Chapter 167: Slap in the face
After buffering, the video starts playing......
The video was pitch black, with only subtitles, and a pure New York accent: "Judging Hua Qiang. Nicholas, sentenced to twenty-five years in prison and imprisoned at Lombok's high-security prison without the possibility of early parole......"
If it weren't for the subtitles, Zhang Qiang and his wife might not be able to understand these words of English for a while.
What caught my eye was a prisoner, extremely strong, bald, and dressed in a prisoner's prison uniform......
The two quickly recognized: "It's Yang Gang!" His name in the movie is Hua Qiang. Nicholas ......"
Then a group of American prisoners, with some policemen in between, all boarded a bus, and Hua Qiang was in this group of prisoners......
The camera changes to a huge bus traveling down a remote and deserted road, and on the bus, a truckload of prisoners in prisoner uniforms is seated, apparently preparing to transport the prisoners to the Lomboc Supreme Security Prison.
"The protagonist Hua Qiang is a prisoner, is he robbing the prison here?" Just as they were thinking, there was a roar of eardrums in the speakers. Pure, natural, and full of impact, the two of them went blank in their minds.
With this sound, three sports cars appear in the video and rush forward at a breakneck speed to catch up with the bus.
"It's coming!!" Zhang Qiang and his wife didn't even dare to breathe at this moment, for fear of missing the camera.
As they expected, two of the sports cars began to accelerate and rushed to the front of the bus......
One of the sports cars, driven by a beautiful Chinese woman, made a beautiful drift U-turn in an instant, and then rushed straight to the bus face to face.
The bus driver quickly twisted the steering wheel and changed lanes. Constant emergency call for rescue!!
Another sports car, driven by a foreigner, instantly followed the bus and perfectly stuck in the front left wheel position of the bus with a beautiful drift when the bus hit the right steering wheel and the body was offset.
"Knock !!"
The bus instantly flew to the left, over the sports car......
"Boom !!" It fell onto the road with a thud and kept rolling. Fragments of iron sheet and glass were scattered, and finally rolled out more than ten meters away, becoming a pile of scrap iron......
"Oh my God, I'm not dreaming, am I?" The couple pinched each other's thighs stupidly, and couldn't believe that there would be such a wonderful picture.
The next few tens of seconds were all about the car accident reported by various TV stations in the United States......
"Lompok's prison car accident is a tragic aftermath of a rampant prison escape during the day. There were a total of 26 felons in the car. At present, all of them have been brought to justice, except for Hua Qiang. Nicholas ......"
"The police have determined that it was a well-planned accident that did not result in any casualties......
"Today the United States is destined to be disturbed by these three fugitives......"
After watching the whole trailer. The two looked at each other. They all saw shock in each other's eyes!
"Awesome!!"
It's not just the two of them who are exclaiming. At this time, hundreds of thousands of fans, filmmakers, and media reporters in the entire China have watched this trailer, in addition to being shocked!!
"Although the trailer is only two minutes, but. I think it's really awesome!! β
"Sure enough, I smashed a bus directly, why am I so happy?"
"Three expensive sports cars, I really love them!!"
The next day, major entertainment newspapers reported on the trailer for last night's "Fast and Furious".
"The trailer made my heart beat faster, especially the scene where the bus flew over, which made my blood boil! One word - cool !! β
Wang Shang's eyes are still sharp, when everyone's eyes are only focused on racing and love, Wang Shang has already set his sights on the larger market - prison robbery, escape, police and bandits. Moreover, Wang Shang also replaced one of the protagonists with an American actor, and arranged the prisoner as a Chinese, which was obviously easier to please the North American audience. For the study of Hollywood, Wang Shang has gone ahead of most people! β
"Compared to the trailer of "Fast and Furious", all the racing movies on the market now are scum, three expensive sports cars are eye-catching, and the awesome drifting technology makes people's blood boil. What's more, the title alone smashed a bus worth more than 1 million, is there anything more generous than this? I'm afraid there is only the bombed plane in "Death 1"! β
"Engage in competitions? Drifting? That's what Wang Shang is left over, and now Wang Shang directly relies on driving skills to rob prison!! β
"Whether it's creativity, heroism or Hollywood fit, "Fast and Furious" can "The Legend of the Car God" n streets, I originally thought it was very good when I watched "The Legend of the Car God", but now when I look at the trailer of "Fast and Furious", "The Legend of the Car God" is simply frustrated! I don't want to watch it a second time now!! β
Wang Shang claimed on his blog that this film is just an appetizer, and there are many dinners, which is guaranteed to make the audience feel refreshed! hight to burst!! β
The media made a U-turn and began to express their admiration for "Fast and Furious", and also tried to disparage "The Legend of the Car God". They seem to have forgotten that just some time ago, they continued to sing praises to "The Legend of the Car God" and stomped on "Fast and Furious".
