Chapter 561 - All Eyes On - Crazy Praise(1/2)
Chapter 561 Everyone’s Attention—Crazy Praise
One week after Zhou Shaoming's "Detective" was released globally, both box office results and word-of-mouth have created a miracle in North America in April!
The release of this movie caused a small wave to appear in the cold North American market in April 2005! Following this small wave!
After the movie "Detective" achieved world-renowned results, it received overwhelming praise!
This praise is not only received by the media, but also gathered through the media. Whether it is media reporters, film critics and observers, as well as audiences who have watched the movie, they all gave it extremely high praise!
At this moment in 2005, almost half a year has passed, and no Hollywood movie has received such high treatment!
Just one week after its release in North America, Detective has grossed over 100 million at the box office, ranking first in the North American weekly rankings, and even beat out the film Violence City, which was released at the same time!
No one dares to believe that at this moment, the movie shot by Zhou Shaoming can reach such a level. Not to mention the excellent reputation, even the box office results have created a miracle! Regarding Zhou Shaoming's growth, many film critics have called "Smith"
Director Zhou’s talent is really surprising!”
After the movie Detective exceeded the box office mark of over 100 million in just one week, the next day, Zhou Shaoming became the star on the cover of a weekly magazine!
"From 2000 to 2004, we have never seen such an influential movie!" New York Daily News
From 2000 to 2003, the Lord of the Rings series of movies dominated the North American movie market. No matter in terms of reputation or box office performance, no other movie can compete with it!
At that time, Zhou Shaoming also made movies such as "The Fuse", but their box office results were only comparable to those of The Lord of the Rings movies. But in terms of reputation, it was impossible to surpass The Lord of the Rings!
With the films in the Lord of the Rings series dominating the Oscars, in the North American film market, for a long time, no film has been able to both excel at the box office and become a film worthy of praise in the public's eyes!
In 2004, Zhou Shaoming also released highly acclaimed films such as "Untouchable" and "Dolphin Cove". However, the scope of influence of such films is very small after all, and the lack of control in theaters has become a flaw for these two films!
These two films, which only had some response among small audiences, ultimately achieved limited results!
After the release of "League of Assassins", the global box office hit the 500 million mark. With the shocking scenes and unique stunts of this movie, it became a movie that people talked about for a while! But after all, there are limits!
"After Peter has dominated the Oscars for three consecutive years with the Lord of the Rings series of films, we once again see a great director, that is Director Smith Chow! Detective's work fully embodies the work of Director Smith Chow
His outstanding talent! I believe that in the near future, Director Smith Zhou may become another outstanding director in the Oscars like Peter! Or he can surpass Director Peter!" New York Observation Room St. Peter commentator
While people are still immersed in the high box office of Detective, more and more people are full of expectations for the future of director Zhou Shaoming! Because Zhou Shaoming has brought unexpected box office results to the North American film market time and time again,
When the film itself becomes more and more connotative!
People's focus is on Zhou Shaoming, and they are full of praise for this promising director!
"A young director, through his own efforts, has gradually become proficient in film shooting. Through the movie Detective, we can clearly see that this director has won the prize and is at the forefront of the director ranks, becoming a great director!
He is Director Smith Chow! This talented director once again proved his directorial talent! This talent allows us to see a creative director, and it also allows us to see Director Smith Chou gradually reaching the pinnacle of world directors.
!" New York Observer Andrew
This overwhelming praise did not end. After the film critics came forward one after another, the media's exposure rate for Zhou Shaoming at this time basically reached 100%!
The work "Detective" has been questioned by most media since the beginning of filming! This doubt is understandable, after all, the crew brought by Zhou Shaoming at that time went to Hong Kong for filming!
"A big-name Hollywood director actually went to Hong Kong to shoot a Hong Kong-style movie. Is he out of his mind? I really don't understand what our director Smith Chow was thinking?" Hollywood Reporter Anderson
Zhou Shaoming slowly devoted his energy to filming the well-known film. After selecting the detective script, he traveled across the ocean to Hong Kong! As one of the gold medal directors in Hollywood, he is among the most influential directors in the world! But he gave up.
The great market in North America comes to Hong Kong to shoot Hong Kong-style movies! I don’t intend to make people feel that this director has exhausted his talent!
