Superstars In Parallel Time and Space

  Chapter 699 Strong opponent

   "No, Chen Mubai chose to be screened on the 6th!?"

   "Damn, this is a bit sturdy, isn't he afraid of "Monsters 2"?"

   "Is this accidental or intentional?"

   "I watched the trailer for "Infernal Affairs" and I think it's pretty good, but I have been waiting for "Monsters 2" for a year. The two movies are released on the same day. It's really hard for me."

   "It feels like Chen Mubai is a bit irrational. It was released on the same day as "Monster 2". Will this box office be suppressed?"

   "Brothers, support a wave of Chen Mubai. He is one of the few directors and stars in China who speaks from works."

  "I admire his courage, but I always feel it will be miserable"

  Netizens have affirmed after watching the trailer of "Infernal Affairs", but it is amazing to think that the release date is the same day as "Monster 2".

  The heat of this matter is getting bigger and bigger, and many people are guessing why Chen Mubai did it.

  Some people say that because of his swelling, he will not put foreign blockbusters in his eyes.

  Some people also said that he did this deliberately, in order to let everyone know that the quality of Chinese movies is not worse than foreign movies, and wants to arouse the blood of the film and television industry!

  After all, over the past few years, everyone has been afraid of foreign blockbusters. If they can hide, they will never compete with them at the same time.

  Be timid before fighting, this is the psychology of China Films when encountering foreign blockbusters.

  Generally speaking, foreign blockbusters have high investment and good special effects. Even if they are action movies, the scenes are also very popular. In addition, they are facing the global market and the probability of cost recovery is also high.

  Hua Xia movies are basically developed locally, and it is difficult to recoup the cost with too much investment. Therefore, the gaps in the reputation and special effects of actors have appeared. It is indeed difficult for China Films to compete with foreign blockbusters.

  Chen Mubai is one of the most successful filmmakers in the past two years. If he wants to change this problem, he must face foreign blockbusters and let everyone see hope.

  However, this interpretation is more considered by netizens to be the wishful thinking of Chen Mubai’s fans. They do not believe that Chen Mubai has such a tall feeling.

  As for the reasons for doing this, there are various arguments. Amidst the discussion, time passes quietly.

  Time soon came to July 5.

  You can see the new movie being released tonight, everyone is looking forward to it.

  During the day, there was a discussion about which movie to watch.

   "Which movie to watch today, brothers!"

  "I will support "Infernal Affairs" and Chen Mubai!"

   "It must be "Infernal Affairs", I still need to think about it, support domestic production!"

  "Why do you still have nationality when watching a movie? Can you just watch whatever genre you like?"

   "Yes, I like watching foreign blockbuster movies. The special effects are realistic, especially the special effects of the "Monsters" series have always been top-notch. This is really a visual feast, no one doesn't like watching it, right?"

“Going to the cinema is just for enjoyment. It’s really cool to watch special effects movies. Movies like "Infernal Affairs" actually have the same effect on the website, but there is still a big gap between watching special effects movies on the Internet and watching the 3D effects in the cinema. ."

   "I believe that "Infernal Affairs" is not necessarily worse than "Monsters 2". I will support Chen Mubai, and several of the stars in this movie are my favorite stars. There are so many stars. You must support it!"

  ". Does this still need to be discussed? Can I just watch both of them?"

  These days, the "Infernal Affairs" crew has very intensive publicity activities, just to increase the influence of the film.

  Everyone knows that their number one opponent "Monster 2" will definitely have a strong influence on them, and they can only increase their propaganda efforts to reduce their influence.

The main creators such as Chen Mubai and Liang Wei rushed around the mainland, Taiwan, and the mainland for publicity. "Monsters 2" is an international blockbuster, and the leading actors are all internationally renowned stars, coupled with the reputation of the front seat, the number of people discussing is very large, and the series of movies There are also many fans, and the topic is very high.

  "Monsters 2" was first released abroad. It has a good reputation, and the special effects are still worthy of praise. After watching it, many people gave a good evaluation.

  The foreign box office results are also very good, and these news have been sent back to China, and the major media have reported relevant information about the film.

  Compared with the quality of an unknown "Infernal Affairs", the quality of "Monsters 2" has come out.

  Although it is not very high-quality, it can be regarded as a qualified popcorn movie. Moreover, this kind of movie itself is a special effect, and the storyline is relatively simple. It does not require much thinking, and it is a refreshing look.

