Chapter 552: Mainstream VS Heterogene
In Hall 5 of the World Trade Center International Cinema, on the big screen, Unit 203 is happily defeating the bandits on Weihu Mountain. [No pop-up novel network]
Ed Wharton looked at the audience cheering and cheering, his face was full of astonishment, he had never seen the fanaticism on the faces of those people, it was not the demeanor of worshipping idol stars, it was more like a spiritual worship of noble beliefs!
Subtitles were played on the big screen, and the audience woke up like a dream, exclamations and cheers abounded, and several people rushed out frantically, surrounding the staff and asking, "Where is the bathroom?" ”
Most of the people stood up with excitement on their faces and read the subtitles, no longer having the same playful mood as when they came in, and everyone had a sense of pride on their faces, and every pair of eyes were full of life.
Ed Wharton heard the young man in front of him discuss:
"It turns out that the previous wars were so terrible...... If I had been born at that time, I would have collapsed. ”
"Alas...... I want to thank our martyrs, it is Yang Zirong and these people who work hard to make our country peaceful and peaceful......"
"Damn, I won't go online to scold our country in the future."
"Yes, it's not easy for our country to come over for so many years, let's go back to the library and see if there is any original work of Lin Haixueyuan, I want to see it."
"Okay, I heard that there is also a "Garland Under the Mountain" that is also about combat heroes, and I borrowed it together."
Ed Wharton looked at the young people in front of him in a daze, happily discussing the deeds of Yang Zirong's fighting heroes, feeling a little angry and a little panicked, why did one movie brainwash you all?
"...... What the hell is this country......" Ed Wharton went out in a rage, entering Hall 1, where the premiere of "Iron Man" was taking place.
When he looked up and saw Robert Downey Jr., on stage to receive the cheers of the fanatical fans, the rows of people below shouted frantically in English: "Downey~!" I love you! "Donnie~Donnie~!"
Ed Wharton's mood is a little better, isn't it, like a normal movie fan?
The handsome and humorous Iron Man is the highest achievement of commercial films, and Gu Xiaofan's damn red movie can only brainwash a small number of people.
Ed Wharton waved his hand in the audience, Robert Downey Jr. also winked at him confidently, and the audience was cheered and screamed by a tsunami, which made the lingering image of Yang Zirong in Ed Wharton's mind dissipate a little.
yes, he's thinking too much about it...... Ed Wharton muttered to himself.
No matter how fanatical "Outwitting Tiger Mountain" can make those people, after all, catering to the public's aesthetics is the most important thing, what Spielberg's "Saving Private Ryan" did not do, a Chinese work, is it worth worrying about?
Look, when the box office data comes out, everyone will know who is the final winner of this war.
On the other hand, after the premiere of "Outwitting Tiger Mountain", Gu Xiaofan was not immersed in the worship of everyone, and together with He Tiejun, he went directly to the National Film Bureau.
Although theaters around the country are now counting tickets online and can get box office data in the fastest time, each film company can only check its own box office data and cannot know other opponents.
If you want to know the development trend of the whole situation, you can only go to the CNC center of the National Film Bureau.
And He Tiejun and Gu Xiaofan pushed the door into the CNC center in a hurry, and they were stunned as soon as they entered the door.
Because they found that Han Sanpin and Wang Zhongjun, who had cheered him for the premiere before, had come here early, and not only them, but also Bao Lidong of Guangguang Media, Yu Dong of Huaxia Pictures, and the CEOs of more than a dozen film companies in the mainland, large and small, were all ......
Gu Xiaofan couldn't help but be a little surprised, weren't Han Sanpin and Wang Zhongjun mortal enemies before? Why are they acting so unanimously now?
Gu Xiaofan didn't know that during his time in the San Francisco City Prison, Huayi and China Film had reached an agreement on the summer file, because when they were in the screening association, Director Liu of the Film Bureau had ordered them to let the theater schedule films independently under the premise of this year's Olympic year, and they would never be allowed to put pressure on them, so Huayi and China Film had reached a strategic cooperation privately.
After all, under the premise of the general battle against Hollywood, all domestic film companies have the same position.
In the past week, almost every night, the top leaders of these film companies will guard the data changes in the CNC room of the film bureau, and send people to carry out public relations work with theaters in various places according to the box office situation in various places.
The eight major theaters are free to arrange the screen allocation this time, and Hollywood and they must beg these people in the theater.
"Director Gu, Manager He, you are here~Come and sit down~"
When the obese Bao Lidong saw Gu Xiaofan coming in, he hurriedly carried two chairs over, excitedly pointed to the pieces of real-time changing data on the computer screen, and said excitedly:
"Look at it, your "Outwitting Tiger Mountain" is too hot at the box office today~ It's just bursting, 14 theaters, 600 theaters, 1200 screens are released at the same time, and in less than 3 hours now, you have got a box office of 5.97 million!"
Saying that, Bao Lidong excitedly asked the technician to zoom in on the theater data of different cities, and put his arm around Gu Xiaofan's shoulders and said excitedly:
"Director Gu, you see~ This is Tianhe Cinema in Guangzhou, they alone have a box office of 40,000, this is Xintiandi Cinema in Shanghai, they also sold a box office of 30,000, and our Huaxing Cinema in Yanjing also sold a box office of 30,000......
Director Lu of Bayi Studio, who was talking on the phone next to him, also put down the phone and pointed to the screen and said excitedly:
"Just now Lao Cao called from there, the Lanzhou Theater in Gansu has been forced to open a small hall to screen due to the shortage of tickets for "Outwitting Tiger Mountain", and the data is not counted, if you join, the number of viewers of "Outwitting Tiger Mountain" across the country has reached nearly 300,000~!"
Gu Xiaofan nodded calmly, this is actually similar to what he expected, relying on the momentum of his return as a torch hero, tonight's "Outwitting Tiger Mountain" must be full.
Next to him, Wang Zhongjun crossed his hands on his chest and looked at Han Sanpin expressionlessly: "Mr. Han, if it goes on like this, I'm afraid that "Outwitting Tiger Mountain" will break the single-day box office record just created by your "Red Cliff"?" Your Chibi box office today has fallen below 15 million in a single day. ”
The secretary next to him brought Han Sanpin a glass of water at this time, Han Sanpin took a sip and turned his head to ask He Tiejun, but his eyes looked at Gu Xiaofan:
"Manager He, do you want to know the situation in Hollywood?"
