Chapter 399 Blockbuster Coming - "Fuse" VS "Infernal Affairs"

Because of the successive postponements of "Elf" and "Black 3", Zhou Shaoming knew that the North American box office results of "Fuse" could be roughly preserved.

However, Zhou Shaoming is more concerned about the box office performance of "The Fuse" in the Chinese film market, and this Hong Kong-style police film is an important step for the supernova to win the audience's reputation in the Chinese film market.

In Zhou Shaoming's eyes, the Chinese film market has great potential, and the Chinese film market has a greater rate of return than the North American film market, which is already saturated.

In North America, due to "Fuse"'s biggest competitor, Warner's "The Matrix 3" was delayed for a month, and there are basically no blockbusters to compete with "Fuse" on Eleven.

However, on the side of the Chinese film market, it just so happened that "Infernal Affairs 2" also began to be released on October 1, and both of them are action movies with the theme of police and bandits.

Each has its own advantages, what kind of sparks will be created? Zhou Shaoming is looking forward to it.

Even the Phoenix Entertainment Daily said: "Two action movies with the same theme of police and bandits, "Fuse" and "Infernal Affairs 2" will be released on October 1 at the same time. It's worth the wait. ”

"It's released, October 1 is approaching, "Fuse" will be released globally, whether Smith Week can get his wish and set off a movie climax in Asia, we will wait and see." —Asia Daily

On October 1, "Fuse" had its world premiere.

On that day, the hottest topic in the whole of China was "Fuse" VS "Infernal Affairs 2".

The two films have their own advantages.

The first is "Fuse", which has been very well publicized in China in recent times. Of course, "Infernal Affairs 2" also has a high popularity and popularity because of the success of 1.

The two are almost evenly matched in this regard.

Again. Director. It must be Zhou Shaoming who has the advantage, but "Infernal Affairs" has a group of loyal fans, so it's about the same.

Therefore, who of the two major films can defeat each other in China. It also depends on the quality of the film.

In the days before the release of the film, Zhou Shaoming also found a lot of connections and spent a lot of money to successfully retain "The Fuse".

After all, this movie is a film that is close to R-rate. Normally, in China, it is necessary to delete the clips or not show them at all.

And Zhou Shaoming made a lot of effort in order to succeed, and finally basically kept the whole version of the movie.

On October 1st, the day of the premiere, Zhou Shaoming still did not return to the United States, and all the relevant things about the release of "Fuse" in North America were handed over to Jon!

In a movie theater in China, Zhou Shaoming looked at the big screen seriously.

At this moment, a man suddenly flashed in the dark screen, this man appeared in the boxing gym, and he was in the boxing ring. said to the man who was boxing in front of him: "Fat dog, I've been hiding for so long." I couldn't catch it this time, and it was difficult to deal with it. As the man spoke, the two began to confront each other.

In the boxing ring, the appearance of the man caught the fat dog a little off guard, facing the man in front of him, the fat dog was thrown to the ground after two fights, and the man's fist kept beating the fat dog who was knocked down on the ground.

Christina, who was beside Zhou Shaoming, couldn't help but pursed her lips and said, "Zhou, the scene is a little violent." Christina looks at the opening scene of "The Fuse".

Before Christina finished speaking, I saw the man start to talk alone on the camera: I've been a policeman for so long, have you arrested the wrong person? This time, the question was answered by the judge. My profession is that the man pauses and then says: The police arrest people.

Christina's eyes lit up, looking at the police man's monologue, the look on his face when he spoke, Christina couldn't help but take a deep breath and said lightly: "This policeman is not only agile and good at kung fu, but also a very sexy man." ”

Zhou Shaoming listened to Christina's words, couldn't help but take Christina's hand and asked, "Am I sexy?" ”

Christina smiled at the corner of her mouth and said, "Much sexier than you." It can be seen that at least this policeman only has the share of beating people, just like if you meet a bad person, you can only be beaten. ”

Zhou Shaoming faced Christina's kind ridicule, with an expression of wanting to cry without tears on his face, and said secretly in his heart: But I at least have a sense of justice in my heart.

At this time, the movie theater was full of people, and everyone was watching the movie seriously, and there was no doubt that the first part of the movie had attracted many people.

There was no sound of eating in the quiet movie theater, Zhou Shaoming was very satisfied with this situation, and continued to watch the movie with a smile.

As the screen lights up, the image of the police ends, and the cast of "Fuse" begins to appear.

Jason Statham starring - Parker.

Stop. Jackman starring - Thomson.

Wu Jing starring - Tony.

Idrith starring – Spike.

Starring Jackie - Loos.

Scarlett Johansson starring - Schi.

In the bar, the Tony brothers and Paul are talking about drugs, the lights are spinning, and Spike is dancing in the middle of the beautiful women, followed by the charming women around him.

Spike, who looks like a hooligan, is always invincible to the charm of the little white face, and when a little white face appears in front of the dancing women, Spike is suddenly compared. Back in his seat, he drank bitter wine and said, "Lost again." You can feel Spike's anger at this point.

