August 22, the Chinese Valentine's Day.

Couples holding flowers can be seen walking towards major entertainment venues everywhere on the streets. KTV and cinemas became crowded places. Couples lined up in long queues at the cinema ticket entrances, just to have the same fun as eating, watching movies, singing and having sex on this day.

And this day happened to be the premiere of the movie ""!

This day was very good. On Thursday night, couples took advantage of the festival series in the cinema. On Friday night, "" will usher in another group of people who caught up with the weekend. On Saturday and Sunday are the peak periods of cinemas, everything is clearly destined to be connected together.

What's better is that "" did not encounter a seven-day screening like "Heroes" and "Heroes of Heaven and Earth". Huayi, which will be released directly, will reduce the crisis caused by piracy.

Why did Heroes and Heroes of Heaven and Earth showcase seven days but "No"?

The reason is very simple. Before the release of "Heroes" and "Heroes of Heaven and Earth" both went through the so-called "seven-day screening" not "preview", but because both films were pushed to "Oscars". According to the "Oscars", there must be seven-day commercial screening records before the movie is submitted for trial, which shows that the two sides have completely different ways of handling piracy. Shao Yingxiong planned to fight with piracy. All clerks of the entire Huayi Company's TV Drama Department were mobilized. From August 20, the copy of "" once again entered the printing factory, all of these people were put into battle.

Not only did they be patrolled 24 hours a day in the printing factory, but when Huayi employees who got the copy took the copy to cinemas across the country, they all stared at the cinema employees who locked the copy. Even if they locked it, they had to go and try to see if there was a lock. Because Wang Zhongjun said that as long as the movie escaped the first seven days of thieves - the rampant version, all employees on business trips in the company will get red envelopes!

At the same time, Huayi also set up a "anti-piracy fund". The 1 million yuan cash reporting fee is specifically used to combat piracy. As long as anyone finds a pirated CD with any regular company title on the market and reports it, after verification, you can receive a reward ranging from 100 to 500 yuan. On August 22, "" opened its national premiere at 8 pm. Mainland and Xiangjiang simultaneously test the achievements of the movie "" and the real battle has only begun.

The reason why "" chose to be released at the end of August is a last resort. It must not only avoid the storm of "Troy" and "New Police Story" released on September 24. It is even more unthinkable in the October Golden Week. It is the battlefield of "Harry Potter" and "New Police Story". Huayi only launched a "Kokexili" during the Golden Week. Even Feng Xiaogang's "Night Banquet" released in advance has moved to the Christmas New Year holiday. On August 22, the Chinese Valentine's Day became Shao Yingxiong's only choice under the pressure of "The Day Afternoon" and "Troy", and it is also the only gap in the movie "The siege of "The Day After" and "Troy".

Coincidentally, there are not many blockbusters released on the Chinese Valentine's Day on August 22. "" can move forward steadily on this sea level without much turbulence. In the same period, the only one that can pose a threat to "" was released on August 5. "Spider-Man 2" and the French film "The God of Cars" that have been released for 17 days so far were originally scheduled to be released in early August. "Harry Potter 3", which should have collided with "" and was urgently adjusted like Shao Yingxiong, and the schedule was placed in the Golden Week.

This is a bit incomprehensible. After all, "Harry Potter" is more attractive to children in the summer season... The only explanation is that the producers of "Harry Potter" do not want to compete for box office with "Spider-Man 2" in the same period. Their mutual push gives "" the opportunity to take advantage of it, even if the producers of these two movies do not take "" seriously.

On the Chinese Valentine's Day, "" appeared on the big screen. Wei Jiahui led the entire crew to hold a premiere at the Beijing Huaxing Cinema. Media from all over the country gathered at this time, and various problems were blooming.

"Director Wei Jiahui. Do you have any expectations for your first movie to join Huayi?"

After the reporter asked, Wei Jiahui replied in poor Mandarin: "There must be expectations. But I can't say this expectation yet, I can only say it. "" chose the right opportunity."

"Mr. Shao Yingxiong, what do you feel about acting in this movie? The bet between you and director Du Qifeng, who is the final winner?"

Shao Yingxiong looked at Wei Jiahui. He couldn't be careless with Wei Jiahui present, so he could only say tactfully: "I feel that Brother Hui is a very troublesome director. When filming this movie, both me and Fu Biao were tortured by Brother Hui, so life was worse than death. However, the unique flavor in the movie is probably not possible for you to find any of the same types throughout the August period. This is an exception." He avoided the issue of betting, and it would be fine to see some things.

"Tang Wei, I heard that you participated in this movie as a student in the Central Academy of Drama, and there are still a lot of naked-nude shots in the movie. Is this true?"

Tang Wei smiled and said mischievously: "I won't tell you, just watch a movie, there are all the answers in it."

This sentence is very playful and is very suitable for girls. If a man says to the media, "I won't tell you" this sentence, he may be able to spit it out. But if Tang Wei says it, it will make the reporter feel that this newcomer is very cute and has not been gagged yet.

"Okay, everyone, the video is about to be screened in the exam, and we are going to enter the venue."

Wei Jiahui led the entire crew to the set according to his habit of being in Xiangjiang. It is said that some small-budget movies in Xiangjiang will have a preview period. At this time, the main creators of the crew will participate in the premiere during the adaptation period and feel the audience's applause or boo on the set. After coming to the mainland, Wei Jiahui retained this habit. He hoped that the crew would be responsible for their hard work together, regardless of whether the ending was sad or happy.

Shao Yingxiong and the crew creators entered the theater and sat in the last row. When the opening of the Huayi Brothers appeared, they found that there were fewer viewers looking back at the stars. The audience who bought tickets began to turn their heads and stare at the big screen.

