November 15, 2002 (Western Time) -- The U.S. Film Market has finally ushered in their own color month after a Red China October!

"Harry Potter 2" - the sequel to this Western magic masterpiece in the world cinema industry, can be said to have reached the pinnacle of Western magic movies. And its global box office of up to 600 million US dollars has also become a classic among the most influential world-class film blockbusters of the year in 2002!

Even if it is another sci-fi masterpiece "Spider-Man" strongly promoted by Columbia, its box office only received a total box office of 400 million in the end, which is still a matter of the premise that the two films are separated and fight against each other!

Needless to say, as soon as "Ha 2" was released, the box office results of other movies around the world were immediately strongly blocked! The global box office on the day of the premiere was more than 60 million US dollars, like a strong bomb, which suddenly killed all the movies in the same period!

Whether it's a big piece or a small piece......

The "Fist" film is no exception, and it only received a global box office of about 3 million US dollars on the 15th! (PS: After entering November, the "Fist" film was officially launched to the world through MGM, and began to enter the hot screening period in 8 countries around the world, including Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Canada, Japan and South Korea.) ）

On this day, almost all the entertainment reports around the world focused on "Ha 2". And the dark horse blockbuster "Boxer", which was a big surprise before, has also retreated from the news headlines of some mainstream reports in the West, leaving only some small chapters to do follow-up reports.

Regarding the box office of "Fist" began to be blocked, Qi Lei appeared calm and calm. Anyway, his set goal for the film has been achieved a long time ago, and now it is not important to say what results the film can achieve in the remaining release days!

But just because Qi Lei doesn't care doesn't mean that others don't care! ……

"Boxing" was blocked, and the future was weak and powerless -- "Next Magazine", the number one entertainment newspaper in the X-port area of China, reported with such a headline.

345 million (referring to the total box office results of "Boxing" as of November 15), this is the final report card of "Boxer"!? -- The mainland entertainment newspaper "S City Daily" is very uncertain.

The miracle stopped, and the wind of "Fist" was not there!! -- In the evening news report program of S City in the mainland, a one-minute report about the film was inserted.

Of course, in addition to these somewhat pessimistic reports, there are also some other small media or local media that have their own reports on "Boxer".

"345 million, it's a miracle!"

"Kung fu films, finally returning to the top blockbusters in the world film industry!"

"QI LEI STRIVES TO BE THE SECOND ...... OF LI XIAOLONG"

"Real, shocking, super dazzling, practical, Huayi is leading a new trend of action movies!"

"Comparable to a generation of action superstars......"

……

Perhaps because of the birthplace, in Asia, especially in the film and television circles of the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places in China, the coverage of the "Fist" film is relatively similar to that of foreign countries, not only does not appear to be retreating, but it is becoming more and more intense......

“…… It turns out that kung fu movies can also be watched so realistically, wow! ”

"It's enough! ……”

"Wow~~ I've been learning martial arts for so many years, and I never knew that the original routine would be so practical and powerful!"

"The fist knocks people away~~ This Hong Fist is really too man! It's super loving~~ It makes me want to learn martial arts. ”

"It turns out that Tai Chi can be played like this!"

After watching the "Fist" film, many domestic fans have expressed their hearts.

The voices of affirmation and approval of the "Fist" film have made the "Fist" film not as strong as in the domestic film market, which has been strongly blocked and its box office performance has faded.

Moving forward steadily, it is said that after the "Fist" film landed in domestic theaters, its performance in the total box office results! …,

This made many domestic film companies feel unfair: rely on ...... I can't sink this girl like this, I'm so lucky, right!? This kid...... No, you can't let this kid from Huayi be so proud anymore!

Thinking that the movies and TV works produced by many film and television companies have been half-beaten by several dramas launched by Reviver in this schedule, all of them are just recouped with their roots, or even can't even earn their backs...... Every time I think of this, the bosses of these companies feel a lot of pain.

……

In Causeway Bay, Hong Kong, a dozen men and women were sitting in a room at a private club.

"Alright! …… That's the way it is, folks. What do you guys think? Lin Jianyue, the boss of Media Asia, looked at the heads of various film companies sitting around and said.

