345 is really a box office waterloo

He Fang's gentle expression made some people think seriously, and also made the reporters who refuted not know how to match the line.

Because he hasn't tried it either, how can he refute this?

"Director He, are you saying that Chinese passports are better to use overseas than American passports?" The reporter asked again what everyone thought was 'nonsense'.

"No, I mean that having a Chinese passport makes you safer overseas than having a U.S. passport overseas, not better. It is easy to use, and it must be easy to use European and American passports, which can do a lot of things abroad.

However, when it comes to the work of embassies in ensuring the safety of their citizens, Europe and the United States are not necessarily comparable to China. "Why don't you let reporters take advantage of the loopholes?

"Then why is Europe and the United States not as good as China doing to ensure the safety of their citizens overseas? What is the reason? "Now there are fans who are interested.

"The European and American governments talk about interests, and if it is not in line with the safety and interests of an overseas citizen, they will not go. The Chinese government, on the other hand, is people-oriented, which means that the government's job is to serve the whole people, so if citizens overseas encounter security difficulties, then the government must serve the people.

So, why did things like "Operation Mekong" happen? This is to demonstrate the national prestige of our country and prevent similar incidents from happening in the future. If there is something like this in the future, we will take more drastic action than the Mekong Initiative. ”

Bang Bang Bang ...... The fans applauded and cheered.

In fact, he is to quote from the side to tell Hong Kong people that holding a Chinese passport is not useless as they think, but a drag, it is beneficial, what BNO passport is actually useless, especially when human life is concerned.

Of course, it is useless for you to say many things 10,000 times, only when others experience them once, they will understand what the truth is.

For example, some entrepreneurs feel that the United States and the West and the private banks of the United States and the West are safer, more secure, and better able to protect their private property. And then...... One day in 2022, the United States and the West proved what a ridiculous statement it was that the so-called 'sanctity of private property' by the United States and the West was a scramble to rob the private property of the Russians.

Then one day in 2023, the United States once again told the rich Chinese who kept their money in American banks that the so-called 'sanctity of private property' could be directly confiscated through bank bankruptcy.

Therefore, it is useless to say a lot of things, and now he doesn't want to talk about it, and people will criticize him for being a 'patriotic thief'. So, if you don't persuade a damned ghost with good words, what's the use of you persuading some people to die? The more you persuade him, the more he thinks that your purpose is not pure, and the more he will work against you.

"Director He, just now you said that "Operation Mekong" is showing the prestige of the country, so is this a propaganda film? Is it a threat to a foreign country? At this time, the reporter caught a loophole and immediately asked.

"The real Mekong operation is showing the prestige of the country, and my film is just a screen movie based on real events, and the movie is not a weapon that can threaten others, and there is no movie that can threaten other countries.

Whose movies can threaten other countries? Hollywood movies OK? Is there a Hong Kong movie line? Don't equate cinema with the power of some kind of weapon, these are two different things. He Fang retorted solemnly.

"Wu Jing, you have been developing in the Hong Kong film industry, how do you feel after returning to the mainland for development over the years?" At this time, someone asked Wu Jing a question, not asking where he was, where his combat effectiveness was too strong.

"There are no big differences in feelings, if you want to talk about different feelings, what is the difference between filming in the same country? Many of the teams I work with in the Mainland are also based in Hong Kong. Everyone didn't think there was any difference, they were all the same filming. "Wu Jing has been mixed for a long time, and he is also comfortable dealing with reporters.

"Do you have any plans to make another film in Hollywood in the near future?"

"Yes, the sequel to "Fast Pursuit" still needs to be filmed, and that series is very popular."

"If you can develop in Hollywood, why do you want to go back to China to make films?" That's always the way journalists ask...... Mentally retarded.

"Jackie Chan is also developing in Hollywood, he doesn't have to go back to China to film, it's not a conflict." Wu Jing's clever counterattack.

"Do you think you are helping the government to make a patriotic film like "Operation Mekong"? Will it affect your star development? ”

"It's an honor for me to make a film like 'Operation Mekong', and I don't think it will affect my development, but it will help my personal development because I have found a new breakthrough." Wu Jing retorted.

"I heard that you have a feud with Donnie Yen, are you still in touch now? Will you say hello when you meet? ”

"Huh? It's the first time I've heard in the media that I'm at odds with him, and I wouldn't have known about it if you hadn't told me. Wu Jing's humorous counterattack.

