Chapter 200: A Prelude to a Wave of Praise
When the movie ended, many fans began to leave.
However, none of these guys really know Chen Xi: after all, they are overseas!
The overseas popularity of Chinese films is actually okay, but there are only a few Chinese directors and Chinese stars who really have the popularity of Chinese movies......
actors, Cheng Long, Li Lianjie, Zhang Ziyi, Gong Li, Zhen Zaidan, Chow Yun-fat, the directors are mainly Zhang Yimou, Stephen Chow, Chen Kaige, etc...... Of course, this means that in North America, if you count Cannes, there will be many more actors and directors.
Chen Xi is a nobody, his popularity in China is little by little, step by step, slowly, and hard to rise, not to mention his current popularity overseas.
But those who watched "The Raid" and were surprised by it, at least they remembered the name Chen Xi!
Even if you refer to him simply as "Chen", you can remember it.
"It looks good!"
After everyone gradually withdrew, Wu Jing looked at Chen Xi and said with a little emotion.
Chen Xi also smiled slightly, at this moment, he still didn't show too much emotion, it seemed that he had already settled down as an old monk, and he had the style of a general, of course, in fact, the tension in his heart just now, only he could know it, and he could feel that kind of sadness and worry.
But anyway, this movie, so far, is indeed good.
Pretty good!
Chen Xi and Wu Jing walked outside, even now, Chen Xi was still not recognized. But Wu Jing was recognized by a few fans who had just watched "The Raid".
"Hey, are you that Wu?" (Wu Jing's character in the movie is surnamed Wu).
Wu Jing also smiled when she saw that she was recognized: "Hello." "Of course he can speak and translate this simple English.
"We love your performance, come on!" The blonde foreigner who just greeted Wu Jing. At this moment, he said with a smile: "I'm going to go to the cinema to watch 'The Raid', I mean, of course, if this movie is going to be released in theaters in North America." β
Chen Xi said on the side: "Don't worry, buddy, we will release it!" β
This blonde foreigner saw Chen Xi's appearance and pondered in his heart: "Hey, man, I know you must have something to do with "The Raid". But I haven't seen you in the movies, so. Let me guess, I think you might be the director? β
Chen Xi snorted.
Suddenly, this old man came out with greater enthusiasm than when he saw Wu Jing: "Dude, this is amazing!" Movies like "The Raid"! We need it very much. You changed my impression of Chinese Kung Fu. β
When he said this, he also made a Bruce Lee movement: "I always thought that the biggest feature of Chinese kung fu now is the feeling in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"...... I really didn't expect you to give us a bigger surprise! Dude, you really have to come on! Because we need films like this! β
Feeling the sincere love of this fan, Chen Xi's heart is also very happy, this kind of feeling that foreigners like is really good!
However, Chen Xi is also relatively reserved now, quite a bit of an international director, he nodded and said, "Thank you." Thank you for your appreciation, and I'm sure this Raid is just the beginning for us! I've always thought that Chinese Kung Fu has a variety of possibilities. And that's just one of them! β
This fan didn't mean to entangle Chen Xi, but someone around them heard their conversation, and it spread ten to hundred, and soon, Chen Xi and they were surrounded.
"Director, we want to know something. Is the real combat effect of Chinese kung fu in "The Raid"? That's cool! I think I need your Jianyì, should I go to the martial arts gym to learn Chinese kung fu? "Some people have even opened their minds to such a big point. However, at the beginning, it was all because of everyone's surprise and shock at this movie!
Chen Xi felt a little unbearable in the face of the people who were getting more and more people with their brains open, and there were many people who took pictures of him.
In this era, Apple has begun to appear, and in the eyes of everyone, it shows its shocking side, and is considered an invention that changed the mobile phone industry. However, the penetration rate of Apple and smartphones is not high now, but mobile phone pixels, especially mobile phones and ducks, have developed very well, so many people have begun to get used to taking pictures with mobile phones, and they also like the environment in front of them.
Chen Xi soon tasted the side effects of the initial spread of his fame overseas, and now he even felt a little like crying without tears, because the guys around him were so enthusiastic.
