superstar director

Chapter 630
And on Friday of this week, on November 11st, Abe's co-produced masterpiece "Emissary to Tang Dynasty" was released all over Asia.

This co-production between the two countries, with a record investment of 10 billion, is Abe's new ambitious work!
On the day of the premiere, a large number of celebrities from the two countries were invited to help out, and the media also vigorously promoted it. Judging from the box office of the three-day weekend, it seems that the results are also very good.

Although this week's weekly champion is Ning Sheng's "Life Boxing", "Sent to Tang Dynasty" reached 7.7 million over the weekend, with an average daily score of more than [-] million, which is obviously better than Ning Sheng's "Life Boxing" in the first three days !
On the movie websites of RB and Huaxia, the scores of these three days have remained above 8 points. Although it is incomparable with the 9 points of "Life Boxing", for a commercial film by Abe, 8 points are already Super high reputation!

Therefore, the media applauded this co-produced film one after another, and they all predicted that when the new week begins, "Emissary to Tang Dynasty" will definitely step on "Life Boxing" to become the champion!
The fact that the heroine Di Liba almost joined "Life Boxing" was also reported by everyone, and the media interviewed Abe Yilang about this matter. The director seemed to feel that his film could actually win Ning Sheng's film Even though Ning Sheng's movie is a literary film, it still made him a little impulsive, so he said to the media without shame, "I think Miss Di Liba made a very wise choice. Obviously, the success of "Emissary to Tang Dynasty" , not only will Miss Di Liba’s commercial value be raised to a new level, next year’s Golden Tripod Award, I think a Best Newcomer Award is the best proof of her acting skills in the movie!”

Faced with such a provocation, when everyone went to interview Ning Sheng, they found that this guy was no longer in the country.

That's right, at this time Ning Sheng had brought Wang Xiaochen to the United States to attend the premiere of "Life Boxing" in North America.As for Chen Daoming, his new play has already entered the group, so Ning Cheng didn't bother him.

Ning Sheng had nothing new about coming to the United States for promotion, but it was Wang Xiaochen's first cross-border promotion, especially the first movie he starred in, so he was inevitably a little nervous, but this nervousness, with the beginning of the premiere , as the movie started to play, with the applause and cheers of the audience, it dissipated little by little!

After the premiere, Ning Sheng brought Wang Xiaochen to various shows in North America to promote it!
The American media and movie fans began to pay more attention to this Chinese film, especially since the subject of this film is boxing, a topic that North American audiences are very interested in!
The first batch of fans in North America who have watched this movie have already handed in their own evaluation answers on imdb and other places. So far, 102 users have participated in the rating, and the score on the main page is as high as 418!

"Life Boxing" is a boxing movie, although there are not many real boxing scenes, but as user John commented, "The knowledge about boxing in the whole movie is very professional, whether it is the coach's guidance or the boxing ring. The matches on the Internet are so real, people can feel the real boxing, that's it, what he brings to people is dangerous and exciting, and also a lot of life-changing opportunities!"

User Nielsen commented, "If anyone says that "Life Boxing" is too boring and makes people want to sleep, then I think he must be a fool who doesn't understand the cruelty of life! The life of the heroine is like a boxing match after another. , you fight hard every time, but boxing is like life, you can't guarantee to win every time if you work hard, sometimes God likes to give people some setbacks, let you understand, it seems that your life is already doomed, no matter what No matter how hard you try, the result will not change in any way! What a fucking life!"

"This is a masterpiece that is realistic and close to social life!" Some professional movie fans gave this movie a very high evaluation.

Ning Sheng's fans were shouting excitedly all over the Internet, as if they were having a victory party together.Although Ning Sheng is no longer a big singer these years, his movies are becoming more and more familiar to movie fans, especially every action movie will almost arouse cheers from movie fans all over the world, so for so many years, Ning Sheng this A world-renowned director, like Spielberg and others, has a large number of fans around the world!
Therefore, the support and excitement of these movie fans is completely understandable: "The king of geniuses is back, woo!! Why do you always shock people!", "I bet that if this movie participates in the Oscars, Ning Sheng will definitely Will win the best director!", "Compared with the previous action movies, I like this "Life Boxing" more!"

