The smoke in the film industry has dissipated a lot.
The group of directors who united to criticize Zhou Yang became quieter as the month came closer to the end of the month.
Especially when the box office of the movie "Jaws" officially exceeded 500 million on September 30, the noise in the film industry against Zhou Yang became less and less.
Countless filmmakers and directors in China were not only shocked when watching "Jaws", but they felt more like witnesses.
Witnessing the birth of another James Bond film that dominates the world...
At the same time, it also witnessed that Zhou Yang was about to turn the Chinese film industry upside down with his own power!
The box office of "Men in Black" has reached an astonishing 550 million. This movie has only been released for a month. During the National Day Golden Week, this movie can pull in the box office again.
According to professional analysis, "Men in Black" is very likely to officially exceed 600 million on October 3!
"Counterattack", a movie adapted from Zhou Yang's real person, was released for 28 days. Although it has not been completed, its influence is getting smaller and smaller. The daily box office has dropped to more than two million. The total box office is quite good, reaching
An astonishing 300 million. Although the actor Li Chengwei, who plays Zhou Yang's father, only appeared in a few scenes in "Counterattack", he became an instant hit. Weibo fans increased by hundreds of thousands because of this movie. The actor who plays Zhou Yang
A young actor named Jiang Long is also very popular in the industry. He is called "Little Zhou Yang" because he looks like Zhou Yang from the side. Every time he attends various events, he is surrounded by countless fans asking for autographs, and he has even been
After admitting his mistake and becoming Zhou Yang, he really became addicted to a superstar.
[Huaxing announced that it will shoot the following movies written by Mr. Zhou Yang: "Infernal Affairs 2", "The Grandmaster 2", "Crazy Stone", "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", "The Overheard", "The Guard 2"
, "Spider-Man"...]
Huaxing's official Weibo post was once again trending. Under the hot searches, the mockery from the navy has disappeared, and there are only countless shocks and expectations.
[Is it possible that Zhou Yang really has to support the Chinese film industry in the second half of the year by himself! 】
"..."
The morning of September 30th.
Someone posted this sentence on Weibo.
The poster, Chen Shan, is a college student in the media department. It was just an unintentional move at first. After watching "Men in Black", I was amused by the plot and Will Smith. I also saw that Zhou Yang was making a big splash in the film industry.
It was so huge that she participated in the discussion on #zhouyang# and posted this sentence. But when she returned to the dormitory at noon, her roommate excitedly told her that her Weibo had exploded!
She came to the computer and saw that the number of Weibo topics that usually had only a few or at most dozens of replies suddenly increased to tens of thousands, and were promoted to hot searches. After once ranking among the top three hot searches, she couldn't believe it.
He wiped his eyes.
"Is it really popular?"
"Isn't this a big deal? Everyone is commenting on your Weibo, saying they want to kill you, the prophet!"
"I just posted it casually, but I don't really believe it..."
Chen Shan murmured to herself after looking at the countless replies on her Weibo.
but……
Not long after she finished speaking, she saw her roommate suddenly let out a scream, which made her eardrums vibrate continuously.
After a while, she looked at her roommate speechlessly.
But he saw his roommate staring at the big screen and muttering to himself: "Oh my god, Shen Changwei's new movie has been filmed and will be officially premiered on October 1st!"
"What?"
"Shen Changwei's new movie, "Sniper Phone Booth", this movie stars Chen Shuangbao produced by China Star. This is not important. The most important thing is that the entire shooting time of this movie was only three days!"
After Chen Shan heard what her roommate said, she immediately stood up and stared at Shen Changwei and Hua Xing's Weibo posts.
When she saw the news that ""Sniper Movie Booth" will be officially released on October 1st, Chen Shan was stunned!
"What's going on? Is Shen Changwei crazy?"
……………………
"It took three days of shooting and three days of post-production? Will it be released directly on October 1?"
"Starring Chen Shuangbao? Who is Chen Shuangbao?"
In the villa.
I was eating lunch when I heard the news brought by my assistant, and stared blankly at the introduction of the movie "Sniper Phone Booth".
After staring for a long time, he never came back to his senses.
In the end, I still couldn't believe that Shen Changwei, who had always been very calm, would suddenly do such a stupid thing, so he asked his assistant to find out what was going on in this movie.
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster!
This is really too weird!
Before a movie is released, it will definitely go through all kinds of publicity, and then use all kinds of gimmicks. Finally, after it is almost warmed up, it will be officially released to win a good box office.
"Sniper Phone Booth" does not follow this approach at all!
There was no publicity at all, it even appeared on Huaxing and Shen Changwei’s personal Weibo without any warning, and the schedule for November was even set.
