Chapter 192: The Tragic Hacker
On Tuesday and Monday, the 26th box office has been counted and has come out.
The box office of "Kung Fu" in China is 14 million, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Southeast Asia are 11 million, adding up to a total of 25 million box office, compared with the 39 million box office on Sunday on the 24th, more than 10 million less, this data is within the normal range, after all, with the growth of the screening time, it is inevitable that the box office will decrease day by day, and the high box office of 25 million can still be maintained on Monday, indicating that the potential of "Kung Fu" is huge, and the data that is still strong speaks for itself.
As the opponent of "Kung Fu", the performance of "The Matrix 3 - Short Revolution" is speechless, with a domestic box office of only 2.7 million, less than one-fifth of "Kung Fu", which is a big surprise to people in the entertainment industry.
They have guessed a lot of results before, the statement that hackers beat kung fu is very marketable under the promotion of some bricks, saying that the two movies are opponents and have equal strength, even if the hackers are not defeated by kung fu, the decent box office data is acceptable, but the box office of the song is 2.7 million on the first day, what kind of trouble is this?
When did foreign blockbusters become so weak? Or is the Chinese-language movie "Kung Fu" too strong? So that the strength of hackers can't be released?
At this time, the business manager of China Film told the media that "the movie "The Matrix" introduced by the company is not as bad as everyone thinks, the reason why there is only 2.7 million box office, is because it is released simultaneously with the world for the first time, Chinese copies are seriously insufficient, this situation will soon change, before eight o'clock this evening, all Chinese copies will be sent to major theaters, everyone must have confidence in hackers, we have reason to believe that hackers can soon beat Kung Fu."
Whether the media really believes that hackers can beat Kung Fu, at least the bizarre data of "The Matrix" has been explained on the first day, and as for what will happen next, we will know then.
Just when many people thought that "The Matrix" would be able to compete with "Kung Fu" with sufficient copies, as soon as Tuesday's box office data came out, many bricks and beasts who advocated for hackers immediately closed their mouths, because the box office of "The Matrix" was only 5 million, and the box office of "Kung Fu" in China was 12.8 million, a difference of more than 7 million, and the gap was not a little bit.
After that, the movie "The Matrix" has been left behind by "Kung Fu" and can only eat ashes.
On Wednesday, there were 3.3 million hackers and 11.5 million kung fu.
On Thursday, there were 2.8 million hackers and 10.9 million kung fu.
Friday.......
……。
A week after the hacker was released in China, the final box office was only 18 million, which can be said to be miserable.
At this time, the total box office in Asia in the second week of "Kung Fu" was 130 million, plus the box office of 100 million in the first week, and it has achieved a box office of 240 million in ten days of release, only 10 million less than Zhang Yimou's "Hero" last year.
The once fierce hacker, under the repeated blows of kung fu, has long stripped off his gorgeous disguise and become no longer dazzling, such an impressive record, the media in the entertainment industry, there is no reason not to report it.
"Foreign Hackers Defeat Chinese Kung Fu", from the movie "The Matrix - Short Revolution" into China, and the Chinese movie "Kung Fu"-for-tat, until it was perfectly crushed, in this process, "Kung Fu" showed us a classic sniper battle, the famous "Matrix", when encountering Chinese Kung Fu, was mercilessly strangled. It turns out that Hollywood blockbusters are not invincible, they also have weaknesses and will be defeated ---- Entertainment Weekly
"Kung Fu Glory, Counterattack From Now On", before that, Hollywood blockbusters have always been a thorn in the Chinese films, stuck in the throat and ready to vomit and then fast, every year in the film market, you can always see foreign blockbusters, and continue to squeeze the living space of domestic films, so that Chinese films can't raise their heads. Now that "Kung Fu" was born, it has rewritten the pattern of the domestic film market and lit a bright light for us, letting us know that foreign movies are no longer so terrible, and the era of Hollywood blockbusters in China will be gone forever----
A well-known film critic commented in the newspaper:
"Recently, I have heard a lot of arguments about the plots of the two movies, and I will share my views here, first of all, too many plots may be annoying, but the plot of a movie, if it is not worth mentioning at all, then the value of this movie is not much.
It's not difficult to make a movie for a lifetime, but it's difficult to make a movie for a lifetime, and in "The Matrix 3", we can see the flavor of "Star Wars", the director learned from Uncle Lucas in the case of lack of creativity, and in a flesh-and-blood, sound and colorful movie, he sold his own so-called philosophical theories, so that the audience was confused, and in the 135-minute movie, no line became a classic, which fully proved that it was a failed work.