The audience in the theater had been staring at Spike's depressed appearance in front of the camera, and suddenly, Spike picked up the wine bottle in front of him and went out, hitting the forehead directly of the little white face, and the little white face was instantly smashed to the ground.

The audience in the theater suddenly exclaimed.

A fat man kept eating the popcorn in his hand and said, "Fight, fight." ”

Even a beautiful woman next to the fat man couldn't help it, drank the coke in her mouth, and said: "It's too violent, but this kind of man is so safe." "Take another sip of the Coke in your mouth. Staring at the screen of the theater.

"Oh my God! Spike is so handsome. It turns out that black people can be so handsome! ”

"It's called a cow fork. A cigar is smoked, and half a bottle of red wine flies in the air. Damn, it's cool and powerful! ”

The theater cheered because of such a wonderful shot.

Scarlett Johansson sat next to Zhou Shaoming. snorted at Zhou Shaoming and said, "Zhou, with just one shot, you can mobilize the ups and downs in the audience's heart." It's shameless. ”

Zhou Shaoming's eyes lit up, and he smiled evilly at Scarlett Johansson: "Are you praising me or scolding me?" Zhou Shaoming said, his hand couldn't help touching Scarlett Johansson's thigh, and Scarlett Johansson blushed for a while: "You are a bad person." ”

Zhou Shaoming was depressed for a while, he was an old husband and wife, and he was still like this.

At this time, in the movie, Parker led the team to the bar for inspection, and suddenly the lights of the bar came on, and the brilliant lights were gone. There was a feeling of anguish in the hearts of the audience, after a burst of surprise just now. I couldn't help but be a little disappointed, and finally I felt a kind of excitement, and I lost it all at once.

However, then, the excitement came again!

The handsome Thomson appeared in front of the audience, smoking a cigarette, and said to Parker, who was on the scene: "Officer, the bottle is still mine, so what."

Thomson said as he poured the wine in his hand directly at Parker, and then teased Parker.

"Damn! This kid is definitely not doing anything! Naked provocation. ”

"So handsome, this little gangster is so handsome!"

", Hugh Jackman knows? It's very handsome, but it's not as handsome as Jason! ”

"It's Hugh Jackman!"

The atmosphere in the theater finally became lively, all kinds of disputes and discussions were endless, although it was a little noisy, but Zhou Shaoming was still very satisfied with this atmosphere.

In the movie, Thomson says to Parker, "I'm sorry, sir. As he spoke, he helped Parker wipe the drink from his face. As if playing Tai Chi, he kept writhing on Parker's face.

From time to time, the audience screamed from women, who is this man, why does he look so handsome. From time to time, people ask who is playing Thomson in the film.

But is Parker easy to mess with? Before Thomson could react, Parker threw Thomson to the ground, grabbed Thomson's head between his legs, and grabbed Thomson on the ground.

"Is this how the police arrest people? How do you feel like you're wrestling? A bespectacled college student couldn't help but ask his classmates curiously.

"Cut, don't you think such a policeman has a lot of personality? Is it interesting to always watch the bad guys who beat up the police as soon as they came up, and didn't dare to fight back? It feels like that's the way it is real. The bad guy is not afraid of the police at all, and this cop has a lot of personality, and without saying a word, he will kill the bad guy and knock him to the ground. What's the name of that policeman? The classmates next to the man with glasses asked the people around him.

Before anyone else could tell the actor who was starring Parker by name, the college student returned to the screen again, watching Parker being investigated by police insiders and listening to the numerous reports of being complained about.

College students can't help but be amazed: such a cop is a good cop, and it is better to prove that he is doing things than those who only sit in the office and don't care about people's lives and deaths.

Next.

Thomson and Parker secretly met on the beach, and as soon as the two types of men appeared, there was a commotion in the audience.

Wow. Isn't this the gangster? How can you sit with a policeman like Parker who can fight righteously?

When people were a little surprised, the fat man eating popcorn couldn't help but mutter: "The brain is stupider than me, to ask such a stupid question, obviously Thomson is undercover, and they are now meeting to exchange information." Depend on. The fat man finished speaking, and then munched on popcorn.

The woman drinking Coke looked at Thomson and Parker on the screen, couldn't help but take a breath, and said, "It would be great if these two men could be my men." ”

The woman drank Coke and continued: "Thomson's ruffian appearance is so attractive, and Parker is a super muscular man, so secure. The woman said with a nymphomaniac look.

When the two exchanged information and saw Thomson molesting women like ruffians in the bowling alley again, it made the female audience present reverie in their hearts, such a ruffian police undercover agent, so stylish, but also humorous and handsome, it would be good if his boyfriend was like this.

But. Recently. After Paul's goods were swallowed. With a group of people finding Spike and the others, Spike faces Lobo and brings a group of people to him.

Unhurriedly, he said: "These are my friends, and they have nothing to do with this matter." Then, only Spike was left on the bowling alley. Thomson, the three of Loos, were surrounded by a dozen burly thugs led by Paul.

"It's so arrogant, the three brothers are really arrogant. Naked bullies! ”

"I like the boss, although he is a black man, he is not very handsome, but his arrogant and domineering temperament is so stylish."

