China Entertainment: Return to 2007

New York, Chinatown,

Wang Yadong is a Chinese national who runs a [Wang’s Martial Arts School] in Chinatown, specializing in teaching Bajiquan.

His ancestors traveled across the ocean to come here in the last century.

After three generations of inheritance, he has completely integrated into the ugly country and has become an ugly native who can speak ugly English fluently.

However, because of the Daxia blood flowing in his bones, he has always longed for his motherland.

In the evening of this day, Wang Yadong finished his teaching for the day and had dinner.

Then he led his newlywed wife into the street.

When walking to the square, I passed by a cinema and saw a huge poster hanging outside the cinema.

The two beautiful women with oriental faces on the poster instantly attracted Wang Yadong's attention.

"Honey, one of the heroines seems to be Huo Xiaolan? The other seems to be Xiao Guo Xiangye?" Wang Yadong's wife is also a Chinese. Ni Ni has some influence in the Chinese circle in Chou Country because of "Monster Hunting".

As for Yang Mi, it was entirely thanks to Pu Shulin.

Pu Shulin's China TV station has always liked to broadcast Jin Yong's martial arts dramas.

As for Huang Xiaoming's version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes," I love it even more because of China Television's investment.

In the past few years, this version of the TV series has been rebroadcast dozens of times on China Channel.

Wang Yadong's wife Suai watched the drama on China Channel and had some impressions of Yang Mi.

""A Quiet Place"?" Wang Yadong looked at the poster, and his eyes unconsciously swept over the proud bodies of Ni Ni and Yang Mi: "It looks pretty good, honey, why don't you buy two tickets to see it? look?"

"Okay, I haven't seen a movie in a long time, so let's buy a ticket quickly."

After getting his wife's approval, Wang Yadong immediately led his wife into the cinema, bought two movie tickets on the spot, bought the popcorn and Coke that were necessary for watching the movie, and walked in in pairs.

"There are still a lot of people?!"

When Wang Yadong and his wife walked into the screening room, they were very surprised to find that the screening room, which could accommodate more than 500 people, was actually filled with more than 300 people, with an attendance rate of nearly %.

But when they found that most of the people around them were very familiar Chinese faces,

Immediately some understanding came to mind.

"It seems that the promotion of "A Quiet Place" has been done very well, and it has worked hard in various Chinese communities." Wang Yadong praised.

The cast of "A Quiet Place" all have oriental faces.

Just like the original "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "Hero",

Attracting enough Chinese audiences in advance is the correct way to start publicity.

Overseas, the only Chinese-language films that can really sell well are kung fu films and martial arts films.

Regardless of the quality of other films, they are simply strangled in the cradle at the stage of release.

However, "A Quiet Place" is different. Xu Ge gave up his profits in exchange for Universal's distribution, and Pu Shulin gave his full support.

At least in the early stage, the 800 large screens attracted enough viewers.

Of course, if the quality of "A Quiet Place" is not outstanding enough to impress Ugly people,

Three days at most,

Everything will be restored to its original state.

"Oh my god! This child died so tragically!"

"Oh! This monster is too ugly!"

"Oh! God bless! Let the poor mother and son be in peace!"

"Oh! Great fatherly love..."

"..."

"A Quiet Place" played all the way, and screams came one after another.

At every critical node, such as Xiao Zhihan being brutally killed by a monster,

For example, Ni Ni was pregnant with Liujia and was being pressed by monsters step by step.

For example, Zhang Yi sacrificed his life to protect his wife, children and relatives,

The audience present, whether Chinese or white, all screamed nervously.

Clearly, in this unique sci-fi horror film filled with strange tension,

The cultural barriers between China and the West have been broken down,

Almost all the Ugly audience present were moved.

In its previous life, "A Quiet Place" had no famous director, no stars, and no strong publicity. Why was it still successful? It became a dark horse at the box office at the time.

The reason is simply that the subject matter is novel enough and the plot is exciting and exciting enough.

"A Quiet Place" is the first sci-fi setting in which people will die if they make a sound, and the life and death of a family can be controlled with every breath.

The fear coupled with excitement and freshness makes people forget about the famous celebrity directors and immerse themselves in the movie wholeheartedly.

At this time, although the protagonists all have Eastern faces, the core of the entire movie is still fresh and frightening.

And novelty and fear are common to people all over the world.

This also resulted in the de facto success of "A Quiet Place".

"Husband, if one day such a monster really appears, will you protect me like the hero?" After watching the movie, Wang Yadong's wife asked her soul question.

