You made me a superstar

Chapter 90: A New Chapter in Huaxia Film History! (first update)
Art films……

It can be regarded as a relatively different existence in Chinese movies.

His word of mouth is generally high, but the box office is generally low. There are never many films in China's theaters, and they are not comparable to some traditional commercial blockbusters.

Even if you win awards at the three major film festivals.

The three major film festivals, to put it bluntly, feel like a fool in front of filmmakers and knowledgeable people, but they are quite unfamiliar to ordinary people, and they are far less famous than some commercial films.

Of course, the former "Overlord" by director Chen Kai, who is now being scolded like a dog, is an exception.

The definition of this movie is very strange. It is obviously a literary film, but it has swept the entire 90s film industry. When talking about the history of the 90s, you can't avoid this movie.

Even if you watch the movie "Overlord" now, you will still feel that it is classic, watchable and highly transformative of the times, and the artistic level is still at its peak...

A true classic that cannot be surpassed.

The global box office of this movie is also very scary. In the 90s, it set off an astonishing box office of 3000 million US dollars worldwide. In that era when classics were frequently released and excellent works were everywhere, it broke through a tight encirclement abruptly, which is amazing!

In fact...

Chinese filmmakers and Chinese movie fans generally think that Chen Kai is the number one director in China!
You mean Shen Changwei who is as famous as him?

Shen Changwei is not a fart, go ahead and play, he is not worthy of carrying shoes.

But who would have thought that Chen Kai, the great director who truly created classics and amazed an era, would suddenly get a fever at this time and make himself a "Tianji"?
The literary and artistic films after "Overlord", no matter in box office or in all aspects of influence, are more than half inferior to "Overlord". After "Overlord", literary and artistic films have fallen into a strange circle. Changes, to Xiaojia culture, and then slowly gradually sluggish, the overseas box office hit the street, the three major film festivals are reduced to supporting roles every year, and there is no movie that has the momentum of "Overlord" that swept Cannes back then up!
The only thing I can watch is the romance film "Under the Banyan Tree" made in 03 by Shen Changwei, who is not worthy of Chen Kai's shoes.

Although the overseas box office is not very good, the astonishing figure of 8000 million box office in China is definitely something to look up to.

Of course, it is impossible for "Mine Bottom" to reach the astonishing data of 8000 million.

In Zhou Yilin's subconscious mind, he never put "Overlord" and "Under the Banyan Tree" in the comparison of literary films.

In his mind, how could "Mine Bottom" be qualified to be compared with these classics?

but……

The premiere box office of "Mine Bottom" really made his eyes widen.

Not only did "Mine Bottom" make him stare wide-eyed, but the performance of "Hero" made Zhou Yiyi shudder!

"Impossible, this..."

"Impossible!"

Early in the morning of June 3.

Zhou Yilin's text message rang, and when he saw the premiere data on the text message, he fell into a state of shock.

After a long time, I still couldn't come back to my senses.

....................................

"How much is the premiere box office?"

""Hero" broke 1000 and [-] million, setting a record for China's premiere box office!"

"How much is "Extreme Pursuit"?"

"700."

"Good fellow! Good fellow!"

The leaders of the Huaying film management department stared at the data excitedly, and the middle-aged man sitting at the top said two consecutive words "good guy"!
His name is Han Guoping, the leader of Huaxia Film Management Department.

At this moment, a big stone in his heart fell.

March.

It is the end of the domestic film protection month.

The purpose of the domestic film protection month is that when Hollywood blockbusters are raging in China, the official schedule will be adjusted in an undisclosed manner, and Hollywood blockbusters will not be screened or delayed in those months, so that Chinese films can have breathing room. So as not to be beaten powerless.

This was proposed by Cao Guoping himself in front of a crowd last year, and he also applied to the superiors.

When applying, he explained that the form of Huaxia movies in all aspects is severe, and Hollywood is ambitious. If there is no restriction, Huaxia movies will sooner or later become a "colony" of Hollywood.

This is a very sad thing.

Unfortunately, the reply from the superior was quite disappointing. They neither disagreed nor expressed their support, but only said some inexplicable words.

Han Guoping understood that this matter cannot be made public, it can only be done in private.

With the intention of protecting domestic films, Cao Guoping privately held two domestic film protection months last year...

then……

He was slapped in the face!
Without the stimulation of Hollywood movies, China's local movies not only failed to achieve the results they should have, but even sluggish as always, especially for several movies in the Spring Festival this year. a feeling of.

But those delayed Hollywood movies are cursing and putting pressure on various departments, thinking that Huaxia is deliberately targeting them.

Cao Guoping originally wanted to escort "Heroes" and "Warring States", two blockbusters with high expectations, and continued to schedule the two Hollywood movies until late March in early March, but he didn't expect that the pressure from the top would not be enough. Delaying the filming again.

Facing the pressure from above, Cao Guoping stubbornly postponed the two Hollywood movies "Extreme Pursuit" and "Resident Evil" again, freeing up enough box office space for "Warring States"...

However, he was slapped in the face again. The box office performance of "Warring States" on the first day was not bad, but the box office of Waterloo on the second and third day directly swollen his face severely.

A few days ago, he was invited by the leader to drink tea for a long time. Although he was drinking tea, he begged the leader to give him another chance, but the leader shook his head in the end.

