cost, it will be astronomical.
Kunlun Wulin's 100 million advertising naming fee, excluding all the costs, is estimated to be unable to even make a splash. Huang Yifei didn't want those good martial arts seedlings who had no money to decline, at least he still had to reach the profit level of the boxing organization in Kunlun and subsidize some of them.
In this way, Huang Yifei suddenly found that he had earned enough money for a lifetime, and it seemed that he was starting to get a little worse again, and it seemed that he still needed to continue on the road of making money!
At ten o'clock in the evening, thousands of specially invited media and film critics were present at the premiere, and several Chinese and foreign stars came to the scene to support Huang Yifei, including Tyson, Stallone, Zeng Zidan, Yao Ming and others.
Huang Yifei and other crew members also dressed up backstage, and then walked onto the stage from behind the scenes under the leadership of Brother Cheng Long. Many film critics and invited media friends stood up to pay tribute to Cheng Long and Huang Yifei.
The reason why they pay tribute is not how good this movie is now, but to pay tribute to a screen superhero in their hearts, who finally found the inheritance when they are old, this is the Chinese's own super police, and should not disappear in the long river of history with the aging of the years!
When he saw this scene, Huang Yifei felt a sense of relief in his heart, in addition to his own partner, it is estimated that only Cheng Long can be supported by movie stars of the level of Tyson and Stallone, after all, he has created an era of kung fu comedies.
Huang Yifei remembered in his mind that when Cheng Long won the Oscar Lifetime Achievement Award, he said to Stallone in the audience that he had been envious of Stallone's Oscar statuette for decades, and finally won this Oscar statuette himself decades later.
After the group took their seats, they began to tell the story behind the filming and other things under the drive of the host on the spot. For this kind of storytelling plot, it is really not what Huang Yifei is good at, after all, he is used to simple and crude provocations, and he speaks with his fists if he is not convinced, and he really can't do this kind of thing affectionately.
All these things were answered by professional actors, and Huang Yifei just smiled and nodded in agreement next to him.
However, as the focus of tonight, Huang Yifei's low-key nature naturally cannot satisfy the film critics and reporters at the scene.
Soon, a reporter from Fenghuang.com (not a typo, some domestic media below will use homophony and similar words) asked: "May I ask Brother Cheng Long, what is your evaluation of Huang Yifei's performance during the filming?"
After Cheng Long heard this question, he gave a thumbs up to the Phoenix reporter and said: "You asked this question very well, even if you don't ask, I want to emphasize that Yifei's professionalism in the filming process is enough to make many professional actors embarrassed." Especially some of the little fresh meat I have worked with, I just want this kind of cross-border actors to be so dedicated and diligent, what about you?"
"If it goes on like this, then I can only send you five words, see when you finish!"
Cheng Long's sharp words came out, which made many reporters present gasp, this is simply a magnified range attack, how many people in the entertainment industry have been hit?
On the other side, a Xinhua reporter seized the gap and began to ask: "Mr. Huang Yifei, when you were filming in the Golden Triangle, you happened to encounter the Mekong River tragedy. According to the grapevine, your entire crew was kidnapped by a local warlord, I would like to ask what happened during this time and how did you get out?"
Huang Yifei has long been mentally prepared for this problem, because this matter was hyped on the Internet, but Huang Yifei was not in China, so he missed a lot of media harassment and interviews.
After all, such a big matter involved hundreds of staff members from China, the United States and Thailand at the beginning, plus thousands of spectators in the underground boxing arena, including many Chinese audiences, and it was impossible to keep it secret. However, Gebaye's rule is that you are not allowed to bring in mobile phones and filming equipment when entering the underground boxing ring, so what happened at the beginning was all dictated, and there was no video data to prove it.
That is, there is a lack of the most powerful evidence, so the Internet will be divided into two factions, one group thinks that this is too fantastic, and it has no impact, it is estimated that it is a rumor. The other faction is convinced that what is happening, many people have broken the news on the Internet, and they can all overlap with each other, this cannot be a coincidence and a fabricated story!
