After The Vicious Cannon Fodder Was Reborn - Chapter 292

[Chapter 291]

As Tao Mu’s first leading role, and co-prepared by Beijing Film and the military for the National Day gift movie, “The Sword of the King of Soldiers” rubbed against the popularity of the TV series, bringing together Feixun.com and the most popular variety shows on major TV stations. As well as the promotion of local broadcasts in major provinces and cities, coupled with the huge momentum of the theater patch promotion, the general public has finalized 55% of the national film placement rate. The pre-sale box office before the release directly broke the 200 million mark. While shocking the entire industry, “The Sword of the King of Soldiers” has also become the most competitive box office dark horse in the eyes of all the industry. Many media and film critics, including online marketing accounts, expressed their expectations for the film in various ways. So much so that “The Sword of the King of Soldiers” has not yet been released, and it has almost been booked as the box office champion this year by many industry insiders.

Under this momentum, it is conceivable how popular the premiere of “The Sword of the King of Soldiers” will be. With Jingying personally standing up to endorse the movie, and Tao Mu’s good popularity in the circle, almost half of the entertainment circle came to the premiere on the day of the premiere. This half of the entertainment industry not only refers to the famous celebrities in the circle, but there are many more unknown to the outside world, but the producers who have the right to speak in the industry, even the military and related departments. Leaders are present.

In addition, there are many partners and business allies who have a good relationship with Feixun.com and the Li family. Although they did not attend the premiere in person, they also supported Tao Mu’s film Virgo by inviting employees to watch the movie in a private room. . Among the more than 200 million pre-sale box office of “The Sword of the King of Soldiers”, more than 60% are contributed by these people.

“Mr. Tao, can you predict the box office of this movie?” Before the official opening of the movie, a reporter asked curiously.

“As the film’s actor, producer, and investor, I certainly hope that the more the box office, the better. Let’s put it this way, one billion is not too little, and two billion is not too much.” Tao Mu joked.

“Then do you think “The Sword of the King of Soldiers” can break the box office record of last year’s Hollywood 3D blockbuster “XXX”?” the reporter asked.

As we all know, Hollywood has always been regarded as a holy place in the hearts of the global film industry. And Hollywood blockbusters are also very popular around the world, and they are often a tool for money. “XXX” released last year is a typical example. As the world’s first 3D movie, the release of “XXX” not only garnered nearly 3 billion M at the box office worldwide, but also set off a global upsurge of 3D movies.

In the later stage of production of “The Sword of the King of Soldiers”, in order to stimulate the audience’s adrenaline to the greatest extent, 3D technology was also used. The domestic film industry is actually very optimistic about this film out of trust in Tao Mu’s own production ability. But it’s optimistic, and no one really puts the heavy responsibility of breaking the Hollywood blockbuster’s domination of the Chinese movie box office chart on Tao Mu and “The Sword of the King of Soldiers”. The reporter asked such a question, in fact, it was just a routine inquiry, and he didn’t want Tao Mu to give any shocking answer.

As a result, Tao Mu did not take the usual path, and did not choose to answer the reporter’s questions within a safe range, but said very bluntly: “I certainly hope that the box office of “The Sword of Soldiers” can break the record of “XXX” last year. I don’t want to. A soldier who is a general is not a good soldier. I believe that all people who shoot commercial films want to use the box office to prove their work. I am no exception. In addition, if our Chinese film can regain the Chinese box office chart, I think this is also a good thing. Exciting things. At least it shows that our local films have more potential and room for development. Our Chinese filmmakers are also making continuous progress.”

“Of course, to what extent the box office and word of mouth of this film can be rushed. , and finally let the audience evaluate it. As filmmakers, we just try our best to present the best work we can to the audience.” The

remarks were vigorous and ambitious. The media reporters who were still at the premiere were immediately excited. There is no doubt that Tao Mu’s remarks will be another headline news that can cause controversy. The reporter who interviewed Tao Mu even thought of the title –

“The sword is unsheathed, pointing directly to Hollywood. Tao Mu’s bold words at the premiere, aiming at box office

champions

“Tao Mu’s premiere ceremony made a lot of nonsense: China should have its own box office champion”

without mentioning the excitement of the media reporters. However, Tao Mu did not continue to answer other reporters’ questions, but found his own seat and sat down, ready to watch the movie. Also quiet are many critics and columnists. They all heard what Tao Mu just said, so before watching the movie, they all raised their expectations for the movie. After all, since Tao Mu can swear to launch an offensive against Hollywood blockbusters, it proves that the quality of this movie should be really good.

Of course, it doesn’t matter if the movie is a big disappointment when it comes out. With what Tao Mu said just now, they all paid attention to what they wrote.

