Rhapsody of Entertainment Rebirth

"The Instant Universe" is so special!

Unlike all previous films, Shanhe has made a film that is difficult to describe.

This is the unanimous evaluation of the movie after watching the movie.

There is so much in the film, and so many scenes worth watching and talking about over and over again.

When interviewed by reporters, many movie fans enthusiastically expressed their love for the movie.

"I think this movie is the most representative work of Shanhe. It is full of overflowing talent and incredible imagination. There are many scenes that I have not come to look at and think about in detail. I will definitely watch it again. …”

"The movie is very beautiful and beautifully shot. I can't describe it well. All in all, it's a movie that's so awesome that it's unimaginable. Shan He's imagination really breaks through the sky. This is definitely a classic comedy that's hard to surpass..."

"Shanhe has brought comedy out of the universe. His brain is really beyond imagination and cannot be evaluated by ordinary people. The performances of several actors are so brilliant. Huang Bo and Wang Baoqiang are even funnier than in "囧", and Yan Bingyan's performance Impeccable, Ma Li made me laugh so hard, I have to take my friends to watch it again tomorrow..."

""The Instant Universe" will definitely become popular all over the world. There are so many jokes in it that each universe deserves to be discussed separately. Shanhe pays tribute to many classic movies and spoofs many classic characters. Huang Bo and Wang Baoqiang When I opened my arms to imitate Little Plum and Fei Wen, I really burst out laughing..."

…

"The Instant Universe" brings unexpected joy and novelty to the audience, but it brings subversive shock to Chinese filmmakers!

Unlike the audience's joyous comments, the directors and film critics who attended the premiere walked out of the theater with thoughtful expressions on their faces.

Naturally, the reporters would not let go of several well-known directors. Facing the dazzling array of microphones, they all expressed their own exclamations.

Zhang Yimou frowned and replied:

"This is a movie that transcends the times. Shanhe's creativity puts all directors in China to shame. The lens language of the movie is hugely different from all previous movies. The plot, color, structure, and light are almost every element of film shooting. They are all brand new. Shanhe's breakthrough is incredible. When he returns to China, I will have a good chat with him. I need to learn from him..."

Feng Xiaogang said even more exaggeratedly,

"Shan He and I are no longer on the same level. I can't comment on his movies. They are too high-end. I, an old bastard who started out as a comedy actor, was shocked by him. It turns out that comedies can be made like this. I'm not bragging. Man, "The Instant Universe" will definitely blind the eyes of all directors around the world!"

Jiang Wen’s answer was the happiest,

"What, compared with "Let the Bullets Fly"? It can't be compared. How can it be compared? I feel that Shanhe is not from the earth. The film has an extraterrestrial flavor. It is not something that old-school directors like us can do. I just feel like it now I want to go to Dunhuang, Shanhe stayed in the Mogao Grottoes for two months, and he immediately flew into the sky, I have to try it too!"

Brother Chen Kai’s words are the most serious and professional.

"Shanhe has brought so many changes to Chinese and global films. He has told a lot of things to the global film market with a comedy movie.

The essence of a movie is to make a story or a person meaningful and interesting, which inevitably requires efforts at deep levels such as psychology, interpersonal relationships, society, and perspective. And these factors are often abstract and subjective, and they need to be processed concretely. This is a difficulty that all directors cannot escape, and "The Instant Universe" solves this problem with a brand-new method..."

…

The comedy film directed by Shan He and starring Huang Bo and Wang Baoqiang naturally has no shortage of appeal.

There is no shortage of young people staying up late waiting for the Chinese zero-point scene of "The Instant Universe".

While Shanhe was waiting to step onto the red carpet of the Hollywood premiere, the Chinese Internet was filled with comments and comments from the audience.

"The Instant Universe" is really in line with young people's pursuit of novelty and fast-paced tastes.

Douban, which has become an authoritative online review platform in China, suddenly attracted countless young movie fans.

