At the end of last year, a series of verbal battles heated up the entire car movie market. Although many months have passed, viewers who have watched the news have clearly not forgotten it. You must know that Chen Tiandu can speak wildly, claiming that if "Fast and Thrilling" fails, he will wash his hands and quit the rivers and lakes from now on.

Even if it's just to see if he quits the rivers and lakes, you have to continue to pay attention to the final finale of this verbal battle, isn't it?!

On April 22, the three most watched racing movies, directed by the famous director Renny Haring, starring veteran action star Sylvester Stallone and veteran actor Bert Reynolds, as well as rookie Kip Pardew, and the car god Michael Schumacher made a cameo, telling the story of the racing driver who pursues extreme speed.

In order to get on the market before several other racing movies, Rennie Haring brought "Life and Death" forward. But at that time, Stallone was Chen Tiandu, and Rainey Haring's soft egg was too obvious to avoid competitors, which made Stallone very dissatisfied.

So this time, he simply didn't even attend the movie premiere.

Although April 27 is not a holiday, there are no blockbusters to seize the market during the same period, and the most important thing is that it really can't be delayed any longer. Because next week will be the release of "The Mummy 2" in the United States, and the next week will be the hot "Fast and Thrilling" that has been hyped. The summer schedule is naturally enviable, because the fan base will suddenly surge several times. But that is obviously not suitable for "Life and Death", and avoiding it can be regarded as Rainey Haring's courage. Besides, this car movie has been hyped for so long, and fans' expectations have been raised to an extremely high level. The release of a racing movie that has not been seen for a long time has naturally become and thirsty. Spending power is stronger.

They chose to release it at this time, which is not necessarily bad.

The film was released by Warner. Naturally, the various propaganda channels are very mature, and the propaganda preparations are extremely sufficient. When the propaganda begins. Countless advertisements are overwhelming. The whole society, whether it is the Internet or reality, is full of advertisements for "Life and Death".

The extremely passionate track F1 high-speed car, the friendship and love of life, this is the theme of the promotion of this film.

On April 27, the racing movie was finally released. It's Friday, it's the weekend, and countless fans with fiery passions flock to the cinema to feel the madness and excitement of racing.

After all, after all this hype, it's time to test the quality.

At the beginning of the movie. It unfolds on the background of the F1 racetrack, and the two lines of subtitles explain the background, "900 million viewers! ”

"250 mph!"

"20 stages, 1 championship!"

The opening of the film is not surprising, it is completely the story of an F1 driver, a young and handsome young protagonist, who wins the championship at the beginning, and then the problem of adding little experience to the novice in the stage appears, and the story begins to unfold. A qiē as expected. Fame, flash, and beauties followed. When the game is lost, kick your girlfriend away. Angry...... After that, I slowly reflected on it, and I wanted to find my girlfriend and love again......

"Okay!"

That's too harsh to say. In fact, the scenes about the F1 cars in the movie are still very exciting. It's just that the person who sits on the F1 car and performs a difficult and rapid run may be a stand-in, or a professional driver. But definitely not an actor. Because I didn't wear a helmet, the F1 car was speeding at high speed. You can't see the actor's face at all.

It's much more realistic than the real F1 racing video, because the camera is closer, from the F1 car sensing to the close-up shot of the car being knocked off the track, and the powerful engine sound vibrates the entire screening room, which still sounds very exciting.

"So far so good, the racing scene is very carnival, and the heroine is very beautiful!"

"This voice is amazing!!"

Unfortunately, there are drawbacks, because the editing is too fast, and the audience still can't see where the race has progressed and what the standings are, just like a real F1 car, when you run N laps, you can't tell where the first place is.

As the plot unfolds, it develops from a professional track to a street track race. Filmed between cities around the world, famous tracks and city characteristics such as Long Island in the United States, Hawaii, Japan, and Rio de Janeiro in Brazil were displayed one by one, allowing the audience to travel together, and the audience began to be attracted.

Joe (played by Stallone) used to be a good race car driver, but an accident in a race car nearly killed him and another racer, and he retired as a result. For years, Joe had tried to forget that mistake, but pain and trauma had tormented him. When retired racer Carl (Bart Ronald), who is in a wheelchair for the rest of his life due to a racing injury, invites him out on the mountain, Joe happily decides to return to the racetrack.

But Joe's chance is to help Jamie (played by Jepado), a young racer who has lost consecutive games and has no intention of fighting, win the Formula World Series......

There are no previously predicted action scenes and hot shots, and the whole movie is still inspirational. Find love, for the dream, return to the game, win the championship, champagne is all over the sky, and beautiful women kiss ......

