"The Bayi Flag Flying" will finally be released in mainland China at the end of July. According to Su Butong's opinion, it was screened on a small scale in several major cities before the release, and it received a good response, indicating that the market is still very promising.

With this flesh-and-blood film, Wang Yue and others have now put aside most of their previous worries.

But before the release, there were many naysayers. They believed that films made outside the system would not be able to resonate with the audience. These people trumpeted in newspapers how bad the film was, that the director was a monk by the wayside, and that the screenwriter was a literary hooligan.

Just imagine how good a movie produced by such a combination would be?

Many reporters learned that this movie was invested by Zhan Long, so they interviewed Su Butong.

Su Butong only responded with three sentences. "Experts don't say whether the movie is good or not. History is left to the people to choose, and this movie should be the same."

After the movie was released, Su Butong booked the theater and invited all Zhan Long to watch a movie in the cinema. Many employees walked out of the cinema with tears in their eyes after watching the movie. Lin Muyu cried so hard that her eye makeup was all gone.

Lin Muyu is now the goddess that many programmers at Zhanlong Company love and admire. When they see the goddess crying, many people want to come up to express their condolences. However, Lin Muyu pushes back with one sentence: "I'm in a bad mood.

Anyone who comes even one meter closer to me will have their monthly salary deducted." The people around him immediately disappeared.

It is said that Lin Muyu has received many love letters and love poems from programmers. However, I heard that Lin Muyu's young master from Beijing also came to the company door to block Lin Muyu, and they all turned red with Lin Muyu's venomous tongue.

According to Lao Wang, this is what Lin Muyu said to those young men in Beijing: "You are not as rich as Su Butong, not as handsome as him, not as stylish as him, not as highly educated as him, and not as happy as him. Why should I?"

Do you like you?"

Now most of the senior cadre circles know that Su Butong and Zhao Min have a somewhat unclear relationship, but Lin Muyu is also so enamored of Su Butong, which inevitably makes people think a lot. Many people come to Zhao Min for this.

With the wind blowing in his ears, Zhao Min was allowed to take the lead.

Zhao Min is more free and easy: "Su Butong also makes me feel very happy."

For a time, having fun became the mantra among senior officials.

"You make me feel so good." It means I have special abilities.

So when Zhang Yang asked Su Butong privately how to write the word "shuang", Su Butong, whose reputation was ruined by two women, replied angrily: "Go away."

Movie tickets at this time were not expensive either. A movie ticket costing 10 cents each was within the reach of most people.

The bigger splash came from various media reports. After all, this was the first mainland film with special effects produced by American Hollywood. They rushed to report on the American elements of this film. At this time, American films were still relatively rare in China, but unfortunately

This film has the blessing of American Hollywood, which made many viewers want to see what the special effects produced by Americans are like.

Due to the difficulty in calculating the box office, in the first month of release, Wang Yue, Feng Lei and others could only wait for the official media data to be compiled to see how much the box office would be. Their deepest expectation was that the film would have a national box office of 3 million. This is

The box office is already sky-high. As for how to make up for the shortfall in Su Butong's investment, Su Butong has already taken the lead. He will make up for the shortfall in investment, so they don't have to worry.

On August 2, the box office statistics came belatedly, and the data given by the official media was that the national box office was 10 million! This suddenly made Wang Yue and Feng Lei extremely excited. This was an unprecedented high box office.

This was a slap in the face to those experts who were not optimistic about the box office of the movie before its release, and silenced them all. To make matters worse, they provoked Wang Yue, a big gangster in the literary world. Wang Yue scolded in the newspaper and used data to speak.

These experts were scolded bloody.

This kind of battle is what the people like to see the most. Seeing the commotion in the newspapers, the people want to see what is going on in the movie. It doesn't matter, many people are still unsatisfied, often reading 2 times, 3 times, and 1 time.

Movie tickets have become a bit tight at this time.

European film producers took notice and came to Wang Yue and others to buy the film rights, and bought the broadcast rights for 500,000 francs. At this time, the investment in the film was repaid in RMB.

And being related to Su Butong is destined to be inseparable from the legend. One month after the film was released, it was widely rolled out to second- and third-tier cities across the country, and the total box office reached 30 million.

Then, it seemed that watching this movie became a trend. "August 1st Flag Flying" was repeatedly released in major theaters across the country for many rounds, and finally the total box office reached 100 million by the end of 1986.

Box office myth!

Even the Hong Kong media reported this.

With the per capita movie ticket costing less than a dime, "August 1st Flag Flying" has created many firsts in history.

The first war movie with a box office of over 100 million.

The first Chinese film with special effects produced by American Hollywood.

The first film to reflect on the Civil War...

Some foreign film critics commented: "The Chinese people have created an Asian film based on the Hollywood model that has attracted everyone's attention. This is an ambitious film that wants to compete with Hollywood films..."

In domestic film symposiums, many experts pointed out: "The reason why this film has been well received by the people is that it moves the camera downwards to reflect the blood and tears of civilians in the context of war, so as to move people and move people."

People. Beyond ideology, let people know what a great historical tragedy it is for brothers to stare at the wall."

Director Feng Lei said in an interview with the TV station: "In this movie, people may see more about how war changes people's lives and how they change themselves."

The American "Movie Review", as the most influential film magazine in North America, gave such a review. They believe that this movie is a movie that truly reflects the soul of the hero: "This movie depicts the war in a humanized way.

The characters, family affection comes first, allowing heroism to fully collide with human nature and family affection, creating an incomparable shock and making the audience cry. This is a milestone movie for China and Asia.

work."

One paragraph, the final conclusion, a landmark movie in China and Asia.

For a time, all the noise fell silent. In the palace of movies, Hollywood has the highest say in movies.
