The king of all people

Chapter 168
The "Night of Miracles" premiere of "Shaolin Soccer" was a huge success, and it can even be said to have exceeded most people's imagination.

On the night of the ceremony, Tianya Forum, where the most popular netizens gather in China, put a post on the top of the forum, "What kind of movie do you think "Shaolin Soccer" is? Would you go to the cinema to watch it?"

In just two hours, thousands of comments were gathered.Many fans who just returned from the premiere expressed their first impressions of the film.Some of Li Xian's loyal microscopes even started to promote it to their relatives and friends, striving to contribute more box office to their idols.

After all, the director valued Li Xian so much, and boasted that Li Xian could afford half of the box office. As senior fans, they naturally couldn't let the director or the idol down.

"Fantasy is beyond imagination! I have watched many movies, and "Shaolin Soccer" has undoubtedly reached the current domestic peak level in terms of plot, special effects and appeal!"

"Master Xing's works are always reassuring, but the one who surprised me the most tonight is 'big brother' Li Xian."

"Goddess ZW is still beautiful even though she's ugly, what a mess!"

"High-energy warning ahead: "Shaolin Soccer" is definitely a hot and passionate movie that will make you want to stop! Friends who like blood, competition, and martial arts must not miss it!"

It can be said that with only 2 hours left before the nationwide simultaneous release, the limelight of "Shaolin Soccer" has become the most discussed issue in the entertainment circle at the moment.Popularity and controversy coexist, saliva and eggs fly together, and the limelight of the movie masterpiece "Frozen Heart" and other low-budget movies of the same period have been completely overshadowed.

On the banner of the domestic authoritative film website Mtime.com, the initial score of "Shaolin Soccer" is as high as 7. As a commercial film, the score of this work has already surpassed many literary films that focus on the word-of-mouth market.Of course, the appearance of this score is not unrelated to the navy hired by the producer and distributor of "Shaolin Soccer", but even so, it is enough to represent that this is a movie worth watching.

If the posts and comments of the die-hard fans of the main actors are basically mixed with personal subjective emotions, then the long speeches of some professional film critics that followed can more objectively reflect the true reputation of the film.

The most surprising and surprising one is a blog published by Tang Yu, editor-in-chief of Xinhua News Agency, at 23 o'clock in the middle of the night.It is not like a film review, because there is no spoiler in the profuse space.It is even more unrealistic to say that it is a gunslinger draft, because Tang Yu is a typical knife-mouthed person in the entertainment industry. The most important reason for his popularity today is that every time a new work is released, he will be very suitable for the occasion. Criticize without mercy, and won't let it go until you have fun...

Even a few hours before the miracle night of "Shaolin Soccer" tonight, he posted a short blog claiming: "I will be invited to attend the premiere ceremony of "Shaolin Soccer" later, which can be regarded as a slight face to the boss of Wanda. Everyone If you don't want to part with me, you have to bother to prepare some quick-acting heart-wrenching pills, I'm afraid I'll get another heart attack from a bad movie..."

However, in just a few hours, Tang Yu published this self-defeating long Weibo.

"Before today, I might have had a neutral attitude towards "Shaolin Soccer". However, just over two hours ago, my attitude was completely reversed. The name Stephen Chow must have seen the domestic Everyone is familiar with the movie. It is hard for me to imagine that he, who has always been good at comedy and gray humor, will direct such a brand new work. I saw Stephen Chow's ambition. In other words, I also understand Stephen Chow The fundamental reason why it has been able to stand at the forefront of the domestic film industry for a long time..."

"This year's new work "Shaolin Soccer", which he has been dormant for two years, is still a comedy movie on the surface. As everyone thinks, Zhou Xingchi and his partners know the preferences of the market very well. It is enough to pat light and funny works. After all, looking at the current domestic market, there is no opponent who can share a piece of the cake with them. However, the theory is finally defeated by reality... "Shaolin Football" and Zhou Any of the previous works of the director are different, even vaguely higher. The special effects are shocking, the plot is compact, and the acting skills are superb... 2001/[-] of [-] has passed, I am here to make a bet with everyone, at least in this There won't be a better film on the market before the year is out."

"Of course, one reason is that the film is well shot and the story is well written. What impresses me the most is the amazing performance of several actors. Zhou Xingchi and ZW are both old actors, and they can be regarded as normal performances in this movie. , presenting what belongs to me. The only thing I want to mention is Li Xian, the idol Xiaosheng who set foot in the film industry for the first time. I think everyone should be thankful that Zhou Xingchi has found such an actor who can write surprises. He is The magic touch of the whole movie, he puts the finishing touches on the movie, he makes the whole movie realistic and vivid...I really never thought that he could do this.”

