Chapter 542's release marks its peak!
April 2, 2013, 10:5 PM.
While "Hong Kong Trip" and "Young Detective Dee: Rise of the Sea Dragon" were locked in fierce competition, the Golden Horse Awards announced the nominations for the 50th Golden Horse Awards.
This move has undoubtedly sparked heated discussions among netizens in mainland China.
There may indeed be many people who idolize foreign things, but there are far more Chinese people on this land who love their own country.
So much so.
The announcement of the Golden Horse Awards nominations has undoubtedly reminded everyone of what happened before.
Public support for Chen Jin reached its peak in an instant.
Not only do they advocate for unification, but they also dare to showcase the extreme aspects of everyday life at international film festivals.
All of this has given everyone a strange feeling towards Chen Jin during this National Day holiday.
Patriots know no geographical boundaries.
Zhu Yanmanzi was scrolling through her phone when she saw Chen Jin's name and the Golden Horse Awards trending again, and she couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.
With "Hong Kong Tour" currently showing in theaters, it's common for Chen Jin to trend on social media.
only--
What is its connection to the Golden Horse Awards?
She clicked on it casually, and that's when Zhu Yanmanz noticed the content online.
The nominations for the Golden Horse Awards have been announced.
Comparatively speaking, this year's Golden Horse Awards were much less impressive than in previous years.
Apart from "The Grandmaster," which is relatively well-known, most of the other works are from Taiwan.
There is no doubt about this.
Since Chen Jin made remarks about cross-strait unification on the awards stage two years ago, there has been a clear disconnect between the Golden Horse Awards and the mainland regarding this issue.
As a result, mainland actors almost universally refuse to participate in the Golden Horse Awards.
Zhu Yanmanzi casually swiped towards the nomination list.
Best drama film.
The Grandmaster
Ilo Ilo is not home
Drug War
Outing
A Touch of Sin
Looking at these five works alone doesn't prove anything.
"What are you looking at so intently?"
Chen Jin's voice rang in her ears, and Zhu Yanmanz handed over her phone.
"You're trending again."
After hearing Zhu Yanmanz's words, Chen Jin raised an eyebrow.
I shrugged when I noticed the content on my phone.
He was already used to it, and at the time, his heartfelt words truly came from the bottom of his heart.
Putting aside other things, we are all from the same China.
The trend of the motherland is unstoppable. Taiwan is unable to recognize reality, which is why it has made a series of outrageous moves.
What are your thoughts on this matter?
The unexpected question made Zhu Yanmanz think seriously.
She always supported all of Chen Jin's decisions, even when it was highly likely that they would be in extremely dire circumstances.
I will always stand by your side.
This statement was not merely lip service; it was the result of Zhu Yanmanz's careful consideration.
Chen Jin reached out and ruffled Zhu Yanmanz's hair.
"So serious?"
"It's all in the past, and it just adds some buzz to our 'Hong Kong Trip'."
Chen Jin had already heard that Li An was the chairman of this year's jury.
The renowned director, with whom she had previously collaborated, had contacted Chen Jin not long ago.
In general.
Li An has always maintained a cautious attitude towards cross-strait relations in public.
There has been no interference with this.
The announcement of the Golden Horse Awards nominations has drawn close attention from various sectors of the entertainment industry.
After all the previous mishaps, both the mainland and Hong Kong have changed their attitudes toward the Golden Horse Awards.
Chen Jin had no opinion on this.
In comparison, the most important thing to pay attention to now is the box office performance of "Hong Kong Trip".
After two days of development, people's initial resistance to this zombie movie has turned into enthusiasm.
rave reviews.
As for now.
Chen Jin and Zhu Yanmanz opened Douban, where the ratings had already appeared.
8.6 points.
In 2013, works that scored between 8 and 9 on Douban were considered outstanding and had high aesthetic value and artistic merit.
This achievement is enough to show that "A Trip to Hong Kong" has been a resounding success.
For two consecutive days, Chen Jin received numerous reports of good news.
It's worth noting that Chen Jin is currently one of the hottest rising stars in the entire Chinese entertainment industry.
There are very few people who are more popular than him right now.
In particular, the two blockbusters, "Fast & Furious 6" and "Hong Kong Trip," solidified Chen Jin's status.
Jingle Bell--
Chen Jin and Zhu Yanmanz were scrolling through today's headlines, which were almost entirely about "Hong Kong Trip" and "Young Detective Dee: Rise of the Sea Dragon".
In addition, there is the entanglement between the Golden Horse Awards and Chen Jin.
