The owner of the bar was powerless to prevent "The Matrix" from being massively Amway by the bar friends, and said that after a few days of heat, it would naturally recover.

But the situation is the opposite, after a few days of spontaneous water army swiping screens, "The Matrix" has held premieres in many countries one after another, and the reviews that have been transmitted back to China are all god-level praise.

For example, on the French film rating website Alloine, "The Matrix" was evaluated by more than 20 film critics, and none of them gave a bad review, including one film critic, who even crowned the film "the greatest science fiction film of the 21st century".

These news were transmitted back to China, which made the netizens of Amway's "The Matrix" more excited, and the publicity was more powerful.

"The momentum is ...... reminds me of the spontaneous promotion of tap water before the release of "Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage" in my previous life. Only this time, the tap water of "The Matrix" has a larger scale of publicity. ”

Zhang Tan has now returned to China, waiting for the Chinese premiere on the 13th, and has paid much attention to the promotional form of "The Matrix".

The feedback made him feel very relaxed.

"Husband, everyone is full of confidence that "The Matrix" will win the Chinese box office." Susa has just recently signed a contract with the Beiqi Film Academy and will be a lecturer in Nortel's acting department from next semester, teaching modern acting theory.

She is now actively preparing for classes and even has the idea of writing a book on performance theory.

Zhang Tan is very supportive of her idea.

"Box office champions...... This seems a bit difficult. Zhang Tan is full of confidence in the reputation and box office of "The Matrix", but whether it can hit the box office champion or not, in many cases, does not depend on the quality of the movie.

So far in 2013, the box office champion in Chinese film history is still the director's latest 3D masterpiece "Blue Star Man" of "Titanic" that year, with 1.36 billion yuan. followed by 1.267 billion yuan for "People Are Embarrassed in Thailand" produced and written by Zhang Tan and directed by Chen Li.

followed by "Transform into Autobots 3", which received 1.081 billion yuan in 2011, ranking third in film history.

At present, in Chinese film history, only these three films have broken 1 billion yuan.

This was followed by a 3D remake of Titanic. was released last year and got 948 million yuan, and many old films have begun to engage in 3D remakes, of course. There are only one or two successful ones, and most of the others hit the streets.

Feelings are not something you can have if you want to have them.

Then came last year's mainland and Xiangxiang co-production "Twelve Phases", directed and acted by Xiangxiang action superstar Fang Shilong, and got 881 million yuan.

A movie with a box office of more than 800 million. That's all.

As of mid-June this year, the annual box office leader in the mainland is Marvel Comics' superhero movie "Iron Man 3", which received 768 million yuan.

Su Sa checked the box office number of film history, and said very arrogantly: "It's not very difficult, "Blue Star Man" is the highest, only 1.36 billion yuan, which was maintained in 2010, and most of it is the box office contributed by 3D screens. Your "Matrix" is also going to be logged on to the 3D screen, and now the reputation is so good, it's very promising. ”

"Who knows. I hope it would be nice to surpass the 768 million yuan of "Iron Man 3", but listening to you say this, I feel that 1 billion seems to be not difficult. ”

In my memory, "The Matrix" was released in 1999, and it was only released in China in 2000, and the box office was so-so. Then the two sequels, both released in 2003, ranked third and fourth at the box office that year, and it can be said that the table is still good.

And now "The Matrix" has embarked on the road of 3D, technology, special effects, including the plot. has improved compared to the previous life, and the freshness of the subject matter is still maintained, even if it is not directed by Zhang Tan, there is no investment from Chinese companies. There are no Chinese actors, at least they can be compared with "Inception" back then.

Both are shocking-level sci-fi blockbusters, both of which are masterpieces with high reputation and a bit of brain-draining.

"Inception" did not go to the 3D format in 2010, but still got 460 million yuan, and "The Matrix" in 2013 this year, at least 7, 800 million heights.

And then. Now, the producer is Luying, the distributor includes Huayi Brothers, the director has become Zhang Tan, who has the most appeal in China, and there are several Chinese actors in the supporting roles.

It can be said that it is half a domestic film, and this home field advantage is almost comparable to no Hollywood blockbuster.

So, having figured this out, Zhang Tan raised his eyebrows angrily: "It's not impossible to be a champion in film history." ”

……

Whether "The Matrix" can hit the champion in film history, the mystery has begun to be revealed.

In the midst of much anticipation, "The Matrix" held a grand premiere on June 13, 2013 at the CBD Theater of Huayi Brothers.

The premiere rightfully ended with thunderous applause.

After that, it was the zero point field that started at 55 p.m. on the 13th.

Huayi Brothers has a strong distribution ability in China, and in addition, whether it is publicity or popularity, "The Matrix" is enough to kill any movie in seconds, so this zero-point show, a total of 5,500 shows were arranged across the country, with about 320,000 seats. The zero point field only broadcasts IMAX-3D, IMAX, China Giant Screen, and 3D formats.

When midnight fell, the media shuttled at the entrance of movie theaters in major cities, and they witnessed the most lively midnight scene in the history of Chinese film.

Almost from the moment it was not yet dark, there were audiences who came to the cinema to wait in line for tickets.

Previously, the distributor cooperated with many e-commerce companies and put some movie tickets for online shopping, but they were sold out in a few days, and there are still a large number of fans who did not grab tickets, so they could only come to the cinema in advance to grab tickets.

The number of tickets is limited, because the key in 2D format has not yet been delivered to the cinema, and the movie can only be played in IMAX, Chinese giant screen, and 3D theaters, and there is no way to add a hall.

"What should I do, there are so many people queuing, we can't grab tickets tonight!"

"No, why are there so many people?"

"It's too exaggerated, why are you all crowded together to grab tickets for the zero point field, you can die a day later."

"Then why don't you come a day late."

"I'm sorry, the zero o'clock show of "The Matrix" is sold out, you can change your tickets for tomorrow."

"Can you add a hall, I finally came here at night."

"No way, we only have two 3D halls, and the 2D movie key hasn't been sent yet, so we can't add a hall."

"Damn, I'm here for nothing?"

"Damn, I'm so angry, after waiting for half an hour, you're going to sue me for no ticket?"

"We can't help it, please understand."

In all major theaters, almost all of them staged such conversations, which were as noisy as vegetable markets.

A total of 320,000 seats have been opened for 5,500 performances across the country, but it is still not enough to satisfy the audience who will enter tonight. Many viewers who couldn't grab tickets were still reluctant to leave after the movie opened.

"Didn't you grab a ticket either?" The reporter walked over and asked a young couple who seemed to be arguing.

The girl had anger on her face: "It's not him, he said that he was not satisfied with the midnight show, he had to wait if he came early, just step on the point, but there was no ticket at all!" ”

The boy also said aggrievedly to the camera: "I've watched the midnight show several times, the midnight show of "Transforming into Autobots 3" and "Iron Man 3" is so good, I can't sit down, how do I know that it has changed today." ”

"Whatever excuse you make, it's all your fault, if it weren't for you, would you have no seats tonight! Rubbish! The more the girl talked, the more angry she became, so she simply turned around and left.

The boy hurriedly caught up: "Hey, Xiaoli, don't be angry, we'll come back tomorrow, it's okay a day later." (To be continued.) )

ps: Finally kicked out!
