Chapter 258: A work of peak word-of-mouth

Zhou Shaoming staged a masterpiece of "Detective" with the contest between police and bandits in the context of Hong Kong, after the premiere in North America was unanimously praised!

At the same time, this movie released worldwide has also made a lot of comments in the Chinese film market!

The ending of the film seems to be not suitable for the taste of Chinese audiences! When some viewers see such an ending, they can't help but ask: "The plot is too coincidental, isn't it?" "Maybe this movie should end after the death of the protagonist Chen Guibin! This may bring more imagination to the audience!

Indeed, Zhou Shaoming also considered the ending of the film! However, in Zhou Shaoming's view, the visual effect of this film presented to the audience with He Jia'an's arrest at the end is even stronger!

Holding any fluke mentality will eventually be punished to a certain extent, which is also the artistic conception that Zhou Shaoming wants to express to the audience in the end! This artistic conception doesn't need too many viewers to guess! When you see the end of the film, the audience's hearts are naturally clear!

With the world premiere of this detective movie, since the film was shot in Hong Kong, reports about the detective movie also appeared in magazines during the filming!

For a big-name Hollywood director to come to Hong Kong to shoot a movie, it will indeed cause a lot of sensation! It is also because of this that the box office performance of the Hong Kong premiere reached 35 million Hong Kong dollars, which may be pediatric compared to North America, but in terms of local box office results in Hong Kong! An amazing box office stat indeed!

With the shrinking of Hong Kong's film market in recent years, there are few films that have achieved so many box office results! Even the movies of the Infernal Affairs series released locally are only 30 million box office results!

At the time of the premiere, more Hong Kong people came to the entrance of the theater to queue up, and most of them were young students! For this movie! Many viewers who have seen such a movie can't help but sigh!

Movies from Hollywood are so different from local films! Just the gorgeous fighting effects in the movie have already made the audience speechless!

"Director Smith Chow once again dedicates us to a film in the context of Hong Kong, albeit for this film. I look very struggling, I always have to spend a lot of effort to think about the complex inside, after watching it once, this movie still doesn't fully understand, but this is also the charm of this movie, it makes me constantly in my spare time, I will think of the complex in the movie! What an unforgettable movie! Netizen A Ling said!

In Hong Kong, the audience has some emotions, and they must be released around the world when this movie is behind Hong Kong. A great honor for this little big city!

In the past few years, Zhou Shaoming has frequently brought his own movies to the Chinese film market, not only in Hong Kong, but also in other places, and has begun to gather popularity!

As soon as the detective movie was released, the effect was seen! Whether it is Hong Kong, the mainland, or even Taiwan, groups of people in the theater come to the theater. Just to see the premiere of this movie!

"Twilight has seen it, it was released by Director Smith Chow, and now Director Smith Chow has come to Taiwan again with the movie Detective!" For audiences in Taiwan, they are already familiar with Zhou Shaoming, a Hollywood director!

"An excellent police officer. Because of his talent, he gradually began to friction with his surroundings, which led to a tragedy! When we see the character of the characters in the film, we often think of it. Maybe it's happening to people around us all the time! This movie easily brings us into reality, seeing more from the movie that we usually ignore, for a movie like this. What else could we ask for? Taiwan Liberty Times

"Director Smith Chow has once again swept the Asian film market with his detective works, is there really no director who can compete with it? At least now, I don't see any director in Asia who is as talented as Director Smith Chow! Whether he is shooting a thriller movie, a movie with a grand scene, or a lingering romance movie, he is full of praise! Even if you shoot some heavy-tasting literary films, after watching them, not only do you not have a boring complex, but also make people feel shocked! This work is the pinnacle of Smith Chow, skillfully combining environment and humanity! From the day of its premiere, this film has been recognized by global media audiences! For such a movie, we can only comment in one word! Club! Asia Times

Although the detective movie did not have a consistent good reputation in the Chinese film market, and some viewers complained that the ending was too ideal, but because the movie itself has strong reasoning, this movie quickly became a topic of conversation in people's mouths!

Whether it is the strong star lineup in the movie, Jackie Chan, Andy Lau, Fan Bingbing, Wu Jing, Avril Lavigne, Jim Carrey and other well-known big-name stars in the minds of the Chinese people, or in terms of the scale of the movie, a Hollywood blockbuster released worldwide!

All of them made the audience endless! From the beginning of the movie, the bloody scene of Chen Guibin cutting off his ears, to the heroic sacrifice of Chen Guibin and the arrest of He Jia'an in the end, made the audience watch it heartily!

