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

Chapter 179 "The box office is mediocre"

After Xu Nuo confirmed the release of his "Iron Man 2", he also let Wang Shifeng's "Thor" launch the first round of large-scale publicity, and also released the first "Thor" trailer.

And now.

Xu Nuo's "Iron Man 2" held a premiere event. The first batch of audiences around the world saw the sequel of "Iron Man" series tonight, and found many details in "Iron Man 2", as well as other The connection between films.

For example, in the "Thor" trailer directed by Wang Shifeng, S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Coulson found Thor's hammer.

And in Xu Nuo's "Iron Man 2", when the Iron Man played by Xu Nuo set up a small particle collider in his smart villa home to try to create new elements, Coulson, an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. Xia farewell.

Because in the first "Iron Man", this Coulson was arranged by S.H.I.E.L.D. to handle various matters related to S.H.I.E.L.D. by Iron Man's side.

The reason why S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Coulson bid farewell to Iron Man was that S.H.I.E.L.D. arranged for him a new mission to go to the place where Thor's Hammer appeared.

All of a sudden, "Iron Man 2" and "Thor" directed by Wang Shifeng were connected directly.

Two movies like this, and two movies that are not in the same series, have realized the connection of the plots, which makes the audience have a very special feeling.

I feel that the movie universe created by director Xu Nuo is getting richer and more exciting at the same time.

The audience must be thinking, Director Xu's movie universe is definitely not just as simple as Iron Man and Hulk, the dragon team will also wake up at that time, and Thor in the next movie, so many powerful characters will pass through at that time. S.H.I.E.L.D. is organized together, so what kind of villain can stand up to it?
In the largest IMAX auditorium of X Cinema in Yuzhou City, the audience at the premiere ceremony is seriously watching the 150-minute "Iron Man 2".

When they see the portable steel suit, or the handsome appearance of Iron Man, they can't help but say "wow".

When the audience saw that Iron Man and Pepper finally hugged and kissed, there would be sweet smiles on their faces.

But there is one audience exception.

That was Zhou Kun's younger sister, Zhou Youqing. When she saw Iron Man kissing Little Pepper, although she knew it was a movie, she still couldn't help looking at Xu Nuo and Wen Ruohan.

Xu Nuo seemed to feel Zhou Youqing's gaze, and shrugged involuntarily.

Good guy, this Shura field belongs to yes, but it's a movie version.

I kissed Zhou Youqing in "Transformers", and kissed my assistant Wen Ruohan in "Iron Man", but these are all required by the plot of the movie.

Otherwise, I thought Xu Nuo was a scumbag.

In this "Iron Man 2", in addition to the handsome steel suit as always, and the new portable steel suit, there is also the appearance of the "new" role of the peace guard played by Colonel Luo Wei, which also makes the audience We felt a lot of surprises.

Because when I first saw the trailer, everyone thought this character was fighting Iron Man, so I thought he was a villain.

After watching the movie, I found out that it turned out that I had a little conflict with Iron Man, and then took a suit of Iron Man and became a new decent character similar to Iron Man's wingman-the guardian of peace!
This kind of cognitive contrast with the trailer is also a way to mobilize the audience's emotions when watching the movie. The main feature is an unexpected one for the audience.

In addition to the handsome steel suit and battle scenes, as well as the gradual progress of the emotional drama between the male protagonists, there are many plots in "Iron Man 2" that make the audience "climax" directly after watching it.

For example, the part of the hearing!
As Xu Nuo had expected, the segment where he had "invited" Congressman Halson from the United States to appear in the hearing really instantly aroused the sympathy of the audience.

When the audience in the cinema hall saw Congressman Halson appearing on the stage, and he was still at the hearing, the sense of immersion was immediately full, okay?

Although it is not the hearing of the international version of AI Entertainment in the movie, but the two key elements of Congressman Halson + the hearing are assembled, and everyone knows what this is reflecting without thinking.

Director Xu, this guy is indeed a real-time madman!
Even this one can be shot in real life, and he also invited Mr. Halson, who was in the hearing of the international version of AI Entertainment, which surprised the audience and made them feel funny. 2" is a whole job.

After watching the entire 150-minute "Iron Man 2", the audience just felt unsatisfied.

When the end of the credits appeared, everyone even waited for something very tacitly.

This is a movie-watching experience that every audience has never had before. Even when watching "Iron Man", "Dragon Team" and "Hulk" before, some people stayed and prepared to watch the easter eggs, but it was definitely not like today, Everyone, that's right, no one got up or left the state of watching the movie, and every audience was waiting quietly.

