Chapter 228: Popularity and Status
After the release of "Biochemical Apocalypse", the super high box office caused great heated discussions.
"Chicago Sun" analysis said that the high box office and the 2012 World End Trend triggered in 2006 has a direct relationship, if it were not for the original end of the trend, it is estimated that the film will only be about 700 million US dollars at the box office, and called its success with "a strange and successful film marketing case in history".
And the small film newspaper "California Film Weekly" in the United States has a scrutinizing attitude: "The appearance of "Resident Apocalypse" can be said to be very coincidental, after the "Resident Apocalypse" movie was filmed, the word "Apocalypse" came out, causing panic around the world, and its source is said to be just a simple envelope. Before the release, countries around the world began to suppress the doomsday panic, and after the doomsday panic passed and changed from fear to interest, "Biochemical Apocalypse" came quietly very coincidentally, everything was very coincidental. Therefore, there is a lot of reason to believe that this is the conspiracy of this Chinese people. ”
After this information was announced, it quickly attracted the attention of a wide range of post-apocalyptic fans, but there were few responses.
Other newspapers did not hesitate to take advantage of this great opportunity to attract the attention of the audience: "Nonsense, it is said that the original letter was a record of a new way of dividing the Mayan calendar, and it is generally difficult to study this kind of calendar without advanced research on the Mayan civilization." Chinese? It is estimated that not a single person who has studied the Mayan civilization has not. "California Film Weekly" is grandstanding, and the identification is complete. ”
Subsequently, other newspapers followed suit and continued to criticize.
Poor California Movie Weekly was just trying to expand its popularity and sales, but it didn't expect to be attacked so much.
And the f**i of the United States did not consider awarding Wang Shang to the conspirator, but unfortunately nothing was found at all, and it is true that as most newspapers say, no one in China has studied the Mayan civilization at all.
In the end, all can only explain it all by coincidence.
But they all thought wrong, Wang Shang was actually a profiteer behind him.
Compared with the speculation about the end of the world, many North American entertainment media have paid attention to Wang Shang and Huaxia films.
The Los Angeles Times commented: "Chinese films are beginning to rise in a strange form, and the leader is Wang Shang, his talent is extremely amazing, his works include "Fast and Furious", which has created a box office miracle, and now this "Biochemical Apocalypse", which created the end of 2012 and biochemical flow, and the fiery "Death is Coming" is also his work!! ”
The American "Fortune" magazine used a page to analyze and report in detail: "Huaxia Tianwang Film and Television Company and his boss Wang Shang have been rising at a terrifying speed in the past few years, both wealth and influence are rising at a terrifying speed, not only have a lot of influence in China's domestic film rights, but also have a lot of popularity in the global film industry, with his youth and talent, he will be a world-class director in the future!! Let's wait and see!! ”
――――――――――
After "Biochemical Apocalypse" became a big hit, the biggest beneficiary was naturally the director of the movie, Wang Shang, whose reputation was a bit inadequate to describe the success with Wang Shang.
The previous "Death is Coming" could not give a deep impression to fans who were less exposed to Chinese movies, and Wang Shang could only be said to have a little fame in the professional circle of Hollywood in the United States at that time. However, for the Hollywood circle where there are many big directors, Wang Shang is just a director who can't be smaller, a naked newcomer, and he is still so young.
In terms of fans, it can basically be said that there are very few, and they are not as well-known as the actors, and they belong to the level of newcomers who only show their sharp corners in Xiaohe.
After "Fast and Furious" came out, this huge popcorn movie led the box office in some regions for a period of time, and also triggered a global crazy racing trend, which also drove the tourism economy of China's South China Sea Island, and greatly increased its international popularity. At that time, Wang Shang was like a junior high school student who got good grades, which made the teachers and elders look sideways. But there is still a long way to go from the elders and teachers.
At this time, fans have a certain understanding of Wang Shang, and they can be regarded as changing from emerging to famous.
At this time, after the appearance of "Biochemical Apocalypse", it finally won the recognition of the majority of insiders, and felt that it was okay to compete with well-known Hollywood directors. In terms of fans, at this time, it can be said that he has been famous from a small to a famous person.
However, we still need to continue to work hard, and there will be fame, fame, fame, and fame all over the world.
The level is still far away, Wang Shang needs to continue to fight monsters, do tasks, accumulate experience and continue to upgrade.
In addition to Wang Shang, the other two main characters are also skyrocketing in popularity, one is Liu Dehua who plays Liu Hua, who is constantly struggling in the last days. After looking forward to it for many years, Liu Dehua finally successfully landed in Hollywood this time and gathered tens of millions of fans around the world.
In terms of the international star level, a special agency has deliberately readjusted his level, although it is still level 18, but he has been placed in front of Cheng Long and Li Nianjie. In the past two years, Cheng Long and Li Nianjie have almost faded out of Hollywood and retreated to China, so the star rating coefficient has decreased slightly.
The increase in international popularity, the first thing to rise is naturally Liu Tianwang's worth, the agency has directly increased his salary by 20%, and other things such as appearance fees have followed with a lot of increases. With the rising tide, it is Liu Dehua's own company that is estimated to be even higher.
What makes Liu Tianwang even happier is that he appeared in the United States several times during this time, and he was besieged by American fans, which he couldn't enjoy at all before. And many Hollywood film companies have invited him, hoping to join the film shooting and use the wind of "Biochemical Apocalypse" to increase the publicity of their films. For the low value of Chinese actors, American film companies still like it very much.
Liu Tianwang knew who brought him this kind of treatment, so Wang Shang, the person who gave him the opportunity, naturally shouted to invite Wang Shang's family to dinner in return for his help.
In addition to Liu Dehua, another beneficiary is Hollywood actor Robert Downey Jr.
Robert Downey Jr. can now be said to be proud of the spring breeze in the United States, and he has seen all the "American" flowers.
Since the global hit of "Biochemical Apocalypse", the important role he played as a mad scientist can be said to have become a household name.
"It's a tech nerd!!"
"Tech enthusiasts!!"
"A crazy science lover, in his eyes, only science, emotional intelligence is not important to him!!"
The female surname of Dafa with the mother's surname said of him: "It's like a child, although it's crazy, but it's very lovely!" ”
And in the comments on him in the film media, it has also begun to change from a negative satire of a drunkard and addict to a naked boast.
"Little Robert. Downey went from an addict to a successful actor in ten years. In addition to strength and luck, one's own surname is the decisive force that dominates all directions. When he came out of the nine-month prison under everyone's eyes, everyone thought that he would live the rest of his life honestly, and who knew that he would step into Hollywood again not long after. Now, just when the whole world is about to forget about him, little Robert. Donnie, this "[***] type" hero actually fought his way out. ”
"Glad little Robert. Downey was able to rise again, it was a man's salvation, a man's struggle. We congratulate him!! We continue to look forward to his next film!! ”
Compared with Liu Dehua's report, the American Film Newspaper can be said to be as little as possible, especially Liu Dehua only has a few small newspapers and a small page to report. And the coverage of Robert Downey Jr. can be described as a hype and a lot of praise.
And then Robert Jr. Donnie is uninhibited, but he still has great respect for Wang Shang: "Mr. Wang is my best friend, and it was his persuasion that made me quit drug addiction ruthlessly." Thanks to him for not disliking me and promoting me to play the main role. ”
This kind of humble and grateful character also makes many insiders nod secretly...... (To be continued.) )
