Chapter 541 The first day determines the winner!
The film has ended.
However, the psychological impact of "A Trip to Hong Kong" left an indelible mark on everyone's heart.
Mu Ran and Xiao Ya walked out of the movie theater.
My emotions, however, remained unsettled for a long time.
Chen Jin, representing the Chinese soldiers, protected his pregnant wife; the homeless man's final act of kindness; and Bell's sacrifice to protect his daughter.
All of this contributed to a powerful tearjerker moment.
Simultaneously.
The selfishness displayed by ordinary people in the face of disaster forced Mu Ran to reflect that sometimes people are more terrifying than zombies.
To save his own life, the train conductor sacrificed so many people, and even at the last moment, when Bell could have survived, he delivered the fatal blow.
The two drove home.
Mu Ran couldn't fall asleep no matter what she did.
The image of Chen Jin blocking the glass door kept replaying in his mind—that resolute and righteous demeanor.
It lingered in his mind.
Suddenly, he sat up in bed, realizing he should write something.
It's not about excessively praising anyone's selflessness, but rather sharing some of his heartfelt thoughts after watching the film.
"You really don't know how much you hate humans until you become a zombie."
"As a typical zombie film, 'Journey to Hong Kong' follows the same formula as all the zombie films we've ever seen: enclosed spaces, infection, escape, confrontation, cleverness, and also emotional scenes and life-or-death situations."
"But--"
"A unique set of ethics and morality and the law of cause and effect."
“Several times I thought I could get through the hardship, but in the end I was defeated by Chen Shanghua.”
"The most righteous and selfless character in the whole story, he is a soldier, one of our most beloved people... He always helps others without any reservations and fights to the very end."
"But when I saw him blocking the glass door, his determination made me cheer for him."
"And then there's Bale and Cheng Long. In that environment where everyone was in danger, they went from only thinking about themselves at the beginning to working together to save others."
Even the most despicable train conductor is only trying to see his mother.
"I think the final highlight is also the final ending."
"This is also the core message that the entire work ultimately aims to convey—"
"hope."
"So many strong, young people, but in the end only the pregnant woman and the little girl survived."
"In my view, these two characters embody hope."
"A pregnant woman carries the weight of a new life's birth, while a little girl carries the weight of a new life's future."
“New life and children are both forms of hope that can be cultivated, so when the army cheers and rushes toward the survivors, it also represents the power that hope brings.”
"People will always strive towards hope."
"This is a thought-provoking and soul-cleansing film."
"I hope everyone can go to the cinema to support this movie; it's a rare gem!"
"Chen Jin's products are indeed all top-notch!"
After typing the last word, Mu Ran clicked upload.
Good film reviews can also have a positive effect on a film.
in this way.
I hope that "A Trip to Hong Kong" will achieve even better results.
Upon its release, "A Trip to Hong Kong" immediately attracted the attention of reporters from major media outlets.
This is definitely a high-quality work.
In comparison, it clearly surpasses "Young Detective Dee: Rise of the Sea Dragon" in terms of popularity and word-of-mouth.
For a while.
News releases have been coming in droves.

Major portal websites are flooded with reports about "A Trip to Hong Kong".
The discussion surrounding this movie is growing louder, and everyone who has seen it in theaters is giving it rave reviews.
Wang Zhonglei was extremely anxious at this moment.
So far.
With the same number of screenings, tomorrow's opening day box office will be the true test.
Overall, today's front-page headlines reveal some problems.
People are generally optimistic about the movie "Hong Kong Trip".
Wang Zhonglei tapped his finger lightly on the table.
He knew that there was no point in being anxious now, so he might as well wait for the final result tomorrow.
"Brother, what kind of box office do you think 'Detective Dee' will achieve?"
It would be a lie to say you are not worried.
Even if they are deceiving themselves, they will definitely still be somewhat thrown off balance by this.
"not sure."
"Since pre-sales haven't started this time, there's no way to estimate the box office figures."
