After The Vicious Cannon Fodder Was Reborn - Chapter 293
[Chapter 292]
After the premiere, Tao Mu, the actor and producer, was surrounded by overseas distributors who had a keen sense of smell and were good at spotting business opportunities. And this scene was also photographed by reporters, and then a piece of news was posted that “The premiere of “The King of Soldiers” was a great success, and overseas copyrights were scrambled.”
Including the publicity and hits of the TV series, the publicity period of the movie version of “The King of Soldiers” can almost span the whole year, not to mention the national popularity. Especially the rise of the upsurge of joining the army some time ago has made all the audience and netizens feel a patriotic feeling of joining the army. Now that “The Sword Unsheathed” is released under the banner of the film version of “The King of Soldiers”, many audiences are subconsciously paying attention to the wind direction of the premiere ceremony at the first time. Knowing that the film was a great success and was being scrambled by overseas distributors, these audiences could not help but feel a sense of gratification and glory.
In this state, some film critics criticized the film for “too much emphasis on commercialization and blasting special effects, without deeply digging into the hearts of the characters”, but they were not taken seriously by the audience. Just can’t wait to watch the movie.
The official release time of “The Sword of the King of Soldiers” is scheduled for September 30, and the second day of the release is the consecutive seven-day National Day holiday. Coupled with the overwhelming publicity online and offline before the movie was released, everyone could see that the producer was ambitious. Tao Mu said in the interview that “the goal is to break the box office record of “XXX”, and the sword is aimed at the champion of the Chinese movie box office chart”, which is definitely not just talk.
Out of the trust in Tao Mu himself and the affirmation of the IP of “The King of Soldiers”, on the day of the film’s release, there were long queues at the ticket booths of major cinemas. Some reporters squatted at the entrance of the cinema and found that not only young people in their twenties and thirties, but also middle-aged people in their 40s and 50s and elderly people in their 70s and 80s. It is probably very close to the National Day holiday, and many movie fans come to watch movies with their families. Seems to be watching movies as a way of festive pastime.
“Why did you choose to watch this movie?” In the long queue at the ticket booth, the reporter randomly interviewed an elderly man with gray hair who looked to be in his 80s or 90s. If asked.
“I am a veteran of the Anti-Japanese War. When Feixun.com and XX established a charity fund for war veterans, I was also a beneficiary.” The old man approached the microphone tremblingly, and said with great emotion: “I have seen Tao Mu’s “The Great Wall of Flesh”, I have also seen his “The King of Soldiers”. I like this young man very much. I think he can capture the essence of a warrior. So he makes a movie this time, and I will also watch it.”
The reporter who interviewed the old man lit up with a keen awareness. This is definitely a news point that can make a big fuss. The cameraman carried the camera lens in the long line of people constantly, and the reporter kept interviewing the movie fans with their families, especially the elderly movie fans in their fifties and sixties. It soon became apparent that this was not the case. In fact, on the day of the official release of “The Sword of the King of Soldiers”, many viewers traveled in groups with their families. The movie was 100 percent full on this day.
This situation has also attracted the attention of the theater party.
“It seems that the nationality of “The Sword Unsheathed” is good!”
“Generally, the audiences who watch movies are in their teens and thirties, and most of them are classmates or couples watching movies together. This kind of situation where the whole family watches a movie in a group mostly occurs when the cartoon is released, and the attendance rate is very low. It is really rare for the whole family to watch a blasting action movie together and the attendance rate is full.
” The audience is very large. About half of the 80-year-old online audience is about half.”
“Have they seen 3D movies? They are so old, so there will be no accident?”
For some reason, many theaters contacted them in time. ambulance, just in case.
Fortunately, this worrying situation did not happen. Two hours later, all the excited audience walked out of the movie theater, and some elderly people with gray hair couldn’t help but shed tears on the spot.
“I really didn’t expect that our motherland is already so strong.”
“In my lifetime, I finally see that the motherland can be strong enough to protect us one day.”