"The Instant Universe" has been promoted to the altar by tens of thousands of movie fans, and its rating exceeded all movies, falling straight to the top of the list, with a score of 9.8!

Audience comments instantly filled the entire Douban "Instant Universe" page.

"The breakthrough in mountains and rivers is not the brain hole, but the black hole of the universe!"

"One of the most awesome comedy movies in the world!"

"God-like mountains and rivers, god-like Nicholas Baoqiang and Wilmond Huang!"

"Shan He's comedy talent is beyond the universe! I laughed like crazy and was dumbfounded. It turns out that comedy can be so awesome!"

…

The Hollywood premiere of "The Transient Universe" was still held at the Huaxia Grand Theatre, which is regarded as a blessed place for Shanhe, and every movie of Shanhe is first released here.

The premiere was a grand event. Not only the guest stars in the movie came to the scene, but directors and actors who had worked with Shanhe and Bruckheimer also came to support the two.

Big-name star directors made the atmosphere at the premiere very lively.

As the core of the premiere and the movie, Shanhe and Bruckheimer made the final appearance. Before the two walked on the red carpet, they had already received news that the movie had a huge reputation in China.

Now, Bruckheimer is more confident,

"Qiu, Green Lantern has half its foot in the grave!"

Shan He glanced at the awesome old gangster and poured cold water on him.

"The tastes in China and North America are different. The only Chinese-American film that has exceeded 100 million in North America is "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon." Jerry, the box office of "The Universe" in the first three days of the first weekend should not be too optimistic!"

Bruckheimer adjusted the tie around his neck and replied with a smile:

"Qiu, you have underestimated your appeal in North America. You have many book fans and movie fans, and your reputation and audience popularity in country M are good enough. Look at the audience at the scene. There are not only Asians, but also whites and blacks. few!"

"oh?"

Shanhe smiled and asked casually:

"What's your and Disney's first-week box office estimate for Twisted Universe?"

"We have done research and evaluation, and it turns out that Chinese-American films will indeed be weaker, with sales of about US$40 million to US$50 million in the first time!"

Bruckheimer turned to look at Shanhe and replied:

"The most critical part of the movie is the second week. We are not worried at all about word-of-mouth. The one standing in front of us is "Green Lantern." If Warner succeeds, the popularity of "Transient Universe" cannot be as popular as that of superheroes, so I will Just bet on word of mouth!"

Shanhe nodded and praised again,

"It's indeed an amazing strategy to win!"

Speaking of this, Bruckheimer's eyebrows were trembling with pride. He put his arm around Shanhe's shoulders and wanted to give Shanhe a big brag.

At this time, the staff came over and reminded the two of them,

"Mr. Qiu, Mr. Bruckheimer, you can come on stage!"

"OK!"

Bruckheimer nodded to the staff, put down his arm around Shanhe, and said with a smile:

"Qiu, after the premiere is over, I will tell you about the scene where I verbally engaged a group of old antiques and rendered them speechless!"

"hehe…"

Shanhe was amused by Bruckheimer's triumphant look.

"Jerry, not letting you have a guest role is the biggest mistake in "The Instant Universe"!"

"Haha... You should think about yourself first. Your idiot cameo spread all over Facebook! Qiu, if you play Nicholas, I can guarantee that the movie will break 100 million in the first week!"

"Fuck you!"

Shanhe gave Bruckheimer the middle finger.

The two stepped onto the red carpet while joking.

As Bruckheimer said, there were many fans at the premiere. Chinese Americans naturally supported Shanhe the most, but there were also many whites and blacks.

The Chinese cheers at the scene made Shanhe feel like he was in China. Shanhe was a little moved. The Chinese people in Country M are basically Shanhe's biggest fans.

Shanhe uncharacteristically stopped on the red carpet to sign autographs for fans around him.

"Shanhe, our whole family is your fan, and our entire community supports you!"

"Shanhe, you filmed scenes at our place, and all the Chinese in our neighborhood have bought movie tickets!"

