Perfect Life

"Mr. Zhou, can you tell us about the recording of "The Thompson Talk Show" at that time?"

"It's what you see on the show."

"Zhou, is the kung fu you showed in "The Matrix" completely your own? Can you really dodge bullets?"

"My kung fu was practiced since I was a child, but I couldn't dodge bullets. So, "Once Upon a Time" is a kung fu movie, and "The Matrix" is a sci-fi movie, not a kung fu movie. Of course, because of kung fu's Basically, it will make it easier for me to finish filming than the average actor.”

"Mr. Zhou, some people questioned that you were doing false propaganda, claiming that boxing champion Aaron received a huge amount of money and then cooperated with you. How do you explain this?"

"Nonsense!"

…………

Saturday, July 28, 7:30am.

When the "Matrix" propaganda team headed by Zhou Baoshan walked out of the hotel in Chicago, the sun shone on Zhou Baoshan's body, the reporters' cameras clicked to take pictures, and countless microphones were stretched out, wishing they could be stuffed into Zhou Baoshan's body. Baoshan's mouth...

It was a short walk from the hotel elevator through the lobby to the outside to get on the bus. Accompanied by his assistant and translator, Zhou Baoshan walked for more than ten minutes, answered seven or eight questions, and then, They finally got into a car at the entrance of the hotel, temporarily isolating the reporters from the outside.

Looking at the reporters who were still unwilling to give up outside the car window and glass, they were still holding out their microphones and asking questions loudly. Listening to their extremely fast English, the smile on Zhou Baoshan's face that never faded changed at this moment. It was even more brilliant—the ten minutes just now were more than the reporters he had seen in the four or five days he had come to the United States!

The car started and ran to the next event location.

Through the rear window, he could notice that many reporters rushed back to their own cars, and then started the car to catch up!

Zhou Baoshan smiled, suddenly took out his mobile phone, and called Du Yihua who was in another car not far behind. When the call was connected, he said, "Sister Hua, I want to start learning English, can you help me? Can I arrange it?"

…………

Zhou Baoshan is red.

Big red and purple.

"Thompson Talk Show" was originally a talk show that was enough to rank in the top three in the United States, and its own influence was quite large, and "The Matrix" was released for seven days, not only in the first two days of the week, it won the box office of 50 million US dollars , topped the North American box office chart for the week in one fell swoop, and in the few working days after the start of the week, it also had a very good box office performance, which surprised many Hollywood studios and professional film critics in the United States. In North America, it has also begun to have a considerable number of audiences and fans.

As the main character and male protagonist of the movie, Zhou Baoshan naturally began to have many people paying attention.

What's more, the label of the boxing champion on boxing champion Aaron is indeed not very watery!

In this way, a number of factors came together to create an actual battle that took place at the recording site of a TV show, and whether it was the process of what happened or the final result, it could be considered extremely shocking.

The mysterious Chinese kung fu, a seemingly weak Chinese kung fu superstar, directly PK lost the American boxing champion on the spot - this kind of news will be of interest to everyone.

As a result, Zhou Baoshan became popular in one fell swoop.

Of course, the vast majority of ordinary American people don't think too much about it. The live video of the show doesn't have the slightest rehearsal shadow at all. The development process of things seems to be so real. China Week defeated boxing champion Aaron in the final period. The fast and terrifying attack power shown at the time is also very convincing. Therefore, the vast majority of American people, whether they watched the TV show at the time, watched the replay later, or watched the show on the Internet. After the video, I immediately fell in love with the Chinese kung fu superstar with such a strong combat ability - but the American public opinion circle is not jealous!

Fake hits!

Aaron took the money and deliberately lost!

This kind of talk appeared on the Internet almost immediately after the show aired - and in fact, it was almost inevitable!

In front of such a video, countless people will be directly conquered and kneel, but some people actually have strong confidence in boxing, boxing champion, or boxing champion Aaron.

They simply didn't believe that the weak looking Oriental face could really defeat the boxing champion Aaron so easily. I don't even believe that the so-called Chinese Kung Fu is so magical!