They are currently focused on fighting, and the final outcome is still unknown.
For Wang Zhonglei, box office figures are no longer a concern; his only goal now is to crush China Electronics Technology Group Corporation (CETC) and Chen Jin.
This guy!
They have become a thorn in Wang Zhonglei's side.
The immediate priority is to eradicate it as quickly as possible.
No matter what, they put a lot of effort into "Young Detective Dee: Rise of the Sea Dragon". As long as it can surpass the box office of "Hong Kong Trip", he will be satisfied.
only.
It's obvious that even her own brother wasn't confident about the box office performance this time.
Especially now that the entire internet is filled with reports about "Hong Kong Trip" and Chen Jin and her team, even without deliberately looking at them, it makes Wang Zhonglei and his colleagues feel somewhat annoyed.
Fortunately.
The company sent someone to check today's attendance rate. Although it didn't reach 100%, tomorrow's results shouldn't be too bad.
Think about it.
Wang Zhonglei finally felt much more relaxed.
"After all, this is a big production. Even if we can't crush them with an absolute advantage, we can still put up a fight."
After all, they had put in a tremendous amount of effort in their previous publicity campaign.
Unsuccessful, they become benevolent.
Wang Zhongjun didn't respond to his younger brother's words. There's no way to be sure about these things; all he could do for now was hope that they wouldn't lose too badly.
As for the current topic of conversation...
While having a drink with his girlfriend in front of the courtyard, Zhu Yanmanzi was browsing online comments and was somewhat curious about the matter.
After all, "Hong Kong Trip" and "Young Detective Dee: Rise of the Sea Dragon" have been in a state of competition since their release dates were announced.
Everyone is waiting for the final outcome of the two films.
"Haha."
Seeing Zhu Yanmanz's inexplicable silly grin, Chen Jin looked up at her.
"Honey, look at this comment."
"I support 'Detective Dee: Hong Kong Trip' and want to see Chen Jin knock down the Tang Dynasty water monster with one punch."
Chen Jin couldn't help but chuckle after hearing Zhu Yanmanzi read out the online comments.
The comments were indeed somewhat funny.
The jokes and memes among netizens actually made the competition between the two films more humorous.
After reading through the comments below, Zhu Yanmanzi spoke with a serious expression:
"I feel that the comments online are getting more and more outrageous these days."
"The National Day film season has completely turned into a tug-of-war between 'Hong Kong Trip' and 'Detective Dee'."
Zhu Yanmanz rested her chin on her hand and casually turned off her phone.
The tree catches the wind.
There was a lot of discussion when "Hong Kong Trip" was first scheduled for release.
If you think about it carefully, you can probably figure out who's behind this.
Since the match began, the two teams, CETC and Huayi, have been locked in a close battle.
To be precise, it was more of a unilateral declaration of war by Huayi Brothers.
Chen Jin looked up at Zhu Yanmanz in front of her, and she naturally knew what her girlfriend was thinking at that moment.
Chen Jin naturally did not advocate excessive worry.
there is always a solution to a problem.
There's no need to dwell on this matter too much.
The more contrasts there are, the more the potential of Chinese films can be stimulated.
A dreamless night.
Jingle Bell--
The moment the phone rang, Chen Jin and Zhu Yanmanz jolted awake.
It is Chen Su.
On the second day of the National Day holiday, the opening day box office results for each film will naturally be released.
Box office statistics are much simpler now, as most are directly reviewed by the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television's Special Fund Office.
Zhu Yanmanz and Chen Jin exchanged a glance.
There was clearly some anticipation in their anticipation of what would come next.
Chen Jin has some confidence in the film "Hong Kong Trip".
Even if it weren't released during the National Day holiday, it would still achieve extremely impressive results.
That's right.
After all, when it was released, its opening day performance set numerous records.
Both the number of moviegoers and the number of screens on the first day set new records.