"Shanhe, congratulations to you and Hathaway on your baby Lin'er!"

…

"Qiu, you are on the same side as us Africans!"

…

"Qiu, I'm a big fan of your books!"

…

"Thank you! Thank you for your support!"

Shanhe kept signing autographs to thank the fans at the scene.

Finally, he waved goodbye to the enthusiastic fans after being reminded by the on-site staff.

The next premiere stage was almost a one-man show by Shanhe, with Bruckheimer making a cameo to interview reporters.

"Qiu, it is said that "The Instant Universe" was inspired by you in response to the call of fans. Is it true?"

"Well, part of it! Everyone says that I have a talent for comedy. I have always liked comedy movies. Everyone doesn't like laughter. I also want to try to see if I can bring laughter and joy to everyone!"

"Don't you think comedy movies are too vulgar? To be honest, I just heard the news and was shocked by you!"

"Perhaps many people don't understand or are optimistic about my ideas, but I still follow my heart. In my opinion, a director or writer must always be on the road to pursuing breakthroughs and want to surpass his past self. You have to try different new things, and "The Instant Universe" represents my new verification and attempt. I incorporated my feelings into the movie. As for whether it is successful or not, only the audience can judge!"

"Geniuses always think differently from ordinary people. I can assure you that next you will see a movie full of genius creativity, which is enough to amaze people! Qiu, I heard that for this artistic breakthrough, you After staying in the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang for several months, and almost seeing through the mortal world and becoming a monk, Anne took your family and personally snatched you back from the Buddha. Is this true?"

"Ha ha…"

There was a burst of laughter from the audience.

"I did gain a lot from the Mogao Grottoes. It was the earliest place of exchange between Eastern and Western cultures. As for the rest, it's all personal privacy. Jerry, who specifically told you this?"

"Anne said it herself. What she said was very thrilling, and I wasn't the only one who told it. Many people here know it. If you don't believe me, ask!"

"Fuck! I think the audience doesn't like watching us chattering on stage. Let's start watching the movie!"

"Ha ha…"

"Qiu, we like it!"

"Tell me more!"

…

The whole place was booing and laughing.

…

Facts have proved that creativity is a scarce resource in both the East and the West, and there is no so-called cultural isolation in "The Instant Universe".

During the two-hour screening, the laughter and sighs of the audience were no less than those in China. Several guest guests even held their stomachs with joy while watching their performance in the movie.

The premiere was a complete success as expected. Shanhe and Bullock took the stage again to express their gratitude to the guests and audience who stood up and applauded.

Film critics looked at Shanhe with enthusiasm and approval. In their opinion, "The Instant Universe" is stunning, even more creative than "Gravity", and it perfectly meets their needs.

In the past two years, Marvel and DC superheroes have gained momentum in Hollywood. "Spider-Man", "Iron Man", "Batman", "Captain America", "Thor", plus the upcoming "Green Lantern" ”, one comic book hero after another wreaked havoc in Hollywood.

There are so few successful original films!

All of Hollywood can see that big-budget superhero films will dominate the movie market in the future.

And this is an unprecedented blow to Hollywood film critics, because superhero movies do not need the evaluation of film critics. Because of superhero movies, the role and status of film critics have been weakened to the lowest point!

Even if every superhero movie is criticized by critics, box office revenue and market popularity are not affected at all.

What makes them most helpless is that, except for Nolan's "Batman", other superhero movies are obviously popcorn movies. They can't praise them against their will, otherwise, the opposition they receive will be even more devastating.

Hua Xiaqiu's "The Instant Universe" came at the right time. The film is shot in a wild and unrestrained way, but it is also entertaining and has a strong sense of topic!

Isn’t this the best opportunity for us film critics to prove it? Next week happens to be a damn superhero movie, which is the time for us to build up our sense of presence!

Let’s think carefully about how to blow it!

