Rebirth Enchanted Xiangjiang
Chapter 303
The significance of lofty ambition to the U.S. military is the same as the significance of the police story to the Hong Kong police department.
When the police story of the previous two years was released, the Hong Kong police department also greatly assisted in the promotion, and mobilized all police department personnel to watch the movie. Two police stations also reserved the venue for viewing.
The police story is about the bravery of the Hong Kong police. It is full of positive energy. For the Hong Kong police department, which has suffered from negative images, it is natural to promote it.
Why did the former Hong Kong police have such a bad reputation?
Before the establishment of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, Hong Kong policemen were more serious in eating and taking cards than social members, and it was even more hacked. Basically, few police officers were good.
With the establishment of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, all the four major Chinese detectives fell off the horse and ran off the road. Almost all the Hong Kong policemen rioted because they were carrying things on their backs and were afraid of being caught. In the end, because of too much movement, more than two thousand police officers gathered. The Hong Kong Government’s Independent Commission Against Corruption protested against the excessive powers of the Independent Commission Against Corruption and asked the Independent Commission Against Corruption to stop the investigation. As a last resort, the Hong Kong Governor MacLehose issued an amnesty order and decided not to blame the police for corruption before January 1, 1977.At the same time, the Legislative Council passed an emergency decree authorizing the Commissioner of Police to immediately expel any police officers who did not obey the order.So far, the police's troubles have been effectively curbed.
However, although the establishment of the Independent Commission Against Corruption has reduced the corruption of the Hong Kong police and the effect is remarkable, the bad impression accumulated over the years is still deeply ingrained in the hearts of Hong Kong citizens.
Anyway, I think the police are not a good thing. People who sign up for the police academy will be ridiculed. As a result, being a policeman in Hong Kong for a long time is a very shameful and contradictory thing. Naturally, there are fewer people who become police officers. .
However, with the popularity of police stories, especially the success of Chen Jiaju's modeling in the movie, it has largely changed Hong Kong citizens' views on the police.
The U.S. military has similar ideas about lofty ambitions, to shape the glorious image of the military, and hope that U.S. citizens will be interested in joining the military after watching the movie.
The U.S. military also hopes to use a movie about the U.S. Air Force like Lingyun to reverse the people's views on the U.S. military and the military.
The Hong Kong police have tarnished their reputation because of corruption, while the US military has tarnished its reputation because of its years of fighting and provoking wars.
The most influential of these was the Vietnam War.
The Vietnam War lasted 20 years from 55 to 75 years. During the 20 years, the United States dropped 8 million tons of bombs on Vietnam, far exceeding the sum of bombs dropped on various battlefields during World War II, resulting in more than 160 Vietnam. Ten thousand people died.The United States itself suffered heavy losses, with more than 58,000 people killed and more than 300,000 injured, costing more than US$400 billion.
The final result was that the United States had no choice but to withdraw its troops from Vietnam. The loss of troops and soldiers has not yet been defeated. Nearly 400,000 people were killed or injured, and more than 400 billion US dollars were spent. The domestic anti-war sentiment of the Americans has risen unprecedentedly, and the military's reputation has gone bad.
Who would be willing to let their children serve as soldiers, and they will die if they fail to do so. Not many people of the right age are willing to do so at home.
As a result, in 1986, ten years after the end of the Vietnam War, the United States did not recruit enough soldiers every year, and the gap was quite large.
Because ten years is not enough time to make people forget the pain, and the American soldiers who returned from Vietnam also made a lot of troubles during the ten years, some because of the disability welfare, and some because of the post-war psychological syndrome. It hurts others.
Moreover, there are often reflections on war in film and television. Like the first blood starring Stallone, Rambo is a veteran who returned from the Vietnam War, and the story in the first story is also that Rambo was despised by the police after returning from the Vietnam battle. A story of humiliation and a violent counterattack from an illness in the heart.
The second drop of blood also tells the story that Rambo was ordered to return to Vietnam to investigate whether the missing US military was a prisoner, but was finally betrayed by his boss and launched a revenge plan.
The people are anti-war and war-weary, resisting being a soldier, and most of the TV and film media are anti-war
Aspirational Lingyun is such a work that the military has high hopes for.
It was screened on a scale of one thousand one hundred canvases. The first day was reported to receive 7.5 million US dollars at the box office. The second day was reported to receive more than 9 million US dollars, and the third day was more than 11 million US dollars.
In the first weekend, the box office cut $28 million in three days.
As soon as the box office of High Aspirational went out on the first weekend, he was amazed, especially when it was only 7.5 million on the first day, it reached more than 11 million US dollars in just two days, an increase of more than half.
Many film critics don’t understand. They don’t understand why this movie can have such a box office explosiveness. They don’t understand why they have been in newspaper columns in the first time. TV shows mocking this is a history of the US Navy. In the case of the most expensive conscription advertising film, there will be so many, and even more and more people will go to the cinema to watch such a film.
The popularity of lofty ambitions has made these professional film critics start to doubt life, and wonder whether their own guiding influence on audience viewing is already inaudible.
There are also many film critics who said that the military's vigorous assistance in the filming of High-Aspiration Lingyun was joking with taxpayers' money, and they also called for investigation by relevant departments, but these drugs did not affect the audience's enthusiasm for watching the movie.
Even if film critics and even the most powerful media have obtained accurate information, it proves that the F-14 fighter jets in the High Aspiration Cloud have a very high flight cost per hour. Aviation fuel alone amounts to $7,000, and the entire movie is filmed. Several million dollars were lost, and all the money was from the military, and it was still useless.
When the audience saw the news, they almost exclaimed, wow, it’s so expensive, and then it’s gone. Then, perhaps even more aroused, they want to buy tickets to watch a movie and see what an airplane that costs 7,000 dollars per hour is. What it looks like and how handsome it is.
Perhaps the ten-year long anti-war trend has made American audiences too depressed. After all, no one likes their own army as such a bad image. So when there is a movie where the military army becomes another image they like , The depressed mood was released at once.
After a week in theaters, Lingyun's box office has surpassed 55 million U.S. dollars, and then Brother Tom has gone viral. He wore air force uniform posters all over the streets.
"Mr. Qiao, there is a call from 20th Century Fox to discuss the issue of bodyguards with us again." Qiao Feng rang when he was shopping with Zhong Chuhong, and he heard it was from Shi Nansheng.
"You tell them that the bodyguards are going to be released in Hong Kong first. Since they have concerns before, then wait, and wait until the screening in Hong Kong is over and they will see the screening situation before discussing." Qiao Feng casually ordered. Seeing that Zhong Chuhong had bought a skirt and was about to check out, Qiao Feng hung up the phone and ran over to pay the bill.
