Chapter 213: Extraordinary Human Traffickers
"The movie starring Asian star Feng Feng Xing won $113 million at the box office in one week, becoming the highest-grossing Chinese-language action movie of all time, which is another successful counterattack of Chinese kung fu films since Bruce Lee".
"It's hard to imagine that a foreign film can go on a rampage in North America and make local Hollywood films unable to resist, this is the progress of Chinese films, or the degradation of local films, is a question worth pondering".
"The North American film market in the past week has been like a nightmare, yes, Hollywood, which we are proud of, has been sniped, whether it is "The Barber", which has won numerous awards, or some other small and medium-budget films, the performance is not outstanding, or even dismal. That Chinese madman has been in turmoil, and his "Kung Fu" has set off countless wars in North America, but the performance of local movies is really disappointing, we don't have to ask, what's wrong with Hollywood? ”
"The hit of "Kung Fu" makes us feel like going back to 30 years ago, the former Bruce Lee also set off an indescribable shock in the United States through a kung fu movie, 30 years later, he is back, although he changed his name, wind and rain, but the result is no different, Chinese kung fu is coming, are we ready?"
"When Kung Fu first landed in North America, I, like many people, thought it was another poor clown performing a farce, but when the box office data for Kung Fu was announced, I felt the need to put away my previous arrogance, Feng Feng Xing is a good young man, but also an outstanding actor, yes, I have reason to believe that he is another Bruce Lee, maybe. He's better than Bruce Lee once was."
As soon as the box office of "Kung Fu" came out in the second week, many media outlets and some entertainment companies that were not optimistic about the film closed their mouths, facts speak louder than words, and they really can't find any reason to take it lightly. With a box office of more than $100 million a week, not any movie can have. Even if everyone was optimistic about it before, the Hollywood blockbuster "The Matrix" only grossed $78 million in the first week, and in some ways, "Kung Fu" has more potential than "The Matrix".
The major entertainment media have used extremely exaggerated language to report on this movie in an all-round way, and they almost didn't hold the movie to the sky, and the starring role of the movie is stormy. It is the object of focus. Although the storm does not appear very often in the American press, it always causes a lot of topics each time, which makes some media reporters who have a good impression of him very excited, and all kinds of praise are used on him.
The popularity of the movie and the pursuit of entertainment media have made Fengfeng Xing's popularity in the United States rise steadily, adding countless fanatical fans and fans to him, and his status is not bad compared with Hollywood A-list stars. It initially has box office appeal.
Of course, the film was a big hit. Not only did Feng Feng Xing reap a lot of benefits, but many Chinese martial arts halls also benefited, and Feng Feng Xing's fierce and bloody fights in the movie fascinated countless American teenagers. For a time, the whole United States attracted a new wave of learning Chinese kung fu. Chinese martial arts halls all over the country have poured in a large number of apprentices in a short period of time, so that the Chinese martial artists who opened martial arts halls are full of praise for the wind and rain, and they are under the peach and the plum. Call on the apprentices and the people they know around them to watch the movie "Kung Fu". Many people even directly sent out invitations, inviting Feng Feng Xing to go to the martial arts hall to guide Yunyun on the spot, which made Feng Feng Xing cry and laugh, he was too busy with his own affairs, how could he have time to teach people kung fu.
When the news of the movie's big sale came back to China, it was like a 12-magnitude earthquake, and both media reporters and domestic film and television stars were dumbfounded.
The first starring movie can break 100 million dollars at the box office in a single week, should you be so demonic? When many celebrities are still thinking about how to release their movies in North America, the wind and rain have reached another height, and they have successfully established themselves in Hollywood.
The media and newspapers are like beating chicken blood, and all kinds of praise words, as if they don't want money, can't stop popping out, and they are boasting vigorously.
Beijing-Beijing Entertainment News wrote, "Recently, "Kung Fu", starring a well-known domestic movie star, has achieved 1 in North America. The weekly box office result of 1.3 billion US dollars has set a new weekly box office record for domestic films, and it is also a victory for Chinese films. Hollywood movies have always been the nightmare of our domestic films, it is not an exaggeration to say that the twenty Hollywood blockbusters introduced every year will always sweep most of the box office and go away, and domestic films can only share a little bit of leftovers left behind, and the situation of Chinese films in North America is not satisfactory. Now the movie starring Feng Feng Xing can bring the war to North America, which has caused great repercussions in the local area, and is an encouragement to other domestic films. At least let us know that Hollywood blockbusters are not invincible, as long as you work hard, anything is possible, and the time for Chinese films to enter Hollywood on a large scale is not far off"
However, the impact of "Kung Fu" is far from over, stimulated by the film Wind and Rain, many domestic film and television companies have seen the benefits generated by kung fu movies and began to adjust. Film and television dramas based on Chinese kung fu have increased investment, and some kung fu films that had been shelved before were put back on the schedule.
