In addition to IMDb's rating, Rotten Tomatoes also gave a positive review on the first day.

Of course, in addition to good reviews, there are also many people who give bad reviews. Are there any bad parts to the movie Alita: Battle Angel?

Of course there is, and not a lot.

For example, some people criticize Alita as a super strong existence herself, why should she prove herself in the bottom society? She's just abusing vegetables in Scrap Iron Town, and it's not intense at all.

For another example, someone summed up this movie as a youth story, and changed the story to look like this: a disabled girl who grew up under the careful care of her doctor's father, of course, falls in love with the first delinquent teenager who passes by the door of her house on a motorcycle, and wants to save enough money with him to go to the big city together, so she spends every day in a quarrel with her father. The boy helped her discover her talent in rugby, and the two agreed to start their New York dream from here. Unexpectedly, on the day of the final, the boy was targeted by the gangsters, and the girl had to rush out of the arena to save her lover. In the end, the boy died on the road to chasing his dream, and the girl shouldered the dream of the two and stood on the green field again......

Some criticize the plot, some criticize the character, and some criticize the male protagonist for being like a soy sauce ......

However, negative reviews are not mainstream after all, the mainstream is still the excellent special effects, wonderful action scenes, cute Alita characters, grand story backgrounds, and cyberpunk style pictures......

These advantages alone are enough to attract thousands of movie fans to the theater to support, because the audience will not care about the so-called 'negative reviews', because they are acceptable to them.

Any movie has negative reviews, including Avatar, the highest-grossing movie in film history, let alone a movie like Alita: Battle Angel.

At half past three in the morning, He Fang and his entourage landed at Hong Kong Airport, and it was good to have a private jet, and they could take off at any time, without accommodating the flight and time.

"Hey, I just saw the crew of "Alita" go through the VIP channel, where is the money to buy a private jet, and now we can't block it." A reporter said hatefully.

"It's okay, let's go to Shangri-La to block, they have to stay in a hotel." Maybe you can take a photo of him Pan Zhilin's room? If you shoot it, won't you send it? ”

"Yes, go, go, go......"

But in fact, the reporters' wishes were disappointed, because as soon as everyone arrived at the hotel, they continued to sleep and went to the door? What kind of door to string?

Besides, Pan Zhilin and He Fang have long been old birds in the entertainment industry, and will they visit this kind of hotel? Or in Hong Kong, where paparazzi are running all over the place?

The next day, the first day of the Lunar New Year.

The global box office was released, and North America won $8.21 million on the first day, which was tepid, mainly on weekdays. This is the last time Hollywood pressed "Operation Mekong" after He Fang gave the whole thing in the second half of 2014 Hollywood movies in the second half of 2014 in Chinese mainland box office, this time they once again let go of He Fang's film publicity.

Both sides tacitly expressed that they do not restrict each other, and the normal publicity and distribution process.

The $8.21 million box office doesn't look like a blockbuster box office, so it's a box office that doesn't go up or down, and you can't say that people are suppressing you, but you just feel like it's a little unexpectedly low.

It doesn't matter, as long as Chinese films can be promoted around the world normally, it doesn't matter if anyone uses a little means to press it, it doesn't affect the overall situation.

How did the rest of the world outside of North America perform on day one? According to statistics, it won $20.53 million, which is also due to weekdays, and the box office is average.

"Happy New Year, Wishing you prosperity." That's right, this is the first thing everyone says to others after waking up on the first day of the new year.

Then prepare a red envelope, the amount in the red envelope is not much, 20 Hong Kong dollars is enough, and RMB is fine. Of course, if you want to look like you're rich, you can seal 20×2, or ×5, or even more.

Several of the main creator's red envelope assistants have been prepared for a long time, and the assistants carry a big backpack, which is full of red envelopes for the artists they serve.

When they had breakfast early and were ready to gather downstairs to go out, reporters gathered around to ask for profits.

"Miss Pan Zhilin, Happy New Year, Wishing you prosperity." Pan Zhilin came down quickly and was immediately surrounded by reporters.

"Happy New Year, everyone, fortune, fortune." As she spoke, she took a red envelope from her assistant and gave one to each reporter.

After she finished handing out the red envelopes, the reporters choked up.

"Miss Pan Zhilin, how do you feel about finally becoming the heroine of where you are? Does it mean that you have the last laugh in the competition with several other female stars? Have you established a relationship with whom? ”

"......" Pan Zhilin was speechless, she just sent a red envelope, you ask this kind of question?

"Of course I'm happy to be the heroine, it proves that my ability meets the requirements of Director He." Pan Zhilin only answered the first half of the questions, and she didn't answer the next questions.

Now the reporter quit.

"Miss Pan Zhilin, you haven't answered the following questions, have you confirmed your relationship with whom? How did you beat the other Fang girls? ”

"What relationship do I have with whom director? We are the relationship between the director and the actor, what relationship do you want to hear? Besides, why should I defeat the other girls? I don't have a competitive relationship with them. ”

Pan Zhilin denied.

"I heard where you went to the director's room last night?"

"Did you get it? When I photographed it, I quickly sent it to the newspaper, and the sales could increase a lot. Pan Zhilin said with a smile.

"So you mean you actually went last night?" Journalists were excited.

"Do you have any evidence that I didn't go? If there is evidence, take it out, and if there is no evidence, don't talk about this kind of chasing after the wind. Pan Zhilin retorted.

"Can't you give some news for the Chinese New Year?" Some reporters are in a hurry.

"No, even if you want news, you can't spread rumors, right? Write a few more articles about the movie. ”

"Hey, Director He, Director He, just now Miss Pan Zhilin admitted that she went to your room last night, what happened to you?" When the reporters saw where he had come down, they immediately blocked it.

