Chapter 328 Interesting
Although everyone is very interested in the news of Ning Sheng's appearance in the variety show, the Extreme Challenge program group will naturally not leak the news at this moment, and this selling point will naturally be used to attract everyone when it is broadcast.

Therefore, even if no new news can be found, everyone can only look forward to discovering this surprise in the extreme challenge program.

"Swordsman: Undefeated in the East" is set to be released on August [-]th during the summer vacation, when the students will soon be on vacation, which can provide greater impetus for the box office.

When the time came to the end of June, the trailers of various blockbuster movies began to flood the Internet. This year's summer vacation is also as lively as the past few years.

Not only are various types of local films released in China, but there are also blockbuster films from Japan, South Korea, and Hollywood vying for the market.

It is confirmed that the Chinese films in the summer are among the big productions. In addition to Ning Sheng's "Swordsman: The Undefeated East", there is also a special effects blockbuster " Monster Hunt.

Ning Sheng forgot how much he invested in this classic blockbuster in his last life, but he remembered that it was a box office bomb of more than 20 billion that created a box office record for Chinese movies.

And in this life, because the Chinese film market is more prosperous and healthy, investors are bolder. The investment of nearly [-] million has brought a lot of attention to this special effects blockbuster. With a huge investment, it is estimated that many viewers have the desire to take a look.Not to mention that when the cute and cute little demon king Huba appeared in the trailer, it turned over a lot of viewers, and soon became the third most anticipated movie at the moment.

As for the second place, it is the series blockbuster "Fast and Furious 7" from Hollywood. Because of the accidental death of one of the main actors, many audiences silently decided to go to the theater to support and remember that film under the emotional promotion of nostalgia. movie star.

And the first place is naturally Ning Sheng's "Swordsman: Undefeated in the East".

Even though the trailer has not been released yet, considering Ning Sheng's past box office results and the reputation of the previous "Swordsman", there are countless audiences who are looking forward to the second part. Since the first film was released, I have been looking forward to the release of the second one.

Especially after the posters of the leading actors in the second part were exposed, many people could not wait to rush into the cinema to have a good time.

Among several leading actors, Linghu Chong, Junior Junior Sister, Ren Yingying and others still haven't changed much. The most curious thing is actually the character named Dongfang Bubai. The character played by Lin Qingxia, just hearing the name makes people feel The blood was surging, and then he looked at the red dress, and the look in the eyes raised from the high platform, overflowing with silent domineering, it was so exciting that he couldn't breathe.

In addition to these three most anticipated blockbuster movies, there are actually many good movies in this year's summer vacation, such as the national comic "The Return of the Great Sage" that impressed Ning Sheng. This world has sufficient funds and time, and the story must be Even more perfect, there are also director Chen Kaige's new film "Taoist Descending the Mountain" and the Hollywood blockbuster "Terminator 5". Animation "Doraemon; Walk with me".

Except for the two soy-sauce works in Japan and South Korea, several other blockbuster films can be said to be very competitive. With the "Taoist Down the Mountain" directed by Chen Kaige in early July and "Assassination" in Japan and South Korea, "Duo Doraemon was released one after another, but the box office results were disappointing.

The Japanese and Korean films chose this schedule to stagger the behemoths behind them, thinking that they could get more box office. However, for the audience, watching movies is always a kind of entertainment, not a daily necessity, so when everyone finds this When the activities are not satisfactory, everyone will naturally stop going and change to other activities, such as inviting friends to go to karaoke together, or traveling, or playing games, some of which are other activities.

In less than two weeks, the first three films that were released hit the market one after another, failing at the box office. Director Chen Kaige seems to be still immersed in the movie atmosphere of "The Promise". I couldn’t cry when I came out, and the Douban score fell below 6 points, only 5.4 points, which is better than his “The Promise”’s 4.7 points, but it’s not much better. Investors invested 1.7 million yuan, but two weeks The subsequent "Taoist Down the Mountain" was only 4 million. With the avalanche of word of mouth, the box office plummeted even more, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to break through [-] million.

After all, although the capacity of the Huaxia Film Market is larger today, the level of the audience is also higher, and everyone will not pay to rush in just to see a few stars and suffer.

As a result, director Chen, who had previously filmed "Farewell My Concubine", once again became the target of ridicule and abuse from the media, and the film investors probably hid in a small corner and drank alcohol.

