The movie started soon, and Berger walked into the theater with disdain. Looking around, the attendance rate was actually pretty good, about 30%, which was quite rare for a foreign movie.
phenomenon.
Waiting boredly, Berger thought about what posture he should use tonight to communicate happily with Mary. Mary was quite excited and sent a tweet before the movie started. She has a group with people in it.
Although there are not many fans of Li Hyuk, they are quite loyal.
This group shares all information about Lee Hyuk, his life, his works, including the first bad drama "Palace" in which he appeared in the debut. You can find it in this group.
If Li Hyuk knew that he actually still has a group of die-hard fans in North America, he would be very happy. After all, it is not easy to break the racial restrictions and become a global idol star. I have always heard that Tom Cruise, DiCaprio, etc.
Many European and American celebrities have many fans in China, but I have never heard of Chinese celebrities having any fans in Europe and the United States. From this aspect, Li Hyuk is still the first.
This is thanks to Damien Chazelle. If it weren't for his two film works, Li Hyuk might not be able to gain popularity in Europe and the United States. Some people may say that if you care about your reputation in Europe and the United States, aren't you a licker?
In this regard, Li Hyuk could only say that people who can say such things are too young. Only European and American stars are allowed to come to China to make money, but Chinese stars are not allowed to go to Europe and the United States to make money? Going out to make money from foreigners is just licking? What is this?
reason?
It's all about making money. It's better to let others make money than to let yourself make money. At least if you make money yourself, you will use part of it for charity and pay taxes on time. What everyone should really pay attention to should be those with poor moral character, illegal and disorderly people.
Ji’s stars...
The movie started very quickly, and Berger was a little disdainful at the beginning, just wanting to get through the movie time so that he could quickly get into the main action.
But as the plot of the movie progresses, he becomes addicted and falls...
"Fake, is this red-haired monster alive?"
"The gift crab, the desert army ants are so scary..."
"Wow, this oriental beauty is so elegant, I love her so much."
"Shet, where is this ghost cave? It's so scary?"
Berger and the audience in the cinema were immersed in this epic adventure movie from the East and couldn't help themselves. The more than three hours of the movie did not feel boring at all, but intoxicated.
After the movie ended, Berger didn't want to do anything anymore. He didn't see some of the previous plots, so he bought another movie ticket and watched it again. Mary went back to school alone.
There was more than one person who had the same idea as Berger. Most of the viewers who went to the cinema to watch "Jingjue Ancient City" had the same idea: "This Chinese movie seems to be extraordinary..."
On its first day of release in North America, "The Ancient City" took in a box office of 9.87 million U.S. dollars, ranking sixth on the box office list. This result is not good, mainly because the North American summer season has been in intense competition since April.
In contention.
"Avengers 3", "The Incredibles 2", "Jurassic World 2" have appeared one after another, as well as other films. It can be said that "The Last Days" achieved this result under the siege of Hollywood commercial blockbusters.
However, although Hollywood movies have achieved great success this year, they lack a trace of novelty, and the audience is a little aesthetically tired. However, "The Ancient City" brought a unique temperament as soon as it was released.
To be fair, "The Ancient City" is undoubtedly in line with the characteristics of mainstream commercial films, with a handsome and capable male protagonist, a vase female protagonist, funny supporting characters, etc. At the same time, the movie also shows a gorgeous underground world with all kinds of weird things.
The creatures and evil legends all aroused great curiosity among the audience.
This is also thanks to the efforts of the North American distributors. Before its release, Warner worked hard to promote the IP "Ghost Blowing Out the Lamp" in North America. The promotion effect of the media group is quite obvious. The world's most popular singer never expected that his own
It went abroad and sold tens of thousands of copies in North America.
As word of mouth spread, "The Ancient City" earned US$15.365 million in a single day on Saturday and US$14.232 million on Sunday, ranking fourth in the weekly box office with US$39.467 million in its first week.
Not only did the film have a good box office, but it also received a very good reputation, with an imdb score of 8.2, a Rotten Tomatoes freshness score of 85%, and an average score of 91 points from theater audiences. Warner Pictures' confidence increased greatly, and it once again expanded the scale of its North American release in the second week.
The number of theaters showing "The Ancient City" has reached 3,850, creating a record number of theaters for Chinese-language films to be shown in North America.
At the same time, the media under Time Warner began to promote "The Ancient City" overwhelmingly, discussing the film on a large scale in online television and newspapers.
""The Ancient City" - an adventure epic movie from China, Tom Lee's strong skills, and the colorful world of tombs. This is a treasure hunting movie that is even better than "Tomb Raider"."
"Los Angeles Times".
"Lee once again showed his unparalleled charm. When he took off his shirt to reveal his muscular upper body, the women in the entire cinema went crazy. There is no doubt that Lee is the most popular after Bruce Lee and Jack Cheng.
Oriental Male Stars." "Times".
"When we were struggling with the difficult production of "Raiders of the Lost Ark," a movie from China filled the gap. After all, Dr. Indiana Jones is too old, and the adventurous little prince Bayihu is still young. I have
I believe there will be a sequel to this wonderful movie in the future. As long as there is a sequel, I will definitely take my family to watch this movie." Roger Ebert commented in the Chicago Times.
Not only the media, but North American netizens on the Internet are also discussing this film a lot. Male fans are very interested in the exciting plot, while female fans are most interested in Li Hyuk.
Among them, Li Hyuk exposed his muscular upper body in the film and it was widely circulated, attracting female movie fans to watch and drool. This is the case in North America. It would be difficult for a comely type like Lu Xiaohan to be popular because she looks like a sissy. And sissy is the most popular among gays in North America.
Synonymous with affection, no woman will like a sissy unless she is mentally weird. She seems insecure.
However, in Asia, people like Lu Xiaohan are very popular. It can only be said that the aesthetics of each region are different. However, there is a saying that a strong country must also have a strong male consciousness. You can have handsome men, but they should not become
Mainstream, this is something that affects aesthetic safety.
In short, because of Li Hyuk's initial popularity, "The Ancient City" achieved good results in the early stage. And because of the good results of "The Ancient City", Li Hyuk received more attention. It is not that no one paid attention to other actors.
It's just not that obvious compared to Li Hyuk.
The results achieved in North America strengthened the confidence of Warner Pictures. Later, "The Ancient City" began to be released in the United Kingdom, France, Germany and other regions.
