Although the higher-ups of Warner Entertainment admired Léon the Assassin more than they did Jingwu Gate, they were not optimistic about it anymore.
At present, Mi Di had already set off a wave of martial arts craze. If possible, they would like to introduce martial arts films, such as Ye Wen, which had been selling sold well in Xiangjiang not long ago.
Mirk did promote Léon: The Assassin to a certain extent. However, he was not sure what kind of box office sales Léon: The Assassin would achieve.
Even though Léon: The Assassin could be considered a westernized story.
"Next, how much Nanjing earns is up to fate!”Lin Li took a deep breath.
A total of 150 copies of Léon: The Killer had been produced. Now, Mi Di had provided more than 150 cinemas to screen Léon: The Killer. If the screening was not good, the theater would reduce the number of screenings or directly drop the screening.
This was already quite good. It was still 50 more than the previous Jingwu Sect.
The other thing was publicity. Although Lin Li's publicity was on point, it only attracted Chinese people. No one could be sure if Lin Li could attract more audiences.
New
York's Chinatown.
This was the largest Chinese community in the United States. After 40 years, it had grown to the size of four Celestial Cities and ten Chinese communities. The Chinese population was close to 800,000.
However, at this time, the Chinese people from the mainland had not left the country on a large scale. There were less than 400,000 Chinese in New York.
Warner Bros. first placed Léon: The Killer in New York's Chinatown, where there were two other cinemas. They were also the two largest cinemas here, with more than 1000 seats.
There weren't many other things in Chinatown, but there were restaurants one after another.
Perhaps it was because of the screening of the Fine Martial Arts Gate not long ago that more Chinese people noticed this place, or perhaps it was because Lin Li's promotion as Bruce Lee's junior brother had an effect, but there were still quite a number of people who came to watch the movie today.
Of course, this was only in normal times. They couldn't line up to buy tickets like in Xiangjiang City.
When they bought tickets and entered the theater, everyone was chatting or guessing the plot of the movie.
Many of them could not help but frown when they saw the promotional slogan. Frankly speaking, this promotional slogan did not feel like a martial arts movie. However, it was precisely because of this that it attracted many Americans.
Lin Li followed Michael here.
When the movie started, the 1000-seat theater actually had a 70% attendance rate.
Lin Li had to admit that Michael was indeed a pretty good advertisement, and had attracted quite a lot of people. For the Americans of this era, the East was still relatively mysterious.
In addition to Bruce Lee's Kung Fu craze, more Americans walked into the cinema.
At the beginning of Léon: The Assassin, the one-hit-kill and hearty fighting moves immediately attracted the audience.
It had to be said that the advanced filming techniques and beautiful and mature action scenes brought unexpected joy to the Chinese audience. This was because the movies that were shown in the Chinese community in the past were all old-fashioned martial arts movies. This was a killer movie.
The entire Killer was not too cold. It had been dubbed in the later stages. Other than the yellow skin, everything that was said was a
one-hit kill. It was still different from Bruce Lee's fighting style.
As the plot progressed, more people began to worry about Zhao Ziheng's fate. This twelve-year-old little girl, whether she could be saved.
At this moment, no one cared about the slogan anymore.
More people were still concerned about what the plot of Léon: The Assassin would be like.
Hmm?
Lin Li suddenly heard sobbing. He turned around and saw an American girl wiping her tears.
It seemed that he was still moved by Léon: The Assassin.
Suddenly, Lin Li was confident that his novel, Léon: The Assassin, would really be a sold well in North America.
As a reporter, Mary was shocked to be admitted.
From the very beginning, when Lin Li began to appear on television to promote himself, Mary had already noticed him. In this era, if one wanted to create some news, the Chinese were undoubtedly a good choice.
It was like Bruce Lee who created the Kung Fu craze.
As for Lin Li, as Bruce Lee's junior, what kind of director was he? What kind of work was his?
Bruce Lee's junior brother is a director of a erotic film?
Mary thought that this would be a very popular piece of news, but she was not in a hurry. She needed to watch the movie first and then find proof for herself.
However, when she read it, Mary was stunned.
The content of this movie was completely beyond his imagination. It was not a third-rate movie like he had imagined, but an excellent action movie.
The two people who had no one to rely on could keep each other warm.
Li Ang couldn't have any weaknesses. He couldn't have any worries. If he had any worries, he would hesitate and wouldn't be as straightforward as before.
However, Li Ang yearned for love and warmth. In the past, he only had green plants to accompany him, but now, there was a little girl named Zhao Ziheng.
Alright then!
Mary admitted that she was shocked. This movie was better than she had imagined.
This was especially so when Li Ang was shot in the back as he walked out of the door.
When he handed over the grenade ring.
Mary suddenly thought that perhaps Li Ang had done it on purpose. He knew that he could not bring Zhao Ziheng anything, so he chose to die.
Boom!
As the movie ended, Mary felt a mix of emotions deep inside her heart. She couldn't tell what kind of emotion it was.
It was as if a huge stone was pressing down on his heart, but also as if he had a feeling of relief.
This kind of emotion was indescribable.
Hearing
the discussions around them, Lin Li and Michael looked at each other, and then held hands.
Just by looking at the comments around him, Lin Li knew that the box office earnings of Léon: The Assassin would definitely not be bad even in Mi Di.
It was on fire!
"Lin, I believe that this movie will definitely sold well. Congratulations!”Michael grabbed Lin Li's hand tightly.
Lin Li smiled and stood up to leave. On the other hand, Mary was slightly stunned. No matter how she looked at him, she felt that Lin Li looked familiar.
Wait a minute, wasn't this person Li Ang?
