Chapter 216 "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" hits the street

Obviously "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" can also be regarded as Zhang Liang's work. It should be released at this time to create momentum for Zhang Liang, but it is not the case.

Because, if "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" became a big hit, it must have brought a lot of help to Zhang Liang, but in fact, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" hit the street!

As a famous director in China for a long time, when Zhang Muyi's new movie was released, the major theaters naturally gave a lot of face to "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".And on the first day of the show, it did arouse the curiosity of many people, and many people bought tickets to watch it.

But soon, the film reviews of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" on various platforms were dismal, and because of these film reviews, the box office of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was also quite miserable!
The box office on the first day did not even reach 1000 million. This should be regarded as the most dismal box office film in Zhang Muyi's career as a director!

In today’s era of pursuing visual effects and visual enjoyment, the market for pure martial arts movies like "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has long since disappeared. What is flying over the walls and stepping on green bamboos? It can cause some amazement, but in the eyes of this group of tricky judges, it is simply child's play.

This kind of pure martial arts, how can there be all kinds of explosions, all kinds of robot battles, or all kinds of fairy magic power fights, isn't it good-looking?As for the script, lines, and deep meaning of this movie, these are not things that ordinary audiences would consider at all.

Therefore, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has fluttered, and it has fluttered quite badly!

It was released for a week, and the total box office in the mainland was 1205 million!
It was released for two weeks, and the total box office in the mainland was 1589 million!
"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" not only broke Zhang Muyi's miserable record at the box office, but also changed the general public's understanding of Zhang Liang's script.

At this moment, the phrase "Zhang Liang's product must be a boutique" seems to be no longer practical!

No one is perfect, this word is once again effective.

Even Zhang Liang's scripts are not all classics, Zhang Liang also has his talents exhausted!
For Zhang Muyi's miserable box office, many people sent comforts one after another, but they didn't actually go to the theater to support it.Because of the hit of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", those expectations for "Charlotte Annoyance" were finally raised and disappeared.

After all, the hit of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has already shown that Zhang Liang has exhausted his talents. Even a director like Zhang Muyi can't make a blockbuster movie. So what kind of good movie can a new director like Zhang Liang make?
It's just that, at this time, everyone is patronizing to watch the box office of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" in the mainland, but they seem to ignore that "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is a movie that is released simultaneously all over the world!

But this is also a normal phenomenon. After all, it is rare for Huaxia movies to be released abroad, let alone simultaneously.In the cognition of almost all Chinese people, the domestic box office of China is the total box office of Chinese movies, and the overseas box office has always been an existence that has not been paid attention to, unless a certain Chinese movie won a prize at an international film festival. What kind of awards will the relevant media pay attention to the overseas box office of this movie.

What's more, generally speaking, the overseas box office and China's box office generally have a certain ratio, and the box office of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" in China is so miserable, how can anyone pay attention to the overseas box office of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"? ?Isn't this just adding to my heart?
In China, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" may be regarded as Zhang Muyi's movie and has little to do with me, but overseas "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is a movie of Chinese people, and there is a sense of nationality in an instant, and then If the box office is miserable, you will lose your face too, won't you?
After all, the embarrassment is all thrown abroad.

This is also the earliest time that others don't care about the overseas box office of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

But, most people don't care about it, so they don't know, but Zhang Liang already knew about it, because Zhang Muyi had already called Zhang Liang.

As soon as he answered the phone, Zhang Muyi naturally scolded Zhang Liang.

"You said that the box office of this movie in China will be relatively miserable, but it doesn't have to be so miserable, right?"

"What era is this? Martial arts themes are not popular in the first place, and it's not bad if they can sell 1000 million."

"That's right, you big-headed ghost. If it weren't for the overseas box office support, I would have to pay my grandma's house this time."

"You are here to win prizes, the box office is so tacky, isn't it?"

"Fart! Who would have trouble with money. But Zhang Liang, you are amazing! How do you know that this movie will be a hit at the overseas box office?"

"After all, compared to the Chinese people, the theme of martial arts is still very novel to those bumpkins overseas. With my wise screenwriter and your directing skills, this movie is naturally very novel to those long-haired people. .”

"Cut it, you will add gold to your face." Although Zhang Muyi's tone was very disdainful, Zhang Liang still felt a kind of joy from his tone. Just this tone can guess a rough box office, just not I don't know if it is the same as that parallel world that also set the record for the overseas box office of Huaxia movies. "Zhang Liang, your new movie doesn't seem to be popular. Would you like me to reveal the overseas box office of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" to boost your popularity?"

"No hurry, no hurry, what I enjoy is the pleasure of a sudden flash of inspiration and a severe slap in the face."

"You kid is so bad... But I like it, hahaha! I don't know how much box office he can get from "Journey to the West III" this time."

"I don't know, it shouldn't be too bad, after all, the IP is there."

"Well, that's right, this guy is too petty, and he made a bet with you like this, but others think you will be killed by him, but I am somewhat looking forward to whether you will kill him, I feel more and more now Your work is definitely a classic."

"Just live up to Director Zhang's expectations."

Because of the miserable box office of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", the original one-month release time was cut down by a small half in the end, and it was taken off the shelves 20 days before the release, and the total box office was only 1500 million. , Naturally, of course, I was so sad.

The box office of a well-known Chinese director's new movie was so poor, the public naturally blamed Zhang Liang for this. Almost everyone felt that Zhang Muyi was cheated by Zhang Liang this time.

Zhang Liang, who is at the end of his talents, once he has no inspiration, even Zhang Muyi is tricked like this. Then how much "Charlotte's Annoyance" will be watchable can be guessed at all.

At this time, Zhang Liang's studio also received a notice.

Invitation from Mango Channel's "Base Camp"!
This is definitely unexpected news, and it is a pretty good opportunity for the promotion of the movie!
After all, Zhang Liang didn't dare to go to Mango Channel to promote "Charlotte's Annoyance" in the fight between Zhang Liang and Mango Channel on variety shows before, but Mango Channel actually invited it this time?

But soon, Zhang Liang understood the reason for being invited, because the crew of "A Chinese Journey to the West III" was going to be promoted in "Base Camp", and as the first-generation performer of Supreme Treasure, Zhang Liang's invitation is also reasonable, right?