The ratings on the Internet are very high. Although the support of Ning Sheng's fans is indispensable, there is no doubt that all fans and critics agree with the fact that "Life Boxing" is a classic worth remembering.

The American Metacritic website has a score of 94; while Rotten Tomatoes has collected 185 film reviews, 180 are fresh, and 5 are rotten. The freshness of public film critics has reached 97%, and the freshness of well-known film critics is also 95%; the audience likes it 93%, with an average rating of 4.0 (out of 5); but looking through the audience's comments, the reasons for giving low ratings are almost all "uncomfortable to watch".

"This movie makes me so sad, I have never been so angry! My heart can't calm down now." The text of the one-star user Dorsey is full of anger. He wrote: "God How can you let a girl who works so hard leave with tears, this is simply something that Satan will do!"

"I'm going crazy watching it, oh my god! I hate watching this kind of movie!" Shani angrily gave a zero star directly, and she wrote: "I am very disappointed in Ning Sheng, many people are now Talking about how awesome it is, amazing, great, true, unique, shocking - but so what!! I don't watch movies to feel bad, he hurt me! I'd prefer something like Thunderbolt movie of!"

But if you look at it at a glance, blockbuster users are like Shani said, Edson commented: "Unforgettable sadness." Ai Liyi commented: "It's unbelievable. I left crying I went to the cinema, and then stayed all night and all day. If you haven’t seen this movie, maybe you don’t know what sadness is.” But almost all of their evaluations are orange-red five stars!
"This movie has redefined my understanding of my own life." Jerry, a veteran user who also rated "Life Boxing" as a masterpiece: "I thought the movie was just for us to relax and kill time." Entertainment, until the appearance of "Life Boxing". To be honest, like many people, I felt very sad after watching it, as if a big stone was pressing on my heart, but I also saw from this movie I don’t want to become a mother who only wants to receive relief money in the future, I don’t want to become like her, although I can’t work as hard as Maggie in my life, but I definitely don’t want to become like Maggie’s mother, it’s disgusting.”

In addition to the praises from movie fans, professional media and 180 fresh film reviews, they were not stingy with praise. The "Chicago Sun" even published a dazzling headline: "It Shame Hollywood!"

""Life Boxing" is like complicated human nature, it is a very complicated movie. First of all, it is not a commercial blockbuster with constant climax, but it still makes your heart surge! When you sit in the cinema In the movie, you find yourself reluctant to leave until the end of the movie for a long time, with tears streaming down your face, for your sad or lucky life!

This "Life Boxing" from China has taught some people a good lesson. If there are still people who say that wonderful stories and literature and art cannot coexist, and soul shock cannot be combined with quiet narratives, let them watch this movie, and let them Shut up!This movie tells too many feelings that cannot be put into words. That talented Chinese person once again shocked the whole world.But I know Hollywood will go on like this, and "Life Boxing" puts Hollywood to shame. "

"A rare thrilling drama that's hard to put down"—Daily Entertainment.

"A boxing culture interpreted by Chinese people is the most novel and shocking movie on the big screen in these years, using boxing to express life." - "Hollywood Reporter"

"This is a great movie, the best movie of the summer!" - "North American Cinema."

"On a good summer day, there's usually an incredible movie that pops up that's good and thought-provoking. That's the good summer, and Life in the Box is that movie." —Los Angeles Times.

"A haunting and consistently gripping horror story." --New York Entertainment News.

"It is not only a deeply frightening literary film; it is also a spiritual commercial blockbuster. If you have experienced the difficulties of life, if you really love movies, then why don't you love it? It's just this movie The only bad thing is that maybe after you watch it, you will feel more depressed than a broken relationship!" - "American Film Weekly".