"Smith seems to have fallen into a passive situation, because most of the films released in North America in 2004 failed at the box office and only gained a good reputation. For these, perhaps we, a former Hollywood actor, failed at the box office.
Directors with monstrous talents have begun to return to their own country to develop! Smith and Zhou have exhausted their talents and are paving the way for themselves to seek development in the Chinese film market! "Wall Street Journal
Countless media outlets have reported on this kind of thing one after another. It was also because at that time, the Golden Globe Awards and Oscars were about to be held in the United States. Perhaps such news was just a smoke and mirrors for most viewers and they passed by at a glance!
After all, on such an important day for the Oscars, no one would pay too much attention to the news about a movie that has not yet been released! This lack of attention also prevented the negative news about Zhou Shaoming from having too much impact at the time!
To this day, when Zhou Shaoming's Detective was released a week later, perhaps even the media reporters themselves have forgotten how to predict the future of Detective at that time!
"Detective?" A movie like this can only be released in Hong Kong and even China. Even if it is directed by director Smith Chow, no one will be optimistic about it in the Hollywood circle. I believe that such a movie will not be released for a week and will be released in theaters.
Offline!" New York Observation Room
For those who have been engaged in the film and television industry, whether it is the media or film critics, even before Zhou Shaoming's "The Detective" was released, it was as if it was a death sentence!
However, as this movie comes to the world in a global release mode, no one will remember the doubts about Zhou Shaoming before and after the American Film Awards!
These doubtful reports are like stagnant water on the Internet, sinking into the sea! It is difficult to find such reports now!
"There is no doubt that although this movie has only been released for a week, it is enough to show the talent of director Smith Chou! There are not many Hollywood directors who can shoot a movie to such an extent! He can't help but be one of the top Hollywood directors.
The youngest and most outstanding director. He is also the first person to reach the pinnacle of directing!" USA Today
Reports in many well-known magazines and newspapers have made Zhou Shaoming visible everywhere, and the praises are overwhelming! Walking in the streets and alleys, you can see the most famous radio station in the United States, CBA, interviewing Zhou Shaoming that day!
This is one of the most well-known radio stations in the United States. When Zhou Shaoming was invited to talk about the work of Detective, even Zhou Shaoming looked a little flattered!
Once upon a time, when Zhou Shaoming stepped into the Oscar for Best Director Award, he felt like this!
However, a few years later, when Zhou Shaoming's work "Detective" once again appeared in North America with overwhelming good news, Zhou Shaoming felt a little overwhelmed by the long absence!
This feeling has been accompanied by the past few years of stumbling in Hollywood. First, the movie "The Fuse" was a hit, but when it came to "The Lord of the Rings", not only "The Fuse"'s high box office results seemed useless, but after comparison with "The Lord of the Rings", people started to think of Zhou Shaoming.
question!
A Hollywood gold medal director, a former Oscar winner, has made such a film with no connotation! He can only achieve such results by relying on his own appeal!!
This voice of accusation and criticism was like a heavy blow to Zhou Shaoming! With the Oscars, The Lord of the Rings dominated the Oscars and became the only winner among the eleven nominations in Hollywood! At that moment, Zhou Shaoming was deeply moved.
Realize!
He has been filming commercial blockbusters. If he doesn't make progress, he will eventually be eliminated by the Hollywood circle and abandoned by the audience!
Large amounts of investment and magnificent shooting scenes are no longer the only requirements of the audience! As technology becomes more and more advanced, the emergence of The Matrix has brought film stunts to the fullest!
With such a background, Zhou Shaoming found that the films he shot generally lacked some connotation and depth!
When the era of Lord of the Rings comes to an end, Zhou Shaoming once again musters up his courage. This former Oscar winner for Best Director will once again surpass himself!
In mid-2004, Zhou Shaoming did not hesitate to give up the big cake of box office performance and filmed two movies, "Untouchable" and "Dolphin Cove"!
Although the box office results are pitifully lower than those of previous films shot and released! But Zhou Shaoming knows in his heart that for him, this is the only way to go!
If you want to improve yourself, you must find a support point for shooting in-depth movies! After having the experience of shooting Inaccessible and Dolphin Cove!