The opening of the summer film of Huaxia Films was a big somersault, but "Assassination" and "Doraemon" in the same period did not take advantage, although both films were well received, especially the Douban score of "Assassination". It scored 8.0 points, but the audience didn't like it, and it still couldn't increase the box office.

Just like a classmate who left a message on the Internet said, "You just give them full marks. If I don't like it, I won't watch it. If you want you to swipe tickets every day."

However, looking at how the two films struggled to break through [-] million in two weeks, it is obvious that the Chinese public does not have much interest in such a film, even if you say how good it is, let alone, there are actually some people who are interested in the film after watching it. The effect is very unsatisfactory, and a very low evaluation is given on the Internet, or a very general message.

In short, if Japanese and Korean films want to make a difference in the Chinese market, there is still a long way to go.

And when everyone was very dissatisfied with the few movies released in July, "Swordsman: Undefeated in the East" finally released the trailer.

It is still the background music of "A Laugh in the Sea". The first few scenes follow from the previous movie where Huashan disciples were sad because of their master Yue Buqun and decided to retire from the rivers and lakes. Then there is the scene of practicing kung fu in the Eastern Invincible Lake. Under the display of special effects, Dongfang Bubai's miraculous skill is even more powerful, and he can be seen as a top master at a glance.

Afterwards, the screen changed to Linghu Chong breaking into Dongfang Bubai's residence. After hitting the acupuncture points of the four guards as fast as lightning, Dongfang Bubai in the room frowned. At this time, the camera changed, and it turned into Linghu Chong and Dongfang Bubai smiling and singing sweetly, but just when everyone thought it was a love story, it was Linghu Chong, Ren Yingying, Junior Junior Sister and others in the camera. Let's rush up to Heimu Cliff together and start a direct battle with Dongfang Bubai.

In the last scene, Dongfang Bubai sat embroidering without raising his head, and then he took a palm shot, and a palm print flew out on the huge cauldron.

"Is there any mistake, this trailer is too broken!"

"Who can tell me whether Dongfang Bubai is a man or a woman? Why did it sound like a man at first, but later it turned out to be a woman? I'm going crazy—"

"Who is that old man who is with Linghu Chong and the others? Why is he so obsessed? I heard Ren Yingying called him daddy. Could it be that another master appeared?"

"Didn't you find out? The relationship between Linghu Chong and Dongfang Bubai is so responsible? Could it be a plot of falling in love and killing each other? But what happened to Dongfang Bubai's man's voice? Could it be that the director made a mistake in editing? "

"Linghu Chong's heroine is Junior Junior Sister, okay? Others don't want to be mistresses!"

"Linghu Chong obviously likes Ren Yingying, but my junior sister is just secretly in love!"

"I think it's good for Dongfang Bubai to accompany Linghu Chong, what do you all think?"

"What the upstairs said is good, and I agree with it, love to the east is justice!"

"Nine times out of ten, Dongfang Bubai is a man, everyone please take care of yourself!"

"In today's society, as long as there is true love, age is not a problem, wealth is not a problem, and men and women should not be a problem either!"

"If you have any problems, you can go to Thailand for further study. Our slogan is, as long as it is true love, there is nothing to stop us from being together!"

"As for Dongfang Bubai's name, I think, this is a proud old man!"

"Who says women can't be called Dongfang Invincible? You are discriminating against women!"

Discussions on the Internet often go awry, but the [-] million trailer of "Swordsman: Undefeated in the East" is a success. What's more, with the good reputation Ning Cheng has cultivated over the years, the audience's The enthusiasm for meditation is quite high.

And before "Swordsman: Undefeated in the East" was released, the Hollywood blockbuster "Fast and Furious 7" was released, and at the same time, the anime "The Return of the Great Sage" was released, which was different from Ning Sheng's previous life. Yes, the development of local comic films in this generation is very good, especially the various classic Chinese myths or fairy tales are popular themes for animation.

The release of "Returning Loudly" this time is not as quiet as in the previous life, and of course it is not a big one, but in the eyes of anime fans, everyone knows that there is such a movie to be released.And the solid foundation of Journey to the West theme in China has made many animation fans look forward to it.

