North America is a Huge Hit!
Chapter 543 North America is a Huge Hit!
On the evening of October 3, 2013, North American time.
The midnight release of "Hong Kong Tour" is ready to go. What kind of visual shock will Owen Shaw, the villain of "Fast & Furious 6", bring to everyone?
after all.
The trailers and posters alone present a completely different feeling.
especially--
Chen Jin's image can be described as a complete subversion; her robust physique and composed aura perfectly match the character of a powerhouse.
Students in North America received recommendations from their classmates.
The discussion in the chat circle is already in full swing.
This undoubtedly raises the bar for "Hong Kong Trip" in North America.
In addition, the three main actors in "Hong Kong Trip"—whether it's Bale or Jackie Chan—are all top-tier celebrities in Hollywood.
As for Chen Jin...
With its works and popularity over the past two years, it has long been a strong stock that cannot be ignored both domestically and internationally.
Chen Jin's ability to rise from an unknown minor supporting role to her current status is undeniable.
"Hong Kong Tour" has been a box office smash in China, and after breaking 100 million yuan on its second day, it has maintained a steady performance.
2.02 million on the fourth day.
1.9 million on the fifth day.
……
Such box office results can be said to have shocked both domestic and international audiences.
It's worth noting that the production cost of this movie was only $6000 million.
The box office revenue in just four days has already fully recouped the costs.
Chen Jin has been bombarded with questions lately, from both her classmates at the Central Academy of Drama and industry insiders.
They all sent their congratulations to Chen Jin.
This is an unprecedented achievement, and it has also propelled the film "Hong Kong Trip" to phenomenal status.
"Brother Jin, you're amazing!"
Chen Jin had just dropped Zhu Yanmanzi off at the film set when she heard praise from those around her.
As for Lin Gengxin, he also gave a thumbs up.
As a major supporting character in "Young Detective Dee: Rise of the Sea Dragon", even though Detective Dee was no match for "Hong Kong Trip", he still had no complaints.
Chen Jin's current strength is something he can only look up to from afar.
Despite being around the same age, Chen Jin has already accomplished what he might never have been able to achieve in his lifetime.
"Young Detective Dee: Rise of the Sea Dragon" was a key step for him in transitioning from television dramas to the big screen.
Even though they had already filmed "Playing with Time" before, it didn't cause any stir.
Even with its low box office and influence at the time, it didn't attract any attention at all.
As for Chen Jin now, she is a regular at major international film festivals, and has won so many awards that she can hardly count them on her hands.
"Brother Jin, please carry me!"
"From now on, I'll follow you."
Sui Kai hurried over; his admiration for Chen Jin had been genuine from the beginning.
His lifelong dream was to achieve what Chen Jin had.
After all, not everyone can achieve fame at a young age.
Most of the cast and crew members of "My Old Classmate" are newcomers to the industry, and they already idolize Chen Jin.
"Anyone can achieve this as long as they work hard."
"First of all, I wish our 'My Deskmate' great success."
……
North America.
As night approached, the area in front of the movie theater was packed with people.
Today marks the overseas release of "Hong Kong Tour," alongside "Gravity."
The works in which Chen Jin has acted.
Even though his role was small, Alfonso Cuarón felt he got a great deal.
He recognized Chen Jin's potential when he communicated with Paula.
As for now.
"Fast & Furious 6" and "Hong Kong Trip" have already confirmed his guess.
Even though Chen Jin's role in "Gravity" was small, it still caused a stir.
His initial choice was undoubtedly a wise one; having Chen Jin fill in the last scene would definitely make fans scream.
“Oh shit.”
Why is the line so long?
Several white students appeared at the entrance of the movie theater; they had come as a group to support the release of Chen Jin's new film.
Prior to this, everyone held a dismissive attitude towards Chen Jin.
This Chinese man, who was trying to break into the Hollywood market, did not initially make any good impression on them.
in contrast.
When it was announced that he would be joining Fast & Furious 6, it caused a lot of dissatisfaction.
The Fast and Furious series has long been a classic.
