Chapter 524 Reversal of Public Opinion: Chen Jin's Impact on Box Office!
Leo Smith sat in the theater for a long time, savoring the lingering warmth of "Fast & Furious 6".
The voice recorder in his hand flashed its indicator light, recording the entire action-packed movie.
He can't wait to write the most authentic film review about this movie.
The villain Chen Jin, whom everyone resisted, was the one who gave him the strongest shock.
I put the notebook into my briefcase.
Leo Smith finally left the theater satisfied.
As for the other side.
Luke Matt is still telling his friends about the plot of the movie.
"We may have too much prejudice against Heal Chan."
"In fact, he brought the villain Owen Shaw to life."
Perhaps noticing his friend's silence, Luke Matt didn't know how to continue describing the situation.
Precisely.
He was drawn to this filmmaker from China.
perhaps.
You can take a look at his previous works.
……
Chen Jin had a splitting headache and had been staying up late for the past two days.
It seems it's time to get back into shape as soon as possible, since after the release of "Fast & Furious 6", his next task is to continue filming "Whiplash".
The entire schedule is fully booked.
"husband--"
"You're awake!"
Zhu Yanmanz got up early, eager to see how the midnight screenings of "Fast & Furious 6" would fare.
Just as she had expected.
The glory of the premiere has continued to this moment.
"Guess how much the midnight screenings of 'Fast & Furious 6' grossed?"
as predicted.
Chen Jin had a pretty good idea that this was the reason.
If he remembered correctly, the system showed that "Fast & Furious 6" grossed $650 million in midnight screenings in North America.
This result is certainly good.
same.
The initial number of screenings is also a key indicator of the initial buzz surrounding Hollywood blockbusters.
At the time, $650 million was clearly a considerable sum.
Seeing Zhu Yanmanzi's expectant face, Chen Jin naturally didn't want to spoil her fun.
"500?"
Obviously.
Chen Jin's answer instantly piqued Zhu Yanmanz's interest.
She shook her head subconsciously, a hint of mystery on her beautiful face.
"860."
What?
This clearly surprised Chen Jin, as it had obviously exceeded the established scope.
I can tell.
Vin Diesel's unconventional premiere certainly caused quite a stir.
"look."
Zhu Yanmanzi handed over her phone, which displayed the page from Rotten Tomatoes.
As for "Fast & Furious 6", it's right next to 78%.
It's only 1% less than the recently released "Iron Man 3".
This level of novelty is just right, and so far it's already a pretty good result that has exceeded expectations.
Zhu Yanmanzi's phone continued to scroll down, revealing numerous film critics' reviews.
I randomly clicked on Leo Smith's homepage.
This is a lengthy review of "Fast & Furious 6".
"Fast & Furious 6 is great, but all the words to describe it have been exhausted."
"The action scenes are explosive, and the characters are well-developed."
"What surprised me the most was the villain, Owen Shaw."
"High-altitude flying cars, mid-air collisions."
"As a new face, he undoubtedly won me over with his strength."
"The cool, collected management style combined with elegant violence perfectly showcases the villain's charm and uniqueness!"
"His lines, his eyes, and all his micro-expressions allow people to clearly feel his emotions at that moment."
"In my opinion, he is absolutely a respectable villain."
"Even when he died mysteriously, the shock and the feeling of emptiness I experienced were extremely strong."
"His style is absolutely distinctive. Even though I don't agree with some of his actions, I still admire this formidable opponent."
"I think--"
"Chen Jin portrayed him too perfectly. This brilliant villain, who had a short but far-reaching appearance, may one day be able to meet him again."
have to say.
Recent comments have mostly revolved around Chen Jin.
The previous opposition has clearly reversed after the film was released.
They began to regard Chen Jin's eyes as divine.
This film figure from the East has clearly captivated everyone.
Zhu Yanmanzi's face was beaming with smiles. When she saw someone praising her boyfriend, her first reaction was pride and honor.
As for now.
