Superstars In Parallel Time and Space

The sudden release of "Speed ​​Car" did cause some discussions among everyone.

It's really this time, it's so ingenious!

"Is this intentional sniping?"

"Interesting, Chen Mubai seems to be being attacked all the time~"

"This is Statham's movie. This movie has been in production for two years, and now it's finally about to be released. I'm looking forward to it!"

"I am optimistic about "Iron Man", I have a hunch that "Speed ​​Car" will be exploded badly..."

"MGM is a bit stupid. It's obvious that "Iron Man" is very popular during this time, and their promotion time is not as long as "Iron Man". Why do you think that "Iron Man" will definitely be able to beat "Iron Man"?"

Netizens in the United States actually don't quite understand MGM's operations.

Not long after that, a new soft article appeared. A well-known user compared "Iron Man" and "Speed ​​Car" in various aspects on the Book.

From the starring lineup to the amount of investment to the director, actors, and the number of awards and the recent box office of the movie, everyone found that the team of "Speed ​​Car" was completely defeated!

Even Statham, who has debuted for many years, has no higher box office than Chen Mubai!

It was only then that everyone discovered how fast Chen Mubai's rise was. In just a few years, he surpassed Statham, who debuted for decades, and is still a Hollywood superstar!

Looking back at the results of each of Chen Mubai's works, everyone realizes that he seems to be very productive all the time!

This time the comparison, on the contrary, brought Statham's status down from the altar, and Chen Mubai's status was elevated again!

As the news fermented, MGM couldn't sit still anymore, and all sorts of things began to wash the ground and divert the conflict...

Huaxia supported Chen Mubai overwhelmingly, and some people even shouted "Boycott "Speed ​​Pioneer" and Statham."

The two sides officially began to compete!

 …

Under the eyes of everyone, a month passed quickly.

This month, the popularity of "Iron Man" has dropped slightly. After all, the popularity is too high, and there are only a few posters and trailers for the movie. After watching it for a long time, everyone will feel fatigued, so naturally they will not be so enthusiastic.

That's what gave the rest of the movie a break,

Those movies got some exposure and they all thought it was too easy...

"Iron Man" is officially released on the first day of the Lunar New Year!

In the cinema hall, every show of "Iron Man" was fully booked, and there were no seats left!

Even in theaters in some bustling cities, tickets cannot be bought for a day's shows, and the popularity of movies is unprecedented!

On New Year's Eve, Chen Mubai spent time at Tao Qingchao's house, and the four of them had a New Year's Eve dinner together.

The atmosphere during the dinner was harmonious, as if they had become a real family.

"Today, shall we watch the Spring Festival Gala together?" Tao Yaoyao proposed with a smile.

"Okay!" Tao Qingchao smiled kindly.

In the past, he and Tao Yaoyao were the only ones to accompany each other during the Chinese New Year in this family. Qin Qiu would also go back to his home and occasionally celebrate the New Year with them.

After the two were officially together, Qin Qiu officially moved in here, and there was no need to go back during the Spring Festival. Tao Qingchao would accompany her back to celebrate the New Year.

Now, there are four members of their family, and it is considered much more lively.

Perhaps in the near future, Chen Mubai and Tao Yaoyao will have a child, and then it will be even more lively.

Tao Qingchao's smile deepened when he thought of the time spent in caring for his life in the future. He likes this kind of family warmth.

In the past, I couldn't ask for it, but now not only the family is warm, but my daughter's happiness for the rest of her life is also available. As a father, this is the scene I am most happy to see.

The program is not important, what is important is the warm feeling of being together as a family.

"How's the situation in America?" Tao Qingchao asked Chen Mubai.

"It's almost over."

Chen Mubai knew that Tao Qingchao was asking about the online public opinion and propaganda war with "Speed ​​Car".

"The advantage is great." Chen Mubai added.

Tao Qingchao said with a smile: "That's good, if there is something I need to do, just ask."

"Thank you uncle, I will speak up if necessary." Chen Mubai said politely.

Regardless of whether the other party can help or not, it is enough to have this heart.

"In Huaxia, you will definitely crush him to death, playing at home and with the support of the people."

Tao Qingchao said with a smile: "You don't need to be so pressured. This matter is also very popular in China. The higher authorities let the matter ferment, but they are actually supporting you in disguise. The public opinion is on your side. When the movie is released, your box office will be higher."

There is no doubt that anything can trigger the enthusiasm of the movie, and at the same time, it can be fed back to the box office.

The provocation of "Speed ​​Car" this time, coupled with the resistance of the domestic people's sentiments, everyone will support "Iron Man" while boycotting this movie.

In fact, it is said to be watching TV, and most of the time is spent chatting.

"It's 12 o'clock, let's set off the firecrackers!" Tao Yaoyao and Qin Qiu said together.