"It's going to be fought again, it's so fucking wonderful and violent!"

There was another heated discussion,

Before Paul could finish talking to Spike, Thomson stepped forward to tease Paul, who expected Paul to kick Thomson to the ground.

Suddenly, the woman drinking Coke choked on the Coke in her mouth and said, "Ah. My Thomson. The woman watched as Thomson clutched her aching stomach and stood up. I couldn't help but have a look of concern on my face.

However, at this time, Tony appeared strongly, and the people in the audience were stunned, you see, Wu Jing played.

"Wu Jing? Who is Wu Jing? ”

Some viewers were stunned, listening to the words of the people around them, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "This person seems to have seen it, it should be our Chinese actor." ”

The fat man eating popcorn has a feeling of death, why is his IQ lower than me, have you ever watched a movie or a TV series, even Wu Jingjing doesn't know, the fat man wants to swallow popcorn.

With a wave of his hand, Tony threw the bench next to him and threw it at Paul, and Paul was knocked over on the spot, and Tony immediately started to do it. This is the scene in "The Fuse", where the three brothers do it together.

At this time, the audience's eyes lit up, watching Paul and a dozen burly and sturdy thugs in front of the Tony brothers, like little minions, were beaten to the ground in a few strokes.

The fat man forgot the popcorn in his hand at this time, stared at the screen, and couldn't help shouting: "Hit, hit, hit to death." ”

The woman drinking Coke stared at Thomson, and couldn't help but smile evilly and said: "Thomson, this guy is so cunning, others fight, but he steals fun on the side." ”

Next is a personal show of Tony, and it is also a personal show of Wu Jing, which is so handsome!

That skill is simply invincible!

The audience at the scene watched with wide eyes one by one, plus Wu Jing is Chinese, naturally there are many people who know him, and many people shout Wu Jing from small to loud.

The atmosphere in the theater is getting hotter and hotter.

"Zhou, Wu Jing, what about them?" Just then, Christina asked.

"In the hall next to it."

"Why?"

"We appeared together, the goal was too big, I didn't know if I would be discovered by fans, and then it was not good to go back! And I want to have a two-person world with you, so that watching movies can be fun! ”

"Death Phase!"

The three Tony brothers not only swallowed Paul's goods, but also beat him up in the bowling alley. Facing the strong Tony brothers, the audience couldn't help but take a deep breath, it was really not wrong, it seemed more real than in the promotional video.

This fight scene is very hot, Wu Jingshuai exploded!

This is the beginning of "The Fuse", and the hearts of the audience began to fluctuate. Parker's image of integrity and ability to fight is deeply remembered by the audience.

Thomson has a flamboyant tongue, but his appearance has to be fascinated by countless women, looking like a ruffian, and even more like a ruffian police undercover, making people expect him to do something in the future.

And Wu Jing showed a strong skill, which made people look forward to it.

The personalities of the three Tony brothers who are not afraid of heaven and earth play the underworld characters vividly. At this moment, the audience in the theater is deeply attracted by the film and keeps following the camera in the film.

In North America, with the strong release of "Fuse", in the month of October, there are basically no blockbusters competing with "Fuse" for the North American box office results.

It is conceivable that on October 1st, in the theater, the attendance rate of "Fuse" was close to 70%, which is very good for a movie, and the general movie attendance rate in the theater is 40%.

However, the first premiere of "Fuse" was released, and it was not easy to have such an attendance rate in the middle of the night.

In other regions, "The Fuse" is obviously not as good as North America, although Zhou Shaoming has hyped it up in the Chinese film market, but because Chinese audiences have long been accustomed to watching movies at home, or watching inferior movie pictures on the Internet, at this time in China, "Fuse" is a little miserable.

After the premiere, Zhou Shaoming went back to California directly with the team!

The next day, the statistics of the first day appeared.

On the day of the premiere, the attendance rate of "Fuse" in China was less than 50%, which really made Jon and others of Supernova Entertainment Company pinch a cold sweat.

If this continues, "The Fuse" is bound to fail at the box office in the Chinese film market, which will directly break the capital chain of Supernova Entertainment Film and Television Company.

Zhou Shaoming looked at Jon next to him and said to Jon: "Jon, help me see, what is the box office revenue of "Fuse" in this area of Hong Kong now?" ”

Cold sweat broke out on Jon's forehead and said: "Zhou, when is it now, still care about Hong Kong, the Chinese mainland film market, our "Fuse" premiere today is much worse than imagined." ”

Zhou Shaoming looked stunned and said to Jon: "Isn't the box office performance in Chinese mainland more than tens of millions?" I think it's good. There are no problems, and now our focus is on the box office results of Hong Kong movies, after all, here we have met a strong enemy, "Infernal Affairs 2". ”

With "Infernal Affairs" setting off a successful series of movies in China that fights wits and courage between police and bandits, "Infernal Affairs 2" began to be released in China after a year.

"Infernal Affairs 2", which also premiered on October 1, met "Fuse" filmed by Zhou Shaoming, which can be regarded as bad luck. (To be continued.) )
