Chapter 168: Hero Box Office Explosion

In the blink of an eye, a month has passed since the release of the hero, and in addition to the release of this film in China, more than 20 countries abroad have put this movie into theaters.

It's just that compared with foreign countries, the reviews of this movie in China are actually not very good.

Although the premiere was held in the Great Hall of the People at the time of the premiere, about 500 journalists from nearly 20 countries and regions packed the scene on the same day.

But many domestic audiences don't buy it.

Some people feel that this thin and simple plot is not enough to support the grand but too single theme, and they feel that the characterization of this movie is too flat and symbolic, and the lines and performances of online stage plays are slightly exaggerated.

It's like a donkey dung egg, smooth on the surface, but rough on the inside.

In short, there is a lot of scolding.

People are saying that Lao Mouzi has exhausted Jiang Lang's talents, and if he can't shoot realistic themes, he runs to the martial arts side to join in the fun, but the water is a mess.

After Jiang Bai learned that the film was released in a foreign country, he even paid out of his own pocket to invite the crew to watch it in the theater.

It's just that they all feel quite good after watching it, and Jiang Bai also heard that after the hero landed in Hollywood theaters, he quickly won the North American box office weekly championship so far this year.

Coming out of the theater, Jiang Bai heard people talk about the hero and the previously released Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

"Jiang Bai, when I was in the theater just now, I saw that you were actually on the list of staff, but I don't think it's unusual to have you in kung fu, but why is your name in the music production?"

On the car back, Keanu Reeves asked Jiang Bai suspiciously.

"Because I did design a lot of music in it, and the music I wrote when I fought Jet Lee in the movie, and there are some of them later."

Keanu Reeves couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this, because he had also been in a band before, so he was also very interested in this aspect.

So the two chatted about some music in the car.

When filming heroes, Jiang Bai didn't know much about modern music, but later he studied for a while, learned to use staves, and learned some music knowledge taught in school now.

Combined with the things he used to know, he quickly talked to Keanu Reeves.

It's just that in the process of chatting, Jiang Bai felt from the other party's words that the other party seemed to be a little hostile to China, and the other party was also very close to some separatists, which made him very unhappy.

And after chatting that night, Jiang Bai's favorability of Keanu Reeves plummeted.

originally thought that the other party was also a very handsome and dedicated actor, but he couldn't see the situation clearly on this kind of issue, so Jiang Bai didn't need to communicate too much with the other party.

However, on the third day after watching the movie, after Jiang Bai finished his work, he picked a time to call Zhang Yi and asked about the hero.

"They say it's not good-looking, it's because they don't understand."

Speaking of this topic, Zhang Yi was a little angry, "Look at it, when the time comes, I will make them all regret what they said." ”

Jiang Bai knows why Zhang Yi said this, because now the box office trend of the hero is very good, whether a movie is good or bad, in addition to the audience's word-of-mouth, the box office can also testify to it.

And Jiang Bai didn't say anything, but after saying some comforting words, he talked about other topics.

In this way, another few months passed, and Jiang Bai's actions were almost filmed, and as the weather gradually turned colder, Jiang Bai also changed into thick clothes.

"Brother Jiang, will we be able to go back in a little more than a month?"

On this day, Su Rou and Jiang Bai said with some complaints, they have been in Australia for eight months.

It's already over the New Year in China.

After eating this food all day, she was already tired of eating.

"Yes, our side will be over in more than a month, and when I go back this time, I must go and eat our own food, in the eighth building, I will go to one every day to change the taste."

"Mmmm, I'm going to eat all the delicacies on those food stalls, stinky tofu, spicy hotpot, skewers...... And rice noodles or something. Su Rou said in agreement.

She and Jiang Bai could only communicate with foreigners in English from the beginning, and now they can communicate with them fluently.

"I don't know why they want to come to foreign countries one by one, I think our country is very good."

"yes, I think it's good, too."

The work here is about to be finished, and Jiang Bai also got the news that the global box office of the hero finally reached $177 million.

And in North America alone, it got a box office of $53.71 million.

Later, when Zhang Yi held a press conference, he was very happy.

And after that, Zhang Yi plans to go outside to judge the award.

In addition to the Academy Awards and Golden Bauhinia Awards in Xiangjiang in China, he also directly took this film to apply for the Golden Rooster Awards, American Film, TV Golden Globe Awards, and the Berlin Film Festival.

