Rebirth of the Thousand-Faced Movie King

Sometimes, opening it in the wrong way can really have a big impact on something.

Such as heroes.

The video is still the original video.

The director is still the same director.

But before.

If the publicity is focused on Zhang Yi, or for better publicity, the publicity should be focused on the five leading actors.

So.

In the eyes of some foreigners, Hero is a movie from China.

But in their impression.

Movies from China?

Can the Chinese make movies?

It would be okay if this was set in the 1980s.

Xiangjiang movies in the 1980s still had some influence in the world.

But.

At this time, Chinese films have no impression in the eyes of countless new generation movie fans.

In their memory, they have never seen any movie about China.

Even if it's Chen Long's movie, Chen Long came to Hollywood to film it.

But open it another way.

At this time, the focus of publicity was on the two words Chen Ping, but everything was completely different.

No.

When many people walked into the cinema and saw Chen Ping on the poster, their eyes suddenly lit up.

"Hey, isn't this the Elf Prince?"

"Elf Prince, Chen...his new movie?"

"Looks pretty good."

There were five starring roles in the previous poster.

Although Chen Ping was also inside, he didn't really notice much unless he looked carefully.

but now.

Chen Ping was left alone. In an instant, everyone discovered Chen Ping's existence.

certainly.

Chen Ping alone does not have such great influence.

But who told Chen Ping to play the elf prince in Lord of the Rings?

I have to say that The Lord of the Rings has had such a huge impact... This is an epic masterpiece.

At this time, Chen Ping, who plays the role of the elf prince, has a new film, which has attracted some viewers.

Especially those friends who are obsessed with Chen Ping's appearance.

When they saw Chen Ping's new film, they didn't say anything. They bought tickets and watched it first before talking.

This look.

It is different from the previous evaluations of many people.

If many movie fans felt that Hero could not understand it before.

So.

At this time, they are the fans who came to watch Chen Ping.

Although the heroes don't understand them very well either.

But this is not the case.

If I don’t understand, isn’t there something else I can look at?

Such as the picture.

"Wow, this picture is so beautiful."

“It’s so beautiful.”

Such as fighting.

"There can be fighting on the lake. It's very magical."

"It feels incredible, but it looks interesting."

"It's also shocking."

certainly.

There are also more shocking ones.

For example, in Heroes, the Qin army attacks the city.

Thousands of arrows were fired into Zhao's academy like a rain of arrows.

This level of modern contact also shocked many onlookers.

"Oh, God, if we had encountered such a force, would we have died?"

"Don't worry, I'm totally done with it."

"I feel so too."

finally.

After two hours, it ended amidst the shock of the fans.

"Recommended, highly recommended hero."

"I also recommend it. The new drama Prince of the Elf is so good."

"I almost missed this drama, but luckily I found out that it was played by Chen Ping, and I was not disappointed."

…

"10 million, Director Zhang, our box office that week actually reached 10 million US dollars."

Hero investor Mr. Liu called Zhang Yimou with great excitement: "I can't believe it, I really can't believe it."

"Director Zhang, you know, according to this trend, our publisher said that our hero can definitely make a lot of money."

In fact.

It’s not just North America.

The same goes for Europe.

After they found the right way to open the hero, the viewing experience was completely different from the original.

I don’t know where those previous negative reviews and previous negative reviews have gone.

Anyway, everyone who entered the cinema was shocked by this film.

influenced by.

A series of others who had not watched the film before also entered the cinema.

At the same time.

The box office of Hero has also soared in North America.

$15 million.

$20 million.

$30 million.

Hero became the top box office hit in North America for the week.

$40 million.

$50 million.

Hero won the North American box office title for the second time.

As good news comes one after another.

A hero, but he instantly became popular all over the world.

even.

At this time, there was a big discussion going on abroad.

This big discussion is: "What if Alexander continues his eastern expedition and encounters the Qin Kingdom?"

This question was raised by some viewers at the time when they saw how powerful Qin's military force was.

As soon as this question came up, countless viewers, netizens, and scholars joined the discussion.

Because this topic is very interesting first of all.

Alexander can be said to be the most powerful monarch in Europe. The Alexander Empire he established swept almost the entire Europe.

It even reached Asia.