The moment the phone rang, Chen Jin pressed the answer button.
It's Bell.
This international superstar, who holds a prominent place in China, is clearly here for "A Trip to Hong Kong".
"Hey, Chan."
"What have you been busy with lately?"
Actually.
Bell was very familiar with Chen Jin's whereabouts, after all, the two had been in close contact recently.
"You know."
"I am now fully focused on our collaborative project."
When Chen Jin brought it up, Bell's mood noticeably improved.
"There are less than three days left until the North American release of 'Hong Kong Tour.' How much do you think it will gross at the box office?"
Bale is very confident about "A Trip to Hong Kong," given its remarkable success in China; it would be hard for it not to be a hit.
"It's not easy to predict."
Chen Jin's words aroused some doubt in Bell.
Not only him, but the entire Hollywood is now optimistic about "Hong Kong Trip", and some have even claimed that it will be the pinnacle of Asian zombie films.
In addition, the popularity of Chen Jin's recently released "Fast & Furious 6" has not yet subsided.
As a result of the chain reaction, "A Trip to Hong Kong" is bound to be a hit.
"Lack of self-confidence?"
"I dare not set my goals too high."
after all--
When the cast of "Fast & Furious 6" was announced, it drew considerable controversy.
Even though Chen Jin later turned the tide with her abilities, it still caused considerable resistance.
The Hollywood market has indeed opened up, but to truly establish itself, it will depend on subsequent works.
Upon hearing Chen Jin's words, Bell felt somewhat apprehensive.
However, there is more expectation than expectation.
He wasn't optimistic about "Hong Kong Trip" at first, since low-budget zombie films like this are rare in North America.
It can be said that the zombie movie market was opened up by North America.
This kind of subject matter is simply not good enough.
However, the current results have clearly overturned Bale's expectations.
Chen Jin has long been a figure who breaks free from constraints. As others have said, any work he participates in can basically achieve good results.
This is the end.
Bell has witnessed Chen Jin's ultimate strength.
Zhu Yanmanzi didn't interrupt their call; she remained focused on updating the film reviews on Douban. She carefully read every comment about Chen Jin.
"Zombies are no longer a Western phenomenon!"
"Chen Jin has once again proven to the world their extraordinary storytelling ability."
"There is no Hollywood-style heroic savior of humanity, but more reflection on human nature and portrayal of emotions."
"No matter how you look at it, this film is a first for Asian cinema. Five stars!"
Zhu Yanmanzi was even happier to see this comment than if she had been praised herself.
have to say.
Chen Jin's roles always have their own unique aspects.
Especially this time, when Zhu Yanmanzi first saw Chen Jin, she subconsciously thought he was a simple-minded guy with strong limbs.
I never expected him to have a soldier's core.
After learning the plot, he was overcome with deep guilt.
She felt sorry for her thoughts.
Chen Jin's portrayal of Chen Shanghua exudes an overwhelming aura that is impossible to ignore.
Especially when they were tearing apart zombies with their bare hands, and the three of them finally stood on the same side to fight against the zombies and save the people around them, their courage and strength were absolutely beyond doubt.
"I feel like Brother Jin could go and compete in world boxing; he could take down a zombie with one punch."
"Jin is so cool! He looks fierce on the outside, but he's actually very sensitive and a little afraid of his wife."
"The film has a tight plot and a very fast pace, full of dramatic tension."
Overall, this is a very well-made zombie movie, recommended!
"The film is not just a disaster movie; it also takes into account humanistic concerns and commercial elements, which truly makes up for the lack of creative models in domestic commercial films."
For a while.
Zhu Yanmanzi even seemed a little smug.
The praise for Chen Jin was comprehensive.
Perhaps she was too engrossed in her own world, so Zhu Yanmanz did not notice Chen Jin quietly appearing behind her.
"what--"
Zhu Yanmanz was startled the moment her phone was taken away.
When she looked back, Chen Jin was staring intently at the content displayed on her phone.
"A Trip to Hong Kong" was indeed a great success.
There is no doubt about this.
The seven-day National Day holiday has already yielded impressive results in just two days, and we can only expect to achieve even greater success in the future.
As Chen Jin thought this, her gaze fell on the location where Zhu Yanmanz was.
"It seems that 'A Trip to Hong Kong' might break a record this time."
In fact, this is already a done deal.
The National Day holiday and the Spring Festival holiday are not that different, so there may not be a phenomenon of crowding together. However, the reputation of "Hong Kong Tour" has already been established, so it is hard for it not to be a hit.
as predicted.
