Chapter 1803 1805【Hot box office】
Gossip and hype coupled with regular publicity made "Die Hard" more and more popular, and finally it was officially launched on Christmas Eve.
After its launch, the box office response was very good.
On the one hand, its story is really solid. Although it is just a popcorn entertainment film, the IQ of all members is online. The robbers, protagonists, and even the police did not deliberately act stupid, so that the audience felt the truth.
On the one hand, although the story revolves around this building, the scene is not too big, but thanks to the careful arrangement, the plot is still compact, with ups and downs and thrills, making people breathless.
On the one hand, the main characters are well portrayed. Especially John McLean, played by Xiang Nan, is not only agile, but also smart and courageous, brave and fearless. Such a tough guy is still very popular.
The audience are also people who know the goods. When they see such a good work, they naturally don't hesitate to spend money in their pockets. Many viewers find it unsatisfactory to watch it once, and some even watch it two, three, four or five times.
There was even an audience in New York who watched more than 30 shows in a row and could even memorize the lines. This news was also reported by the media.
This all shows the popularity of "Die Hard".
Because of this, its box office has been rising steadily, and it is extremely prosperous.
…
January 1st, after spending New Year's Embroidery with Miao Ke, Xiang Nan flew back to Xiangjiang.
At this time, "Best Partner" is being filmed, but the scenes of Chen Baixiang and Zheng Yuling, as well as those scenes that need doubles, were filmed first.
Such as riding a motorcycle out of a building, chasing and crashing a car, and so on. In these dangerous scenes, Xiang Nan doesn't have to turn around and take the lead, after all, this is not his strong point.
After returning to Xiangjiang, Xiang Nan continued the filming of "Best Partner".
Knowing that his movie "Die Hard" was released in the United States, Xiangjiang media felt very proud, and came to shoot one after another, wanting to get first-hand fresh information.
"Mr. Ning, when will your "Die Hard" be released in Hong Kong?" A reporter asked.
"Probably during the Spring Festival, it will land in Xiangjiang." Xiang Nan said with a smile. This movie has been handed over to Golden Harvest for distribution, and it should be introduced during the Spring Festival. Coincidentally, Golden Harvest doesn't have any good-looking blockbusters in this schedule.
"Mr. Ning, can you briefly describe the plot of "Die Hard"?" A reporter asked again.
"I won't spoil the plot, don't ruin everyone's interest in watching the movie." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "In short, I assure you that this is definitely a good movie, and it will definitely be worth the price of admission."
"Mr. Ning, is your relationship with lead actor Michelle Pfeiffer true or false?" The reporter asked curiously again.
"Of course it is true. Michelle is not only beautiful, but also works very hard. I admire such a girl." Xiang Nan admitted, making the reporters excited for a while.
…
After dealing with the reporters, Xiang Nan continued filming.
"Are you and Michelle real or not?" Turning around, Zheng Wenya held up a newspaper and questioned Xiang Nandao.
"Of course it's fake, how could it be true." Xiang Nan curled his lips and said, "But I have to say that, otherwise, it will directly affect the movie's box office."
"Hollywood is really abominable, what kind of publicity methods are not good, why do they want to hype up scandals." Zheng Wenya said angrily.
She considers herself Xiang Nan's real girlfriend, so naturally she doesn't want him to have so many scandals.
"No way, who makes people like to read gossip." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "Don't be jealous, otherwise there will be no end.
After all, a star like me is really attractive. Even if I don't go out to help others, others will stick to me on purpose. If you can't even see this point, you won't be **** off. "
If Zheng Wenya objects, he will find a chance to get rid of her.
After all, there is no grass anywhere in the world, he will not be tied to her forever.
"I still think that you should discuss with them and change your publicity strategy." Zheng Wenya said, feeling aggrieved.
"Okay, okay, I'll tell them." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "Okay, it's getting late, let's go to bed early."
"Um."
…
In North America, the box office of "Die Hard" has always remained high.
At the end of January, when the first round of screenings ended, the box office had already reached 45 million US dollars. This result is enough to rank among the top 30 in the annual box office rankings.
What's more, the second round of screenings hasn't started yet. Also, it hasn't been released in other regions yet. At that time, it is not uncommon for this movie to earn over 100 million box office.
In the 1980s, it was not easy for movies to earn over 100 million dollars at the box office. If Xiang Nan can achieve this achievement, it will be really amazing.
Therefore, whether it is Hollywood or Xiangjiang, everyone is looking forward to it.
…
In February 1982, "Die Hard" officially landed in Xiangjiang.
Once released, the film became an immediate sensation.
On the one hand, this movie is starring Xiang Nan, and he is Xiangjiang's chief action superstar, so before it was released, the audience had already filled their expectations.
On the one hand, in the early 1980s, Xiangjiang basically had no blockbuster action movies, only some kung fu movies. Although the play is beautiful, it lacks big scenes and grandeur, and it is still not as grand as Hollywood action movies.
Therefore, "Die Hard" is very popular, and the box office exceeded one million Hong Kong dollars in two days, and it is expected to break ten million Hong Kong dollars, but it is just a piece of cake.
Although it is not as popular as "Police Story", in Xiangjiang in 1982, the box office of the movie exceeded 10 million, which is already quite remarkable.
…
Bellevue Theater.
Xiang Nan asked Guan Zhilin to watch a movie together.
Although Guan Zhilin is the second female lead in the film, she doesn't actually have a lot of scenes. It took less than ten days to shoot and the filming was over.
Xiang Nan used to say that rabbits would not eat grass by the side of the nest, but now that the grass is no longer by the side of the nest, they can naturally eat it. So on the night when Guan Zhilin's role was finalized, Xiang Nan asked her to watch the movie together at night.
Guan Zhilin also readily agreed to this invitation.
On the one hand, she has no ambition. Her dream is to find a rich man to marry, so that she can enjoy life without having to work hard. Looking at Xiangjiang, among the young people, there are not many people who can compare with Xiang Nan. So he is a good choice;
On the one hand, Xiang Nan's charm is indeed great enough. He inherited Fang Yifan's affinity, Cao Xiaoqiang's femininity, and Li Yu's warm masculinity.
The combination of the three qualities makes women almost defenseless against him, even an iceberg will be split by him.
This is actually the reason why Brooke Shields, who is known as the eighth wonder of the world and has countless suitors, also falls for him.
Guan Zhilin is not as famous and status as Brooke Shields at the moment, so it is naturally more difficult to resist Xiang Nan's pursuit, and she doesn't even have the thought of resisting at all.
