Chapter 412 'Rise of the Planet of the Apes' (Sorry for being late!)
PS: I'm suffering from heat stroke, so this chapter is late today, sorry.
Time flies by in July. At the New Orleans World Expo, the imax at the China Pavilion is still extremely popular, receiving tens of thousands of tourists every day.
Two months have passed since May, and the IMAX short films have also changed from the original "Ghost Castle", "Avatar", "Grand Canyon", and "Underwater World" to "Everest" and "Space Station".
"The Garden", "Avatar".
After the continuous bombardment of IMAX, more and more people have begun to urge the early release of "Avatar". They have been whetted by the trailer of "Avatar" and are extremely excited.
At this time, "Dragon Strikers" also began to be released one after another around the world. It was enthusiastically sought after by movie fans as soon as it was released in many countries and regions, with amazing box office results and continuous praise.
And on July 7, "Big Star Falls in Love with Me" and "The Grudge 2" were also officially released in China. In the early morning premiere, they directly won an astonishing box office of 20 million, and then on Saturday and Sunday,
"The Star Is Falling In Love with Me" beat other movies and directly won the daily box office championship on Saturday and Sunday with 68 million and 57 million. Although "The Grudge 2" is a horror film, because "The Grudge 1"
》The huge popularity accumulated has also made it the third runner-up at the daily box office, with a total box office of 43 million.
In the following time, these two films were released in Southeast Asia, Japan and South Korea, and achieved impressive box office results.
Following "Falling Star" and "The Grudge 2", "The Scorpion King", "Prometheus" and "Alien 2" were released one after another. Because of the sequel, they
It has received widespread attention before it was released. Each movie also contains post-credits Easter eggs for the next movie, increasing the expectations of movie fans.
On July 20, "The Scorpion King" was officially released. Movie fans once again experienced the exotic desert scenery and magical world of Egypt. And "Alien 2" and "Prometheus" were released,
The "Alien" series of novels and comics has once again become popular.
In July and August of 2012, the movie summer vacation was just like the hot summer, with box office successes one after another, and it was extremely hot. The heat seemed to evaporate people at any time. Basically, the movies that can be arranged in the summer vacation are high-quality
Movie. Therefore, it attracted a large number of movie fans to enter the cinema.
Movie theaters made a lot of money during this summer vacation, and the bosses were so laughing that their skin was bruised.
However, some people are happy and some are sad.
"Nary, is Wang Shang sick? Are you always quarreling with me about movies?" Southeast Film and Television Zhou Tao was driven crazy by the box office data of the past two months.
"War Force" will be released on June 16, the same day as "Dragon Force" will be released at the same time.
"Yunying is Not Married" will be released on July 7. "Big Star Falls in Love with Me" will be released at the same time on the same day...
"The Avatar" will be released on August 20, the same day "Prometheus" will be released at the same time...
Every movie released by Southeast Film and Television Group will appear on the same day as another film by Tianwang Film and Television. The film schedule is squeezed and the box office is seriously affected. Even idiots know that this is Tianwang Film and Television's way of sniping at Southeast Film and Television in a way that will hurt both sides.
What's even more depressing is that Zhou Tao can't hide at all. He can only fight.
The result of the confrontation made Zhou Tao feel as if he had been ravaged by thousands of grass-mud horses. His side's box office suffered a huge blow, while his opponent's movies continued to do brilliantly at the box office!!
"Although it's not a sequel, the gap shouldn't be that big!" Zhou Tao was very unwilling and unconvinced by this!!
Like Zhou Tao, there is also Huayi Pictures. Every movie released during the summer vacation will be sniped by the movies of Tianwang Film and Television, such as "I Love You Do You Know" on July 7. It was outshone by "Dragon Commandos"
Chasing and fighting fiercely, unable to fight back.
Another film, "The Inspired", was released on July 20, the same day as "The Scorpion King" was released at the same time, and the subsequent box office was naturally terrible. "The Giant Octopus" was also given the top spot by "Alien 2"
The run was extremely miserable.
The chairman of Huayi Pictures almost cried when he saw this situation...
Wang Shangke doesn't care about these things, as long as he is an enemy, he must treat him well.
Media reporters with a keen sense of smell quickly discovered this situation and reported it with gloating. In the previous Wanghei operation, a discerning eye could see that these two companies were actively participating in Wanghei operation, so when they saw
When the two companies were being targeted by Wang Shang, they inevitably reported it with added jealousy.
"The Revenge of King Film and Television! Sniper on the big screen!!"
"Tianwang Film and Television, which has been keeping a low profile, finally revealed their revenge methods!"
"The films of Tianwang Film and Television directly crushed Southeast Film and Television, leaving Southeast Film and Television unable to fight back."
Amidst the hustle and bustle, the summer vacation period came to an end.