At that time, Alexander also wanted to attack China, and they actually did so.

But later he took the wrong road and ended up in India.

So.

Here comes the problem.

What would happen if Alexander, after conquering India, continued his eastward expedition and reached China?

first.

To clarify this issue, we must first understand the time at that time.

After Alexander attacked India, the earliest time he arrived in China should be around 325 BC.

At that time, the first person he faced was Qin.

At this time, the Qin State had just undergone Shang Yang's Reform, and its economy and national strength were unprecedentedly strong.

At that time, the Qin soldiers who ruled the country by law could be regarded as the most terrifying force.

Alexander really didn't have much chance of winning if he attacked Qin at this time.

second.

From a logistics and supply perspective.

When Alexander came to Qin during the Warring States Period, the battle line was too long and he had no advantage at all.

First, from the perspective of military strength.

At that time, Alexander only had 50,000 men, which was already the most powerful army in Europe.

But in China.

Not to mention the Qin State, even the other warring states princes had hundreds of thousands of people.

Not to mention how they fought.

In the age of cold weapons, between hundreds of thousands and tens of thousands, who do you think will win and who will lose?

Second, from the perspective of equipment.

At that time, China's metallurgical technology was already very advanced. It had various offensive weapons and also used iron weapons.

In addition, weapons such as crossbows and catapults were also used on a large scale on the battlefield. This was simply fatal to Alexander's soldiers, who were good at infantry and light cavalry. Another thing is that the Macedonian cavalry did not have saddles at that time, which had strict restrictions on the stability and impact capabilities of the cavalry. However, the saddles in China at that time had been used for who knows how many years.

Fifth: From the perspective of combat level.

During the Warring States Period, every country basically fought a small war every year and a big war every three years. It was almost a big war.

I have never seen their formation before.

Naturally, in such a big battle, not only the quality of soldiers was cultivated, but also countless super generals were cultivated.

Wu Qi, Sun Wu, Sun Bin, Wang Jian, Li Mu, Lian Po, Le Yi, Bai Qi...each one of them is a God of War figure in the army.

Especially Bai Qi.

If you really want to meet Bai Qi, haha... I can trap and kill 400,000 Zhao soldiers, let alone your 50,000 Macedonian soldiers.

sixth.

Even Alexander took a detour and did not go east.

If you walk from the south, you will directly encounter the State of Chu.

The strength of Chu State at that time was also terrifying.

If you go from the sea, you will encounter the state of Qi.

Qi State had no problem in dealing with Alexander.

If you come from the north, you will directly encounter the Huns and the Zhao Kingdom, and they will be wiped out.

Final summary.

If Alexander really continued to run to China at that time, then each of the seven heroes of the Warring States Period could teach Alexander how to behave in minutes.

No.

Not to mention Qixiong.

Even for some small countries during the Warring States Period, Alexander might not be his opponent.

When these analyzes appeared, the onlookers were completely dumbfounded:

"Holy shit, I thought Alexander was the best. I didn't expect that he would be a scumbag if he really went to China."

"It's a bit excessive to call him a scumbag, but he really can only seek death."

"So, let me tell you, it is not the United States that truly dominates the world, but China. Because China has dominated the world for more than 2,000 years, while the United States has only been dominant for less than 200 years."

"Alexander didn't even reach China, and Genghis Khan during China's Yuan Dynasty almost regarded Europe as their back garden."

"Uh... did Genghis Khan reach Europe? Damn it, is it true or false?"

"You can find out if you check the history."

Check this.

Countless viewers burst into tears.

It really is.

Compared with ancient China, even their most glorious existence was dregs compared to ancient China.

"I'm becoming more and more interested in China now."

"Me too. After watching Heroes, I now want to study Chinese history crazily."

"I'm wondering why the Ming Dynasty has disappeared among the four ancient civilizations."

"Yes. Although China has declined in modern times, look at it, it is now rising again."

With such interest.

With such research.

Originally, everyone just watched the movie Heroes, but unexpectedly, it sparked a Chinese craze.

And finally.

Under the influence of such popularity, Hero's overseas box office has successfully exceeded US$200 million.

Converted into RMB, that is 1.6 billion RMB.

Plus 370 million yuan from the mainland.

That’s 2 billion box office.