β¦β¦ By the time Chen Xi and them broke out of the encirclement, it was already three o'clock in the morning, and in a city that never sleeps like Toronto, there was still a lot of traffic, Chen Xi and Wu Jing were standing on the side of the street, and a group of drunk young people and drunks occasionally passed by on the street...... Everywhere is a prosperous but degraded scene.
This place is different from China...... It's nighttime here, especially in some places where security is not good, and it's really dangerous.
But now they can't control so much, especially Chen Xi.
He felt a passion rising into his chest, making his chest as if it had been ignited on fire, and then the whole person felt a huge heat in this heat.
Journey, step by step!
In fact, many directors, if they have a little pursuit in their hearts, even if they are filming various money-cheating works, they will have a dream of letting their works be recognized by the whole world, and they will have a dream of letting Chinese films go abroad and gallop across the world.
And now, in Chen Xi's dream, he feels that he is gradually taking a step, and many of his things are spreading and extending little by little, reaching a world that he has never imagined or even dared to imagine before.
β¦β¦ That evening!
There is no direct Raid on IMDB right now, but it should not be far off, and the most important ones now are some social networking sites, including Facebook in North America, and Twitter, which is gradually starting to have more and more people......
Twitter has only been established for a year or two, but the speed of its spread is astonishing, and the majority of netizens are still very happy with the acceptance of this kind of thing.
On Facebook and Twitter, it didn't take long for something about The Raid to appear.
"I watched a weird movie with my friends at the Toronto Film Festival tonight! It's called "Raid" is a Chinese movie, at the beginning I thought it was a bit strange to put this kind of film in the crazy midnight unit, Chinese kung fu, does that really have anything to do with midnight madness? But it wasn't until I watched this film that I really knew the significance of this movie in the Midnight Madness unit! It's bloody and shocking, and it's tearing! And the most important thing is that this film can actually integrate beautiful Chinese kung fu with one move and one style in this kind of violence and blood, which is simply an unimaginable huge achievement! I highly recommend everyone to watch "The Raid" and watch this film. β
"There was a strange Chinese film at the Toronto Film Festival! At first, you will think that this is an ordinary Chinese kung fu movie, and then you will lower your attention to him, and some cult fans may skip it directly...... But in fact, this movie is the most cult film I have ever seen, the feeling of a knife into the flesh and a gun headshot is really not something that can be experienced in any movie! And the most important thing is that this film can also integrate beautiful Chinese kung fu...... It's amazing. β
"The Raid, you may not have heard the name or heard about the movie, but I would highly recommend you to see it! Because of this Chinese movie, in many ways, people have a sense of shock that pierces the senses and pierces the heart! Any detail in this film has a strong impact, a Chinese kung fu movie that doesn't sound like it's too powerful, but when you really look at it, you'll find that this is actually a super cult movie that you can't stop! β
β¦β¦ In fact, there are not many cult films in Chinese movies, and there is less blood in Chinese mainland, after all, the vast land is easy to bring more positive values to everyone, and the island is more prone to perversion, because the forced terrain and a strong sense of crisis can always make them breed some love, such as Japan, such as Xiangjiang, Japanese cult films and some tertiary films in Hong Kong that are classics.
But some of the psychological aspects of China are also quite good.
But in terms of pure blood and violence, there are basically no Chinese films that are truly world-famous.
Although "The Raid" certainly has nothing to do with the world's fame, within some scopes, such as China, East Asia, Southeast Asia, North America, and Europe, it should be no problem to get a certain amount of attention, and it should be possible to get some box office.
"Hey, Chris, you guys do need to work a little harder!" Chen Xi found Xiguang Film Company and began to make some requirements for their partner, Chris, and their request here is to take advantage of the recent appearance of "Raid", hype up the film "Raid" a little, and also put the trailer on the Internet, although "Raid" does not put all the best parts on the Internet, but that kind of trailer does include many wonderful contents in "Raid", some violence and gore and strong and beautiful actions have been singled out and put on this.
Soon, Xiguang's side also began to operate gradually, and in addition, "The Raid" would be screened twice more at the Toronto Film Festival, and within this time, Chen Xi and they had already begun to have a certain number of film company reservations!
Finally, "Raid" can also become a film that Chen Xi and them really harvest overseas copyrights! (To be continued) R580
