Chapter 668 The Undertaker is released

Jiang Wen, Zhou Runfa, and Ge You are the three major actors, and the three major actors are in one play, which almost made the audience in theaters across the country laugh. [No pop-up novel network]

Looking at the momentum of "Let the Bullets Fly", Jiang Wen, the box office poison of 10,000 years, has turned over this time, and should be able to break through the 700 million box office mark and become the second mainland director to reach this box office figure at the box office.

At the same time, at the other end of the Pacific Ocean, the world's largest film market is also in full swing for Christmas.

Christmas in North America is usually not the stage for blockbuster blockbusters, and on this day when people all over the United States are happy with their families, everyone likes to watch some heartwarming family movies.

Describing life, inspirational, praising family emotions, love, these are the themes of the Christmas schedule.

This year is no exception, take a look at the top 10 of the leaderboard.

Fox's "Marley and Me," "Yes Man," Disney's "Bedtime Fairy Tale," Sony's "Seven Pounds," Universal's "Rejuvenation," and Warner's "Four Christmases" are all such themes.

And these movies have won a total box office of 30 million to 100 million, and no one can open up much of a gap.

And on December 27, the first Sunday after Christmas, there is another film for actors and critics that makes them even more curious.

That is the Chinese-language movie "The Undertaker" that was released in only seven theaters in New York, Los Angeles and other cities.

When they went to buy tickets, many critics were surprised to find that tickets for the two theaters in Los Angeles had already been sold.

Chinese fans on the West Coast have already packed the tickets for these two screening halls, and many of them queue up in the theater in the early morning, and everyone flocks to the theater as soon as it opens in the morning to sell tickets.

What's even more exaggerated is that not all of these people who stay up late to buy tickets are die-hard fans of Gu Xiaofan, and there are many old men and aunts, after they buy a movie ticket for $6-12, they can usually be sold for more than $100 as soon as they change hands, and if they are in a good location, they can even be sold for $300.

Many fans from China have spared no expense in order to be able to watch Gu Xiaofan's new film for the first time, which also makes the tickets for these movies rise.

This also led to the fact that film critics throughout Los Angeles almost did not buy tickets for "The Undertaker".

Comparatively, the situation in New York is relatively good, but the tickets are also sold out early.

Fortunately, the premiere of "The Undertaker" was in New York, and the tickets for this premiere were released by Gu Xiaofan on the website of the Actors Guild.

In addition to those like Spacey who want to review it badly after watching it, there are also a small number of actors who are really interested in this movie.

There are still a lot of tickets that no one has received, and filmmakers who are interested in art films can get tickets for the premiere through familiar actors.

Among the audience who came this time, there were a considerable number of the six major producers, of course, they were not here to cheer for Gu Xiaofan.

The purpose of their visit is very simple, that is, to see the competitors of this "Oscar-winning foreign language film" and see what kind of film "The Undertaker" really looks like.

This is easier to target, and it is used to lobby those Oscar judges.

When night falls, moviegoers are heading to the cinema, and in front of 7 theaters in 4 major cities, many fans are waiting for the start of this Chinese-language movie.

In December in New York, the weather is very cold, the sky is drifting with light snow, and the New York Artists Performance Theater is already crowded.

Usually, this art theater converted from an opera house often shows old movies of Fellini and Bergman, but today it ushered in a new film "The Undertaker" from China, but instead hung up red lanterns to render the atmosphere and look new.

And this time, because it was an internal screening, there was only an actors' union in the entire venue, and people from various film companies had already entered with invitation tickets, so there was no ordinary fan congestion.

Liu Shishi was wearing a set of pale pink thin sweaters, smiling and standing side by side with Gu Xiaofan at the door of the theater, looking at the English poster that read: "Director Gu Xiaofan; Produced by Black Feather Studio" for a long time, he looked away.

"Damn the Big Six, don't let you have a poster on your face, don't let me see their people today." Liu Shishi bit her lip, waved her fist, and said resentfully:

"Otherwise, I'm going to punch these bastards in the face."

York, the black guy in charge of the distribution next to him, looked at this somewhat violent Chinese female star and couldn't help but smack his tongue at Gu Xiaofan:

"Director Gu, your girlfriend is so fierce...... What about the one who spoke very softly last time? ”

York and the immortal Chen Keer never forgot it, Gu Xiaofan quickly glared at him, thinking, mother's ...... If you want Sister Shi to hear this, it will be a big problem!

Liu Shishi's tantrum at the door of the theater obviously attracted it, and the eyes of many American actors and producers were so frightened that they retreated again and again, wondering where did this Chinese kung fu actress come from?

And the producers of the Big Six are also quietly observing these competitors, Warner's ace manager, and that hook-nosed Moki is also among them......

At this time, Liu Shishi was muttering in his mouth: "If that bastard Spacey dares to come, I must break his head." At that time, I saw a well-dressed white man about 50 years old with bald hair coming in at the entrance of the theater, followed by a handsome Mexican guy about 30 years old.

Behind them was a large line of old white men over 60 years old, all with serious faces.

The tough 50-year-old man with a full face is Shi Spacey who Liu Shishi wants to "shoot his head".

At this moment, the filmmakers waiting in the theater were slightly surprised, no one expected that Spacey, an old thorn, would really appear today......

And behind him are some old Broadway actors, many of these people were celebrities in the film industry when they were young, and they took a back seat when they were old, and they ...... Almost all of them are current judges at the current Oscars.

Seeing that the powerful New York film school was pouring out, the filmmakers of the Big Six quickly got up and said hello to them.

These old-timers are usually just insignificant little people, but on the eve of the announcement of the Oscar nominations, they are important goals for everyone to strive for.

And Spacey swaggered past Gu Xiaofan and Liu Shishi's side, looked at the two of them with a look of disdain, and said in a deep voice:

"Director Gu, thank you for the tickets, I invite these old friends to come and see it, don't you mind."

The filmmakers who were waiting for admission all thought this thing was interesting, this thorn met the villain, and Spacey directly provoked Gu Xiaofan.

No one noticed that Gu Xiaofan looked at the old Oscar judges behind him, a trace of joy flashed in his eyes, and then looked at Spacey with satisfaction Holding his hand:

"Mr. Spacey, I'm so glad you're here, it's too late, how can I mind."