"Smith Chow's unique perspective on human nature! Let the audience see more things that many of us can't see in the process of enjoying the movie! Perhaps it is also because of this kind of talk of humanity that this movie quickly became popular around the world! Globally recognized! "People's Daily

"Whether it's the movie's strong star cast or the gorgeous action scenes, I can't forget the charm of this movie, and whenever I don't understand something, I can recall the clips in the film until I figure it out! It's the most in-depth movie I've ever seen, but it's not boring! Netizen Kenshin

China's film market is quietly changing, and as more audiences enter the theater, the once glorious film kingdom seems to be rising again!

As Hollywood blockbusters have entered the Chinese film market, they have also begun to promote the reform of the Chinese film market!

When many North American film and television giants saw the profits of the Chinese film market, how could they not be moved! But when they found out, Zhou Shaoming had already become one of the directors recognized by the Chinese audience, and it was a guarantee of box office performance in the Chinese film market!

And the movies produced by Supernova Entertainment Film and Television Company have also become a guarantee of quality! Whether it is "Fuse" and "Untouchable", which began to be released around the world, to such movies such as "Twilight" and "Detective", they have all become the audience's favorite works!

Although there is no step of the work, it can be recognized and praised by everyone. But overall, most viewers who have watched these movies are moved!

Gradually, the brands of Zhou Shaoming and Supernova Entertainment Film and Television have started in the Chinese film market!

"Zhou, I'm here to ask you for someone this time!" As Tesla Ben entered Zhou Shaoming's office, he came to Zhou Shaoming's Tesla Ben and said jokingly!

Zhou Shaoming was stunned, looking at Tesla's expression, although it was a joke, but it seemed to be serious! "Who do you want?"

"Bell, this actor!" Tesla said straight to the point!

Zhou Shaoming hesitated and said, "But Bell hasn't become an actor under our company after all." ”

Tesla Ben responded: "That's exactly because of it. So I hope you can get George's side to hurry, I have a fancy on this actor and hope that he will star in the next movie! ”

Zhou Shaoming frowned, and said with some surprise: "Hasn't the filming of Batman started yet?" Zhou Shaoming was a little surprised, as Supernova Entertainment Film and Television Company obtained this script, it was handed over to Tesla for filming!

When Zhou Shaoming participated in the Oscars, this matter had already been decided! Although Tesla had to prepare a lot of work, it wouldn't have been two months before he was looking for actors!

Tesla said with a smile on his face: "The other actors have been found." When I saw Bell play the role of detective yesterday, I decided to change the role temporarily, so I hope our company can cooperate with me! ”

Batman is also a movie adapted from a comic book. For a movie like this, Supernova Entertainment Film and Television Company has always given too many starring positions to the company's actors! Originally, for movies with box office guarantees, Supernova Entertainment did not have to take risks. Then start the other actors!

Zhou Shaoming pondered for a moment and responded: "However, even if Bell is signed by our company. Become an actor under our company, and he will also do post-release publicity for the movie Detective, when will you start filming Batman! ”

Tesla Ben finally said the real purpose, and said: "Batman has been preparing for a long time, whether it is a photographer, a makeup artist, etc., these staff are in place, and the actors have been negotiated, but they have not been looking for a satisfactory starring actor!" It wasn't until I saw the release of the detective work yesterday that I found out about Bell in the movie! ”

Zhou Shaoming took a deep breath, pointed at Tesla, and said with a smile: "Come and dig my corner." ”

Tesla said a little wronged: "I also want to make a good movie, I don't know your side!" After all, in Supernova Entertainment Film and Television Company, Zhou Shaoming is the one who calls the shots, and in the face of Bell's actors, Tesla likes it very much! Batman is a good series of movie titles!

Compared to the Hulk, Batman has a greater impact and is more well-known to American audiences! So during the filming, the pressure around Tesla Ben was really not light!

Zhou Shaoming nodded and said, "Okay, here I will let Benjamin contact with Bell, you can contact Bell first and see what he thinks!" As for the propaganda part of the detective, I'll do something else! ”

This time, Tesla was supposed to come over to let it, but Zhou Shaoming didn't expect it at all, when the Detective movie premiered, it just got off to a good start in the world! If it is possible, Zhou Shaoming hopes to bring the all-star lineup to do a world-class promotion!

Although the work of Detective is a suspense film with a Hong Kong background, when Zhou Shaoming shows his humanity in front of everyone from a unique perspective, it makes people sigh at the talent of director Zhou Shaoming! After the world premiere, it was recognized by everyone!

Ghosts, a product with oriental charm, are accepted by people all over the world in this movie! What is accepted is not the existence of ghosts, but the recognition of human nature such as greed, lust, violence, cowardice and cowardice in people's minds!

Just like the movie "Twilight", which became popular all over the world not long ago, vampires and wolves, which are products of the West, have been recognized by everyone after the charm of the movie and integrated into love!

