There's a big question mark in Milly's mind. Could it be that when Mitchell asked Angle to watch a movie, he didn't want to chase her, but watch a movie together?
Could she be mistaken?
Milly glanced at the two of them with doubtful eyes. After hearing what Mitchell said, angle agreed: "It's just a matter of watching a movie together. It's normal for us to be classmates. What are you thinking."
Milly shrugged and said, "Well, it seems I misunderstood."
"However, this seems to be the first time that a Chinese film has been released in American theaters." Turning around, Milly forgot about it and began to discuss Chen Mubai's film with them.
"Yeah, I've never seen Chinese movies shown in cinemas before, only videotapes." Mitchell nodded.
It is true that purely Chinese movies are not shown in American movie theaters, unless they are American works, but the actors are Chinese. There are such works, but there are not many.
They are all very famous superstars in China in the last century, and they all have a certain degree of fame in the world. Most of them are Kung Fu stars. They are the ones who brought Chinese Kung Fu to the world. Foreigners still believe that Chinese people can do martial arts and can fly over walls and walls.
In the past, American film and television companies would invite Chinese stars to star in their movies, but these years they have no more. They can only find some stars to make guest appearances for the sake of China's box office.
Because foreign films are becoming more and more influential and have a very wide audience, many Chinese stars are willing to lower themselves to become supporting roles. Appearing in such international blockbusters can also bring them exposure.
Even if he may not appear in the international version, it is great to appear in China. At least Chinese audiences will think that it is awesome that this star can appear in a Hollywood blockbuster!
Fans can also spread the word to the sky, increasing the popularity and popularity of the star, which is conducive to continuing to negotiate money in the country.
Chen Mubai didn't bother to do this. When he became famous, many international blockbusters came to him and asked him if he wanted to appear in their movies and add some roles with lines for him.
He refused them all, not to mention whether it would be a special version for China, but he would have to reduce his salary or not get any salary. To star in a blockbuster like this, or make a cameo, just to show his face, isn’t it cheap!?
He believes that one day he can make such a blockbuster without having to guest star in anyone else's work, and be the starring role himself instead of being a supporting actor in those foreign blockbusters.
"When I was a kid, I watched a lot of Chinese movies. The people in them were all very good at kung fu. I always yearned for them."
Milly said excitedly: "It wasn't until I met Angle later that I realized that not everyone in China knows kung fu. To practice it with concentration, you have to enter a young..."
"Yes, Shaolin Temple, but when I thought about shaving my head, I gave up. Otherwise, I really wanted to visit China~"
Milly said: "However, I have watched many Chinese works since then, and they are still very good. Until Chen Mubai appeared, it changed my understanding of Chinese stars!"
"Usually Chinese people are very reserved, just like angle. I didn't expect that Chen Mubai is a very confident and high-profile person. When I first heard "right now", I couldn't believe that this song was actually written by a Chinese!
"
Milly exclaimed: "Whether it's the melody or the pronunciation of the song, it doesn't make people feel that he is Chinese at all. It's really amazing. Later I saw his award-winning work, "Buried Alive"."
"I watched it with heart-wrenching attention throughout. Various twists and turns appeared one after another, which made me thrilling. I didn't expect that he died in the end, which made me a little sad."
"So, when Chen Mubai came to attend the Oscars last year, I went to the scene to cheer him on. I was with angle at that time. I am very handsome. This time, when his movie is released, I will come to support him no matter what.
!”
Milly told how she got to know Chen Mubai and her admiration for him. She truly admired Chen Mubai's talent. When she saw Chen Mubai's live performance of "Dangerous" on TV, she screamed in surprise. It was really great!
When she learned from angle that Chen Mubai's movie was released, she decisively agreed to come and watch it, even though she was a bit suspicious of being a light bulb.
However, if the parties involved have denied it, then there should be no problem.
"Let's go in."
The three of them were chatting and laughing. The movie was about to start and they were already checking in for tickets.
There were not many people here, but not too few. Most of them were Chinese, with a few Americans. Listening to the discussion around them, it seemed that they were all here for Chen Mubai.
Some people do it because Chen Mubai is handsome, some do it because of his songs, and some do it because of his dance and movies.
This once again shows that the publicity strategy of Micro Entertainment and Dow Group is very successful. They have publicized all the aspects that Chen Mubai has been involved in and achieved results, and the effect is still there.
If he only promotes his name or the identities of the director and actors, he will probably lose some of his fans who come to watch the movie.
"Okay, several of his movies were released this time. You can watch them again when you have time." Mitchell remembered Chen Mubai, not because he liked Chen Mubai. In fact, he did not pay attention to the entertainment industry.
He prefers sports stars. He pays attention to basketball, football and baseball stars. He really doesn't pay much attention to actors.
But looking at this posture, Angle obviously likes Chen Mubai, so he should start from this aspect and cater to her, so that it will be easier for him to attack her.
Mitchell is not a love idiot. In fact, American children are more precocious. He has been in love several times, but this is the first time he has launched an offensive against Chinese girls.