These reporters are also smart, a few people surround Pan Zhilin, and a few people surround Hefang, not allowing them to talk to each other.

"Huh? She confessed? He Fang pretended to be surprised.

"yes, yes, she confessed."

"I'll go, that's a good loss, I didn't see her all night, did she go into the wrong room? Wouldn't that be cheaper for other men? He Fang said regretfully.

The "......" reporters were speechless and despised He Fang's performance of telling lies.

"Then if you go into the wrong room and sleep with the wrong man, do you still want her?" A reporter also asked quickly in the brain circuit.

"Do you want her to cooperate? There must be a chance, it depends on whether there are suitable roles in future movies. Of course, the sequel to "Alita" still has to be filmed by her. He Fang pretended not to understand.

"No, I mean ......"

"Okay, for the New Year, don't talk about those shadowless things. Come, come, come, send red envelopes, send red envelopes......" He Fang said and took the red envelope from Tong Weidong's hand to distribute to everyone.

……

There is nothing special about Hong Kong's publicity, that is, I went to a movie theater event, two shopping mall activities, plus a fan meeting in the evening, which is basically full.

Although there are only two stars in this movie that Hong Kong audiences can call them, He Fang's fame is enough.

Moreover, Pan Zhilin's sweet image is also slightly inferior to the previous four beauties in Hong Kong, she has also played the main role in several He Fang movies, and the scandal about her and He Fang is often seen in Hong Kong gossip news.

is mainly those who write "Where Are the Women Who Have to Say ......" will always give Pan Zhilin a place, and write it vividly, how they met, how they had a relationship, and how they quarreled for other women......

Tsk, in short, people who don't know the truth really think that they have a tortuous love comparable to Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu.

There's no way, the media in Hong Kong is not easy to mix, there is nothing to write about the gossip news in Hong Kong, so I have to write something from the mainland, and he is also an international director in the mainland, and the news is watched.

The propaganda tour in Hong Kong was relatively smooth, although Hong Kong reporters were blocked in the middle and asked a few questions about the 2014 'Occupy Central' incident. But He Fang and the crew of "Alita" avoided it and did not answer these questions.

Before, he estimated that he would choke.

But since the last time he exposed the TV circle incident, he has understood that at his level, he should not easily stand on the front line of public opinion and face people, it is meaningless and easy to be used.

So now he's learning to be obedient and doesn't discuss politics anymore.

Of course, those fans who like him don't like him like this, they still like the attitude of He Fang who dares to speak up about some things.

After the final publicity, several friends in the Hong Kong film industry invited He Fang and his party, and it is rare to get together with He Fang several times a year. This mainland superboss is not something they can afford to offend, and even they still hope to cooperate and use the cooperation with Tuanhuo Culture to make more money.

"Director He, you see that Hong Kong is so chaotic now, you have to help the Hong Kong film industry get through this difficulty." Yang Shoucheng said to He Fang, who was surrounded by everyone, at the cocktail party.

"Help, definitely help. But you have to change it yourself, I didn't see a newcomer in the 2014 Hong Kong movie as the starring role. Or I don't see a newcomer under the age of 30 as the starring role, all of them are post-50s, post-60s, post-70s still rushing for resources, and there are few post-80s, not to mention post-90s actors, none of you have been trained.

Everyone, have you ever thought about it, if you post-50s, post-60s, and post-70s get old, who can carry the banner of Hong Kong movies? Does that mean that Hong Kong movies will be declared finished in the future? Have our mainland companies helped you, have you helped, look at the movies that were a little popular in Hong Kong in the past, which one did not have the investment of mainland companies? Which one didn't make a big box office in the mainland?

But with the help of the mainland, you also have to have a plan yourself. The first actor must bring forth the new, and the second movie must be new. In this way, Hong Kong films will have a future, otherwise...... This year is the first day of the Lunar New Year, so let's say something auspicious.

Everyone says that there are no Hong Kong actors in my movies, but in fact, my movies use a lot of Hong Kong behind-the-scenes staff, and even our Tuanhuo culture also uses a lot of Hong Kong behind-the-scenes personnel.

As for actors, if there are Hong Kong female artists who are sweeter than Pan Zhilin, it is not impossible to use them. But what about people? Where? What you want me to use is nothing more than the post-60s and post-70s, but my movies don't need it. I want young people, but what about your young people? Are there any that meet the standards? Is there anyone who has a good image and good acting skills, and then works very hard, and will do things for others?

If so, why didn't I see it every time I auditioned for actors? Do you have to ask me to come and invite me? Everyone went to the auditions, why didn't they go? I don't want to talk about this bad phenomenon of Hong Kong films, but I never thought of making Hong Kong movies die, and I hope that Hong Kong movies can be as prosperous as they were in the 80s.

In the past, you said that there was no market, but in the past few years, I have helped Hong Kong films develop the mainland market, which can make you make a lot of money, right? In the past, you said that there was no investment, but every one of your blockbusters over the years has had investment from the mainland, right?

In the past, you said that there was no technology, but now the special effects technology of Huying Group is not the first in the world, but it is also the top three, and the cost is several times lower than that of foreign countries. The technology, market, and investment are all done well, and now it is a bit unbearable to say that your Hong Kong films are going to die.

Ladies and gentlemen, I don't want to say something that everyone doesn't like to hear. But, as you know, I don't come to Hong Kong a few times a year. Therefore, if I have the opportunity to say it, I will say it, and I will not engage in that set of polite words that are good to you, I will say it if it is useful to you, as for whether you will scold me when you hear it, then I don't care. ”