They are especially superstitious and worship absolute power!

Of course, although many reporters captured the manager of boxing champion Aaron just like Zhou Baoshan, and then blocked boxing champion Aaron himself - the scar on the corner of his mouth is still there, proving that the fight was really going on, not Completely acting, but in the face of the reporter's interview, boxing champion Aaron chose not to respond!

In fact, they are also dumb eating berberine, and they can't tell the bitterness.

The matter of receiving the money, of course, is true. Originally, it was indeed a matter between a real fight and a fake fight, but the boxing champion Aaron was indeed very concerned about the fact that he was knocked down so quickly by the opponent. Angry, so, then he broke away from the pre-planned script and began to play on the spot!

If you just follow the script, how to deal with and guide public opinion in the future, in fact, Colombia already has an absolutely complete plan. Following that plan will not only make Zhou Baoshan an instant hit, but will not affect the reputation and status of boxing champion Aaron.

As for boxing champion Aaron's temporary change of the script, if he wins, causing Colombia's plan to fail completely, then of course he will lose money. At that time, it is estimated that some lawsuits will be fought. After all, you took the money, but in that case, At least it doesn't damage his reputation as a boxer!

But when things were depressed, he was depressed. He didn't expect that he actually lost, and he lost so thoroughly!

At this time, of course, he can talk about the money he took, but in that case, although dirty water is poured on Colombia and China Zhou, he will face a lawsuit and will definitely lose a lot of money. It may not be a problem, and secondly, his career will definitely be greatly affected.

And, after all, if you say it's a fake fight, well, do it again, do you dare?

Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, after completely calming down, boxing champion Aaron had to accept the advice of the management team behind him: keep silent on this matter!

After communication, the Colombian side also promised that it would not carry out targeted publicity for this, and China Zhou would never deny his strength on any occasion, but unified the rhetoric into "Aaron's strength is actually strong, he Maybe you are not familiar with Chinese Kung Fu." Go up.

As a result, boxing champion Aaron shut up, and the United States was hotly discussing Chinese Kung Fu.

The popularity of China Week in North America has skyrocketed overnight like a rocket!

And this kind of influence, of course, was the first time feedback to the box office of "The Matrix" - the first week of its release, two days, "The Matrix" won the box office of 50 million US dollars, the first five days of this week, five jobs Today, it won a total of 27.26 million US dollars at the box office. According to normal market logic, on Saturdays and Sundays, the film will take another 12 million to 15 million US dollars at the box office, which is completely no problem! That is to say, in the second week of its release, the box office will exceed 40 million US dollars, which is not a big problem. The total box office will exceed 100 million US dollars, and it will be in the next week!

However, because of the broadcast of "Thompson Talk Show" on Friday night, it got the highest viewership of 12.63 million at that time. In the following 24 hours, not only did the replay of the show once again score an astonishing 10.45 million viewers The number of viewers and the number of clicks and plays on the Internet are as high as more than 20 million times!

As a result, the box office of "The Matrix" on Saturday suddenly rebounded against the trend!

Or it can be said that the audience in North America, it seems that it was only at this time that they suddenly recognized the face from the East - Zhou Baoshan!

And with such a familiar fulcrum, all of a sudden, everyone began to re-examine such a sci-fi movie from the East-at this time, when everyone began to pay attention, Columbia had launched a series of promotions for this movie. The combination of boxing on , really began to enter people's attention, and even began to enter the hearts of many people.

This sci-fi movie is said to be the most brilliant brain and human end of the movie ever made?

It is said that this movie has an extremely good doomsday setting?

It is said that this movie has a very good fight scene? China Week also staged a scene of artifact dodging bullets?

It is said that the world view and world structure of this film are full of oriental philosophical thinking? Especially brain-burning?

It is said that the heroine is also from the East, with a particularly **** figure?

It is said that the picture of this film is extremely unique, full of color aesthetics?