Chen Mubai and Tao Qingchao were chatting just now, and they were also chatting to make room for Weng and his son-in-law.

"Give it to Mubai this year." Tao Qingchao said with a smile.

"No problem!" Chen Mubai stood up and took over the job.

Soon, the firecrackers were fired by him.

"Slap..."

As the fireworks exploded in the dark night sky, colorful lights flashed, and the brilliant light illuminated the night sky, as if the whole city was immersed in the sound of firecrackers.

The new year is here!

"Dad, go to bed early." Tao Yaoyao said happily, "Tomorrow we have to go to the movies together!"

"I'm looking forward to the premiere of "Iron Man" too." Qin Qiu said with a smile.

Tao Qingchao looked at Tao Yaoyao curiously and asked, "Haven't you seen it?"

After the film is completed, the company has the original film, and sometimes organizes screenings, so that the management can see the finished film in advance.

Although Tao Yaoyao is not a member of Mubai Entertainment, but with her relationship with Chen Mubai, it is not difficult to watch the movie ahead of time.

Tao Yaoyao shook her head and said, "No."

"I didn't watch it on purpose, and waited for us to watch it together. Otherwise, if I watch it first, there won't be such a surprise~"

Chen Mubai said at this time: "Except for me, few people have watched it. The company will bring employees to watch the movie for free this year. Everyone is waiting for the premiere to join in."

Tao Qingchao nodded: "I really should support it. This movie has far-reaching significance. I haven't seen any news related to it this month. The higher-ups also attach great importance to it!"

People at his level can naturally see that this movie is so popular that even the official media is speaking out, and allowing "Speed ​​Car" to become a stepping stone for "Iron Man", it can be seen that the higher authorities attach great importance to this matter.

 …

first day.

"There are quite a lot of people."

Tao Qingchao and his party went to the cinema to watch a movie after breakfast.

Strictly speaking, this is the first time that they haven't really done something together.

Because of the relationship between Chen Mubai and Tao Yaoyao, the four of them disguised themselves to avoid being recognized.

They were wearing masks, but they weren't too noticeable. After all, the flu was severe this season, and many people would wear masks in densely populated places to avoid being infected.

With the current influence of the two of them, once they are recognized, the place will be surrounded instantly!

The popularity of "Iron Man" is so high, Chen Mubai is still at the scene, and the emotional crowd will naturally not let him go...

"Indeed, there are quite a few. With the improvement of living standards, more and more people are used to going to these places for consumption during holidays." Qin Qiu said looking at the bustling crowd.

"In the past few years, the box office of Spring Festival movies has been getting higher and higher, which shows that everyone's demand for cultural works is increasing. From another level, it also shows that everyone attaches great importance to the quality of film and television works. The industry will become more standardized. Movies can no longer garner money in such a grandiose way as before."

Qin Qiu looked at Chen Mubai and said with a smile: "A large part of the credit for this is due to you. Your appearance has changed some wind direction."

Chen Mubai was embarrassed by the praise: "No, I just did what I should do. The development of any industry is barbaric at the beginning, but after a certain level, it will become standardized. I can only say that I happen to be Appearing during this period may have some influence, but it is by no means the key."

Qin Qiu chuckled: "You underestimate your own influence."

Afterwards, she pointed to the "Iron Man" trailer that was playing on TV and a huge poster occupying the center of the theater, and said, "Look, these things are the best proof, how much attention is paid to this movie, just How much I value you."

"In the eyes of the public, you are hope. Your work makes everyone look forward to it, and they are willing to pay for your work. This is the word-of-mouth accumulated by your many works."

Chen Mubai scanned the crowd.

Even in the morning, when the cinema has just opened, there are already many people waiting, and the ticket sales line is very long.

There are the most young people at the scene. After all, parents and elders prepare meals at home during festivals. Young people take advantage of this time to come out and have fun. They usually want to help, but they will be disgusted by their parents, thinking that they will hinder them from doing things... ..

It's just that the parents said the disgusting words with a smile, mainly to let the children have a rest. Whether they are students or have already worked, they have worked hard enough on weekdays, and they finally have a holiday. Naturally, they will not let them do things. I just hope They take more rest.

The mother who travels thousands of miles is worried that the Spring Festival is a rare opportunity for family reunion. The love of parents is never vigorous, but is reflected in these ordinary things.

Among the ten young people, at least seven or more chose "Iron Man".

In Chen Mubai's ears, he heard a lot of buying tickets for "Iron Man". While waiting, everyone was discussing this movie excitedly.

"I've been waiting for a long time, and finally I can see it, so excited~"

"I watch the trailer every day. When I wear armor and fly in the sky, I'm so handsome!"

"My idol is Chen Mubai, I'm here to support him~"

"China's first sci-fi film, no matter what, we must support it, and hope to start the first year of sci-fi!"

