Chapter 290 Regret to death
There are good and bad. Some people praise it and some people step on it. There has never been a lack of opposites in this world, because things themselves are not 100% perfect.
It's just two clowns. Even the funny way, the development of the plot and the final result are Hollywood-style. Unfortunately, the imitation is too clumsy - Miami Star
The plot is old-fashioned. Every change of the plot can be guessed at the beginning. For the sake of Hollywood, Hollywood comes out of nothing but a grandstanding thing, without any connotation and its own things - Boston Guide
The plot is empty. Except for the two people talking to each other there, the other plots are good - The Washington Post
There are the most comments on the movie, but there are few comments about Chen Jin and Zhang Weijian. Obviously, everyone is born with two Hong Kong people.
The actor of Mike is a very popular musician and film actor in Hong Kong. He is very talented, from music producer, songwriter to singer, to film actor, director, producer and producer, and screenwriter. It is said that he wrote this film. He has a very interesting English name KI. NG, this is his English translation of Chinese gold, but in Hong Kong, some people call him king.
Perhaps, his best thing is his Chinese kung fu. I heard that he designed the fighting scenes in the movie, and he can really fight more than a dozen people alone, with his bare hands. I really want to see if it's true.
He is very famous, but he is also a playboy. This time, his role is a true performance. There is nothing too outstanding. On the contrary, another guy named DICK plays Maxi, which is a little interesting. I heard that he is still a famous rookie, but I am very optimistic about his prospects - "Ho Lai" The View of the Dock
This is the only article that carefully mentions Chen Jin and Zhang Weijian. The others are very short, with praise and derogatory comments.
Undoubtedly, the film director was very successful in casting. As soon as Mike's actor appeared, he made people feel that he was a complete playboy; and another Maxi actor gave people a very interesting sense of humor. His action and even that bald head gave him more points - Star Daily
Maxi's actor gives people a very amazing feeling. He has found a Western wit, and that playboy, well, in addition to a face that makes men all over the world jealous, he may also have that figure. I don't think it has anything to do with the movie anymore - Los Angeles Times
The script is okay, but this group of actors completely ruined the movie. A group of so-called guys don't understand the American language at all - "Peripheral Dishments"
I don't know what the director thinks. Why does the playboy keep his shirt open? Well, I admit that this guy is really charming, but this is a movie, not a meat seller. This is also the biggest failure of this movie - "Movie Characters"
Whether it's good or bad, in a word, many media are paying attention to the film "The Jedi" is true, and although the reputation is mixed, the number of cinemas still increased to 1108 in the third week, and the box office also recorded a high of 28.3 million in the weekend box office statistics in the third week, again. He advanced to the first place in the weekly box office list and won the eighth place.
By the end of the weekend of this week, the box office in the United States had reached 50 million. There is still a week of release, that is, the last fourth week. Unless there is a special reason, the film will be released from the cinema.
As for the global box office, in addition to the United States, JediMen, which has been released in various countries, has also achieved good results of more than 40 million US dollars. Coupled with the results of North America, I believe that it is not delusional to win more than 100 million US dollars at the global box office next weekend.
The expected success at the box office also shows to a certain extent that Chen Jin did a good job and went in the right direction. Moreover, the audience also recognized this, which, including Chen Jin and Chen Zichen, were very happy.
Perhaps the only regret is that Chen Jin and Zhang Weijian did not become popular because of this, and the media's attention was not high. Perhaps, if Chen Jin and Zhang Weijian were in Hollywood now, some film dealers might ask them to play some roles, but because of the identity marks of the two Hong Kong people, they can't get it. Although he is black, he is recognized by the American Will Smith and Lawrence.
If they want to succeed, they obviously need more efforts and more hardship than Americans, which is determined by their identity and a potential thinking and point of view of the United States.
Another interesting thing is that because of the success of Jedi, the North American release of "Farewell My Concubine" has also been much smoother. Fox in the 21st century has made concessions on many conditions. Obviously, they are also jealous of Universal and suddenly found such a gold-making treasure, hoping that Farewell My Concubine can also perform better.
Anyway, Hong Kong movies have finally shined all over the world. This is the unanimous voice of all Hong Kong media now, or the focus of continuous and excitement this Wednesday and Monday. Even in Asia, it is only one day slower than the United States. "The Jedi" is in Japan, South Korea and Taiwan together. It has been well received, and the box office is as much as 12 million US dollars, which is more than 100 million Hong Kong dollars.
Hong Kong was the first to be released. When nearly 30 million Hong Kong dollars were recorded in the first week, the guys who watched the play in the Hong Kong media first shut up. In the second week, the film was released in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and other places with the efforts of Universal Pictures. Hou, for better or worse, everyone closed their mouths and waited for the final result, and Chen Jin ignored the chase and interception of the reporters. He only said that the film was officially released, and there was no way to say anything.
In the first week of overseas release, because of the beginning of publicity, there is not much storm, neither good nor bad. The only good ones are Japan, South Korea and Taiwan in the Asian region. These three places are also influenced by Chen Jin's popularity.
But no matter what, there are more than 10 million US dollars in the world, which is more than 80 million Hong Kong dollars. Anyway, coupled with Hong Kong's box office approaching 50 million now, Chen Jin won this time.
However, the third week of its release in Hong Kong was very dull, only barely 10 million. In the first half of the month, it almost took out everyone's enthusiasm. However, this is also a turning point in the routine after the release of the film. What's more, even so, the total box office has more than 50 million, which is a new record. Yes.
