Section 203 Desert Barbecue!
In the third week, "Thai Embarrassment" got a box office of 268 million, and the number of moviegoers was 780w.
In the fourth week of its release, the box office blowout speed of "Thai Embarrassment" gradually eased down, getting 206 million and 640w viewers.
This big box office dark horse is a little weak, the box office potential has been almost tapped, and next, it is expected to get some more every week, but there is no problem at all to break 1 billion.
The mainland release is still over.
Through the efforts of Starlight Film Company, "Thai Embarrassment" will be officially released in Thailand on January 2, as for why it was released first in Thailand, even Chen Dong felt strange.
So, Chen Dong called Li Rixin, and Li Rixin said to Chen Dong that before he could look for it, a Thai film distribution company came to the door and asked Starlight Film Company for the Thai distribution rights of "Thai Embarrassment".
This is not difficult to understand, because most of the plot and background in "Thai Embarrassment" were filmed in Thailand, and the film contains some things such as Thai culture, religion, customs, and scenery, and some of the secondary supporting roles in the film are Thai actors.
is not like some movies, introduced to another country, first of all, you have to face a problem of 'adapting to the soil and water', if you can sell well in one country, you may not be able to do it in another country.
Secondly, "Thai Embarrassment" is positive about Thailand, which is very beneficial to the promotion of Thailand's image, through the movie "Thai Embarrassment", you can understand the customs of Thailand, as well as the calm and peaceful teachings of Thai Buddhism. Most Thai people believe in Buddhism, and the Thai people have inherited this character from Buddhism and are very calm. Very detailed. There is also a Songkran Festival for 10,000 people in Thailand,......, in addition, it has a great role in promoting Thailand's tourism industry.
Since the release of the movie "Thai Embarrassment", the Thai tour group has quickly become popular, and the movie was released in December. Tens of thousands of domestic tourists have signed up for group tours and independent trips in Thailand, a threefold increase compared with the same period in 2011.
The camera to Chiang Mai was very nervous after the movie was released. It is even more difficult to find a room in a local five-star hotel in Chiang Mai, and some travel agencies are trying to get a relationship with "Thai Embarrassment", and some travel agencies have also won the resources of Le Méridien Chiang Mai, the filming location, to arrange a two-night stay. at the film festival. Episodes such as the release of Kong Ming lanterns, tuk-tuk, and elephant shows are also arranged in the tour itinerary.
Seeing this, Chen Dong looked up the film distribution company that distributed "Thai Embarrassment" in Thailand on the Internet, and sure enough, this film distribution company has some national background.
On January 7, "Thai Embarrassment" was released in South Korea, and in late January, it was released in Singapore. It was released at the same time in Malaysia, in February. ...... released in several major cities in the United States -
After finishing the movie, Chen Dong returned to a leisurely state.
Sometimes I pay attention to the filming of "A Bite of China", with the "Tip of the Tongue" program planning book provided by Chen Dong, as well as some ideas from the original time and space, and then the assistant director Shen Jiaxing will grasp the general, as well as 2 food master consultants, to provide some guidance and suggestions on food.
Each of the seven episode directors is responsible for a theme, with 2 cinematographers and some behind-the-scenes staff, everything is well organized and the shooting went very smoothly.
Chen Dong doesn't need to worry too much, the filming progress is very fast, and by now, half of the progress has been completed.
Putting down "A Bite of China", Chen Dong took a plane to the Tengger Desert in the Zhongwei area of Qingning Province.
Poplar Lin drove Chen Dong to the 'tree planting base'.
Several rows of neat brick houses were built on the 'base' to serve as the company's offices, dormitories and canteens for employees to rest.
In the evening, Hu Yanglin and all the employees of the company arranged a barbecue banquet with desert characteristics for Chen Dong's arrival.
Roast rabbits, roast scorpions, roast wild goats,......。
The whole goat meat is roasted on the grill until it makes a 'sizzling' sound, and it is fragrant with spices, salt, and seasonings.
The chef cut off the best lean meat on the side of the goat's thigh, put it on a plate, and handed it to Chen Dong.
"Thank you!" Chen Dong took the goat meat and thanked him.
I cut a small piece with a knife and put it in my mouth, it was fragrant, the meat was very tender, and it tasted very good.
Chen Dong gave a thumbs up and said, "It tastes very good." ”
"This kind of goat is called living on the cliff, the best at jumping and running, the muscles are very developed, the meat quality is the best, coupled with Lao Lie's barbecue technology and the spices provided by Lao Lie, the taste is definitely a must." Hu Yanglin smiled and said to Chen Dong.
"Look at you, after a few months here, you've become a standard foodie." Chen Dong said.
"Although the desert lacks everything, water and food, for people who are good at surviving in the desert and hunting, the desert has a variety of rich and delicious ingredients, such as the most abundant hares, wild goats, gerbils, sand foxes and so on." Hu Yanglin tore off a piece of otter rabbit meat with his hand, put it in his mouth and chewed it, and said to Chen Dong.
"It seems that you enjoy life in the desert."
"At first, I was a little unaccustomed, but gradually I got used to it, and I began to like life here, without the hustle and bustle of the city, it was very quiet, I was used to getting up at 5 o'clock every day, I was used to watching the sunset in the desert, I was used to getting together in the evening, setting up a bonfire, roasting the prey hunted in the desert during the day, singing songs, chatting about some interesting stories, this kind of life is a kind of prosperity for me." Hu Yanglin smiled and said.
Chen Dong picked up the kettle and took a sip of water, and said to Hu Yanglin, "Talk about work, is everything going well?" ”
Poplar Lin said, "Well, it's quite smooth, except for two seedlings of the mother tree that were trampled off by wild goats passing by to drink water just a few days after planting, the other 93 mother trees are all alive, in good condition, and the branches are luxuriant." At this point, he paused, and then continued, "This plant seems to be naturally adapted to the desert environment, with a large root system, a deep taproot system, which can effectively absorb underground water sources, and some lateral roots extend to the ground and multiply and grow like bamboo."
The branches and leaves are rolled up during the day and are as thin as pine needles, and at night, they stretch out and are the size of a palm, effectively absorbing the water vapor free in the air.
I didn't know what kind of plant it was, I looked up some information on my computer, but I couldn't find any information about this plant, and I asked Attila, who had lived in the desert environment since childhood, and even he had seen this plant, and called it a 'miracle', a gift from Tengri to the desert dwellers. Hu Yanglin said. (To be continued......)
