An incomparably grand and grand premiere ended with a bang. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Although Chen Xiaotang has passed the stage of needing gimmicks to hype the film, just relying on his international superstar popularity and the reputation of his previous works there, he can cheat hundreds of millions of box office in the pockets of global audiences, but the media still made the premiere of this drama the most eye-catching event in the world.
There are a lot of reporters from this premiere, including reporters from the three major TV networks in North America, which shows the great influence of Hong Kong films and the wide popularity of Chen Xiaotang. What makes Chen Xiaotang laugh is that it is not just an entertainment reporter who comes here. There are also quite a few financial and financial journalists.
Chen Xiaotang clicked at random and selected a reporter from the Los Angeles News to ask the first question.
The black reporter of the newspaper stood up and asked intently: "Dear Lafite, do you have confidence in this drama against Hollywood?" After all, this drama is an original Chinese-language movie, unlike your last "Qin Shi Huang", which belongs to Fox Productions and has an innate advantage in the United States. ”
"Hehe, I don't need to say whether this drama is good or not, you have already watched it just now, so do you think it is qualified to compete with Hollywood blockbusters?" Chen Xiaotang asked rhetorically.
"This ...... But this time, MGM's sci-fi blockbuster "Jurassic Park" is also about to be released, the director is the well-known director Spielberg, and the film genre is the sci-fi that Americans are keen on, so I don't think your "Havoc in Heaven" can win! The black journalist said sincerely.
Chen Xiaotang nodded, "You're right. In terms of the habitual movie-watching attitude of American audiences, I don't have any advantage, but this will make people look forward to it more, right? ”
"What do you mean......"
"There is competition, there is motivation! And everyone is also curious. Whether my drama can impress the American audience, my Monkey King and Mr. Spielberg's big dinosaur will have a fight to the death during this time, which is very exciting! Chen Xiaotang said it in a joyful tone, and he didn't seem to be worried or worried.
His attitude stunned many reporters, and another white reporter asked: "Dear Lafite, I may ask." Do you do this because you are too confident, or because you genuinely welcome as many opponents as possible? ”
"How can I say this......" Chen Xiaotang pondered for a moment. Then he said, "I guess it's both." I'm not afraid to lose, but winning too easily doesn't show what I'm capable of. Of course, if this drama really has to hit the streets. I will also be very annoyed and regretful. After all, I'm a filmmaker, and as a filmmaker, you have to have an aggressive spirit, like a bull in a Spanish bullring, keep rushing forward, and you will win! ”
The spirit of "aggressiveness" in the West and the East is very different, and traditional Chinese thought is biased towards "moderation", which means being humble. Be patient, don't be reckless. and do not be reckless; The West is different, they advocate this western cowboy fighting spirit, thinking that as a strong man, you must have a strong fighting spirit, always looking for enemies to duel, because only in the non-stop duel, when you are strong, you can continue to improve your ability.
Therefore, Chen Xiaotang's words hit the hearts of these Western media, and after listening to his words, everyone's first feeling is that the strong should be like this!
The Chinese present sighed, what is called Dugu seeking defeat? That's !!
This premiere was definitely a success, especially at the box office, and it was a complete hit for all the films of the same period, and on the day of the world premiere, the total box office revenue reached a staggering $30 million! That's amazing for any filmmaker! You must know that at this time, the $30 million is equivalent to 1.8 billion Hong Kong dollars, that is to say, Chen Xiaotang's new film has just premiered and has a box office of more than 100 million, and it is more than 1 billion!!
What kind of film is "Havoc in Heaven"? No one can give a completely correct answer. But many people can say that this is a film that integrates business and art perfectly, you can see the wonderful scenes in the film that make people see heart attacks, and you can deeply experience the profound meaning that comes out of the film at all times.
Fight with the sky, and the fun is endless!
Fight with the gods, and the fun is endless!
Fighting with the will of the gods of heaven and heaven is even more fun!
Many Chinese and foreign media and film critics also commented on this drama for the first time.

"Has the world's cinema technology reached this point? After watching "Havoc in Heaven", I had deep doubts. Perhaps Chinese-language movies have surpassed our imagination. Raffi Chen, give us a feast for the eyes! French "Free Review"

……
If these comments are just some of the viewing feelings so far, then the comments of some professionals are a little different.