The audience burst into laughter.

"Some mainland actors say that the Hong Kong film industry is too xenophobic, like you, you are all excluded back to the mainland, do you think this is true?"

"I went back to the mainland because there are more resources in the mainland, and people always have to survive, after 2000, the resources of Hong Kong films have become less and less, and I can't receive any dramas in Hong Kong, but I can receive dramas in the mainland, so I slowly returned to the mainland to develop."

Wu Jing cleverly avoided the topic of 'xenophobia in the Hong Kong film industry', and only talked about why he returned to the mainland to develop.

"As someone who has been in the Hong Kong film industry, what do you think is the reason why mainland films surpass Hong Kong films? What should Hong Kong films improve? The reporter's questions to Wu Jing became more and more in-depth.

Wu Jing turned his head blankly, and then thought for a moment.

"I can't answer this question, I'm not engaged in film research, I'm just an actor. In fact, I just think that I will go wherever there is an opportunity, the same Hong Kong filmmakers thought that South Korea had an opportunity and went to South Korea to develop a group of people, and later felt that the mainland had an opportunity, and now many people go to the mainland to develop. If you want to ask them what problems arise in Hong Kong movies and how to change them, I believe many people can't answer them. ”

The reporters saw that they couldn't squeeze anything, so they turned around and asked Pan Zhilin.

"Miss Pan Zhilin, as one of He Fang's girls, has never gotten the heroine of Director He Fang, why do you still play a supporting role in his movie?"

Pan Zhilin shook it, shook it, raised the microphone and replied: "You can learn a lot of things, Director He can teach people a lot of things on the set, I'm still young, and I'm not in a hurry to be the heroine." ”

"So you've been waiting for someone to give you a chance?"

"I think your information is lagging behind, in the new movie directed by He Fang, which was completed in May this year, Pan Zhilin is the heroine." Wu Jing interjected and reminded.

"......" this reporter is a little embarrassed, how can he, a Hong Kong reporter, care about the information of mainland films.

"So, has Miss Pan Zhilin succeeded in ascending to the position? I heard that you are the Fang girl who is most attentive to Director Fang, are you two in love? ”

"Giggles......" Pan Zhilin covered her mouth and smiled. Many people want to spread the scandal with Director He, if I can spread the scandal with him, the popularity should be very high, right? But the truth is that we're not in a relationship. ”

"Do you not want to, or who does the director not want to?" The reporter gossiped: "Did you chase him?" ”

"It's not a question of whether you want to or not...... I didn't chase him, we just had a working relationship. ”

"Is it that you don't like him or what's wrong? Why don't you chase him with such good contact conditions? Or does it mean that the director only likes foreign girls? "Reporters like Pan Zhilin, because they unknowingly fell into their trap.

If you ask further, there are many possibilities. For example, the secret of how Fang is in love with a foreign girl, such as the evidence of Pan Zhilin's crush, such as ......

"Ahem, ahem, Pan Zhilin is still relatively simple, and he can't stand your inducement to engage in gossip news, it's almost right." He interrupted the reporters' questions.

……

Next came the autograph and group photo session of the fan meeting......

After they finished this activity, the next thing they had to participate in was the program recording, but at this time, the media reporters had already compiled today's interview into news and sent it out.

"Where: [Operation Mekong] is to promote national prestige and deter foreign countries"

"Where to be: Chinese passports are more secure than European and American passports"

Operation Mekong: Displaying Advanced Weapons to Intimidate Other Countries

"Wu Jing: It's an honor to be able to star in [Operation Mekong]"

"Pan Zhilin's Unsuccessful Pursuit"

"Where has the Fang girl been obsessed for a long time"

……

What can these Hong Kong media say? For the sake of news, they will never be polite, and they will be as cheap as they can.

Fortunately, they didn't go to Singapore that night, otherwise they would have been even more excited if they were filmed discussing the glow-in-the-dark script with Pan Zhilin late at night? That newspaper sales will definitely increase N-fold.

And with the rendering of the media, the movie was officially released, and some fans also participated in the discussion.

