The word box office appeal is usually only linked to film and television stars. In China, the appearance of some young actors can ensure that the box office is absolutely not low. If it is a movie involving Stephen Chow, the box office is based on one billion yuan, these are the reflection of box office appeal.

However, in the United States, due to the existence of the Hollywood market, the competition among various film and television stars is quite fierce, and the box office appeal is not as obvious as that in China. Most of the time, we still have to look at the quality of the film. Even a first-line actress like Jennifer Lawrence is very cautious when making new films.

March is not a hot movie, so there are not many Hollywood blockbusters, but many movies choose to be released at this time.

The fifth Pirates of the Caribbean series, the fifth death without evidence, Jurassic World 2, and King Kong's sequel, Kong Skull Island, and the Hollywood anime movie "Space Battleship Yamato" will be released during this period.

It can be said that this month's summer season will definitely be a January when the box office in the United States explodes.

Hollywood stars such as Tom Hiddleston, Chris Pratt, Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom, Mark Wahlberg and other Hollywood stars will definitely have a strong impact on the vision of movie fans.

The protagonists of major movies ran all over the United States before the film was released, promoting the films they were filmed, striving to attract as many viewers as possible in this fiercely competitive January.

And at this moment, "Slam Dunk 2: Alien's Counterattack" was also released at the same time.

As a Hollywood anime, its release seems a bit silent. Not to compare with those Hollywood blockbusters, even compared with the same Hollywood anime "Yamato", its attention is incomparable.

But no matter what, it was indeed released at this time.

Because the air dunk 1 has a fair reputation and limited themes, the screening volume of major theaters is very low, and most of the people who choose to watch the movie are loyal fans of Tang Shuai or veteran basketball enthusiasts.

The box office competition started in March and became a fierce battle between Pirates of the Caribbean, Jurassic Park and King Kong.

And at this moment, the publicity of Tang Shuai's charity cycling broke out.

This is not intentional, because Tang Shuai wants to fight in the NBA. Even if there is publicity, Lin Yuner is leading the team to promote it, so he will not be able to appear on the scene.

In addition, Korean films and Korean movie stars are not popular in the United States, so the publicity effect can be imagined, which is also the reason why the schedule and box office are not high.

But just after the news of Tang Shuai spread across the United States in a "plague" manner, it had an unexpected publicity effect on the film.

For a time, the attendance rate of the slam dunk 2 in the air in major theaters soared sharply.

And this result allows more people who may not be interested to see this movie.

The plot of this movie is very well-known in the Hollywood style, and Tang Shuai and Lin Yuner's performance is quite tacit, which makes American fans very excited, and many people sigh that they almost missed such a masterpiece of animation.

The social mode in the United States is very different from that in China. They use more chat tools like Facebook and Twitter. The advantage of this tool is that it can have many friends at the same time. This communication speed is much more efficient than the live chat tool.

A better reputation means more recommendations, coupled with Tang Shuai's personal influence, the attendance rate of the Sky Dunk 2 achieved a blowout growth within a week. From the beginning of a few people, it quickly became full of every game.

Cinemas are all doing business. With the increase in reputation and attendance, the number of movies will naturally increase.

And more screening volume means more audiences and more box office.

This is a virtuous cycle, just like the anime Legend released in China two years ago, Slam Dunk 2 is copying this miracle that once happened in China.

The box office continued to grow. On the fifth day after its release, Slam Dunk 2 beat the already slightly weak King Kong, Jurassic World and Pirates of the Caribbean, becoming the first box office in the day.

This film and television miracle made all kinds of film critics stunned. Perhaps no one expected that an anime would successfully reach the top under the attack of three major blockbusters. You should know that this anime is different from the super movies of the Ice Age and the Crazy Primitive Man. His reputation and box office of the previous one were barely recovered. This contrast brought people a great sense of shock.

And this sense of shock has made the attention attracted by this film go higher, and it has already shown a burst of feeling.

I'm afraid this will become an unprecedented counter-growth film in the United States, just like the Chinese Legend of the Great Sage.

Although Tang Shuai was in the competition and training, he watched the premiere of Slam Dunk 2 under the invitation of the organizer. Although the box office of the movie was not always paid attention to, public opinion would appear from time to time, and he would know that it would appear.

