Chapter 494 Chapter 492: Stimulation
In the dimly lit movie theater, apart from the sound of chatting, there was the sound of chewing popcorn.

"It seems that the total box office will be around 20 billion." Wang Lu scanned around, and the attendance rate was not as good as "Detective Chinatown", "Swordsman", "A Chinese Ghost Story", and "On the Journey". "It's about the same, it's above average, considering it's not a popular movie schedule, it's pretty good.

"This movie is mainly watched overseas. I read the forecast of Maoyan Data Network. The total box office in North America is 2.5 million U.S. dollars, and the total box office in other regions is 2 million U.S. dollars." Zhang Gang believes that there are people who like these action stars in China, but not many. Can't afford too high a box office.

"Jiang Dong's road to enter the overseas film market is not easy." Wang Lu sighed softly. Compared with domestic box office jumps of one billion, two billion, three billion, and four billion, overseas is a bit slower.

"Several films in a row are all commercial films. I think I want to take it one step at a time, and get a firm foothold first." Zhang Gang feels that the box office is not low, second only to Long Wei.

While talking, the advertisement ended and the feature film came.

[In the waters of Somalia, a cargo ship was supported by pirates. Due to the delay in getting the ransom, the pirates began to lose patience and planned to kill one or two hostages to vent their anger.

At this time, a top mercenary squad led by Rose (Rocky), known as the "Death Squad", received the mission and boarded the ship...]

The weapons and equipment are advanced, and the gun battle is crisp and neat. The residual limbs, blood, and death also make the tone of the whole movie full of madness and excitement.

This made Wang Lu frown, while Zhang Gang watched it with gusto.

The beginning is to introduce this death squad with an average age of 52 years old, and then the main line appears. It is very simple and direct. The government of country M wants to hire people to go deep into a certain country in South America to overthrow the local dictatorship, but no one dares to accept such a task. In the end, this task fell to the Death Squadron.

"Really old."

"Yeah, time is not forgiving."

"Brother Long's shocking performance in "Forbidden Zone" shocked the entire Hollywood, but now he is a bit unmoved."

"It's one step less to watch a movie, but watch it and cherish it."

"I think it's quite tasty."

"At least a hundred times better than 'Super Sweet', am I right?"

……

"The Expendables" is a movie that focuses on "feelings" on the earth, such as Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bruce Willis, and Jet Li. Looking back, which one of them was not in the golden age of different action movies. In the film, he is an invincible hero with one enemy and one hundred.

On Blue Star, Django asked Rocky and Long Wei to find the action superstars here, and relying on the "nostalgia" in it, fans born in the 80s and 90s were encouraged to watch this film.

With the gradual unfolding of the storyline, the acting skills of the actors are also presented.

These action superstars were the all-powerful characters in the action movies they led, and each has a large number of loyal fans. They are "dead rivals" in the box office competition. In the movie, and in the same scene to start a battle of words, it is very enjoyable and funny to watch.

Of course, action superstars still watch "action". Although there are only two infighting between Longwei and Longger, at least a little bit, but as a plot modifier, it can be considered to satisfy the appetite of the audience.

The most interesting scenes are the explosions and gun battles. Among them, the most visually impactful scene is Guo Senstanda on a 100-foot-high plane, and Rocky shot back to the dictatorship dock. The scene immediately made people's blood rush; there is another one, part of the final decisive battle scene, the long gunner bombarded the enemy with an AA-12 automatic shotgun, the rumbling gunshots continued like shell explosions, and then accompanied by the loud noise Yes, it is the demise of the enemy in ashes, the whole battle scene is not procrastinated, and the rhythm is well controlled.

"Now I understand why you like to watch this kind of movie. The rhythm is fast, the action is very handsome, and it looks very hearty." Even Wang Lu, who didn't like watching action movies before, was gradually attracted by this kind of movie while watching. Conquered by the masculinity exuded by the group of "pure men".

"I'm not wrong, this kind of movie can make you glued to your seat, and you don't have time to catch your breath, and the adrenaline surges." Zhang Gang's attitude and views changed before he saw his girlfriend, and he felt a little bit of joy in his heart.

"Then, do you think the movie is good because Django's script is good, or because these action superstars acted well?" Wang Lu asked abruptly.

"Of course they are all good, and one is indispensable." Zhang Gang replied without hesitation, and continued: "There is no need to say more about acting skills, the best action superstar in the world, as for Django's script, the great thing is that it conveys' Strength itself is not just muscles, there are better forms of presentation', he let 'friendship' run through the whole film, around these two words to launch his hot war and fighting scenes, not like Hollywood in the 80s and 90s Just like an action movie, just show off your majestic muscles and strength.”

"It's quite reasonable, so many action movies and gunfight movies are not in vain." Wang Lu heard that it seemed to be the case, and immediately boasted.

The audience who walked out of the theater with them couldn't restrain their inner enthusiasm, and said that "The Expendables" gathered too many tough guys, full of explosive action scenes, and without losing humor and wisdom, the authentic action style, It seems to take them back to the glory days of action movies.

At the same time, on professional movie websites in various regions abroad, there are many post-watching testimonials left by viewers who have just watched the movie.

Netizen [D Burke] left a message saying: "Any movie lover or admirer of action heroes should not miss this movie!"

Netizen [matt] said: "It's not a movie, it's masculine!"

Netizen [Pauline] said: "This movie is really incredible. It's the first time I saw so many attractive men in one movie at the same time. After watching it, I fell in love with them completely!"

……

There are many positive reviews and many negative reviews.

"Detroit News" commented: "It's a bit like a trip to the gym with a flat tire."

"Not as funny as it could have been," The Globe and Mail wrote.

"New York Daily News" commented: "The film directed by Rocky and Long Wei will not win any Oscars, but the height of the stupid genre it has reached makes it difficult for others to catch up."

……

No matter how many people don't like "The Expendables", it cannot deny the fact that the fierce confrontation between the nine action male stars and the hot action scenes in the film not only make the male audience who love action movies go crazy, but even those who don't like to watch action movies Female audiences of different genres were also conquered.