With such a strong start, box office results are naturally expected to be impressive.
"Brother Jin!"
"The opening day box office results for 'Hong Kong Tour' are in."
Chen Su's tone was never deceiving, something Chen Jin was already used to.
Basically, whenever he encounters something relatively exciting, his emotions will leap with joy.
So far.
You can tell from the tone of voice that "Hong Kong Trip" did well at the box office.
Zhu Yanmanz moved closer to where Chen Jin was.
I'm eagerly waiting to hear the final box office results.
"How?"
Upon hearing Chen Jin's question, Chen Su did not keep her in suspense.
"2.7 million!"
Upon hearing the result, Chen Jin finally breathed a slight sigh of relief.
With an exceptionally high screening rate of 38%, it has significantly boosted the market.
Especially its box office performance this time, which really made Chen Jin give it a thumbs up.
in this way.
It can be said to have broken the record for the highest-grossing opening day for a Chinese-language film.
Overall, it's definitely a box office winner.
"good."
"This result is indeed very advantageous!"
Although it did not break previous records, the National Day film season is clearly going to be a long run.
If Chen Jin hadn't been on the phone, Zhu Yanmanz would have already wanted to shout.
In today's entertainment industry, which film can achieve a box office of 2.7 million yuan on its opening day?
Breaking records for Chen Jin's films seems to be commonplace.
"It should break 3 million by this morning."
"During the seven-day National Day holiday, China's box office should achieve good results."
Chen Su did not explicitly state his expectations.
However, as insiders in the entertainment industry, they all have a keen sense of this.
It's natural to be able to perceive the ultimate success this work will achieve.
The two hung up the phone.
As for Zhu Yanmanz, she had already hugged Chen Jin directly in front of her.
"I heard it! I heard it!"
"How can 'Hong Kong Tour' gross 2.7 million yuan on its opening day be so amazing?"
Zhu Yanmanz hugged the person in front of her tightly.
My mood was naturally completely carefree.
This is enough to prove that everyone highly recognizes the quality of the film "Hong Kong Trip".
"Basic operation."
Chen Jin raised an eyebrow and casually ruffled Zhu Yanmanz's hair.
As expected, the answer was as smug as ever.
Zhu Yanmanz snuggled into Chen Jin's arms, her happiness at that moment beyond words.
Seeing her favorite person achieve good results made her excited as well.
The recent "Fast & Furious 6" and now "Hong Kong Trip".
It really does prove the saying that's been circulating in the chat circle.
No matter which film it is, as long as Chen Jin is involved, it will inevitably achieve the highest box office record.
but--
When the results were announced, naturally some people were happy while others were sad.
Huayi at this moment.
Wang Zhonglei was looking at the data displayed on the computer.
6400 million yuan.
This is the opening day box office for "Young Detective Dee: Rise of the Sea Dragon". Before it, the highest opening day box office was for "Hong Kong Trip" by Chen Jin.
Currently, the box office rankings for Chinese-language films on their opening day are not even a fraction of what "Hong Kong Trip" has achieved.
The two brothers were clearly devastated.
"How to do?"
"We can't beat them at all!"
After hearing his younger brother's complaints, Wang Zhongjun did not show any dissatisfaction.
Qi returns to Qi.
However, this achievement cannot be ignored.
The difference of 2 million yuan in box office revenue is a very significant and crucial market signal.
There are huge differences in the opening of the two films.
"What do we do next? Once 'Hong Kong Trip' is released overseas, our box office performance will definitely fall far behind."
Wang Zhongjun sat back down in his seat.
This time, there's no other way but to accept defeat.
It was thought that stirring up the audience's emotions might suppress "Hong Kong Trip," but it unexpectedly proved the market's potential.
"Patience will bring calm."
"The National Day holiday has only been over for one day, which does not mean that we have no chance to catch up."
The situation is still undecided.
It's still uncertain who will win and who will lose.
They have no other options but to comfort themselves!