  All members of the "Monster 2" crew came to Huaxia and started to promote the film, but they only went to a few important occasions and did not promote it too frequently.

After all,    is an internationally renowned movie star, and the movie is also a big production. It is full of appeal. A few conferences are enough. If there are too many publicity sessions, it will lose shares.

  This is forced, famous and popular, that's it.

  The "Infernal Affairs" crew is a large-scale publicity, after all, they are inferior to "Monsters 2" in any way, so naturally they will not have the same confidence as them.

  They face such a powerful opponent and try their best to seize every opportunity.

  Liang Wei and others are also under great pressure. This is the first time they have faced such a powerful opponent.

  They really did not expect that Chen Mubai would choose to be released on this date, and they did not expect that Luo Fan and others would agree, it was a miracle!

   But while he was frightened, there was excitement in his heart. What if he won?

The chance of    is small, but not impossible.

  They still have a little expectation in their hearts, and Luo Fan and others have also hinted to them that the quality of the movie is excellent, which gives them a lot of confidence.

  So, they are also doing their best to promote this movie.

  In case, really won the "Monsters 2", they are also the first to dare to be released on the same day with a foreign blockbuster, and beat the opponent in a head-on confrontation!

  This will become a glory and a record.

  ……

   "Xiaoxiao, let's rest in the morning tomorrow, and go out to play in the afternoon." The roommate said to Zhao Xiaoxiao.

   "Well, let's go to the premiere of "Infernal Affairs". I have been waiting for this movie for a long time!" Zhao Xiaoxiao said happily.

  This summer, Zhao Xiaoxiao did not go home, but chose to travel with her roommate.

  They have arranged their daily itinerary, which is planned before departure.

  However, they deliberately squeezed out a long time to rest because they were going to watch the premiere of the new movie of their idol Chen Mubai.

The premiere is at 12 o'clock in the morning, after watching the movie, it will be more than 2 o'clock, and it takes more than 3 o'clock to go back to wash up. It is not realistic to get up early the next day and go out to play. play.

  The time spent traveling every day is very important. After all, there are only a few days to play, but for them, it is more important to support Chen Mubai’s work in the first place!

  So, they would rather choose to rest for a long time, or look for a movie theater to watch a movie when they are out, which shows how much they like Chen Mubai!

  There are many iron fans like this. They are all moved by Chen Mubai's personal charm and then fall in love with him.

  After all, Chen Mubai is too good, looks handsome, treats fans kindly, does not have a shelf, and is very fond of fans. Fans will basically do their best to fulfill their requirements, just like listening to his songs at a concert, he will be satisfied.

  Who doesn’t like an idol like this?

  Of course, it is also worthy of everyone to like.

  "Do you think Chen Mubai will win?" asked the roommate.

   "Yes!" Zhao Xiaoxiao nodded as expected.

   "But the opponent is "Monster 2"!"

   "That too!"

  The roommate hesitated and said: "Actually, I want to watch "Monster 2" first."

  She saw the first step of this movie and was very impressed with the monsters in it. When she knew the time when 2 was released, she was ready to watch it.

  I just didn’t expect to be on the same day as the movie "Infernal Affairs", which made her a little uncomfortable.

  "We will look at it later when we go back. It must be a work that supports Chen Mubai at the moment!" Zhao Xiaoxiao said.

   "Actually, I am interested in these two movies during the summer vacation~"

  They will go back next week, so they missed a crucial week at the box office.

  Zhao Xiaoxiao doesn't want to contribute to the box office to the other party at this time, the subsequent impact will not be that big.

   "Hmm!" The roommate nodded heavily.

  ……

   "Xiaoya, I'm back."

  Sun Dong opened the door, entered the room and shouted.

   "Ah!" A surprised female voice came from the house: "Why did you come back so early today!?"

  Usually, Sun Dong had to work overtime until after 8 o'clock to get off work, but he came back at 6 o'clock today, which is abnormal!

   "Let's go out for dinner today." Sun Dong came to the girl, stroked her hair and smiled.

  The girl's name is Zhao Ya, who is his blind date at the beginning of the year.

  Their feelings have heated up rapidly in the past few months. Zhao Ya came to the city where Sun Dong worked to fight together. The two liked each other very much and regarded him as the object of marriage.

  "Why do you want to eat out?" Zhao Ya was puzzled.

