After reading Cologne's review, Xiao Yunhai laughed and said to Zhao Wanqing, "It seems that 'Doomsday Games' is not a big threat to us."
Zhao Wanqing shook her head and said, "Don't let your guard down. Sometimes, reputation and box office are polar opposites. The leading actors of this movie are all international superstars with hundreds of millions of fans. They alone can contribute a lot to the box office of 'Doomsday Games'. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "The appeal of stars will only show their power in the first few days of the movie. The quality of the movie will determine the final victory."
Zhao Wanqing asked, "Then what do you think of this American boxing champion's provocation? If you really fight, can you beat him? "
Xiao Yunhai said disdainfully, "If you can win just because you are big, then what is the point of practicing martial arts? A boxing champion like Eriksson has already been fixed by the rules of the boxing ring. If they really fight, he will definitely not win. Not to mention me, even Zhou Lihu would be able to kill him. The real danger should be that Muay Thai champion. Of course, as long as they don't provoke me, I can't be bothered with them. Your husband is a billionaire. My body is precious. How can I fight with them so easily? Honey, since we have nothing to do, why don't we go and watch 'Doomsday Games'? "
Zhao Wanqing laughed and said, "Are you contributing to your opponent's box office?"
Xiao Yunhai said, "Wrong. It should be called 'know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated'."
Xiao Yunhai drove the Ford armored car and took Zhao Wanqing to Fox Cinema. As for the driver's license, Kree used less than a day to get it for him.
Two hours later, when they walked out of the cinema, Xiao Yunhai said to Zhao Wanqing with a disappointed face, "The cloned film review is right. Other than the explosion scene and a few superstars acting cool, I didn't see anything else."
Zhao Wanqing laughed and said, "This is a good thing for 'Valiant Heroes'."
Xiao Yunhai said smugly, "What's so good about it? Movies could only improve if there was competition. It was lonely at the top. I feel like I'm alone now. "
Zhao Wanqing spat and scolded with a smile, "You're really shameless. You're too thick-skinned."
Although "Doomsday Games" did not have a good reputation, with the appeal of several top superstars, it still managed to earn 140 million at the box office, surpassing "Valiant Heroes" and taking first place for the day.
Affected by "Doomsday Games", Xiao Yunhai's "Valiant Heroes" box office dropped from 140 million to 110 million USD.
However, on Rotten Tomatoes, "Valiant Heroes" was still far ahead of "Doomsday Game" with a score of 8.3. Its reviews were even better.
Are you afraid of competing in everything? It was the same for movies.
The bad reviews of Doomsday Games were especially glaring compared to the good reviews of Elite Martial Heroes.
The fans of those superstars didn't say anything to their idols, but they weren't polite to 'Doomsday Game' at all.
What is Fox doing? I've waited for half a year, and this is all I get? "
"Compared to 'Valiant Heroes', 'Doomsday Games' is a stinky fart."
"After watching 'Doomsday Games', I suddenly felt disgusted. I had no choice but to watch 'Valiant Heroes' again, and I suddenly felt much better. "
"My idol, Locke, is so pitiful. Since his debut, all his action movies have always received good reviews. I didn't expect that 'Doomsday Games' would ruin his career. Fox, I hate you. "
.....
In just two days, "Doomsday Games" had become the target of criticism from netizens. Of course, there were definitely movie companies like MGM Grand and Paramount adding fuel to the fire. However, it was undeniable that this movie was a classic failure.
On the other hand, "Valiant Heroes" was a hit, and all the major movie theaters increased their publicity efforts for it.
At the Columbia Theater, a reporter was interviewing movie fans who had just walked out of the theater.
"Hi! Hello, was the movie you watched 'Valiant Heroes'? "
This movie fan was a very handsome young man. When he saw the camera, he did not panic at all. He said, "Yes, I just watched 'Valiant Heroes'."
"What did you think of it?"
The young man said excitedly, "Of course! The Kung Fu in the movie was so cool, especially the main character, Chen Zhen. He's my idol now. It would be great if I could meet him and learn a few moves from him. "
After saying that, he even imitated the actions in the movie and struck a few poses.
Next, the female host interviewed a few more movie fans, and everyone was full of praise for "Valiant Heroes."
Then, the female host came to the ticketing hall and interviewed the movie fans who were buying tickets.
"What movie are you here to watch?" the female host asked a twelve-year-old boy.
The boy replied, "Of course it's' Valiant Heroes'."
"Why are you here to watch this movie?"
"Of course it's because of the cool Hua Xia Kung Fu."
"Then why don't you watch 'Doomsday Games'?"
"I've already watched it. The movie is terrible. The only thing that makes me happy is that my idol is still very good at fighting. "
"Thank you for accepting my interview."
After the interview, the host said, "The movie that everyone is optimistic about is the Kung Fu blockbuster 'Valiant Heroes' written and directed by the popular Hua Xia director, Yunhai Xiao. Since its release on August 21st, 'Valiant Heroes' has earned 480 million USD at the box office, and its investment was only 60 million USD. There is only one reason why it achieved such good results, and that is Kung Fu. I heard that in order to film this movie well, the director hired real Kung Fu experts from real life. It involves more than 20 types of boxing, and the Kung Fu in the movie is real. That's why everyone is so fascinated. "
"Do you want to see how powerful real Kung Fu is? Please hurry into the movie theater. Okay, it's almost time. See you in the next episode. "
This was a live interview conducted by MGM Grand's TV station during an entertainment program. Other TV stations like Columbia and Paramount also used their own TV stations to promote the movie.
The next two days were weekends. The three major cinemas increased the number of screenings to more than 50%. With 7200 screens, "Valiant Heroes" earned 260 million USD and 230 million USD respectively. Without a doubt, "Valiant Heroes" was the number one movie in the United States.
After six days of screening, 'Valiant Heroes' earned 960 million USD at the box office. Not only did it break the record of Hua Xia's movie in the United States, but it was also the number one movie in the United States.
On the other hand, 'Doomsday Games' only earned 180 million USD and 160 million USD on the weekend, placing second.
Due to its late release, 'Doomsday Games' was ranked fourth in the United States.
Following the popularity of Xiao Yunhai's' Valiant Heroes', Hua Xia Martial Arts Centers all over the United States became popular. There was an endless stream of young people coming to learn from them.
The Karate, Taekwondo, and Boxing Centers were forced to close their doors. Now, they finally welcomed a new spring.
