Chapter 149 Overseas Box Office Soars, Inviting International Superstars (Ask for Subscription!) )
Really.
With the impetus of the Civil Aviation Authority.
The overseas release was also faster than expected.
Even half a month after its release in China, it has begun to be publicized abroad.
Although the intensity of propaganda is not as strong as in China.
With the popularity of tap water, many netizens abroad still learned about this movie.
They commented on Twitter or YouTube.
"Oh my gosh, is Director Song going to release a new movie?"
"It seems that the prototype is still the Huaxia Airlines incident."
"Is he going to make a plane crash movie?"
"Oh my God, I don't think many of our big companies here have made good films, can Director Song really do it?"
Compared to domestic reviews.
Foreign netizens have a lot of doubts about this.
After all, the air crash film is not the previous "Heroes of Fire", and the air crash theme needs a lot of special effects.
Does Song Hao really have such an ability?
However, YouTube blogger Donnie, who has been praising "Heroes of Fire" before, posted a video.
"You absolutely can't believe that "Captain Huaxia" is based on an accident in Huaxia, under the real lens, the captain turned the tide and let more than 100 passengers safe and sound."
"Believe me, this movie will definitely be like the Heroes of Fire that you saw last year."
This video of Donnie also made many foreign netizens curious.
After all, the last time "Heroes of Fire", he recommended it to the big guys.
Now, "Captain Huaxia" is highly recommended again, so some netizens have also expressed their support when the time comes.
is different from the last "Heroes of Fire", this time "Captain Huaxia" has a lot more films from the beginning.
Some theaters in the United States have been released, and some international students have come to support.
Of course, there are also some foreign netizens who came to watch.
Jack is one of them.
At dinner two days ago, his friend boasted that Huaxia had produced a very good air crash movie.
And I want to invite him to see it.
But Jack, as a veteran who had ever flown a fighter plane, did not have much interest.
Even the roller coaster of the playground, he sat calmly and calmly over and over again.
"Don't make a fuss, those air crash movies don't all do special effects." Jack wasn't going to see it.
But his friend Schneider still insisted on taking him with him.
Come to the theater.
Originally, Jack thought that no one would come to watch such a Chinese movie.
But I didn't expect to buy the ticket, but I was told by the waiter that there were only two rows in the back.
Jack asked a little puzzled, "Are the seats in front sold out?" ”
The waiter explained, "Yes, sir, it is indeed sold out." ”
This surprised Jack.
Schneider said even more excitedly: "Hey, old man, this movie is really good, I don't lie to you." ”
Jack gave him a blank look: "You also know what I used to do, these ordinary air crash movies, do you think I will be interested?" ”
"If you're not interested, let's talk about it." Schneider pushed him into the theater.
At first, Jack was a little helpless.
But thinking that this was his friend's intention after all, he had to calm down and watch.
Be with your brother.
After entering the theater, Jack didn't expect there to be so many people.
Not only Chinese students, but also many foreign audiences.
It seems that what will be released after a while is not a Chinese movie, but a Hollywood blockbuster.
He didn't have time to think about it, he followed his friend's figure and came to the seat to wait quietly.
The plot content at the beginning is very conventional.
Jack didn't even feel the slightest stimulus.
But when the movie aired half an hour later, the plot officially entered.
The front windshield of the plane began to crack.
This made Jack's eyes, which was already a little drowsy, widen suddenly.
Schneider on the side also asked, "Hey, man, what will happen to this broken front windshield?" ”
"What else can I do? The worst outcome is the death of two captains and the destruction of the plane. Jack, who was born in a fighter jet, naturally understands what the consequences of a broken windshield will bring.
He is now a little curious and wants to know the follow-up to this movie.
At this moment, Schneider added: "I heard that this movie is based on real events in China, as if the plane at that time also had a broken front windshield." ”
Jack was shocked when he heard this: "Are you saying that on such a high mountain, nearly 10,000 meters in the air, the glass is broken?" ”
"That's right." Schneider nodded: "But the plane landed safely in the end, and the captain was very powerful, so I brought you here." ”
Hearing this, Jack felt incredible.
