Huayu: Everyone's been reborn, who's still going to be an actor?

Chapter 128 Explosion! ??(26/40)

What is the most terrifying nightmare for parents?

Perhaps it was hearing her daughter's desperate cries for help on the other end of the phone, while she was powerless to rescue her, forced to endure the terrifying thought that she might never see her again.

The film continues, and what follows is a father's perilous journey of rescuing his daughter from danger alone within 96 hours.

This action version is an upgrade from the original.

Although the action style has changed, it is just as exciting as, or even more exciting than, any of Cheng Lung's previous films.

Excellent action actors, explosive chase scenes, and realistic gunfights...

Chenglong's change of style was refreshing for everyone.

The story is tightly plotted with interconnected events, the emotions are expressed deeply and delicately, and the portrayal of family affection is touching and subtle.

The dozens of hours of rescue time create a sense of urgency.

This inevitably requires a combination of intelligence, courage, and strategy to discover and track clues in the shortest possible time, remove all obstacles, defeat all evil forces, and snatch food from the tiger's mouth.

"Bang!"

A gunshot rang out, and the character played by Zhou Yun was shot. This scene shocked countless people.

This was completely unexpected.

Not only was Jiang Wen, who made a cameo appearance as a "friend," stunned, but everyone attending the premiere was also stunned.

But I quickly realized that this made sense.

Time is of the essence; there's no time to play the emotional card.

Get the news as quickly as possible and rescue your daughter.

While most action movies appeal to men, this film also won over female audiences, making it suitable for both genders.

This shot played an indispensable role.

Who wouldn't want a dad like that?

The story itself is somewhat cliché: a lone hero, resourceful and agile, infiltrates the enemy's lair and captures them all. However, the inclusion of an emotional core and the establishment of character relationships give the film a fresh feel. It not only provides thrilling and explosive action scenes to feast your eyes on, but also subtle, delicate, and understated emotional scenes to stir your heart.

This may be the key to the film's success.

Cheng Yuan's adaptation focuses on the action sequences, while the rest largely follows the original.

Of course, some localization was definitely done.

"The plot is cliché, but the action is good; Chenglong has actually changed his action style."

Zhang Weiping pursed his lips and said something, but Zhang Yimou frowned.

Cheng Yuan couldn't possibly be incapable of writing a complex plot; such a clichéd plot must have been intentional on his part.

This movie has a very Hollywood feel to it.

It's definitely not worse than similar Hollywood movies, and it might even be better.

He couldn't help but think how wonderful it would be if his own daughter could be as powerful and decisive as the protagonist when she encountered danger.

After the premiere, Cheng Yuan hosted a banquet to thank some of the people who made cameo appearances in "My Love from the Star".

Cheng Yuan was truly drunk this time, and he didn't even know how he got home.

When I woke up the next day, my head was throbbing.

"You didn't go back?"

Cheng Yuan was somewhat surprised to see Liu Yifei when he woke up.

"How can I go back in this state?" Liu Yifei said. "Go wash up. I just asked Xiao Tang to buy some breakfast."

Xiao Tang is Liu Yifei's assistant, so Cheng Yuan is naturally familiar with her.

"You didn't go home last night, did your mom say anything?"

Cheng Yuan couldn't help but ask a question.

He still feels a bit timid when he sees Liu Xiaoli, for no apparent reason.

"You were so drunk last night, my mom asked me to come back and take care of you," Liu Yifei said. "Oh, she said you should drink less in the future."

Is my mother-in-law really that good?

Wait, why is my future mother-in-law so nice to me?

Flattered.

"Would you like to move in and take care of me?"

Cheng Yuan smiled and looked at Liu Yifei.

"No way," Liu Yifei said. "I'm not good at taking care of people. Yang Yi had to help you in last night. You were so drunk you were like a log. I couldn't lift you up."

"Sigh, I really shouldn't have drunk so much," Cheng Yuan sighed. "What a great opportunity."

"What opportunity?"

Liu Yifei looked at Cheng Yuan with a puzzled expression, but Cheng Yuan didn't say anything. He left her with a meaningful remark for her to ponder, and then went to wash up.

and many more!

Cheng Yuan had just turned around when he suddenly remembered a question:

Could it be that my future mother-in-law trusts her daughter to take care of me because I'm so drunk I'm completely unconscious?

Doesn't she know that there's a time when one sobers up after being drunk?

Taken has been released, but the promotion is clearly not over yet.

However, most of the time he needed to run around with Liu Yifei and others.

Cheng Lung is busy filming "The Forbidden Kingdom," and he also needs to do some overseas promotion.

The film was released and received extremely positive reviews.

Although some film critics and media outlets have said that the plot of this movie is old-fashioned and that Cheng Yuan's screenwriting is subpar.

However, it is extremely popular with movie fans.

The most common comment online is "Hollywood blockbuster quality".

That's enough.

Hollywood is indeed amazing now; it's the absolute global benchmark in the commercial film industry.

This is not a denigration of the quality of Hollywood blockbusters, but rather an extremely high compliment.

The reviews for Taken were excellent overall, but what about the box office?

The statistics for the first day were quickly compiled.

1984 million!

It almost broke the 20 million mark.

Is this a high daily box office figure?

high.

Cheng Yuan was quite satisfied with this.

If he remembers correctly, it is much higher than "Assembly," which was released at the end of the year.

It even surpasses the opening day box office of "Let the Bullets Fly," which set a record for Chinese-language film box office. As long as it doesn't suffer from a critical backlash like "The Promise," its box office performance is sure to be good.

And this is just the beginning.

On its second day of release, Saturday, the box office revenue exceeded 20 million yuan.

On Sunday, the third day of its release, the daily box office even saw a slight increase.

With a cumulative box office of over 60 million in three days, it's truly dazzling.

Cheng Yuan proved his talent once again.

He's not only good at making art films, but he's also very good at making commercial films.

Of course, no one can ignore the contribution of the protagonist, Cheng Long, to the film's box office success.

But this movie's style is completely different from Cheng Long's previous movies. It's obvious to anyone why.

Cheng Yuan was no nobody, and Cheng Long's previous films had never achieved such phenomenal box office success.

On its fourth day of release, box office revenue declined, falling below 20 million yuan, but it was still impressive.

On its sixth day of release, the film grossed over 100 million yuan, making Cheng Yuan a director in the 100 million yuan club.

He is also the youngest director in the 100 million yuan club.

On that same day, news of "Taken's" overseas box office performance came back.

It grossed over $13 million on its opening day in North America, ranking second on the North American daily box office chart.

The aforementioned film is a blockbuster from this summer's box office: "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix".

This news immediately ignited public opinion in China.

More than ten million in box office revenue on the first day?

That's twice the price of "Hero".

The key point is that there were also blockbuster movies like "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" at the same time.

It's simply unimaginable.

In addition to the impressive box office performance in North America, the box office results in Europe and other countries and regions were also remarkable.

Will the global box office really break $200 million?

Looking at the box office report for "Taken," Han Sanping couldn't help but mutter something under his breath.
