Chapter 722 Good grades
The reason for the "wow" sound is nothing else, it's naturally because of the exciting and thrilling scenes on the big screen.
The tank was "tripped", somewhat similar to the truck in "Batman" that flipped over from top to bottom.
Coupled with the true 3D effect, the audience will feel as if it is being hit towards them.
This shot is naturally exciting, but it is just one scene in "Act of Valor". There are more exciting, thrilling and burning scenes later.
Jiang Xiao himself, who was heavily involved in the script from beginning to end, also borrowed scenes from many exciting action movies in the future.
For example, the scene in "Gemini Man" where a motorcycle collides with a car and there is a fight, and the "Mission: Impossible" series also "borrowed" a lot.
In addition, the action style of "Act of Valor" is extremely crisp and clean, with life and death happening in an instant, with one knife and one shot.
Unlike traditional action movies, the winner can be determined from beginning to end.
Military themes require this sense of reality.
Of course, the villain must still have a history of harm, and not all of them are one-round opponents.
No, Tony Jaa played such a role.
Yes, Jiang Xiao, the villain in "Act of the Brave", initially looked for real foreign actors. Because he was more impressed by the former, he invited them to star.
Speaking of which, Tony Jaa also participated in "Vegetarian 7", but there was no opposite role with him. After all, he only appeared in a limited role.
Speaking of "Vegetarian 7", I have to mention that Paul died on the last day of November last year. I don't know if this is the day in my memory.
Probably, after all, nothing went wrong and it was still hanging on a friend's test drive, which led to the film's filming being temporarily suspended.
The filming progress of "Vegetarian 7" was actually almost over 80%, and there were not many scenes left to film. As a result, Paul was hung up at this time.
Of course, for this matter, Jiang Xiao himself could only express his condolences from afar.
Returning to the screening of "Operation Brave", the scene continued to escalate. J-10 fighter jets were dispatched, using ground laser guidance to eliminate the other three tanks except the one that was "tripped".
Following the gunship battle and towards the end, the villain madly launched missiles towards the border area.
China naturally counterattacked and intercepted decisively.
The moment when the anti-aircraft missiles were launched, it felt like a super cool spot, giving the audience goosebumps. You only feel this after going out.
At this point, "Operation Brave" has basically come to an end, and the hostages have been successfully rescued.
But the special team finally paid a corresponding price in the confrontation with hail of bullets.
Huang Xuan sacrificed his life to save the hostages, the people in the house were crippled, and almost everyone else was injured. What is war? This is war, and both sides have to pay the price.
It is said to be the jungle version of "Vegetarian Chicken", but "Act of Valor" also has a corresponding sense of reality, and it is not just about the fun of the scene.
After the "funeral" was held for Huang Xuan, the movie finally ended with a bandaged Jiang Xiao going home and hugging a crying and laughing Liu Yifei.

Early the next morning.
After waking up, Jiang Xiao first looked to his right, where there was a girl with messy hair sleeping soundly, named Liu Yifei.
Then he looked to the left, where there was also a girl with messy hair, named Yang Mi.
It goes without saying that after the premiere of "Act of Valor" last night, the train set off at midnight, and the door was still "welded" shut.
He was indeed busy late last night. He didn't plan to wake up the two girls, so he got up as quietly as possible, prepared breakfast and left it behind. After he settled the matter briefly, he left a note and left.
There is no other way, Jiang Xiao still has to promote "Operation Brave", otherwise he would like to sleep a little longer in the middle.
~~~~
Naturally, the propaganda went all over the country. Jiang Xiao led the team, and together with Zhang Yi and others, they went to Chang'an, Rongcheng, Mountain City, and Wuhan.
Then he himself had to leave temporarily and fly back to the capital because he had to attend the Spring Festival Gala. Others went to Jinling to wait for him to meet up in the second grade of junior high school before continuing the promotion.
~~~~
At eight o'clock sharp, the annual Spring Festival Gala kicked off on time.
It was not too late for Jiang Xiao to appear. In the previous hour, he performed the seventh program, singing a solo pop song called "Sparrow".