This movie has more connotation than Twilight! Love is in contact with everyone every day, and they are all touching! And so is the humanity of the detective! So it doesn't matter what the product is in the movie! When people are in contact with something, Zhou Shaoming expressed it in a unique way. Regardless of borders and some fields, it has gradually become a good-looking movie for global viewers!

On April 1st, there was also a movie "Sin City" released in North America, just one day later, in terms of box office results, although the movie Detective had a box office score of 31 million, it was two million more than the box office score of more than 29 million for the premiere box office of Sin City!

But for the word-of-mouth of the movie, the detective's work has become Zhou Shaoming's pinnacle work since he filmed the movie!

Not only the media, but also film critics. The audience, in the North American market, is endless!

"As Smith Chow shoots more and more works with rich connotations, this detective film will become the pinnacle of director Smith Chow, with a clean and neat plot, creative ghost quotes, and skillful connections in the film, making this film one of the classic movies of this year!" Hollywood film critic Johnson

For the detective, this work has been praised like never before. The box office results are not lost to the box office results of any movie during this period, making the Detective a hotly discussed movie in North America when it premiered!

"When director Smith Chow introduced this charming movie to the world, the audience enjoyed a very meaningful movie! For such a movie. We should give too much publicity to make this kind of movie go to more audiences! , don't let those movies full of violence monopolize the audience's attention. Become a bad movie that affects the hearts of the audience! New York critic Jack

Since Zhou Shaoming filmed the movie, the detective movie has achieved more eye-catching praise after its premiere. It is also because of this that Zhou Shaoming has once again become the object of media attention!

The young Oscar winner, a Chinese-American Hollywood gold medal director, slowly began to build an array of Zhou Shaoming's film and television kingdoms in North America!

As Zhou Shaoming continues to shoot many unforgettable movies, whether it is in North America or around the world, Zhou Shaoming, a genius director, has a deep memory!

At present, in addition to Zhou Shaoming's concern about the movie Detective, Zhou Shaoming also began to plan to take advantage of the fact that this movie can have such a high reputation, and take the protagonists in the film, from North America to Asia, to have a super-large-scale publicity!

However, due to the tight time, Zhou Shaoming plans to divide it into two parts, North America led by himself Bel Avril and others, and Asia can be composed of Andy Lau, Jackie Chan and others, but with Tesla going to Bell to play the starring role of Batman, Zhou Shaoming exhaled deeply, it seems that this publicity plan has changed!

"Avril's little woman, Bell's heroism, Jim Carrey's righteous image, detective works have brought us too many surprises, looking back on Zhou Shaoming's filming, he has gradually integrated more things into the movie, and more elements have been displayed, so that the people who watch the movies filmed by Director Smith Zhou are becoming more and more diversified, as if we have once again seen Smith Zhou can once again be on the stage of the Oscar for Best Director!" The Chicago Reader

"31 million box office results, Zhou, I don't know how many box office results the detective will achieve on the second day of release?" When Tesla Ben left, Zhou Shaoming asked Benjamin to tell him about it and called George!

But after George came to the office, he always remembered the box office results of the detective movie for Zhou Shaoming!

Zhou Shaoming sighed and said: "The box office result is only more than 30 million, compared to Sin City, other people's movies also have a box office result of nearly 30 million in the first release, I think the box office results of this movie are not as optimistic as you!" ”

George couldn't help but snort and said lightly: "How can that kind of movie be compared to our detective movie!" You must know that after this premiere, the difference in word-of-mouth between the two-step movies is really too great!

For the box office results of the film, the difference may not be very big, but in terms of the word-of-mouth of the film, the work of Detective is more influential!

At least this movie will successfully interpret human nature and be unanimously recognized by the audience and the media! In this context, Zhou Shaoming and George are very clear that although the box office results of the premiere are similar to those of Sin City! But with the later development, I believe that the work of Detective is much better than Sin City!

During the premiere, if Sin City can reach a box office score of close to 30 million, then the movie can only reach a box office score of hundreds of millions at most!

But the work of Detective is different, with such high praise, Zhou Shaoming believes that with more publicity in the later stage and the influence of word-of-mouth, there should be no problem with the box office results of hundreds of millions of Detective movies in North America! "George, I called you over to tell you that there may be a change in the Detective's publicity plan in the later stage!" Zhou Shaoming cut to the point and said to George!

George was stunned for a moment and said, "What's wrong?" “

Zhou Shaoming said truthfully: "Tesla filmed the Batman series of movies and took a fancy to Bell, so if the protagonist of the detective movie can't be promoted for the time being, I think the later publicity of this work will be more low-key." (To be continued......)