Huang Yifei picked up the microphone and said without too much hesitation: "When I was filming in the Golden Triangle, I happened to encounter the Mekong River tragedy, and I would like to express my condolences to the compatriots who died here. As for the kidnapping you said, it didn't happen, and I'm standing here intact now, and the successful release of the movie is the best proof of this. ”
Huang Yifei directly denied what happened at the beginning, first, Huang Yifei didn't want to get involved in these troubles, and the best way was not to admit it. In addition, Huang Yifei's matter has actually been known by the Ministry of Public Security, and he has also been in contact with Huang Yifei, hoping that he can keep it secret What happened at that time, Huang Yifei has no way to say what he wants to say.
Hearing Huang Yifei's direct denial, many reporters showed disappointed expressions on their faces, and they were still waiting for a big news.
At the same time, the Penguin reporter also launched his own question: "Huang Yifei, I want to hear your views and expectations on this movie." ”
"Finally someone is focusing on the movies. Huang Yifei made a joke, which also made many people at the scene laugh. Indeed, as the premiere of a movie, the problems almost have little to do with the movie.
"I'm very confident in this film. Because we have our own super police as a background, coupled with Hollywood's production capabilities, as well as action coaching teams such as Cheng Jiaban, as well as a luxurious and powerful performance lineup, this is destined to be a movie that reaches the level of high-quality products. ”
"There is not always a reward for paying, but there will never be a great return if you don't pay. At least this movie, I dare to say that it brings together the most powerful team and production in China, and every penny is really spent on the movie, not on the labor fees of a few of us, so I have the confidence to say to the fans who come to support it, this is a movie that can definitely be worth your ticket price!"
And the box office and word-of-mouth after the release of "Super Police Story" also proved that what Huang Yifei said was true. In fact, it's not that China can't make any good movies, it's because of the deformed star market, which has led to a decline in the level of film production. With a total investment budget of 100 million, the actor's labor fee will be 70 or 80 million, and what can be filmed with only 20 or 30 million?
After the press conference, the movie premiere also began, in fact, this is the first time Huang Yifei has seen the full video he shot. After the editing was completed, Cheng Long said that he would show Huang Yifei first, but Huang Yifei refused.
Because he knew that he didn't know anything about post-production, and he couldn't give any professional guidance after reading it. And after knowing the editing content of the film in advance, then there is no way for him to watch the premiere seriously, so Huang Yifei would rather use the perspective of an ordinary audience to watch this movie for the first time in the cinema, and it is also the first movie in which he becomes the protagonist.
After the premiere, the word-of-mouth of "Super Police Story" has skyrocketed, and many people are willing to become "self-funded water army" to help Huang Yifei promote and promote this movie. The box office exceeded 1.2 billion in 10 days of release, and the box office exceeded 2 billion in the global simultaneous release, and it directly won nearly 100 million US dollars at the box office in North America.
Maybe this number can't be compared with those super Hollywood blockbusters, which cost hundreds of millions of dollars or billions of dollars at every turn. But such box office data has also surpassed "Hero" and reached the second place in the North American box office Chinese films, only a gap of more than $30 million from the historical record of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" of $128 million, and there are still about 20 days in the release period of a month.
Although the box office data will definitely plummet, it also gives people hope to surpass the historical record.
Such a brilliant achievement can be said to be something that Huang Yifei did not expect and is reasonable. Huang Yifei previously estimated that the box office would exceed one billion, but he did not expect the global box office to exceed two billion.
But considering his global fame, Cheng Long's joining and the appeal of the "Police Story" series, coupled with Hollywood productions and leading movie stars in other countries, and most importantly, excellent productions, such achievements are no exception.
The one-month release period passed quickly, and Huang Yifei and the others also returned to the United States to continue their training. The entire "Super Cop Story" finally won more than 2.5 billion yuan at the global box office, and 120 million at the box office in North America, but in the end it still did not surpass "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" to become the No. 1.
But Huang Yifei is very satisfied with this achievement, not only to bring him a lot of benefits, but also to win the Oscar title before January 31, including the best foreign language film, the best visual effects, the best art direction, the best sound editing and other four titles, this is also a Chinese film after many years of absence, once again hit the Oscar!