After the three of them entered the theater, they found their seats.
Milly was very excited and chattered non-stop. Mitchell occasionally added a few words, because he really didn’t know Chen Mubai very well, and he might make mistakes if he talked too much. It’s best to listen at this time. Let’s go back and do the strategy next.
This time there was a topic.
Soon, the movie started.
The previous plot is quite satisfactory. The United States also has many war movies, and they are very good ones, so they will not find it as amazing as the Chinese people. After all, this is the first time that a war movie of this level has been made in China.
When it came to the subsequent plot, everyone was gradually attracted. Especially during the rescue operation, the two sides fought very fiercely. The Jiaolong team suffered casualties. Everyone was disgraced, but they still did not give up the goal, just to rescue the trapped Chinese.
.
Finally, the movie ends.
"Wow, this movie is good." Milly said.
"Yes." Mitchell agreed. He was not advocating, but he really thought it was good.
"Isn't it a bit exaggerated to spend such a huge price just to rescue a Chinese?" Regarding this point, he had been having doubts while watching it.
"Our country is not like this. Rescue of hostages must be done to ensure safety. They will not sacrifice their lives for others."
The United States is like this. Guns are not allowed. If you see a prisoner outside, if the other person is likely to attack with a gun, you will kill him immediately without saying a word to ensure your own life safety.
Like the situation in the movie, it is only possible to rescue that person if the person is very important or the success rate of the rescue operation is very high. Otherwise, the rescue of that person will definitely be given up, not to mention that he is just an ordinary citizen.
If the same situation were changed, Mitchell did not believe that their country would do this.
This is the cultural difference between the two countries. Mitchell was very confused about whether the plot in the movie was true or false.
"it is true."
Angle nodded, and then she told her two classmates about the situation in the country. She would always ensure the safety of the people as soon as possible, including shooting the bad guys, but she would do so after repeated admonitions instead of directly killing them.
"Cool!" Mitchell exclaimed after hearing this.
"Yes, you will feel very safe living in a country like this." Milly also sighed.
"To be able to pay such a high price for a citizen's life really gives people a high sense of belonging. No wonder your nation is very united."
"The movie was shot very well, the scene of being shot was very strong, and the people were really touching. I never regretted it until my death, and I still persisted in completing the mission!"
Mitchell took over and said: "Unlike in many movies, where the villain can be shot so many times without being shot, or be injured by a grenade, here a grenade is thrown in, then picked up and thrown out, and his arms are blown off.
Yes, it’s very real. There will be a delay of about 2 seconds for the grenade to explode.”
Not only were the three of them praising it, but many other people who watched the movie thought it was good and everyone was praising it.
...
On this day, many people who went into the theater gave good reviews after watching "Operation Red Sea". Only a small number of people didn't like it. Overall, it was pretty good.
There are also those who are interested in animation. After all, many comics are very popular in the United States, and the movies adapted from the comics are not bad at the box office, and the works based on fairy tales have been well received.
The special effects of "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes to the World" are very good. Many people are surprised that China can produce such level of special effects. If it develops for a few more years, it will really not be worse than their animation.
However, since it is translated from Chinese to English, the meaning of some ancient sayings is difficult to describe and is somewhat different from the original meaning.
However, some words have won the approval of many people, such as "Everyone else's opinions are bullshit, only you can tell who you are" [Prejudices in people's hearts are like a big mountain]...
When these words are translated, they have similar meanings, especially since the United States is a multi-ethnic country with many conflicts between races and racial discrimination...
Many people are in a state of being bullied and discriminated against. These bullied people are very depressed, often bullied, and have often lost their self-confidence. In a way, this movie can be regarded as a give-and-take movie.
A positive film about their confidence.
"Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes to the World" received much higher reviews than "Operation Red Sea". After all, America has better war movies, and this time "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes into the World" surprised them too much.
.
One is the advancement of special effects, and the other is the rhythm of narrative ability. They prefer this type of animation, which has profound meaning and has a happy comedy ending.
For a time, the reputation of "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes to the World" spread, and it spread most widely among students, because they are the most bullied group, and school violence is an unavoidable topic.
"Infernal Affairs" also has an audience. Solomon previously purchased the rights to the film to create the villain. The film has already been approved, starring a well-known actor. There was a lot of momentum when the project was initially approved, so many people know about the film.
Now that everyone has seen the genuine version, many people came to see it out of curiosity.
In addition, Chen Mubai himself has a certain appeal, and many people come to watch the movie. His previous actions have made him famous.
The movie's first-day figures were not bad, and the rest relied on word-of-mouth promotion, and the publicity that needed to be done was done to the maximum extent.
There are fewer people watching during the day, but more people watch at night.
On the one hand, I have something to do during the day and I have more time in the evening. After school and get off work, I have time to do what I want to do. On the other hand, I walked into the theater at night after being recommended by others during the day.
Fortunately, there are not many blockbusters at this time, so there is not much competition pressure, and the box office attendance of several movies is acceptable.