Finally, after the end of the credits, the easter egg that S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Coulson came to the location of Thor's Hammer appeared!

This can't help but make the audience look forward to the next movie "Thor".

Although this "Thor" is not a movie directed by Director Xu himself, Director Xu is the producer and screenwriter, and Director Wang Shifeng is also one of the best directors in China, and it is also a part of the movie universe created by Director Xu. film, so why not look forward to it?
bang~
"Iron Man 2" finally finished playing at the premiere event, and some lights in the theater came on.

"How, how do you feel?"

"There are many interesting places, and it feels a little better than the first one."

"Indeed, the maturity level is better than the first one."

"The only pity is that there are not too many scenes of sea, land and air equipment cameras."

"IMAX's real shots are different, they are so real."

"Wonderful!"

"It's so beautiful, it's very refreshing and joyful to watch, and it also has various connections with the previous films and the subsequent "Thor"."

"The part of creating new elements is really imaginative. Iron Man is indeed a technological genius!"

All of a sudden, after the screening of "Iron Man 2", audiences and film critics started discussing various things, discussing the movie-watching experience with people around them.

The film critics present have already begun to summarize this "Iron Man 2" in their minds.

For them, this is indeed a good and excellent popcorn commercial blockbuster, and various elements are well integrated.

There is the hot female agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., the Black Widow, the handsome new steel suit, the gags that do not violate harmony at all, the villains with a bit of charm, and the sci-fi such as the particle collider creating new elements. Imagination, more reality is reflected in the movie, and the plot fragments that combine the movie and reality have a richer setting for the world view of the movie universe.

The sum of these is definitely not comparable to a simple Hollywood commercial blockbuster, but in China, so many elements can be combined together, and the filming will not become very messy, the plot is advanced in an orderly manner, and various arrangements can be seen It sounds reasonable.

Such a popcorn blockbuster work, there may really be no other director in China who can do it!
Maybe it's not that other domestic directors can't do it, but that they don't want to do it at all!
"Kunkun, Ajie, how do you feel after watching it?"

Xu Nuo turned his head and naturally asked Zhao Huojie and Zhou Kun who were sitting in the same row not far away, smiling.

"Brother Nuo, as far as this quality is concerned, there is nothing to say!"

Zhao Huojie gave a thumbs up and exclaimed.

Zhou Kun replied with a very simple sentence: "It's good-looking, even better than the first one."

"Really or not?"

After Xu Nuo finished asking them, he immediately asked the audience in the row behind him: "What do you think?"

After all, Zhao Huojie and Zhou Kun are the investors of "Iron Man 2", and they may not be so objective in their evaluation, but in fact, it can be seen from their evaluation that Xu Nuo's "Iron Man 2" There must be no problem with the filming of Iron Man [-].

"As expected of Director Xu, it's so pretty!"

"I'll go to the cinema to watch it again tomorrow."

"Director Xu, where can I get the Iron Man figure?"

"I feel that the content is much more than the first one, and it looks a lot more mature."

Several audience members in the back row responded to Xu Nuo's inquiry.

Xu Nuo summed up everyone's evaluation of "Iron Man 2". It seems that everyone agrees that this one has a lot more content than the first one, and the viewing experience seems to be better than the first one. Some.

Of course, Xu Nuo couldn't help becoming vigilant in his heart.

That is, sometimes movies will be popular but not popular.

After all, the first "Iron Man" is the first appearance, and it is the first time to bring something as handsome as the steel suit to the audience, which is groundbreaking to a certain extent.

Although the second film seems to have a better reputation, Xu Nuo has to worry that the box office of "Iron Man 2" may not be as good as the first film.

Soon, after the broadcast of "Iron Man 2", Xu Nuo got up from the auditorium and came to the big screen again. At the same time, the live broadcast room of the AI ​​entertainment platform that was closed because of the broadcast of "Iron Man 2" also opened again. turned it back on.

"Thank you very much for your patience in watching my "Iron Man 2". Can you tell me about your experience watching the movie?"

Xu Nuo stood in front of the big screen, holding a microphone in his hand, and asked everyone.

"nice!"

"It's so cool to watch."

"Great looking!"

"Director Xu is awesome! Iron Man is awesome!"

All of a sudden, the audience in the theater shouted praises.

This hooked the netizens in the live broadcast room so that they can't wait to rush into the cinema to see "Iron Man 2".

"Fuck, the response from the scene is so good?"

"It seems that "Iron Man 2" must not be missed."

"Woooooooooooooooooooo poor, we have to wait until tomorrow to see it."

"I really envy these dudes who can go to the premiere event."

