0175 [Release] Ask for the first booking and monthly pass
There are 3,022 paintings, this is the first time that a Chinese film has been made in the United States, and there are only more than 2,000 high-anticipated heroes at the beginning. This is thanks to the arrangement of Miramax Films, and the success of "Hero" has made Mira's senior management full of confidence in "Painted Skin".
Although Mira is owned by Disney, Harry, the former president, is the emperor of Hollywood, a legend who can pull 80% of the judges to California for a vacation before the Oscars. At the end of last year, the Harry brothers left Mira, which had a huge impact on Mira.
In order to reverse the company's crisis, Mira had to pin its hopes on "Painted Skin" and arranged so many theaters for "Painted Skin".
On May 7, "Painted Skin" was released simultaneously in North America and Asia, but because of the rush of time, no premiere was held and it was released directly. During this time period, "Mission Impossible 3" won $30 million at the box office in two days after its release, and "Rest Mission" also won more than 7 million box office in the second weekend, and then "American Strange Talk" more than 4 million can be ignored.
The opponent of "Painted Skin" in North America is "Mission Impossible 3".
On this day, at the China Grand Theater, Shao Shuaijun took Li Xiuxiu, Yang Ying and others to buy tickets to enter the venue and watch the first "Painted Skin".
The movie theater was not full, but it was not too small, so Shao Shuaijun and his party found a good place to sit down. American movie theaters are very strange, they don't sell tickets according to seats, they need everyone to grab them themselves, this is the so-called people's pig.
While waiting, Shao Shuaijun and Li Xiuxiu chatted.
During this time, Li Xiuxiu flew back and forth between the United States and China, and she was very busy. Today, it was Shao Shuaijun who forcibly pulled her over to watch the movie.
"Sister Xiuxiu, the scarf I told you about, how did you investigate?"
Li Xiuxiu grabbed the popcorn and reluctantly ate two bites, the popcorn here is salty, and she is not used to eating it: "The scarf you said is a good idea, I have instructed the Time.com team to start developing the time scarf." In the U.S., there is an Odeo company that has launched a service similar to a scarf called Twitter. However, their company's management team is ambivalent about its approach to Twitter. ”
"Oh?"
"Odeo's Jack. Dorsey and Noah. Glass tends to promote Twitter. But the other partners were not very interested. So the two left Odeo with twitter and started Obvious, a company that I thought we could give a venture capital to. ”
Shao Shuaijun nodded: "The prospects of Twitter are very broad, we must invest in it." You can see the specifics. "Shao Shuaijun is a reborn. I still know a lot about Twitter. This is the American version of the scarf, although it is not as big as Facebook's investment report, but it is also a potential stock worth investing in. After all, the Internet era has passed in 2006, and there are not many good investment projects that can be found.
"I feel that your vision is sometimes really accurate, you say that the time has come to acquire Golden Harvest, we really succeeded in acquiring Golden Harvest, you say that you invest in "Twilight", "Twilight" has become our cash cow. You are a person, you can't do business, why are your eyes so poisonous? Li Xiuxiu stretched out her hand and rubbed Shao Shuaijun's hair and asked with a smile.
Shao Shuaijun raised his eyebrows: "My eyes can see through the future...... Is this sentence windy? ”
"Pull the wind...... It's weird! ”
Talk about business and life, and soon, the movie will begin.
The doors were closed, the curtains were closed, the lights were extinguished, the advertisements on the big screen were emptied, and the cinema suddenly fell silent.
After a short period of time.
On the screen, you can see a golden desert, with ups and downs, and the sky is full of sunshine, making people feel as if they are in it. The images captured with Panavision cameras are so clear and striking that they seem to be able to distinguish the fine sand particles of the desert. At the beginning of this alone, the momentum of that blockbuster came to the face.
"Wow, where is this, the desert in China is so beautiful." There is Lao Mei amazed.
As the camera progresses, a team of cavalry appears in the desert, perfectly showing the desert march in front of the audience. Instead of letting the beauties enjoy this beauty, the movie quickly advances to the camp attack scene, and the first climax arrives. In the camp, Xiao Wei, played by Zhou Xun, was carried into the camp tent by the leader of the sand bandits, and laughed and gouged out the heart of the sand bandits.
"Oh, buy karma! This beautiful oriental beauty has dug out each other's hearts, and she can still laugh, it's too subversive! ”
Lao Mei was shocked by Xiao Wei's contrast between the front and back.
When she was digging her heart, Wang Jiajun rushed into the camp, all kinds of assassination methods, all kinds of team cooperation, all kinds of sharp running positions, in the high-speed camera, firmly grabbed Lao Mei's heart. Shao Shuaijun, who had already watched it hundreds of times, didn't bother to watch the movie, but looked around a little nervously to see Lao Mei's reaction.
"Painted Skin" has undergone a lot of revisions by him, but he is not completely sure whether it will be a success.
Fortunately, after watching around for a while, Shao Shuaijun had a little confidence, and Lao Mei was completely attracted by the real and hot plot of this scene. There was no whispering, no sound of snacks, Shao Shuaijun even saw an old and beautiful girl, grabbing a handful of popcorn and putting it to her mouth.
But after waiting for a full minute, the popcorn was still in his mouth, and he just grabbed it in his hand.
In the passionate soundtrack, Wang Jiajun defeated the sand bandits, and Wang Sheng appeared in the camp in shining armor. Xiao Wei immediately looked at Wang Sheng pitifully, Wang Sheng pinned the knife behind him and stretched out his hand: "Come, I'll take you away!" ”
"Oh, she's a bad person, be careful!" The old beautiful girl waved excitedly and sprinkled popcorn all over the audience in front of her.
The audience member was also waving: "This general, you are stupid, she is a killer!" "I didn't even notice that I was sprinkled with popcorn, but naturally pinched one from the neckline and stuffed it into my mouth.
The plot moves forward quickly.
Wang Jiajun returned to the city victoriously, Xiao Wei entered the palace, and the original version of "Painted Skin" at this stage, the rhythm was greatly reduced, it seemed too long, and it was impossible to distinguish between priority and priority, and deliberately portrayed Pang Yong played by Donnie Yen, which made the plot go wrong. Shao Shuaijun's version of "Painted Skin", in this episode, reduced Pang Yong's role.
The key portrayal is that after tracing, Xiao Wei's identity was obtained. It's a fox demon, in order to pursue beauty, he took off his fox skin and replaced it with a beautiful human skin, which is the origin of the painted skin. Here, Shao Shuaijun also modified the bugs of the original version, and the original version is clearly a fox, but it is like a ghost wearing human skin, which is inconsistent.
"Flowers, trees, birds, beasts, insects, fish, as long as it is life, there is a chance to turn on the spirit and turn into a monster. Xiao Wei of the palace is a fox incarnated, dressed in human skin for beauty, and must be fed by a fresh human heart! Xia Bing, the descendant of the exorcist played by Sun Li, said to Pei Rong to explain Xiao Wei's roots.
"Is that Xiao Wei the monster in the legend of the East, it's incredible, he can even put on human skin. The imagination of the Chinese is very powerful! ”
Lao Mei can't help but praise it. (To be continued......)