"I think "Iron Man" is definitely going to be popular. This month's popularity is overwhelming. I can see relevant pushes every day, and I can also see the interview content of Chen Mubai's show. I really feel that this movie is not easy to make. Even a prop It cost millions of dollars to make..."

Young people are more energetic, and their excitement can be seen. It can be seen from their expressions and actions that many people really like Chen Mubai and came to support this movie.

Chen Mubai saw a family of three coming to the cinema to watch a movie, the parents brought their children.

The child pointed to the poster of "Iron Man" and said loudly: "Dad, let's watch this!"

The man frowned and said, "What superhero movie are you watching? This one is for children. You are already a junior high school student, so you can't be so naive anymore."

"Who says it's childish? Our classmates are all discussing this movie, and everyone says it must be very good!" The boy retorted very unconvinced.

At this time, the boy's mother said: "Just watch this, Chen Mubai's movie, I also saw a lot of movie clips on Weishi, it should be quite interesting."

"And colleagues around me are also discussing this movie, and everyone's interest is quite high."

"...Okay, let's just do this." Seeing his wife and children insisting, the man agreed.

Soon, the voice of "Iron Man" was sold out in the theater, and it was only ten minutes later, and there were no tickets at all!

Some people bought movie tickets online in advance, and they have already seized some seats. In addition, there were many people who came to the scene to buy tickets. Many people still bought a lot of tickets at once, so the tickets were sold out in an instant.

During the Spring Festival, many people watch movies together as a family. Movie tickets sell out quickly and the box office is very high.

"There are indeed a lot of people here. Fortunately, we have tickets, otherwise we may not be able to buy them." Tao Qingchao looked at many people and sighed because they didn't get tickets, and said with emotion.

There are still many people queuing up, but they can no longer buy tickets for "Iron Man", so they can only go to other movies or buy tickets for tomorrow.

The movie tickets of Chen Mubai and the others are all internal tickets, and they are also the best seats for watching movies.

"I've expected this situation a long time ago~" Tao Yaoyao said arrogantly.

"The pre-sale box office of "Iron Man" is 270 million. The box office on the first day is generally estimated to be more than 340 million, and even 400 million. Naturally, the popularity is very high!"

Qin Qiu said: "This shows that everyone very much hopes for the rise of domestic sci-fi movies. They don't want to only see foreign sci-fi blockbusters, and everyone hopes to see works from their own country."

After Tao Qingchao finished listening, he looked at Chen Mubai with a smile and asked, "Are you sure about the government audience?"

Before Chen Mubai could speak, Tao Yaoyao said first: "It must be, his expected box office for this movie is a guarantee of 4 billion!"

This matter was mentioned at the gathering with Lu Fang and others before, and Tao Yaoyao naturally knew about it.

Tao Qingchao was a little stunned: "Oh? So confident."

"That is, otherwise I wouldn't have dragged you to watch it, let you see the rise of Chinese science fiction movies!"

Tao Yaoyao was quite proud, as if she had starred in this work.

"Yes, yes, your boyfriend is the best." Tao Qingchao couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive seeing Tao Yaoyao's stinky fart.

Although he is very happy to see Tao Yaoyao find happiness, but he also doesn't want his daughter to see her boyfriend instead of her father. This is a small resentment from her father~

It is true that a man is a teenager until he dies.

"hey-hey!"

Seeing her father's apprehensive expression, Tao Yaoyao hurried to Tao Qingchao's side, hugged his arm and said coquettishly, "You are also very good, I am able to get where I am today, all thanks to you... ..”

After acting coquettishly, Tao Qingchao's little emotions disappeared in an instant, and he showed a satisfied smile.

"It's not ashamed to be like a child at such an age~" Qin Qiu spat.

"Hehe..." Tao Qingchao smiled foolishly.

No matter how you look at it, he looks like a middle-aged father. No one can tell that this man is the CEO of a multinational trading group!

Even though he looks vigorous and resolute on the outside, he will always be a father in front of his daughter.

"Uncle is indeed very powerful. He built a huge group from scratch." Chen Mubai boasted.

As a son-in-law, isn't it normal to flatter your father-in-law?

"You are even more powerful, a hero is a boy..." Tao Qingchao waved his hand to show that it was not worth mentioning, but Chen Mubai's words still made him very useful.

In his heart, Chen Mubai is indeed a very powerful person. He also started from scratch. He built a business empire in just a few years, and gained the attention of the higher authorities, becoming the face of China's film and television culture.

No matter in terms of experience or achievements, he thinks he is not as good as Chen Mubai.

"Okay, stop complimenting each other, weng and son-in-law, today we are going to watch a movie." Qin Qiu rolled his eyes at the two of them.

"hehe......"

Chen Mubai and Tao Qingchao smiled together, a tacit understanding between men.