This matter is being discussed across the entire internet.
Its overall influence even surpassed that of "Iron Man 3" at one point.
[Fast & Furious 6's opening hype is close to Iron Man 3's, marking a historic moment for the series!]
[Chen Jin's first appearance in the "Fast & Furious" series receives rave reviews online!]
[Fast & Furious 6's midnight screenings grossed 860 million, potentially becoming the biggest dark horse in its release window!]
[A stunning opening: Chen Jin's portrayal of a major villain sparks controversy, but her performance earns her thunderous applause!]
now.
There was undoubtedly a lot of discussion both at home and abroad. At the height of the controversy, Chen Jin still took on the role without hesitation.
As for now.
He has clearly won his gamble.
More and more people are attracted by his personal charm, and the online discussion has even surpassed that of Iron Man.
The hype has gone up, and some people are even starting to hope that he might return for the next installment.
After all, Chen Jin's acting skills and other aspects are all genuine, and her action scenes and car chase scenes are all real.
It contains no falsehoods whatsoever.
"Owen Shaw is the only villain I can't bring myself to hate."
"Please, bring Owen Shaw back."
"His death was so sudden, I didn't even have time to react."
"Chan has truly impressed me; his drive is simply unstoppable!"
Zhu Yanmanzi mostly read comments about Chen Jin.
So much so.
The overwhelming praise from the internet left her feeling somewhat dazed.
Seeing that everyone wants Chen Jin to star in the next installment makes me a little nervous.
The "Fast & Furious" series will only get more and more outrageous.
The next part is uncertain, and noticing that Zhu Yanmanz seemed a little dazed, Chen Jin moved closer to where she was.
"What are you looking at?"
As soon as these words came out.
Zhu Yanmanz's thoughts returned, but she did not try to hide them.
"Netizens say they hope you can continue to act in the next film."
Chen Jin couldn't help but laugh, naturally understanding Zhu Yanmanzi's momentary daze.
He did not respond.
Be content with whatever comes your way.
If needed for the next film, he would naturally be happy to oblige.
Especially after talking with Zhu Yanmanzi that day, the two of them now have a completely different understanding and support for each other regarding filming.
I tidied things up a bit.
Chen Jin and Zhu Yanmanz then drove to the set of "Whiplash".
There are still several important scenes to film, so for Chen Jin, it is indeed a long and arduous task.
With the two back on set, Damien Chazelle was filming other people's scenes.
Upon noticing Chen Jin's return, the smile on his face instantly melted away.
"Hey! Chan." "Congratulations!"
"The whole internet is talking about your portrayal of the villain Owen Shaw. I will definitely find time to go to the cinema to see your amazing performance in the next couple of days."
A major villain, solely based on Chen Jin's performance, actually topped the trending search lists of major portal websites.
Chen Jin's charm is truly something that only comes to light in hindsight.
“Oh! Damien.”
Please stop making fun of me.
At this moment, everyone present had already walked towards his location.
"Chan, I've already gone to the cinema to watch this movie."
"Absolutely stunning!"
The people present chimed in with their own comments, making it sound like a competition where people were praising each other.
Zhu Yanmanz stood beside her, equally pleased.
"Now that we're here, let's continue filming!"
Chen Jin nodded and then walked towards the makeup artist's position.
at the same time.
Vin Diesel was watching the online comments, showing no annoyance at being overshadowed.
On the contrary, I gained a clearer understanding of my own choices.
"Look."
"My decision was right. Casting Chan as the villain was a wise choice."
Paul Walker and others have just finished their promotional work for the day.
After hearing Vin Diesel's words, he subconsciously raised an eyebrow.
Precisely.
They really had to admire Chen Jin's abilities.
To know.
Before the movie was released, when the casting was just confirmed, Chen Jin could be said to have been subjected to a long period of criticism.
Everyone harbored great hostility towards his existence.
Some even felt he had gotten involved in a very sacred film series.
So much so that it remained a trending topic for several days.
