It can't be said that fans of Dragon Kingdom worship foreign flattery and superstitious authority, and when they saw "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" show their might in Cannes, they immediately changed their views on it.

In fact, the local filmmakers of Dragon Country also praised "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and praised it.

Including Hu Zhenlong, although he did not vote for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" when selecting the "Palme d'Or", it does not mean that he has a comprehensive negative attitude towards "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

The reason why Hu Zhenlong did not vote for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" when selecting the "Palme d'Or" is that he believes that "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has indeed not yet reached the level of winning awards, especially when there are films with better overall quality than it for comparison.

However, in terms of the martial arts film "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" alone, Zhao Zhenghao has reached the limit.

A slightly old-fashioned plot, this is unavoidable, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is an adaptation after all, and it is still an old-school martial arts from the forties of the last century, and it is inevitable that there will be some restrictions in terms of plot.

And Zhao Zhenghao's adaptation has added something to it, raising the film from a simple martial arts film to the height of an ethical film, if "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is just a simple martial arts film, then it may not even be shortlisted for the main competition unit of the Cannes Film Festival.

Zhao Zhenghao has set an example for directors who still have feelings for martial arts films in this regard, if you want to make martial arts films, you can add some of your own things to them according to your own ideas, as long as you don't destroy the charm of martial arts films.

And the most powerful thing about Zhao Zhenghao is that while carrying his own private goods into martial arts films, he retains the purest taste of martial arts films.

This is also the most important reason why "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" can be both inside and outside, and at the same time be accepted by Eastern and Western audiences.

The current film department in charge of Dragon Kingdom is already discussing internally the possibility of selecting "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" as this year's "Olympic" - to hit the Academy Awards.

According to the regulations of the Academy Awards, each country can only push one film a year to participate in the competition for the Academy Awards "Best Foreign Language Film Award", so although Zhao Zhenghao's goal in filming "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is the Academy Award, but whether it can be made or not, he can't decide himself!

With the rise of Dragon Kingdom Films, almost all the positions that can be occupied have been conquered, and even the most stubborn North American box office market, the box office of Dragon Kingdom Movies is rising year by year.

Now the only one who is still resisting is the Academy Awards!

Speaking of the Academy Awards, there is really no way for the Dragon Kingdom to give it a precise definition!

It is the award with the largest number of judges and from all over the world (including Dragon Country filmmakers), and it is also recognized as the most fair award in the selection process, and it is open to say that it is open, and it is also guarded by the face of the former world boss, unwilling to face the current reality, unwilling to bow to the increasingly powerful Dragon Kingdom films.

Especially after the film market of Dragon Kingdom surpassed North America and became the world's largest film market, the only bit of dignity left of the former world boss was the Academy Awards.

So, before that, Dragon Films, Dragon Filmmakers, and the hope of hitting the Academy Awards, after that, the Academy Awards almost closed the door to Dragon Country!

Originally, the filmmakers of the Dragon Kingdom can completely ignore this, if you don't take me to play, then I will start anew, strive for self-improvement, and finally compete with you!

In recent years, the three major international film festivals of Dragon Country have been paid more and more attention, and they have received more and more support and resources in all aspects, so that their international influence has been rising, which is the best proof.

Dragon Country filmmakers are extremely confident that one day, the film awards awarded by Dragon Kingdom will surpass the Oscars in influence!

However, before this day comes, it would be better if the Dragon Films and Dragon Filmmakers could make the Academy Awards have to bow their arrogant heads and open the door to Dragon Films and Dragon Films!

Others can't do this, so Zhao Zhenghao, who has repeatedly created miracles in the past few years, has also single-handedly captured the same stubborn Grammy Awards, and forced the Grammy Awards to open the door to Dragon Music and Dragon Country musicians, can he do it?

In fact, in the past few years, the film authorities of Dragon Kingdom have discussed many times the selection of Zhao Zhenghao's directorial works to represent Dragon Kingdom in the Academy Awards "Best Foreign Language Film Award" competition, "A Chinese Ghost Story" and "Journey to the West" have been included in the shortlist, only "Infernal Affairs 1", due to some practical problems, was not considered.

In the end, due to such and such problems, and Zhao Zhenghao and "Zhenghao Studio" were not active in this, "A Chinese Ghost Story" and "Journey to the West" did not happen.

Now, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" took the initiative to say that it wants to fight for this year's "Olympic" quota, and it is almost a hit with the film authorities!

According to the truth, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is indeed more characteristic of the Dragon Kingdom than "A Chinese Ghost Story" and "Journey to the West", and can better represent the traditional culture of the Dragon Kingdom.

Although "A Chinese Ghost Story" also has some martial arts elements, the film has a lot of oriental charm, but the ghosts and ghosts in the story are not very compatible with the politics of the Dragon Kingdom after all.

Although "Journey to the West" is adapted from "Journey to the West", one of the four most well-known classical masterpieces in the Dragon Kingdom, this adaptation is too avant-garde and bold, and it is too unruly to break through the tradition, and it is not very serious and stable.

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is appropriate, the genre of martial arts films is a unique film genre of the Dragon Kingdom, and the discussion of "Tao" in the film is also the embodiment of the unique traditional culture of the Dragon Kingdom.

In addition, the film also shows the rich and diverse cultural and natural environment in the vast area of the Dragon Kingdom, including desert yellow sand, bamboo forests and streams, white walls and green tiles in the south, and courtyards and terraces in the north.

Looking at this year's Dragon Kingdom movies, there is nothing more Dragon Country characteristics than "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and can spread the Dragon Kingdom culture more!

If "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" can't represent Dragon Kingdom in the competition for "Best Foreign Language Film" at next year's Academy Awards, then who else?

This matter is basically a foregone conclusion, and there is no way to change it!

