A massive military parade made the blood of the people across the country burst out and boil, and the faith inspired by the nation's common struggle and progress gathered like turbulent waves into passionate hymns and surging patriotism on the Internet.
Speech.
Video websites such as Sohu Video Network, Tudou Video Network, pptv Network, etc. have provided online live broadcast channels. Major domestic TV stations have even broadcast live broadcasts of the entire event. There are even more people near Tiananmen Square. It can be said that the whole country is rejoicing and the whole world is celebrating.
Among them, the heroic collective appearance of the navy, army and air force, the valiant and tall figures of the artillery and the people's armed forces, the youthful and powerful sonorous steps of the reserve forces, the steel torrent composed of nationally produced equipment...
I can only use one sentence to evaluate it: Sixty years ago, I sacrificed so much for my ambition, but now I dare to ask the sun and the moon to change the sky!
This military parade is to remember the prosperous and ruined past, to commemorate the civilization that was broken and resurrected, to bid farewell to the difficult sixty years, and to revitalize the country to create a glorious present and future.
Under the witness of all the people, it is really a joy to watch!
On social platforms such as Weibo, Tieba, and forums, hot topics related to the military parade have always ranked first, and no topic can compete with it.
This is a normal and healthy humanistic environment for the country and society.
Compared with the chaotic humanities in the West, whenever national events happen, the popularity is never as high as gossipy news about some celebrities, or topics such as a certain song reaching the top of the Billboard.
Just go to any Western country, or log onto YouTube through the Internet wall, and look at their hot search list on Facebook, and you will know what the so-called "happy education" and "entertainment first" are.
In comparison, even if there is occasional chaos in our public opinion field, it is nothing but a big deal.
If there is no major situation, there will always be rebels jumping out to cause trouble.
However, under today's strong patriotic trend, the Internet appears to be extremely clean. Unanimous patriotic declarations have become the mainstream trend, and no troublesome remarks have come out to disrupt the situation. It can be said that the devils have retreated and the devils have hidden themselves.
Those little devils usually make noises, but at most they can only have some influence in the small circle.
If you dare to take the lead today, you will have to bear the consequences. Naturally, they do not have the courage.
The major media are also well aware of the political consciousness in the public opinion field. Most media and self-media only focus on reporting news about the military parade, and other news are temporarily shelved.
It was not until the glory of the military parade in the morning came to an end, and after an afternoon of extensive publicity and heated discussions, that the strong cohesion spontaneously generated by the people of the country persisted in the evening.
Official media continued to promote content related to the military parade, while major media outlets began to return to their regular businesses.
The previously shelved news about "Skyfall" soon spread quickly on the Internet.
#130 million pre-sales miracle, science fiction themes may become a new trend in the film industry#
"130 million? Or pre-sale? Real or fake."
"This must be an industry record, right?"
"There are not many movies that have exceeded 100 million in domestic box office. These are just pre-sale results. You can tell whether it breaks the record."
"Last year's top-selling movie "Red Cliff" had 40 million pre-sales, last month's "The Founding of the People's Republic" had 60 million pre-sales, and this movie has 130 million pre-sales. This is not a record-breaking, it is a breakthrough across the ages and transcends the present.
The normal rhythm of market development.”
"Let it be popular! I just came home from the cinema. This movie is so well shot. The special effects are top-notch, the setting is novel, the plot is clean and neat, and the world view is extremely grand. It deserves to be popular. It is really beautiful. I have never seen anything like this before."
It is a well-produced and well-produced domestic film that convinced me."
"No wonder everyone who has seen it said that this movie is really wonderful. Even my husband, who basically sleeps while watching movies, actually watched it with gusto this time. This movie is really well shot, and the performances of the actors are also very good.
."
"This is called a domestic blockbuster! Those movies that were called blockbusters in the past are not at the same level as this one!"
"I wish there could be more movies like this. I went to see it this afternoon and it was super enjoyable!"
"If nothing else, prepare for the second brush!"
"..."
#The planned film schedule breaks through the industry standards, the share of released films is increased again, and the new darling of the National Day movie theaters#
"The number of films scheduled is 44%. Can anyone knowledgeable in the industry tell me what this data means?"
