Rebirth: I Want to Surf

boom!

One shot crippled the protagonist's arm, followed by random shots, the protagonist ran away with his head in his arms, and the sperm daughter would just stand by and scream.

The boyfriend continued to chase, and at this critical juncture, Wu Jing slapped him hard with a whip.

Zhang Jin followed up with another two hits, bang bang!

The boyfriend was beaten like a sandbag, his neck was bent at an incredible angle, and he slipped limply to the ground.

"Ahhhh!"

The eldest daughter continued to act like an idiot, screaming and running over.

The protagonist got up, with a look of disbelief on his face: "Do you know kung fu?"

"What's so strange about our kung fu?"

"Why haven't I seen you show it?"

"..."

Zhang Jin and Wu Jing looked at each other, as if puzzled, shrugged: "I usually break the law."

"Ha ha!"

The audience burst into laughter, and Milner also laughed, and there was a very subtle and indescribable feeling.

The killing day has already begun. The protagonist and his wife invite the two of them to stay to avoid danger. They say it is to avoid danger, but in fact they also mean to protect themselves, but they are rejected.

"Sorry, but of course you have to be with your family on this kind of day."

"Yeah, my wife is still cooking soup."

Zhang Jin and Wu Jing went out, and the protagonist looked over from the surveillance camera, they knocked over a few old white men with guns, got in the car and drove away.

Milner didn't care much about the next plot.

He has been thinking about the significance of the appearance of these two Chinese actors. First of all, the lines of "breaking the law at ordinary times", "going with family" and "cooking soup" are very in line with the "stereotype" of Chinese people.

However, what these two people did was not what those Chinese-American characters did in the past.

And their roles are still very short, and they leave after showing off, just like the hidden masters in traditional Chinese stories, who take off their clothes and hide their achievements and fame.

This kind of artistic conception can also be understood by Westerners, and there is no cultural barrier - there are many similar characters in cowboy films.

As a result, an effect was created, and the audience was extremely impressed with these two people!

And the idiot-like older daughter, the idiot-like younger son, the protagonist who is more wronged than Dou E, the wife who is like a virgin, and the righteous black man...

"Interesting, very interesting!"

The more Milner thought about it, the more interesting it became, and he seemed to have caught Yao Yuan's train of thought.

For example, in Hollywood movies, there are two conventional villains, one is the German remnant and the other is the Soviet Union/Russia. Hollywood is used to filming this way, and people all over the world are also used to seeing it this way.

Later, there were fewer Russian villains, and the Chinese villains sneaked up.

Why do you say sneaky?

Because the Chinese market is huge, those works that will not be released in the Chinese market usually engage in such small tricks.

And Yao Yuan wants to make a video website for overseas, and release different works in different countries. If they are all filmed like "Human Purge Project", then it will be very interesting.

"What a terrible movie, it completely failed my expectations!"

"I think it's great. Kill people casually for 12 hours without breaking the law. Wow, cool!"

"I hope that such a decree really comes, I can use my father's gun, and I will be the first to kill the annoying Jason!"

"I want to kill Jason too, but I'll kill my shitty daddy first."

In the aftertaste full of happy education, Milner walked out of the movie theater and went to eat alone, thinking about these things while eating.

Holding the investment properties of Russian oligarchs, he is looking for projects all over the world. The United States is the capital base. Where can he find himself? Investing in Facebook last year was to pick up the leak of the financial crisis.

So his current focus is on Europe, but the European market is too small.

"..."

Milner was eating, and suddenly looked to the east. It seemed that he had to go there for a while. There was a huge market full of vitality over there.

...

"The Purge" is distributed by Logue Pictures and Lionsgate.

Arranged 2,536 theaters in the mid-range scale. Three days after the first weekend, the results came out, which surprised everyone: the single-house score was as high as 14,345 US dollars, and the total box office was 36.37 million US dollars!

The cost of this film is only 3 million!

"There are flaws, but more fun are the surprises!"

"The problem with this kind of high-concept film is that you make up a good-looking setting and shoot a bunch of crap!"

"It's one of those films that relies entirely on crappy music and jumpy editing, but never actually scares the audience, with pale characters, clumsy twists and few surprises."

The film critics criticized it unceremoniously, with an IMDB score of 5.7.

So why is the box office not bad?

Because it hits a part of the movie-watching group, it doesn't need everyone to like it, a part is enough. No matter how bad "Little Times" is, it can't stand up to the 1.7 billion box office of its four films.

The employees of Logue Films cheered and celebrated, the world is impermanent.

They thought that they would lose their jobs again soon, and the small broken company went bankrupt, but they didn't expect the first movie to be a success. Not only that, "Human Purge Project" is very suitable for sequels, TV series, and IP development.

An IP is equivalent to an iron rice bowl, which can last for a long time.

When the data was sent back to China, Yu Jiajia of course hyped it up.

"It's a good start to enter Hollywood, and the box office of the first work is close to 100 million U.S. dollars!"

"Wu Jing and Zhang Jin made stunning appearances, and they ranked first in audience surveys!"

"99 Entertainment successfully landed in Hollywood!"

The country is also very excited. This is not a Chinese film such as "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "Hero", but an English film controlled by a Chinese company. The meaning is completely different.

Especially when "Avatar" was surging in the mainland, the success of "Human Purge Project" seemed to let everyone see another possibility.

That is: Capital enters Hollywood.

In 2012, Wanda will acquire the American AMC theater company, and in 2016, it will acquire Legendary Pictures, and then create a big sweet universe.

Alas, poor Big Sweet!

…………

Beijing, the airport.

This year's New Year's Eve falls in February, and January is a busy time, with passengers coming and going filling up the Capital Airport. In the parking area outside, Yao Yuan was yawning in his Bentley.

Yinyin was in high spirits yesterday and didn't sleep well.

The average woman is not too tired to walk around the street for three hours, but she will complain that her legs are weak after sitting on it for three minutes.

Yin Yin is just the opposite.

"ha!"

He touched his 30-year-old waist, hey, I don’t remember this, I’m already 30 years old. In Li Zhinian, such a large family business did not embarrass the reborn.

"Out!"

Xiao Mo suddenly said.

Yao Yuan took a look, Cheng Wei ushered a bald foreigner out, it was Milner.

"Yao!"

"haven't seen you for a long time!"

"Thank you for coming to pick me up in person."

Yao Yuan got out of the car and shook hands, and several people got in the car. Today's Bentley is dispatched, which already shows the importance he attaches to Milner.

"Go to the hotel first, and I will arrange the dinner. Tomorrow, I will visit the Forbidden City, the Old Summer Palace, the authentic alleys of the old BJ, try soybean juice, marinated stew, and the nine-turn large intestine..."

"Yao! Yao!"

Milner stopped him and said, "We'd better talk about things first."

"Oh, don't worry, you have to stay for a while this time, I have time to talk."

(no more...)
