At eight o 'clock sharp, the movie officially started.
As soon as it started, the Zen staff that almost flew out of the screen with a whistling sound gave the foreign audience a big fright.
"Wow, that's so scary."
"It feels so real. The scene is also very beautiful. "
"It's simply a vivid ink painting."
The foreign version of Celestial Bane was exactly the same as the domestic version. It was straight forward, and Xiao Yunhai did not make any changes.
However, Xiao Yunhai found many experts to translate the lines. There were no less than three versions.
Not to mention other things, just the line "Heaven and Earth are heartless and treat all things as straw dogs" had stumped many translators.
Looking at the beautiful and ethereal fairyland in the movie, the mythical beasts of different sizes, the wonderful martial arts competition, and the mysterious and unpredictable demon realm, everyone in the movie hall was amazed.
"No wonder this movie can be popular in Asia. The scene made by more than 5,000 special effects artists in half a year is really unparalleled," a five-star film critic murmured.
"I have a hunch that Hua Xia Xianxia movies will be completely popular in Europe and America because of this movie."
"Kungfu Xiao didn't give up on movies just because he's the richest man in the world. His shooting concept and technique seem to be much stronger than before."
"The plot of Celestial Bane is very old-fashioned, but Mr. Xiao grasped the audience's heart and brought everyone into the world of the protagonist. The director's foundation is really frightening. "
Countless directors, film critics, and other professionals whispered.
In the end, when BiYao bravely faced the sword aura that filled the sky for Zhang Xiao Fan and saved her lover with her life, the fans felt a heart-wrenching pain.
When they saw Zhang Xiao Fan use his blood to power the magic weapon and fight with the enemy without any regard for his life, everyone felt a wave of comfort and cheered endlessly.
Xiao Yunhai saw that some professionals couldn't help but blush and cheer for Zhang Xiao Fan. His heart that had been hanging in the air was finally relieved.
Zhao Wanqing held Xiao Yunhai's hand and whispered in his ear, "Honey, Celestial Bane is a complete success."
Xiao Yunhai nodded and said, "It's a success."
The two looked at each other and smiled.
After the movie ended, the theater was filled with warm applause.
Xiao Yunhai brought Zhao Wanqing and the other four to the front and bowed to everyone. The applause and cheers grew louder.
When he sent everyone out, Xiao Yunhai received unanimous praise from many directors.
"Mr. Xiao, congratulations on completing another great work," said Ivan, the famous director.
Xiao Yunhai said with a smile, "Thank you for your affirmation. I feel very honored to be liked by all of you. "
The famous director Rowan Aikinson beside him smiled and said, "With Celestial Bane's brilliance, it's undeniable that it's selling well in Europe and America. I just don't know if it can exceed 10 billion USD. "
Ivan smiled bitterly. "Regardless of whether it can exceed 10 billion or not, Celestial Bane's box office is still number one in film history. Haha, the media was right. Mr. Xiao is the only director who can make a box office hit better than 2012. "
These directors were indeed speechless. 2012's box office hit them like a mountain, and everyone was thinking about how to overturn it.
However, before they could see the light, Celestial Bane appeared again, and it was even more impressive than 2012.
Based on the current situation, Celestial Bane could definitely exceed 30 billion USD. That was an astronomical figure.
If there was any hope of surpassing it in the past, there was only despair left now.
Walking out of the theater, everyone was interviewed by the reporters.
"Director Ivan, what do you think of Celestial Bane?"
"When I talked to Mr. Xiao, I used the word 'great'. How beautiful is the scene? I can't describe it with words, "Ivan said.
"Mr. Hartnett, what do you think after watching Celestial Bane?"
David Hartnett thought for a while and said, "If I were to describe it in one word, it would be stunning. It's the most majestic movie I've ever seen. The scenes are so grand that I couldn't imagine it before. It's too beautiful. "
"Mr. Todd, may I ask what score you would give Celestial Bane?" a reporter asked the famous five-star film critic, Todd.
"Without a doubt, it's definitely above 9," Todd said. "It's an unparalleled movie. I didn't dare to blink my eyes from beginning to end for fear of missing a scene. Tomorrow, I might come back to take a look. "
The reporter smiled and said, "Mr. Todd, I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you. I heard that the tickets for the next three days have all been sold out. If you want to watch it a second time, you'll have to wait three days. "
Todd slapped his forehead and said, "That's a shame."
On the other side, Xiao Yunhai and the others were also blocked by the reporters.
"Mr. Xiao, what do you think Celestial Bane's box office can achieve?"
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Surpassing 23 billion USD shouldn't be a problem."
The reporter was stunned and immediately understood. Xiao Yunhai's answer was no different from not answering.
That was because the box office in Asia had already exceeded 18 billion, and the pre-sales box office in Europe and America was 5 billion. Naturally, 23 billion USD was a given.
The reporter quickly changed his question and asked, "Do you think Celestial Bane can surpass 30 billion USD?"
Xiao Yunhai said, "I can only say that it's a hope. If the fans can like this movie, I believe 30 billion USD isn't impossible. "
"Mr. Xiao, can you introduce the actors behind you? I think they will soon become popular in America with the screening of Celestial Bane. "
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Of course, no problem. There's no need to talk about my leader. I believe everyone knows him. This beauty is Frost Dew White. She's our Immensity Sea … "
Xiao Yunhai used a lot of space to introduce the four people, and the sound of the reporters' camera shutters could be heard non-stop.
Just when the scene was harmonious, an unknown newspaper reporter suddenly asked, "Mr. Xiao, there's been a rumor in Hollywood recently that you're the mastermind of Mr. Jason Stehr's bombing. What do you think about that?"
As soon as the reporter with bad intentions spoke, the atmosphere became extremely tense.
Xiao Yunhai frowned. His face turned from sunny to gloomy. His eyes were like knives as he stared coldly at the thievish-looking reporter. He said, "What do you mean there's been a rumor in Hollywood recently? Tell me, who's been spreading it? I've made it very clear in my personal space. Whoever dares to name me as the mastermind, I'll sue them until they go bankrupt. Why am I so confident? Because I'm not the mastermind. "
At that moment, Raúl, who saw that the situation was not good, came in from outside and looked at the tag on the reporter's chest. He said, "You're a reporter from Paramount's newspaper, aren't you?"
The reporter's face changed and said, "So what if I am? So what if I'm not? "
Raúl sneered and said, "The whole Hollywood knows about the relationship between Paramount and Marvel. You're asking this question in front of so many people. I'm starting to suspect that you guys are the ones who spread the rumor that Mr. Xiao is the mastermind. "
The reporter was furious and said, "You're slandering me."
Xiao Yunhai chuckled and said, "Don't be nervous. Hua Xia has a saying: 'The innocent knows the innocent.' Using such methods to attack me or my movie is really not up to standard. Haha, they don't even dare to mention my name. Those people really don't have the guts. Oh right, since everyone is here, I'll ask you guys something. I still haven't figured it out. How did I suddenly become a murderer? Is it because I don't have a good relationship with Stel? "
None of the reporters answered.
Xiao Yunhai said, "Forget it. Those people can say whatever they want. If there are no other questions, we'll be leaving. "
With that, Xiao Yunhai and the others left.
After the first screening of the movie ended, on Rotten Tomatoes, 123,000 people posted the highest score in history with an average score of 9.37. It immediately caused a sensation in North America.
Europe was a little earlier than North America. None of the major movie websites had a score lower than 9.
Xiao Yunhai's Celestial Bane went viral in Europe and America.