…

[Heroic ending, global box office exceeded 2 billion. 】

[Chinese blockbusters go global. 】

[Zhang Yimou was awarded the best director in China. 】

Faced with such horrific box office data.

This almost shocked countless viewers.

It also shocked the entire hero team.

"2000000000."

"It's really 2 billion."

Staring at the box office data, Zhang Yimou finally came to his senses for a while.

For the past few days, he felt as if he was dreaming.

Even now, he felt a little unreal.

Think about it, the hero was overseas at that time, and the box office flop was terrible.

And now.

The hero became the biggest winner.

but.

I really want to say it.

This feeling of ice and fire is really exciting.

"Chen Ping, I have to toast you."

"Director Zhang, I respect you."

"No, I have to toast you with this glass of wine. If it weren't for you, our hero wouldn't have the box office it does now."

Zhang Yimou spoke from his heart.

The biggest contributor to Hero's box office revenue of 2 billion is Chen Ping.

If it weren't for Chen Ping.

The hero will probably have to hit the streets.

"Chen Ping, I have to toast you too."

At this time.

Mr. Liu, the investor, also came over with a toast: "You know, I was prepared to lose money at that time. Chen Ping, I really have you."

In one breath, Mr. Liu finished it directly.

With Hero's 2 billion box office, he is undoubtedly the happiest person.

after all.

Whether it's the director or Chen Ping, they can earn some fame at most.

But fame is a very empty thing for him.

He was the only one who made a fortune in real money.

but.

Although he has made a lot of money, Mr. Liu is not a stingy person.

After the celebration banquet, Mr. Liu gave a big red envelope to Zhang Yi, Maggie Cheung, Liang Chaowei and other leading actors.

And for Chen Ping.

His red envelope was even bigger.

…

"Mr. Chen, the Hollywood WMA agent wants to talk to you about signing a contract. They have lowered their previous requirements and can lower the contract period to 4 years."

"In four years, I'd better hang around in China."

Chen Ping shook his head.

He knew that after his performance in "Hero", a number of Hollywood agencies would launch a new round of signings for Chen Ping.

However, Chen Ping refused the WMA's request.

Although Chen Ping knew that they had already made a lot of concessions.

But Chen Ping knew better.

It's not just the WMA that can contact him.

The next day.

After WMA, ICM brokerage company also contacted Chen Ping.

Their signing conditions were further lowered to only three years.

The three-year period can be said to be very short.

This is something only A-listers can get in Hollywood.

But Chen Ping still refused.

The third day.

Another brokerage company communicated with Chen Ping.

This time, the terms they gave were two years.

But Chen Ping still refused.

The fourth day.

UTA contacted Chen Ping and they extended the signing conditions to one year.

only.

When Chen Ping saw the 10 movies they had arranged for him within a year, Chen Ping also refused.

Although one year is short, looking at them, they almost regard Chen Ping as a tool to make money.

It's not like Chen Ping has no chance to act, he is not in a hurry to act.

For him now, he prefers to play dramas that interest him or challenge him.

and.

Chen Ping knows.

I am absolutely extremely attractive to these Hollywood agencies.

As for the reason.

The Lord of the Rings and Heroes are Chen Ping’s capital.

The Elf Prince played by Chen Ping in The Lord of the Rings made him famous in Hollywood.

hero.

It also made Chen Ping's potential known to the public.

Just imagine.

A movie that is about to hit the streets just because of a change in promotion strategy.

From the original promotion of the film and director, to the promotion of Chen Ping alone...

In an instant, this led to the rise of heroes at the box office.

not to mention.

Hero is also the first film from China to achieve great success in Hollywood and around the world.

What if resources were given to Chen Ping at this time to star in a bigger and more popular movie?

What do you think will happen?

Hollywood agencies are all very good at settling accounts.

Otherwise, they would not contact Chen Ping again and again.

so.

Chen Ping has plenty of time.

He believed it too.

These Hollywood companies will definitely give him conditions that satisfy him.

but.

Chen Ping would not just sit around and wait.

Because right now, there is a highly anticipated film waiting for Chen Ping to promote it.

This film is exactly what Chen Ping had finished filming before: "My Love from the Star".

Yes.

Chen Ping's version, Professor Dou... is about to appear.