Throughout Tang Yu's film reviews, almost from head to toe, they praise and admire "Shaolin Soccer" without hesitation.This surprised many viewers who regarded him as a "compass for choosing a movie", and wondered whether this cursing editor-in-chief of Xinhua News Agency had taken the wrong medicine, otherwise how could he suddenly change his mind and praise a movie and a supporting role? ...

Of course, amidst more and more praises, some film critics and media personalities who love to stand out and are unwilling to be alone have expressed critical opinions.However, most of these criticisms were based on a sentence Zhou Xingchi said at the premiere ceremony... Superstar Zhou Xingchi actually said that half of the box office of "Shaolin Soccer" would come from Li Xian's crazy words!

As a result, the voices of doubt that came against the overwhelming praise from word-of-mouth gradually sprouted like mushrooms after rain.

"Is Zhou Xingchi so old that his mind is confused? You know, the last movie he starred in had a box office of 5000 million. If the box office of "Shaolin Soccer" is the same as the previous one, then Li Xian will call for more than 2500 million. Box office? Ridiculous, extremely funny!"

"It's true that Zhou Xingchi is confused, and that Li Xian is not a fuel-efficient lamp. When the media asked questions at the time, I noticed that after Zhou Xingchi released this sentence, Li Xian, as the person involved, did not have any unusual reactions. It seems that he Is he acknowledging this statement in a disguised form? Could it be that he really naively thought that he had grown to the point where he could carry a top movie? Since he is so arrogant and ignorant, I dare to say that the final box office of "Shaolin Soccer" will not exceed 3000W! "

"Indeed, Li Xian is only 20 years old after all, he is still too young... The domestic film market is indeed growing rapidly, and many audiences are willing to spend money to go to the cinema to have a good time. What you need to know is that even some in the film industry A superstar who has established a firm foothold does not dare to be so blindly confident..."

"Resist half of the box office? Well, let him just resist. Anyway, I will not go to the cinema to watch this "Shaolin Soccer". Even if its content is good and attractive, I will not pay for it. I I believe that the first-day box office of "Shaolin Soccer", which will be released tomorrow, will not exceed 300W, and the final box office may be stuck at 9, and it will be fixed at 999W! I am not allowed to eat keyboards, live broadcast!"

All of a sudden, two different voices came and went, and gunpowder was everywhere.Some people praised "Shaolin Soccer" as good-looking, and praised Li Xian as an amazing actor, but at the same time, some people said that Li Xian is an arrogant person, and "Shaolin Soccer" would lose morale because of him, and the box office would suffer a slump !

After attending the premiere ceremony, after returning to the apartment, Li Xian saw these messages on the Internet for the first time, and his expression was a little embarrassed. This time, he really got shot while lying down...

Although he has a good relationship with Zhou Xingchi, he has no way to influence other people's language.At that time, when Zhou Xingchi said "the general box office Li Xian is here to resist", he himself was still surprised... But after thinking about it, Director Zhou gave him such a degree of confidence and trust, so he should believe in his own ability even more.

Li Xian is very aware of his current popularity, but even in order to achieve Director Zhou's goal as much as possible, he should go all out in the promotion work, let more people know about the movie "Shaolin Soccer", and promote it. The higher the degree, the more box office will naturally be absorbed.

Because of this, he did not answer this question directly when interviewed by the media, but now it has become what some people call "admission in disguise".Li Xian smiled helplessly, the entertainment industry is indeed a bottomless muddy water, some people just like to find trouble for nothing, and they make things difficult for themselves and others.

However, this alternation of support and opposition is also another shortcut to increase the popularity of the film.Even some rebellious and masochistic viewers finally made up their minds to buy tickets to enter the cinema after seeing the comments criticizing Li Xian for being too confident and arrogant, so as to witness for themselves what kind of curious work "Shaolin Soccer" is ...

In other words, what kind of role Li Xian played in the film gave him such a confident attitude.

Of course, for the microscopes who are already die-hard fans of Li Xian, although they don't know what happened on the night of the premiere ceremony, they still maintain an attitude of full support for Li Xian.

The microscope group is mostly young people, and most of them are young and vigorous. They even think that if Li Xian said, "The movie "Shaolin Soccer" will explode at the box office because of me." This kind of talk is the most exciting, and it is the most in line with their idol's unrestrained and unrestrained style that sweeps away everything...

Many audiences who failed to attend the premiere ceremony and watched Miracle Night became more and more itchy and eagerly looking forward to it.They almost kept counting the minutes and seconds, just waiting for the zero o'clock on October 10st to enter the cinema to watch the topic-laden "Shaolin Football"...

At that moment, the 2001 National Day box office war is about to start the ultimate battle!