This time we have to blow out the level, blow out the height, and most importantly, blow out enough attention!

The next day, Shanhe woke up from his hangover. After the premiere last night, a group of people drank and celebrated in a winery. Bruckheimer was not happy in the end and had to drag Shanhe home to continue drinking and bragging.

Both of them drank until they were dizzy.

Shanhe fell asleep directly in the guest room of Bruckheimer's mansion.

"Bang bang! Qiu, are you awake?"

Bruckheimer's shout came from outside the door. Shanhe opened the door, and Bruckheimer's teasing voice rang in his ears.

"Qiu, you can't drink well! You can't even drink an old man like me. It's so bad!"

"After Annie got pregnant, I basically didn't drink. How can I compare to an old drunkard like you?"

"Your life is so boring! No wonder Anne is worried about you becoming a monk!"

"Fuck you!"

"Haha...wash up quickly, I'm waiting for you to have breakfast!"

…

Ten minutes later, the two of them were sitting next to the dining table with a pile of newspapers and a laptop, chatting about the reputation and box office performance of "The Instant Universe".

"Qiu, China's market is getting more and more terrifying. Look, the box office of "The World of Time" at midnight almost exceeded 10 million yuan. According to Disney's prediction, "The World of Time" has the highest single-day revenue in China. The box office is likely to exceed 100 million yuan, which is also a very good figure in North America!"

Shanhe took Bruckheimer's box office data report and glanced at it casually.

"China's midnight slot and first-week box office can't prove anything. In China, Nicholas and Wilmund are not unknown people. They just created a box office miracle with a small investment. Coupled with my personal appeal, Even if it’s a bad movie, it can still bring audiences into the theater, and it mainly depends on word-of-mouth!”

When it came to word of mouth, Bruckheimer was very happy. He smiled and pushed a large stack of newspapers on the table towards the mountains and rivers.

"Look, these bullshit North American film critics are praising you and "The Universe" to the sky!"

Shanhe looked at Bruckheimer, then picked up the newspaper and browsed the titles.

"An unparalleled work of genius! - Hua Xiaqiu tells all Hollywood filmmakers what it means to be outstanding!"

"Hua Xiaqiu leads the revolution in Hollywood! - mediocre popcorn superheroes can never bring new breakthroughs to movies like "The Instant Universe"!"

"There are two categories of movies: "The Instant Universe" and other movies! Hua Xiaqiu has amazingly created a new film language!"

"Xiu Lian puts Thor to shame! Let's learn from Hua Xia Qiu, this is how superheroes should be filmed!"

…

Shanhe drank milk and read the reports that praised the movie. They were all praise and praise. There was no criticism or disapproval.

"Jerry, weren't the media not very optimistic about "The Instant Universe" before? Why did they all change their tune all of a sudden? How much money did Disney spend on public relations?"

Bruckheimer swallowed the egg in his mouth and looked at the newspaper on the table with disdain.

"We don't spend much money. The media are all bastards. Now is not ten years ago. These vampire film critics are becoming less and less popular. Their film reviews cannot influence the film market. They are using "The Transient Universe" is there to enhance its presence, but it still has its uses. Hum, now they are waiting to criticize "Green Lantern" as garbage!"

Before he finished speaking, Bruckheimer pushed the laptop in front of him to Shanhe.

"What matters is the popularity and evaluation of the audience. Look, the Rotten Tomatoes audience rating is 95%, the film review rating is 98%, and the IMDb score is 9.3. This is the audience's reputation. In addition, , Disney’s zero-hour audience survey is also above expectations, with more than 60% of A+ excellent ones, more than three levels of A-good ones, and there are basically no negative reviews!”

Shanhe clicked through the reviews and comments on the webpage.

"Hua Xiaqiu is worthy of being called the Great Magician. "The Instant Universe" is so cool. Not only is it funny, but its creativity breaks through the sky!"

"What a masterpiece! It's so incredible. It turns out that movies can be like this. It's eye-opening!"

