As John's Twitter became more and more followed, a strange phenomenon emerged. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Foster's War" relies on the fame of Ang Lee and Emma Watson, although it is not unpopular, but many people just look at the fame of Ang Lee and Emma, and choose to watch it when they are bored, last week, the cumulative box office income of "Foster's War" was only 7 million US dollars, and among the films released on a small scale, the results are good, but compared with super blockbusters like "Avatar 3", it is not even a fraction.
But all of a sudden, the film became popular.
Ang Lee was resting at home in the United States when a phone call from the head of the producer came.
"Lee, there are now more than 30 theaters asking for the release of 'Foster's War.'"
"Foster's War" was originally scheduled to be released on a small scale in only a few dozen theaters, and many large theaters did not have an arrangement.
Ang Lee is a little strange, the box office of this film will definitely not be too good, but this is not the first time he has received a call from investors.
"Jack, let them show if they're going to show it, and I'm worried that no one wants to show our movie."
Of course, Ang Lee has no opinion on this, but he doesn't know what the reason is.
"Jack, what the hell is going on? This is completely counterintuitive. ”
"Li, thanks to the actor you found this time, we have no problem recovering our costs, and according to the current trend, I believe our profits will be very considerable." Jack's voice on the other end of the phone was very excited, "That Ling Xiaojun is really a miracle guy, I really want to meet him." ”
"Ling Xiaojun?"
"yes, you should look at the crazy fans on the internet. Check it out on YoTuBe, Ling Xiaojun's videos are now at the top of the charts, and check out those comments. ”
Ang Lee hung up the phone later, turned on the computer, and entered YoTuBe.
At the top of the charts, there is a video titled "Dancer Supreme".
Ang Lee opened the video and found that it was Ling Xiaojun, Ang Lee was not very familiar with dance, he looked directly at the comments below.
"Oh my gosh, TaisukeCriticals, and One-HandedChairFlare, did you see? I can't believe it. ”
"Who is this? Oh my God, it's amazing. ”
"This is Ling Xiaojun, it has been confirmed, have you watched the "Avatar 3" he is starring in now? The fight with Worthington in it is a classic. ”
"To be honest, I didn't see enough of him at all, and in just a few minutes, I was completely in love with him."
"Then I suggest you watch 'Foster's War' starring him and Emma Watson, it won't disappoint you, it's the best film I've ever seen."
Ang Lee only now understood, and he quickly turned off the video and opened Foster's own propaganda website. It turned out that the deserted comment area didn't know when it started to be lively.
"I highly recommend this film, I have never seen such an unforgettable film."
"I came to see this film because of Ling Xiaojun, it's great, I was deeply moved by the love between Foster and Alice, when I saw Foster looking at Alice's eyes, my heart was about to melt, I wish I was Alice, what should I do, help me."
"I'm immersed in the movie, I can't calm down for a long time, what is war? What is love? In the face of war, human love seems so small, but it is precisely because of its insignificance that it seems so great. God, I don't know what I'm talking about anymore, I highly recommend everyone to watch this film, and besides, Foster's actor, Ling Xiaojun, is super handsome, and he completely subverted my perception of Asian men. ”
Li An leaned back in his chair and shook his head with a smile, "Ling Xiaojun, sure enough, you are a miracle worker." ”
In the Christmas and New Year's Day files, "Avatar 3" is firmly in the hegemonic position of the box office, which is not suspenseful. But the strange thing is that another feature film "Foster's War" is full of stamina, and after it was released in mid-December, it actually began to break out in the United States movie-watching frenzy, and the word-of-mouth box office was a bumper harvest.
In the blockbuster-filled Shuangdan schedule, a feature film unexpectedly relied on the American film market alone to occupy the fifth place in the box office list.
This simply turned the entire film industry upside down.
"Foster's War" was soon introduced to other countries around the world.
At this time, the potential of this film was completely stimulated, and in just one week, film critics around the world gave high praise.
Abraham, a famous French film critic, spoke very highly of this film, "The subject matter of this film is not new, but the director's narrative ability and the wonderful performances of the actors make up for this regret." This is a movie that is bound to become a classic. ”
In an interview with Emma Watson, the famous British director Danny Ball publicly stated that he was a fan of this film.
The famous American movie website, Rotten Tomatoes, gave this film a super high Rotten Tomatoes index of 9.2 points.
Of course, the craziest thing is the Chinese film industry.
Unlike other countries, the entertainment industry in China pays more attention to the actor of this film, Ling Xiaojun.
"Ling Xiaojun's performance in the movie "Foster's War" is undoubtedly a classic, and it is difficult for me to imagine that a young actor without any acting foundation can interpret Foster deeply into the bone marrow."
"Ling Xiaojun's success in this film completely surpassed his performance in the global hit "Avatar 3", as well as his performance in "Flying Over the Sky", which set off a national ratings frenzy, in this film, Ling Xiaojun's performance can only be described in four words, that is, impeccable."
At present, Ling Xiaojun has not appeared in any interview show, and in the face of the sudden explosion of super popularity, he chose to hide at home and play games.
Ling Xiaojun's mobile phone on the bed suddenly rang, and Ling Xiaojun picked it up and saw that it was Shi Yun.
"Ling Xiaojun, where did you go, I'm about to be killed by you." On the other end of the phone, Shi Yun was going crazy.
"What did I do to you?" Ling Xiaojun couldn't imagine what he had done to be sorry for Shi Yun.
"You haven't hurt me yet, do you know how many calls I get a day right now?" Shi Yun was full of resentment, "It's all looking for you, so I'll call you, you see, there are three more missed calls." ”
Ling Xiaojun was a little puzzled, how did these people find Shi Yun. "If they look for me, why are they harassing you?"
"Haven't I always relied on providing your news to attract fans, now people can't find you, but I'm easy to find, they're all coming to me, I'll see, what director, TV station, and many business owners, I'm going, I'm going crazy."
Ling Xiaojun almost couldn't hold back his laughter, "Big brother, can you rely on me, who let you have nothing to do with me, you can figure it out yourself." ”
After speaking, Ling Xiaojun hung up the phone. He believed that Shi Yun should not betray him, otherwise he would not have called him now.
Ling Xiaojun quit the game and lay down on the bed.
"Hey, the Oscars are about to start voting for the shortlisted films, I hope "Foster's War" can be shortlisted, it may not be necessary to win the award, but at least it must be shortlisted, otherwise my brother's task will not be completed, and my life will not be guaranteed."