"Exclusively 44% of 100%, what do you mean?"
"A cinema has three halls. If a total of 20 movies are shown a day, nearly 9 of them will be showing "The Sky", which means that nearly half of the total National Day box office will be collected by this movie.
,understand?"
"To explain it more simply, the total box office for the two months of the National Day holiday last year was 1.2 billion. This year, according to the market development pattern, it has increased by 20%, which is more than 1.4 billion. Then the final box office of this movie will be blindly guessed to be 700 million. Of course, everything has to be
Looking at the actual release situation, this is only the first day of release."
"Holy shit! 700 million! Last year's "Red Cliff" which won the title last year was only 320 million. Is it such an exaggeration?"
"It's such an exaggeration. Just like "Hero" back then, most other movies only hovered around 20 to 30 million at the box office. It directly broke through 100 million, leading to the commercialization of the domestic film market. This movie and "
"Hero" has similar attributes and cannot be viewed according to conventional market rules. It can lead the development of the industry."
"Looking at the film schedule scheduled last night, it was still 42%. During today's screening, it was increased by two percentage points. This is why theaters paid so much attention to it on the first day of release. It must be because of the excellent results shown during the screening.
It has received further favor from theater chains, which shows that the movie is doing well and that a box office of 700 million is not completely impossible."
"Then the rest of the movies will become cannon fodder, which is also a tragedy."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Well, competition in movies has always been like this. If there is a big hit, there will be a hit. This has been like this since the beginning of the development of the industry. Isn't this a tragedy?
Yes, those who make movies should think carefully about how to improve the quality of their works."
"The correct solution upstairs!"
"..."
It was a clear night. In the office of Bright Times Pictures, Tang Jili, Wei Haolong and Chenglong gathered together.
Looking at the overwhelming news reports and various comments on the Internet, Tang Jili couldn't help but smile knowingly, with a cheerful expression on his face: "44%, these media, like to find gimmicks."
Cinemas across the country owned by major theater chains will make flexible and temporary adjustments to film schedules based on real-time ticket sales and viewing conditions.
For example, if the morning attendance rate of "The Sky" has been soaring, but the attendance of a certain movie is terrible, the movie theater's scheduling manager or owner will not hesitate to withdraw one or more shows of the movie in the afternoon or evening, allowing "
Canopy" replaced it.
Maybe the media is trying to earn traffic, or maybe some media witnessed the increase in the film schedule of "The Sky" in a certain cinema, so they speculatively and gimmickly reported these eye-catching news, trying to promote this movie.
Use current hot works to gain public attention.
Otherwise, statistics from each theater chain on the situation of theaters across the country are usually not available until late at night. People like them have not received any feedback, so where do these media get the information from based on speculation?
However, even though the media kept boasting, they published reports that were beneficial to the movie, which made him both interesting and sincerely happy.
"As long as the situation is good on the first day, let UA immediately talk to the Hollywood theaters. Xuanzi, Sissy and I will also prepare for the global road show. Taking advantage of the hot momentum in China, we will work together
It’s best to go all out to promote the global release of the movie." Chenglong said with passion and bright eyes.
Since returning the focus of his career to China in 2003, Chenglong has not been so excited for a long time, and has not been so impatient for a long time to go to the film production company early to wait for feedback on the first day of the release of his film, mainly in the past few years.
The higher the expectations, the greater the bitter experience of disappointment.
His "New Police Story", his "Myth", and his "Baby Project" have achieved relatively unsatisfactory box office results in the market, but for his personal and persistent pursuit of transformation, his sincere
For Long's once famous box office success, this was undoubtedly a frustrating failure for him.
But this time it is completely different. He has high expectations for "Sky Curtain", and the positive feedback before its release shows that the market is very likely to hold up his high expectations, an expectation that can continue to shine in the global market.
As a result, he couldn't sit still in the hotel when "The Sky" was released on the first day.
Not only were Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei unable to calm down, but he, who was over fifty years old, was also swaying in his heart at this moment, unable to control himself.
