Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

The next day, Hawke, the electronic surveillance officer at the Bank of America building, reviewed the surveillance footage as usual. All of them are as quiet as ever, without any abnormalities, even if they are fast-forwarding and reviewing, they are drowsy.

Suddenly, his eyes flickered, like a black shadow flying in front of the surveillance camera. He rubbed it vigorously a few times, and hurriedly poured it back to watch again.

"Definitely, what is that, a new type of flying machine? But what do you want to do when you fly near the bank building? ”

Hawke was scared into a cold sweat and quickly picked up the phone to report to his superiors. The security supervisor was also taken aback and quickly contacted various departments, but no one entered the bank vault. All security personnel were alarmed and scrutinized the building's security to see if there had been any damage. Notify customers in the building to check if anything is missing......

There are several banks in this building, and there is no room for them to make the slightest mistake.

This careful inspection really made them find out a lot of things.

Several surveillance cameras have figures floating by, and it can be ruled out that the cameras are stained with bugs. Strangely, there was no movement in the building. The shadows were photographed flying outside, outside the 313-meter-tall building...... It's incomprehensible to think about. But they still didn't dare to be careless, suspecting that some theft gang had come to step on it in advance. After re-checking the security facilities throughout the building, a police report was made.

The TV station didn't know when it learned about it, bought the video, and broadcast it on the news that night.

"Los Angeles was shocked by the night sky trapeze, suspected of a gang of thieves stepping on the spot in advance, the current bank building!"

Li Donglai happened to see the news, and he was immediately shocked into a cold sweat. It seems that it will be more cautious in the future, and there will be surveillance cameras everywhere in the city. There are also satellites and patrol aircraft in the sky. If you're not careful, you're in danger of being caught. Fortunately, in this scientific society, even if he is really photographed, at least it will not confirm that he can fly.

……

At the same time, the two Phantom branches in Asia have finally entered the explosive stage.

Entering November, the Phantom of the Korean Film Market took the lead.

Early October. The Phantom's new work "Final Weapon: Bow" exceeded everyone's expectations, and even killed "Sunshine Sisters", winning a super high viewing record of 7.47 million people, which is 100,000 more than surpassing "Sunshine Sisters" by 7.37 million people, and has won the Korean box office champion of the year so far this year.

It's a pity that this result failed to surpass "Transformers 3". "Transformers 3" landed in South Korea in June this year, with a record 7,790,434 viewers. It became the first film in the history of Korean cinema to surpass the 7 million mark in both series.

and "The Crucible", which is scheduled to be released in October. It is the movie that succeeded "Final Weapon: Bow" as the Phantom. "The Crucible", as its name suggests, gives the box office a bit of a hot temperature. Before the film was released, the novel of the same name became popular and sold hundreds of thousands of copies in South Korea. is a completely explosive topic, and the Phantom has once again become the focus of the entire Korean movie with "The Crucible".

On the occasion of the release of the movie. Let the Phantom almost dominate in South Korea, with a market share of 48.9%, accounting for half of the country. This work, which has no big stars, no big directors, and no beautiful directors, has been released in South Korea for six consecutive weeks, and at the same time, under the impact of the Hollywood blockbuster "Iron Fist of Steel", it also won the box office championship for three consecutive weeks. Until the Phantom's next movie, "Fighting Boy Wande", is released. The total box office exceeded 4.6 million.

It became one of the top five works of the year in Korea.

The Korean media's admiration for this film is not limited to the box office.

Based on the true sexual assault of a deaf and mute school, the film based on the best-selling novel caused public outrage upon its release, and as the box office soared, the public's anger intensified. It has led to the reopening of police investigations into school closures, as well as political legislation on sexual violence against people with disabilities.

This series of subsequent social effects has made people re-realize the real power of film that is different from other media, and Chosun Ilbo has called this kind of cultural event that pushes the government to improve legislation as a "melting pot effect".

Many media outlets have given high praise, and even listed this film as one of the best movies of the year.

The summer season is the explosive growth of "Sunshine Sisters", and in September, "The Final Weapon: Bow" surpassed the box office of "Sunshine Sisters" and won the annual box office champion in South Korea. October. It was the turn of "The Melting Pot" to be released, and with the strong public opinion as the force, it set off a movie-watching boom in the whole of South Korea.

Putting that aside for the time being, it's the end of October.

Son Ye-jin's first directorial topical work, the Korean local small-budget film "Fighting Boy Wonde", has finally been unveiled.

is also produced by Phantom, with the domineering watch of Kim Tae-hee's "Sunshine Sisters Tao" in front of it. Son Ye-jin's subsequent joining seems so deliberate and sophisticated. But this qiē can't deny the excellence of "Fighting Boy Wande"!

After being hyped for more than half a year, and finally waiting for the release, Son Ye-jin was under tremendous pressure.

Fortunately, the film's performance since its release has not let their hard work go to waste. Just in the test screening stage, it showed a good reputation.

"Fighting Boys", a film that lacks big-name actors, has achieved impressive box office results in its first week thanks to the good reputation that Phantom has created in South Korea this year, and has also given people many unexpected surprises.

