Director: The special effects are too expensive, so I had to make real shots

Chapter 149 A Million Martial Fingers and AI Martial Arts Design for Movies
Although the domestic first-day box office of "Hulk" was only 1.8 million yuan, from the second day onwards, because of its fairly good reputation, its single-day box office began to rush to 2 million yuan.

On the third day after its release, it reached its single-day box office peak of 2.7 million yuan.

In the next few days, it has been hovering around the single-day box office of 1.5 million yuan, but despite the box office results of "Hulk", Real Media will also make a lot of money.

Who made it cost only 1.8 million yuan in total.

Xu Nuo asked Guan Ju to estimate that "Hulk" should be able to win a domestic box office of about 4 million US dollars, which is about 20 billion if converted into soft sister coins.

This is only domestic.

Overseas "Hulk" is released at the same time as China. Now, unless there are some special circumstances, no matter whether it is a film directed by Xu Nuo himself or a film produced by other directors under Real Media, it will basically be released. Realize global simultaneous release.

Huashi Media, which was responsible for the simultaneous global release of Xu Nuo's films in overseas regions, has already been taken over by Real Group, and now Real Group has become the largest shareholder of Huashi Media.

You must know that the media volume of Huashi Communication in the past was not large.

However, after the real group joined, the scale of Huashi Media has also expanded by two rounds, and now it can basically realize the distribution of Chinese-language movies in many popular film and television regions around the world.

Huashi Media has also found its final destination.

Under the overseas distribution of Huashi Media, "Hulk" has also landed in most theaters in North America, as well as Europe, Japan, South Korea and other regions, which can be considered a large-scale release.

The first-day box office of "Hulk" in overseas regions also reached more than 2000 million US dollars, which does not seem to be as high as in China.

But just like the domestic trend, it was also on the second day, when the word-of-mouth and movie reviews of "Hulk" on the international version of AI Entertainment began to spread, more and more foreigners also walked into the cinema and watched this movie. A film produced by Huaguo Real Media.

In any case, the gringo did not expect that there would be super soldier serum and Iron Man in this "Hulk", which is really a surprise.

In addition, since the background of this movie is in the United States, this is quite recognized by American audiences.

"Huaguo's directors are well-structured and capable, and they can shoot at a level comparable to Hollywood blockbusters."

"Is this blackening our Great America? Oh yes, it seems that our Great American Capitol does not need to be blacked at all."

"An interesting movie."

"Why is there a super soldier serum in this movie? Does it have anything to do with Director Xu's new movie "Dragon Squad" that was previously promoted?"

"Baga, Huaguo's movie is clearly trying to slander our father!"

"The rabbit has no conscience, it's so bad!"

"Huaguo's commercial films are really becoming more and more mature."

"The director of Huaguo made a movie about the background of America, which is really interesting."

"Look, the United States has done all kinds of bad things, and even the rabbits have America in the movie, hahahaha."

Netizens in overseas regions have very different evaluations and opinions on this "Hulk".

First of all, the young audience in the United States, they have long been very unhappy with the US Capitol, and this "Hulk" has indeed hacked the Capitol and the military.

It can be regarded as poking the hearts of young people in the United States.

Of course, there are also some American viewers who said that this movie by Real Media is deliberately smearing, but there are not many people who firmly maintain their own great America.

The second is the audience in Europe.

That is of course a joke, because the relationship between Europe and the United States is not as good as before. As for the reason, I believe everyone understands it.

On the other hand, the audience in Japan and South Korea are trying their best to defend the United States.

The highest single-day box office of "Hulk" overseas was on the fifth day after its release. Its single-day box office was nearly 5000 million US dollars, which was higher than the highest single-day box office in China.

This is quite surprising.

On the whole, the global box office of "Hulk" is already very good. Although it is not as popular as Xu Nuo's previous "Transformers" and "Iron Man", Guan Ju estimates It may be in the range of 8-10 million dollars.

It can almost reach half of the box office results of "Transformers" and "Iron Man", which is considered a success for He Feiyang's first film.

Xu Nuo was also quite satisfied.

The popularity of "Hulk" made Xu Nuo decide to set the release time of his "Dragon Squad" to connect with it, so that the audience can see two real media movies at one go.

If you want to see it, you have to have a good time!And it's twice as cool!
So ever.