Tianwang Film and Television has become the biggest winner during the summer vacation. During the two months of July and August, Tianwang Film and Television released 3 movies and earned a total of 1.7 billion yuan! They accounted for 40% of the total box office for the period. And the southeastern part of the country was nakedly targeted by "chiluo" and sniped
The total of the two companies, Film and Television Group and Huayi Group, is less than 800 million yuan. Twice the movie, only half the box office, which is really embarrassing to Zhou Tao and Chairman Huayi.
During this summer vacation, these films of King Film and Television also made a lot of box office in overseas areas. The box office of "Dragon Commando" was the most terrifying, setting off a wave of craziness around the world, and the box office was like a snowball.
It kept getting bigger and bigger, and finally on August 31, its total global box office was fixed at 6.3 billion yuan, equivalent to 660 million US dollars.
However, in the United States, a region where movies are relatively developed, many professional film critics have given "Dragon Commandos" low scores. The reason is that the plot of this movie is zero and empty, and many plots are dedicated to action and special effects.
Service. However, those passionate movie fans don’t see it that way. Without exception, they all think this movie is great and the action and special effects surprise them.
In the golden autumn of September, Tianwang Film and Television has no movies scheduled, but it is promoting another new movie "Rise of the Planet of the Apes", which will be officially released in China during the National Day.
At this time, affected by "Rise of the Planet of the Apes", Southeast Film and Television Group and Huayi Pictures reluctantly canceled the film release plan during the National Day, preparing to wait until after Christmas and New Year's Day to release the film.
Promotional advertisements have long been scattered throughout Chinese cities.
This movie tells the story of Will, a genetic scientist, who developed a drug to treat neuroatrophic diseases in humans. When the new drug was tested on chimpanzees, it was found that it could significantly improve their intelligence. The chimpanzee who succeeded in the experiment gave birth to the baby Caesar.
Later, he was shot dead by the police in another accidental incident.
Because Caesar inherited his mother's genes, he has been very intelligent since he was a child, and he has been living happily with Will's family. However, an accident happened. Caesar accidentally injured a human and was sent to a nursing home. There he was severely punished.
The abuse of humans creates hostility towards humans.
Caesar escaped from the care center with his own wisdom, returned to Will's house, stole the medicine, brought it back to the care center for other chimpanzees to use, and began to lead the group of orangutans whose intelligence was developed to escape from the care center.
The matter is not over yet. This drug that can improve the intelligence of orangutans is a fatal virus to humans. At this time, because of Caesar, the virus has begun to spread, causing the destruction of human beings in cities one after another.
Thus, the war between orangutans and humans began...
On October 1st, the National Day, the movie "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" officially started to be released. With the reputation of Tianwang Film and Television and the wonderful editing in the trailer, it attracted many fans to watch it as soon as it was released.
That day, the Internet was flooded with praises.
"Ultra-high facial expression capture technology and lifelike expressions make Caesar's expressions no different from those of human beings. From simple and innocent to domineering, forbearance and explosion are full of dramatic tension. His roar in prison "No
!", comparable to Wallace's 'Freedom' in "Braveheart", pushing the mood of the whole film to a climax."
"In the confrontation with the pet dog, Caesar realized the inequality of animals. He asked to "sit" on the car seat instead of "closed" in the trunk, which can be regarded as some kind of "Enlightenment thought"
Throbbing."
"The choice of civilization is not accidental. The inner unity of the apes and their cherishment of life have created good opportunities for their rise; on the other hand, humans have been replaced by greed and cruelty, and it is too late to regret."
""Rise of the Planet of the Apes" is very strange. It regards human beings as the number one enemy, and the audience's position is consciously on the side of the apes, not the human side. Whether it is the shock of Caesar speaking for the first time,
It was still his strong and powerful leader who led the apes to invade the human streets, smashing, looting and burning. The audience felt their blood swelled. Even if human society was completely disintegrated in the end, I would definitely cheer for it. On the surface, "Apes"
"Planet" series stands on the opposite side of mankind, yet one can clearly feel his love and hate and his sense of moral correctness. Why is this? Do we really hate ourselves so much?"
One good review after another, and soon its imax score stabilized at 8.8 points, which is higher than "Dragon Force", and the Rotten Tomatoes score also reached 8.5 points, with a freshness rating of 85%!
Thanks to the good word-of-mouth publicity, more and more movie fans are attracted to the cinema to watch The Wisdom Caesar! The release trend is becoming more and more rapid and popular!
When "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" hit theaters, the promotional work for "Avatar" was officially launched.
On October 2nd, Tianwang Film and Television officially announced a piece of news on its official website: "Avatar" has completed all post-production and is expected to be officially released in China on December 23rd. There will be a 3D version by then.
There is also an IMAX-3D version. At the same time, we will actively look for foreign distribution channels and strive for a unified global release.
In addition to this blockbuster news, in order to satisfy the hungry hearts of reporters, King Film and Television also announced a news: "Avatar" will hold a pre-release promotional press conference on October 5, and also invited many domestic and foreign actors.