I reported all the units that could be reported.

Some time ago they just went to America and Germany.

It's a pity that the Academy Awards didn't win the award, and only received a nomination for Best Foreign Language Film, and the Golden Globe Awards also won the Best Foreign Language Award nomination in the film category.

It's just that when they arrived in Berlin, Zhang Yi himself still won an Alfred Silver Bear Award, which is basically second only to the Golden Bear Award and the Jury Silver Bear Award, and it is also for Zhang Yi.

The gold content is also quite high.

But even if the hero didn't win the Golden Bear, he was also nominated for the Golden Bear Award for Best Picture.

Sometimes the film can be shortlisted to the point of nomination, which fully proves the strength of the film.

Although Zhang Yi had some regrets in his heart, he was not too frustrated, because he still had to take the hero to major domestic film festivals to compete.

So he asked Jiang Bai again if he would have time to go with him at that time.

Jiang Bai thought about it, if it was abroad, he would not be willing to go, of course, if he told Zhao Zhe about this, Zhao Zhe would definitely encourage himself to go over.

Because going abroad to evaluate the awards, this is not only to witness the honor of the film, but also to get the opportunity to walk the red carpet.

Many domestic stars were not invited, and even ordered their own clothes, ran to other people's film festivals to rub the red carpet, and rubbed back and forth and didn't want to leave, until the security guards chased people away.

Not to mention this opportunity to get an official invitation to walk the red carpet justifiably.

But Jiang Bai has really stayed abroad for a long time and wants to return to the domestic environment.

But since the next award is in China, Jiang Bai also agreed.

"However, I can't report the supporting roles, not because your acting skills are not good, but because there are too many people in the queue in front of you, and all of them are very qualified, but I can help you report in other aspects, such as action and music, because I also talked to Cheng Xiaodong and the team before, and they all said that you can report your name in these two aspects when the time comes, although you are only assisting them in their work, but you have indeed contributed a lot in these two aspects."

Jiang Bai suddenly felt bored when he heard this, since the supporting roles were not listed, then there was no need to report the others, it was obvious that Cheng Xiaodong and Tan Dun had done the main work in terms of action and music.

"Director Zhang, no need, let's report the names of the two teachers, it's okay if you can't get the rating, if you really evaluate me, I'll be scolded, although I am also involved in these two aspects, but the two of them are big bosses in the industry after all, if I go on stage to win this award, I guess I will be scolded to death when I turn around."

"Hahaha, are you still afraid of this?" Zhang Yi said with a smile.

"Of course I'm afraid, if someone else says that I'm leaving Zhang Dao's relationship, how bad is it to spread it?"

In this way, Jiang Bai declined Zhang Yi's kindness.

But Jiang Bai didn't plan to participate in these two awards, so there would be no need to go over with him at that time, and then none of them said this, but chatted about Zhang Yi's next play.

The success of this step in transforming into an action commercial film gave Zhang Yi a taste of sweetness, so he plans to continue filming costume action movies in the next step.

"When the time comes, I want you to be the starring role."

"No problem." Jiang Bai agreed in one bite, and if he could cooperate with Zhang Yimou, a fool would refuse.

In this way, after Jiang Bai finished shooting the last shot, he planned to return to China.

Before leaving, the Wachowski brothers also specially held a party for Jiang Bai, inviting many celebrities and celebrities in the industry.

But Jiang Bai, who was eager to return to China, ignored the hints in their eyes, and then took a day out to buy some gifts for everyone, and then got on the plane back to China.

……

"It's finally back."

After landing on the ground, Jiang Bai stretched.

"yes, I'm finally back, and now I think about the house I rented was a loss, I paid nine months' rent, but I didn't live in it for a day." Su Rou said with a sigh.

"Hahaha, I'm still worried about your rent, follow me on a business trip, the business trip fee alone is several times your rent, if you are in Yanjing all day, you will take your salary of 800 yuan a month, how much money can you save after paying the rent?"

"That's just as well." Su Rou nodded.

During this time in Australia, Jiang Bai was basically there for four or five days a week, and the postures that could be unlocked had basically been unlocked.

Sometimes Su Rou doesn't have the energy to accompany Jiang Bai to film during the day.

Although she was also very happy in the process, but now that she is finally back, she also thinks that she can finally rest for a while, after all, she has not practiced martial arts, and she is not as energetic as Jiang Bai.
