Chen Xiaotang's "Blizzard" album is earth-shaking and has caused a tornado in the North American market. At the same time, the movie "Assassin League" starring him, the king Mike and queen Madonna, will be fully released soon. Chen Xiaotang has no big requirements for this drama at the box office. However, the awards are always his greatest hope!

Chinese actors have always been unable to squeeze into the top Hollywood actors. It is even more unimaginable to win the best Hollywood honorary Academy Award.

This time, Chen Xiaotang relies on his superb acting skills and the characters he portrayed in "Assassin League" are no longer just like a kung fu star, but have incorporated the essence of "Fighting Club". So Chen Xiaotang is very hopeful and looking forward to being able to open the door to Oscars with this drama, but can he?!

"Assassin League" computer special effects almost collapsed the special effects company, and the requirements in the later stage also made all the strong men feel guilty. Chen Xiaotang's requirements were too high! However, this is a weapon he used to conquer all the movie prizes. How could he not create it to the most perfect?

In the end, this important task was handed over to Industrial Light and Magic. The Light and Magic boss Lucas had already had a relationship with Chen Xiaotang. In the words of other special effects companies in Hollywood, the relationship between the two was "not clear". The bearded Lucas and the handsome young man Chen Xiaotang were clearly in love, and they would go back and forth from time to time, making them ambiguous.

In fact, everyone wronged Chen Xiaotang. He is now half of the partner of Light and Demon. Although his partner vowed to never interfere with Light and Demon's internal affairs and future development when investing in Light and Demon, it is still necessary to occasionally make some small suggestions.

No matter what, Chen Xiaotang spent a lot of effort on the drama "Assassin League", and in the eyes of outsiders, he has invested a lot of money.

Yes, Chen Xiaotang is trying to use this "Assassin League" to attack Oscars and Golden State, otherwise why would he insist on investing in this drama? And with the power of Fox, he used such high computer stunts and performed so hard... Only by opening up countless joints and keeping the drama down can he open up the Ren and Du meridians like a martial arts master, and then pointing to the Oscars.

However, many Hollywood filmmakers are not so easy to fool. Chen Xiaotang's self-explanatory ambitions have made many people complain.

"Oh God, how is that possible? Does Rafi Chen want to enter the Oscars with this drama? A commercial film, a commercial film starring the Chinese? The Oscar door is not so easy to squeeze in!" - American "Entertainment Weekly".

"Lafite Chen's new film wants to target the Oscars, but we are very doubtful whether such an action film with a strong commercial atmosphere will be favored by the Oscar judges." - The Wall Street Journal.

"The Oscars' evaluation criteria have always been very strict, especially for movies starring foreigners, there is often an invisible discrimination. Therefore, this drama by Rafi Chen may fail and even get the Oscar nomination!" - US Time magazine.

...

No matter how the whole Hollywood judges or speculates about Chen Xiaotang's ambition work, one thing can be said that no one is optimistic about this drama's impact on the Oscars. After all, this drama is a commercial film, an action film, especially Chen Xiaotang is still a Chinese!

Just as the public opinion was full of rhetoric, the trailer for "Assassin League" came out. The first one was themed "Bullets will turn, and waste will become super powers". A trailer was sent on the American radio station for just two minutes, which allowed American audiences to see how to "use" the gun.

Immediately afterwards, the second trailer was released, this one was a duel between cold weapons. Especially the sword fighting in the film, which is almost comparable to Hong Kong martial arts films, is enough to make everyone dazzled. If these Americans had read Gu Long's novels, they would definitely recognize these moves: Fu Hongxue's Tianya Ming Dao, Xiao Li Tanhua's flying sword skills, and Ximen Chuxue's legend of the magic sword... Of course, in order to be down-to-earth, the "divine sword" here is an authentic Western sword...

No matter what, as soon as the two trailers were released, everyone was confused. What trick was Rafichen playing?

Unfortunately, this drama was not released immediately!

Looking forward, everyone is looking forward to it!

Hollywood people can't even believe that they will be so full of expectations for watching a movie.

People who like Chen Xiaotang think that it is worth looking forward to this kind of expectation!

Those who like King Mike and Queen Madonna also think it is worth it!

But in the eyes of many Hollywood film companies, this kind of expectation is so terrible!

Let me ask, since I have been in the Hollywood film industry, anyone who has never tried the "sweeping people's appetite" trick since I have been a big company like MGM, Warner, Universal and Columbia. But compared with this drama, it is simply not as good as the other person!

