700 million! ”Hangover 2”, a costly r-rated comedy, with 3251 theaters, took just 700 days to receive 700 million North American box office!
It is more than double the weekend of ”Hangover” by 55.73 million! 700 million has also newly become the r.1 comedy movie. 1.
”This is a crazy result with only the energy of the previous game?” Yahoo Entertainment commented on this week's champion so surprised that the entire market has been shocked. Who is it that rushed into the 100 million box office club in 3 days? o 114 million in ”Spider-Man”, g-13 level; o2 ”Ninth District” 200 million, r level; o3 ”Matrix 2” 800 million, r level; then gone, the original The 4th and now the 5th ”Star Wars Episode 2” took 4 days in the summer of o2, 100 million, g-level.
Isn't this crazy? Take a look at the four movies, it's all sci-fi big production, or like ”Spider-Man”, ”Star Wars Episode 2” has a huge fan base; or a sequel with huge popularity; or God made & m; Viral marketing. Why did you change ”Hangover 2” of the original team? Can such a blowout happen? e1mber attributed it to the popularity of ”The Hangover”, followed by excellent marketing, a weak comedy market, and the quality of ”The Hangover 2” itself.
This is indeed the case. In addition to the 320 million North American box office and 617 million global box office, ”Hangover” has caused huge social repercussions and promoted Las Vegas' tourism and beer sales; it sold in the later period. The aspect is equally popular. DVDs currently have sales of 183 million in North America alone, and the sales volume has reached 11.43 million. It is the kind of hilarious entertainment film suitable for buying film collections. All kinds of leasing have a comprehensive explosion performance.
The laughter generated by these sales accumulates bit by bit to form an energy comparable to a nuclear bomb explosion, and finally released this weekend. A movie fan Dafu-d commented: ”The results of” Hangover 2 ”make me think, if it is Magic Yang to continue to direct, what will its opening score be?” Will it be more crazy? Maybe it will. But that's just hypothesis. The light exposed by the flash now belongs to ”Hangover 2”, belongs to the flame movie, belongs to Paul Feige, Philippe Stark, Gary Vanakis and others.
Even though the freshness of Rotten Tomatoes is only 46% and%, the criticism of it is mainly because of the similarity of the framework. ”The Wall Street Journal” Joe Morganstein said: ”I ca n’t believe it, everything is born again, Except that the location is not in Las Vegas. This is extremely rancid, predictable and surprising. ”Roger Albert of the Chicago Sun said sarcastically:” The reason why M gives it r grade is: 'Vulgar Language, including nudity, sexual use of drugs, and brief images of violence. 'Is there anything else? Maybe their capacity is limited. ”...
The audience likes only qualified%, most of them are 3 stars and 3.5 stars in the comment list, only a few 5 stars, Leila-said: ”I did n’t expect anything, but I saw something funny. Style, which brings a sense of freshness. ”Brandon said:” First of all it is interesting, they re-used the joke repacking the upper part, but I must admit that I laughed. ”There are also half a star Tessie-g: ”The terrible” Hangover ”remake, after watching it, you may get cancer, avoid it.” ...
But in terms of business, ”Hangover 2” stands at the new peak of comedy. Paul Feig, who has become the focal point, accepted an interview with the Los Angeles Times champion. Although Zhu Yu was at the front, the box office broke 100 million in 3 days and is still worthy of the media. When asked by reporters about Zhuyu, Paul Feig replied: ”Our studio has inherited the atmosphere of the magical era. Like an amusement park, anyone can put forward interesting opinions. I was even asked by Zach, Bradley teased them a few times, everything was for fun. This atmosphere is really great, it provides us with a lot of inspiration, and now it seems to have achieved very good results. ”
”Of course there is a lot of pressure.” In further talking about the pressure effect of Miracle Yang and his predecessor, Paul Feig said frankly: ”He is like a mountain that is difficult to climb, and it is in front of you, you must arouse Have the courage to go on the road and try to climb over it. Magic Yang will play even crazier, with a lot of slow-motion, special effects and imitative tricks; we have taken a relatively different approach and the details are more unexpected. ”
After talking about two topics, Magic Yang was put aside. Paul Feig shared a lot of studio anecdotes, behind-the-scenes production secrets, personal life and other aspects under the question of the ”Los Angeles Times”. Speaking of the great success of ”Hangover 2” The influence of life, Feig smiled with emotion: ”It's too big! It's like a gust of wind, and my family and I are deeply affected. Overnight, everyone called me 'I see ”Hangover 2”, it's so funny ”,” Paul, you messed up this errand ”, haha! What makes me most happy is that my son said,” Dad, I'm so funny to you now. ”This is really Make me proud. ”
Finally, speaking of his personal future work plan and the news of ”Hangover 3”, Paul Feig told reporters: ”I hope to have” Hangover 3 ”and be able to direct it, and continue to work with these old folks. But for now, everything has a lot of uncertainty, I just want to enjoy this summer. ”
Flame Movies believes that ”Hangover 3” has no uncertainty. The 700 million opening box office is still uncertain?