As evening approached, Chen Su's text message arrived first.
By around 4 PM, the box office of "Hong Kong Trip" had exceeded 500 million yuan, and its reputation had also been excellent. It is currently enjoying widespread support across the internet.
The level of popularity is unprecedented and will never be repeated.
The pinnacle of Asian zombie films, with the addition of superstars Christian Bale, Jackie Chan, and Chen Jin.
With all these factors combined, it would be strange if the box office wasn't high.
Chen Jin was naturally quite satisfied with this result.
Only when his works generate a large audience can he maintain a firm foothold in the market.
He is no longer satisfied with the Chinese entertainment industry; what he wants to do now is to take Chinese works to Hollywood.
Having ambition is not a bad thing.
After all, only in this way can one's wishes come true.
the next day.
Perhaps due to the accumulated popularity and buzz in recent days, the box office results for "Hong Kong Trip" on its third day actually exceeded 8 million.
Making 15 billion during the entire National Day holiday seems like an easy task.
This is probably due to the explosive word-of-mouth and the significant increase in screenings, coupled with the announcement of the Golden Horse Awards nominations yesterday.
The popularity of "Hong Kong Trip" also soared.
Industry insiders are absolutely ecstatic; who could have imagined that a zombie movie could achieve such success?
This movie is being discussed on Baidu Tieba, forums, and Weibo.
A Trip to Hong Kong.
A work that was least expected to succeed has won the most solid battle.
As a result, it became the best of all works, and its popularity was unmatched both domestically and internationally.
Chen Jin was not surprised.
He had checked the record of "A Trip to Hong Kong" in the system.
It is a work that has been passed down by word of mouth, and it deserves its current success.
Hua Yi was completely dumbfounded at this moment.
How should they clean up this mess?
The movie "Young Detective Dee: Rise of the Sea Dragon" was made with all its might, but it has now been overshadowed by a mindless zombie movie called "Hong Kong Trip".
That's right.
The current performance of "A Trip to Hong Kong" is simply outrageous.
In just three days, it had already grossed nearly 8 million yuan, leaving "Young Detective Dee: Rise of the Sea Dragon" far behind.
If this kind of performance continues, the results will be uncontrollable once it's released in North America.
"Brother! Can you swallow this insult?"
When asked to reiterate this question, Wang Zhongjun had no desire to answer it.
He really underestimated Chen Jin.
At such a young age, he's so arrogant that he leaves no way out for anyone.
This time, they completely crossed their bottom line.
Businessmen make huge profits.
Chen Jin has undoubtedly harmed their interests.
Wang Zhongjun could accept the poor box office performance of "Young Detective Dee: Rise of the Sea Dragon," but he couldn't admit that he was being overshadowed by China Electronics Technology Group Corporation (CETC) and Chen Jin.
He was very unhappy, but he also knew very well that it would be no easy task to bring down Chen Jin.
This arrogant and ignorant guy has long since spread throughout the entertainment industry like moss.
If this continues, Huayi will be finished sooner or later.
Let's avoid the limelight for now.
These five short words clearly made Wang Zhonglei quite angry.
Should we avoid his sharp edge?
When Huayi was at the top, Chen Jin was still nowhere to be found.
but--
His brother was right; they have no other option but to play it safe and seek victory.
Since the start of the Spring Festival season, Huayi Brothers has been consistently outperformed by China Electronics Technology Group Corporation (CETC).
If this continues, they may no longer have a place in the entertainment industry.
Forget it.
Wang Zhonglei remained silent. He knew that a small act of impatience could ruin a great plan, and they could seize the opportunity to strike decisively.
Huayi's concerns are not unfounded.
"Hong Kong Trip" has now completely entered a high-speed mode.
Over the next two days, the box office revenue showed a clear upward trend.
at last!
The film "Hong Kong Tour" has finally been officially released in North America.
Compared to usual, most movies are released in North America first, but this time the power is in Chen Jin's hands, which makes her presence impossible to ignore.
now.
Theaters across North America had already put up posters for "Hong Kong Trip" long ago.
We were waiting for this masterpiece to arrive.
The success of "A Trip to Hong Kong" in China was enough to make them envious, and now this opportunity to make money has finally fallen into their laps.
Nearly 6000 pavilions across the United States are now ready.
What needs to be done now is to launch "Hong Kong Tour" into a zombie apocalypse in North America.
The person most excited about this is undoubtedly Bale, who can probably already predict what kind of results "Hong Kong Tour" will achieve!
