My Online Dating Partner Is a Celebrity - Vol 18 Chapter 351

“I never thought that the movie could be shot like this. Yu Jiaolong’s movements look so cool…”

Randy thought with emotion as he rubbed the goose bumps on his arm to make them disappear as quickly as possible.

Chinese martial arts movies, this type of movie used to be nothing more than a foreign vocabulary for him to read. He never thought about seeing it, let alone a similar concept. He thought that “Chinese Martial Arts” was just an action movie where a group of Chinese people hacked each other with swords.

However, at this moment, the chase scene between Yu Jiaolong and Yu Xiulian completely changed his mind.

Martial arts are not hacking, nor are they fighting.

It is pleasing to the eye, and only Chinese martial arts movies can give him a visual enjoyment.

“This is just the beginning, what will happen next?”

After rubbing for a long time, Randy finally smoothed the goose bumps on his arm, but he already realized that these goose bumps might appear more than once.

And the next plot, just as he expected.

Yu Xiulian’s eighteen weapons confronted Yu Jiaolong’s Qingming sword, Yu Jiaolong and Li Mubai’s battle in the bamboo forest, and even the fight between the blue-eyed fox and the Catcher. Every scene made him enjoyable.

Except that the fight between Yu Jiaolong and Luo Xiaohu looks unpretentious and unpretentious, every action scene in this entire movie makes Randy fascinated and unforgettable.

The two-hour movie has passed in the blink of an eye.

Randy looked at the ending caption and let out a long sigh of relief.

“This movie really has a completely different feeling.” Tom next to him seemed to come back to his senses at this moment, and sighed sincerely.

“A totally different feeling? What kind of totally different?” Randy didn’t understand Tom’s words.

Tom smiled and said, “Randy, do you remember “Kung Fu” that I highly recommend you to watch? In that movie, I saw the imagination of Chinese people. I thought that this movie might also be like “Kung Fu” “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” is the same, full of imagination and surprise. However, “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” is not like that. This movie is a pure martial arts movie, and all the elements in it are in martial arts. But compared to other martial arts movies, ” “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” is the ultimate.

“Especially the last bamboo forest battle, wow… I really didn’t think that people can stand on the bamboo branches and fight lightly. It’s… it’s amazing.”

Tom became interested in Chinese movies because of “Kung Fu”. The fantastic pictures and strange tricks in “Kung Fu” made him fascinated. He thought that “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” would be the same, however, “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” conquered him from another angle with an almost unpretentious and beautiful picture.

This was something he didn’t expect, but it also made him extremely admired.

“”Kung Fu”…” Randy was lost in thought when he heard Tom’s words.

“What do you think of the movie “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon”? Looks like you should like it very much, otherwise you should have run away.” Tom finished with emotion and asked Randy back.

“Very…different from Hollywood.” Randy didn’t have that much to say. He got goosebumps that disappeared, and it represented everything he wanted to say.

“Then you still think the Chinese movie is not interesting?” Tom asked again.

Randy didn’t speak, just shook his head.

“Guess how much box office this movie can sell?” Tom saw Randy keeping his remaining “reserved” and smiled and asked a less relevant question.

“How many box offices did “Kung Fu” have at the time?” Randy asked instead of answering directly.

“It seems to be about 100 million? I don’t know too much.” Tom said casually.

“Then I think “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” may be able to win more.” Randy said.

“How much more?”

“Two hundred million, three hundred million, or even… four hundred million.”

“How do you feel that you have more confidence in “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” than I do?” Tom asked in surprise.

“It’s not confidence, it’s just eyes.” Randy said.

“What do you mean?” Tom didn’t understand.

“Look…” Randy said, pointing around.

The two had already followed the crowd out of the projection hall and into the hall of the theater. There are many people coming and going around, coming out and going in. Most of the movies discussed by those who passed by Tom and Randy were “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon”.

Some people sighed with emotion in the movie, hoping to learn the skill of flying over the walls; some wanted to get the sword of the green underworld that cuts iron like mud; some people are discussing what the movie “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” is about. What is a story…

Everyone talked about different topics and points, but the same thing was that the movies they discussed were “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon”.

“With so many people discussing this movie, will the box office of “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” still be low?” Randy said to Tom.

“You make sense. Let’s go!” Tom nodded and motioned for Randy to leave the cinema.

“Where to go?” Randy asked.

“Aren’t you going to play basketball? Now is the time to play at night.” Tom reminded.

“No, I won’t play today.” Randy vetoed the basketball activities he had said before watching the movie.

“Stop fighting? What are you going to do next?” Tom wondered.

“I want to go back and see the “Kung Fu” that you have always recommended me to watch.” Randy said.

Tom suddenly said in surprise: “You finally got the hang of it!”

…

There are many Americans like Randy who are “open to heart”, and their scale is even larger than the original “Kung Fu”.

Although “Kung Fu” was also distributed by Tulun Pictures, its publicity scale is unmatched by the current “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon”; and because the Chinese film has not been popular in the United States for many years, “Kung Fu” has a box office. In the eyes of the Americans, it is relatively low (but the box office of around 100 million is enough to shock the Chinese people).

And now, there has been a well-received “Kung Fu” as a foreshadowing, and Tulun Pictures’ announcement of “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” is overwhelming, and it is not stingy. The scale of “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” is, Naturally it has risen in a straight line.

On that day, before the premiere, those who went to the theater to watch “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” were mostly “Kung Fu” fans like Tom, Chinese fans and passers-by audiences who were idle and were attracted by the publicity. The initial box office was not too low, but it was counted. No record-breaking existence.

On the day of its premiere, “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” had a box office of only 20 million dollars.

However, after the premiere, the box office of “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” began to get out of hand.

And this stems from the establishment of “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” on major film websites in the United States.

Take the most famous rotten tomato in the United States as an example. It is estimated that everyone has heard about the website Rotten Tomatoes. The so-called “tomato” is a sign of evaluation. If more than 60% of professional film critics give a good review to a movie, the film will receive the “Fresh Tomato” mark, which is “freshness”; if most critics give a bad review , The movie will receive the “Rotten Tomatoes” logo, indicating that the movie is not worth watching.

This is the evaluation standard of professional film critics. For ordinary audiences, the symbol of their evaluation is “popcorn.”

On the day of the premiere of “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon”, the freshness reached 91%, which is a very high evaluation for Chinese movies.

However, this evaluation is not new. Many Chinese-language movies that are fairly good have enough freshness.

What really makes sense for the box office is the popcorn index scored by the audience.

The popcorn index of “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” was only 70% on the first day; on the third day, it rose to 82%; when the first week of the release ended, the popcorn index of “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” reached An astonishing 87%!

This is a Chinese-language movie in this world, an unprecedented achievement!