He thinks that at an altitude of nearly 10,000 meters, if the front windshield of the plane is broken, the cockpit will quickly lose temperature, which is minus 40!!
All kinds of instruments can be damaged.
And under the plane are mountains and rivers.
Under such circumstances, the captain can still drive the plane back to the ground and land safely??!
Besides, half of the co-pilot's body is still outside the cabin.
Now it's minus 40 outside, and if you don't pull the co-pilot back, it's very likely that you will lose temperature and freeze to death there.
Jack felt a little incredulous.
But as the plot develops.
He found that every step made by the captain in the play was a textbook operation.
He even specially adjusted the direction of the plane in order to save the co-pilot.
It's like fighting against death.
Desperately try to get people back from the Grim Reaper!!
This also made Jack sit up and watch the next plot carefully.
Schneider on the side also found that Jack, who was scolding at the beginning, is now more serious than anyone else.
It's really fragrant!!
With the captain's extraordinary perseverance, the plane was finally parked on the runway of the airport.
For a while, the vehicles of ambulances, fire trucks and other departments all rushed in the direction of the plane.
The end result was that all but two crew members were injured, and all the passengers were unharmed.
One by one, they thanked the captain.
And the captain also looked at everyone in shock, and there was still a bit of trance in his mind.
The movie ends successfully.
Schneider also praised at the end moment: "God, this movie is so good, right?" Jack. ”
Jack looked at Schneider and asked, "Is this really a real event?" ”
"That's right, I don't believe you searched the Internet for a broken windshield of the Huaxia plane." Schneider explained.
Jack searched.
Soon he found the information of that year.
Reading the original text, he realized how ignorant he was just now.
It turns out that everything in the play is a real adaptation.
Including the co-pilot at that time, he also appeared outside the cabin with half his body.
At that time, the altitude was also nearly 10,000 meters.
There are mountains and rivers underneath.
It was in such a harsh environment that it was almost impossible to survive that the captain used his extraordinary skills to successfully send the plane back to the airport.
"It's horrible, it's crazy." Jack said repeatedly.
Schneider listened to his emotion, and then teased: "Hey, man, if it's you, can you guarantee that this plane will be sent back to the airport safely?" ”
Jack shook his head and finally said, "No, I don't have that ability. ”
Schneider also laughed rarely: "I didn't expect that my old buddy still has a humble side." ”
Jack then introduced the film to his other veterans.
"Captain Huaxia" soon became popular abroad.
Although the number of films scheduled is not much, with the support of Song Hao, many foreigners who like Chinese movies have also gone to watch movies.
For this reason, some people also compare "Captain Huaxia" with "Captain Sully" previously filmed abroad.
Some people think "Captain Huaxia" is good.
Some people think "Captain Sully" is more realistic.
The people of the two factions also kept arguing.
And when Downey learned about it.
He was also angry and made a video to complain about this behavior.
"I really didn't expect to compare "Captain Huaxia" with "Captain Sully"!"
“Shit! The two movies are not the same genre at all, how can they compare? "Captain Huaxia" is a complete air crash film, which restores the Sichuan Airlines incident with a very high degree of restoration! The whole movie has a tight plot and there is no mud and water! It is to promote the danger of the Chinese crew and take the safety of passengers' lives as the first mission! ”
"And the film "Captain Sully" uses the successful forced landing on the river after the plane crash as an introduction to ridicule the people of the Investigation Bureau for having no brains, according to the results of computer simulations, to try the captain who saved people, and finally after a series of sand sculpture operations, it was proved that when the plane had an accident, the hero captain who saved people was right at that time!"
"I'm not saying that Captain Sully is bad, it's actually a good movie! But there are always some people on the Internet who compare two completely different movies of a different nature?! ”
As soon as this review video was released, those who boasted about "Captain Sully" also became quieter.
Indeed, Captain Sully at that time almost faced jail time for driving the plane on the river.
The Bureau of Investigation did not even think about saving the passengers safely.
Instead, countless simulations were conducted, and the final result was the hero captain at the time, and his judgment was correct.