Xu Nuo asked his Real Media and overseas Huashi Media to start contacting theaters. His new movie "Dragon Squad" will be released on July 7, which is one month after the release of "Hulk". It does articulation.

Originally, Xu Nuo planned that the two films "Hulk" and "Dragon Squad" would be released at the beginning of the summer and the other at the end of the summer, that is, "Dragon Squad" would be released at the end of August.

It is now a month ahead of schedule, and it is a good relay with "Hulk". This year's film may not have global super hits like "Transformers" and "Iron Man", but it is still okay to give the audience a little movie universe shock. of.

During the month when "Hulk" was released, Xu Nuo was not idle either.

In addition to creating several bionic bodies for Guan Ju, he is also actively promoting the cooperative application of this technology of his own company with the medical field.

During this summer vacation, the Yuzhou City Headquarters of the Real Group, namely the Real Building, officially started construction after going through various procedures.

For busy people, a month is like a blink of an eye.

end of July.

Xu Nuo's "Dragon Squad" ushered in the upcoming release date, but before the official release, Xu Nuo asked the company to arrange a premiere event in Yuzhou City on July 7.

Generally, Xu Nuo's films will have a premiere event, and Xu Nuo will obtain systematic movie tasks during the premiere event.

Ding!
[You have obtained the "Dragon Squad" movie mission [Propagation of Dragon Kingdom Martial Arts], since your movie "Dragon Squad" contains a lot of Dragon Kingdom martial arts elements, please complete the dissemination of Dragon Kingdom martial arts in the movie, at least 5000 million foreign audiences are interested ! 】

as predicted.

Xu Nuo unlocked the last small task of his "Dragon Squad" movie. As long as this small task is completed, the "Dragon Squad" movie project will be considered successful, and then Xu Nuo will be able to get the final reward.

This final reward is the [Super Soldier Serum Formula] closely related to the movie "Dragon Squad"!

Of course, there are 10 entertainment points.

Xu Nuo couldn't help but began to look forward to it, but the task now seems to be somewhat difficult, 5000 million people, and must be foreigners, but this time he is interested, not like Dabai before.

Perhaps the difficulty of judgment will be lower.

The reason why the system gave Xu Nuo such a task has a lot to do with Xu Nuo's "Dragon Squad".

In the original "Captain America", how do you say about the fighting? Of course, the essence of Hua Guo's martial arts is indispensable in it, as well as some carefully designed actions and scenes.

Because Xu Nuo knew very well that the movie "Dragon Squad" could not be as attractive as "Transformers" or "Iron Man".

After all, both of them are mechanical, metal, and full of sci-fi sense. In today’s era, the audience is very large. In "Dragon Squad", there is no handsome armor or cool deformed car. Soldier.

So how to combine this super soldier with the background of World War II?
Xu Nuo believes that if he works hard on the action, he may be able to find a reason that the audience will recognize and buy.

and so.

"Dragon Squad" shot by Xu Nuo combines elements of war, action and science fiction.

Among them, science fiction is the basis, war is the background framework, and action is flesh and blood. This is also a point carefully designed by Xu Nuo, and it is also the core point of the movie "Dragon Squad" to go out of the "ordinary".

Because if "Dragon Squad" is just a World War II movie with sci-fi elements to destroy the conspiracy of the little days, then it may not be so brilliant in the end.

But if you fill him with wonderful flesh and blood, then this movie has a chance to make a difference.

Every movie Xu Nuo shoots needs box office results as a basis, because usually the last small movie task is related to the box office.

Some directly set a box office task goal.

Others are not like this, but set a mission goal that also needs to be supported by box office results, because this time let at least 5000 million foreign audiences understand Dragon Kingdom martial arts, just like the last time "Big Hero Marines" required Let more than [-] million viewers like Dabai.

These tasks also need box office results as a basis, because without good box office results, naturally there will not be so many people going to the movies, and there will not be so many people who will like Dabai or be interested in Longguo martial arts.

So when Xu Nuo filmed "Dragon Squad", he had to consider the box office results!

For this reason, Xu Nuo invited several top domestic martial arts instructors to "Dragon Team", and let Guan Ju, an artificial intelligence, combine with martial arts instructors to perform handsome, gorgeous and practical fighting moves. It must be a martial arts movement, but it must be born out of martial arts and has the characteristics of the Dragon Kingdom!
at the premiere.