Outside the premiere, as the media reporters who attended the premiere reported their reports back to the agency or directly on the Internet, many fans and fans who were eagerly awaiting the show became more and more looking forward to it. Of course, Heizi has more to say. And he firmly believes that the quality of the big movie “The King of Soldiers” has no way to compare with Hollywood blockbusters. Tao Mu is just talking about the max, using this kind of grandstanding to create momentum for the movie. To trick more audiences into the cinema.

Some people even ridiculed Tao Mu as “the quality is not enough to make up with feelings”, deliberately exaggerating the sentiment that “Chinese people should support Chinese movies”, and the ultimate goal is to induce more people to watch “The Sword of the King of Soldiers”. piece.

Tao Mu was too lazy to pay attention to the various opinions outside. The lights of the cinema suddenly went dark, and the big screen lighted up slightly. After the dragon logo opened, various producers and production units began to appear on the big screen. Then the camera flashed, and what appeared in front of the big screen was very African. building street. Accompanied by a burst of extremely intense and realistic gunfight blasting scenes, the classic soundtrack in the TV series “The King of Soldiers” first came out, which suddenly brought people in the cinema to the familiar atmosphere of watching TV series a few months ago. And vaguely gave birth to the excitement of seeing the protagonists again.

It’s like an old friend reunited.

As soon as the film opens, it explains the background of the whole story. That is, there is a riot in a country in Africa, Zhan Feng played by Tao Mu and several other special forces are ordered by their superiors to carry out the mission of evacuation.

“This scene is quite big!” Seeing the big scene of bombing houses, bombing cars, and chasing cars on the big screen, a military enthusiast and columnist who loves explosive action scenes sat up straight and made a subconscious assessment. The cost of filming this scene, and whether all the weapons and props that appear on the screen are appropriate and how to use them.

“I actually saw the actors perform the impact of recoil!” After seeing a certain scene, the military enthusiast’s eyes lit up again. I feel that no matter what the plot of the movie is, Dangdang’s opening explosion and action scenes are already full of sincerity.

Another professional filmmaker looked down at the time: “For the first three minutes of the film, none of the male protagonists appeared. But the adrenaline-stimulating plot still instantly attracted the audience to continue watching.”

And a five-minute long After the explosion of the big scene, which made all the fans who love action movies feasted and satisfied, the camera turned again, and a pair of military boots appeared. The camera slowly moved up, along the long legs wrapped in the combat uniform, all the way up, and finally freezes. On Tao Mu’s overly handsome face. The ultra-clear and super-large close-up of the lens made many audience members and film critics in the cinema involuntarily sigh, and once again felt the visual impact brought by Tao Mu’s face to everyone.

Some female stars said on the spot that they were definitely no smaller than the fierce shootout just now.

As a commercial film, “The Sword of the King of Soldiers” has a very tight rhythm. Director Cheng Baodong almost discarded all the inner dramas that would make people feel long-winded, there is no long-winded discussion of human nature, and there is no pretentious deep sensational connotation. The theme of the whole film is a “don’t be a coward, just do it”.

However, in such a fierce battle with gunshots filled with gunfire, the protagonists either looked up at the night sky calmly under the stars, or chatted in front of the bonfire, or entrusted with a few words in a crisis situation. Instead, it sparked the tears of many moviegoers. I even feel that the real war is so cruel. Where can I give you a long and true confession, and many times people may not be able to say a word when they die.

This kind of commercial blockbuster mainly examines whether the plot and blasting scenes stimulate adrenaline. The requirements for actors’ acting skills and the theme of the film are relatively less profound. So the film critics here are relatively relaxed. Don’t think too much about literary films.

Because of this, many film critics are able to concentrate on watching movies from the perspective of ordinary audiences. After investing, I found that “The Sword of the King of Soldiers” is definitely an excellent commercial film. The rhythm is tight, the scene is grand, and the most important thing is that the special effects are not bad. After watching this movie, it is like taking a cold shower and eating a big bowl of ice cream in the summer. There is only one word to describe the feeling, that is hearty.

So that two hours later, the audience who watched the film with all their attention was a little unbelievable. It is rare for them to watch a domestic film, and there is no need to go to the toilet or slip away in the middle of the way.

“The rhythm is so fast!”

“The plot is so enjoyable!”

“Although I didn’t deliberately feel sentimental, when I saw Zhan Feng and several other special forces holding the national flag and carrying those foreigners across the battlefield unscathed, I actually cried. ”

There are still many people crying in despair because they lost their passports. I also cried when I sang the national anthem to prove that I was a Chinese.”

Hearing the whispered conversations of a small number of audience members in the cinema, experienced film critics and People in the industry immediately realized that this movie is definitely going to be a hit!

Immediately after the premiere, invited overseas distributors approached Tao Mu directly to discuss matters related to overseas distribution copyrights.