"After watching "Havoc in Heaven", at that moment, you and I will know that Lafite Chen has more intentions in it. It's just that we have never been able to figure it out. This time, Chen Xiaotang went further, and the theme was conveyed through very clever and multi-faceted structural techniques. I can't put it into words, it's something that can be understood but not spoken. It can be said that this time Rafi Chen's comeback has really put him on the road to mastery. "Hollywood professional critic Jefferson.
"In the past few days, the popularity of Lafite Chen's "Havoc in Heaven" has also plunged global audiences and us film critics into a kind of bliss and pain, because we can experience the thrill beyond imagination in the film. It hurts a lot, because we find it difficult for us to experience Lafite Chan's intentions in the film. Although he said it himself before that revolution and rebellion were the theme, after reading it, we vaguely found that it was not the monkey who was really revolutionizing and rebelling, but Rafichen himself! Yes, it was he who was revolutionizing and rebelling. used his play to bring a new revolution to film technology, and used his play to lead Chinese films to rebel against Hollywood! "Benjamin, a famous film critic in Cannes, France.
"After we watched the drama "Havoc in Heaven", the first thought was, is this really just a magical masterpiece? No, the answer is no. Because we see a lot of clues in it. Following these clues, we can trace the profound intentions of Lafite Chen and understand his ingenious use of structural techniques. He used the so-called magic to cover all of us, and his real purpose is to pursue freedom and democracy, and eliminate bondage and oppression! From this point of view, Raffi Chen has reached the highest peak of filmmakers, and he is shouting for the world! "The famous Italian film critic Lulugusi.
In this way, without much advertising, without much marketing strategy, with these explosive review articles, "Havoc in Heaven" swept everything in the world in ten days, like a tornado, sweeping all the banknotes of the world film industry into the pocket, according to incomplete statistics, in the past ten days, the global box office has reached an astonishing 300 million US dollars, and it has maintained an extremely stable box office figure.
At the same time, Spielberg, another king of Hollywood, has finally released his new work "Jurassic Park".
Ace vs. Ace!
The battle of kings is about to begin!
As we all know, Spielberg is the anchor of the entire Hollywood, and almost every one of his plays can cause a huge sensation in North America and even the world, especially when the filming of "Jurassic Park" started this time, he has already done enough publicity stunts, and even the original version sold in a mess, which can be said to have gathered a lot of popularity around the world. What's more, what Spielberg represents this time is the whole of Hollywood, in order to fight against Chen Xiaotang, a raptor from the East, and against the rapid rise of Chinese films, Spielberg's MGM company is even more handshaken with Columbia, Universal, Warner, Paramount, and Disney, and the six major companies have joined forces to fight against Magic Entertainment led by Chen Xiaotang and his Fox!
In other words, this is the battle of the century for Magic Shadow Entertainment, a company that monopolizes the six major Hollywood studios, and shocks the world!!
One to six!
Whether in terms of lineup or strength, Magic Shadow Entertainment does not have an advantage, the only thing that can be said to be better is that it was released half a month earlier than the other party in "Havoc in Heaven", occupying the advantage of the box office, but this advantage soon fell into a slump in the unparalleled mass filming of "Jurassic Park".
You must know that the six major Hollywood film companies are not vegetarians, in addition to production and distribution, everyone's theater chain is extremely powerful, not only dominating in North America, but also overseas. It can be said that from the perspective of theaters, Magic Shadow Entertainment's "Havoc in Heaven" lost three streets!
It is under such circumstances that "Jurassic Park", which was born in Hollywood, immediately pocketed $35 million at the box office as soon as it was painted, which is 5 million more than "Havoc in Heaven!!
It can be said that the combination of the six major Hollywood film companies is simply earth-shattering, and it will be earth-shattering as soon as it is shot.
However, what makes people feel incredible is that "Havoc in Heaven" is getting more and more frustrated, and with the release of blockbusters such as "Jurassic Park", it still failed to drive this film out of the theater, but continued to continue with a good box office in a very survivable way in major theaters around the world.
Fight, keep !! (To be continued......)