However, the couple was so excited that they lost all their energy for the day. They learned about the situation through a phone call in the afternoon, and they couldn't accompany him to the company to wait, so he anxiously called Tang Jili to come to the company.
Even if he had to stay up late, he still had to wait for the first-hand good news that he was expecting, so that his hanging heart could be completely settled.
"Well, you can indeed start preparing for the global road show, but you still have to observe the release situation in a few days first."
"Although UA is a strategic partner of Yinghuang, it has nothing to do with us. Only by providing some good data will they be more enthusiastic to help with the overseas release of the movie."
Tang Jili said, Chenglong nodded, and then the two started chatting about the movie.
Wei Haolong listened to their conversation, flipped through the web, and browsed news reports, articles and reviews about the movie.
One of the articles attracted him very much - [As an international student who went to Australia to study, he excitedly returned to China during the National Day holiday just to witness the grand military parade of the motherland.
I never thought that Chang'an Street was already overcrowded. Even with the road closed, it was like a sea of people, shoulder to shoulder. This made my full expectations vanish in an instant. I couldn't witness the magnificent military parade of my motherland in person. I was full of regrets.
Then, when I was passing by a movie theater, I was attracted by the billboard promotion of "Skyfall". It turned out to be a science fiction film?
From what I knew before going abroad, it seems that there has never been a movie of this kind in our country.
With extreme curiosity, I eagerly wanted to buy a ticket to check it out and see what this domestic science fiction film was like.
Who knew that all the tickets for that day were sold out!
I looked at the cinema's film schedule in disbelief. There were twelve shows, but not a single seat was available!
Oh my God, is this science fiction film so popular? Are my country's science fiction films on the rise? I have only been abroad for three years, and the film industry is developing so rapidly?
But after asking around from the staff, I learned that this science fiction film is the first of its kind in China, which made me even more curious about it. Is the first science fiction film so popular?
Due to this strong curiosity, I became a "leek" for a time. Facing the scalpers wandering near the entrance of the theater with greedy eyes like slaughtering sheep, I spent 120 yuan on a ticket that originally cost 50 yuan.
!
I just hope this movie doesn't disappoint me.
With this mentality in mind, I went to the theater to watch this movie during the afternoon screening.
Shock, passion, and excitement! This is the most real and strongest feeling in my heart.
The imagination breaks through the sky, the shots are full of science fiction, and the pictures are beautiful and magnificent.
The most important thing is that it gave me a clear idea of what Chinese science fiction looks like! It allowed me to witness with my own eyes the rise of the motherland in terms of cultural soft power!
Let’s put it this way, I wouldn’t know it unless I went abroad, but I was really shocked when I went abroad.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Those who advertise the beauty of foreign countries on the Internet, please be a good person and stop deceiving your own countrymen!
Just like Australia, where I live, it has been completely westernized.
Just read a newspaper and you will find the pervasive Western brainwashing text;
When watching a program, from time to time the host will express his/her Western stance;
In the last class, the teacher would always say a few words about how good the West is;
If you give a speech and don't say something good about the West, you won't even be able to publish a paper.
Is this called democracy? Is this called freedom?
Including movies, all kinds of Western movies released in Australia, as long as they involve China, all of them are not overtly or covertly criticizing our country, and they are all insinuating and belittling our motherland.
In such an environment, many Chinese compatriots have been subtly brainwashed and assimilated.
Although they did not say it explicitly, in their hearts they had forgotten their motherland and even despised it.
This made me and several Chinese friends who were also international students feel deep fear and couldn't help but tremble. The extent of this kind of cultural erosion is really terrible.
So, when I finished watching this movie, I felt extremely inspired and proud!
Although the social environment abroad is not satisfactory, it has also improved my understanding, one of which is the importance of the film and television industry.
In my eyes, a science fiction movie like "Skyfall" can be shot to a level that is not inferior to any Hollywood science fiction blockbuster, which is enough to prove that our country's film and television industry already has a strong foundation.
Movies are an important part of soft power, and they are also a tool that the West likes to export their disgusting values. This is especially true for our country, and the movies released abroad are even more chaotic and dirty.
In view of this, I couldn't help but wonder, how can we check and balance these things with ulterior motives?