On the day of the release of "Fighting Boy Wonder", the Phantom arranged a grand premiere ceremony at the Phantom Cinema in Seoul.

Except for the boss Li Donglai, almost all the celebrities in South Korea who can get involved with the phantom were present. earned enough face for Son Ye-jin. It must be known that Kim Tae-hee's "Sunshine Sisters" was released at that time, and there was no such momentum.

And the box office of the film is just like this imposing premiere. On the day of release, he defeated many opponents and became the box office champion of the day, showing his kingly demeanor; In the first weekend, the film hit a box office score of more than 460,000 viewers, and finally pulled the Phantom's own "Iron Fist" off the weekend championship.

At the same time, the pure love film "Only You" co-starred by So Ji-sub and Han Hyo-joo was released at the same time, but the number of moviegoers on weekends was less than 270,000. But as a romance in the traditional sense. This is already a remarkable achievement.

Many Korean media exclaimed, "The Phantom has released another tigress, according to this momentum, "Fighting Boy Yunde" is another word-of-mouth and box office masterpiece, if there is no dark horse at the end of the year." The Phantom can completely monopolize the top five positions in the annual box office list. This year's Korean movies have completely become the year of the phantom! ”

The Phantom is also neat and doesn't let the last bit of suspense become a fact.

"Fighting Boy Wande" once again stood on the top of the Korean film list the following week, and the number of moviegoers rose uncharacteristically, with an increase of nearly one-third from the previous week, reaching nearly 600,000 people. The market share also increased further, reaching 38.8%.

The Hollywood blockbuster "Iron Fist" in the same period, as well as the new film "Only You" co-starring Su Ji-sub and Han Hyo-joo, were all slaughtered. "Only You," the opening film of the Busan Film Festival, was highly anticipated before its release, and the sad atmosphere of the trailer was also very appetizing, and the film attracted 260,000 viewers in its first weekend. The report card is quite beautiful, but by the end of last week, that number had dropped by nearly 100,000, leaving only 170,000 people, and the film has only accumulated 730,000 viewers.

Korean cinema as a whole. This week, apart from the Phantom's standout, can be described as bleak. And this bleak scene even includes Song Hye Kyo's new film "Today", which was only bought by 27,000 people in the first weekend of its release, which makes people doubt their eyes for a while. Although the number of screens released in the film is only 220, which is only about one-third of the 611 screens of "Wande", the number of viewers of the latter is fully 20 times that of the former, and the comparison result is still very surprising.

For a while, South Korea once again had the trend of beautiful directors.

Phantom successfully launched the newcomer, and after Kim Tae-hee staged a perfect show of beauty and intelligence, Son Ye-jin also showed the same style. Not lost to the seniors at all.

The name of the Phantom Shuangshu is confirmed.

During the same period, there are countless beautiful celebrities and artists in the entire South Korea, and there is no more limelight than them.

Entering November, the scheduling of "Kung Fu Panda 2" in South Korea was postponed. Make a special trip to make way for "Fighting Boy Victory".

On the first weekend of November, the Korean film market once again entered the annual "hibernation period" on time, with few blockbuster films released, only small-budget film competition remained, and most of them staged the drama of "you sing and I will appear", and few works can stand firm.

But from a positive point of view, the box office hibernation period is also a special period when dark horses often come out, especially in small-budget films, there are many exquisite works, without the suppression of blockbusters, small films are easy to shine, so there will always be one or two films that are talked about by the audience during the annual film depression.

The high hat of "Leading the Depression Period" was crowned on the head of the phantom of the second round of the beautiful director's phantom small-budget film "Fighting Boy Vande".

The Phantom once again proves the slogan "The Phantom must be a high-quality product".

Not only is it full of hype, but it also shows amazing endurance in terms of durability, not a flash in the pan, but occupying the top spot in the box office list of Korean movies for several weeks in a row, which is a domineering and exposed work.

"Fighting Boys" once again won the box office list in the first week of this month, and the number of moviegoers was almost the same as last weekend, reaching 570,000 people, with a strong stability, and the cumulative number of moviegoers was 2.46 million. This kind of expression seems to bring the report of the Chosun Ilbo one step closer to becoming the truth.

It wasn't until mid-November that the championship was out of the way. "Kung Fu Panda 2" took over strongly, although it is not Hollywood, but it is still fighting "God of War" head-on in South Korea and successfully defending the throne. Not only did Panda defeat the God of War, but even "Wande" also occupied the runner-up position, with a total box office of 3.5 million people, successfully surpassing the results of "Steel Armor and Iron Fist" and entering the top ten of the year.

And finally won the record of breaking 5 million, and achieved 5.31 million (6) 444 viewers in October of the Korean box office off-season.

And "Kung Fu Panda 2" also perfectly inherited the super popularity of the previous work, and it was a big hit in South Korea, collecting 6 million people at the box office, becoming the best result of Hollywood's release in South Korea this year after "Transformers 3". (To be continued)