Zhou Shaoming then incorporated more of his own ideas into the film!
"League of Assassins" is an attempt. Some people can't help but ask, is this a commercial blockbuster?
Indeed, for everyone, the movie Assassin is a wonderful commercial blockbuster, but for Zhou Shaoming himself, this movie is more of an attempt to put his own unique concept into the movie!
Survival of the strong and survival of the fittest is the law of survival in society! But after all, before a strong person becomes a strong person, he is still a weak person!
Zhou Shaoming is not a weakling, but in the big family of Hollywood, Zhou Shaoming is not the only one who stands at the pinnacle of directors!
As the influence of The Lord of the Rings continued to expand in North America, and after being directed by Peter, an experienced director, he captured the hearts of all kinds of people, at his peak, he finally won the Oscar at the Oscars with the movie Lord of the Rings 3.
It proves everything! The strength of a great director in Hollywood!
Compared with Zhou Shaoming, there is still a long way to go, but Zhou Shaoming is not discouraged and works hard step by step! Although the movie Detective cannot be compared with The Lord of the Rings! But for Zhou Shaoming, whether it is box office performance or reputation, it is
A huge improvement!
This improvement is accumulated through countless efforts behind it!
Perhaps no one would believe that the director who once stood on the Oscar podium would have such hard work! But Hollywood is such a competitive stage. Failure to make progress means regressing, and you will be gradually eliminated by this stage!
The success of the movie "The Detective" is not how high the box office results are, but the fact that the movie caters to a wide range of audience groups. It is no longer limited to young office workers and school students, but more various groups of people have watched the movie.
Everyone has their own feelings!
Countless feelings added up to achieve the brilliance of this movie at this moment!
"Director Smith Zhou? This is the first time I have written down the name of this director. I have seen him many times, but unfortunately I don't have too many memories of his movies! Until the movie Detective appeared! Let me not forget this.
How can a person who loves commenting be willing to write his own thoughts about a movie for the first time!" netizen Kidd wrote!
"As a viewer, it is rare to see such a meaningful and real movie in the theater! Although the scene is foreign, for this movie, it is not enough to affect my mood while watching it! The relationship between the characters
The relationship is tight and worthy of scrutiny, especially the discussion of human nature in it, which made me extremely impressed! This movie also left a deep impression on me about director Smith Zhou. I hope that our director can make better movies.
,Towards higher achievements!”
"This is the most perfect movie in my heart, with a perfect screenwriter! Everyone has their own character weaknesses! When Gao Zhiwei killed Wang Guozhu in the forest, he lost himself, and He Jiaan lost himself in the gun grab plan
.The original character began to be exposed! And the detective Chen Guibin found himself again through relevant situations! I would like to ask if you have found your lost self?" netizen Lan Feng wrote!
""The Detective" is a magical movie. This film has no intention to discuss reality and illusion, what is reality and what is illusion. I believe that Smith Chow, as a Hollywood blockbuster director, will not do it in the film! For "The Detective"
Ho Ka On, Gao Zhiwei and Chen Guibin made this movie full of suspense, until the final moment when Ho Ka On An's demon appears. Until the round where the gun is changed, people will remember it deeply!" Netizen Dengfeng said
For viewers who have watched this movie, in this week’s movie reviews, they all wrote down their own understanding of the movie and discussed it!
There are hundreds of thousands of these movie reviews restored on the Yahoo website alone, and today, when the movie Detective has exceeded 100 million in box office, it has become one of the hot topics in North America!
"Oh my god, the movie "Detective" actually exceeded the 100 million mark within a week. It's really gratifying! I have been following this movie and introducing it to my colleagues and friends!"
"This talented director Smith Zhou seems to have once again made a sensation in the North American film market. When I sat in front of the computer desk, I already started to praise Zhou Shaoming in all kinds of ways, and I left a message to celebrate!"
Congratulations from the audience came one after another, like cannonballs, circulating on the Internet!
After the media and filmmakers reported it one after another, when the audience saw the news about Director Smith Zhou in the media early in the morning, they suddenly understood!
This day is an unusual day. As April 8th approaches, the overwhelming praise warms the hearts of the audience! While people are still immersed in the perfect plot of the detective, it seems to be a film made by God!