Have you seen thousands of movie fans who actually lined up to buy tickets in order to see this drama this morning, and some even stayed overnight on the streets? Do you see those crazy movie fans holding the poster of "Assassin League", shouting and swaying around the market? Do you see that Fox and its cinema pre-sale tickets have been sold out?

Injustice, injustice!

These major film companies believe that the reason why this drama became popular before it was released was not because Chen Xiaotang was too powerful, but because he pulled Mike and Madonna as the "signature".

However, these Hollywood tycoons did not give up. In their opinion, it is not who has the final say whether the play is good or not, nor is it because there are many big names in this drama, but it depends on the content.

Don’t think that you, a Chinese boy, can rest assured by joining your drama by joining two great Hollywood actors. Just look at the situation after the release. No one knows whether you laugh or cry!

You know, whether it is Mike or Madonna, they are the first time they are electrocuted in a movie. Hollywood bigwigs believe that the acting skills of this pair of kings and queens must be funny enough.

So, just wait and watch the fun!

Everyone is looking forward to it, October 12, 1986.

"Assassin League" has finally announced its official premiere.

But before the release, something happened because of our unscrupulous words from King Mike.

"The box office exceeded 500 million, is this howling? Or confidence?" - Los Angeles Times

"The movie has been generated for nearly a hundred years. From the initial box office revenue of hundreds of dollars to the current $100 million, the profits of the movie industry have been increasing. Of course, while the revenue has increased, the investment has not remained unchanged, and it is also increasing. As of now, the highest box office in the world is 540 million US dollars. Its name is "Star Wars" in 1977. The total global box office revenue is 710 million US dollars. Of course, because it has been produced for a long time, the box office has gradually increased to so much now. But no matter what, "Star Wars" is already the well-deserved 'box office king', which many people agree with."

"But, just yesterday, Mike, the King of Heaven, who starred in "Assassin", said directly that this drama will exceed 500 million! We don't know where his confidence comes from. Yes, although we all believe in his kingly position in the music industry, please forgive our straightforwardness in terms of movies. After all, he is still a young man! Unfortunately, his speech still touched our nerves. We are looking forward to this so-called "box office of over 500 million". We look forward to our King of Heaven's "sky soaring into the sky", or just relying on big talk and falling to death!"

...

"500 million US dollars, this is not a fun number!" - The Times

"There are always some crazy people in the world, Napoleon of France, Stalin of the Soviet Union... But now I want to say that a crazy person in the film industry is now freshly released, and this person is Mike Jackson, a pop king with many fanatical 'fans'!"

"Confidence is a good thing, and everyone should be confident. However, when this confidence breaks through one's own abilities, confidence is not called self-confidence, but called self-confidence."

"500 million US dollars? More than 500 million US dollars box office? God! I thought we, King Mike, were joking, but after confirmation, this is a bad acting... It seems that this is the King of the First King of His play, not a joke. Well, since he is so arrogant, let's take a look at the results and see how this King of Singers transforms into King of Drama..."

...

"What should we do if our idol Mike wants to break the record?" - "New York Chinese Community News"

"Brothers, sisters, gentlemen, ladies, have you seen the overwhelming advertisement? Have you seen our idol Mike Jackson's shocking record-breaking declaration? If you see it, please take action! We want to help him break the single-day box office on the premiere day, break the first week box office record, break the single-day box office record, break the... All records that can be broken will definitely help him with the box office declaration of more than 500 million US dollars. In short, we want to tell us dear Mike, he is not fighting alone!"

...

Hilton Grand Hotel.

When Chen Xiaotang woke up in the morning and turned on the TV and saw the overwhelming discussion, he was stunned at first, and then the phone in the hotel rang.

The phone call was from Mike Jackson, and the king buddy swears as soon as she opens her mouth, "Shit! So shit! These guys ask me on their own initiative how much the box office is, so I'm satisfied when I say that it can reach 500 million. But now, look at what they all say? What does it mean to speak loudly and what does it mean to be conceited? They don't just arrange it casually!"

Mike was furious and could hear his breathing sound on the phone.

"Fortunately, my fans are quite good enough and support me strongly! Now, I want to let those shits see that I, Mike, can not only sing, but also act!"

Chen Xiaotang didn't say a word when Mike complained, but just held the microphone and listened quietly. He waited until Mike stopped talking before asking: "Have you finished speaking?"

Mike: "It's over...what does it mean?"

