Chapter 1083: This is Si-Ba-Da!
"Who is that Huaxia man?"
At this moment, for the vast majority of journalists, a huge doubt haunts them.
Director Zack Schneider spoke, thanking everyone present today, and expressed his outlook on the achievements of the movie "Spartan 300 Warriors".
Standing in the center is naturally director Zack Snyder, and the two people standing next to him are naturally the heroes and heroines of the movie "Spartan 300 Warriors", Gerard and Linna.
Similarly, standing next to Lina is Frank Miller, the author of the best-selling American book "300 Dead", but standing next to Gerald is a yellow man who is not well known in the United States.
Even the most famous star in Brazil, the man with the title of Brazil's number one charismatic male god, can only stand next to Menjie!
And most importantly......
The Chinese man standing next to the Brazilian male god Rodrigo Santoro still looks so handsome and handsome!
Some are close to the neutral beauty, there is a market in Asia, but the market in Western countries is not very large, according to the practice for a long time, or a simple man can have a larger market, can attract people's attention more.
Originally, many people thought that Rodrigo, the first male god in Brazil, was definitely the most eye-catching existence in the movie "Spartan 300 Warriors".
After all, the promotional slogan of this movie from the very beginning was 'this is a man's movie', and it is conceivable that the charm of the characters in the movie has been reduced to the limit, and it is good to have Rodrigo to support the field.
But now, they're all taken aback.
The yellow man standing next to Rodrigo. It seems to be more handsome!
You must know that in the case of spanning different races, it is definitely not easy for Menjie to be as handsome as Rodrigo who is also white in the eyes of white people.
Of course, it is not everyone who thinks that Menjie is more handsome than Rodrigo, only those who do not see any difference between whites and yellows, and in fact, for the vast majority, they rarely see yellows, and the vast majority of people they see in their lives are still whites. Menjie's appearance is still a little worse than Rodrigo's.
In fact, compared with the charm value of the two, it is indeed not very bad, and it is normal to have this situation.
But this does not affect people's knowledge that such a handsome guy has come out of Asia again.
In terms of handsomeness, I'm afraid except for those veteran movie stars in China. For example, except for Liu Dehua and his brother, I am afraid that no one can compare with him. And these two people who surpassed Menjie. It's also a little special.
The 'elder brother' who has gone away is more of a state that has brought a neutral beauty to the limit with a "Farewell My Concubine", and no one can surpass it.
Liu Dehua is through the precipitation of the years.
Among young people, in terms of handsomeness, there are not many who can barely compare with Menjie, let alone surpass it.
As for the Korean stars......
A little glance at it will tell you the way. No one can beat Menjie!
Although when comparing Menjie with white handsomeness, because of his own race and aesthetics, it is still very clear when comparing Menjie and yellow people.
This young lad is so handsome!
This was the first thing that came to mind for all the reporters of the news media on the scene.
The next moment. And the hearts of the people were filled with doubts.
What is the identity of this Chinese man? was able to stand in the center of the movie "Spartan 300 Warriors", and even the famous Rodrigo was ranked behind Menjie?
Is this a vase-like figure, or is it really very capable?
Everyone at the scene was very puzzled, and even a reporter asked Menjie or director Zack Schneider what his identity was.
But neither Menjie nor Zack Schneider clearly answered the questions of these reporters, but just replied lightly with a reply of 'I will know the truth when the movie is officially released', which made the reporters on the scene very helpless.
There is no way, I can only wait for a while, when the movie is officially broadcast, to be able to know the way.
"I remember!"
However, at this time, one of the many reporters present suddenly exclaimed and said in a low voice, "In the movie "Myth" two years before the Chinese action superstar Fang Jackie Chan, the second male number seems to be the young man named Menjie!" ”
Although Chinese movies are not too developed in Western countries, action movies are at the forefront of the world, and there is also a huge market, among which Fang Chenglong is the most, and many foreigners have also seen his movies, and it can even be said that the most famous Chinese movie star in the world is him, so naturally some people will think of it.
After listening to this reporter's words, many reporters at the scene also thought about it, and at the same time focused on Menjie.
"It seems that everyone is very curious about you, so I'll talk about it for you!"
Seeing this, Zack Schneider also knew that it would not work without a little explanation, so he chuckled lightly and roughly explained Menjie's personal resume.