Now, it's up to us to see how Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon will perform after its large-scale release, especially in the North American market!

The key is the audience's reputation and media evaluation, because this will directly affect whether "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" can get its wish and successfully win the "Best Foreign Language Film Award" at next year's Academy Awards.

As for the Dragon Country, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has already booked the nomination of the "Best Picture" of the next Golden Goat Award, Golden Dragon Award, and Golden Goblet Award in advance.

If there is a strong competitor, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" may win awards less frequently and the suspense will be greater; if there is no strong opponent, then "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is very likely to replicate the legend of "Infernal Affairs 1" winning the "Best Picture" of the three major international film festivals in Dragon Country, and create another good story!

Moreover, now "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" also has a task, that is, to take on the responsibility of competing for the audience and the box office with Hollywood blockbusters in the summer season when the curtain has opened!

Zhao Zhenghao's first few directorial works, although the box office has repeatedly achieved good results, but the release schedule is either an unpopular schedule like November, or a traditional strong schedule of Dragon Kingdom movies like the Spring Festival, and has not competed for the longest and highest-grossing summer file.

The summer file of the Dragon Country Film Market has always been a reserved place for European and American blockbusters, especially Hollywood superhero films, most of which are released during this schedule and harvest a lot of box office.

In the past ten years, there have been seven box office champions in the summer file of the Dragon Country Film Market, which are Hollywood blockbusters, and Dragon Kingdom's domestic films have only won the championship three times.

Although Dragon Country's film market has grown into the world's largest box office market, Dragon Kingdom's domestic film industry has also made considerable progress, and it has been beating imported films for many years in the comparison of total box office throughout the year.

However, the hundred-legged insect dies but does not stiffen, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the strength of Hollywood blockbusters is still not to be underestimated and needs to be taken seriously.

So far, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has performed well, far outperforming other films released in the same period, including a Hollywood superhero film.

Now it is up to us to see the audience feedback and film review reputation after the real release of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", if it can meet expectations, then it is not impossible to make new contributions to the domestic film of Dragon Country and win the box office champion in the summer of 2019, and even the annual box office champion.

A week passed in a blink of an eye, and the second episode of the second season of "The Voice of the Dragon Country" was broadcast simultaneously on Oriental Channel and Penguin Video as scheduled.

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" continued to carry out implanted publicity in this episode of the program, and An Shuyi, Liu Runze, and Ju Qinghao went into battle shirtless together to help Zhao Zhenghao wave the flag.

At the same time, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" also held a grand screening ceremony in Beijing, with a star-studded scene, which amazed fans.

Because the release ceremony of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was also broadcast live on Penguin Video, it also affected the ratings and on-demand volume of the second episode of the second season of "The Voice of the Dragon Kingdom" to a certain extent.

After the screening ceremony, the major theaters struck while the iron was hot and arranged a screening for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" in the late night session on Friday in advance.

This is a spontaneous act of major theaters, and it is not a requirement of "Zhenghao Studio" and Penguin Pictures, the distributor of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

This time, the major theaters did not cooperate to publicize, but just went their own way and publicized the matter through their own channels, but the audience who received the news was still unstoppable in their enthusiasm for buying tickets, and all tickets were sold out in a short period of time.

In just two hours, the real-time box office of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" never entered the list, and jumped to second place, less than 10 million away from the single-day box office champion.

In the next two days, it happened to be the weekend, and everyone had time, and other fans who had booked tickets for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" walked into the theater with great interest and anticipation to watch it;

As a result, outside the cinemas in many cities, there was a situation that made scalpers sigh - there were many movie fans who were willing to pay a high price to buy a movie ticket for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"!

Such a grand occasion is unheard of by young friends, who have only heard of someone asking for concert tickets at a high price, and have never seen anyone buying movie tickets at a high price!

The film scheduling managers of major theaters were moved by the enthusiastic attitude of the fans - in fact, because the money is not made in vain - through emergency coordination, a few more temporary schedules were added to "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", but it still could not meet the needs of fans!

100% attendance rate is already the norm in the screening halls of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" in major theaters, and it is no longer an exception.

At the end of the weekend, the box office statistics came out, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" on June 22, the first day of the release of the Dragon Kingdom's single-day box office, as high as 710 million, the next day of the release, that is, on June 23, the single-day box office of the Dragon Kingdom, as high as 870 million!

It only took two days to refresh the single-day box office record of the Dragon Kingdom movie box office list twice in a row!

Coupled with the 80 million box office accumulated during the early screening on Friday night on June 21, the total box office of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has accumulated to 1.66 billion!

At the same time, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", which was released simultaneously around the world, also received good news in the overseas box office market.

According to statistics, there are 28 countries in the world that have released "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" simultaneously, of which there are 15 countries with a cumulative box office of more than 10 million US dollars in two days!

Among them, the world's second largest box office, the highest box office in North America, with a cumulative total of $130 million in two days!

Echoing the skyrocketing box office, is the super high reputation of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"!

In Dragon Country, two days after its release, as many as 500,000 people have voted for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" on the largest film review website, with a score of 60 percent, and the current score of audience evaluation is 8.2 points for the time being.

This score doesn't seem too high, but it is already the highest score for martial arts films, and among the films released in the same period, the score is far ahead.

Compared with ordinary movie fans, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is more favored by professional film critics, and hundreds of professional film critics have rated "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" on the largest film review website in Dragon Country, which is currently as high as 8.8!

Among professional film critics, it is rare for a film to have a score of 9 points, and the score of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" can reach 8.8, which is already quite a remarkable achievement!

Although these two scores may fluctuate in the later stages, and the scores may decrease after the number of participants in the ratings increases further, the good situation has opened up, and the subsequent fluctuations will not have a big impact.