"Of course!" Wang Yadong's head shook violently. He slapped his pectoralis major with a look of determination in his eyes: "Until I fall, no monster can even think of hurting you!"

"Husband, you are so kind."

"Of course, I am willing to pay any price for you! Even my life!" Wang Yadong said without hesitation.

"Husband, you are so kind to me," Wang Yadong's wife was moved: "Then will you buy a limited edition LV bag for me?"

Wang Yadong: "..."

....................................

"Hi! Helen, your bag is so beautiful! It's not a new limited edition from LV, is it? It costs 8,000 US dollars, right?!"

"Hehehe, it's only 8188, it's not expensive."

"Oh my god! Helen, I am so envious of you! Your husband is so kind to you!"

"Haha, it's nothing. If you want it, it's actually very simple."

"What do you mean?"

"You just need to take your boyfriend, take him to see "A Quiet Place," and then praise the leading actor as much as you can, and then the LV will come naturally."

"Oh! This is a great idea! Helen! Thank you! I'll call him and ask him to watch the movie!"

"..."

Women, no matter which country they are from, love comparison.

Helen has L∨'s bag, so naturally her best friend is not willing to lag behind.

He stretched out his hand and asked the man directly, as if he couldn't wipe his face off.

So "A Quiet Place" became the best excuse,

Do you love me?

Love me like the hero in it, give me everything you have!

bring it on! My LV! perfume! Pearl necklace!

Of course, they have to pay a price for getting this.

For example, Wang Yadong’s newlywed wife Helen,

Didn't manage to get out of bed and go to work the next day.

Her best friend is naturally the same.

Life is like this, where there is a loss, there is a gain, and where there is progress, there is a way out...

In any case, "A Quiet Place" caused some waves in Ugly Country.

Crowds of moviegoers appeared in front of many cinemas.

....................................

"Xu Ge, it's time to get up."

In the early morning, face to face and being honest with each other, Yang Mi patted Xu Ge who was sleeping like a dead pig, and said helplessly: "Today is the second day of the road show, you don't want to let the crew down, right?" ?”

Xu Ge put his arm around Yang Mi Fengyun's waist and sobbed: "Hmm...it's so delicious..."

Yang Mi: "..." Looking at Xu Ge who was eating like a "child" in front of her, Yang Mi smiled angrily and scolded: "Stop making trouble, we really have to get up. If you don't get up, Ni Ni will be Coming to kill!"

Hearing the word "Ni Ni", Xu Ge finally let go of his mouth and glanced at Yang Mi, who had a playful expression on his face. Xu Ge sighed and said, "You really want me to take care of you, right?"

"Xu Ge, what do you want to do? Stop making trouble, it's really too late."

"To be successful in life, you must have all the fun!" Xu Ge said with a smile, got on his horse and galloped to his heart's content!

Da da da da da da! ! ! ! !

After half an hour,

Lying in Xu Ge's arms, Yang Mi finally calmed down.

Xu Ge is happy here.

The other main creators of "A Quiet Place" who were let go were depressed.

Especially Ni Ni, whose face darkened visibly.

"Hmph, vixen!"

Of course Ni Ni could imagine what Xu Ge's delay meant.

According to the rules set by the four girls, no matter who is going to bed, they cannot delay when they have business to do.

Ni Ni has always led by example,

Xu Ge never let her delay any business.

Last night it was Yang Mi's turn to go to bed. She should have followed this rule.

As a result, the two of them haven't shown up yet.

This simply made Ni Ni extremely angry.

Seeing her face getting darker and darker,

Zhang Yi and Yi Yang Qianxi could not help but be very worried.

Xu Ge and Yang Mi are delayed. If Ni Ni becomes furious with Yang Mi by then, then today's road show will really be over.

They could all imagine how excited the paparazzi would be if they captured this scene.

No need to wait until the afternoon,

During lunch,

What [Xu Ge’s harem caught fire, Ni Ni and Yang Mi beat each other in public! 】

What [real sisters on screen, plastic flowers off screen]. 】

What [Two women fighting for their husband, Xu Ge is a scumbag. ] News like

It has already been flying all over the sky.

And this is definitely not a good thing for "A Quiet Place".

Everyone originally agreed to set off at eight o'clock, but now it is exactly 8:30, and Xu Gecai and Yang Mi are late.

Seeing everyone looking at him in unison, and then looking at Ni Ni who had his back turned to him and couldn't see the expression on his face,

Xu Ge smiled awkwardly: "Sorry, there's a traffic jam on the road."