   "I bought two movie tickets. Today is the day when Chen Mubai's new movie is released." Sun Dong took out his mobile phone and showed Zhao Ya the completed movie tickets.

   "Ah!" Zhao Ya exclaimed.

   "So, I rushed back early, let's eat together, then go shopping, and then watch a movie."

  Sun Dong took Zhao Ya’s hand and said softly: “I don’t usually have much time to accompany you. Finally, when Chen Mubai’s movie is released, I want to watch it with you.”

  Both of them liked Chen Mubai very much, and it was also because of watching his movies that they became acquainted with each other. Chen Mubai’s movies have a special meaning to them.

   "Hmm." Zhao Ya agreed with Sun Dong's happiness.

  ……

  The premiere ceremony is still in the largest movie theater in the city, with shining stars.

  The main creators of "Infernal Affairs" were all here, and everyone attended the ceremony together.

  This premiere is the largest ever held by Mubai Entertainment. After all, there are many actors and well-known stars in this movie, which is very different from the previous ones.

  In the past, the artists were their own artists, and the famous ones were Chen Mubai and Tao Yaoyao.

  It’s different this time. It’s all celebrities, so this premiere ceremony is naturally much more grand.

  There are a lot of media reporters coming to the scene, as well as many film and television practitioners, film critics and so on.

  They are mainly because of Chen Mubai's bold decision to compete on the same stage as "Monsters 2", so they want to watch the movie as soon as possible, go back to write related news publications, and gain traffic.

  They will watch both movies. As for watching "Infernal Affairs" for the first time, they also have the meaning of supporting Chen Mubai in their hearts.

  In their hearts, they also hope that Chen Mubai can beat each other and can compete with You Rongyan.

  After a brief hustle and bustle, the creative staff began to take their seats, and everyone began to enjoy the movie.

  Before the official screening, the creators of "Infernal Affairs" were very confident in the film, especially Liang Wei and others, who praised the film outspokenly.

  The sincere expression and tone on his face did not seem to be fake. He even said that this may be the most exciting undercover film he has ever shot, and he is very fortunate to be able to participate in it.

  Liang Wei is a well-known film and television superstar in China. His words are very important. With such a high evaluation, it can be seen that the film is excellent.

  Liang Wei is not aimless. He watched the whole film during the filming meeting, so he made this comment.

  The premiere is full of people. This is for sure. Many people also hope to see the main creative team on site.

At the same time, the rest of the hall was basically full of people. After all, as the largest movie theater in the city, the news of the premiere of "Infernal Affairs" is known here, and many people prefer it as a movie viewing location. If you are lucky, you can still see Chen Mubai!

  Everyone started watching movies with high expectations.

  Except here, the rest of the movie theaters have a large number of people. After all, it is summer vacation. Many students are on vacation and they have time to watch movies.

  "Monster 2" ranks first with 41% of the filming rate. In the eyes of major theaters, this is a movie that must make money, so the filming rate is naturally high.

  Who would have trouble with money?

  "Infernal Affairs" took the second place with 26% of the films, and the rest of the films were arranged.

  Today’s two films premiered, the lineup will naturally be higher. The box office of the first few days of the film is also the highest time. At this time, the more films lined up, the higher the box office.

  Compared with "Monsters 2", "Infernal Affairs" does not have a high rate of filming, but compared to other movies, it is already a very high filming rate!

  Many of the remaining movies are only released in June or even the middle of June, but because of the strong attack of these two movies, the schedule has been cut a lot!

  This also means that the theaters are optimistic about these two films. Combined with the topic and popularity of the current Internet, these two films are indeed the highest, much higher than other works.

  In terms of investment, production lineup, and cast, these two dramas are actually the top summer works and the most watched movies.

  It’s just a pity that the two movies were released on the same day, which means that a planet hits the earth.

   Judging from the box office of the movie’s pre-sale, "Monster 2" currently has more than tens of millions of box office results of "Infernal Affairs"!

  There are more people watching movies in the movie theater than in Infernal Affairs, and the attendance rate is almost the same. However, there are more movies in the “Monster 2”, so naturally the number of people watching it will increase.

  Chen Mubai has many iron fans, but many people came to support him during the premiere.

  So, although the box office is not as good as "Monsters 2," the gap is not as bad as expected.

  After everyone entered the theater, they found their seats, sat down, ate popcorn and drank Coke, and then waited for "Infernal Affairs" to start playing.
