Chen Xiaotang's "Blizzard" album can be described as a tornado in the North American market. The movie "League of Assassins" starring Mike and Madonna, the king of heaven, and Madonna will be released soon. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoFor this drama, Chen Xiaotang doesn't have much demand at the box office. But the award has always been the biggest hope in his heart!

For a long time, Chinese actors have not been able to squeeze into the ranks of Hollywood's top actors. And if you want to win the best honor Oscar in Hollywood, it is even more foolish.

This time, Chen Xiaotang relied on Jing Zhan's acting skills, and the character he created in "League of Assassins" is no longer just the role of a kung fu star, but has integrated into the jing essence of "Fight Club", so Chen Xiaotang hopes and looks forward to opening the door to the Oscars with this play, but can he?!..

The computer special effects of "League of Assassins" almost collapsed the special effects company, and the requirements in the later stage also made all the strong people a little weak-hearted, Chen Xiaotang's requirements were too high! However, this is the weapon he uses to conquer all the film awards. And how can you not build it to perfection?

In the end, this important task was handed over to the hands of industrial light and magic, and the boss of light and magic, Lucas, had already hooked up with Chen Xiaotang, in the words of other Hollywood special effects companies, the relationship between the two was "unclear", the bearded Lucas and the handsome guy Chen Xiaotang had a clear relationship, from time to time? a>. You come and go, ambiguous mess.

In fact, everyone wronged Chen Xiaotang, how to say that he is now half of the partner of Light and Magic, although his partner swore when he invested in Light and Magic that he would never interfere in the internal affairs of Light and Magic. and future development, but occasionally walk around and make some small comments, it is still necessary...

Anyway. Chen Xiaotang spent a lot of effort on the drama "League of Assassins", and in the eyes of outsiders, it was quite expensive.

Yes, Chen Xiaotang is trying to hit the Oscars and the Golden Statue with this "League of Assassins", otherwise why would he insist on investing in this drama. And with the help of Fox's power to promote and publish, engage in such high computer stunts, and perform them with super hard work...... Only by opening up countless joints. Only by connecting this drama to the ground can he get through the second pulse of Ren Du like a martial arts master, and then point to Oscar.

However, many Hollywood filmmakers are not so easy to fool. Chen Xiaotang's self-evident ambition has made many people can't help but get in jail.

"Oh God, how is that possible? Could it be that Rafi Chen wants to enter the Oscars with this play? A commercial film, a commercial film starring Chinese? Oscar's door isn't so easy to squeeze into! Entertainment Weekly.

"Raffi Chen's new film Yu wants to point to the Oscars. But we were skeptical. Will such a commercial action movie be favored by the Oscar jury? The Wall Street Journal.

"The judging criteria for the Oscars have always been very harsh, especially for movies starring foreigners, there is often an invisible discrimination, so I am afraid that Rafi Chen's drama will fail and not even get an Oscar nomination!" Time Magazine.

……

No matter how the entire Hollywood judges or speculates about Chen Xiaotang's ambitious work, one thing can be said that everyone is not very optimistic about this drama hitting the Oscars. After all, this drama is a commercial film. It's an action movie, especially Chen Xiaotang is still Chinese!

It's in the gossip of public opinion. The trailer of "League of Assassins" came out, and the first one was a two-minute trailer on the radio station in the United States with the theme of "bullets will bend, and waste wood becomes superpower", which can be regarded as letting American audiences see how to "use" the gun.

Immediately afterwards, the second trailer was released, this one is a cold weapon duel scene. Especially in the film, which is almost comparable to the knife battle of Hong Kong martial arts films, it is enough to dazzle everyone, if these Yankees have read Gu Long novels, they will definitely know these moves: ?a>. Hongxue's Tianya Ming Knife, Xiao Li Tanhua's flying knife stunt, and Ximen Blowing Snow's sword legend...... Of course, in order to be grounded, the "divine sword" here is an authentic Western sword......

Anyway, as soon as the two trailers were released, everyone was confused, what trick was Rafichen playing?