In fact, even he himself never expected that the first movie he participated in would be so explosive.

Even when he heard that the box office exceeded 50 million US dollars in the first week, he felt confused. You should know that the box office of the other three major films was only more than 70 million, which was the result of almost no box office two days ago.

According to the growing number of moviegoers, it is a foregone conclusion that the US has exceeded 100 million by 2.

Tang Shuai, without even realizing it, actually created a miracle.

When he watched Duffy keep talking about the box office next to him, he couldn't help but ask himself suspiciously: "Do I really have a talent for acting?"

In fact, this is just the box office in the United States. With the reputation brought by this high box office, I believe that the situation will only become more popular after it is released in China.

Of course, Tang Shuai would not consider these. These were unexpected surprises for him, but they were just unexpected surprises. For him, the NBA game was the end point he paid attention to. After March passed, in more than half a month, the 2017-2018 season's playoffs will come.

After Cousins' mentality was adjusted, the Lakers' record has also risen during this period, and their 10-win and 4-loss record in March has improved significantly compared with the previous two months.

The team's good record is gratifying, and what makes Tang Shuai even more excited is that after the last charity ride, the relationship between him and Leonard further heated up. After going out for fun together, the two officially became friends.

After giving up Anxi's defensive package, he naturally got a chance to play with Leonard.

Leonard has a death-wrapped defensive package, coupled with his excellent physical fitness and good offensive methods, his strength is among the top five in the league. He is slowly reaching the peak and has become more and more stable, and he has already faintly become the league's number one small forward.

Such an opponent is a very powerful opponent.

But it depends on who is the person who is competing with him.

Although he has not received an exclusive defensive package, he has obtained a purple defensive package after "training" with Batum last time, so in terms of overall strength, he is steadily above Leonard.

After a bullfighting competition, Tang Shuai successfully defeated Leonard and obtained the death entanglement defensive bag on him.

At the moment of success, he felt relaxed all over his body.

The playoffs begin soon, and the skill packages he has on both offense and defense are enough to give him the strength to look down on any opponent. After a series of operations in the draft and offseason, the Lakers' personnel configuration has been relatively perfect.

Looking back on the three years since Tang Shuai joined the NBA, facing the powerful Warriors, when Griffin and Paul were both injured, he relied on fighting spirit and a single consumption package to eliminate the defending champion, almost performing a decisive move. Although he lost to the Thunder later, it was also the last moment of strength and fighting spirit.

The next year, his lineup with the Lakers was not good at all, but with his rapid improvement in his own strength and his teammates' extraordinary performance, they still thrilledly eliminated the Warriors and entered the finals. Although his injury made this finals journey helpless, and even felt like he gave the Cavaliers a championship, no one could deny his outstanding performance in seven games with his teammates and the Warriors, because anyone who fought with the Warriors in the 4th Warriors would not only lose their skin, but also hurt their muscles. That time it was really hurting.

But no matter how shocking or regretful the competitions in the previous two years were, this year should be the one that Tang Shuai has the most chance and the most likely to win the championship since joining the NBA.

Among the predictions of major websites, the Lakers are also ranked among the Cavaliers, and after the Warriors, they become the third favorite to win the championship this season.

On April 18, 2018, US time, when the regular season was about to end, Tang Shuai received another good news.

After the success of the Air Dunk 2 in the United States, it successfully logged into overseas markets, including the Chinese market.

The box office achieved by the film in other regions is much weaker than that in the United States. After all, it is just an animation film. After all, basketball has not had such a wide influence around the world.

But this did not affect the popularity of this film, because in China, on the day of its premiere, it directly exceeded 200 million yuan, becoming the highest-grossing film on the first day of 2018, and also became the best anime movie in the first day of the domestic box office history, crushing all other American blockbusters.

This is the same as when Warcraft movies landed in China. People's expectations for Tang Shuai and the reputation promotion of this film in the United States have made it reach an unprecedented height for anime movies.

Tang Shuai, a basketball player, was so gorgeously surpassed a number of domestic and foreign movie stars and became the most box office-friendly "actor" in March without even realizing it. (To be continued.)