Therefore, when the release day came, more than 7% of the audience were attracted by their feelings to the screening hall of "Fast and Furious [-]". Among the remaining [-]%, [-]% went to "The Return of the Great Sage", and other films shared the rest. [-]% of the audience.

So when the new week's box office rankings were released, finally the blockbusters of the summer season appeared.

With a high score of 7 on Douban, "Fast and Furious 8.8" broke the new record of China's imported films with a score of 3.5 million on the first day and 9.5 million on the first three days.

And "The Return of the Great Sage" broke the first-week box office record of China's domestic animation with a good reputation of 8.7 points on Douban, 1.3 million in the first day, and 5.5 million in the first three days.

On the Internet and in the media, the reviews for the two films are almost one-sided. In particular, "The Return of the Great Sage" is hailed as a new milestone in domestic animation and the best Westward Journey animation on the big screen.

With the end of July and the beginning of August, the Douban score of "Fast and Furious 7" dropped to 8.3 points, and the cumulative box office in two weeks reached 21.6 billion, winning the box office champion in the second week.

"The Return of the Great Sage" also dropped to 8.3 points on Douban, with a cumulative box office of 16.3 billion in two weeks, breaking a new box office record for domestic animation.

Immediately following the third week of their release, on the last day of Sunday, the much-anticipated martial arts masterpiece "Swordsman: Undefeated in the East" was finally released.

Countless movie fans came to the film and television city early to queue up to buy tickets. Zhou Ling and Wang Jun are die-hard fans of Ning Sheng. They have watched all of Ning Sheng's movies. But I found that there were really many people in line, and it was not their turn until more than half an hour later.

"Two tickets to "Swordsman"!"

"You are so lucky, this is the last two of today's first show!" The conductor said with a smile as he handed out the movie tickets.

"Really? That's really lucky!" The two paid the money and happily went to the screening hall.

And the fans who were behind them were upset, "Is there a mistake, there are no tickets in just over half an hour?"

"The first scene of "Swordsman" is indeed gone, but there is a second scene later, do you want it?"

"Yes, two tickets for the second show, what movie tickets are there for the first show?"

"The first show will also include "Fast and Furious 7", the anime "The Return of the Great Sage", and the Korean romance film "Ugly Turnaround"——"

"Give us two more tickets to the first scene of "The Fast and the Furious."

"--Two tickets for the second show of "Swordsman", and two tickets for the first show of "The Return of the Great Sage"--"

With the release of "Swordsman: Undefeated in the East", the film schedule ratio of various theaters has been adjusted again, and films with poor box office have been eliminated early.

"Taoist Down the Mountain" finally ended with a score of 3.5 million, and the loss is a foregone conclusion. "Assassination" and "Doraemon" ended with 2.5 million and 5.3 million respectively.They have already realized profits in their respective countries, so there is no problem of losing money, it is just that they earn more and earn less.

The movie started to play in the screening hall, and the plot of "Swordsman: The Unbeaten East" has firmly attracted everyone's attention from the very beginning. Dongying warriors are slaves under Dongfang Unbeaten, and the special effect is the sharpness of the sword. Powerful, and Dongfang Invincible's powerful appearance made everyone's eyes fixed on him.

With the appearance of Dongfang Bubai, everyone's doubts about whether Dongfang Bubai is a man or a woman are finally confirmed. Many people are relieved, but more people feel a little regretful that Lin Qingxia actually played a As a male character, this is really a little surprising, but seeing Dongfang Bubai's powerful momentum is really amazing. Lin Qingxia's performance is so good.If it weren't for the appearance of Dongfang Bubai's women later, some people still hope that Dongfang Bubai will be a woman disguised as a man?After all, such things are not uncommon in Huaxia stories.

It's a pity that, halfway through the plot, everyone can already be sure that Dongfang Bubai is indeed a man, but everyone makes everyone feel a little strange that in the communication between Dongfang Bubai and Linghu Chong, there is something different from the time they met in the lake. feel in it.

Anyone can tell that Linghu Chong regards Dongfang Bubai as a woman, and Dongfang Bubai is usually unparalleled in the Sun Moon God Sect, ruthless and cruel, but he shows mercy to Linghu Chong several times, and seems to deliberately hide it from the other party. My male body, when the audience found out about this, they immediately became excited, it was interesting!