"Hero" had its premiere on March [-]th, and its opponent was "Xtreme Hunt", a film starring Hollywood veteran actor Nicola Kevin...

Cao Guoping has been very shadowed by Hollywood movies these years, especially the movies of big-name Hollywood actors, the shadow in his heart is even bigger!

It's almost impossible to win!

Before the premiere yesterday, he almost stayed up all night. After seeing the grand occasion of "Hero" today, he got a little better.

did not expect……

The performance of "Hero" shocked him!
1000 and 500 million at the premiere box office, which almost broke the Hollywood movie "Time Machine"'s premiere box office record of [-] million!
He is inspiring!
But what inspired him even more...

"The movie "Mine Bottom" performed very well at the box office at its premiere, and it can be regarded as a group of dark horses!"

"How much box office?"

"400 million, and it's not a very good start, tomorrow, judging from the statistics and fans' enthusiasm, this box office may... be on par with "Extreme Pursuit"!"

"Good, good, good!"

Cao Guoping excitedly continued to say three "good" words!

Suddenly sweeping away the haze of the past, I was too excited to be myself.

..............................

""Hero" has created an astonishing box office, and it is the first time that a Chinese film has challenged a Hollywood film!"

"Good news keeps coming, "Hero" may break the box office record of the Hollywood blockbuster "Time Machine"?"

"Creating history, the arrival of a new era, "Hero" has given a bloody mouthful of blood to Chinese blockbusters, and the era of Chinese blockbusters has officially set sail!"

"Score 9.2 points! The pinnacle of martial arts movies..."

"The box office of the premiere of "Mine Bottom" is amazing, and it is expected to match the Hollywood movie "Xtreme Hunt" the next day!"

"China Film Rising Day!"

March!
All Chinese filmmakers feel that they have witnessed the history of Chinese films!

"Hero" failed in Berlin, and everyone thought that Chinese movies would cast another layer of gloom...

But no one would have imagined that "Mine Bottom" would directly win a grand prize, filling the gap for Chinese films at the Berlin International Film Festival.

Those were exhilarating times...

When a group of people were still immersed in the joy of victory, "Hero" once again set a terrific box office record after its premiere.

China's amazing box office of 1000 and [-] million RMB!

Everyone at Brother Films, the production company of "Hero", was very excited!
This is one of the few moments when Huaxia Movies officially overwhelmed Hollywood movies at the box office. Before the premiere, all the executives of Brother Films were in a state of pessimism!

Hollywood movies, that's Hollywood movies, how to win?

The box office of "Warring States" is like this. This seems to be an omen. How did you win?
But no one can think of...

Reality kissed them so hard that they wanted to go to the sky and stand shoulder to shoulder with the sun.

This seems to be a ray of dawn in the endless darkness, this ray of dawn illuminates the entire sky!
And under the dazzling light of "Hero", the box office performance of the movie "Mine Bottom" is also amazing. When it premiered on the first day, the movie has already paid back!

online……

Many people are predicting that "Mine Bottom" will be equal to "Extreme Pursuit" on the second day of its premiere!
That's an art movie!

It is another piece of history that literary and artistic films have equaled Hollywood blockbusters!
In fact, it was exactly as everyone thought...

On the second day, the box office of "Hero" directly bombed to 400 million, not low but increased!
However, the box office of the Hollywood blockbuster "Extreme Pursuit" dropped by 200 million, from the initial 700 million to 500 million. On the contrary, the movie "Mine Bottom" rose to 500 million, which was really on par with Hollywood blockbusters.

Many people regard March [-]th as the day of the rise of Chinese movies.

........................

"Wow, Dad, "Hero" is really good to watch. Everyone is flying around on it, and I want to fly too, puff, puff, puff!"

"Haha, that's a movie special effect!"

"Whether it's special effects or not, I want to practice swords, and I want to become a flying hero. Dad, can you sign up for a martial arts class for me?"

"Haha, okay!"

"Dad, I want an autographed photo of that martial arts superstar Liang Jinlong, he is so handsome!"

"Haha, okay, I'll ask you for one later..."

May 3, weekend.

In the evening, Zhao Kongliang drove his private car towards his home amid bursts of laughter and discussions.

Zhao Kongliang is the attending doctor of Yanjing People's Hospital.

He has always been very busy on weekdays. Today, he finally took the time to accompany his children to the cinema to watch the movie "Hero".

"Hero" was shot really well, even Zhao Kongliang, who has no interest in movies on weekdays, watched it from beginning to end.

Of course, if it wasn't for the fact that the movie "Mine Bottom" is not suitable for children to watch, Zhao Kongliang would also like to take his children to watch the movie "Mine Bottom" and support it.

Just when he arrived home in his vehicle, he suddenly saw a man wearing a mask and hat, who was suspected of being a thief, was "sneaking" in the yard of his villa.

He was stunned!
Just as he was frowning and was about to call the police, he suddenly saw the "thief" turn his head suddenly.

"Doctor Zhao!"

"Ok?"

"Doctor Zhao, I'm finally waiting for you to come back... I'm Zhou Yang, do you remember me? That Zhou Yang who sat on the bench in the hospital all night!"

"what?"