It just appeared out of nowhere, so sudden that it caught people off guard!
About half an hour later, the assistant opened the door again, but when he pushed the door in, there was a trace of solemnity on his face: "Aside from the breaking news on Weibo, "Sniper Phone Booth" has done a good job in keeping secrets.
I can't get any information at all..."
"This guy won't make a big bad movie, right?" Chen Kai didn't know what to say for a while.
"I don't know." The assistant shook his head: "There has never been a movie released so suddenly... But I have to admit that the stunt is really awesome! "Sniper Phone Booth" has been on the hot search, and the discussion it triggered is almost
It exploded..."
Chen Kai didn't say anything, but saw the popularity on the Internet.
On the Internet, netizens are shocked that this movie was shot in such a short time, and even more shocked that such a short movie was released on October 1st, such a critical moment.
"Bad movie", "Too irresponsible" "Shen Changwei came into action when the crisis was critical. After other directors withdraw, there must be movies to fill in, right?" "It's too disgusting, I will never watch a bad movie!" "But
Don’t you want to see what was taken?”
After being shocked, there were a lot of comments like this. In addition to these comments, film critics such as Ba Liming, Zhang Chao, and Du Fei all revealed the truth about the sudden release of "Sniper Phone Booth" on their Weibo. Every one of them broke the news.
The place below is filled with countless movie fans, and the popularity continues to grow.
After browsing for a long time, Chen Kai finally called Shen Changwei.
He hoped that his old friend could "stop the horse" and even thought about it, "We are only targeting Zhou Yang, not you. There is no need to do this. This is aiding the evildoers. If you are not safe at the end of the day, don't make a mistake."
if.
However……
After calling for a long time, there was always a blind tone.
No one answered the phone from beginning to end.
"Forget it, he is looking for death and no one can help him!"
"Among the National Day movies this year, I guess only Guan Tong's "The Youth We Chased Together" can hold up..."
"However, another Hollywood superhero movie "The Lizard" is about to be released... isn't this being crushed into scum?"
Finally, Chen Kai threw the phone away with a sneer on his face.
"Director Chen..."
"What's wrong?"
“The premiere of ‘Phone Booth’ seems to be sold out!”
"Huh? How is it possible? It's only been half a day, right?"
"..."
…………………………
"Infernal Affairs" is finished.
In the end, the film was released with an unsatisfactory box office of 670 million.
It was a big hit when it was released, but it was very low-key when it was released, with almost no waves.
No one scolded, no one ridiculed, and no one pointed fingers at this movie.
It seems that the closer October 1 comes, the more subtle the atmosphere on the Chinese Internet becomes.
In the evening of September 30th, the hostility on the Internet had completely disappeared, but the discussion of "Sniper Phone Booth" became even more intense, and even once the Hollywood superhero movie "The Lizard Man" was included.
Suppressed, Guan Tong originally wanted to take advantage of October 1st to promote "The Youth We Chased Together in Those Years", but found that no matter how much he promoted his movie, it couldn't be a hot search, so he had to give up in the end.
"The release of "The Lizard Man" was postponed to October 3, and "The Youth We Chased Together" was released the next day..."
"But I still think that "The Youth We Chased Together" may be thrown into the street. With so many blockbusters, it suddenly feels like the National Day schedule is really crazy..."
"There's no way..."
"Is it really okay for the movie "Phone Booth" to be released on October 1st?"
"I've seen the movie, there's nothing wrong with it..."
"An Xiao, did Shen Changwei really spend three days shooting this movie?"
"Actually, it's two days. Sorry, I'll take a call."
"..."
evening.
The sun sets in the west.
Guan Tong and An Xiao drank coffee and chatted.
"The Youth We Chased Together" was actually supposed to be released a long time ago, but because it had to give way to "Infernal Affairs" in the first half of the year, and there were so many Hollywood movies, it had to be postponed.
In fact, the most fundamental reason is that Guan Tong suddenly lost confidence in his own movie and began to edit the movie repeatedly. The post-processing of this movie alone took a month.
Just when Guan Tong lowered his head and began to hesitate whether to give "The Youth We Chased Together" to Yan Yiyan again, he saw An Xiao coming over after making a phone call.
"Sorry, I have to go, I have to pick up my boyfriend."
"???"
Guan Tong's initially anxious mood suddenly turned into shock.
Looking at An Xiao with a calm face, at this moment, she never dreamed that she could actually hear the word "boyfriend" from An Xiao's mouth.
When she was stunned, she saw An Xiao put on sunglasses, picked up her bag and left the cafe with her head lowered and in a hurry.
Looking at the empty seats, he looked out the window at An Xiao getting into the car.