Amidst the frantic praise, the week from November 11th to 4th came to an end. In this week's North American weekly box office rankings, the one who ranked first was not the one that was awarded by the North American media. I like "Life Boxing", but a thriller horror film "Annabelle". This low-budget horror film swept 10 million US dollars in 3550 theaters!This number has amazed the entire North America, but even so, "Life Boxing" is still an existence that cannot be ignored!
"Life Boxing", which won a box office of 2986 million US dollars in 6589 theaters in the first week, ranked second on the North American weekly box office list!Under the premise of a difference of several hundred theaters, Ning Cheng is already satisfied with such a high first-week box office!And Wang Xiaochen was even more excited. These days, with Ning Sheng appearing on shows all over the United States, and another movie was released, the combination of the two successfully left a very good impression on her among North American audiences!

Especially, as the box office and word-of-mouth of the movie are very good, her heroine is naturally on the rise. Now when she goes to the show again, foreign girls and handsome guys come to her for autographs and group photos!
On the other hand, although audiences who have not watched it have heard that "Life Boxing" is extremely depressing and heavy, it has the label of "shocking and beautiful", and it has a score of 9 on imdb and 97% freshness on Rotten Tomatoes. The film critics all won the praise --- it is still the film of Ning Sheng, the talented director with the highest commercial achievements!The combination of these elements is simply impossible to see!
What kind of "classic work" is it different from Ning Sheng's previous works?Taking advantage of the summer, it is naturally the best choice to go into the cinema to see it first.

After a week of publicity in North America ended, Ning Sheng quietly returned to China with Wang Xiaochen, who was still a little unfulfilled!
Then, at this point, Ning Sheng resumed his usual lazy routine!

Under the warm summer sun, Ning Sheng lay comfortably on the sun lounger by the swimming pool in the back garden, flipped through the messages on his phone, and pressed the number pad to make some replies.With the popularity of "Life Boxing" in the world, he has received almost non-stop congratulations, text messages, emails, calls, etc. from good friends and ordinary friends these days.

Just after "Life Boxing" hit more than 6000 million U.S. dollars in the first week in North America, and after expanding to more than 3000 theaters in the second week, and won a box office of more than 9000 million U.S. dollars, the total box office of "Life Boxing" in North America was officially announced. Reached $1.5 million, and is expected to gross between $2.2-2.5 million in North America!
It is extremely difficult for other Asian films to get a box office of 1000 million in North America, but Ning Sheng's films always easily break through the [-] million US dollar mark, which makes many media and film company bosses envious!

At the same time, in China's domestic film market, the Lunar New Year film kicked off. Affected by the good reputation of the global media, the reflection of "Life Boxing" in the Chinese and Asian markets has remained stable for a long time. , unexpectedly bucked the trend and went up, beheading the previously arrogant "Emissary to Tang Dynasty" directly!Won two consecutive weekly box office champions for myself!

The total box office of "Life Boxing" in China has accumulated to 29.8 billion. As for the "Emissary to Tang Dynasty", the single-day box office has dropped to 5000 million, with a total of 25.3 billion. It is a very good result, but think about the one billion production. The cost of the film, Abe Yilang's next filming is estimated to have an investment of [-] million yuan, which is not bad!
One of the great successes of "Life Boxing" is that the director Ning Sheng's popularity once again soared to the level of a popular first-line idol, and he became a dazzling star in front of the scene. In the words of fans, it is "the return of the king". .In the past few days, regardless of the traditional paper media, emerging websites, "Life Boxing" and Ning Sheng are almost everywhere with movie entertainment, not just the film reviews of film critics, box office reports, and interviews and promotions during the release stage of the film crew.Many programs cannot invite people, so they talk hard on the program, anyway, this topic cannot be let go!
Of course, the media are more concerned about personal gossip and behind-the-scenes production stories of the movie. As for Ning Sheng's audition, he first chose Di Liba, and after Di Liba chose "Send Tang Envoy" instead of "Life Boxing", Ning Sheng Cheng struggled to find a heroine, but at this time Wang Xiaochen recommended himself, and his hard-working attitude finally moved Ning Sheng and others!
Anyway, as long as the media wants to say something, there will always be all kinds of true and false news to spread!
The success of "Life Boxing" not only made Ning Sheng, a director who retired from the stage, so popular, but also Wang Xiaochen, who entered the ranks of first-line movie stars overnight, and because the movie was shown worldwide, Wang Xiaochen faintly With the demeanor of an international actress!
