Chapter 331: Double Harvest of Chu Ticket Office and Word of Mouth

At the beginning of the movie, Zhang Xiao's innocent and sunny face appeared in front of movie fans around the world, and many fans were amazed.

"What a pair of quick eyes!"

"Is this the same Zhang who plays the clown? This change is too big!"

"I have to admit, Zhang's acting skills are simply amazing."

"It's hard to combine him with the Joker, it's incredible."

“···”

These people invited by Disney were all experts in film. When they saw Zhang Xiao's acting skills that were completely different from those of the clown, they all whispered.

However, when the next scene appeared, when Zhang Xiao and Ling Ju greeted each other, the humorous lines, funny expressions and cheerful smiles made everyone couldn't help but smile.

A female commentator wrote a sentence in her notebook: 'Healing smile'.

The beginning of the movie mainly describes Zhang Xiao's ordinary and happy life, but soon after, a turning point occurs. Due to an oversight by the program team, Zhang Xiao saw his father who drowned, and he suddenly had great doubts in his heart.

Fortunately, the crew concocted a perfect reason to allow the resurrected father to get through. Then the extra Sylvia, whom Zhang Xiao fell in love with at first sight, suddenly appeared and gave him some kind hints, making him feel loved again.

Deep doubt.

Gradually, Zhang Xiao discovered many strange things, which made him begin to doubt the world he lived in.

At this point in the plot, the fans in the box where Zhang Xiao was sitting were completely immersed in the movie.

They finally understood why this movie was called "The Truman Show". When the male protagonist played by Zhang Xiao had a conflict with the female protagonist, and his wife shouted for help at the hidden camera, Zhang Xiao finally understood his

situation.

He began to search for his true dream and tried countless ways to leave this small town, but no matter how hard he tried, they all ended in failure.

In the end, Zhang Xiao used a trick to deceive the crew and secretly left the small town by sea. However, he desperately discovered that even the sea was part of the studio.

After passing through the big storm, Zhang Xiao finally reached the control room of the studio, only one step away from the real thing.

Director Tofi told him the whole story and told him that he was now the most popular star in the world and if he was willing to stay, he could continue to live his life as a star.

However, the male protagonist played by Zhang Xiao remained unmoved and resolutely opened the door.

Before leaving, Zhang Xiao suddenly looked back, showed a sunny smile, and said: "If I can never see you again, I wish you good morning, good afternoon, and good night."

The movie ends here.

The big screen went dark, and in addition to the lights, warm applause and screams rang out in the box.

Zhang Xiao and the crew stood on the stage and bowed to thank the more than 30 filmmakers who came to attend the premiere.

One of the most famous film commentators in the Lighthouse Country, Vincent clapped his hands and said: "Great movie, I smell the Oscar."

The commentator next to him also agreed: "This movie is indeed amazing. Mr. Vincent, how many points are you going to give this movie?"

Vincent said directly without thinking: "Full marks!"

The commentator said with surprise: "Are you kidding me?"

Vincent shook his head and said seriously: "I never joke about movies, man, just watch, this Zhang from China will definitely leave a big mark in the history of world cinema."

The commentator was stunned at first, as if he did not expect that Vincent would be so optimistic about Zhang Xiao.

After Zhang Xiao sent all the film critics out of the theater, he accepted an interview with reporters.

"Mr. Zhang, first of all, congratulations on the world premiere of "The Truman Show" directed by you today!" The reporter was polite at first.

Zhang Xiao smiled and said: "Thank you!"

The reporter continued to ask: "Mr. Zhang, I would like to ask, what do you think the global box office of "The Truman Show" will be?"

Zhang Xiao didn’t even think about it and said straightforwardly: “Of course I hope the more the better!”

"Can you give me an accurate number?" The reporter was not fooled by Zhang Xiao's haha ​​and continued to ask.

Zhang Xiao smiled and said: "Then five hundred million US dollars!"

"Wow! If a literary film can earn 500 million U.S. dollars at the box office, that would be really amazing. Why are you so confident?" The reporter first exclaimed and then asked.

Zhang Xiao confidently replied: "Of course it's the quality of our movie. I think The Truman Show is a classic and will leave a huge mark in the history of Hollywood movies."

"Then I wish you good luck." The reporter said with a smile.

Obviously, he still thinks that Zhang Xiao is a bit boastful. Let alone the literary and artistic films directed by Chinese people, it is very difficult for even the literary and artistic films by big Hollywood directors to reach 500 million U.S. dollars at the box office.

After "The Truman Show" premiered, it received a lot of praise around the world, with a freshness rating of 93.9% on Rotten Tomatoes.

But basically all fans who have watched this movie have their own opinions.

"Top story, top director, top actors, I give "The Truman Show" full marks."

"A non-horror film that's incredibly scary."

"It's simply too scary. If I were Truman, I would definitely go crazy!"

"Movies are afraid of sunlight, but I felt fear from the bottom of my heart."

"This is an unparalleled black drama film, I simply love it to death."

“···”

As word-of-mouth gradually spread, countless movie fans entered the theater to watch this literary and artistic version of "The Truman Show."

This is true in the North American market, not to mention China, which is Zhang Xiao's home base.

Countless fans of Zhang Xiao have already been waiting for this movie to compete for Oscars.

The box office of Jade Hands before its premiere alone has reached 400 million. You must know that the production and promotion cost of "The Truman Show" was only 45 million US dollars.

After watching the movie, many domestic movie fans also received rave reviews, even crazier than those abroad.

"Xiao Shen is so awesome, Truman is so awesome."

"After watching some science fiction movies, and then watching this movie, I always felt like I was Truman, being monitored all the time."

"When Truman opened the door in the movie, I didn't know why, but my tears flowed out unsatisfactorily."

"I finally understand why Xiao Shen used it to compete for the Oscars."

"I feel like the Oscars for Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actor are all beckoning to Xiao Shen!"

"Great work, great Xiao Shen."