"#%¥・~" After a burst of whispering in the minds, Emperor Yang Shoucheng took the lead in expressing his opinion: "It is indeed a trouble...... At present, Huayi's film has already snatched more than 80 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office of us, although this box office accounts for only a small part of its total box office. But this part is what we have gained from a year's hard work, if we don't want to find a way to curb the rising momentum of the box office of "Fist", then we will have to eat the northwest wind this year! ”

"Eun Eun~"

"Yes~"

"That's it!"

Yang Shoucheng's words were unanimously approved by all the minds present.

Lin Jianyue followed Yang Shoucheng's words and asked everyone: "So we have to think of a way now, we must know that there is only a little time left this year." If you don't come up with a solution quickly, I believe that everyone will not want to see the consequences! What do you think? ……”

"I think we should, in fact, be able to do this...... Do it. ”

"If you want to do that, you'll have to ask some media for help!"

"I'm in charge of that!"

"There are also some people who are messing around with little people, what do you say?"

"Good...... No problem! ”

For a while, there was a lot of discussion in the room, and soon everyone discussed a set of preliminary plans for Huayi and Qi Lei's new drama "Boxer" to affect the box office.

However, Qi Lei, as the protagonist, did not know these things, and he was still dancing and acting!

……

In late November, just as some studios were preparing to start an attack on Mr. Qi. Qi Lei appeared in the lobby of Pudong International Airport in S City!

He came to see him off, sending Yao Ming of the S City Vocational Basketball Team to the NBA to start his American professional basketball career.

"Have a nice trip."

"Come on, Daming!"

"Hey, buddy, I'm sure you can do it!"

"We must become a world-class center forward, for our dreams!"

"Thank you~Thank you~Thank you~ Thank you! ~”

Because this is the first time Yao Ming has gone to the United States as a professional basketball player, there are quite a lot of people who come to see him off.

Including the whole team of the S City basketball team from top to bottom, as well as some of Yao Ming's family members, etc., a large line of more than 30 people appeared at the airport passenger entrance ticket gate in the airport waiting hall!

Of course, as a member of the basketball team, Qi Lei also came with these people to see off Yao Ming. However, he didn't rush to Yao Ming and say goodbye to him, but stood aside and messed with something......

After a while, when everyone had almost said goodbye, he stepped forward and said to Yao Ming, "Hey...... Congratulations, buddy. I was finally able to fulfill my heart's greatest wish...... Go for it! ”

"Thank you, Qi Da." For this special alternative storage in the team, Yao Ming has been with Qi Lei for a period of time, whether it is personally, or in playing basketball, he deeply admires him. …,

After all, not everyone can be as popular as a full-time star artist like Qi Lei, and he can also play a good game of deputy basketball!

Yes, outstanding! …… The outstanding Revival is already to the point where he is invincible to all the players on the team. If nothing else, with the current skills of Qi Lei, he may be able to lead the team to win the cup again!

Of course, although some of the above are what the team coach Li Qiuping said to Yao Ming in private, but even so, it is not difficult to see that Qi Lei at this time has become a very good store among the players in the domestic professional league in terms of ball skills!

The two hammered each other's chests wordlessly, the friendship between men is actually so simple sometimes, there is no need to say any more sensational words, just one action is enough.

"Which ~ as a brother, you can go to the American professional basketball team one step ahead of us to realize your dream, we are all extremely happy for you! …… So, take this one with you too! Qi Lei suddenly took a basketball handed over by his girlfriend Li Bingbing from behind and handed it to Yao Ming.

This is a basketball with a banner full of names and blessings: Daming, I wish you to become a world-class center as soon as possible!

Comparable to OL! ……

For dreams, for brothers, for basketball!

I wish Chinese basketball will rise from now on!!

The impassioned words made Yao Ming start to feel a little moist in the corners of his eyes as he read it......

"Qi Da~~" Yao Ming was very excited at this time.

"Go, brother! ~ But you have to remember that you are not alone in the fight. You and me, and we have your back! So when we arrive in the United States, we have to work hard even for our share! ~~”

Yao Ming was speechless for a long time after hearing this, and the basketball in his hand was gradually grasped and replied: "I will~ I will!! Brothers, I'm one step ahead! ”

After saying this, Yao Ming turned around and took the basketball with everyone's dreams and blessings, and entered the ticket gate with his father to board the plane!