"Watch "Iron Man" at 9 o'clock and start checking tickets..."

Everyone quickly started queuing up, waiting for the ticket check.

Chen Mubai and his party were the last to enter the arena to prevent being recognized during the ticket check.

After the four of them entered the cinema hall, hundreds of people filled the audience. Even though they were waiting for the movie to play, everyone was still in high spirits.

They chose the IMAX theater with a very large screen, 22 meters high and 28 meters wide. It is the most suitable theater for watching sci-fi movies. The visual effects are extremely enjoyable and shocking!

 …

Zhao Xiaoxiao and her parents came to the cinema to watch a movie again.

"Xiaoxiao, you said..."

Zhao Xiaoxiao's mother looked at the theater, and most of the young people chose to watch "Iron Man". There were not many people her age, so she always felt that she had chosen the wrong one.

It's like adults watching cartoons and being discovered, a little ashamed...

"It seems that young people watch this movie more. Isn't it bad for me to watch this kind of movie at my age?"

Zhao Xiaoxiao snorted: "Oh, Mom!"

"You are not very old, and you look very young. Last time I posted our photos in Moments, my classmates thought you were my sister! What's wrong with watching this kind of movie, isn't it normal?"

When Zhao's mother heard her daughter praise her for being young, a smile instantly bloomed on her face: "Really?"

"yes!"

"You're right. It's not wrong for us to choose this movie. This young man Chen Mubai's movie is indeed not bad, and it's worth the ticket price."

Zhao Xiaoxiao's father was speechless watching his wife and daughter singing oboe here.

However, he didn't make a sound. In his opinion, the suit of armor in "Iron Man" is really handsome, which is quite attractive to him.

Which man didn't have a mecha dream when he was young?

 …

Sun Dong and Zhao Ya walked into the cinema again to support Chen Mubai.

"No matter what, it's China's first sci-fi film, so we must support it!"

"That's right." Zhao Ya said: "I don't think that "Speed ​​Car" is very good, how dare you touch porcelain!"

"I don't know what kind of surprise this movie will bring us~" Sun Dong sat in his seat, looking forward to it.

From the trailer, he felt the amazing special effects, and now watching the 3D special effects in theaters, the effect will only be better.

"Chen Mubai won't let us down, will he?" Zhao Ya smiled softly while holding Sun Dong's arm.

"Must!" Sun Dongyi said righteously: "Today is a special day, and the door of Chinese science fiction movies may be opened here, and we are all witnesses!"

He watched the logo belonging to Mubai Entertainment appear on the pitch-black big screen, symbolizing the seeds of hope blossoming and bearing fruit, and he felt excited.

"For a long time, we can only watch foreign special effects blockbusters. Many movies are very bad but still can get a high box office in China. Sometimes the audience is not unaware of the poor quality, but they just want to watch special effects blockbusters and have no choice. Now , My country finally has sci-fi movies, and we will have a choice in the future, and it may even lead to the development of domestic sci-fi movies, and a number of special effects blockbusters will emerge, I am sincerely proud of it!"

"And this is the first part of the superhero series. There will definitely be other heroes in the follow-up. No matter what, it is an extraordinary movie. Even Mubai Entertainment will attach great importance to it, otherwise it will not be so powerful. Big publicity."

There are often movies with bad plots but great special effects, which make huge losses in the North American market, but when they come to the Chinese market, they win super high box office, turning losses into profits.

That's why many movies focus on the Chinese market at the beginning of filming. From their point of view, no matter how bad the filming is, someone will pay for it. They laugh at Chinese audiences while earning their money. People are stupid and have a lot of money.

Sun Dong didn't like this situation very much, not only him, but many Chinese netizens and movie fans didn't like this kind of movie that treated the audience as fools. Everyone resisted this phenomenon, but it is undeniable that this kind of voice is too small to affect the result.

If Huaxia has a movie with excellent special effects that can compete with them, then the audience will have other choices when watching the movie, and naturally they will not pay for it.

In the future, foreign blockbusters will also have to consider the needs of the audience and stop fooling people.

Out of emotion and reason, Sun Dong thinks that this movie should be supported. Furthermore, as a fan of Chen Mubai, it is even more appropriate to support his work, let alone this is a work of great significance!

There are often people on the Internet who ridicule Huaxia for not being able to make blockbuster films with special effects. While arguing, everyone has no confidence to refute. After all, this is the truth.

This movie came out, and there will be reasons to refute it in the future!

During this period of time, there were a lot of topics about Chen Mubai on the Internet, and Sun Dong participated in it. Some people blackmailed Chen Mubai, and he actively laned.

The moment the movie started to play, there were some noisy voices before, but it became quiet in an instant.

Many of the audience here are young people. Everyone walked into the theater with the same idea, thinking to support Huaxia's first sci-fi movie, and take a serious look at how this movie is!