The addition of one Chinese person was not enough to attract them much; in fact, when "Fast & Furious 6" was about to be released, countless people boycotted it online.
only.
The reality check came very quickly.
After they all went to the cinema to watch "Fast & Furious 6", they had a different feeling about this filmmaker from China.
Now, people are even looking forward to every one of his works.
So much so that when "Hong Kong Trip" became a huge hit, they couldn't wait to go to the cinema to support the film.
"I don't know if we can still buy tickets. We feel like we're getting a bit late."
David Smith frowned upon hearing his classmate's words.
"Hey! Anyway."
"I absolutely have to see this movie today."
Since the last "Fast & Furious 6", David Smith's fondness for Chen Jin has been beyond words.
I'll definitely be there to support Chen Jin's movie as soon as it's released.
The other students present shrugged; they knew David Smith's temper.
Once a decision is made, it will not be easily changed.
Since that was the case, they naturally didn't need to say anything more. However, seeing that the long line in front of them showed no signs of moving, David Smith was somewhat anxious.
To support Chen Jin, you first need to get tickets for a midnight movie.
Otherwise, there's no point in discussing anything.
Time passed by, and an hour later, when they entered the screening room, it was already past that hour.
David Smith has never looked forward to the release of a movie as much as he has ever.
after all.
Their Chinese classmates have given the best feedback, and the movie "Hong Kong Trip" will become a milestone in the history of Asian zombie films.
This can be seen.
The success of this film was therefore predictable.
The people behind him swarmed into the screening room, and before the movie started, everyone was talking about it.
Everyone expressed their opinions on this.
You should know that they have already watched countless zombie movies.
Putting aside other works, the most outstanding one is undoubtedly the foundational work, Night of the Living Dead.
This film, which for the first time closely integrated social metaphors with loss, became a classic cultural symbol upon its release.
Besides these, "Dawn of the Dead," "28 Days Later," and "I Am Legend" are all top-tier zombie films in North America.
They are mostly immune to these kinds of movies.
It can be said.
No matter how thrilling or terrifying the scene, I won't instill too much fear in them.
"For zombie movies, you have to watch ours; theirs are just child's play."
"Hey bro! Don't be too confident. I've seen Chan's strength, and he's quite formidable."
David Smith listened to the whispers around him without reacting much. He was now waiting for the show to begin; Chen Jin's strength would only be truly appreciated after witnessing it firsthand.
Snapped--
Just then, the entire screening room was plunged into darkness.
The previous noise vanished, replaced by everyone quietly watching the screen in front of them.
"..."
"OMG, I was almost scared to death!"
"Chan is too strong, he can kill a zombie with one punch."
"His power is comparable to Alvarez."
"Can't we just let this flight attendant die already? How can there be such a wicked person?"
The crowd was abuzz with discussion, and compared to the sheer terror of sudden attacks, the film clearly leaned more towards the annihilation of humanity.
Especially that despicable train conductor, who, for his own selfish reasons, disregarded the lives of others.
The film has reached its climax.
This movie truly showcased Chen Jin's talent.
Until the end of the film, cries of sobbing echoed throughout the entire theater.
Whether it was Chen Jin blocking the door with her life, the homeless uncle's selflessness, or Bear Grylls' final leap, these images lingered in their minds.
"I take back what I said before, this movie is really great."
Every detail was handled exceptionally well.
Even after the movie ended, they were forced to reflect deeply.
If they encountered the same situation in a confined train carriage, how would they react?
In reality, everyone was cursing the train conductor.
However, when truly facing danger, few people would be able to sacrifice themselves to save others like Chen Shanghua.
People are selfish.
David Smith let out a deep breath, and sat in his theater seat for a long time, unable to calm himself down.
Chen Jin once again gave him an unprecedented experience.
This made him exclaim in surprise, and he even regretted not liking this filmmaker sooner.
As a result, I missed many of his works.
As the movie ended, everyone left the theater in an orderly fashion.
"It's amazing!"