A gentleman strives to constantly strive for self-improvement. Only when one's own strength is strong can he build a golden body and be immune to all poisons.
As long as excellent movies like "Skyfall" continue to emerge, allowing Chinese audiences to deeply understand the strength of our soft power and deeply tap into the confidence of the entire nation in national culture, then who will credulously believe in Western propaganda and Western movies?
Those anti-Chinese nonsense?
Even though I regret that I cannot witness the military parade of the motherland with my own eyes today, this movie greatly made up for this regret in my heart.
The military parade is a demonstration of the country's hard power, and the movie is a demonstration of cultural soft power. If we can go hand in hand, why worry about the motherland not being prosperous?
As Mr. Qian said: "If the United States and the Soviet Union can build an atomic bomb, we in China can definitely do it too!"
Nowadays, Hollywood can produce all kinds of blockbusters to dominate the global film culture. As a country of etiquette, we do not need to dominate, but we can not only do what they can do, but we can do it even better!
I firmly believe that "Tianmu: Under the Gate" is just the beginning, and the industry will only get better and better in terms of cultural display in the future!
Come on! My motherland!
Although I am overseas, I am always in love with this land——
An international student who didn’t know the beauty of the country at the beginning regretted going abroad and waiting to return to the motherland to cultivate his talents. On the first day of his return to China during the National Day, he was delighted to see a blockbuster with excellent lens art. I would like to use this to express my feelings in Shuyu, and hope that someone who is destined to appreciate it will appreciate it.]
"Reading an article actually made me cry. What the hell!"
"As a member of the general audience, I only know that this movie is very good. After all, I am a top student who has been abroad. My vision and perspective are different. After your analysis, I feel that this movie is more and more meaningful. Thank you
Your sharing has given me a new level of cognitive improvement."
"Well said! As long as you are strong enough, don't be afraid of those monsters! It's useless for us to worry about the country's hard power. We ordinary people have limited abilities, which is too far away from us, but soft power is closely connected with us, which is also true.
Our most far-reaching influence is due to your high opinion. Tomorrow I will play "Skyfall: At the Gates" for the second time! I will give you my fullest support again!"
"It's so well said and touching. I also wish you all the best in your stay abroad. I would like to express my respect by giving you a thumbs up!"
"Brother, my writing style is outstanding, and my foresight is far beyond ordinary people. After reading it, I have learned something. I have nothing to repay. I can only remind you that you can watch the replay of the military parade online.
Even if you are abroad, you should pay more attention to domestic developments. The domestic Internet is now very developed. It seems that your writing style is still the same as Zhihu style a few years ago. It is different from the "awesome" and "holy shit" articles on the Internet now.
The style is a bit out of touch, I hope it can follow the trend of the times.”
"Hahaha, I'm from upstairs. I thought you were very literate when I saw your expressions. What you said next made me laugh. You are also a master of words and a talent!"
"..."
Wei Haolong was in a state of ups and downs and recommended to the two of them: "Come and read this article. The angle is different from the normal movie review."
Tang Jili and Chenglong came closer and spent a few minutes reading it carefully. They were deeply touched in their hearts.
"This is the meaning of the existence of movies." Tang Jili couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
This post-viewing review is excellent and reveals the deep meaning that most people find difficult to penetrate.
There were ripples in his heart for a while, and his thoughts were flying.
He recalled his original intention of joining the film industry. Wasn't it the hope that he could convey power through films?
He and Chenglong have been working together for more than 20 years and have been moving in this direction.
As the audience has said, no matter which of their movies, they contain Chinese elements to some extent, and the scenes that appear most often are Chinatowns around the world.
Why shoot Chinatown instead of directly shooting scenes in China?
This is because Hollywood does not allow it and can only choose Chinatowns that exist abroad and cannot be rejected by the issuing capital as representatives of Chinese elements.
To be honest, this movie "Skyfall: The Enemy" is completely authentic Chinese elements, including the scenes and the construction of the studio.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! This is not his first all-Chinese film, but it is the first all-Chinese film that will be released globally.
Therefore, he is full of expectations. Like Chenglong, he is over fifty years old, and like Chenglong, he has high expectations and longings for this movie that have not been seen in recent years.
