Entertainment World: The Wild God of Gourmet

Throughout June, "Barbosa" was screened on demand in dozens of theaters in North America.

There is no premiere, no large-scale media activities, only the questionnaire that Warner asked the theaters to cooperate with.

The screening scale is small, and there are only three movie theaters in California participating in the screening. Many viewers who are attracted by the publicity want to catch a glimpse in advance, but they can only drive a long distance to find a movie theater where it will be shown. Chen Yun is one of them.

Chen Yun is a Chinese student studying in California. In his spare time, he also works part-time as an outdoor anchor of Panda Platform in California.

Panda's ID is "It Doesn't Rain in California". In his spare time, he will live broadcast some of his study and life in California, and occasionally take the audience to watch the NBA and so on. Because the time difference between the United States and China is too large, it is often already midnight in China when he broadcasts during the day, so his popularity is not high, and the highest popularity is only hovering between tens of thousands.

He brought his girlfriend to watch the screening of "The Barbossa" today. He didn't plan to broadcast it live, but he came too early and was too bored, so he used his mobile phone to start the broadcast temporarily. Unexpectedly, after he typed the title "Look at it: Chicago North America will take you to watch the screening of Lord Dog's movie "Barbosa" in advance", the live broadcast room was still full of people even in the middle of the night. More than 800,000 spectators watched.

When Chen Yun saw the bullet screens flying all over the screen, he suddenly felt that the pear mountain was so big that he couldn't even speak fluently.

Girlfriends and the like were naturally ignored. Fortunately, his girlfriend was also very excited. After all, it was unprecedented to be followed by hundreds of thousands of people.

Walking into the cinema, looking at the past, you can easily see the huge poster of "Barbosa" from the lobby of the theater-Chen Ergou with a wild knife on his waist, standing high on the mast, the huge Barbosa The picture of the Spanish galleon full of gold and gems sailing through the wind and waves seemed to burst out of the poster.

There is also an extremely exaggerated promotional slogan below, Hero-Chen's English name is placed in the middle, and the logos of Warner Bros. Pictures and Reservoir Dogs Studio are also prominently placed below.

On the big screen on the other side, "Barbosa" was also shown in several trailers. Among them are exquisite pictures, all kinds of extraordinary action adventures, the picture of Chen Ergou playing handsome and possing his face with a sunny smile, the magical mechanism in the pirate tomb, the collapse of the secret room filled with sea water, and the extremely thrilling scenes are numerous.

The mysterious threatening phone call received in the middle flashed by, adding a suspenseful atmosphere to the trailer. If these are true, it is probably the first exposure. Afterwards, the experience of competing with the enemy and going to the sea to find the treasure island is also flashed in the trailer. Fighting sharks at the bottom of the sea and encountering mercenaries on islands are highlighted. Especially the scene of fighting alone with flying knives and bullets,

Even an RPG appeared, stunned the audience: "Is this really a documentary and not a special effects movie?"

The final scene of the trailer is a luxury auction held in New York. Jordan, Leonardo, Taylor Swift and other superstars filled the period. From the wilderness to the gorgeous banquet hall, it seems that they have reached the pinnacle of life, which is enough to make countless hair crooked.

After watching the complete trailer, the audience feels that this is a wonderful Hollywood adventure blockbuster, with various Hollywood commercial elements emerging one after another, and it looks full of selling points.

The water friends in the live broadcast room watched it over and over again, and every time it was the turn of "Barbosa", the blockbuster "666" came out.

"The art of the poster is not bad, it looks more eye-catching than domestic posters."

"It's not fair, why is the trailer in the US longer than in China!"

"The dog's English name, is it finally called Hero? I think Nicholas is more suitable for the dog, I agree with +1"

"+1"

"+10086"

"The host is going to ask if there is anyone else who just came to watch the show?"

"Is this the premiere of Lord Dog? Why is there no one? Could it be that the movie hit the street?"

"Don't spread rumors upstairs, it's just a screening in the United States, it hasn't been officially released yet..."

