On the day before Christmas, "Storm and Storm" was finally released, and this time it was also released simultaneously worldwide, but unlike "Legend of the Night", the screening ceremony of "Storm and Storm" did not choose the United States, but Hong Kong.

Despite this, the screening was still very lively, and the main creators of the film were basically here, and the bosses of both parties, Zeng Zhiwei and Xiang Huaqiang, also came, in addition, some of the famous actors and familiar actors of the two companies were all invited to come, and dozens of stars gathered together, which can be described as starry and dizzying. This alone will be the topic of conversation tomorrow.

Seeing more and more people gathered around the cinema, the smile on Xiang Huaqiang's face became more and more prosperous, which is not only the effect of the film's early publicity, but also has many factors for the grand scene of today's screening, as long as it can attract more people's attention, the higher the box office of the film will be.

He looked at his watch, it was already more than nine o'clock, and there were only ten minutes before the official start of the screening at half past nine, but Gu Chen hadn't arrived yet, so he wouldn't change his mind, right? couldn't help but ask Zeng Zhiwei beside him, "Mr. Zeng, are you sure that Mr. Gu will really come today?" ”

It's not that he wants to doubt it, but Gu Chen hasn't participated in the screening of the film for a long time, and the most recent one was when "Resident Evil" was released, although in his opinion, whether Gu Chen comes or doesn't come should not have much impact on the attention of today's screening.

But this represents Gu Chen's attitude, and he also wants to take this opportunity to get close to Gu Chen, which is only good for him, not harmful.

Zeng Zhiwei smiled and said in a low voice, "Didn't you see that Miss Qiu hasn't come yet?" Miss Qiu is the heroine of the film, and she will definitely not be absent. ”

As soon as the words fell, several white Rolls-Royces drove over, and the extended Rolls-Royce in the middle stopped at the beginning of the red carpet, and then more than a dozen bodyguards got down from the front and rear cars to protect the extended Rolls-Royce in the middle. With such a posture, the people present didn't know who was coming. Many reporters on both sides raised their cameras and waited, no matter when and where, Gu Chen was the focus of attention.

Gu Chen and Qiu Shuzhen got out of the car and shook hands with Xiang Huaqiang, who greeted him, Gu Chen smiled and said, "I'm not late, Mr. Xiang." ”

"Of course not, Mr. Gu came just right, please two inside." Xiang Huaqiang made a gesture of please. The three walked on the red carpet to the door of the cinema, and the cameras of reporters on both sides kept taking pictures along the way, but most of their targets were Qiu Shuzhen.

Although Qiu Shuzhen did not wear a dress today, she only dressed up a little, but her beauty and acquired nobility still made her the most watched woman in the audience. What's more, she is also the heroine of "Storm and Clouds Dominate the World", and she is a well-deserved protagonist today.

Gu Chen did not enter the cinema first, but stood with Qiu Shuzhen at the door, today he was originally here to support Qiu Shuzhen, since they are all here, they naturally have to be dedicated, anyway, the screening is about to start...... A few minutes later. Everyone who should come is here, everyone, including reporters, has entered the theater 6 times, and according to the custom, before the official start of the screening, there is also a short question session for reporters.

Looking at the main creators who were being interviewed by reporters in front of him, Xiang Huaqiang hesitated, and finally asked the question that had been held in his heart for a long time: "Mr. Gu, I have always been curious. Why don't we put the screening of "Storm and Storm" in the United States? ”

"Legend of the Night" has already been said yesterday, although the box office performance is worse than "Life Crisis", but it is better than "Blade", the North American box office reached 137 million US dollars, and the global total box office was 274 million US dollars, ranking third in the North American box office list, making Golden Harvest who participated in the investment a lot of money. is also because the film has been affirmed by the Hollywood media and the audience, which has made Golden Harvest indirectly gain a huge reputation, which makes Xiang Huaqiang red-eyed, and hopes that "Storm and Storm Dominates the World" can achieve the same good results.

And in order to maximize the box office of "Storm and Storm". Choosing New York or Los Angeles is the best choice.

At the beginning, he wanted to oppose the Tang Dynasty film's decision to be screened in Hong Kong, but after all, he still didn't express it directly, firstly, because although he invested half of the funds, all the work of the film from the beginning of filming to the final publicity was dominated by Tang Dynasty films, and Yongsheng Films was just assisting from the side, which means that he didn't have much right to speak, and it was estimated how useful it would be to say it. Second, no one will have trouble with money, and there must be reasons why he didn't expect the Tang Dynasty movie to put the screening of "Storm and Clouds Dominate the World" in Hong Kong.

"After Mr. Xiang watched "The Storm and the Clouds Dominate the World", there should be a movie, this is a movie with a strong Chinese cultural color?"

