Chapter 354 Box Office Storm (Part [-])
In other words, with the comments fueling the flames, the Hollywood Oscar jury has no choice but to face up to this literary film directed by Hong Kong people...

So they sent an invitation to Spain—inviting the film "The End of the World" to represent the Spanish film in this year's Oscar selection! ! !
With a bang, the whole world was in chaos.

The Spanish side is ecstatic, hahaha, although this film is directed and acted by Hong Kong people, but the premiere is in Spain, the filming is in Spain, and the post-production is in Spain. Most importantly, It was recommended to go to Hollywood from Spain.It can be said that this play is completely in the blood of "Spain"!
Proud, this is our pride!

At the same time, Hong Kong people far away in the east are dumbfounded! ! !
What's going on, this fragment, oh no, the literary film "The End of the World" was so popular in Spain, and then it even spread to North America, and it was so good at the Hollywood box office!
Did you make a mistake? !
Everyone was dumbfounded.

Who would have thought that this lousy movie, which was cast aside, disdainful, and didn't even bother to watch it, would be so highly praised by the European and American markets, and now it would be dragged to participate in the Oscar selection. God, earth, how can this be so embarrassing? !

As an important representative of the Hong Kong film industry, Mr. Wu Siyuan ran out at this time and commented to the Hong Kong media: "I expected such a day!"

Then, our dear Mr. Wu began to explain that the reason why he published those remarks criticizing "The End of the World" as a bad film and Chen Xiaotang as a bad director was entirely out of "the motivating feeling of hating iron but not steel".

"This man, I have to encourage him. In fact, from the very beginning of watching this movie, I found that this movie has bright spots! And the bright spots are very big! But others can't see it. As an old-timer in the film industry, I'm worried, what should I do? If I praise Chen Xiaotang a lot at this time, and praise his movies for being well-made and innovative, I will definitely spoil this young man."

"Young people are full of blood, young and energetic, and they can't stand the praise! How do you say that, humility makes people progress, and pride makes people lag behind! Based on this idea, I resisted being misunderstood by Chen Xiaotang himself, Under the pressure of being reviled by his fans, I published an article commenting on the shortcomings of his film. To be honest, I mustered up my courage when commenting, but for the sustainable development of the next generation of directors in Hong Kong, Hong Kong Films can prosper in the hands of the next generation of filmmakers, I can bear it!!"

"Now, it's exactly as I expected! After all, this drama is a pearl, and it has already shined brightly outside, in Spain, in Hollywood! What is pearl dust? This is it! What is foresight? I am!"

Mr. Wu Siyuan talked eloquently to the Hong Kong media. He turned his previous contempt for "The End of the World" into "encouragement" in disguise; ;In short, Mr. Wu continued to maintain his own lofty and righteous image, which can be regarded as a model image of a towering tree in the prosperity and development of Hong Kong movies.

Of course, after explaining why he criticized "The End of the World" like that before, Mr. Wu Siyuan began to scold the Spanish film industry as "a pervasive, despicable and obscene bandit" again!"An executioner who steals other people's cornucopia and uses it as his own urinal"!
""The End of the World" and its main creators, as well as the theme song episode, etc., are an integral part of Hong Kong movies. No matter from the subjective, objective, or factual point of view, this movie is very fragrant~ Hong Kong films created by Hong Kong people are part of Hong Kong films, and the Hong Kong film industry has indisputable sovereignty over them. So Spain wants to use this film to participate in the Oscars, which is simply a robbery ! Here, on behalf of the Hong Kong film industry, I would like to give them four words --- daydreaming!"

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

Mr. Wu's "daydream" can be regarded as a complete awakening of those Hong Kong filmmakers who are still in a daze.

Many people despise Mr. Wu's "transformation is too fast", and the speed is almost catching up with the "Scud missile"; but at this time, as long as they are not fools, they will stand up to protect the "interests of Hong Kong~Hong Kong movies".

Those Hong Kong film critics who insulted Chen Xiaotang and criticized "The End of the World" have a great ability to adapt to the situation.After the play was praised, he immediately suffered from amnesia, and began to publish new comments and new views in major newspapers and magazines.

Among them, the Hong Kong-Hong Kong Film Biweekly, which was first published, was sold out within half an hour of its listing.On the front page, it was a special report written by the editor of the newspaper.The topic is "Hong Kong Film Renaissance is coming! ".

"Last night, I was bored and went to watch "The End of the World" directed by Chen Xiaotang, a new director in Hong Kong. This time, I suddenly discovered that this is a rare good film! We all misunderstood this before. It's a play! It really shouldn't be done! Alas!"

"It can be said that this film has a very special meaning. It allows us Hong Kong people to forget the sufferings in real life in the ocean of movies, and tells us to be optimistic no matter what, with a kind of perseverance. , the determination to never bow to difficulties—this is the spirit of our Hong Kong people! We belong to the cockroaches that can never be killed. No matter how cruel the environment is, we can have fun while suffering, and this movie is our guide The street lamp is also a powerful source of our spiritual support!"

What follows is a specific analysis and specific comments on the play "The End of the World".

"If you want to say which movie is the most popular recently, it is undoubtedly the movie "The End of the World" directed by Chen Xiaotang! In this way, it is not only because European and American filmmakers raised the flag for it, nor is it because of Mr. Chen Xiaotang, the film and television singer. The popularity brought by talents is due to this innovative film both in form and style. It has made Hong Kong and the whole of Asia shine, and has seen the hope of Asian films. Last night, many people They were all overwhelmed by shock and astonishment. Everyone saw the strength comparable to Hollywood literary films, and saw the volcanic energy contained in the Hong Kong renaissance. Such a movie is undoubtedly a favorite of all The best gift Hong Kong people have received this weekend!"