In order to help impact the box office, the flames movie, which has always been highly efficient, announced the plan of ”Hangover 3”, and the speaker Foona Hasen happily told the media: ”We are very, very surprised to see” Hangover 2 ” 》 The power of Echizen ’s works was exploded. According to the scattered data survey we have obtained, 65% of the audience are between the ages of 17 and 35. I ’m glad that it is still the darling of young people. “Hangover 3” is an inevitable start of flames As for the plan of the story, the format of the story may change. We will try our best to make the second team perform the task again, bringing you another hilarious journey. ”
In addition to the ”hangover 3” that will be created, the market is also rumored that the flame film intends to sign a 1 + 1 contract with Paul Feig and invites him to shoot and produce another r-level comedy plan; at the same time, Warner Brothers and Pella Giants such as Mongolia have also stared at the 41-year-old star director who can be edited.
This weekend, ”Hangover 2” won the championship unstoppably, while ”Furious Speed” maintained a strong momentum. After adding 326 theaters, the number of screenings rose to 3316, winning the runner-up with 31.41 million rebounds. North America The total box office rose to 131.4 million, 17 days more than last year's 127 million ”degree and passion 2”, 144 million from the racing film list ”degree and passion”, only a gap of more than 10,000.
”We crashed a total of cars, it's crazy, many of them were crashed and repaired, and then repaired and then crashed, so you can see that there were cars in the movie.” During this time, Lin Yibin than Paul -Feig became a dazzling new star earlier, and interviews with newspapers, magazines, online media, etc. kept on. In the interview dialogue of ”The Hollywood Reporter”, he replied: ”I like cars very much, but I am not a fan, Not even a racing fan. ”
This newly-emerging Chinese director has naturally attracted the attention of Asian American groups and Asian Chinese-speaking communities, and ”Furious Speed” is also doing overseas publicity preparations to appear on the big screen in mainland China. One or two went to Lin Yibin to do several Chinese Media interview.
After emigrating at the age of eight, he grew up in the suburbs of Los Angeles. He opened the ”Lin's Chinese Restaurant” at home. When interviewed by the Internet, Lin Yibin laughed that his background was not great at all, but his parents were very open-minded and trusted from the beginning. Supporting his son's exhibition of interest, it also made him feel warm and happy on his way to 11th Film Academy. The school education taught him what it was like to make a movie; but how to make a movie after graduation was another matter.
”I am an Asian filmmaker, and I want to enter this industry with greater challenges. At that time, I had to think of a way to prove my strength to others. Small-cost independent film is a good way. At that time, I brushed a few Zhang credit card borrowed some money, but it was not enough, either continue to brush, or get the support of the film maker. Then the lucky thing happened, I met Wang Yang in Las Vegas, he gave me enough on the spot Starting capital, I used it to shoot ”Hot Mochi”.
In the bright and elegant office, after hearing the questions asked by the reporter on the phone, Lin Yibin thought about it and smiled: ”I also like to shoot mainstream Hollywood commercials because the challenge is greater. Like” ”Furious Speed” is a big capital operation. Wang Yang will not be polite to me and ask for the global box office. This is a responsibility. ”Furious Speed” let me learn a lot and grow quickly. ”
On the computer screen, there are clips of clips playing. In fact, he is now working on the planning of the DVD of ”Furious Speed”. After answering a few questions about the film itself, I heard the voice of the reporter from the phone: ”You went to the United States when you were a child. Does your Asian background have any influence on your film production? How many Asian perspectives? ”Lin Yibin uttered, before, he was confused by the confusion” who am I ”that the second-generation immigrants often have, and now it is gone.
”Whether I want to think or not, I am an Asian perspective.” Lin Yibin organized the language, as Wang Yang said, he said seriously: ”But in the face of big production and the entire market, you can't Just thinking about the Asian perspective. Everyone has their own focus. A good director wants to have more focus and pay attention to things that others ca n’t. And when filming, both the actors and the staff It ’s diverse, and there are races in all places. You need to integrate them, so the Asian perspective is an advantage for me, and I can see more. ”
This is really a good experience taught by Wang Yang, and it is also the reason why he is so open to be crazy. Lin Yaobin recalled his previous self and always thought that ”I want to take the most unique path”, but how to go from high altitude See, where is the road? From the Asian perspective, the European perspective, and the American perspective, what is the point of conflicting with whom? Only by trying to understand can you understand your own thoughts and needs, and make better movies.
”I really like to let everyone see the views of children from Asian families. Although there are not many Asians in Hollywood, but for this reason, others will give you more opportunities.” Lin Yibin said here. After a while, even if it is not a flame movie, he continued to talk to the phone: ”You have to do well, others will recognize you. You do not need to say if you are doing well, and naturally it will show when you work. ”
An interview with the reporter asked: ”Well, er, there are not many well-known Asian directors in Hollywood. Many netizens think that you have a promising future. It is the next magical Yang. Compare you with Wang Yang, Li An and Wu Yusen. Is that so? ”
”Hahaha!” Lin Yibin shook his head and smiled, and said: ”This question is too hot, too much! No, I dare not compare myself with Wang Yang, Li An, Wu Yusen, they are all masters, I just hope to work hard in their direction. ”He didn't work with Li An and Wu Yusen, but Wang Yang? All aspects on and off the studio are completely not a level, except that his age is larger than Wang Yang.