However, unfortunately, this drama was not released immediately!

Looking forward to it, everyone is looking forward to it!

Hollywood people can't even believe that they are so full of expectations just to watch a movie.

People who like Chen Xiaotang feel that it is worth looking forward to it!

Those who like Mike and Madonna also think it's worth it!

But in the eyes of many Hollywood studios, this expectation is too fucking shit!

Let's ask, since the Hollywood film industry, such as MGM, Warner, Universal and Columbia, who has not tried the trick of "hanging people's appetites". But compared to other people's dramas, it's simply not in the stream!

Have you ever seen thousands of movie fans line up to buy tickets on benches in order to see this drama this morning, and some even sleep on the streets overnight? Can you see that? a>. Crazy fans holding up "League of Assassins" posters, shouting, and swaggering? Can you see that Fox and its cinemas have already sold out in advance?

O unjust, unjust!

These big film companies believe that the reason why this drama became popular before it was released was not because Chen Xiaotang was too powerful, but because he pulled Mike and Madonna, the two kings and queens, as "signboards".

However, these Hollywood bigwigs are not giving up, in their opinion, whether the play is good or not is not who has the final say, nor whether there are many big names in the play, but it depends on the content.

Don't think that you, a Chinese kid, can sit back and relax when you join the two great Hollywood heroes in your play, let's see the situation after the release, no one knows whether you laugh or cry!

You must know that whether it is Mike or Madonna, it is the first time to act in a movie, and all Hollywood bigwigs believe that the acting skills of this pair of kings and queens alone...... It must be funny.

So, just wait and see the excitement!

In anticipation, October 12, 1986.

The League of Assassins has finally announced its official premiere.

But before the release, something happened. The reason is that our Mike King has a big word that he doesn't choose.

"The box office broke 500 million, what is this howling? Or is it self-confidence? Los Angeles Times

"The film has generated nearly a hundred dollars at the box office from the very beginning. Up to now, with hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue, the profits of the film industry have been increasing, of course, while the income is increasing, the investment is not static, it is also increasing. As of now, the world's highest box office is $540 million. Its name is 1977's "Star Wars", and it grossed $710 million at the global box office, of course. Because it has been produced for a long time, the box office will gradually increase to the current so much, but no matter what, "Star Wars" is already a well-deserved 'king of the box office'. Many people agree on this. ”

"But. Just yesterday, Mike Tianwang, who starred in "League of Assassins", directly said that this drama will break 500 million! We don't know where his confidence comes from, yes, although we all believe in his status as the king in the music world, but when it comes to movies, please forgive us for being blunt, he is still a chick after all! Unfortunately, his speech still touched our nerves. We are looking forward to this so-called blockbuster that 'broke 500 million at the box office', and we expect our king to 'soar into the sky'. Or rely on big words, just fall to death! ”

……

"Five hundred million dollars, that's not a fun number!" The Times

"There are always some crazy people in the world, Napoleon in France, Stalin in the Soviet Union...... But I want to say now that a crazy guy in the film industry is now freshly baked, and that person is the pop king Mike Brown, who has many, many fanatical 'fans'. Jackson! ”

"Self-confidence is a good thing, and everyone should be confident. However, when this self-confidence breaks through one's own ability, self-confidence is not called self-confidence, but conceit. ”

"Five hundred million dollars? Breaking $500 million at the box office? My God! I thought we Mike King was joking, but it was confirmed that this one was known for his singing, but his acting was terrible...... It seems that this is the king of his first play, and he is not joking. Well, since he is so unashamed, let's take a look at the results and see how this singer has become a king of drama......"

……

"Our idol Mike is going to break the record, what should we do?" New York Chinese Community Newspaper

"Brothers and sisters, ladies and gentlemen, have you seen the overwhelming advertising? Everyone saw our idol Mike. Did Jackson make a shocking record-breaking declaration? If you see it, please do it! We want to help him break the premiere RI single RI box office, break the first week box office record, break the single RI box office record, break the ...... All the records that can be broken will definitely help him to exceed the box office declaration of more than 500 million US dollars in the end. In conclusion, we are going to tell our dear Mike that he is not fighting alone! ”

……

Grand Hilton Hotel.