By the way, the most important thing is that this movie seems to have abnormally high scores on IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes at the same time?

It is said that...

Various said.

It is not a lie that a person's popularity can drive a movie's box office, or conversely, a movie's popularity can drive a wave of stars.

Anything, to develop from a small number of people to a large number of people, needs a critical point and an opportunity - this is the power of propaganda!

There is no need to doubt that it is entirely possible for the same movie, with good publicity and bad publicity, to double or even double the box office!

And because North American audiences are naturally a little face-blind to faces from Asia, they will also subconsciously look down on non-Hollywood and non-American films. Therefore, although Columbia Pictures and Oriental Dream Films have both A huge amount of money has been invested in the promotion and distribution of "The Matrix", and there is also a gimmick of director Li Qian, but the overall momentum of the movie is still completely incomparable with the first-line Hollywood super production!

Even, it is no exaggeration to say that the total box office of about $78 million in the first two days of the film and the first five working days of this week is really entirely dependent on Li Qian's name, and the release party. Wave after wave of hard work has been smashed up - the audience who are curious, accounting for a considerable proportion.

But now, "Thompson Talk Show", three-second KO boxing champion Aaron, Chinese Kung Fu, this wave of publicity came out, and Zhou Baoshan was instantly remembered by Americans.

As a result, "The Matrix" suddenly attracted a part of the audience from the original only relying on hard work, and suddenly became the most popular topic in the entire North America!

It is equivalent to saying that "The Matrix" suddenly became popular after a full week of release!

On Saturday, this movie, which had already shown a certain decline, was judged by many theaters to start reducing its film schedule in the future, and suddenly it started to catch fire.

In just one day, this film, which had already begun to cool off, won an astonishing $34.51 million at the North American box office in one fell swoop. Seeing this data, almost all box office forecasting agencies in North America and major Hollywood film companies, They were all shocked!

The box office of the next Saturday is actually higher than the box office of its first week!

And on various networks in the United States, the discussion about Zhou Baoshan's clip of knocking down boxing champion Aaron on "Thompson Talk Show" and the discussion about "The Matrix" suddenly became hot!

Moreover, almost more than 95% of the ratio is full of praise for this movie!

Some people praise it as the most outstanding sci-fi film since human beings have movies, some people praise it as an extremely outstanding action blockbuster, some people praise Li Qian as an extremely outstanding film director, some people praise Zhou Baoshan Handsome and handsome to a mess~www.wuxiaspot.com~ also has it!

In short, you are popular, and when everyone goes to see the movie at this time, they will suddenly find that this movie is like a horse riding anywhere! Can't even pick a bad spot!

And wait until the next day, Sunday, although all the theaters at this time are not afraid or willing to cut down the schedule of "The Matrix", but no matter which movie theater you walk into, all about "The Matrix" The screenings are still hard to come by!

Although in the afternoon of this day, "Jurassic Park 2: The Lost World" held a grand and star-studded world premiere in Los Angeles, which attracted the attention of the media and fans all over the world for a while, and according to the release According to Fang Universal Films, the advance ticket sales of this movie after 0:00 are unusually impressive. Many movie tickets have been sold out early, but even so, the sudden popularity of Zhou Baoshan and "The Matrix", Still rising unstoppably, it has successfully grabbed a lot of attention and heated discussions from the dinosaurs that are about to land around the world.

And when that day passed, "Jurassic Park 2: The Lost World" has become one of the hot topics in the film circle because it won an advance screening of up to 7.33 million US dollars, but after its release, the second On Sunday, it did not show any signs of decline. Once again, "The Matrix" with a box office of 36.82 million US dollars in one fell swoop, but it did its part to become the first focus of the entire North American film market this Monday!

The next week's box office was 98.59 million US dollars, and it was released for nine days, with a total box office of 149.16 million US dollars!

It was after this box office came out that many people suddenly realized that "The Matrix" from China is not only sure to become the dark horse at the box office in the North American market this year, but also has the ability to challenge "Jurassic Park". 2" Such a giant!
