"In less than a month, Shao Shuaijun has come to Southeast Asia to grab money again!"

The headline, which appeared to be about a robber, was in fact a box office sensation in Thailand's large-circulation newspaper, Tayat That Ratchasima, which reported on the release of the skin in Southeast Asia. "33 Days of Broken Love" relied on a fresh atmosphere, and in April, it swept in Southeast Asia, Japan and South Korea and other countries, at least swept away more than 100 million box office, becoming another feast for dream chasing companies.

It's only been less than a month, and "Painted Skin" has blown another strong wind, landing on May 7, and immediately set off a huge wave of movie-watching. In Singapore, Thailand and other places, it has repeatedly hit new highs, although it has not refreshed the local film history record, but it also firmly occupies the weekly box office championship.

"Mission Impossible 3" was released two days ahead of schedule and "Painted Skin" was supposed to compete between the two powers, but "Poseidon" was also released ahead of schedule, and the first round of storms began in six Southeast Asian countries on May 11.

This is known as the largest shipwreck film in history, an epic disaster film with a cost of more than $160 million, and "Poseidon", which wants to surpass the Titanic, but it shocked the eyes of the ground in just two days. Warner Bros., the distributor of the film, claimed to sail to Southeast Asia with "Poseidon", but not only did it not beat "Painted Skin", but even failed to surpass "Mission Impossible 3" in the second week of release at the box office in some regions.

Only in Malaysia, "Painted Skin" lost to "Poseidon" and was relegated to second place with a narrow loss. But this is not the failure of "Painted Skin", but the discrimination of "Painted Skin" by the Malaysian government. In view of the recent growing friction between the two parties, UMNO and MCA, the atmosphere between Malays and Malay-Chinese is also becoming more and more unfriendly. The Malays broke out in a boycott of Painted Skin.

If it weren't for the fact that the Malay-Chinese were more wealthy and went to the cinema to support, "Painted Skin" might not even be the runner-up.

In this regard, the "Star", which is controlled by MCA, published a criticism: "Conservatism and xenophobia are not the factors of Malaysia's progress, the excellence of "Painted Skin" belongs to the world and every Malaysian, and blind boycott is a short-sighted act, which will lead to the decline of movies in Peninsular Malaysia!" ”

The New Straits Times, which is controlled by Umno, published a statement by Umno leader Hisan Muding: "Whoever opposes the Malay rulers is infringing on Malaysia's national interests. It doesn't matter if it's a movie or a business! The article is also accompanied by his arrogant appearance of holding a Malay short sword.

"Umno's blindness. Eventually, it will lead to the re-enactment of the May 13 incident, and the Chinese are also Malaysians! UMNO is perverse! Sin Chew Daily, a Malaysian Chinese newspaper, was similarly strongly worded.

With these political factors, "Painted Skin" is still glorious in Malaysia, and the Chinese account for only 25% of the Malaysian population. supported "Painted Skin" and only lost by a narrow margin. It can be seen that a large number of people does not necessarily work. Sometimes you have a lot of money. There are a lot of Malays, but there are few who are willing to spend money to watch movies!

Three blockbusters, fighting to the death in Southeast Asia, are not completely estimated. "Painted Skin" has almost won 40 million yuan at the box office in several Southeast Asian countries, while "Mission Impossible 3" is roughly estimated to be 36 million yuan, and it has lost another game since Japan and South Korea.

The highly anticipated "Poseidon", which only received 4.4 million in two days over the weekend, lower than the 16 million of "Painted Skin" and the 14 million of "Mission Impossible 3".

"While we would have liked it to be a little stronger, it's too early to estimate its prospects." Warner Bros. Head of Publications Dan Brown. Fellman refused to admit the failure of "Poseidon".

"Southeast Asia is our traditional market for Chinese-language films, and here, Hollywood blockbusters have to keep their heads down!" Although Huayi Brothers and Warner Bros. have similar names, they do not hesitate to be ironic, Wang Zhongjun said in the face of reporters asked by reporters how he felt about "Painted Skin" winning the multi-place weekly championship.

At the end, Wang Zhongjun said: "Not only in Southeast Asia, but also in the North American market, it is also the time for Chinese blockbusters to sing!" ”

As Wang Zhonglei said, Chinese films in the Asian market often stage high box office, but the real attention of the world is the box office war in North America. Successful films in North America have basically succeeded all over the world, and whether you are convinced or not, North America is the vane of film sales.

If "Painted Skin" wants to have an attempt in Europe, and even the lifting of the ban on "Source Code", it needs to be proved in the United States in order to impress European publishers and pressure the government to introduce it!

……

Last Sunday, the box office of 7.5 million for "Painted Skin" was very amazing, "Mission Impossible 3" was unsatisfactory but it was still a blockbuster, and "Poseidon" could kill the box office of a blockbuster in seconds just for the production fee, these three movies came together and attracted countless attention.

It can be said that the world is watching the three-day weekend from May 12 to May 14 in the United States.

It's a world war!

""Mission Impossible 3" scandalizes China, and I look forward to the North American abuse of "Painted Skin"!" There is already a fuzzy pirated version of "Mission Impossible 3" on the Chinese Internet, and because "Mission Impossible 3" was originally taken from China, netizens who paid close attention to it suddenly found that this movie was very problematic.

In the movie Tom. Cruise's first shot into the magic city is a bird jumping on top of a birdcage; From the window of Xipu's house, you can see the high-rise buildings in Dongpu, in which the camera glides over the clothes and pants drying on the balcony; a nervous car chase on a bustling Nanjing road; In Xitang, Cruise was looking for his beloved wife, and when he pushed the door, he saw a group of elderly people playing mahjong and so on.

These shots are clearly to scandalize China's image.

Netizens who suddenly felt deceived were powerless to retaliate, so they could only vent their anger on the Internet, pinning their hopes on "Painted Skin" and killing "Mission Impossible 3" again......

"This weekend, I finally had the feeling of lack of time for the first time, well, I didn't watch "Mission Impossible 3" last week, so let's arrange it on Friday, I didn't watch "Painted Skin", so let's arrange it on Saturday, "Poseidon" can only be left for Sunday! The big production week of the East and the West, magic, action, and disaster three flavors, wow, I think I have written a movie review. ”

One of only thirty or so top film critics on Rotten Tomatoes, Roger. Ebert wrote a journal entry on his blog. He is one of the most famous big mouths in the United States, and he is often invited to comment on the pre-Oscars show "Oscar Night: Guest Entry" and the post-awards show "Oscar Night: Winners".

Roger's attitude almost represents the attitude of most American audiences, and the three blockbusters are all so exciting. "Mission Impossible 3" has Tom's popularity appeal and the reputation of the two previous works, and "Poseidon" has sky-high production fees and is full of momentum. "Painted Skin" is not nothing, the Chinese in the United States are all running to tell each other and meet to go to the cinema to support "Painted Skin"!

World war, on the verge of breaking out! (To be continued......)

PS: To clarify, UMNO is the largest political party in Malaysia, most of them are Malays, and they have always been anti-Chinese. MCA is the second largest political party in Malaysia, and most of them are Malaysian-Chinese. Malaysian Chinese are too rich, and Malays are very jealous...... Singapore was expelled from the federation by Malaysia because there were too many Chinese......

Of course, this has little to do with this book, and everyone will be happy to read it......