This theater has a good business, and it coincides with a large number of audiences on weekends, but there is no guarantee that they will come to see "Barbossa". At the request of the audience, Chen Yun also pretended to be a reporter and interviewed several moviegoers. I found that there were quite a few viewers who were attracted by this documentary at the same time. There were English-speaking Chinese, and more were white. Everyone came to watch the same movie, and there was a common topic immediately. When they learned that Chen Yun and Chen Ergou were live broadcasting on the same live broadcast platform, they inevitably had to share some opinions.

The domestic audience saw it quite freshly. It turns out that Lord Dog is already so famous in the United States.

Unexpectedly, he left the Novice Village without a sound, and started cutting high-level maps alone.

Chatting and chatting, the screening time is coming soon, Chen Yun naturally can't bring everyone into the theater to watch the movie together, "Audience, the movie is about to start. I'll go in first and have a look. It will end in about two hours. If the time comes, everyone If you are still interested, I will start the broadcast again, tell everyone about my viewing experience and interview other viewers by the way."

Two hours passed quickly, there was applause in the cinema, and then staff distributed questionnaires.

Both Chen Yun and his girlfriend were excited and gave an A+ rating without hesitation.

He hasn't forgotten the promise he made with Shui You, and the show will start again as soon as he leaves the theater. Audiences poured in one after another, seeing that Chen Yun had already started to act as a reporter, interviewing some audiences who had just watched the movie.

"Barbosa" did not disappoint them either. Although it is a documentary, the tense and exciting plots are intertwined, the suspenseful atmosphere and the hot action scenes are all breathless. In the real pirate treasure room, all kinds of traps emerge one after another, and the dazzling array of treasures make people dazzled.

Even if the grand auction at the end is completely a star counting meeting, it is still full of selling points.

The most outrageous thing is that all these pictures are all TM real, isn't it exciting enough?

"It's no exaggeration to say it's a rare action-adventure movie! A+"

"It is definitely a rare top-level action movie! Grade A!"

"The soundtrack is very good, the rhythm is very exciting, especially the follow-up shots are simply amazing. I heard that many of them are super long shots with one shot to the end. It's amazing! A+"

"I think it's a bit beyond reality. Is this really all real scenes, a real documentary? Although the movie is very good, but I'm sorry, I don't believe them, I can only give B-"

Most of the ratings were A-level, and domestic water friends who watched the live broadcast felt itchy when they heard the translation of "It Doesn't Rain in California", wishing they could watch the movie in China tomorrow.

Jenna, a special film critic of the Los Angeles Times, is also one of the audience who just watched the film. In her opinion, the film contains all ordinary people's fantasies about pirate treasures, but one is crooked in the heart, and the other is real experience. . As a documentary, the film has flaws. If you look for loopholes in the plot, you can even easily find a few, but because it happened in real life, it doesn't matter the plot.

From the very beginning when I picked up the leak in Morocco and found the pirate scimitar, it was full of legendary adventures. The film's plot of searching, going through difficulties, solving difficulties, and surviving from a desperate situation shocked her.

"Maybe this movie will be a dark horse in the summer file!"

This idea suddenly appeared in her mind.

...

What Chen Yun didn't expect was that he accidentally watched a movie live, but the domestic reporters caught the topic. The next day, the Internet began to be filled with all kinds of news about the screening of "Barbosa" in the United States.

True or false, some say it hits the street, and some say it has received rave reviews, each sticking to their own words makes the audience confused.

Most netizens may feel more anticipation when they read these news, maybe they just watched it, but as the producer of "Great Earthquake", Huayi Pictures will not take it lightly.

After Feng Xiaogang saw the news the next day, he felt uneasy. He went to Wang Zhongjun's office and asked how "Barbosa" was in the US.

Hua Yi must have researched these news.

As an older generation of Chinese filmmakers, they all have a heart, that is to let domestic films go global, and the most important thing is to enter the North American market. But this wish, after several generations of efforts, still failed to come true.

Could it be that this fluffy boy would find another way?

Naturally, Wang Zhongjun also paid attention to the performance of "Barbosa" in North America, and comforted Feng Dapao not to worry, "I heard that the word-of-mouth is good, but are there few examples of domestic screenings with word-of-mouth but no box office in recent years? I think the key point is to put In China. Although the other party has the support of Wanda Cinemas, we have the support of the entire Beijing circle, so we must be foolproof.”?