When the king fans saw these entertainment trends, they were naturally beaming, and they felt as if they had won the battle.
Countless fans think it's good because there is no good movie compared to "The Legend of the Car God", and now as soon as the trailer of "Fast and Furious" comes out, they immediately feel that it is unbearable......
"I don't want to watch it a second time......"
On the mtime website, the score of "The Legend of the Car God" has dropped from 9.0 to 8.0 in less than a day, and there is a downward trend.
Sometimes it's really like shopping around......
And Southeast Film and Television Group is still not giving up in the face of many negative sieges at this time: "What can the trailer say? And "The Legend of the Car God" has not yet entered North America for final verification! What if it catches fire? β
Indeed, as the Southeast Film and Television Group said, what if it becomes popular?
Achievements are the best way to test success, so Southeast Film and Television Group is eagerly looking forward to the success of "The Legend of the Car God" in North America, and then slap the faces of these media without the slightest principle and those fans of "Fast and Furious", and more importantly, hope to be able to slap the face of the extremely arrogant young man Wang Shang!!
However, they are also worried that this movie was not expected to achieve such an achievement when it was first made, so it did not cater to Hollywood's tastes at all.
On July 8, "The Legend of the Car God" officially landed in the North American film market.
On the first day of its release, the racing theme really attracted a group of young people: "Racing movies? A bit of freshness......"
After they went in to watch it with curiosity, the first thought the dubbing was okay, the second was just the car, the third was the average plot, and then the fourth ...... This is simply incomprehensible......
Soon the rating on IMDB, the largest movie database, came out, 6.5, and it keeps falling. Some people think it's good, but more people think it's inexplicable, and many don't understand it.
Hollywood also has several racing movies, so the clichΓ© "Legend of the Car God" is not very attractive, and in less than a few days, it was 'obscure', and the box office was as dismal as Wang Shang predicted.
And major North American theaters have also begun to release it, and there are still many movies that hit the summer schedule (late May to September 4) waiting to be released, so naturally this movie will not waste the cinema screen.
When the news reached China, it immediately caused the unscrupulous media to gloat.
"The Legend of the Car God suffered a Waterloo ...... in Hollywood"
"The Legend ......of the Car God is completely unsuitable"
"Ten days of release, less than 300 million box office, even the sharing of publicity costs is not enough ......"
The Southeast Film and Television Group, which was originally sharpening its knives, immediately fell from a bull to a fool, and no longer dared to shout, at most it could only squeak weakly: "At least in China, Southeast Asia, Japan and South Korea, it has achieved a high box office." β
Thanks to the Chinese circle in North America, the trailer of "Fast and Furious" also began to spread in North America, conquering countless people with its shocking scenes, and then spread more and more, causing countless North American fans to exclaim.
"What movie? Am I looking dazzled? I saw three rare and expensive sports cars!! β
"Isn't that driving the car Brian from 'You from Alien'? It's so handsome that I drove the roof of the car to hit the bus, and I managed to fly the bus out of the roof!! β
"Awesome! This technology, this smashing car, I can see my blood boiling!! β
"This may become one of the top 10 awesome prison robbery plots in the movie!!"
"Are there any other clips?" They were already desperate to see other movie clips, but they were disappointed to look closely, and the movie was only available on the Internet with this trailer.
Only then did they discover that the movie trailer that made them addicted to it turned out to be a movie shot by Huaxia!!
"No, I thought it was a Hollywood movie? The original taste of Hollywood! That authentic American accent is never fake. β
"Director Wang Shang? Tianwang Studio? seems to be a little familiar...... "When they checked, they found out that Wang Shang was the director/screenwriter of "Death is Coming 1", and Tianwang Studio turned out to be the production company of the "Death is Coming" series.
"The producer who can make the "Death is Coming" series of movies should not make this good movie bad." They have already started the release of "Fast and Furious".
"It's a pity that it won't take at least another 5 months to see his true face......
When Wang Shang learned that the trailer of "Fast and Furious" had become well-known and had fans in North America, he was also stunned.
It's really unintentional.......