This review also made him feel happy, proving that the deep artistic value they put into this film was discovered and recognized by the audience.
"He is angry and proud. After reading his article, I am also angry and proud." Chenglong said soothingly, feeling filled with emotions in his heart.
As we all know, and putting aside his private affairs, Chenglong can be regarded as one of the most patriotic celebrities, promoting Chinese culture no matter where he is in any country around the world.
In the past, when he was in Hollywood, he had no choice but to incorporate too many Chinese elements into his movies. Even if he had a high status, Hollywood would not allow him to do this. No matter how high his status was, he would have to submit.
And Xiangjiang is deeply influenced by Western culture. Although not all of the movies he shot after returning to China a few years ago are in the Hollywood style, they are also semi-Hollywood. With the intervention of Xiangjiang Capital, there is quite a lot of room for creative works.
limited.
With the rise of the mainland entertainment company Bright Times, Tang Jili, his old partner and a shareholder of Bright Times, was able to arrange a collaboration. In terms of the creative freedom of this film, he realized the word freedom.
The most important thing is that Bright Times has strong capital and the China Film Group behind it also fully supports it. Neither party interferes in the creation of the film at will, and it is completely controlled by their creative team. This is why it has created the extremely popular film at the moment.
"Sky Curtain".
He has long had the idea of long-term cooperation with Bright Times, not only because his partner Tang Jili is a shareholder of this company, but mainly because the creative environment and the company's many creative talents gave him an excellent impression - this
This company is not just for profit, but is creating with heart and actively innovating.
Through such a touching audience article, he further strengthened his idea of showing the charm of national culture through free creation, which makes people full of fighting spirit even in their twilight years.
There was silence in the room, and the three of them were immersed in their own thoughts. This review seemed to illuminate people's hearts, shine into their hearts, and temporarily illuminate their thinking on the future development.
It wasn't until a cell phone rang suddenly that the three of them came back to their senses with faces full of expectation, as if they were waking up from a dream.
It was already one o'clock in the morning, and time quietly entered October 2nd.
I got a call at this time. Could it be that the theater chain’s data has been compiled?
"Lao Hu." Wei Haolong glanced at the caller ID and picked up the phone at lightning speed to answer the call.
Tang Jili and Chenglong each folded their arms and sat astride the sofa. They seemed comfortable and relaxed, but in fact, their hearts were like tight bowstrings, nervously waiting with bated breath.
Wei Haolong's eyes first shone brightly, and he was obviously shocked and his body trembled. Then he forcibly restrained his expression, but it turned into a slump.
He hung up the phone and put down the phone. Before he could even perform a few minutes, Tang Jili pointed it out: "Your acting skills are too bad. Your expression changes are not smooth. You are not even as good as a supporting actor. Let's talk about it. Tens of millions."
?”
Wei Haolong laughed without restraint, and Chenglong also couldn't help laughing.
Then, Wei Haolong raised his hand and without saying a word, he just raised a slightly trembling index finger.
A finger?
Ten million?
Tang Jili and Chenglong thought about this subconsciously, and then they felt as if they were hit by electric current. After they reacted, they both smiled and immediately jumped up from the sofa.
Tang Jili's disbelieving eyes flashed with extreme excitement, and his voice trembled with excitement: "100 million?!"
Chenglong took an urgent step that almost lost his rhythm and came to Wei Haolong who was sitting at the desk. His hands were firmly placed on his shoulders like iron pliers, and he shook a little awkwardly: "Really 100 million?"
Regarding Chenglong's gaffe, Wei Haolong had a look of understanding on his face, nodded and confirmed: "Can I joke about such a big thing? There is no way Lao Hu would use this to trick me."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a loud "bang" sound.
As if he was relieved, Chenglong slapped the table with great force. The sound seemed to be the roar of joy in his heart. Then he put his hands on his hips and looked into Tang Jili's eyes with a face flushed with excitement.
For a few seconds, the two old friends spread their arms in perfect agreement and gave each other a big bear hug. They didn't need any words to express their current mood, everything was said without words.
Wei Haolong stood up happily, opened the office door and walked out almost as fast as he could.