Even if the beautiful picture can't hide the fact that the plot is pale and weak, it's shameful to rely on just some dialogues to fill up the numbers, if the boring dialogue in "The Matrix 3" is cut in half, the film may be much better, I think the director of the movie should maintain enough respect for the fans, and don't throw the audience's precious time in tongue-twisting dialogue, which is a wasteful behavior.
Let's take a look at "Kung Fu", I must admit that Zhou Xingxing is right, unlike his previous movies, this is not a comedy, it is completely a tragedy, we can see that coolies are strong, ghosts and others are kung fu, but they are willing to do the work of a coolie and a hawker, and the two major killers invited by Brother Chen, one is deaf and the other is mute and disabled. In the "tragic" plots, I have been immersed in deep thinking, why is "Kung Fu" called Kung Fu? It wasn't until the end, when the sinister and cunning Brother Chen fell at the feet of Zhou Xingxing, that I understood what a peerless master was, and according to the hints given to me by the movie, I summed up some of the laws of masters.
Real people do not show their faces, they are not real people so-called hidden in the city, the real masters are very low-key, they are generally ordinary people with ordinary appearances, not showing the mountains and water, doing humble livelihoods, only in times of danger to show their skills, save the people from fire and water. On the contrary, it seems that the fierce and arrogant are actually paper tigers, the crocodile gang boss is angry enough, the police station dares to smash it, but it was destroyed in a blink of an eye, and the axe gang is extremely vicious with many people, but all the people are leveled in an instant, who would have thought that an ordinary barber has a unique skill?
There are people outside the world, there is a sky outside the sky, a mountain is higher than a mountain, "Kung Fu" is deducing this law from beginning to end, I can only say that Zhou Xingxing knows better than Zhang Yimou what is the Chinese martial arts tradition and what is the master in the minds of the Chinese. In fact, these things were not discovered by Zhou Xingxing first, Jin Yong and Liang Yusheng's martial arts novels have long existed, and Stephen Chow just reinterpreted them in a "postmodern" exaggerated way. Zhou Xingxing has the ability to make you laugh until you cry, and at the same time there is a little touch and a little pain in your heart, which other directors can't do.
In general, it is not without reason that "Kung Fu" can beat "The Matrix" at the box office, at least Zhou Xingxing is more sincere than Andy Wachowski and understands what the Chinese people want. ”
Some film critics' comments, although biased in some places, can be justified and convincing, while many fans do not have so many scruples, just as the so-called wall fell down and everyone pushed it, the failure of "The Matrix" made its status in the hearts of the audience fall to the bottom, and there is no longer any place to speak, seize the opportunity to squirt, and devalue hackers to worthless, and even, the brick family beast who was still advocating for hackers before also changed his position and stepped on "The Matrix" hard, as if this could save face and draw a line with hackers.
Unlike China, "The Matrix 3 - Short Moment Revolution" topped the box office list in the first week of its release in North America, and "Matrix Revolution" grossed $88 million in the first week in North America, which did not set a record for the first week of the box office in North America in history, and was not even as good as the second "Reloaded", which had a box office of $92 million in the first week of North America, ranking second in history. At the top of the list is last year's "Spider-Man," which grossed $115 million in its first week in North America and grossed $240 million in its first week worldwide, making it the highest-grossing film of all time.
"Short Revolution" was released simultaneously in more than 18,000 cinemas in more than 100 countries around the world on the 25th of this month. Its first-week global box office performance has surpassed the original number one "The Lord of the Rings" second installment, "The Two Towers", which was released in December 2002 and grossed $188 million worldwide in its first week.
In addition to the wonderful performances in the film, the three of them also worked tirelessly, traveling back and forth between North America and Europe, building momentum for the film's premiere in various places, setting off a global hacking frenzy, which ensured the global box office results of "The Matrix".
However, it is such a Hollywood blockbuster that has always appeared in a sweeping posture in other countries and regions, but it has a dismal box office in China, even if it tops the weekly box office in North America, it cannot hide the fiasco in China.
The abnormal performance of "The Matrix - Short Moment Revolution" surprised the American media who tracked the report, with a box office of 18 million yuan in the first week, equivalent to more than 2 million US dollars, compared with 88 million US dollars in North America, it is a very painful number.
