1077. The longed-for North American market
Although these film critics and media have been publicly reported, it is undeniable that such comments still make Ali Media happy.
When it comes to China, it does have a certain boost to the box office of "Infernal Affairs".
Of course, if the box office of "Infernal Affairs" in North America can explode, then the box office of "Infernal Affairs" will definitely be more exciting for the future domestic box office.
The audience at the preview also had a very high evaluation of the movie.
Although most pre-screen theaters are mainly Chinese communities, they can also explain some problems.
"The rhythm and plot of the movie are dazzling"
“This movie is exciting, creepy…all in all, complex and charming”
“It’s a pity that there are too few movies like this!”
"The fateful showdown, the same helplessness, different endings, make people intoxicated!"
"One of the best crime movies I've ever seen!"
"This is a good movie! But I'm a little worried if viewers other than Chinese can understand it!"
It can be said that the situation is very good.
The feedback from major theaters is also very good.
Although some theaters have expressed their reservations about the content of the movie being full of unique oriental elements, they still expressed their willingness to give the movie some screen.
Then, something even more exciting to Ali Media appeared.
After "Infernal Affairs" was premiered, several Hollywood film companies contacted Ali Media and expressed their hope to buy the North American adaptation rights of "Infernal Affairs".
Although the adaptation rights of "Infernal Affairs" have nothing to do with Ah Li.
The copyright of this movie belongs to Huaxinhe Times Light and Shadow, as well as Wang Yifan.
No matter how expensive it is, it actually has nothing to do with Ah Li, but this is a big publicity stunt.
And not only a few Hollywood companies want it, but also two well-known Hollywood directors also fell in love with "Infernal Affairs".
The famous Hollywood director, Mark Thomson, and the Golden Globe Award winner, the Hollywood director who was nominated for the Hollywood Best Director many times, Moses James also expressed his interest in the North American adaptation rights of "Infernal Affairs"!
"Infernal Affairs" has become a hot commodity, including five giants including Mina Group and DSN Group, competing for the North American adaptation rights of "Infernal Affairs"!"
"Before the official release of Infernal Affairs, "Infernal Affairs" has been sought after by many companies, including well-known directors such as Mark Thomson and Moses James!"
"The preview of "Infernal Affairs" has begun, and the reputation of film critics, media and audiences has exploded, and may be expected to replicate the box office myth of China in North America!"
"Infernal Affairs" was named one of the best police and gangster films in China's history!"
"The famous film critic blew up "Infernal Affairs" and said it was one of the best Chinese-language movies he has ever seen!"
Of course, many of these reports are the result of Ah Li's public relations, but it has to be said that these reports have indeed made many North American audiences notice such a Chinese film that has been highly sought after before it was released.
Of course, it is still unknown how many North American audiences can be attracted to the theater to watch movies.
But at least, for the moment, the situation is very good.
After it was introduced to China, the style of painting changed again!
"The Infernal Affairs" was red before it was released, and the flowers bloomed inside and outside the wall were fragrant. Five Hollywood companies were following it and wanted to buy the adaptation rights at a high price!"
"Infernal Affairs" won the Golden Globe Award-winning director Moses, and he wants to adapt "Infernal Affairs" to hit the Oscar again!"
"Infernal Affairs" is a hit in North America, with media, film critics, and a good reputation among the public, and is even more praised by industry insiders!"
"The best Hong Kong police and gangster films, "Infernal Affairs" is worthy of the revival of Hong Kong films. Its box office in China exceeded 1 billion in five days, and it became popular before it was released in North America!"
And these reports did bring considerable stimulation to the box office of "Infernal Affairs".
In fact, this is really not considered as admiring foreign countries.
Many people always think that Chinese movies are popular in North America, and they feel proud of them, that is, they admire foreign countries and fawn on foreign countries.
In fact, I can't say that.
After all, to be honest, although China is not worthy of North America now, and the rapid development of the domestic economy has brought the strength of China and North America infinitely closer, some aspects can not be caught up overnight.
Like a movie!
Hollywood movies have a history of more than a hundred years. Although there were movies in China in the early years, they have been dying for too many years.
The real development time is only twenty years, how can it be compared with Hollywood movies?
Many domestic cents praise Hollywood movies and belittle domestic movies. In fact, there is no need to do so, because domestic movies took only twenty years to catch up with Hollywood. Although there was a gap, they were not as big as imagined.
However, the Hollywood film industry is already very mature, while Chinese films are still a long way to go before they mature.
But there is no need to underestimate yourself. In such a short time, Chinese movies can catch up with a lot, and the future is promising.
Domestic movies can achieve good box office in North America, Hollywood's base camp, and good affirmation and reputation, which can be said to be very good results.
It is not that foreigners are superior to Chinese people, but that Hollywood movies have captured cities and land all over the world. In the past, Chinese movies could only guard China and present a defensive posture. Now that they can go abroad and achieve success in North America is worthy of recognition.
This is not a praising foreigners, but a recognition of Chinese films!
In "Infernal Affairs", perhaps some people do not follow the crowd and follow the crowd. This movie is highly praised in China.
But there are still some people who don’t catch a cold and think that they are all the results of public relations and evaluation control.
But with overseas reports and North America's reactions, they naturally cannot ignore this movie.
As a result, the box office that has been falling in "Infernal Affairs" has experienced a brief reverse decline.
Although this time didn't last long, it still felt incredible!
Because the box office of "Infernal Affairs" is already very exaggerated, it has passed the billion mark in less than five days, and the daily box office still maintains a momentum of over 100 million.
After the first week, the domestic box office of "Infernal Affairs" reached 1.5 billion!
It can be said that Cao Meng immediately became the hottest director at the moment.
Moreover, because "Infernal Affairs" had a very enthusiastic response in North America in the early stage, Cao Meng's identity naturally rose.
Especially Ali, he frequently contacted Cao Meng.
Cao Meng also showed quite ambiguousness, which made Times Light and Shadow very angry.
It's actually very simple. Cao Meng might not have been so inflated before, but now it is different from the past.
"Infernal Affairs" can be said to have made Cao Meng's ambitions suddenly expand.
Especially in North America, "Infernal Affairs" is about to be released, and the previous data, reputation, etc. all show that "Infernal Affairs" has a high probability of being a big seller in North America!