When Chen Xiaotang woke up in the morning, turned on the TV and saw the overwhelming discussion, he was stunned at first, and then the phone in the hotel rang.

The phone is Mike. Jackson called, and as soon as the king buddy opened his mouth, he burst into foul language, "Shit! What shit! These guys took the initiative to ask me what I wanted to be at the box office, and I said I'd be satisfied if it reached 500 million, but now, look at what they say? What does it mean to talk big, and what does it mean to be conceited? It's not just that they made it up casually! ”

Mike was so angry that he could be heard panting on the phone.

"Fortunately, my fans are interesting enough and support me strongly! Now, I'm going to show that shit that my Mike can not only sing, but act! ”

Chen Xiaotang didn't say a word when Mike was in prison, just took the microphone and listened quietly, until Mike was silent, and then asked, "Have you finished speaking?" ”

Mike: "It's over...... What does it mean? ”

Chen Xiaotang: "My meaning is very simple, tonight is the premiere, and we don't need to meet these short-sighted gossip reporters. As for the box office of this drama, as long as we do our best, it's OK! ”

The other end seemed to be silent for a moment, and then said, "Dear Chen, you can think about it." ”

Chen Xiaotang smiled: "It's not that I can think about it, but ...... Look at the TV now......"

Chen Xiaotang said, shifting his gaze to the TV.

At this time, the picture on the TV shifted to Hollywood's "Fox Theater", and I saw the camera sweeping. In addition to the towering heads, the scene is still densely packed with heads, and countless people are crowded. A scrawny reporter on the spot was scrambled and unable to stabilize his body at all, while more people gathered around the ticket office, all holding banknotes high and shouting "I want two tickets, I want two tickets!" ”

"Man, do you have two more? Hum. A total of 800 tickets were only on sale, and they were sold out three days ago, where do I still have tickets for you? The black conductor screamed in a hurry. The ticket hall was almost crowded by the fanatical fans on the scene.

And countless Los Angeles Jingcha are fully armed and ready for fear of doing something out of control.

The scene flashed back to the studio, and the white male host said with palpitations: "Oh, everyone's crazy, even though it's Sunday." But don't waste your time! Isn't it good to get a good night's sleep? ”

The hostess giggled and said, "This is the charm of a super idol." Who told you that the starring roles this time are the three Hollywood stars, not you? ”

"I ...... I'm not a movie actor. ”

As the two hosts teased each other, the TV screen also shifted from the "Fox Theater" to the major movie theaters in Los Angeles, and then, New York, Chicago, New Orleans, San Francisco and other areas all went around.

And the results didn't disappoint, with countless long queues waiting to buy tickets outside all the movie theaters, and most of them were dragged with their families. Among them, there are countless young men and women.

Of course. Action movie!

It is suitable for all ages, and the family carnival mode is inevitable, and it is inevitable that the box office will be gratifying.

Mike, the king on the other end of the phone, seemed to be shocked by the picture broadcast on TV, and it took a long time to remember that he was still talking to Chen Xiaotang.

What a waste of phone bills!

"Chen, these ...... Is it all true? ”

Although he knew that Mike couldn't see it, Chen Xiaotang still shrugged his shoulders, "You ask me, who do I ask." ”

"Oh my God, it's a miracle that so many people are grabbing tickets!"

"So, you Mike Heavenly King has a big face!" Chen Xiaotang quipped.

"Don't be sarcastic, who doesn't know that you are the protagonist of this play...... But I have a bottom in my heart, according to this fiery form, maybe our drama can really exceed 500 million! ”

"Lend you good words...... Otherwise, I'm going to go bankrupt! Chen Xiaotang joked.

"Don't worry, it's bankrupt, I'll raise you!" Mike laughed maniacally.

