Huayu 97: The Beginning of a Marriage Fraudulently

Chapter 291 Recreating the Glory of Indiana Jones

Leonardo DiCaprio travels to the mysterious ancient country of the East and stages a treasure hunt in the Gobi Desert near Dunhuang!
More than two decades later, Steven Spielberg is directing another fantasy blockbuster!
Can "Dunhuang Code: Light of the Silk Road" recreate the glory of "Indiana Jones"?

Everyone started to look forward to it.

In the eyes of Americans, China has too many mysterious aspects.

Will Leonardo DiCaprio be able to help them unveil the mystery of China this time?

Spielberg hasn't worked overtime on a movie in a long time.

But this time Spielberg was essentially reliving his experience of making "Indiana Jones".

After a lot of hard work, we finally finished "Dunhuang Code: Light of the Silk Road" before Christmas.

Both Universal and Miramax launched a major advertising campaign.

Dunhuang Code: Light of the Silk Road will be going head-to-head with National Treasure 2: The Mysterious Book during the North American Christmas season!

Kung Fu Panda has only recently finished its run, but the kung fu craze continues.

And Liu Yifei, with her added "kung fu" skills, can fulfill all their fantasies!
Leonardo DiCaprio and Liu Yifei began appearing on numerous TV shows to promote their film.

Besides radio programs, performing kung fu has become a staple of Liu Yifei's other shows.

So much so that Liu Yifei always brings her sword with her whenever she appears on a TV show.

Liu Yifei's sword was a gift from You Qingqing. It wasn't a modern replica, but an antique that was quite valuable.

However, since she dared not refuse the gift from her elder, Consort Liu had no choice but to accept it.

Now that Liu Yifei is bringing the sword given to her by You Qingqing to the show, she has also promoted the sword dance.

It is said that You Qingqing's businesses in Chinatown have become very popular as a result.

Riding this wave of kung fu fever, "Dunhuang Code: Light of the Silk Road" premiered in the United States.

The American version of "Dunhuang Code: Light of the Silk Road" is completely in line with the Hollywood film industry model.

The original "Indiana Jones" was about the mysterious Ark of the Covenant.

This time, "Dunhuang Code: The Light of the Silk Road" aims to unravel the secrets of the Dunhuang murals and explore the mysterious treasures of the Silk Road.

The movie became incredibly popular as soon as it was released!

This film, "Dunhuang Code," fulfilled all their previous fantasies.

Leonardo DiCaprio's fans were pleasantly surprised to see a different side of him.

He was an explorer.

He is handsome, brave, and wise!
At the same time, he was also a mysterious art thief.

He is insidious, cunning, and ruthless!
This is an incredibly contradictory character.

This is a character you can both love and hate.

Leonardo DiCaprio has broken free from stereotypical portrayals.

When Leonardo DiCaprio's chase scene in the sandstorm appeared on the big screen, all movie fans went wild!
Leonardo DiCaprio triumphed over the natural disasters of the mysterious ancient Eastern country's Gobi Desert!
Just when fans thought Leonardo DiCaprio would bring the mysterious treasures of the Silk Road back to America.

Little Li, however, experienced a life-or-death ordeal!
It was this major ordeal that made Leonardo DiCaprio change his original ideas.

They begin to join forces with Liu Yifei to fight against the mastermind behind the art thefts.

Liu Yifei, who also appeared on another storyline, did not disappoint kung fu fans.

On the surface, Liu Yifei's character is a scholar.

But in reality, he is a guardian of Dunhuang with mysterious kung fu skills!
Liu Yifei has a lot of action scenes, including fights with poachers, confrontations with antique thieves, and even a showdown with Leonardo DiCaprio!

Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do is crisp, clean, and explosive. Liu Yifei's Kendo, on the other hand, is the most graceful and also the most fierce.

Spielberg knows what kind of kung fu Americans want to see!
After its release, "Dunhuang Code: Light of the Silk Road" received positive reviews from major media outlets and film critics.

Hollywood film critic Jox: The sandstorm chase scene is exceptionally stunning, with realism and tension far exceeding green screen effects. It is "the pinnacle of Hollywood film industry aesthetics"!
The New York Times: Crystal's kung fu combines Eastern grace with sharpness, making it the most elegant art of violence on screen.

The Hollywood Reporter: Leonardo DiCaprio has shed his "pretty boy" image and is now a true tough guy, delivering a mature performance that combines courage and intelligence.

Variety: Crystal redefines the screen image of Eastern female heroes with her dual identity as a scholar and a guardian.

Rolling Stone: Spielberg recreates the adventurous spirit of Indiana Jones, perfectly blending mysterious Eastern culture with Hollywood narrative to create a cross-border fantasy epic.

The Washington Post: "Dunhuang Code: The Light of the Silk Road" has successfully ignited a new wave of kung fu fever and made Dunhuang another mysterious symbol in the hearts of Western audiences.

A well-known box office analysis agency: With Leonardo DiCaprio's box office appeal and Liu Yifei's kung fu charm, "Dunhuang Code: Light of the Silk Road" is expected to become a phenomenal blockbuster of the year.

……

The recognition from film critics and media has also attracted more movie fans to go to the cinema to see it for themselves.

And they were not disappointed.

Zhang Yimou's Eastern aesthetics combined with Spielberg's epic style make movie fans unable to resist!

"Dunhuang Code: Light of the Silk Road" had a very strong opening weekend at the North American box office.

However, Nicolas Cage's "National Treasure 2: The Mysterious Book" should not be underestimated either.

In addition, Will Smith's "Legends of the End of the World" is also making a strong showing.

The entire North American film market was thrown into chaos because of these three films.

With the Three Kingdoms in a state of equilibrium, other films released at the same time became cannon fodder.

On its opening day, "Dunhuang Code: The Light of the Silk Road" topped the box office, surpassing "National Treasure 2: The Mysterious Book" and "Legends of the End of the World".

Leonardo DiCaprio's fans have shown tremendous fighting spirit!

Leonardo DiCaprio's box office appeal goes far beyond the 2000 million club!

However, Nicolas Cage and Will Smith are, after all, veteran actors.

Their National Treasure 2: The Mysterious Book and The Last Days are not made of clay.

The following day, "National Treasure 2: The Mysterious Book," a film with the same theme, surpassed "Dunhuang Code: The Light of the Silk Road" at the daily box office by a narrow margin.

However, "Dunhuang Code: Light of the Silk Road" still leads in cumulative box office.

Just when people thought this Christmas season would be a battle between two adventure films.

Will Smith is on fire!

"Legends of the End of the World" made a strong comeback and surprisingly topped the box office on its third day.

Just then, Chinese groups in the United States began to challenge the box office of "Dunhuang Code: Light of the Silk Road"!
Many smaller, lower-tier cinemas have been able to book entire theaters.

They showed Americans what it means to surround the cities from the countryside!

The box office of "Dunhuang Code: Light of the Silk Road" has surged!

National Treasure 2: The Mysterious Book has grossed $1.2 million in North America in just two weeks.

Two weeks after its release, "Legends of the End" surpassed "National Treasure 2: The Mysterious Book" to gross $1.7 million in North America.

And the box office figures for "Dunhuang Code: Light of the Silk Road" in its first two weeks were...!