But now, he has single-handedly reversed his previous reputation.
"I must say, your choice was absolutely perfect."
"Chen Jin presents a charismatic villain."
Everyone present agreed, saying that this guy, who took acting to the extreme, showed his sincerity in every frame.
Hollywood right now.
The phrase "Chinese villains conquer the international stage" is attracting widespread attention.
Actually.
Chen Jin undoubtedly put some pressure on them, not only on actors they had worked with before, but also on current Hollywood stars, who began to worry about whether their status would be affected.
Its momentum was so fierce that no one could stop it.
He gradually extended his reach into Hollywood.
obviously.
Chen Jin's immense popularity has already affected them.
This power is completely uncontrollable and could very well devour them.
As for the very center of the topic.
Having changed back into his costume, J.K. Simmons looked at the young man in his early twenties before him.
His drive and energy are truly admirable.
The next scene.
This is a scene where Chen Jin, after being robbed of his seat by a former classmate, also actively cuts off his love life.
him at the moment.
He has completely gone mad.
For what he calls jazz, for what he calls sheet music.
He was in a state of extreme self-abuse, due to his father's lack of understanding and the band's abandonment.
All these things combined left him with no choice but to vent his emotions by playing the drums.
dong dong dong-
“Fuck.”
Under the immense external force, Chen Jin's hands were already covered in blood.
Everyone present couldn't help but look at his current state.
He is now completely engulfed in extreme pain and self-punishment.
A twisted desire to prove oneself, to prove that one can do all of this too.
The first drop of blood fell to the ground.
His expression remained completely unchanged.
On the monitor, those lifeless, empty eyes seemed to have forgotten themselves.
Not crazy, not live.
He seemed to be in a state of desperate sacrifice.
The drumsticks he loved were now stained with blood.
“Fuck.”
"Fuck you!"
Chen Jin sat down in front of the drum set again, and everyone could feel his extreme anger.
That kind of obsessive self-justification.
Chen Jin portrayed it very well.
He seemed to be going through a process of self-redemption.
That struggle was something everyone present could easily feel.
Everyone present felt their hearts clench, and even their breathing became somewhat labored.
"Card!"
Damian Chazelle, after a moment of shock, finally managed to call a halt.
The piercing drumbeats finally subsided at that moment.
Zhu Yanmanz quickly walked over to where Chen Jin was, and frowned when she noticed the wound on his hand.
She can understand Chen Jin's passion for acting.
However, the premise of this is not to abuse your body.
Do you have any hemostatic bandages?
Chen Jin was taking deep breaths, trying to calm herself down.
My emotions just surged up.
He was so dizzy and lightheaded that he felt quite disoriented.
“Very good.”
"Chan, you're absolutely a drama fanatic."
Damian Chazelle couldn't help but give a thumbs up.
He couldn't describe his feelings at that moment. Damien Chazelle had only ever seen this kind of frenzied state of mind, which he could only reach once he got into the zone, in Chen Jin.
J.K. Simmons had already walked over here.
He was holding a medical bandage in his hand.
"Friend, your acting just now really scared me."
"perhaps--"
“I now understand why you have such a great influence at this age.”
Even J.K. Simmons disagrees with this point alone.
Just now, Chen Jin had completely entered a state of inner demons, as if she were destroying and rebuilding everything.
Chen Jin has regained her composure.
Looking at J.K. Simmons in front of him, he couldn't help but laugh.
"Haha, this is called near-life-or-death immersion."
Seeing that Chen Jin was still joking with everyone, the people on the scene finally breathed a sigh of relief.
but.
After this scene, they gained a deeper understanding of Chen Jin's abilities.
There's a reason why some people become famous at a young age.
"OK."
"We'll take a short break, then we'll film the night scenes."
Damien Chazelle put his arm around Chen Jin's shoulder, and a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.
perhaps.
This film will shine like "Fast & Furious 6" because of Chen Jin's involvement.
If this is really the case——
Chen Jin was truly a benefactor in his life!
