Affected by Mu Rong's first K-1 group stage victory, "Big Old Man" has received widespread attention since it was launched.

The audience wants to know what happened to this movie, which once made Mu Rong a lost man.

So, on the day of the film's premiere, a large number of viewers came to the cinema with the intention of seeing it for themselves.

Because of Mu Rong's visible popularity, Du Qifeng originally wanted to be released in Japan at the same time.

However, after a review by Japan's Film Ethics Committee, the film was set to a level of "outside the censorship adaptation zone" and could not be released in ordinary theaters.

Du Qifeng scoffed at this and simply gave up the Japanese market.

On the day of the premiere, Mu Rong personally flew back to Beiping to attend the premiere of the film.

On that day, the premiere's theater was almost so full of media that few people didn't come in.

According to the usual practice, Du Qifeng and Mu Rong first watched the movie with all media reporters before being interviewed.

This is the first time Mu Rong has watched a movie after filming.

Because "Dragon Babu" has not yet been released, this is also the first time Mu Rong has seen himself on the screen.

It's quite amazing to see yourself in the movie wearing a silicone muscle suit, like a humanoid monster.

The broadcast process of the movie is very peaceful, except for the scene in the movie where Zhang Bozhi's head was cut off by Sun Guo and placed on the branch of the tree startled everyone, when watching other plots, the reporters in the premiere hall were very quiet.

At the end of the movie, Du Qifeng, Mu Rong and other main creators also came to the stage and began to accept interviews and questions from reporters.

Just finished watching the movie, and the reporters all accumulated a stomach full of questions.

At the beginning of the question session, reporters raised their hands to ask questions.

After the first reporter was named and got up, he asked the question that everyone wanted to ask the most: "Director Du, you should want to express the cause and effect theory and fatalism of Buddhism, and there are lines in the movie that you can't take away, only karma is with you, but the audience is likely to understand when it is time to retribution, thinking that you are persuading everyone to let go of their hatred for Japan, do you have anything to respond to?" ”

Du Qifeng had been prepared for this question for a long time, he picked up the microphone and said seriously: "First of all, I want to say that the core concept expressed in this movie is indeed the Buddhist concept of persuading people to be good and countering bad karma with good karma, but this is definitely to persuade everyone to let go of hatred and do nothing that has happened."

The evil deeds committed by Japan are a fact that cannot be covered up, and those politicians are committed to covering up the evil deeds to this day, which is the biggest bad karma.

I used the image of devil soldiers doing evil in the movie to remind everyone not to forget their evil deeds.

However, I absolutely do not advocate that everyone be carried away by hatred and use the same evil means to retaliate against Japan, which will not only fail to take revenge, but also harm themselves.

To use the concept in the movie, good deeds bear good results, and only good karma can eliminate bad karma.

What is good karma? That is to work hard to develop and live well.

Living better than the enemy and living happier than the enemy is the best revenge! ”

Hearing his words, the scene immediately burst into applause.

It makes sense, in the contrast of strength, the revenge of the weak always seems to be no threat at all.

In last 02, Japan's per capita GDP was only $1,148, while Japan's per capita GDP was as high as $32,289.

With such a huge disparity in strength, what kind of revenge can we talk about?

Only by doing a good job of development and making the country stronger can we be qualified to make the enemy pay the price they deserve.

But reason tells everyone that this is the best way, but emotion makes everyone inevitably feel a little depressed.

Seeing that the air pressure at the scene was a little dull, Mu Rong reached out and took the microphone, and said in a deep voice: "I don't agree with Director Du's opinion, I think that the only thing that can eliminate the deep hatred of the sea of blood is blood debt and blood repayment, even if you don't have the strength to take revenge for the time being, you can't weaken your courage!" ”

Hearing his words, everyone was in high spirits.

Everyone knows that Mu Rong doesn't just talk about it, he does it too!

"Brother Rong Niu B!"

One of the audience brothers suddenly roared, which immediately caused the audience to laugh, and the atmosphere instantly relaxed.

Mu Rong also showed a hint of a smile: "So, everyone has to work hard, let the devil pay off the blood debt, just leave it to me first!" ”

"Good!"

Everyone responded in a hurry, very excited.

"Punch the devil two more times for me!"

The big brother in the audience shouted loudly.

"No problem!"

Mu Rong looked over there and smiled: "I'll play the K-1 Japan semifinals next week, and I'll help you beat a few more times when the time comes!" ”

"I'll definitely see it!"

There was another burst of laughter at the scene.

The next day, what Mu Rong said at the premiere was written in newspapers and magazines by major media outlets, and appeared in front of a wide audience.

Although everyone knows that Du Qifeng's views are the most rational and safe, everyone just loves to listen to Mu Rong's words.

Nothing else, relieve!

Affected by this, the first-day box office of "Big Old" in the mainland directly exceeded 10 million, and it got a first-day box office of 11.2 million.

This result immediately caused a sensation.

You must know that so far, there are not a few directors who can get tens of millions of box office on the first day.

Last year, Zhang Yimou's pinnacle work "Hero" only had a box office of 17 million on the first day, and this is already the best record in the mainland.

Overnight, Du Qifeng became the director with the highest box office on the first day in the mainland.

And Mu Rong has directly become an upstart in the film industry, and he is hot for a while, and the interviews are continuous.

But it's a pity that from the next day, the box office of "Big Old" fell to only more than 6 million, a drop of nearly half.

The film press interviewed the audience who watched the movie on the first day, and the feedback was mostly consistent.

Many viewers are coming for Mu Rong, hoping to see a wonderful kung fu blockbuster.

But what disappointed everyone was that there were not many fight scenes in this movie, only three, and the rest were all large-scale literary dramas, and they were about the misty Buddhism of cause and effect and fatalism.

This theory obviously has little market in the mainland.

Most of the people on the mainland who grew up under the red flag have just experienced opening up, going to the sea, and have witnessed countless examples of changing their fate around them, how can they accept this aggrieved theory?

What's even more unpleasant to everyone is that the ending of the movie is very fucked, Li Fengyi didn't say anything about her death, because she actually chose to put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot.

Many viewers said that they would like to see happy endings, such as Mu Rong saving Li Fengyi, the two getting married and having children, and living a happy life.

There are also some viewers who think that Mu Rong and Zhang Bozhi are very right in the movie, and hope to see them come together in reality.

The media complied with the audience's needs, and soon the scandal between Mu Rong and Zhang Bozhi came out.

But after only one day, these scandals disappeared without a trace.

And the media that have made scandals have also changed their tunes, claiming that Mu Rong and Zhang Bozhi are ordinary friends, and there is not much intersection outside the play.

is different from the high and low opening of the mainland market, in the Xiangjiang market, the box office results of this "Big Old Man" are quite eye-catching.

Its box office in Xiangjiang failed to break 10 million on the first day, only 8.64 million, but the box office on the second day reached 9.35 million, which has exceeded the box office in the mainland.

The audience in Xiangjiang seems to be more accepting of this kind of twisted plot.

However, both the mainland audience and the Xiangjiang audience have one thing in common, that is, they are full of anticipation for Mu Rong's upcoming K-1 Japan semifinals.

With the release of the box office in the first week of the movie, Mu Rong also ushered in his second game in K-1 Japan.