"To tell you the truth, the movie is very good, the story is compact, and I feel that the police are resolute, without a trace of nonsense, and directly punish those who dare to harm Chinese citizens. And the biggest attraction of this movie is the new weapons and equipment, it feels very sci-fi, but I was told that only the robot dog is fake and the others are real, I was really shocked. ”

"I didn't expect China's weapons and equipment to be so advanced, I always thought that they relied on crowd tactics and used obsolete weapons. However, they used advanced and sci-fi equipment such as unmanned reconnaissance and combat all-in-one aircraft, small unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, and unmanned tanks, which were very enjoyable to watch. ”

"It's true that this movie is quite shocking, especially in neighboring countries and regions, and you have to be careful if you want to do something to Chinese citizens in the future."

"Is China finally showing its fangs? How did our neighbor develop so badly without a sound? Luckily, we have American GIs here to protect us, otherwise I would have been worried that they would have done something wrong. SmetΓ‘. ”

"Oh, the equipment shown here is no worse than that of the U.S. military, I haven't seen such advanced weapons and equipment at the open day of the U.S. military base in Yokota, the island nation has to work hard, and the U.S. military has to be careful." Chinese dad is really scary, worthy of the existence that we have admired for thousands of years. ”

"Don't pretend? I'm afraid the weapons shown in the movie are comparable to the U.S. military, right? If China's police and military operations have such equipment, according to Chinese principles, how advanced weapons do their ace armies have to use? ”

"So does that mean that their stealth plane, the J-20, is not that shoddy product?"

"Ha, upstairs, the world's second only F22 aircraft, you say it's a shoddy aircraft? Everyone has always underestimated whether China's strength is good or not, and people have already shown the fifth-generation aircraft, but everyone insists on taking the initiative to smear and help China downgrade, saying that they can't do it. As a result, when people walked, everyone said that they hid their strength again, which was really laughing to death. ”

"That robot dog is scary, if China really has such a weapon, doesn't it mean that the battlefield in the future will be full of dense robot dogs with submachine guns on their backs? Who can still fight? ”

"Don't be afraid, Boston Dynamics developed it as early as 2005, and that's true, and this one in Operation Mekong is fake."

"Who knows if it's true or not? What if it's true, and then they deliberately say it's false? ”

"Hiss......"

"Does this movie really have such powerful weaponry? Then I'm going to see ......."

……

Some people may not think that it is precisely because "Operation Mekong" has these weapons and equipment that it has aroused the interest of international fans, and the display of muscles not only did not deter international fans, but attracted international fans.

It's just a pity that their schedule has been squeezed.

In fact, you can see the real-time box office data on the Maoyan APP, and they know what the box office data is before zero o'clock, but the data that crosses the zero point is more accurate.

The domestic box office of "Operation Mekong" on the first day was 241.91 million, or 241.9 million yuan, according to the forecast of the box office on the first day, Maoyan's experts predicted a box office of 3 billion, and it is obvious that this will be a very successful film in China.

But...... However, at present, the international box office is very unsatisfactory, for example, the island country has always been the third largest box office, and the box office contribution of He Fang's films in the Asian box office island countries is very large.

However, the first-day box office of "Operation Mekong" only received 64.5 million yen, or $750,000, which is far from the box office data of the usual He Fang movie in the island country.

Take "X-Men: Days of Future Past" as an example, the first day box office of this movie in the island country was 778.9 million yen or about 9.05 million US dollars, and this "Operation Mekong" was only a month apart from the box office on the first day of release, and it did not even have one-tenth of "X-Men: Days of Future Past", which is really a serious dive.

Obviously, it is the control of the film schedule, and the island countries are reluctant to release "Operation Mekong", if it is not for Warner's global distribution, it is estimated that it will be difficult for this film to even enter the island country market.

This is also the case in South Korea, where the first-day box office of "Operation Mekong" was even less than $200,000, about more than 200 million won.

Only Hong Kong is more normal, with a box office of 8.13 million Hong Kong dollars and about $1.03 million on the first day.

"He Fang's new film has taken a big jump at the box office, and the momentum of continuous box office growth is about to be interrupted"

"Where is the new movie to intimidate other countries unsuccessfully, the international market will not buy it"

"International Fans Boycott Chinese Muscle Show Films"

"Where is the box office of the movie really Waterloo, about to fall off the altar"

……

Ask for a monthly pass on the first day of September to get me off to a good start! Thank you very much!