"It's so funny! Did you realize that Qiu not only spoofed several guest stars, but also spoofed classic movie plots in every universe? I have to watch it again!"

"The actors are really great, and they are not inappropriate at all, especially Nicholas and Wilmond. They are so funny. I was really laughing at them!"

…

Shanhe selectively read some audience reviews. It seems that young people in country M like the movie very much. The movie has been a success in North America. He is not worried about it in China. The Chinese people's aesthetic standards are very clear to him.

My own adaptations and experiments turned out great!

He took his attention away from the computer and asked Bruckheimer:

“How much is the box office at zero o’clock in North America?”

"Five million six hundred thousand dollars!"

Bruckheimer replied with regret:

"There is no way. There are not enough screens, less than 3,200. Chinese films do have inherent disadvantages. Many cinemas are waiting to see you. If it weren't for your reputation, you might not even be able to get 1,000 screens." Not even!"

"Five.6 million is not bad! The attendance rate should be quite good. My expectation was only three million!"

Bruckheimer put down his cup, nodded in response:

"Qiu, according to the current situation, "The Instant Universe" has been successful. As for the final success coefficient, it depends on luck. We are not lacking in this, right?"

"certainly!

…

While Shanhe and Bruckheimer were chatting over breakfast, several domestic movie stars had already started their roadshow schedule.

The response from the audience was very enthusiastic. After learning that several leading actors came to the cinema for a road show, the IMAX super auditorium was packed to the max.

Questions were also quite enthusiastic.

"Wimond Huang, did you and Nicholas Baoqiang get their English names from Shanhe? That's so funny!"

"Ha ha…"

Huang Bo picked up the microphone and wiped the ends of his hair. Before he could speak, his action, which was exactly the same as in the movie, made the whole audience laugh!

"Haha... Originally, our English names in the script were not these two. Baoqiang's character was named Nicholas Wang, and my character was named Mond Huang!"

Wang Baoqiang pointed at Huang Bo and said:

"We all shouted the names of the characters on the set. He insisted that Nicholas was not easy to pronounce, and Nicholas has more superstar qualities. Shanhe was happy when he heard it, and my name became Nicholas Baoqiang!"

"hehe…"

Huang Bo smiled, raised the microphone and said to the audience:

"I'm right. Everyone is wondering whether Nicolas is a better match for Bao Qiang. He sounds like a superstar at first glance. When Nicolas Cage came to make a cameo, he became a brother-in-law!"

"Ha ha…"

"Good change!"

"Haha...it's so suitable!"

"what is your name?"

…

Yan Bingyan on the side also smiled and answered for the two of them,

"Vemond's name was changed by assistant director Chen Zhiyong, which made the whole crew laugh. The atmosphere on the crew of "The Instant Universe" was really good, which is one of the reasons why the movie is so happy!"

Wang Baoqiang took over the conversation,

"That was Huang Bo's own fault. Silkworm chrysalis is right. He added a Si to my name. To be fair, his Huang Bo also had to add something to his name. As a result, Mond became Wymond Huang. ! Such a powerful name is all in vain!"

Ha ha…

During the road show, several actors told anecdotes about their performances.

For example, Yan Bingyan experienced three months of laundry life in Chinatown; Huang Bo and Wang Baoqiang’s difficult English learning experience; Ma Li’s initial discomfort, etc.

These anecdotes became popular gossip topics on the Internet the next day.

"The Instant Universe" has swept across the country, and the average first-day screening rate of major domestic theaters exceeded 70%.

The box office in a single day exceeded 90 million yuan!

"The Instant Universe" is too topical and fresh. The elements contained in the movie are too rich, and it is very suitable for the rhythm of Internet communication.

The novel plot, funny lines, actors' performances, guest appearances by Hollywood superstars, and various spoofs of classic scenes in the movie have all become hot topics of discussion among movie fans.

As the number of people watching movies continues to expand, the storm is getting bigger and bigger online.