In short, everything went smoothly. It was the Spring Festival Gala, not a concert. There would be no screaming fans with "broken throats". Just sing to your own level.
However, there may not be much to see at the Spring Festival Gala. As he finished singing, it attracted great attention on the Internet, especially his own fans who really "celebrated the New Year" and blew up the song "Sparrow"
Song.
With crazy voting, "Sparrow" soon became the most popular program, surpassing the previous six programs by a large margin.
But in a place that Jiang Xiao didn't know, there was a man who couldn't help but smash the remote control panel in his hand against the TV when he saw Jiang Xiao appear.
Fortunately, the quality of the TV was not bad, or the man himself did not exert any real strength and reservations.
But after listening to Jiang Xiao's song with displeasure, the man suddenly sighed again.
No matter how depressed he was, he still had to admit that the other party was really strong.
The man's name is Wang Zhengliang. He was originally selected for this year's Spring Festival Gala and would sing a solo song "Where Has the Time Gone", but at the end of the day, he was directly replaced by Feng Xiaogang, and the person he replaced was none other than Jiang Xiao.
Right, a big star would attract more attention than a nobody like him. The key is that he has to admit that the other person is really talented, not now, but always.
Because he also listened to and appreciated the few songs.
It's really sad and helpless.
He wasn't even sure whether Jiang Xiao himself knew that there was such a thing going on. He seemed to be even more depressed when he said this.
What Wang Zhengliang didn't know was that he had guessed correctly. Jiang Xiao himself didn't even know there was such a thing as a substitution in the middle.
~~~~
As soon as the Spring Festival Gala ends and dawn breaks, another "war" begins immediately.
Because, on the first day of the new year, "Act of the Brave" was officially released nationwide.
Directly competing with each other in the same schedule are "Journey to the West: Upheaval in Heaven" and "Old Man". Basically, these two movies are worth mentioning.
However, "Act of the Brave" has already won first place, with its box office directly passing the 10 million mark at zero o'clock, reaching 13.55 million yuan.
It broke the historical record of zero-point box office in the mainland. The previous highest was 12.25 million for "Iron Man 3" and 12 million for "Transformers 3" before that.
These two movies are also the only ones that have exceeded 10 million, and now "Act of Valor" is the third one.
Relatively speaking, there is a big difference between "Havoc in Heaven" and "Old Man". One has more than one million, while the other has not even exceeded one million.
Although this does not mean anything, after all, it is only a midnight show, and watching movies in the middle of the night is not the choice of most people.
However, it is always a good thing to be first, step by step, and come out on top.
No, when the box office on the first day of the new year comes out, "Act of the Brave" is completely far ahead.
The market price is 396 million yuan. Needless to say, it is a new historical record.
Among them, "Act of the Brave" took in 237 million yuan, a new historical record.
"Havoc in Heaven" took in 98.32 million, while "Old Man" received less, with only 19.34 million, making it the least popular.
The others are some previously released movies, which do not account for a large proportion. I mainly watch three new movies.
And the songs of "Act of the Brave" crushed "Havoc in Heaven" and "Australian Storm".
Jiang Xiao was naturally satisfied with this result, and he did not expect that it would directly break the 200 million threshold. He originally expected that it would not be difficult to cross 100 million, but he really did not expect 200 million, which was also a big surprise.
"A new benchmark for Chinese-language films!"
“China’s top blockbuster that is not a Hollywood blockbuster!”
"The soul of a soldier, protect the family and the country!"
Evaluations like this are exactly the praise that the media praised after the premiere of "Act of Valor". It must be based on this kind of trend that the movie achieved extraordinary good results on the first day of the new year.
Relatively speaking, the special effects of "Havoc in Heaven" can actually show different levels of "sense of age". If you are afraid of comparing goods, I guess you will never be able to get over one billion as in memory.
box office.
"Australia" is basically a drama, so I won't comment on it. It goes without saying that it was affected.
No matter what, "Act of Valor" accounted for 60% of the entire box office, a huge victory.
Chapter completed!
