Chapter 686 "Thai Embarrassment" is here!

"Why is there no trailer scene in this movie? It's the part that the shemale talks about Savadika."

"Yes, that one is quite funny, but even without that one, this movie is pretty good. The tickets this time are really worth it."

"Xu Zheng, Wang Baoqiang, and Huang Bo are so funny. I find that all three of them are weird."

"How do you think the heroine of this movie is calculated? Is it Xiao Tao Hong or Fan Bingbing?"

"I really didn't expect that Jae Bingbing would actually appear in the end. It was so surprising!"

"Especially with the music of "Return of the Condor Heroes", Master Sai was so beautiful! He was so goddess! He didn't know what Fan Xiaopang was doing in this movie before, and what the promotional party did!"

Another audience member opposed, "I think this is a very successful marketing. If I knew in advance that Fan Bingbing was there, would she be the stunning surprise when she appeared in the final show? I'm afraid not. This movie was released by Shuimu Investment, and their promotional and distribution skills have always been good."

Before the movie was screened, the promotion of "Lost in Thailand" never mentioned Na Bingbing. This is a secret weapon of the producer. Now it seems that it has done a miraculous effect. The audience who have watched it said that the baby's counterattack was a surprise in the end, and the overall "laughing fruit" of the movie is very good. The three pistachios produced a very wonderful chemical reaction. Now those who have watched the game in advance on the Internet affectionately call them the three great embarrassing gods.

Now the three great embarrassing gods are taking the film to previews in major cities across the country. Every place they go is full, and the laughter continues to spread, and praise continues to be heard. The most funny thing in the film is the baby played by Baoqiang. Although Gao Bo played by Huang Bo has few scenes, the laughter is also great. The laughter is frequent, but Xu Zheng's role in the film is not as good as the two above. However, because of his identity as a director, the most discussed film is the new film director.

The market feedback in advance was very good. Although "Lost in Thailand" is just a medium-cost movie, and the cost of production is only 30 million, Shuimu Forest is still actively communicating with every theater. He hopes to win a good schedule on the first day. He Mu boldly predicted that this movie could win a box office of 300 million, but many people in the company didn't believe it. He thought the boss was a bit overestimated by Xu Zheng and the other three, but now it seems that even if there is no 300 million, 200 million should not be difficult. Not all new directors are He Mu. Xu Zheng's box office results of 200 million is enough to attract more investors to invest in his director's works.

"Lost in Thailand" was originally scheduled to be released on December 21. I would rather be closer to our company's "Panda Burning Incense" than to avoid Cheng Long's fashion treasure-stealing action blockbuster "The Twelve Zodiacs". However, as December approached, "The Twelve Zodiacs", which was originally scheduled for December 12, suddenly moved the schedule to December 20. On the surface, it meant to buy more time for "1942" to ensure that "1942" can stay on the imax screen for a while, but in fact, this extension of the schedule has forced "Lost in Thailand" to a dead end.

If "Lost in Thailand" and "The Twelve Zodiacs" were released only one day apart. Not to mention which movie the audience prefers, there is no need to think about how the theaters will treat the two movies. One is an action blockbuster created by international superstar Cheng Long, and the other is a small production carnival of three famous and unpopular comedians, and the result is obvious.

In order to seek a glimmer of life and not be suppressed by the "Twelve Zodiacs", under the wise instructions of his boss He Mu, "Lost in Thailand" decisively advanced to the 12.12 that "Two Zodiacs" abandoned. This day is actually good. "Two, two" reflects a comedy attitude. The audience has had enough of the poison of gloomy films such as "The King's Feast" and "1942", and urgently needs a comedy movie to bring some positive energy to themselves, so "Lost in Thailand" debuted brightly in advance.

At this time, Feng Xiaogang's misery blockbuster "1942" and Lu Chuan's costume blockbuster "The King's Feast" have been released in the third week.

"The King's Feast" is basically aborted. It's the third week, and the box office is only about 70 million. With such a large investment, so many first-tier celebrities, and such a long operating cycle, it is also hard to make efforts. However, it is far inferior to the previous "Hongmen Banquet". Even the literary youth is reluctant to applaud. Lu Chuan was the favorite of Douban in the past. Xingmei must have suffered a lot in this movie. They can only hope that the "Blood Drop" which is directed by Liu Weiqiang, which brings together popular idols such as Huang Xiaoming, Li Yuchun, and Ruan Jingtian, can win a game.

The situation in "1942" is slightly better. After all, the background of Feng Xiaogang and Huayi brothers is not comparable to that of Lu Chuan and Xingmei, and the quality of "1942" is really not true. If Feng Xiaogang had not been ungrateful and had sex with netizens online, the reputation of this movie would have been better, but even if the reputation is better, a blockbuster about human nature is inappropriate in the happy New Year holiday. People still like Xiaogang Cannon to bring Mr. Ge to celebrate the New Year with him.

"1942" and "The King's Feast" are not satisfactory, but Ang Lee's work "The Fantasy Drift of Pi" released earlier has unexpectedly been strong to the present. Although the filming is not as good as "1942", there is no IMAX version, only ordinary 3D, and it is also a movie with Indian boys as the male lead and almost only one human character in the whole film. Chinese people have never liked such movies, but even in this situation where internal and external conditions are not favorable, "The Young Pi" has always been the first in attendance and the first in daily box office. Now the box office of the film has successfully exceeded 500 million, and has won three weekly championships, temporarily ranking sixth in the annual box office, which is a big surprise in the film market this year.

Then the bigger surprise below will be triggered. No, it should not be called a surprise, it should be a shock.

On December 12, with the repeated efforts of Shuimu, "Lost in Thailand" won 34.2% of the national screening on the first day of its release, "Youth Pi" ranked second with 23%, and "1942" ranked third. Although this film is not as good as "Zi Buyu 2" and "1942" released, it is also considered a quasi-blockbuster treatment. If "Lost in Thailand" competes for some excitement, it should be able to maintain this relatively high screening before the arrival of "The Twelve Zodiacs" and "Blood Drops".

"How is it, are you nervous?" He Mu asked Xu Zheng, as a friend, He Mu invited Xu Zheng to his house as a guest on the premiere day. Every once in a while, they could receive feedback from some Shuimu distributors in major cinemas across the country.

"My mentality is very calm, because I know that with the previous preparation and current popularity, this movie will not be compensated at least," Xu Zheng smiled shyly, "Maybe I can get a good share." (To be continued...)