Xiang Huaqiang nodded after a little thought, whether it is from the storyline, character setting, martial arts setting, or from the computer special effects of the post-production zuò, "Storm and Storm Dominates the World" does have a strong Chinese cultural color, and it is a mythological martial arts drama.

Thinking of this, he suddenly thought of something, when he watched the release version of "Storm and Clouds in the World" before, he only felt that "Storm and Clouds Dominate the World" was not as good as "Legend of the Night" in terms of computer special effects, and even more exciting in terms of fighting and plot, so he thought that "Storm and Storm" should also be screened in the United States, and strive to achieve the same good results as Hong Kong blockbuster films such as "Legend of the Night" and "Resident Evil", but he never thought about this. Sure enough, Gu Chen's next words confirmed his thoughts:

"Here's the problem, there is a big difference between Eastern and Western cultures, what we think is a good movie, Americans may not think it's good, and most Americans will definitely not understand "Three Points of Vitality" or something, which will have a great impact on the box office of the film."

"On the contrary, this kind of martial arts movie should be more popular with the Chinese, and the box office market of "Storm and Storm" will be mainly concentrated in the Chinese-speaking cultural circle, such as Southeast Asia, Japan and South Korea, so it makes no difference whether the screening is held in the United States or not."

Gu Chen smiled slightly, turned his head to look at Xiang Huaqiang, and said, "But Mr. Xiang, you can rest assured, it's no problem to make a little money from this film." ”

Hearing this, Xiang Huaqiang's face couldn't help but flash a trace of imperceptible embarrassment, just now he was still thinking that Gu Chen took out a movie like "Legend of the Night" that obviously meets the tastes of Europeans and Americans to cooperate with Golden Harvest, but he used "Storm and Clouds to Dominate the World", a film that pays more attention to the Chinese-speaking market, and Yongsheng cooperated with it, which was fundamentally different, and he couldn't help but feel a resentment in his heart, but he didn't expect to be broken by Gu Chen's words.

"I am still very confident in this film, even if it can't be compared with "Tales of the Night", it will not be too bad, and the Asian film market is not small, as Mr. Gu said, you can definitely make money, it's just a matter of earning more and earning less."

"Huh." Gu Chen laughed twice and didn't say anything anymore, at this time the reporter's interview session was over, Qiu Shuzhen walked up to Gu Chen and sat down, and whispered coquettishly in Gu Chen's ear: "Those reporters are really annoying, they don't ask serious things, they always ask those who have not." ”

Gu Chen smiled, he clearly heard the reporter ask Qiu Shuzhen just now what she thought about Gu Chen's adoption of two white little girls in the United States, and whether she had any plans to have children, but Qiu Shuzhen understated it perfunctorily. He took Qiu Shuzhen's hand and said softly: "If they don't hate it, they won't be reporters, besides, if you really want to, let's work hard at night." ”

"Hmph, you're worse than them." Qiu Shuzhen slapped Gu Chen on the arm with disgust, this scene was seen by the people behind her, some were film critics, some invited guests, and more were reporters from various media, it is estimated that there will be another one in the newspaper tomorrow - Gu Chen and Qiu Shuzhen show their affection in public, but this kind of report will probably be happy to be heard.

The lights in the screening hall were all dimmed, and a beam of light was projected on the screen in front, and then the logo of the Peking Opera mask of the Tang Dynasty movie appeared on the screen, followed by the logo of the Yongsheng movie, and then the picture turned to Bujiazhuang, where the owner Bu Qingtian was casting a peerless sword......

Holding the box office report of "Storm and Storm Dominating the World" from the United States, Gu Chen couldn't help but show a wry smile on his face, although he had long expected that the box office of "Storm and Storm" in North America would definitely not be much better, in the past few days, Hollywood newspapers reported that "Storm and Storm Dominates the World" was also mostly negative, but he didn't expect the results to be so bad, the weekly box office was only more than 150,000 US dollars, less than one-third of the weekly box office of "Legend of the Night", and the reason why the box office was so poor was exactly what he thought. Most Americans can't understand it, and when a film comes down, they see actors jumping up and down in it, and they don't know what to do at all.

In this regard, he is also helpless: "It seems that if you want to make movies with traditional materials enter the European and American markets, you still need to work hard." His filming of "Storm and Storm Dominates the World" can be said to be a test of the ability of European and American audiences to accept movies with strong traditional Chinese culture.

Although the result was worse than he expected, it was still within his acceptable range. Not to mention that it was not all a failure, the film did very well at the box office in Asia, compared to "Tales of the Night", especially in Japan, which caused a wave of movie-watching.

He picked up another box office report, and the depression in his heart finally disappeared a little, as long as "Storm and Storm" can achieve good box office results in Asia, then the film will be a success. As for the media saying that his undefeated golden body was broken, he just smiled faintly and didn't take it to heart at all.
