One shot crippled the protagonist's arm, followed by random shooting, the protagonist clutched his head and ran away, while the seductive daughter would just stand aside and scream.
The boyfriend continued to chase, but at this critical moment, Wu Jing came over with a whip.
Zhang Jin followed up with two more hits, bang bang!
The boyfriend was beaten like a sandbag, his neck was bent at an incredible angle, and he fell limply to the ground.
"Ahhhhh!"
The eldest daughter continued to act like an idiot and ran over screaming.
The protagonist got up with a look of disbelief on his face: "Do you know Kung Fu?"
"Is it weird that we know kung fu?"
"Why don't I see you show it off usually?"
"..."
Zhang Jin and Wu Jing looked at each other, as if they were confused, and shrugged: "I usually break the law."
"Ha ha!"
The whole audience burst into laughter, including Milner, who also had a very subtle and indescribable feeling.
The killing day has begun. The protagonist and his wife invite the two of them to stay for safety. They say it is for safety, but in fact they also mean to protect themselves, but they are rejected.
"Sorry, of course I have to spend this kind of time with my family."
"Yes, my wife is still making soup."
Zhang Jin and Wu Jing went out. The protagonist watched from the surveillance camera. The two men knocked over several old white men who were armed with guns, got into the car and drove away.
Milner didn't care much about the next plot.
He has been thinking about the significance of the appearance of these two Chinese actors. First of all, the lines "usually break the law", "be with the family" and "make soup" are very consistent with the "stereotype" of Chinese people.
However, what these two people did was not what those Chinese characters did in the past.
And their scenes were very short, they showed up and then left, just like the reclusive masters in traditional Chinese stories, who took off their clothes and hid their achievements and fame.
This kind of artistic conception can also be understood by Westerners, and there is no cultural barrier - there are many similar characters in cowboy movies.
This created an effect, and the audience was extremely impressed by these two people!
There is also the idiot-like eldest daughter, the idiot-like younger son, the protagonist who is more unjust than Dou E, the virgin bitch-like wife, and the righteous black man...
"Interesting, so interesting!"
The more Milner thought about it, the more interesting it became, and he seemed to have figured out Yao Yuan's train of thought.
For example, in Hollywood movies, there are two conventional villains, one is the remnant of Germany, and the other is the Soviet Union/Russia. Hollywood is used to filming this way, and people all over the world are used to seeing it this way.
Later, there were fewer Russian villains, and Chinese villains sneaked in to take over.
Why do you say sneaky?
Because the Chinese market is huge, those works that will not be released in the Chinese market usually engage in small tricks like this.
And Yao Yuan wants to build a video website for overseas countries and release different works to different countries. If they are all shot like "The Purge", that would make sense.
"What a terrible movie, it completely failed to live up to my expectations!"
"I think it's great. You can kill people for 12 hours without breaking the law. Wow, cool!"
"I hope if there is such a law, I can use my father's gun and kill the annoying Jason first!"
"I also want to kill Jason, but I will kill my shitty dad first."
In the aftermath of the movie, which was full of joy and education, Milner walked out of the cinema and went to dine alone, thinking about these things while eating.
He holds the investment property of Russian oligarchs and is looking for projects all over the world. The United States is the capital base, where can he find it? Last year, he invested in Facebook to take advantage of the financial crisis.
So his current focus is on Europe, but the European market is too small.
"..."
As Milner was eating, he suddenly looked to the east. It seemed that he had to go there. There was a huge and lively market over there.
…
"The Purge" is distributed by Rogue Films and Lionsgate.
A mid-range scale of 2,536 theaters was arranged. Three days after the first weekend, the results came out, which shocked everyone: the single theater score was as high as 14,345 US dollars, and the total box office was 36.37 million US dollars!
The cost of this film was only 3 million!
“There are flaws, but more interesting are the surprises!”
"The problem with this kind of high-concept movie is that you make up a good-looking setting and then make a bunch of garbage!"
"This is the kind of film that relies entirely on crappy music and jumpy editing, but it never really scares the audience. The characters are pale, the story twists are clumsy, and there aren't many surprises."
The film critics criticized it unceremoniously, with an IMDB score of 7.
So why is the box office so good?
Because it hits a part of the movie-watching group, it doesn’t need to be liked by everyone, just a part of it is enough. No matter how bad "Tiny Times" is, it can't hold up against the 4 movies with a total box office of 1.7 billion.
The employees of Rogge Films cheered and celebrated, things are unpredictable.
They thought they would soon be unemployed again and their small company would go bankrupt, but they didn't expect the first movie to be successful. Not only that, "The Purge" is very suitable for sequels, TV series, and IP development.
An IP is equivalent to an iron rice bowl that can last for a long time.
When the data was sent back to China, Yu Jiajia naturally hyped it up.
“The entry into Hollywood has been off to a good start, with the box office of the first film approaching US$100 million!”
"Wu Jing and Zhang Jin made stunning appearances, ranking first in the audience survey!"
"99 Entertainment successfully landed in Hollywood!"
People in China are also very excited. This is not a Chinese-language film such as "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" or "Hero", but an English-language film controlled and produced by a Chinese company. The meaning is completely different.
Especially when "Avatar" was making rapid progress in the mainland, the success of "Human Purge Plan" seemed to open up another possibility to everyone.
That is: Capital enters Hollywood.
It’s time to say it or not. In 2012, Wanda will acquire the American AMC theater chain, and in 2016, it will acquire Legendary Pictures, and then create the Sweet Universe.
Alas, poor Tiantian!
…………
Beijing, airport.
This year's New Year's Eve is in February, and January is a busy time. The Capital Airport is filled with passengers coming and going. In the parking area outside, Yao Yuan is sitting in a Bentley and yawning.
Yin Yin was in a good mood yesterday but didn't sleep well.
The average woman can walk around for three hours without getting tired, but her legs will feel weak after sitting on it for three minutes.
Yinyin is just the opposite.
"ha!"
He touched his 30-year-old waist. Hey, he was already 30 years old, not to mention that he still didn't remember this. At the age of 30, such a large family fortune was not an embarrassment to the reborn person.
"Out!"
Xiao Mohu said.
Yao Yuan took a look and saw Cheng Wei leading a bald foreigner out, it was Milner.
"Yao!"
"haven't seen you for a long time!"
"Thank you for coming to pick me up in person."
Yao Yuan got out of the car and shook hands, and a few people got in the car. The fact that Bentley was dispatched today showed that he valued Milner.
"Let's go to the hotel first. I'll arrange the dinner. Tomorrow we'll see the Forbidden City, the Old Summer Palace, and the authentic alleys of Old BJ. Try the bean juice, braised stew, and the nine-turn large intestine..."
"Yao! Yao!"
Milner stopped him and said: "We'd better talk about things first."
"Oh, don't worry, you have to stay for a while this time. We have time to talk."
