In Xiao Yunhai's theater.
When the lights came on, Xiao Yunhai and the main cast of the movie were already standing on the stage. They bowed deeply to everyone.
Everyone was not stingy with their enthusiastic applause. After a full minute, they finally stopped.
Xiao Yunhai said, "Hearing everyone's applause, I'm relieved. Although this movie has achieved good results abroad, what I really care about is whether the Hua Xia fans like it. Now it seems that it's not bad. "
"Thank you again for coming. Tonight's premiere is over."
Xiao Yunhai sent everyone out of the theater. The reporters who had been waiting outside immediately surrounded the stars.
"Director Wu, what do you think of 'Valiant Heroes'?"
Wu Zixu smiled and said, "A movie that can achieve tens of billions of box office in the international film industry must be good in terms of quality."
"If you were to give a score, how many points would you give it?"
Wu Zixu thought for a moment and said, "8.5."
On the other side, the famous five-star film critic Luo Haiqing said, "In Hua Xia, there is a saying that a beauty can cover a hundred ugliness. For this movie, I give it four points for the story, six points for the costumes and props, and three points for the artistry. Only for the action design, I give it … 100 points. "
Luo Haiqing ignored the exclamations of the reporters and continued, "That's right. 100 points for the action design. The action scenes in 'Valiant Heroes' are the best among all the movies I've seen. Whether it's in our country or in Hollywood, there's no other movie that can compare to it. The Kung Fu used in it is really amazing. If you don't believe me, you can take a look and see if I'm telling the truth. "
.....
The premiere of 'Valiant Heroes' was a complete success. However, the Huafeng Theater, which was not far from Hua Xia Theater, was a little sad.
Although there were many stars in 'Da Yu's Flood', the scene was very awkward. Except for the artists of Hongda Film Company, the other stars basically ran to 'Valiant Heroes'.
And the number of movie fans who came to watch the movie was even fewer. In total, there were only 200 people.
At that moment, Xia Hongda and Li Rongguang finally understood how Xiao Yunhai felt during the premiere of Do Not Disturb.
That night, all the fans who watched "Valiant Heroes" posted on the forum.
"I only have one word to say about 'Amazing Martial Heroes'."
"If I don't watch 'Elite Heroes', I'll regret it for the rest of my life."
"Chinese martial arts only kill people, not perform. Do you want to know what kung fu is used to kill people? Please take a look at . "
"Elite Martial Heroes, the pinnacle of actual combat."
"Yun Huang is invincible. 'Elite Martial Heroes' is unparalleled in the world."
"'Elite Martial Heroes' is good. I don't need to explain."
On the movie viewing website, more than 2.6 million movie fans gave "Valiant Heroes" a super high score of 9.17.
In the expert rating column, 42 film critics gave the film 8.45 points.
The five star film critic Luo Haiqing posted a short review.
"Simple story, simple background, simple characters, and simple action design made 'Elite Martial Heroes' the most popular movie in the history of Hua Xia movies. I said in an interview that a beauty can cover a hundred ugliness. 'Elite Martial Heroes' is a typical example. There were more than 20 kinds of world martial arts used in the movie. They were fierce, overbearing, and incomparably fierce. The actors also hit the flesh with their fists. Although every move could kill people, there was a kind of natural beauty when they fought. This is the first time I've been attracted by the action in a movie. Therefore, I give this movie 8.1 points. "
Xiao Yunhai's old friend Wu Zi Xu said on his homepage, "Tonight, I went to watch 'Elite Martial Heroes' with a learning attitude. I mainly wanted to see what kind of Hua Xia martial arts movie could be so popular all over the world. From beginning to end, after seriously watching the entire movie, I feel that this trip was worth it. "
"Xiao Yunhai's movie is straight forward. There are no twists and turns in the plot. Just like the martial arts in the movie, it's straight forward and not sloppy at all. Plus, the action scenes are too prominent. This made the movie popular all over the world. If I were to give a score, I would give it 8.4 points. "
Under everyone's praise, Xiao Yunhai's' Elite Martial Heroes' box office reached a jaw-dropping level.
September 10th, four movies got 180 million in box office, shocking the entire entertainment industry.
And the huge amount of money spent on 'The Great Yu Water Control' only got 23 million. One had to know that Hua Feng Cinema gave it 60% of the showtimes.
September 11th, 'Elite Martial Heroes' had an average attendance of 92% and got 358 million in box office. It was unquestionably the number one movie in the country.
'The Great Yu Water Control' got second place with 84 million in box office. The third place went straight to 50 million. It could be seen that 'Elite Martial Heroes' suppressed the other movies.
Including 'The Great Yu Water Control', almost all the other movies stopped promoting because they knew that it was useless. They could only wait until the wave of 'Elite Martial Heroes' passed.
On Saturday, September 12th, Huaxia Cinemas increased the number of showtimes. "Valiant Heroes" grossed 450 million yuan and became the number one movie in the history of Chinese movies.
September 13th, Sunday, 'Elite Martial Heroes' made 580 million and broke the record it just set.
In less than four days, the 1.56 billion box office made all the directors in Hua Xia admire it.
There was also good news from other countries. The total box office sales had reached 4.530 billion USD, ranking fifth on the world's box office rankings.
September 14th, the storm of 'Elite Martial Heroes' finally died down. However, it still got 320 million.
In the next six days, it got a total of 1.05 billion in box office.
Without the suppression of 'Elite Martial Heroes', the other movies that had been silent for a long time finally started to attack.
September 18th, 'The Great Yu Water Control' made 220 million in box office with a good reputation. It surpassed 'Elite Martial Heroes' for the first time.
However, it had already been released for eight days and only made 560 million in box office. For a movie that had more than 1.5 billion in investment, it was a failure.
"Valiant Heroes" had already been released in other regions, including America. The movie had earned a total of 3.9 billion USD overseas.
Hua Xia's internet, newspapers, and magazines all promoted the movie's success. It could be said that everyone was celebrating.
Countless fans came to Xiao Yunhai's homepage to express their excitement.
It was said that even the government officials praised Xiao Yunhai at a cultural conference. They said that he was the role model for young filmmakers in Hua Xia. They said that he had a huge impact on Hua Xia's culture.
At the same time, martial arts schools all over Hua Xia were built like bamboo shoots after a rain. There was an endless stream of people who came to learn martial arts.
Especially Xiao Yunhai's grandfather's Xingyi Tai Chi Sect. Dozens of people came from thousands of miles away almost every day to be apprenticed. There were even more people in the surrounding areas.
Liang Jiahong saw that Hua Xia's martial arts schools were blooming because of his grandson. There was no need to mention the pride in his heart. For the first time, he praised Xiao Yunhai over the phone. However, Liang Jiahong had a headache when it came to the people who came to be apprenticed to him.
He had already accepted Tiger Liang as his last disciple. He would never accept another disciple in this life. Therefore, he asked someone to take down the plaque of the Xingyi Tai Chi Sect and put a sign at the door. The sign said, 'This martial arts school is closed. We are no longer accepting disciples.'
Seeing this, everyone could only leave helplessly.
When 'Elite Martial Heroes' was released in Hua Xia, it made 3.4 billion Hua Xia yuan at the box office. It was almost one billion USD. As a result, its global box office reached 4.9 billion USD and it took third place in the global box office rankings.
Xiao Yunhai received 2.83 billion USD out of the 4.9 billion USD. Compared to the investment, Xiao Yunhai himself received 45 times the return.
