"Blood of the Machine" is actually the same as "City Alert" and "Future Police"...

Without the shell of so-called science fiction elements, it is just a traditional police and gangster kung fu movie.

The core of science fiction is weak, it just adds a touch of science fiction color to the overall structure of the action movie.

These so-called science fiction elements are just a rationalization that allows them to create more exaggerated action, just like the zombie elements in Lin Zhengying's zombie movies...

All that's left is to put the sci-fi label on the promotion to attract more moviegoers at the box office.

In fact, traditional mainland filmmakers, including directors from Hong Kong, all have the same idea: science fiction, that is, robots, laser guns, aliens, big spaceships, and then start...

Isn't this science fiction? Not only the filmmakers themselves think so, but many viewers also think so, especially when the story is pretty good.

Therefore, Teng Tao said confidently before the movie was released: "Shanghai Fortress is, in a sense, a more hard-core science fiction than The Wandering Earth!"

Do you think he is bragging?

No, he may really think so - "The Wandering Earth" has no aliens or laser guns, but "Shanghai Fortress" has both!

Hard or not?

So hard!

Next year's Lunar New Year movie... "The Wandering Earth" will also be on...

Gee, good luck to "Blood of the Machine"!

…

Yang Xiaomi did not return to China with Shen Changlin, she returned early...

But there can be no scandal.

She still needs to take into account her friendship with Shi Shi.

After all, it’s not easy to find such a ‘reasonable’ female best friend!

By the way, Yang Xiaomi and Jackie Chan had a great time talking to each other. Yao Lai has several projects, and he may have to look for her...

Regarding this matter, Shen Changlin has two suggestions: first: never participate in investment; second: don’t sign an account sharing contract...

Who knows how many years Yaolai can last!

The original time and space lasted until 2018. Along with Fan Xiaopang's words "Wu Yue is very happy", all the film and television companies related to her showed their true colors...

Including Sparkle!

Sparkle Roll itself started off by relying on celebrities. When celebrities are high-quality assets, of course there is no problem, but once there is a problem with the celebrity, of course the company will also have problems.

Especially when Jackie Chan's brand name doesn't work...

Of course, today's Yaolai is still the most powerful one - Fan Xiaopang's brother Xiao Qi has been on the Hurun Rich List many times...

Yang Xiaomi is still very satisfied with Yaolai.

She returned to China to participate in a series of promotional activities for "Independence Day 2" - people came to her because they valued her mainland appeal.

After Shen Changlin returned to China, he immediately entered work mode - publicity.

First I had a few exclusive interviews, and then I appeared on an episode of the Movie Channel's "Light and Movie Star Podcast", and by the way, Mango Channel's "News Parties"...

By the way, Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao also appeared in "Tian Tian Shang Shang" together...

After all, when "Avenged 2" was released, "Independence Day 2" was released at the same time, and "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2" was released next week...

Wanda is also a co-producer of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2", so it will definitely take up space in the film schedule!

June is the traditional Hollywood blockbuster season.

There will be "The Gift of Room No. 7" and "The 800" in July, so they can't encroach on the market space of domestic films.

…

"I watched "The Young Master" some time ago. In fact, I didn't really like this movie before because the fighting was not intense enough. But recently I have gained new insights after watching it, especially the 8-minute "back" scene in the film.

"Ancient Poetry" is a rare pure literary drama in Hong Kong kung fu comedies. It also expresses Jackie Chan's love for traditional Chinese culture."

"He likes Yue Fei very much. He can recite "Man Jiang Hong" in Northeastern dialect and Shandong dialect..."

"To be honest, I was a little bit intolerant when filming "The Vengeance 2". After all, Mr. Yuen Biao, Jackie Chan, and Sammo Hung are all over 60 years old. I still have to torment them, make them punch and kick, and race to the death. ,jumping off buildings and into the sea…”

After a pause, Shen Changlin continued: "I won't be filming "Avenger 3"!"

"Why?"

The media quickly asked...

By the way, it's the premiere of "The Wrongful Man 2".

"...Didn't I say it, I can't bear it... I used to know that all Hong Kong action actors have martial arts backgrounds and dare to fight. But these four words are easy to say, but when I saw it live, it was quite shocking. It's so big. Given my age, if it wasn’t for their trust in me, I don’t think they would have accepted The Wrongful Man 2!”

Sammo Hung interjected: "...Don't say that, we also want to make some money. By the way, let me tell you that although we are old, we are not dead yet!"

"The script plan is only two parts, and the story has been told. If we continue to shoot, I don't know what to shoot..."

"Director Shen, are you worried that it will be released on the same day as "Independence Day"?"

Shen Changlin smiled: "This is Warner's idea. It seems that "Independence Day 2" did not hold any media previews. They thought it was abnormal..."

Actually, this is the case. Fox first exposed "X-Men: Apocalypse" to the media early, but did not expect that the reputation was not as good as expected; when it came to "Independence Day 2", it changed its strategy and did not show it to the media, and directly moved the screening venue to Friday. Release day.

This has led to many media outlets complaining that it has caused difficulties in meeting their deadlines.

In this situation where you are already full of resentment towards the movie before going to see it. Unless the movie is really good, it will be scolded to death.

Of course, this aspect may also reflect the film company's own lack of confidence in the film, and the media usually smells this "lack of confidence" and becomes bold: Anyway, you don't think it's good, so we won't be polite.

On the contrary, Warner followed Disney's lead and held media events for all three films, "Virus," "The Righteous 2," and "Manslaughter," and made public comments earlier.

This has undoubtedly won the support and appreciation of the media, because they can see it very early without having to hold it back, and everyone is happy with the result.

At the same time, Warner has massively expanded its pre-publicity efforts and invited a large number of Internet celebrities to attend press conferences.

With this group of Internet celebrities around, the film’s early reputation spread rapidly...

"Can you tell me your box office forecast?"

"...Warner has given a global box office target of US$400 million. I think they have underestimated the potential of the Chinese film market. "The Vengeance 2" can have a box office of at least 2 billion in the mainland!"

Well, let’s fire it off!

…

It's normal to blow your pussy...

Of course, Shen Changlin's bragging is also well-founded. "The Vengeful Man 2" brings together the three brothers Sammo Hung, Jackie Chan, and Yuen Biao, and there are Easter eggs in the previous movie, so 1.5 billion is guaranteed!

The movie itself continues the style of the first movie - the fighting style, but is somewhat restrained in scale. The North American rating is pg-13.

As for the story, it continues to uncover the gangsters and then take revenge - killing to stop killing, and violence to fight violence.

There are many big scenes, trains, helicopters...

In short, an investment of 80 million US dollars must be made to look like 80 million US dollars!

Warner has secured 4,200 flower theaters, 1,100 more than the first film...

"Independence Day 2" has 4,100...

The opening venues are almost the same, and the contrast in results is very clear. To be precise, the contrast in word-of-mouth is very clear: "Independence Day 2" opened with a three-day box office of 40.22 million U.S. dollars, while "The Righteous 2" opened with a 57 million U.S. dollar...

In terms of word-of-mouth comparison, "Independence Day 2" received a B rating on emascore, but only a failing score of 33 on metacritic.

On the other hand, "The Righteous 2" received an A- rating on Emascore and a high reputation rating of 87 on Metacritic.
