Huayu Zhihao

Chapter 172 Blockbuster Era
It can be seen from the layout of the venue that the film crew has high hopes for "Hero" to win the award, and they did apply for the Olympic qualification in August.

As a martial arts masterpiece directed by a well-known director, "Hero" will inevitably be compared with "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

The first thing the media asked was whether "Hero" would win an Oscar like "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

Different from Zhang Weiping's self-confidence, Guoshi is a little low-key, "Personally, I don't have much hope that the film will win an award, and I don't expect the miracle that happened in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" to repeat itself."

Another Baodao reporter asked the national teacher to talk about the advantages and disadvantages of "Hero" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

Guoshi readily replied: "It is not objective to compare the good and bad of two films, but I like "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" very much.

After the premiere of the film that year, I told Li Shun that it is rare to see such an intellectual sentiment of melancholy and loss in martial arts films.

In fact, I think these two films have two personalities, one south and one north. "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is the delicate, poetic, and even the tone of the south; "Hero" is like us northerners, the desert Lone Smoke..."

When answering reporters' questions, among the leading actors, Manshen, who is undoubtedly the most star-flavored, the most well-dressed, and the most energetic, is the most brilliant.

She didn't answer many questions, and she used words more carefully, but her natural nobleness invisibly compared with the international chapter who answered reporters' questions from time to time but always acted "modestly" in words.

One can't help but imagine that one is mature and generous, and the other is a little immature and reserved, which coincides with the roles of the two of them in the film.

……

After the press conference, it was finally time for "Hero" to be released.

The scenes of the film are huge, imposing, the pictures are beautiful, the characters are almost accurate, the virtual and real design of martial arts is perfect, and the details of every shot are ingenious.

The special effects are also enough to shock the current mainland audience, especially Qin Jun's terrifying arrow rain, which made many audiences on the scene couldn't help but lean back, trying to avoid the murderous aura.

Chen Hao also watched it with great interest, but Chen Hao also knew that this martial arts masterpiece, which was named the top ten best films of the year by Time Magazine in 2004, was not liked by domestic film critics.

They feel that behind all the beautiful costumes, beautiful scenery and ancient folk customs, the charm of the characters is slightly insufficient.

Film critics think that the fallen leaves are bleak, the clothes are fluttering, and the yellow sand is dancing, but they don't see the heroic spirit soaked in the bone marrow.

The performances of several superstars are also boundless and pervasive because of the external form, which conceals the possibility of them performing a thorough knight from the heart. They are just the brightest of the many dazzling symbols in the film.

But it was they who kept criticizing the eye-catching movie that swept across the country and set numerous box office records, truly ushering in the blockbuster era of Chinese-language movies.

Moreover, it has also won many awards abroad and won numerous praises.

After watching the film, there was warm applause at the scene. No matter how the film critics commented, the audience's reaction was very direct. Obviously, everyone felt that "Hero" had at least met expectations.

When he walked out of the venue, Chen Hao couldn't help but look back at the auditorium. Thinking of the "Hero" premiere, Chen Hao couldn't help feeling, "Big man, it should be so!"

In the future, I will also hold such a grand premiere, so that I can show my status and box office appeal.

After the premiere of "Hero", just like Chen Hao's previous life, the media gave mixed reviews.

However, after its release on the 20th, "Hero" broke several box office records in a row.

40 at the box office, 3100 million in the first three days of the first weekend, and 7 million in 9000 days!The fastest to break 2 million, the fastest to break 2.48 million, with a total box office of [-] million!
Won the 2002 box office champion, and the box office accounted for 2002% of the total box office revenue in the Mainland in 26.9!

A "Hero" boosted the mainland film market that has been in a downturn for ten years!It is the foundational work of the era of blockbuster Chinese movies, and its influence can be said to be huge and far-reaching!
However, when "Hero" ravaged the mainland film market, Chen Hao had already left China with Xiaohu and rushed to the United States, preparing to shoot his second Hollywood film.

"Is this the United States?" Xiaohu said excitedly looking at the City of Angels outside the car.

Chen Hao laughed and said, "How do you feel?"

"It is indeed more modern than the emperor, but it is not as powerful as imagined." Xiaohu said.

"Leaving aside these, guns can be legally held in the United States, and the law and order here is not as safe as in China. At night, there are basically no people on the streets.

So, apart from going to the set with me, you can only stay in the set honestly, otherwise I won't be able to find you in the first place if I encounter a rogue robber or something. "Chen Hao said with a serious face.

"I know, I'm not a child." Xiaohu curled her lips when she heard this.

After hearing the words, Chen Hao continued, "I'm not trying to scare you. If something really happens, I'm not familiar with the place where I was born in the United States, I..."

"Okay, don't worry, I will follow your head office all the time!" Xiaohu said.

"That's good!" Chen Hao nodded with a smile, "However, let's forget about going to the bathroom and taking a shower!"

"Tch, it's not like I haven't seen it before!" Xiaohu curled her lips and said.

"Okay, I'll take you to the hotel first, meet Davis, and then we will join the group tomorrow." Chen Hao said.

"Yeah!" Xiaohu nodded upon hearing this.

After arriving at the hotel, just as Chen Hao and Xiaohu started packing up, Davis came.

"Chen, you are finally here!" Davis hugged Chen Hao warmly.

Chen Hao pulled the corner of his mouth, and gave Davis a symbolic hug, with a displeased expression on his face, Xiaohu covered his mouth and snickered.

"Then this is our heroine!?" Davis asked with a smile.

"Hi, I'm Xiaohu, nice to meet you." Xiaohu said in English.

"Wow, I didn't expect your English to be so good." Davis said unexpectedly.

"Thank you!" Xiaohu laughed.

Chen Hao smiled when he heard the words, Huaxia's high school students are better at studying, and their English should be pretty good, not to mention that Chen Hao has already told Xiaohu to practice English more.

For this reason, he did not hesitate to serve as Xiaohu's family foreign language teacher, and taught Xiaohu a lot of strange knowledge!

"By the way, Davis, how is the box office of "Saw"?" Chen Hao asked.

"Now the box office of "Chain Saw" has exceeded 5440 million US dollars, and the final box office will reach 5500 million US dollars without any problem." Davis laughed.

"That's good." Chen Hao nodded when he heard the words, "The actors for the movie have also been found!"

"Of course, the list you gave doesn't have any difficult actors to hire. In fact, I suggest that you invite a more famous male lead, so the box office should be higher." Davis said.

"No need, I have considered these actors carefully." Chen Hao refused, "By the way, has the action director Alan Ferraz been invited?"

"Don't worry about my work," Davis said.

Chen Hao nodded when he heard the words. The new movie is an action movie, which is different from the usual Hollywood action movies.

What Chen Hao wants is the feeling of swiftness, fierceness, and one-hit death, coupled with fast editing, it looks steady and ruthless, full of coolness!
Of course, this style has not never appeared in Hollywood. The previous "Bourne Shadow" is such an action style.

And the person Chen Hao named to invite is the action director of "The Bourne".