Xu Nuo naturally invited his friends, including Zhao Huojie, Zhou Kun and others, Zhou Kun's younger sister Zhou Youqing was also indispensable.

In addition to these acquaintances, people in the circle like director Wang Shifeng also came to participate in the premiere of Xu Nuo's new movie "Dragon Squad".

And Xu Nuo brought the martial arts guidance team of "Dragon Team" and his own artificial intelligence Guan Ju.

The rest are critics and lucky viewers.

This time, the audience who can be drawn to participate in the premiere event is really very lucky. In addition to interacting with Director Xu and the staff of the crew, they can also see the bionic Guanju.

There are also domestic directors such as director Wang Shifeng, and well-known actors such as Zhou Youqing.

As for film critics, the film critics invited by Xu Nuo are all serious film critics in the circle, Xu Nuo even let Guan Ju know about them, basically none of them are the kind of film critics who take money to be film critics.

Xu Nuo really likes this kind of film critics who dare to tell the truth, and Xu Nuo also told them that after watching the movie "Dragon Squad", you only need to make your most objective evaluation, and you don't need to consider other things. Everywhere.

"Don't worry, Director Xu, if it's ugly, I'll spray you to death!"

"When I watch a movie, I don't care who the director is or who the producer is. If it's good, I'll praise it, and if it's ugly, I'll hate it!"

"Director Xu, I saw the "Dragon Squad" trailer that you released earlier, and it doesn't feel right. Of course, what I mean here is not good. I'm comparing it with your previous movies."

"Brother, can we talk about it after watching it? The trailer doesn't mean the final product."

"That's right, let's review it after reading it today."

A group of film critics also chatted with Xu Nuo for a while before watching the movie, and when the time came, "Dragon Squad" officially started playing at the premiere event.

At the beginning of the movie, everyone thought it would be a narration voice introducing the background of the war. After all, this type of war film, especially if it is a domestic one, such a narration voice introduction can be said to be very clichéd.

however.

Xu Nuo's "Dragon Team" does not fall into the cliché.

What directly catches the eye is the baptism of artillery fire, the extremely real scene of the battlefield, the soldiers who re-entered the position with flies flying around, wading under their feet is not water, but blood!

In the domestic film and television dramas under the background of this era, there are very few that can make the battlefield pictures so realistic. Generally, there are only a few European and American war movies that can show this kind of strong visual impact. Sensational movie screen.

In the opening scene of the movie "Dragon Squad", Xu Nuo showed a bloody and cruel battle between the Sichuan army and the little days!
In the final hand-to-hand combat with bayonets, although this Sichuan army relied on its tenacious fighting will, it was finally wiped out by enemies several times its own because of various factors such as physical fitness and physical strength.

The opening of this section was less than 10 minutes, but it showed the audience a cruel battle, and even the final fight to the death.

Also through the opening paragraph, the audience's sense of expectation for "Super Soldier Serum" was aroused.

Then the story officially entered the theme line, and gradually led to the sci-fi settings of "Space Gem" and "Super Soldier Serum", and then the male protagonist played by Xiong Li, who joined the army from being thin and thin, to being selected to represent Dragon Kingdom to participate in the The Allied Forces' Super Soldier Serum Project.

Of course, during this process, Xu Nuo also used Xiong Li's perspective and relationship network to draw out the various members who will form the Dragons Commando in the future.

This Dragon Singing Commando is targeting the Roaring Commando led by the original Sino-US team.

Obviously, the members of the Dragon Squad are naturally talented, including several martial arts teachers of the Dragon Squad!

In the movie, the fighting martial arts of the dragon team came from the inheritance of these members of the Longyin commando team. During the actual filming, Xiong Li naturally accepted the guidance of several million martial arts invited by Xu Nuo!
"Fuck! Is this fight so handsome?"

"The dragon team injected with super soldier serum is so fierce!"

"That shield is a bit awesome, what material is it made of?"

"Are you so serious about watching movies? Didn't the movie say that it is a thing called Zhenjin, and the setting is still quite sci-fi!"

"Nima, who designed this martial arts move? It's so badass? This is the movie with the most awesome martial arts moves I've ever seen, and it's so dense, it's so cool to watch!"

"Longyin Commando and our soldiers are so fierce, beat me to death!"

"You're the ninja of the day, aren't you?"

"The dragon team knows martial arts, no one can stop it!"

"Wairi, the karate officer in those days was a bit fierce. Is it because he was affected by the energy of the space gem and the biochemical virus?"