Chen Xiaotang: "......?!" ”

At this end, as soon as Chen Xiaotang hung up the phone, Madonna called again, no doubt because of the TV report. In Madonna's opinion, the prelude to this play is too hot, and I don't know what tonight's premiere will be.

What Chen Xiaotang can say, of course, is full of confidence, especially when it comes to Mike's big mouth of "500 million", both of them can't help laughing.

Just when Chen Xiaotang and Madonna and others were in contact with each other, the atmosphere of the entire Hollywood film industry had been completely ignited by the drama "League of Assassins".

It's a place where crowds surge.

A movie theater in Hollywood.

"I'm a Sky TV reporter and now I'm doing a live interview for you at Big Time Cinemas, the biggest movie theater in Los Angeles!" The black male reporter said that he found a young white woman with a red face holding a banknote in her hand, and asked politely, "May I ask this lady, can I interview you?" ”

"Oh? Interview me? Well, of course! The lady hurriedly put down the banknote, then cut her hair, and smiled charmingly: "Okay, you can start!" ”

"Okay!" The black reporter retracted his gaze and asked, "I wonder if you usually like to watch movies?" ”

"Of course!" The white young woman laughed, "As long as it's fake, then I'll definitely watch one or two movies, because it's a good way to relax, well, yes, I've developed this habit of relaxing." ”

"It's a commendable approach!" The black reporter snapped his ass, then asked, "So, I don't know what type of movie you like to watch the most?" ”

"I like historical films, ethical films, oh, and romance films too, like "Fake Ri in Rome"!" The white young woman smiled very comfortably, looked at the camera and said: "Originally, I didn't like action movies, I thought it was too bloody and violent, but because there are two big stars in the starring role, Rafite and Mike, as for Madonna, I don't like it very much, this girl is too sāo!" ”

It's too blunt.

It is understandable that different and xing are repulsive.

The black reporter looked a little embarrassed, coughed, and continued to ask, "Didn't your husband come along?" ”

"Here he is, but he's already squeezed inside." The white young woman shrugged her shoulders and made a helpless gesture, "You know, today's tickets are too hard to buy, after all, everyone has to go to work tomorrow." ”

"Well, yes, I understand the eagerness!" The black reporter stretched out his hand and shook the white young woman, "Thank you for accepting our TV interview, good luck, thank you!" ”

When the white young woman left, the reporter grabbed a pair of old men and women again, and said with a smile: "Hello, sir, madam! After saying hello, the black reporter immediately asked, "Do you two like to watch movies?" ”

"Well, it's okay!" The old man lacked a lot of teeth, and what he said was not very clear, and he didn't want to dump the reporter, but when he saw a swarthy camera shooting at him, he immediately smiled brightly, holding his wife by the hand, and said with a smile: "We usually read the newspaper at most, listen to the radio or watch TV, but today we finally walked to the door of the cinema again." ”

"Why?" The black reporter asked knowingly.

"To witness the birth of a great action movie, of course!" This time, the old woman spoke out first, and said with a kind face: "Don't look at us old, but when we were young, we all came out to mix~, you know, I have mixed!" He pursued me, once one? a>. Singled out more than 30 people, and almost lost their lives, hehe. So, I want to take a look at this action movie that everyone talks about all day long, whether it is jing or not, and whether the protagonist in it is more powerful than our old man! ”

"Well, I don't think I'll let you down." The black reporter said this on his lips, but in his heart he said disdainfully: "For you, one? a>. Men single-handedly thirty people? Do you think I'm a pig? Women love it so much, as if they are afraid that others will look down on them, shit, bragging, and not making drafts. ”

Bidding farewell to the two old men who love to brag, the black reporter asked some other fans of different ages, and finally came to the conclusion that they either prepared popcorn and came here to relax, or they came here to see the difference between Chen Xiaotang, Mike and Madonna's three-person acting. And there are some special ones, but they are actually ready to watch jokes, you know, Mike King and Madonna Queen are electrocuted for the first time, and the acting is smashed, so it's interesting.