The premiere event of "Iron Man 2" undoubtedly brought great enthusiasm to it.

The professional and objective evaluations of film critics can be said to have shaped the reputation of "Iron Man 2" very well. One film critic even said that this is the best popcorn commercial movie he has ever seen.

These film critics have always evaluated a movie from an objective point of view, and they have a good reputation in the film critic circle, because they watch the movies in advance and then evaluate them. It's really hip-pull, and it can all stand the test of netizens.

Otherwise, once there is a mediocre or crotch-laden movie, it will be your own brand. There have been many such big film critic bloggers in the film critic circle before, with millions of fans. Because I received money to blow up a hip-pull movie, and then I was taught to be a man by netizens and fans, and that account has plummeted since then!
With the word-of-mouth of the first wave of premiere activities, and countless netizens looking forward to "Iron Man 2", before "Iron Man 2" is officially released, it is like a volcano that is about to erupt.

the next day.

This volcano, which was already poised to explode, finally ushered in the moment of blowout.

Before the release of "Iron Man 2", that is, after the release of Xu Nuo's last film "Dragon Squad", domestic films showed a relatively sluggish state.

Many netizens haven't been to the cinema to watch movies during this period of time. There is no other reason, that is, there are no good movies.

Based on this situation, after the release of Xu Nuo's "Iron Man 2", it immediately set off a movie-watching frenzy in China.

The pre-sale of "Iron Man 2" on the first day in China exceeded 5 million yuan!

The entire movie box office market was directly revitalized by the movie "Iron Man 2", as if it had injected a powerful needle into the stagnant movie market!

On the first day of its release, Xu Nuo was still very concerned about the box office trend.

After all, the box office target of my "Iron Man 2" is a bit high, and it takes 25 billion US dollars to successfully complete the task. Therefore, the domestic box office must be good. In this way, with the overseas box office, there is a chance to break through this difficulty.

However, judging from the current situation, the domestic box office results seem to be very good.

In the evening of the first day of release, the box office of "Iron Man 2" began to soar from the pre-sale of [-] million, exceeding [-] million, [-] million, and then seemed to be moving towards [-] million with an unstoppable momentum. The goal of [-] million has been achieved.

"Can it exceed one billion on the first day?"

If Xu Nuo remembers correctly, in the previous life on Earth, there was only one domestic film, "Detective Chinatown 3", whose first-day box office exceeded 10 billion yuan.

But unfortunately, Xu Nuo thinks that "Detective Chinatown 3" is not such a good movie.

The domestic first-day box office of "Iron Man 2" was finally fixed at 10.6 billion yuan, which made "Iron Man 2" undoubtedly become a big hit in domestic movies.

We must know that many domestic movies may not reach the box office of 10 billion by the end of the release, and 10 billion is a threshold for a movie.

But this threshold, Xu Nuo's "Iron Man 2" only took the first day to cross it.

This kind of first-day results is shocking, but it feels normal. Domestic film and television entertainment media have reported the excellent first-day box office results of "Iron Man 2". "Xia 2" is completely occupied.

For this reason, the movie channel of State Television TV specially prepared an interview with director Xu Nuo for the excellent performance of "Iron Man 2" breaking the billion-dollar box office on the first day.

If it was an interview from a small media or a film and television self-media, Xu Nuo was not interested.

But if it's the movie channel of State TV, then it's fine.

Moreover, the person in charge of the movie channel also said that the material of this interview may be used by "News Network" at that time.

If this is the case, then Xu Nuo will cooperate and accept an interview from the national television station in his smart villa.

"Director Xu, the box office of your "Iron Man 2" has already exceeded one billion yuan on the first day. I think as of today, the domestic box office has already reached 15 billion yuan, which has also made the movie market become popular. What do you think of "Iron Man 2"?" Is Iron Man [-] a success?"

The interviewer sent by the movie channel of State Television TV this time can be said to be the channel's flower, and his appearance is quite good.

Xu Nuo said that China TV really understands me.

"Although the box office of "Iron Man 2" is mediocre, I think it should be considered a success judging from the word-of-mouth it has received since it was released. I don't know if I would be too humble to say so."

Xu Nuo said to the reporter with a smile.

"The box office is average?"

"Director Xu, what the hell do you call the one-billion box office box office on the first day?"

"That's a damn thing, I don't even count the overseas box office. It is said that the overseas box office is also good!"

""The Box Office""

As soon as Xu Nuo said that "Iron Man 2" had a mediocre box office, all the audience who watched the interview on the movie channel of the National Television Station were numb!
Director Xu, we don't bring such a Versailles!