These ups and downs are not clear, it has been half a month since he came to the United States, the promotion of the movie has come to an end, everything that can be done has been done, the film can go more than depends on its own quality, his task has been completed, and it is impossible to continue to spend here.
At eight o'clock in the evening, in Peter's suite, the wind and rain were blowing, Zhou Xingxing sat quietly on the sofa, and Peter, who was holding a glass of red wine in his hand, stood opposite, and said to Fengyu Xing with a breathless expression, "Mr. Feng, have you really decided to go back to China?" You can play in the U.S. and then go."
Feng Fengxing smiled faintly, "Peter, we have an ancient saying in China, called "the feast that is not dispersed in the world", I have been in the United States for a long time, and I should go back, there are other things waiting for me to do, Director Zhou is more free, you can stay and continue to promote", the latter sentence is said to Zhou Xingxing.
Zhou Xingxing next to him was noncommittal and did not speak.
"Well, Mr. Feng, I wish you a nice trip, we're friends, right?" Peter looked into the stormy eyes and said seriously.
"Of course," said Stormwalk, smiling softly, and stood up to give Peter a friendly hug.
"Oh, I forgot something important," Peter patted his head, took out two checks from his jacket pocket, and handed them to Zhou Xingxing, who was on the other side of the storm.
Wind and rain line in the hand to see, $3 million cash check, this is? Inquiring eyes looked at Peter.
Peter took a sip of wine and explained with a smile to Feng Fengxing and Zhou Xingxing, "Because this movie is even better than expected, and the company has made a lot of money, so the company will give you two a special reward."
Even if it was a reward, Feng Fengyu Xing didn't say anything, put away the check, and smiled at Zhou Xingxing beside him, "Director Zhou, I'll go first".
'Well, I'll have to wait a little longer', Zhou Xingxing smiled lightly.
After saying goodbye to the two of them, Fengyuxing took Hou Zheng to the street, bought some local American specialties and trinkets for Liu Yifei and Li Tong, and then returned to the room to pack up things. The tickets are all ready, and you can leave Los Angeles tonight and fly back to Beijing.
The wind and rain were walking in the bedroom, directing Hou Zheng and Lin Feng to pack clothes and other items and take them away, but at this moment, there was a knock on the door.
opened the door, and a figure that surprised the wind and rain appeared, only to see the big man Blue wearing an exaggerated suit, blocking the door, and there were two black-clothed men suspected of being bodyguards behind him, following him.
There is some accident in the wind and rain, what is this guy here for? Are you not convinced and want to come to find trouble? Holding his chest chair on the door frame with both hands, he looked at Blue and said lightly, "I'm very busy now, if Mr. Blue is interested, you can come to China to find me and teach at any time".
'No, no, no, I'm not here to fight', Blue shook his two pincer-like arms violently, and quickly denied it, and then scratched his head a little embarrassed, looked at the wind and rain with a slightly shy gaze, and said "I, I'm here to apprentice, I want to ask you to teach me kung fu."
Blue's shy gaze made Feng Fengxing stunned, and he almost didn't spit it out, who could imagine what a man with an extremely exaggerated figure would look like when he twisted his face, and now he saw it, it was terrifying.
Feng Fengxing calmed his emotions and said seriously, "First of all, I don't have the idea of teaching kung fu, not to mention that you are a foreigner, this is even more impossible, please go back."
"I will definitely study hard, please give me a chance", Blue said hurriedly when he heard that the wind and rain refused.
Feng Fengxing shook his head, this matter is not negotiable.
"I won't give up", Bru saw that the wind and rain were resolute, and finally left with the two men in black.
Feng Fengxing closed the door, sat on the sofa and drank the brewed tea, Blue's matter passed through his mind, did not stay for half a second, and was forgotten by him, now he just wants to go home early, he hasn't seen the two daughters for half a month, and he misses it very much.
It's just that soon his wish was shattered.
"Mr. Feng, just now the Screen Actors Guild called, French director Luc, through their union sent you an invitation, I hope you will go tomorrow to participate, the audition for the movie "Death Express", you see?" Hou Zheng took his mobile phone and walked over and asked.
Feng Fengyu Xing put down the teacup in his hand, his face was straight, his sharp eyes stared at Hou Zheng's eyes, and said, "Are you sure?" ”
"Yes, Mr. Wind", Hou Zhengrang (to be continued......)