"This one-shot long shot from the dragon team to the dragon commandos to the soldiers' all-out attack is just so cool."

"Yeah, when the male lead was fighting that officer, the members of the Dragon Cry Commando were also fighting fiercely, and their battle even affected the battle between the male lead and the officer of that day, as well as the details of the soldiers. The pictures and details are really good!"

"What is the function of this space gem?"

"It must be something like space teleportation, right? Xiaotian probably still has limited abilities, and it is difficult to develop all the abilities of this space gem. If it were Germany, it would probably be terrifying."

When the movie played to the final battle that destroyed the small day fortress base, every audience couldn't help shouting heartily.

This time the counterattack was not a forced counterattack, but in the later stage of the war, there was a background for our side to enter the counterattack, and a biochemical bomb conspiracy to organize the destruction of Xiaotian as the last struggle.

This makes this war very reasonable under the background of the domestic era of World War II.

Especially in this battle, the movie did not independently highlight the battle of the male protagonist, the dragon team played by Xiong Li, but through different camera cuts, details of plot tasks, and one shot to the end. , It fully demonstrated the battles including the dragon team, the Dragon Commando, and our troops.

Even if the shots of Xiaori's side are in place, this battle will not become a crushing of our counterattack, making Xiaori's side have no sense of existence.

After all, in the movie setting, not only the hero has super soldier serum and vibrating gold shields.For the setting of Dragon Kingdom martial arts, there are also settings for space gems, karate, ninjas, and biochemical warriors in Xiaotian.

in the movie.

Xu Nuo asked AI Guan Ju to make exquisite designs for every flying kick of the dragon team and the attack of throwing the vibrating gold shield, and then he himself shot the joint design and guidance of Guan Ju and the martial arts instructor. Xu Nuo thinks that it has surpassed those battle scenes in the original "Captain America".

"Classic, will definitely become a classic!"

Xu Nuo is very confident in the fighting moves designed by Guan Ju and the martial arts director, and even believes that as long as the box office of the movie "Dragon Squad" does not hit the street, then many scenes and actions in it can become classic scenes!
Zhang Chaowen was one of the film critics invited by Xu Nuo.

After he finished watching this "Dragon Squad", all the battles that came to his mind were all those smooth and smooth battles!
The key is!

It's not just the dragon team who has a brilliant battle scene alone!
Everyone in the Longyin commando team is also portrayed with the camera, including our soldiers. The intuitive feeling brought about by this is that this battle is not just a victory led by the hero alone.

Even when the male protagonist tried to stop the big boss from flying a plane carrying a biochemical bomb to bomb, the dragon team played by Xiong Li was out of the ideals of his family and country, not personal heroism!

Xu Nuo took the adaptation of "Dragon Team" very well with the team, which greatly weakened the individual heroism like in the original "Captain America".

It can even portray the spirit of family and country very well in the compact movie time.

After Zhang Chaowen came back to his senses after a long time, he felt that Director Xu's "Dragon Squad" had many advantages, but since it was the first time he watched this kind of war sci-fi action movie, the "anti-Japanese drama" in his mind There is still a little bit of impression.

But after thinking about the setting of the movie carefully, the so-called "anti-Japanese drama" does not exist at all. Whether it is the Dragon Commando or our soldiers in this movie, the details and authenticity are in line with that era. a feeling of.

Even for a super soldier like the hero dragon team, there is no ridiculous scene of tearing the devil with his hands. Of course, there must be some classic neck breaking, coupled with its very wonderful martial arts action design, and the little days. The combat effectiveness of the few villains who can fight against the dragon team is not broken under the setting of the movie.

In this way, the wonderful level of the movie has been raised several notches, but you feel that it is quite reasonable.

To be honest, when Zhang Chaowen first knew that Director Xu was going to shoot a film with a World War II background like "Dragon Squad", he was worried that he might not be able to handle these balances well.

After seeing the finished film now, Zhang Chaowen could only sigh with emotion, Director Xu deserves to be Director Xu.

He is really a very talented and capable director. Even under such a background, he is able to make movies without losing their rationality and excitement!

"After reading it, how do you feel?"

After the screening of "Dragon Squad", Xu Nuo looked at his friends beside him, as well as other directors and film critics in the back seat.

Xu Nuo must be the first to learn about their feedback as the first batch of viewers!