However, when everyone thought they had stopped, the next shocking scene appeared. The crazy turning point began overseas. Hong Kong's flatness did not represent the flatness of the global box office. On the weekend, the news from the United States shocked everyone. In the second week of its release in the United States, Land Police actually grossed as much as 20.30 million US dollars. At the same time, in addition to other parts of the United States, it also grossed more than 18 million US dollars at the box office.
At this time, the media was stunned, but more fiercely, in the third week of overseas release, almost all countries had an increase in cinemas. At the same time, the focus of the media also made more public enter the cinemas. Therefore, on the weekend of the third week, the United States recorded a box office of more than 26 million US dollars, and its There are more than 28 million US dollars at the box office in his region.
At this time, it was already January 5, 1993, and "The Jedi" had been released from all cinemas in Hong Kong, and finally recorded a record box office of 66.3 million Hong Kong dollars.
If in the past, the box office of 66.63 million is enough to make all Hong Kong filmmakers jealous and crazy. However, the overseas distribution is more than 90 million US dollars, close to the box office of 800 million Hong Kong dollars. In the future, there may be higher cases. Everyone will lose their voice like individuals choking their necks. When they are too emotional, People are often dull, stunned, stupid, and don't know what to do.
However, after a short loss of voice, there was a burst of madness, and the first thing that appeared in front of the public was the noise of the media.
Take a look. What I said before, I said that King Chen is not a reckless person. He is always so wise as the sea. Everything is under his control, and the facts prove his correctness also prove my excellent vision - what else does the Scarecrow in "Movie Weekly" need to say? Many people think that the king Chen will encounter Waterloo. Only I have always believed that he is the greatest one - "Entertainment Point-to-Point" lazy person. I have been emphasizing that everyone should give King Chen more confidence. He is so talented and wise. How can he make such a low-level mistake? Everything can only be proved. The stupidity of those who want to slander him - "Star News Weekly" Qingming Yafengting, like the three newspapers and magazines above, many people were very shamelessly at the first time before such great achievements, as if they were the guy who really supported Chen Jin, and he was the king of the media.
Of course, there are different voices:
I'm sorry that I was not so resolute when I supported King Chen at that time, but he told me with the truth that he was really so great and always so great. Those shameless guys, don't preach that you are the only ones who support King Chen. I'm the only one who unfortunately to tell you. Be careful. The last time, I collected all the articles about you attacking King Chen. Do you want me to publicize it?
I think it's better for you to come and buy me a good drink - He Zidong of the Oriental Daily. I thought about it carefully. I'm sure I didn't support the guy who seemed crazy at that time, because I'm still a little unbelievable now. This is really a miracle and worth my worship. Although, I still don't understand how the movie sold so well now. Is it that this is the reason why I'm still so poor now? It seems that I have to try to find a piece of tofu - "Entertainment Infinite" Sha Gang Wolf for the first time. I don't want to talk about King Chen and the woman. I want to praise him, although I must have sneered before. This guy, however, it should not be too late to make up for it now, or it's much better than those guys who shamelessly yelled at them for a long time.
King Chen has money. For him, 60 million Hong Kong dollars may really be nothing, but I am impressed by the courage to use 60 million to build a new hope and goal. This may be the difference between him and me and others.
His talent no longer has to prove anything, but he has been exploring. This time, he boldly aimed overseas, and he dared to use Zhang Weijian as the real protagonist and let him play it to his heart's content. Finally, although I have never understood whether such a movie is really great, the Jedi The success of "Men" tells me that this is different from me and others. He really understands this.
Perhaps, he is really too different from me and others, and this is the real KING. He is the only guy who knows more, but works harder, and braver, and knows what his goal is.
Looking forward to his next surprise for us. Finally, I have to say that he is really an enviable playboy - "Entertainment Weekly" Ke Fan, whether good or bad, whether he slandered or supported him before, on January 5, although the film is still being released, the grand celebration banquet of "The Jedi" is in the article. The banquet hall of Hua Hotel was officially held, and these entertainers were naturally invited to participate in such a grand event.
The Peninsula Hotel is obviously more luxurious, but Chen Jin prefers the human flavor of the Mandarin Hotel, so he put almost all the banquets on the Wenhua Hotel. In the circle, some people understand that Chen Jin doesn't like the Peninsula Hotel very much. Even through this aspect, it proves that Chen Jin is not short-tempered, but rarely shows. It's just coming out.
Starting from seven o'clock, someone rushed over after five o'clock, but most of them were old friends. These people have not seen each other for a long time. At most, they talked on the phone. On the one hand, it happened to be around Christmas, and there was no one who was not busy. On the other hand, Chen Jin was also concentrily preparing the upcoming Japanese single disc these days, Han The singles and Cantonese albums, as well as the later stage of "Winter Love Songs", also need to be completely checked by him. In his spare time, he filled those commercial performances and advertising activities.
Of course, there are also Chen Jin who deliberately want to avoid those entertainment notes and want to calm down and plan next year's plan.
The first group of people included Brother Fa, Brother, Sister Fang, Andy Lau, Zhang Xueyou, Guo Fucheng, Li Ming, Lin Qingxia, Li Jiaxin and Wang Zuxian, among which there were two bosses, Brother Qiang and He Guanchang. Seeing that they came so early, it was obvious that they had written to talk to Chen Jin.
However, I'm afraid that their biggest emotion now is regret. It's completely possible that even their intestines are regretful. Thinking about the beginning, if someone had been a little bolder, it would now be a tenfold harvest. Nai's, ten times. That's not ten yuan to 100 yuan, but 10 million to 100 million yuan, and 40 million to 400 million yuan. !
