On December 2, the movie "Die Hard" was released first, firing the first shot in the Christmas season.

The film is starring Hong Kong actor Cheng Long, British actor Alan Rickman and American movie star Bonnie Betilia.

Alan Rickman is Professor Snape in the series "Harry Potter". He is an actor with excellent acting skills and has been recognized by the British Film Academy Award.

Bonnie Betilia is the runner-up of Miss America in 1986, a brown-haired beauty, and is sexy. She basically plays a vase role in the film.

This movie was one of the most well-known action movies in the United States in its previous life. The sequels were filmed until the new century, with as many as five. In Hollywood, only a big-selling movie could be filmed, such as the Harry Potter series, the Star Wars series, the Spy Shadows series, the Mission: Impossible series, etc. The five movies that can be filmed in Die Hard can show how popular it is and how much the film company doesn't want it to end.

And this movie has been watched in Xia Tian. Compared with the previous version, he felt that Cheng Long's version was better. Not only did Cheng Long's kung fu add a lot of color to the movie, but Cheng Long's work attitude of daring to fight hard and not fearing dangers also contributed a lot of thrilling shots to the movie. In terms of visual effects, it is much better than the Bruce Willis version.

Although Bruce Willis is a tough guy on the screen, he is still a lot worse than Cheng Long, who is not afraid of death.

...

Before the release of "Die Hard", it had been promoted for half a month. The preview was held several times and reporters, fans, film critics and others were invited to watch it together. Everyone's evaluations were very good. They thought it was a great action film with ups and downs, plot twists and turns, and the character creation was also very successful.

The gentle, scheming and ruthless professor created by Alan Rickman is impressive, while the indestructible young hero Mike Lian played by Cheng Long is even more heartbreaking. With his unyielding fighting spirit, he dealt with the robbers and saved the entire company through hardships and dangers. He is truly a real hero.

So after the Christmas season was officially released, "Die Hard" achieved a very good attendance rate, breaking through in one fell swoop during the Christmas season of the best films and becoming the leader. Its high quality also made viewers praise it, making its box office performance rise all the way in the next few days.

"Mr. Xia, we have earned 30 million dollars in just one week of release." Long Mayer said to Xia happily.

"This is not too much. When will it reach $100 million, and then report good news to me." Xia Tian said without showing any expression.

The box office success of "Die Hard" was long as he expected, and whether it could exceed 100 million was what he really cared about.

Seeing Xia Tian so calm, Long Mayer couldn't help but admire him. To be honest, "Die Hard" was so popular that he could never have imagined.

Because the starring actor Cheng Long of this movie is a yellow-skinned Hong Konger, he should be less popular than white actors. So even though the quality of this movie is very good, it is likely that he will not be sold out because of Cheng Long.

But what he didn't expect was that the audience didn't mind Cheng Long's skin color at all, and went to the cinema to watch, and gave him a high evaluation, which made him wonder whether he was living in another Hollywood.

...

In fact, what Long Mayer doesn't know is that although Cheng Long is a yellow-skinned Hong Konger, he is not well-known in Hollywood at all.

Since the early 1980s, Jiahe has wanted to push Cheng Long to Hollywood, but after filming three movies, "The Killer Trench", "The Detective of the Wild Dragon" and "Sky Speed", they found that the response was not great, so they gave up temporarily.

However, although Cheng Long no longer develops in Hollywood, his film videos were released to the United States. Independent publishers like Xinyi Film are also happy to release Hong Kong kung fu films. One is cheap, the other is very popular among young people, especially black people. So over time, Cheng Long has also gained a lot of fans.

In addition, after acquiring Rainbow Media Holdings in the summer, Hong Kong-made movies were often broadcasted on its amc movie channel. Because there are tens of millions of subscribers on this channel, it also subtly influenced their aesthetics, making them gradually get used to the yellow people on the screen.

These video tapes, community theaters and cable TV channels, have laid a certain foundation for Cheng Long's success. In addition, Cheng Long himself is also successful and hardworking enough, so his popularity seems to be accidental, but it is inevitable.

...

"By the way, tomorrow's "Home Imperial" premiere, are you ready?" Xia Tian asked again.

"It's ready. Mr. Xia, are you going to see the premiere? Do you need to leave you a ticket?" Long Mayer asked again.

Xia Tian thought about it and nodded. He has finished the post-production of "Raw Eat" and now he has just had his spare time.

"You can help me keep five tickets at the movie theater in Palo Alto." Xia Tian thought for a while.

"Palo Otto City?!" Long Mayer felt a little surprised.

You should know that Palo Otto is in San Francisco, and it is still far from Los Angeles.

"No, that's right there." Xia Tian nodded. He was going to watch the movie with Zhao Yazhi and his son. After all, he would be back to Hong Kong in a while. At that time, I don't know how many months I will see you.

"Okay." Long Mayer had nodded when he heard this, "By the way, this is the script written by the company's screenwriter department based on your story summary. You can review it and see if it meets the specifications."

Xia Tian nodded, took over the four scripts: "House of Cards", "The Poetry Club of Death", "Silence of the Lambs", and "Meeting the Father-in-law", and started to read them carefully.

"House of Cards" only has the content of the first five episodes, and will be shown to the TV station at that time. If they are interested, they will shoot the pilot episode and will be screened on the TV station at that time. If the response is good, you can sign a contract and order it.

Xia Tian looked carefully and felt that although the script was written differently from "House of Cards" in his previous life, it was not bad. These differences were mainly concentrated in high-tech aspects such as the Internet and mobile phones.

Netflix made "House of Cards" in 1920s and 1923. Internet, smartphones, etc. have become very popular. But if it is only in the 1980s, if those filmed, it will not be a political thriller drama but will be changed to a science fiction drama.

The screenwriter of Columbia Pictures cleverly makes up for these shortcomings. For example, reporter Zoe's previous life was transferred to an Internet media by the major newspaper "The Washington Herald".

But now although the Internet has been born, the Internet media is still basically zero. So the screenwriter set her as the editor-in-chief of a tabloid who specializes in gossiping and privacy. There are many similar changes, but they do not affect the overall situation of the story.

After watching Xia Tian, ​​he nodded with satisfaction, "It's pretty good. I think it should be satisfying those TV stations."

"It will definitely be." Long Mayer said with a smile. He had read the script and also thought it was very good.

"Well, by the way, have the film and television adaptation rights of "The Silence of the Lambs" been taken down?" Xia Tian asked again.
Chapter completed!