Yes, who made the lights of the car next to you too big and the body of the car too bright?

Anyone else would be stuck in traffic!

Zhang Yi gave Xu Ge a look that every man could understand.

Ni Ni still turned his back to Xu Ge and said nothing.

Xu Ge glanced at Yang Mi beside him,

Yang Mi stared back at Xu Ge, meaning you can't even make up a decent reason?

"Ni Ni, I'm sorry," Yang Mi apologized sincerely, "there's really a traffic jam on the road."

Xu Ge: "..."

Zhang Yi: "..."

Good guys, this is truly a match made in heaven!

Ni Ni turned around with a cold face, and just as Xu Ge was about to speak, she suddenly smiled brightly at Yang Mi and said: "It's okay, it's just a traffic jam, it's normal.

Next time I will replace this car with a helicopter so that there will be no traffic jams in the future. "

Yang Mi: "..."

Xu Ge: "..."

Everyone: "..."

Seeing Yang Mi's face turn from red to dark, Xu Ge quickly stood up and said: "Er Ni, if there is anything else, let's talk about it when we get back."

Ni Ni nodded: "Okay, I will listen to you."

Xu Gezhang breathed a sigh of relief and reassured Yang Mi: "Let's go to the road show first. If you have anything to do, we'll talk about it in the evening."

Yang Mi put away her temper and nodded silently.

Seeing this, Xu Ge smiled and said: "Thank you for your hard work, let's go to the roadshow together."

Life is always full of surprises,

Everyone knows the truth, but few can actually do it.

If people cannot overcome their greed and laziness, they can only wait to reap the consequences.

Fortunately, Xu Ge's majesty was still there, and under his strong suppression, the storm was suppressed before it even happened.

However, Xu Ge knows that as conflicts increase in the future, one day they will completely break out.

The group continued their road show, and wherever the crew went, fans went crazy.

Ni Ni, Yang Mi, Zhang Yi, and even Xu Ge himself,

Everyone has millions of fans,

Even the first two have touched the threshold of tens of millions.

With such a large base, just a few hundred people can make the road show's cinema almost full.

And the more this happens, the more popular "A Quiet Place" becomes.

At the same time, the box office is naturally rising!

While Xu Ge was still on the road show, the box office on the first day had already been released.

Not surprisingly, Daxia easily won 5029 million box office, breaking a series of first-day box office records and easily winning the championship!

For a time, the media boasted endlessly.

They all praised "A Quiet Place" and Xu Ge to the sky.

However, Feng Dapao's "If You Are the One 2" also easily won a super high box office of 4930 million.

Not much was left behind.

However, the mere 100 million difference is nothing compared to the size of the two movies.

At this time, Feng's comedy is still quite capable.

Maybe if "If You Are the One 2" has tens of thousands more seats tomorrow, it can turn defeat into victory.

And at this moment, in the afternoon, the first-day box office of "A Quiet Place" in Ugly Country was released and spread to Daxia.

For a time, the whole country was shocked!

....................................

"What?! How much?!"

Ding dong!

In the imperial capital, in the RV, Feng Dapao, who was sitting in the spacious back seat and sipping red wine, heard Xu Fan's words. The red wine glass in his hand fell directly onto the RV, and the red liquid flowed all over the car.

"Don't worry, it's only the first day, we don't know who will win yet." Taking out a towel to dry Feng Dapao's trousers, Xu Fan comforted him: "This overseas box office is obviously abnormal. I think that Xu Ge used other means. , it’s absolutely impossible to last long.”

Feng Dapao frowned and looked at the buildings passing by outside the car window. He turned around and asked: "If "If You Are the One 2" is also released overseas, how much box office do you think it can get?"

"This..." Xu Fan was speechless for a while.

People need to be self-aware. It’s not like Feng Dapao’s movies have never been shown overseas in the past.

In other words, "The Night Banquet" relied on his former reputation and the popularity of period films, and managed to sell tens of millions overseas, which was a misfortune to overseas distributors.

None of the other films have made over 10 million yuan. In short, leaving the Daxia market,

Who knows who Feng Dapao is?

"This Xu Ge is really amazing." Feng Dapao said with sincere admiration: "800 screens, and we earned 803 million US dollars on the first day.

This result is really unexpected! "

803 million U.S. dollars, converted into Daxia currency, it is close to 6 million.

This overseas box office data not only crushed Feng Dapao, but also exceeded the local box office of Daxia for the first time!

In terms of language films, it is definitely a milestone leap forward!