In 2004, domestic cinemas had not yet entered the digital era, and the way of playing big screens was still the mainstream trend. "" kicked off on August 22 in this environment.

The movie was slowly played under everyone's attention. When Shao Yingxiong's character He Guohui discovered a fraud case in an insurance company, he encountered three other members of the gang and gradually developed into a gang that used for assassination, the audience exclaimed.

They have watched assassinators who work as their career in "The Full Time Killer"; they have also watched the process of humans fighting against death and struggling on the lifeline of life and death in "The God of Death"; but they have never seen the killing method of combining the two together and controlling human-made ones.

Wow!

The moment the first person killed was pierced by glass fragments, the deceased fell to the ground with excessive blood loss and twitching as if Shao Yingxiong was standing next to the show. His coldness seemed to be a demon who regarded life as a mustard of grass.

"Um!"

The audience gave the second exclamation because the second person killed was electrocuted by a kite hanging on the wire. This obviously unreasonable behavior did not trigger the audience's guess, but the novel death mode and controllable methods made them feel fresh. Among them, there was the son who pushed his biological father to the death line in order to cheat insurance money. There was a question about He Guohui being almost killed when the bus slipped on the side of the rainy night, especially the question of Fu Biao's death, especially the sentence Fu Biao was lying on the street on a rainy night, spitting blood on the street: "Is this?"...

It's very magical. The tense plot and eye-catching links made it rare for the theater to whisper during the entire movie, and even those who leave the show did not appear.

"two."

Wei Jiahui said softly in Shao Yingxiong's ear.

Shao Yingxiong turned around and asked, "What?"

"We didn't catch everyone's attention. Two people went to the bathroom." Wei Jiahui said a little dissatisfied.

Shao Yingxiong ignored him. He felt that the guy around him was a little too harsh.

The scene of Shao Yingxiong and Wu Zhenyu playing in the corridor appeared. After Wu Zhenyu beat Shao Yingxiong in the corridor, the finale different from the original film also began to take place. Shao Yingxiong, who left the corridor with guilt, walked forward in a little confused. This was a scene when he moved out of the rental where he monitored Wu Zhenyu. When he passed a tripod that was under construction, the workers' climbing suddenly caused the construction tripod to collapse, and the fallen tripod hit the air conditioner outside the stairs. When the air conditioner fell, Shao Yingxiong happened to pass by with tears of guilt...

bump.

The former murderer was concentrated by the falling air conditioner, and suddenly trembled and then lay on the ground. The camera changed from close-up to a little bit higher. Finally, it was pressed down again and frozen on Shao Yingxiong's face. It seemed to predict that his soul would never go to heaven.

At this moment, the movie is coming to an end. The police rushed into Wu Zhenyu's office and arrested Wu Zhenyu on multiple charges such as murder and fraud. The evidence for the arrest of Wu Zhenyu was that they had already set their sights on this guy. It was not until he was about to kill He Guohui and rushed back to his head in anger and personally arranged the scene. The entire shot was cut off here. When it appeared again, Wu Zhenyu sat in the interrogation room of the criminal police team with evil intentions and said expressionlessly: "I admit all the charges. I killed the people, and I killed the old man and He Guohui."

The policeman asked him: "Why?"

Wu Zhenyu replied: "Because there can't be two organizations in a company that make money through this industry. Isn't this obvious? What's more, he killed my wife!"

The policeman outside rushed into the interrogation room, pushed open the door and said panic: "Captain, my sister-in-law came out, and the car was hit by the street intersection in front!"

The policeman who was interrogating exclaimed loudly: "What!" and then quickly left the scene. Wu Zhenyu was the only one left in the interrogation room. He raised his eyebrows, grinned his lips, looked up at a 45-degree angle above, and didn't know who he was talking to. He asked as if he was talking to the audience: "Do you believe this?"

There was a darkness on the big screen, and no one of the audience moved. They thought there might be some explanations later, but the moment the subtitles came out, the movie was indeed over.

Shao Yingxiong, Wei Jiahui, Wu Zhenyu and other main creative staff left the theater early. The reporter was waiting for an interview at the entrance of the theater. When he saw the audience, he rushed up and asked, "What do you think of the movie?"

"It's so cool. The plot is compact. It makes people look at it so hard that they don't even want to go to the toilet. I thought Wu Zhenyu was wronged. It turned out that he was *oss... Oh, I'm sorry, I have to go to the toilet first."

"How do you think of the movie?" The reporter found another audience member.

The audience replied: "It's all good, but the ending is too fucking. Wu Zhenyu ran away, sentenced, and died? You have to give me an explanation. Also, what happened to the family of the police captain who was hit by a car? You can't say nothing! Shao Yingxiong, are you addicted to filming TV series? Why are you on the big screen and playing with the button at the end? Do you believe it or not? I went to the radio and television to complain that the plot is too bloody and violent? I told you, I'm not kidding. If you don't get the sequel out quickly, I really complain to you!"

Huaxing Cinema gave the movie viewing data at the premiere of the day at 6 pm the next day. The box office results of this theater alone reached 100,000 on the first day!!!

The data of major theaters at Huaxing Cinema were also caged out soon after. Without any blockbusters, the box office of the mainland easily exceeded 1.5 million on the first day, and the box office of Xiangjiang has not been counted for the time being, which is unknown.

At the moment when the unexpected box office results were released, no one had ever thought that a movie that invested closely 20 million rmb would win the box office of 1.5 million on the first day. If this trend was followed, there would be no problem with the box office reaching 30 million before the "" was drawn!
Chapter completed!
