Hu Shuo naturally received the news that "Dangerous Mission" was going to compete with "Titanic" as soon as possible, but he just laughed it off.
Because judging from the so-called blockbusters produced by Hollywood in recent years, he can tell what level of movie "Dangerous Mission" is with his eyes closed. What's more, he has also read the script of this movie, because Wang Qi was still there
I had extended an invitation to him when I was working at the Star Factory.
"Dangerous Mission" can only be regarded as an average American hero movie. It can't be said to be outstanding, but it shouldn't be too bad. After all, the leading actors are all veteran American movie stars, and their acting skills are not impressive.
As the saying goes, if you know your enemy and know yourself, you will win a hundred battles. It is precisely because he understands what kind of movie "Dangerous Mission" is that Hu Shuo is not worried about competing with it.
However, one thing was beyond Hu Shuo's expectation. He originally thought that "Dangerous Mission" would be released in China at the same time as "Titanic". Unexpectedly, just after the domestic release date of "Dangerous Mission" was finally determined
, the release date of "Dangerous Mission" in North America has also been confirmed, which is also May 1st.
In other words, the two movies "Titanic" and "Dangerous Mission" will compete in the world's two largest markets at the same time. Before this, there has been no such precedent for a movie produced by a Chinese company.
Therefore, when the release date of "Dangerous Mission" was announced, the American media were very excited...
["Titanic" with a box office of 2 billion US dollars has encountered a strong opponent! 】
["Dangerous Mission" will sink the "Titanic" head-on! 】
["Dangerous Mission" is the real Hollywood blockbuster, it will teach Chinese people what a movie is!]
[Hua Xia Hu is extremely close to fulfilling his bet, he will lose miserably!]
["Dangerous Mission" will be released on the same day as "Titanic", so you have no reason to watch "Titanic"! 】
As the American media reported it, American netizens set off a new round of discussion.
"I will definitely support "Dangerous Mission" this time!"
"Well done! Sink that broken ship!"
"I think Titanic will lose miserably!"
"Let those Chinese people see what a real movie is!"
"I can't wait to see Huaxia Hu eat shit and run away!"
"Haha, Huaxia Hu is destined to lose. They have met a powerful opponent!"
"Statham VS Huaxia Hu, this is really a showdown without any melody!"
"Yes, Statham's muscles will teach Hua Xiahu how to behave!"
"..."
Naturally, American netizens are overwhelmingly optimistic about "Dangerous Mission". After all, this movie brings together several famous American movie stars. First of all, the male protagonist is Statham, who is in his prime, and the female protagonist is the popular movie star Julia.
The director is also the famous Hollywood director Ford Coppola.
In contrast, the leading actors in "Titanic" are Hu Shuo and Winslet, both of whom are unknowns in the United States and are pure newcomers.
Just comparing the lineup, I believe no Americans will go see "Titanic"!
Therefore, people naturally believe that the box office of "Dangerous Mission" will defeat "Titanic".
This view is also very common in the United States.
At this stage, no one can change the views of these American people. They can only wait for the movie to be released and let the quality of the movie speak for itself.
However, for Hu Shuo and "Titanic", the current situation is already very good. After all, "Titanic" has not been released yet and most Americans have already known about the movie. This means
It is a successful marketing.
China time, April 26.
"Titanic" held its grand world premiere at the Jiangcheng Grand Theater.
This movie, with a total investment of over 500 million, has attracted much attention since the beginning of filming, and because it is Hu Shuo's another masterpiece after "I'm Not the God of Medicine", it is not surprising to say that it has attracted hundreds of millions of people in China.
Pass.
The red carpet at the premiere was star-studded.
Artists from Chuangshi Entertainment came out in full force. In addition, some of Hu Shuo's friends in the entertainment industry also came to the scene to support.
In order to build momentum for "Titanic", this time Hu Shuo also asked Zhang Ying to invite some very influential celebrities in China to support the movie.
After receiving the invitation from Hu Shuo, these celebrities were very generous and gave up all their work to attend the premiere.
As a result, the premiere of "Titanic" turned into a big gathering of celebrities from the Chinese entertainment industry, and the reporters at the scene seemed to have enough eyes.
However, no matter how many celebrities were invited, the one who attracted the most attention was of course today’s protagonist Hu Shuo. He walked on the red carpet for the finale, and with him was Winslet, the heroine of "Titanic".
And the rest of the main cast of "Titanic".
As soon as the entire crew appeared on the stage, the flash lights on the scene naturally flashed into one.
"Brother Shuo, look here!"
"Brother Shuo, here!"
"Brother Shuo, give me a face!"
"Brother Shuo, come on!!"
"..."
There were shouts from both sides of the red carpet, but Hu Shuo walked very slowly and waved to the camera frequently in response to the shouts of the reporters, which was enough to give the media reporters face.
The red carpet ceremony ends.
The premiere went into answering questions from reporters.
"Brother Shuo, what do you think about the fact that "Dangerous Action" and "Titanic" were released on the same day in the world's two largest film markets?"
A reporter directly raised a hot issue recently.
"I can only say that I feel sorry for the movie "Dangerous Action", because they will become tragic cannon fodder..."
Hu Shuo responded with a smile and said the most domineering words in the calmest tone.
"Brother Shuo, are you so confident in "Titanic"?"
"certainly!"
Hu Shuo lightly shrugged: "I believe that after watching the movie, you will also be full of confidence in it!"
The final version of "Titanic" was edited and supervised by Hu Shuo himself, and he was extremely satisfied with the special effects production of Fantasyland. It was really worth every penny, and it was not in vain that he spent half of the production fee.
I used it for special effects.
The special effects department of this version of "Titanic" is going to outperform the version in another time and space. After all, when "Titanic" was filmed in that time and space, many technologies were not yet mature, so the special effects part was actually compromised.
But every special effects shot in Hu Shuo's version of "Titanic" is extremely realistic, and will even give moviegoers an immersive experience!
Therefore, Hu Shuo is naturally full of confidence in this version of "Titanic"!