Today's audience is no stranger to F1 events, the speed is so exciting. The story in the film is pretty good. Especially in the street stage of drag racing, the audience instantly felt high and comfortable.

It shows a dangerous yet exhilarating world of motorsports and the successes, failures, regrets, and pursuit of extreme speed of the competitors on four circuits, as well as the rewards of their hard work and the glory of their careers.

When the audience came out of the cinema, they were quite satisfied, but they were not particularly excited.

With the release of the movie, some film reviews have gradually come out, with a rating of 7.0 on IMDB, which is not too bad. Because this is an inspirational movie, it's just about F1 cars. Schumacher's friendship starred in a flash. Wearing an F1 helmet, only a pair of eyes were exposed, and the audience did not feel how awesome he was.

But compared with "In the City and Outside the City" and "The Aftermath of the Catastrophe" released at the same time, it is the best movie. Entering the weekend time, countless fans flocked to the cinema, and after coming out, there was constant praise. It's exciting, it's refreshing, and the story is pretty good...... That's what all fans are saying.

The box office numbers for the weekend were announced soon.

The overall North American box office performance for the week was poor, with revenue down 20% compared to the same period last year. However, this year's overall box office performance in North America is 14% higher than last year's, and as the summer hot season approaches, this year's Hollywood "signature dishes" such as "The Mummy 2", "Fast and Thrilling", "Pearl Harbor", and "A.I" are gradually revealed, and the fan market is gradually heating up.

"Life and Death" seized the previous wave of this craze, earning $18 million over the weekend, although the absolute income is not high, it still topped the list without suspense, and also made Stallone, who has seen "falling out of favor" in recent years, regain his strength. The film's director, Renny Haring, directed Stallone's successful film "Heroes" in 1993.

The other three new films were not very profitable, "In the City" and "Outside the City" and "McCool Night" despite their star-studded appearance, but the audience didn't buy it at all, and the distributor of "McCool Night" had to blame the film's unpopular black comedy style.

Chen Tiandu was also slightly surprised when he saw this box office number, which was nearly $6 million more than the box office in the future time and space, which is probably his harvest of heating up the racing market. Moreover, this movie is universal, it should be quite popular in overseas markets, it is impossible to make profits in North America alone, and if the overseas market is strong, it may be able to make a profit.

This result seemed to Sylvester Stallone to be a little disappointing, but Renny Haring was already smiling and thanking Christmas Chan in his heart, which was the market he had stirred up. As for whether it will have an impact on Chen Tiandu's "Fast and Intense", the answer is - go to death!

Although the top of the list of 18 million is a bit shabby, that is also the top of the list. With the help of the prestige of the top of the list, the spokesperson of "Life and Death Speed" immediately declared, ""Life and Death Speed" is very good overseas, and it will be released in more than a dozen countries and regions one after another. ”

When the world saw the results of "Life and Death", the little heart was also pounding, and it seemed that the summer release could make a lot of money.

"Life and Death" is so arrogant, and this week is even more dominant, which also makes many fans of "Fast and Furious" worried, because the reputation of this racing movie does not seem to be bad. There is also a gradual discussion on the official website of the matrix, "What if "Speed" is worse than "Life and Death"? ”

This question is also what the media wants to ask Chen Tiandu the most.

There were too many invitations, so he had no choice but to reply and write a sentence on his blog, "There are too many media who invited me to respond, so I went to the cinema to watch the movie. ”

The last four words he used in Chinese hatefully made countless reporters who followed his blog almost crazy, "What does this mean?" When the Chinese reporters saw this comment, they all laughed heartily, "Tiandu is starting to be naughty again, this is to make up the rhythm of Chinese for Hollywood reporters." "I asked China Tong, and finally figured out what this sentence meant, that is, I am very disdainful! Literally, translated into English, is "just-so-so!" ”

Matrix spokesman Peck also announced the overseas release one after another, "On May 9, "Fast and Thrilling" will be released simultaneously in 28 overseas countries and regions, covering Europe, Asia, the United States, and Africa. There are also 29 countries and regions that will be released in the next two to three months, including the United States, and the global release scale of the film has reached 58 countries and regions! ”

As soon as the news came out, "Life and Death Speed" immediately felt hot on his face. As the publisher of "Life and Death", Warner, is also surprised that the matrix's overseas expansion ability is so strong, I am afraid that I will not be able to continue to treat them as younger brothers in the future.

Well, wave after wave, he is really a topic maker.

Such a confrontation and never give up, at least the media will have a much better impression of him than he was low-key in the previous two years. It's also very simple, reporters and celebrities are the storage of cows and lice, if there is no news, how can you let reporters live. (To be continued......)
