Chapter 290: Regret dying

ps: Rise up, brothers, the goal of the sixth watch is only a dozen or so monthly passes, don't fall on the finish line, rush to the !!!!!!!!

There are good and bad, some people praise and some people step on them, and there is never a shortage of opposites in this world, because there is no 100% perfection in things.

Two clowns who are just tongue-in-cheek, even the funny way, the development of the plot and the final result are Hollywood-style, but unfortunately, the imitation is too clumsy - "Miami Star"

The plot is old-fashioned, and the result of every plot change can be guessed at the beginning, and Hollywood for Hollywood's sake, and what comes out in the end is just a sensationalizing thing, without a little connotation and its own thing - "Boston Herald"

The plot is empty, except for the two people who fight each other there, the rest of the plot is good - "The Washington Post"

There are the most comments on the movie, but there are few comments about Chen Jin and Zhang Weijian, and it is obvious that everyone has a natural dislike for the two Hong Kong people.

That Mike is played by a very popular musician and film actor in Hong Kong, he is very talented, from music producer, songwriter to singer, to film actor, director, producer and producer, and screenwriter, it is said that this movie was written by him, he has a very interesting English name king, which is the English translation of his Chinese gold, however, in Hong Kong, some people call him king.

Perhaps, his most powerful thing is his Chinese kung fu, I heard that the fight scenes in the movie were all designed by him, and he can really fight a dozen or so many by himself, with bare hands, I really want to see if this is true.

He's famous, but he's also a playboy, this time, he played this role as a true performance, nothing too brilliant, but another guy named dick played Maxi is a bit interesting, I heard that he is still a rookie who has just become famous, but I'm very optimistic about his prospects - "Hollywood Face"

This is the only one that mentions Chen Jin and Zhang Weijian in more detail, and the others are very brief, with praise and disparagement.

Undoubtedly, the film director was very successful in casting, and the actor of that Mike made people feel oily and powdery as soon as he appeared, and he was a complete playboy; And the other Maxi actor gives people a very funny sense of humor, and his movements and even the bald head give him more points - "Star Daily"

Maxi is played by a very amazing feeling, he has found a kind of Western humor, and that playboy, well, he has a face that makes men all over the world jealous, and maybe that figure, I think, has nothing to do with movies anymore - Los Angeles Times

The script is okay, but this gang of actors completely ruined the movie, a bunch of guys who don't know what to call it, they don't understand the American language at all - "Perimeter Dots"

I don't know what the director thinks, why he keeps letting that playboy leave his shirt open, well, I'll admit it, this guy is really charming, but this is a movie, not selling meat, and that's the biggest failure of this movie - "Movie People"

For better or worse, in a word, many media are paying attention to the fact that the movie "Jedi Men" is true, and, although it has mixed reviews, in the third week, the number of theaters still increased to 1,108, and the box office also recorded a high number of 26.3 million in the weekend box office statistics of the third week, once again advancing one place on the weekly box office list and gaining the eighth position.

By the end of this week's weekend, the box office in the United States had reached 50 million, and there was still a week to go, the final fourth week, and the film would be released from theaters unless there was a special reason.

As for the global box office, in addition to the United States, "Jedi Men", which has been released in various countries one after another, has also achieved a good result of more than 40 million US dollars, plus the results of North America, I believe that in the next weekend, it is not delusional to get more than 100 million US dollars at the global box office. …,

The expected success at the box office also shows to a certain extent that Chen Jin and they are doing a good job and the direction is right, and the audience can be regarded as recognizing, which includes Chen Jin and Chen Zichen are very happy.

The only regret may be that Chen Jin and Zhang Weijian did not become an instant hit, and the media attention is not high, perhaps, if Chen Jin and Zhang Weijian were in Hollywood now, some studios might ask them to play some roles, but because of their Hong Kong identity, they could not get the same recognition as Will Smith and Lawrence, who are black but Americans.

Obviously, if they want to succeed, they need to work harder, and they need to pay more hardship than the Americans, which is determined by their identity, and by an underlying thinking and perspective of that country in the United States.

Another interesting thing is that because of the success of "Jedi Men", the North American distribution of the movie "Farewell My Concubine" has also gone a lot smoother, and 21st Century Fox has made concessions on many conditions.

In any case, Hong Kong films have finally made a big splash all over the world, and this is the unanimous voice of all Hong Kong media now, or rather, it has been the focus of continuous excitement for the past three weeks, and even in Asia -- just one day slower than the United States, "Jedi Men" was released in Japan, South Korea and Taiwan, and all of them were well received, and the box office was as much as 12 million US dollars, which is more than 100 million Hong Kong dollars.

Hong Kong was the first to be released, and when it recorded nearly 30 million Hong Kong dollars in the first week, those guys in the Hong Kong media who were watching a good show first shut up; By the second week, with the efforts of Universal Pictures, the film was successively released in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and other places.

In the first week of overseas release, because it had just started to be promoted, there was not much turmoil, neither good nor bad, the only good ones were Japan, South Korea and Taiwan in Asia, and these three places were also affected by Chen Jin's popularity.

But no matter what, whether it's bad or not, there are more than 10 million US dollars in the world, which is more than 80 million Hong Kong dollars, how to say, plus Hong Kong's box office is now close to 50 million, Chen Jin won this time.

However, the third week of the release in Hong Kong was very dull, only barely 10 million, and it was really the first half of the month that almost all everyone's enthusiasm was exhausted, but this is also a change in practice after the release of the movie, not to mention, even so, the total box office has more than 56 million, which can be regarded as a new record.