Many veterans of the Anti-Japanese War and the elderly who have experienced that era are filled with emotion. When they were young, the country was weak and precarious, the invaders were eyeing them, ignoring China’s sovereignty and wantonly dividing up China’s interests, the young and enthusiastic people did not dare to be oppressed, even if they were unarmed millets and rifles, they had to fight and resist. A bright world who has worked hard to make the motherland with flesh and blood.
Now that the motherland is finally strong, even if the smoke of gunpowder is raging abroad, as long as there is a place where the five-star red flag is raised, it can ensure that the Chinese people cross the line of fire safe and sound and return to the embrace of the motherland.
Such a scene, even if it is only seen in a movie, is enough to be gratifying.
There is actually a very touching scene in the movie theater. At the end of the movie, when the hero and several other special forces raised the five-star red flag and crossed the battlefield, both sides of the firefight in the movie ceased fire and watched the convoy leave. The veterans of the Anti-Japanese War also stood up and saluted the national flag on the big screen.
This scene was also photographed by some viewers with their mobile phones, and then posted on Feixun.com. Many netizens and media have forwarded it. This phenomenon was not even thought of by Tao Mu and the producers. However, after realizing this, the film publicity department immediately contacted good media and marketing accounts to actively promote this point –
after all, it is a big movie presented as a gift for the National Day. Of course, the more news that promotes positive energy, the better. . Moreover, this kind of propaganda entry point can stimulate the patriotic psychology of the audience, and it is also good for the box office and the reputation of the movie.
It has to be said that Feixun.com’s publicity and marketing department under the leadership of Tao Mu is absolutely first-class in the industry, and its ability to find news hype news is very good. Coupled with the excellent quality of the film, the film was released for four hours, and the box office of the first day broke the record of 330 million, including the 200 million pre-sale box office. As soon as this data came out, it immediately caused an uproar in the media and the industry. Everyone knows clearly that “The Sword of the King of Soldiers” is definitely a blast this time.
What’s even better isn’t just this–because Tao Mu was preparing to present it as a gift for the National Day before the production started, aiming at the National Day schedule, investing another 100 million yuan, and cooperating with the military and Beijing Film, creating a lot of momentum. Hao Da gives away my aura. Coupled with Tao Mu’s consistent good reputation that “Tao Mu’s products must be high-quality products”, many films did not dare to take advantage of his edge, and either raised the file or postponed the release, avoiding the National Day schedule one after another.
So much so that during the National Day, apart from the grand movie “The Sword of the King of Soldiers”, the rest are almost all unavoidable low-budget movies, or relatively dull themed art films. It directly led to the seven-day holiday. Except for “The Sword of the King of Soldiers”, none of the other films released during the same period could play. Many viewers are not satisfied with watching it once, and they are not interested in watching other films, so they have to keep reading twice and three times. Directly led to the next seven days of National Day, the box office of “The Sword of the King of Soldiers” was unstoppable like a flood burst, and the attendance rate of each game was full. In eight days, the movie box office directly broke 1.5 billion, and instantly topped the box office chart.
Tao Mu said in an interview before that he would work hard to attack the box office record of the Hollywood blockbuster “XXX”. Many people laughed at Tao Mu for being a big talker, and he was like this when he had a little achievement, and he even dared to talk about Hollywood blockbusters. Now Tao Mu has proved his rhetoric with facts, and the industry and the media are instantly a pile of rainbow farts with various tricks. Almost made Tao Mu the hope of the domestic film industry – of course, the fact is almost the same!
In the second week of the film’s release in China, it broke the popularity of the Hollywood blockbuster “XXX” at the box office. The overseas distributors who finalized the overseas copyright with the producer at the premiere also started one after another. Unsheathed in East Asia, Southeast Asia, Northern Europe, Western Europe and North and South America.
I have to say that the charm of the blasting scenes in commercial blockbusters lies in this, no matter what skin color or country you are from, no matter whether you can understand Chinese and understand the culture of China, as long as you can understand blasting scenes and fighting scenes, it is a word – “Cool” is over.