This also led to his eventual escape from prison.
But "Captain Huaxia" is different, and really puts saving people first.
This is also where the ideas promoted by the two films differ.
"Captain Huaxia" gradually became popular abroad.
The foreign Civil Aviation Survey Bureau also realized that something was wrong, and they ordered major theaters to stop scheduling "Captain Huaxia".
After all, the last time because of the release of "Fire Heroes", many people were dissatisfied with their firefighters.
Now Huaxia's "Captain Huaxia" is the same.
So the above also forcibly intervened.
In the face of such an encounter, foreign movie lovers are naturally not worthy.
They protested aggressively and even wrote letters.
In desperation, the Civil Aviation Investigation Bureau did not dare to make a statement, so it could only let "Captain Huaxia" continue to be released.
In less than a week, the box office had reached $4.7 million.
The results are even better than Song Hao expected.
And the domestic side.
"Captain Huaxia" still maintains a strong momentum.
At present, it is approaching 2.4 billion.
Major software has also predicted the box office data of "Captain Huaxia".
They all think that "Captain Huaxia" can break through 3 billion.
It is even possible to surpass "I Am Not the God of Medicine".
Of course, this is only possible.
After all, the movie "I Am Not the God of Medicine" is a phenomenal work.
Song Hao didn't care too much.
These days.
He has already completed the script for Ocean Paradise.
He then invited Xue Lu to the office again.
When Xue Lu looked at the script of "Ocean Paradise" handed over by Song Hao, she was dumbfounded.
Song Hao is a geek, he already knew it.
Not only can he direct plays, but he can also write his own scripts.
But what she never expected was that Song Hao would also write literary films.
This autism-themed story is also very touching.
It's as if you've seen it with your own eyes or experienced it yourself.
Xue Lu looked at this script and couldn't put it down.
She looked at Song Hao with some joy and asked cautiously, "Director Song, is this script really filmed for me?" ”
Song Hao nodded: "Yes, what do you think of this script?" ”
"Good, very good." Xue Lu was very happy, as if she was holding a priceless treasure in her hand.
She knows what it is like for people with autism and understands that they need more care.
So being able to make a movie about such a theme by yourself can be regarded as a small contribution to this kind of special group.
Immediately afterwards, Xue Lu asked again: "Director Song, who are the actors?" ”
"I'm still helping you contact the actors, you don't have to worry, you read this script thoroughly first, and put your emotions into it as much as possible." Song Hao explained.
Xue Lu replied: "Okay, don't worry, Director Song, I will definitely do it with a 100% attitude." ”
After Xue Lu left, Song Hao also stood up and prepared to leave.
He's got an appointment with an international superstar.
Actor Mr. Li Lianjie.
As early as two days ago, when Li Lianjie learned that Song Hao invited him to film, he was also very interested.
And it's also a literary drama.
This surprised him even more.
So the two made an appointment to meet.
In the box of a high-end hotel, Song Hao met Li Lianjie who was drinking tea.
Maybe he hasn't been filming much over the years, and he is rarely active in everyone's sight.
It's a little older.
But the spirit is still there.
Song Hao hurriedly stepped forward and stretched out his hand respectfully, "Teacher Li, hello." ”
Li Lianjie is also very humble, he nodded with a smile: "Come on, please take a seat." ”
"Mr. Li, this time I invited you to shoot a literary drama, why don't you read the script first?" Song Hao took out the script.
Li Lianjie was also very interested: "Okay, to be honest, this is the first time you have asked me to film a literary drama for so many years." ”
In the end, he took the script and read it carefully.
Looking at it, Li Lianjie seemed to be emotional.
His eyes were a little moist.
Half an hour later, he looked at Song Hao and said, "I'll shoot this story for you for free, without any pay." ”
After hearing this, Song Hao also thanked: "Thank you Teacher Li for your support." ”
Then he also said what he thought: "By the way, Mr. Li, I plan to release this movie for free, and we will authorize multiple video platforms to broadcast it for free." ”
As soon as these words came out, Li Lianjie, who had already admired Song Hao very much, suddenly gave a thumbs up and even admired it!