"Most zombie movies in our country are just for sensory stimulation, but 'Journey to Hong Kong' clearly has a different meaning."
Everyone, you say something to me.
Clearly, this work has received extremely high praise.
For a time, the internet was almost entirely filled with news about "A Trip to Hong Kong".
[A Trip to Hong Kong: A Thrilling and Emotionally Engaging Zombie Adventure!]
[The film "Hong Kong Tour" has sparked a viewing frenzy in North America, with Chen Jin transforming into a boxer to beat up zombies!]
[Shocking! He actually appears in "Gravity"?]
[Space disaster and zombie crisis—this Friday is anything but ordinary!]
【…】
It must be said that both works have their own merits.
buzzing-
Chen Jin had just finished her work when the phone rang at just the right moment.
Hey! Chan.
"Perhaps we can just throw a victory celebration banquet now."
Bell's voice came through the phone, and the joy in her tone was impossible to ignore.
"It may not be able to surpass Gravity."
"However, the midnight screenings should have performed very well, at least all the theaters were packed."
After hearing Bell blurt it out, Chen Jin couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time.
There's no way to surpass "Gravity".
Putting everything else aside, even Fast & Furious 6 can't compare to it.
It's important to know that "Gravity" was an absolutely phenomenal blockbuster.
It not only grossed $7.73 million at the box office, but also won seven Academy Awards.
This is more than just a thriller about surviving in space; it's a profound exploration of the human spirit and our technological home.
so.
Chen Jin never thought she could beat "Gravity".
Putting that aside, he also made an appearance in "Gravity", so why not?
The release of these two films can be said to complement each other, and both feature Chen Jin.
No matter which movie becomes a hit, it will be entirely beneficial to Chen Jin.
"How about it? Shall we have a proper celebration?"
Bale's words were clearly an invitation to Chen Jin, which Chen Jin did not refuse, since he was going to Los Angeles to film a Marvel movie.
Besides.
I'm also going to attend the Sundance Film Festival.
The entire itinerary was packed.
After hearing Chen Jin's answer, Bell was quite pleased.
The two hung up the phone.
As for Zhu Yanmanz, she already knew something about the conversation that had just taken place.
Just by looking at Bale's reaction, one can roughly understand how popular "Hong Kong Trip" is in North America.
At this moment.
The box office for "Hong Kong Trip" continues to rise.
No one was surprised by this, but many were a little envious.
With the addition of "Grandma's Grandson" and "Fast & Furious 6", Chen Jin has certainly stole the show this year.
From the beginning of the year until now, his works have been exceptionally good.
The achievements of each of their works are unmatched by others.
present.
Industry professionals both at home and abroad are increasingly valuing Chen Jin; they can no longer ignore this power, as Chen Jin has already won everyone over with her strength.
"The filming of 'My Old Classmate' is almost finished."
Zhu Yanmanzi embraced the man in front of her, her joy evident in her voice.
Fortunately, the filming was completed before Chen Jin went abroad, so at least I was able to accompany Chen Jin to Los Angeles.
Chen Jin naturally understood Zhu Yanmanz's implication, and casually pulled the person in front of him into his arms, cuddling her gently.
As for North America...
The phenomenal success of the midnight screenings of "A Trip to Hong Kong" clearly served as a warning to everyone.
It's unclear when exactly, but Chen Jin has subtly infiltrated Hollywood.
His ambition is no longer just to gain a foothold in Hollywood, but to completely open up the Hollywood market with Chinese works.
It is clear.
He succeeded.
He made everyone notice the strength of Chinese works.
but.
A large portion of these people did not show envy or jealousy towards Chen Jin's success.
On the contrary, it piqued my interest.
Countless Chinese filmmakers have ventured into Hollywood, but only a few have reached the level of talent Chen Jin possesses.
Perhaps this is a good sign.
This is a good opportunity to solidify our position in the Chinese market.
Around 2010, overseas markets already had a clear understanding of the Chinese market.
In the eyes of some renowned directors and producers, Chen Jin might be a good driving force.
after all--
Chen Jin has unlimited potential.