What’s more, the movie “The Sword of the King of Soldiers”, in addition to the grand blasting scene, the fighting scenes are flamboyant and neat, and the plot is also very fascinating. Based on the script adapted from the facts, the evacuation action of that year also aroused all kinds of praise internationally. Now being moved to the big screen by Tao Mu and the main creative team, it has made many international friends intuitively feel the power of China and the power of China’s special forces.
Now the goal of “The Sword of the King of Soldiers” is not to be the champion of the Chinese box office chart, but to set a record at the international box office.
And this big movie, which is highly anticipated by the domestic film industry, did not live up to everyone’s expectations. Four months later, when “The King of Soldiers” was drawn one after another around the world, the final box office exceeded 2 billion M. gold. Although it still failed to break the box office record of the Hollywood blockbuster “XXX” of nearly 3 billion M gold, it also ranked second in the global box office list.
For decades, the Chinese mainland film industry, which has been unable to even rank in the top 100 in the global box office charts, and the achievements of commercial films have been very bleak, has finally become a blockbuster.
Like a drop of ice water falling into a hot oil pan, the domestic entertainment circle boiled instantly. Tao Mu and the main creative team of “The Sword of the King of Soldiers” are regarded by the media as national heroes who promote national prestige and win glory for the country. There are endless reports of rainbow farts with gorgeous rhetoric and true feelings. Wang Boyuan, who participated in the film, and several other actors were all laughing from ear to ear. Director Cheng Baodong, who had always had a grudge against Tao Mu, and who later admired Tao Mu during the filming, was finally convinced. On the day I received the news, I called Tao Mu more than a dozen times, all of them expressing admiration and asking Tao Mu to make another “Bing King 2”, and don’t change the director when “Singing King 3”. Almost didn’t bother Tao Mu to death.
Originally, I just wanted to shoot a movie to encourage my classmates at school, but I didn’t expect that the Beijing Film School, who unintentionally released such a satellite, has become completely awesome. In the past, the industry always said that Jingying cast actors, but Jingying actors could not afford the box office ratings. There is no such review anymore!
The global box office record of 2 billion M gold, the second brilliant record in the global box office rankings, has never been a good result in the Chinese film industry for decades. Now it is played by Jingying’s team. And the whole team came out of Jingying, and there is no one else. Good grades that other colleges can’t take away.
On the day that the principal of Jingying got the news, he asked people from the administration department to collect relevant news reports and put them in the school’s exhibition room. In the name of the celebration party, they even invited the principals of Jingying and Shanghai Theatre Academy next door to attend. Yan Ying’s principal was so angry that he was so angry.
As the center of the entire whirlpool, Tao Mu, who has taken on the role of the actor, producer and investor, is only busier than others. All the friends and colleagues in the industry called one after another, congratulating Tao Mu and reminding Tao Mu not to forget them when he made “The King of Soldiers 2” again. Whether it is lack of investment or lack of guest actors, they are willing to participate. Xia Xing Entertainment and Longteng Entertainment, who invested in this film together with Tao Mu, were also mad with joy. Long Tianao called again and kept urging Tao Mu to hold a celebration party, and everyone gathered to celebrate.
Tao Mu readily agreed. It is not difficult to imagine the upsurge this celebration will cause in the entertainment industry. Tao Mu’s popularity in the circle was already good. Hearing that Tao Mu was going to hold a celebration party, almost all the big names in the circle expressed that they wanted to join in the fun. Tao Mu couldn’t refuse everyone’s enthusiasm, so he could only agree one by one. The cards of the final celebration party are even more star-studded than the annual Golden Crow Awards. In an instant, it became another fashion event.
In this atmosphere of national carnival, the domestic entertainment circle also ushered in another year of Lingxiao Award ceremony. Tao Mu, as the leading actor in the TV series “The King of Soldiers”, was directly shortlisted for the Best Actor Award, and “The King of Soldiers” was also successfully shortlisted for the Best Film, Best Director, Best Supporting Actor, Best Screenplay, etc. important awards.
In an atmosphere with almost no suspense, Tao Mu brought all the crew of “The King of Soldiers”, as well as their family members, to the award ceremony of the Lingxiao Award.