"This Menjie, who plays the second male lead in our movie "Spartan 300 Warriors", is indeed not very famous in the United States, but he is a very famous actor in China, and has cooperated with Fang Chenglong, Zhou Xingchi, famous director Feng Xiaogang and others in Huaxia, and even the TV series he starred in won the first rating in 2006, he is definitely a very powerful young man, just last month, he was nominated for the Huaxia Film Huabiao Award for Best Actor!"
After a little explanation of Menjie's popularity in China, Zack Schneider did not shy away from boasting about Menjie and told most of Menjie's achievements.
Even the nomination for Best Actor at the Huaxia Film Huabiao Award that Menjie received last month for the movie "The Ballad of Yunshui" also said.
The previous explanation can only show Menjie's popularity in Huaxia, and cannot fully show Menjie's strength, while the later explanation fully shows how strong Menjie's strength is.
Although it is an award that is not very well-known internationally. But it can be regarded as a top award with a population of more than one billion, and even if it can be nominated, it proves that Menjie's strength is extraordinary.
Naturally, after hearing this, the people at the scene looked forward to Menjie's next performance.
Of course, if Menjie's performance is not very good, it will also be criticized countless times, and Menjie's idea of gaining a certain popularity in Western countries will not succeed in a short period of time.
"Finally, thank you for being able to attend the premiere of the movie "Spartan 300 Warriors"!"
Finally, with the opening of the premiere ceremony. Zack Schneider also took Menjie and others on the stage to thank all the people present, and made a prediction about the results of the movie "Spartan 300 Warriors".
The release of the movie "Spartan 300 Warriors" is not small, with 3,103 theaters released simultaneously, which is obviously Warner Bros. 2007's ambition, and the publicity is also quite terrifying. It is definitely the first major work of Warner Bros. in the current period.
Among the current top 10 works at the North American box office. Warner Bros. didn't have too good results. Take last week as an example, among the top 10 works last week, only the film "Composed Love Song" ranked seventh was a work of Warner Bros.
Although it has received a full 38.67 million US dollars at the box office, it has been in theaters for three weeks, and it seems that the life span will not be too long, and there is no problem with the final result exceeding 40 million. Whether it can reach 50 million is really a very serious question.
In addition, the most vigorous in the current North American box office charts is undoubtedly Disney's work. Last week, the movie "Bridge to Wonderland", which was released for three weeks, has received a total box office of 58 million, and has now reached a figure of more than 60 million.
And last week's box office champion, "The Wild Racers", which climbed to the first place in just one week, earned a box office of $39.67 million in just one week, and it is only a matter of time before the final box office exceeds $100 million.
The first and second largest movies at the box office are all Disney works, which makes Warner Bros., one of the top entertainment companies in the world, a little impatient, so it launched the movie "Spartan 300 Warriors", which was released simultaneously in 3103 plus theaters.
Although it is slightly inferior to the 3,287 champions of last week's "Red Race" in terms of theaters, the gap is not very large, and it is naturally possible to be comparable in terms of results.
Naturally, in the speech just now, after receiving the instruction of Warner Bros. Entertainment, Zack Schneider also directly said that himself, the entire crew, and Warner Bros. Entertainment's prediction of the box office performance of the movie "Spartan 300 Warriors" will reach a total box office score of 40 million US dollars in the first week!
In terms of numbers, it is more than last week's champion and this week's biggest enemy, "Red Racers", with a total of $330,000.
In terms of box office predictions, it is not clear how many men and heroines Zack Snyder, Warner Bros. and others have in mind, but at least they must not show weakness in front of the media, at least they must say the number of '40 million US dollars', and it may also be in their minds, the box office of the movie will far exceed such a number, but in order to avoid not meeting expectations, such a figure is said.
However, it is precisely because of the prediction of 40 million US dollars that many reporters are quite expectant.
In the literal sense of this number, the movie "Spartan 300" can really be compared to last week's box office champion "Red Dead Redemption", and this week, the two movies collide again, and the final winner is still a suspense.
In today's time when the competition in movies is not very fierce, it is indeed quite eye-catching to be able to break out such a good scene.
All the reporters couldn't help but look forward to it.
Just in the expectation of everyone at the scene, the lights of the theater dimmed, and Menjie and others hurriedly stepped down from the stage and made their positions.
All the people didn't speak, just quietly waited for the official release of the movie.
The achievements of this movie have a crucial and decisive role in the future of many people, among which Menjie and Zack Schneider are the most. If the results of the movie are not good, the blow to the two must be quite huge, and in the same way, if the movie results can be very good, it will also have the most significant help for the two!