Chen Xiaotang: "I mean it is very simple. Tonight is the premiere. We don't need to be a general experience with these short-simple gossip reporters. As for the box office of this drama, as long as we try our best, it will be OK!"

The other end seemed to be silent for a moment, and for a moment, "Dear Chen, you are quite open-minded."

Chen Xiaotang smiled: "It's not that I can think about it, but... look at the current TV..."

Chen Xiaotang said, turning his gaze to the TV.

At this time, the video on TV turned to the "Fox Theater" in Hollywood. The camera swept over. In addition to the towering heads, there were still dense heads on the scene. In countless crowds, a skinny reporter on the scene was squeezed and could not stabilize his body at all. More people gathered around the ticket office. Everyone held the banknotes high and shouted, "I want two tickets, I want two tickets!"

"Man, do you still have two more? Humph, there are only 800 tickets sold in total, and they sold them three days ago. Where can I give you the tickets?" The black ticket seller screamed in anxiety, and almost squeezed the ticket hall by the fanatical movie fans on the scene.

Countless Los Angeles police officers were fully armed and ready for fear of causing something out of control.

The picture turned back to the studio, and the white male host said with lingering fear: "Oh God, everyone is so crazy. Although today is Sunday, there is no need to waste time like this! Wouldn't it be good to sleep in?"

The female host giggled and said, "This is the charm of a super idol. Who said that the starring actor this time is the three Hollywood stars, not you?"

"I...I'm not a movie actor."

As the two hosts teased each other, the TV scenes also moved from the "Fox Theater" to major cinemas in Los Angeles. Then, New York, Chicago, New Orleans, San Francisco and other areas were all transferred.

The result was not disappointing. There were countless long queues waiting to buy tickets outside the cinema, and basically all of them were family members, among which there were countless young men and women.

Of course, it's an action movie!

It is suitable for both young and old, and the family-friendly model is inevitable.

The king of the phone, Mike, seemed to be shocked by the scenes broadcast on TV. It took a long time to remember that he was still talking to Chen Xiaotang.

Wasting phone bills!

"Chen, are these... all true?"

Although he knew that Mike couldn't see it, Chen Xiaotang shrugged, "Ask me, who will I ask."

"Oh my God, this is a miracle. There are so many people who can grab the ticket!"

"So, you, King Mike, have a great face!" Chen Xiaotang joked.

"Stop sarcasm, who doesn't know that you are the protagonist of this drama... But I have a clear idea now. According to this hot form, maybe our drama can really exceed 500 million!"

"I'll lend you a good word... Otherwise I'll go bankrupt!" Chen Xiaotang joked.

"Don't worry, I'm going bankrupt, I'll support you!" Mike laughed wildly.

Chen Xiaotang: “…?!”

On this end, as soon as Chen Xiaotang hung up the phone, Madonna called over there. There is no doubt that it was because of the TV report. In Madonna's opinion, the prelude to this drama is really too popular, and she doesn't know what the premiere will be tonight.

What Chen Xiaotang could say was of course a sign of confidence, especially when it came to Mike's big mouth "500 million", both of them couldn't help laughing.

Just as Chen Xiaotang and Madonna and others were in contact with each other, the atmosphere in the entire Hollywood film industry was completely ignited by the drama "Assassin League".

This is a place where crowds are surging.

A movie theater in Hollywood.

"I am a reporter from Sky TV. Now I am at the Big Times Cinema, the largest cinema in Los Angeles, for you!" The black male reporter said as he found a white man with a red face with a banknote in his hand, and asked politely: "May I ask, can I interview you?"

"Oh? Interview me? Well, of course!" The lady quickly put down the banknotes, then tidied her hair, and smiled charmingly, "Okay, we can start!"

"Okay!" the black reporter withdrew his eyes and asked, "Don't you know you like watching movies?"

"Of course!" the white man said with a smile: "As long as it's on holidays, I will definitely watch one or two movies, because it's a good way to relax, well, yes, I've developed this kind of relaxation habit."

"This is a good way to be praised!" the black reporter flattered and asked, "So, I don't know what type of movie you like to watch the most?"

"Historical films, lunar films, oh, and love films, just like "Rome Holiday"!" The white man smiled very comfortably and said to the camera: "I didn't like action movies originally, and I thought it was too bloody and violent, but because there are two big stars in the starring role, Rafi and Mike, as for Madonna, I don't like it very much, this girl is too sexy!"