The office area is crowded with people. Even if they work overtime, there is no need for so many people. They all stay in the company voluntarily because the first blockbuster produced by the company is released today. They all hope that the movie will be good on the first day and are eager to be in the company on the first day.
Know the market feedback at once.
Even though the movie was extremely popular before its release, it can be seen from the screenings and pre-sales that it will be a hot trend, but until we get the actual data of the release, everything before it seems a bit vague, which makes people always feel uncertain.
big Stone.
It was past one o'clock in the morning, and they were still waiting anxiously and full of expectation.
The appearance of General Manager Wei Haolong instantly silenced the slightly noisy atmosphere where they were communicating with each other. Everyone's eyes were focused on Wei Haolong like a spotlight.
I saw Wei Haolong holding up a finger, without any hesitation, with a smile on his face and said loudly: "100 million!"
What?... The forty or fifty people present were all shocked, as if time had frozen at this moment.
100 million?... Everyone felt as if they were in a dream and suspected that they had heard wrongly.
Last year's "Red Cliff" had a total box office of 320 million, with a box office of over 30 million on its first day of release. This year's record-breaking "The Founding of a Republic" is still in theaters, with a box office of just over 40 million on its first day of release.
And our movie’s first-day score... 100 million?!!
Wei Haolong's silent but public expression of joy undoubtedly gave everyone a shot in the arm to believe in this number.
Immediately afterwards, a cheering sound that seemed to overturn the entire building exploded like a tsunami.
"oh--!!"
“So handsome!!”
"Blow it up, blow it up, blow it up!!"
The sound was so deafening that everyone working overtime in other companies upstairs and downstairs was stunned.
Regardless of whether they are men or women, whether they are young or middle-aged, they are all releasing great joy and excitement at this moment.
Some were dancing and swaying, some were high-fiving each other until their palms were red, some were hugging each other almost to the point of breaking each other's bones, and there were also many people celebrating together with their arms around each other's shoulders.
In addition, many men and women cried with joy because of this, and the hot tears rolled down their faces, but they were made particularly moving by the excited smiles.
Sci-fi?
This is a theme that has never been seen before in China.
I formed the team with low confidence at the beginning, groping and learning together. It has been more than two years since the team was established in the first half of 2007.
Over the past two years, who can know how many days and nights they have put in to create this movie?
Who could know the hardships that a layman two years ago had to go through by learning from various books and numerous films to become the only science fiction film team in China with complete creative experience?
Who could have known that after devoting all your attention to one thing for more than two years, the feeling of doing only one thing for nearly 1,000 days, from the initial suffering to the habit to the current professionalism, is
What a sense of accomplishment?
Everything is for this project, for this film industry that has never been seen before in China and is difficult to learn from.
When all the efforts are condensed into the dazzling essence, when all the efforts are condensed into the shining crystallization, when the unimaginable, far beyond expectations, and shocking feedback that spans the times are received from the market, what else can be better than this at this moment?
Which one is more glorious and has a greater sense of accomplishment?
"Woo..." A female photographer cried very loudly, but her cries were filled with deep joy, as if her long-pent-up emotions had found an outlet.
The people nearby were laughing, but it was not a mockery, but a smile of sympathy and joy, and there were even tears in the smile.
Chenglong helped her up and gave her a warm hug: "It's hard work, but it's all worth it, isn't it?"
The pear-shaped female photographer nodded repeatedly and covered her red face with a bit of embarrassment, but she still couldn't restrain her inner excitement.
Tang Jili watched all this from outside the office area, his excited heart also showing a little rosy color on his face. He clapped his hands and said happily: "It's time to get off work! Let's go have supper, I'll treat you!"
With a loud shout of joy, the vast number of people behind the movie left with passion like a tide.
In Tang Ji, under the leadership of Chenglong and Wei Haolong, the carnival and celebration started in the middle of the night.
"Hey, Lao Hu, come over quickly and have a drink."
"Yu Qi, you are all still in the capital. It's a good thing to invite them to eat!"
"Xuanzai and Xixi are not on the phone. The couple's sleep quality is really good. Let's get together with them another day..."