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

On Hong Kong's "Ming Pao", some film critics also began to "put order out of chaos" and "redress the injustice" for this film.

"Almost, we almost missed a pearl-like movie. Yes, this movie is recently criticized by some bad people as bad and fragmented "Doomsday"! This movie is one of the most popular Hong Kong movies. In a movie that focuses on human feelings, Zhou Runfa, who plays the leading role in the play, vividly interprets a loving father who leads his son to hope at the end of the world. Facing that little boy, he was full of love from beginning to end, even risking his life Protect him. It is so pure that people are moved, like snow on an iceberg. Undoubtedly, only such literary and artistic films that focus on emotions can become classics in the future. Chen Xiaotang did it, we Hong Kong people did it!!!”

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

If this Ming Pao article by Takaya Jianrui clearly explained the classics of "The End of the World" from the perspective of form, then the comments on "Entertainment Weekly" are more emotional now.

"I have to admit that I had a dream in the cinema last night. In the dream, I returned to the sweetest time in my life. This movie directed by Chen Xiaotang is a great movie. He put a lot of human Elements are placed in this movie. So I want to say now that there must be a balance between justice and evil. Every word and deed can be distinguished by a frown and a smile. No matter how dangerous the end of the world is, this fatherly heart But it doesn't change."

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

In addition to the reports of these professional film critics, Huang Zhan, one of Xiangjiang's four great talents as his old friend, couldn't bear the loneliness and wrote an article.In the article, he didn't care whether he was suspected of helping his friends, and he didn't hesitate to praise him in the article; "You have to face up to such a genius! His charm is faintly passed through the movie, and he bursts out to dare to be the first in the world." Courage! When everyone accused him of making a bad film, accusing him of not acting well but being a director, accusing him of not doing his job properly, and being nonsense. He proved with facts how true everything these people said False and ridiculous!"

"On the day of the end of the world, dignitaries, dignitaries, oil kings, and fine species all boarded Noah's Ark. The big ship carried them in shock and sailed to a safe place... The above are our best expectations for the end of the world. If human civilization As the Bible says, it ends with a huge flood. All living beings are swallowed up by the huge waves and flood peaks, and the destruction is instant."

"What if the destruction doesn't come so quickly or so directly? This is the background of the story of "The End of the World". Slowly extinguished. But there are still creatures on the earth who survived, and they staggered forward on the road of desperation with a strong will to survive - harsh environment, lack of food, fragile beliefs... At this time, whether the truth, goodness and beauty will fade under the cover of animal instinct gone?"

"'People started to eat people, they hunted everywhere...'; in the basement of the 'bad guys', there are naked 'food people' locked up, lying here and there in a pool of blood, waiting to be gouged out at any time, steamed and fried Cooking, filling the stomach. There is no more naked explanation of "the strong eat the weak" than this scene. It is not uncommon in history for people to hunt each other when they are in a desperate situation. In the famous scene more than 2000 years ago In the "Battle of Changping", the Zhao army was besieged by the Qin army for many days, without reinforcements, and without food and grass. Therefore, there is a saying: "In September, Zhao soldiers were deprived of food for 46 days, and all of them were killed by the yin"; it is also a war In "Man Jianghong Angry Crown", "Aspirations to eat the meat of the barbarians hungry, laughing and talking about drinking the blood of the Xiongnu" must not only be Yue Fei's poetic sway. Therefore, when the "doomsday danger" comes and the "civilization" collapses, do you still Have the courage and confidence to hold on to the mercy like a candle?"

"Back to the movie, the movie has no ending, and the end is not over. In the end, it's just the child who started a new adventure. There is still a spark in the child's heart, and I don't know how far he can go..."

After explaining his impressions of this drama, the talented Huang Zhan finally concluded——
"It can be said that the content of this film is extremely rich. Director Chen Xiaotang's skill cannot be underestimated. The whole story is arranged with great pains, and the routines of literary films are very successful. The acting skills of the two leading actors are remarkable, and there are many surprises. After watching it, I just feel so emotional, although this word is generally used to describe epic movies, it is a bit inappropriate to use it here, but I couldn't find a more suitable word for a while."

"How far can Hong Kong movies go? When many people are still thinking about how to make money from filming, Mr. Chen Xiaotang has already taken a step ahead. He has combined the traditional Chinese humanistic spirit, including Mr. Lu Xun's "Madman's Diary" ", "Hell Without Doors" directed by Xu Ke, is packaged with doomsday elements. If this weird film style appears in other director's films, it will undoubtedly be a disaster, but Mr. Chen Xiaotang geniusly puts this This style has been brought to life! In this regard, he is successful!"

"We would like to thank Mr. Chen Xiaotang for once again providing Hong Kong with an epoch-making new film style, a new performance style! His masterpiece proves that for filmmakers, any kind of performance can be successful , and the most critical point is the director's overall ability to grasp the film. In this respect, we have to say that Chen Xiaotang himself has been condensed into a symbol, he - is a person born for the film!"

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

With the rave reviews of these adverse public opinions, "Doomsday Dangerous Journey", a movie that is about to be released, has regained its youth. Doomsday is not a hero, watch "Dangerous Road" without regret" slogan.And those ordinary Hong Kong audiences who are honest and honest, have no good discernment ability at all. Seeing so many people watching this former "bad show", they are curious, surprised, surprised, and dumbfounded... they even paid for it out of their own pockets. Jump into this fire pit——
Ever since, the box office of the movie "The End of the World" has skyrocketed!And the box office amount is still like taking aphrodisiac medicine, and it continues to be fierce...