Just in the expectation of everyone, a golden logo appeared on the big screen, which is the logo of Warner Bros.
"Maybe it won't be long before my company's logo can appear on the big screen!"
Looking at the familiar Warner Bros. logo, Menjie narrowed his eyes. I couldn't help but mutter.
The next moment, the movie officially begins!
As a war-themed movie, "Spartan 300 Warriors" has just begun to air, and there is a sound of eerie, terrifying, and flashing lightning. made people close their mouths in an instant and entered the world of movies. Meanwhile. Countless skulls also appeared on the big screen, and a voice could be heard at any time.
"When a baby boy is born, like all babies in Sparta, he will be carefully examined, and if he is too small, too weak, sickly, or deformed, he will be abandoned!"
A simple word. instantly made all the audience smell a trace of murderous breath, what kind of terrifying and powerful country is this?!
"From the moment he was able to stand firm, he began to receive the baptism of battle!"
A shirtless little boy in his early teens. Holding a short knife, a strong man on the other side slashed the boy's short knife with a merciless blow, knocking him to the ground with a slam punch.
But the boy was not discouraged, wiped the blood from his mouth, and his eyes were full of battle.
"To be taught never to back down, never to surrender, and to be instilled with the idea that dying on the battlefield for Sparta is the greatest glory a man can achieve in his life!"
Just a simple beginning, let all the audience realize how much this country called Sparta admires power, and the living environment is completely governed by the law of the jungle.
But the next plot makes people realize the cruelty of this country!
Young boys in their early teens would be banished directly outside the city, where they would be caught and killed one by one, with bloody or even minor injuries, to fight for survival, to starve, to force them to steal, and even to ...... Homicide!
The children were punished by not educating and verbally abusing them, but by sticking and whipping.
During training, even sixteen or seventeen-year-old children would be thrown into the ice and snow to fight hungry wolves.
Only the best warriors, who have endured countless battles, the sharpness of life and death, can become the king of this country, rule the whole of Sparta, and become the new 'king'!
The king of Sparta's generation, Leonidas!
"The wolf and the cold winter night are more than thirty years old, and yet now another beast is coming upon us, full of confidence and patience, enjoying the smell of meat that is about to reach its mouth, but this beast is a soldier and a horse, a sword and a spear, an army of countless slaves, ready to devour the weak Greece, ready to extinguish the flame of hope for reason and justice in a world, this beast is approaching, it is King Leonidas himself who provokes it......"
A simple sentence reveals the warrior's fear of the beast, and also briefly describes the enemy of the 'Sparta' where the protagonist is located.
In their eyes, one of the most powerful beings in the world, an emperor named Xerxes!
An enemy that even Sparta, which trained warriors so cruelly, could not defeat? It must be an even more terrifying existence!
For a moment, all the audience couldn't help but have such an idea in their hearts.
Then, with the arrival of a small group of 'Xerxes' envoys, the pride and arrogance that struck everyone's hearts were even more firm.
Everyone was worried about what attitude Sparta, a country protected by the god of war, would have in the face of the Persian envoy.
You must know that the envoy sent by Emperor Xerxes only wants to obtain the nominal right to rule Sparta, and will not manage it in any other way, which is absolutely extremely relaxed.
That emperor just wants to dominate the world!
"If it were me, I would probably say yes, right?"
The vast majority of the audience couldn't help but have such an idea in their hearts.
However, in the next moment, the legendary king of Sparta, Leo Darley, turned out to be like a madman, not at all like a full-fledged emperor who thought about the state and politics. Zhi, diplomacy, etc., directly pulled out the short knife on his waist and pointed at the Persian envoy.
"You came to my steps with the head and crown of a conquered king, you insulted my queen, you threatened my subjects with slavery and death......"
"It's blasphemous...... It's just crazy......"
"Crazy?"
Glancing at his wife behind him, Leo Dalie roared madly like a madman, "This is S-Ba-Da!" ”
In an instant, King Leo Dalie no longer had the slightest hesitation in his mind, he didn't care about the rules of not slashing the envoy, and with a fierce kick, he kicked the Persian envoy into the abyss!
With that crazy roar, almost all the audience felt a burst of blood boiling, and their minds suddenly recalled the promotional slogan of the overwhelming movie "Spartan 300 Warriors" some time ago.
This is a man's movie!
Indeed, this is really a hot-blooded movie that belongs to real men.
There is no conspiracy, no darkness, no fear, no submission......
Yes, it's just crazy and hot-blooded!
This is Sparta! (To be continued......)