However, just when everyone thought it was stopped, the next shocking scene appeared, the crazy turn started from overseas, Hong Kong's flatness does not mean the global box office flat, and by the weekend, the news from the United States shocked everyone, "Jedi Men" actually had a whopping $20.3 million in the second week of its release in the United States, and at the same time, in addition to other places in the United States, there were also more than $18 million at the box office.

In the third week of overseas releases, almost all countries had increased theaters, and at the same time, the focus of the media also brought more people into the cinema, so on the weekend of the third week, the United States recorded more than $26 million at the box office, while other regions had more than $28 million at the box office.

At this time, it was January 5, 1993, and "Jedi Men" had been removed from all cinemas in Hong Kong, and finally recorded a record box office of 66.63 million Hong Kong dollars. ..., if in the past, a box office of 66.63 million was enough to make all Hong Kong filmmakers blush and crazy, but with overseas distributions of more than 90 million US dollars, close to 800 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office, and it may be even higher in the future, everyone is like a person choking their necks.

However, a brief silence was followed by a burst of madness, and the first thing that appeared in front of the public was the noise of the media.

Look, what I said before, I said that King Chan is not a reckless man, he is always so wise and everything is under control, and the facts have proved him right, and it has also proved my excellent vision - the scarecrow of "Film Weekly".

Do you need to say anything, many people think that King Chen will suffer Waterloo, but I have always believed that he is the greatest one - the lazy person of "Entertainment Point-to-Point".

I have been emphasizing that everyone should give Wang Chen more confidence, he is so talented, so clever and wise, how could he make such a low-level mistake, all of which can only prove the stupidity of those who want to slander him

Like the three newspapers and magazines above, many people retorted very shamelessly for the first time before such great achievements, as if they were the guy who really supported Chen Jin all the time, and he was the king of the media.

Of course, there are also different voices:

I regret that I was not so resolute when I supported King Chen, but he told me with facts that he is really so great, always so great, those shameless guys, you stop preaching that you are the only one who supports King Chen, I am the only one, I am unfortunately telling you a caution, last time, I collected all the articles about your criticism of King Chen, do you want me to publicize it?

I think it's better for you to come and invite me to a good drink--He Zidong of Oriental Daily

I thought about it for a moment, and I'm pretty sure I didn't support the guy who seemed crazy to me at the time, because I'm still a little incredulous, and it's really a miracle that deserves my admiration. Although I still don't understand how the movie sold so well, is this the reason why I am still so poor now, it seems that I have to try to find a piece of tofu - "Entertainment Unlimited" Shagang wolf

For the first time, I don't want to talk about King Chen and the woman, I want to praise him, although I must have sneered at this guy before, but it shouldn't be too late to make up for it now, or maybe it's much better than those guys who shamelessly shouted that they would have thrown themselves to the ground a long time ago.

King Chen is rich, and 60 million Hong Kong dollars may not be really a big deal for him, but I am impressed by the courage to use 60 million to build a new hope and goal, which may be the difference between him and me and others.

His talent doesn't need to prove anything anymore, but he has been making new explorations, this time, he boldly aimed overseas, and he dared to use Zhang Weijian as the real protagonist, let him play to his heart's content, and finally, although I have never understood too much whether that kind of movie is really great, but the success of "Jedi Men" tells me that this is the difference between him and me and others, and he really understands this.

Perhaps, he is really too different from me and the others, and this is the real king, he is the only one, who knows more, but works harder, and is braver, and knows better what his goal is.

Looking forward to his next surprise for us, in the end, I have to say that he is really an enviable playboy - "Entertainment Weekly" Ke Fan

Whether it's good or bad, whether it's slandering or supporting him before, on January 5th, although the movie is still being released, the grand celebration banquet of "Jedi Warriors" was officially held in the banquet hall of the Mandarin Hotel, and these entertainers were naturally invited to participate in such a grand event. ..., The Peninsula Hotel is obviously more luxurious, but Chen Jin prefers the human touch of the Mandarin Hotel, so he almost puts all the banquets on the side of the Mandarin Hotel, and in the circle, there are also some people who understand that Chen Jin does not like the Peninsula Hotel very much, and even, through this aspect, it proves that Chen Jin is not without temper, but rarely shows it.

Started at seven o'clock, and someone rushed over at five o'clock, but most of them were old friends, and these people hadn't seen each other for a long time, at most they had a phone call, first, it happened to be around Christmas, and there was no one who was not busy in the dark, and secondly, Chen Jin was also concentrating on preparing the Japanese singles that were about to be released, Korean singles and Cantonese albums, plus the later stage of "Winter Love Song" also needed him to completely check it, and when he was free, he filled up those commercial performances and advertising activities.

Of course, there are also Chen Jin who deliberately wants to avoid those entertainment memories and wants to calm down and plan for next year.

The first batch of people include Brother Fa, Brother, Sister Fang, Andy Lau, Jacky Cheung, Aaron Kwok, Liming, Lin Qingxia, Li Jiaxin and Wang Zuxian, and there are also two bigwigs in Brother Qiang and He Guanchang.

However, their biggest emotion now is only regret, and it is entirely possible that even the intestines are repentant, think about the beginning, if anyone was a little bolder, now it is ten times the harvest, Nana's, ten times, that is not ten dollars to a hundred, but ten million to 100 million, forty million to 400 million!

Special ps: Book friends who appear in this chapter, if you don't like it, don't blame it! If you want a trick, please leave a message in the book review area, I will definitely support it, and even any role can be said in detail, I will consider it!
