Chapter 354： Kung fu boom is coming (1/2)
”Ghost Record” did not win the third week of the championship. After the night of April 15-21, it ranked third in the week with 15.21 million US dollars at the box office. The total box office in North America rose to 94.84 million, according to this At the box office's downward trend, 110 million in North America did not receive it, but it was no problem to rush into the 100 million yuan club. Quick and stable update!
Another newly released horror movie ”Ghost crying Howl” took the championship throne at the box office of Zhou Wan ... ”The production cost of Wan has five companies including Dimen, MGM, United States, Platinum Sand Dunes, and Radar Color Pictures. Looking at the style of Flame Lone Ranger, the 200 million production cost of ”Firefly” is fully committed, which is really impressive. MGM, who is in charge of the North American trip, was not disappointed, and finally fought a beautiful battle, although the freshness was 24% 21%, 64% likes, can be regarded as bad reviews; driven by the market of ”Ghost 3”, it has the potential to break the 100 million box office worldwide.
”Ghost Cry God Howl” was originally a famous work of Koror Moritz, but now with her starring in ”Ghost 3” naturally there is another successful little girl audition.
This week's second defeated ”Sahara Cavalry”, the next week's box office declared 16.54 million deaths of this blockbuster; and the 8.92 million ”Sin City” was ranked fifth, and 63.53 million in 21 days showed It has no hope of breaking the 100 million box office in North America. The 22nd place ”Kung Fu” continued 7 theaters, and continued to perform well for a single US $ 8. This Chinese film with a cost of US $ 20 million received rave reviews. The rotten tomato freshness was as high as 85%, and the audience liked 86%.
Andrew Sun of ”The Hollywood Reporter” said: ”An extremely unconscious, sy and magnificent combination, the comedy king from Hong Kong, Zhou Xingchi, raised the Kung Fu comedy genre to a hilarious new height.” ”Dallas Morning News” Chris Vognar said: ”If you don't feel entertained, it's time to wake yourself up.” Roger Albert of the Chicago Sun said: ”When I saw it at the Sundance Film Festival At the time of it, I wrote that it was like a party like Judge-Chen and Buster-Kieton (a famous cold-faced jokester with Quentin-Tarrentino and Benny Rabbit ... ”Look at this Movies can satisfy everything for you. ”
For the good situation of ”Kung Fu”, the producers Sony and Colombia are very happy. It seems that even the flame film that has no neighbor relationship is also very happy, because ”Kung Fu Panda” will be released in May and ”Firefly” in June. Both of them will be released. It can be called a Kung Fu action movie, especially ”Kung Fu Panda” with the title ”kun-Fu”. Now the Kung Fu movies can perform well, and it is not the kind of big show that saturates the market, which just helps the flames. An animated movie and a live-action movie play a role in warming up.
But unfortunately, if ”Kung Fu” is performed by Jianyan Films, they will not be stingy with the promotion link, then it is more likely to achieve the box office performance of ”Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon”, rather than the success of the water test as now. Fishing — the pen is done.
The success of ”Kung Fu” made Stephen-Zhou continue to maintain the status of Sony and Colombia. Columbia is of course interested in launching a new film cooperation plan with him. The flame film has also been initially approved by Zhou Xingchi and starred in ”Green ”Beeman”; on the other side, Kim-Kerry, who was nominated by the filming actor of Aurangska, is in a good mood, how to see how the flames are pleasing to the eye, he also initially agreed to the collision of the king of East and West comedy.
Recently, Flame Movies has purchased a large number of adaptation rights and multiple scripts to add choices to its shooting material library. One of the adaptation rights is the famous work ”Fatal Magic” by British writer Christopher Priest to launch the movie The plan; the other is the copyright of the movie ”Green Hornet”, whose creators George-Trendell and Fran-Stricker's family agreed to the adaptation of the flame.
Who is it to adapt and direct ”Green Hornet”? After understanding, Wang Yang and Huoliang learned that Zhou Xingchi is a person with a relatively arrogant personality. He is a kind of ”tyrant” with high control over creation and bad temper. There is no shortage of such filmmakers in Hollywood, such as ”Hollywood's most terrifying people ...” James Ben Mellon, who scolded the actors on the set is just commonplace. However, there are many conflicting differences between Eastern and Western cultures such as ”Green Hornet”, and Colombia has had this bitter fruit. The creative disagreement led to Zhou Xingchi's full withdrawal, and a good ”Green Hornet” plan Disappointed.
Either it was clearly stated at the beginning that ”just starring” and Zhou Xingchi would not be allowed to participate in the creative link of screenwriting and directing, but the reason why he is currently only initially agreed is that he does not like this kind of cooperation, he wants to edit and direct, he Take control of this movie.
Another big-name Kim Il-Kerry has never been interested in directors, and only participated in the script writing of the New Year ’s TV series ”Vivid Colors” and ”The Detective Aircraft Head”; even the producers have little interest and have only acted for such a long time. Twice. In this ”Green Hornet” he said that only the protagonist is no matter what else, so he will give Zhou Xingchi and his team the leading power of creation and trust them, strangling all contradictions in the cradle.
Which option? Flame Film has been thinking about this problem for many days. Wang Yang ’s attitude is inclined to the latter. Zhou Xingchi is also a hard-core fan of Bruce Lee, and has his own unique opinions and feelings about ”Green Hornet”. It is the reason why a tyrant actually wants to agree to ”just starring”, and tyrants often have a stubborn character. They never want to be so sloppy. He must go all out for ”Green Hornet”.
Just considering the cultural differences between the East and the West, and considering that the 9-year version of ”Dragon Ball” by Zhou Xingchi is a mess, no matter what kind of program, ”Green Hornet” requires a gold producer with rich experience and high commercial ability. .
The documentary ”Yao Next Year”, which was released in 12 theaters this week, ranked 67th and received 33,345 US dollars, with an average of 2,779 yuan each. It can be said that its screening hall is basically in the state of shooting flies every day. , The ”boutique route” of merchants can only think about dVd. Waiting for the surrounding sales routes.

As the last shot of the movie ”Firefly” finished, the screening room sounded leisurely with a sad ending, the small screen picture also entered the role of director, director, screenwriter, producer ... The audience in the screening room rose There was a crisp and warm applause, Jos ... Weyden, Vale-Fest, Jane-Kezmelik, Hans Zimmer, Margaret-Goodspeed, Lee-Smith, Sean-Walsh, Kevin-Cawana ...
”Great!” All the creators of ”Firefly” gathered here, at this time they are giving applause and praise to the young directors, maybe other movies have great uncertainty. This joint film they have cast is well deserved. classic! Joss-Weyden wiped his wet eyes
, Still immersed in the film's artistic conception, so complicated and profound but well-organized, and finally ushered in a fatal blow, he exclaimed: ”Tp ... is incredible.”
Vale ... Pfister looked at Jane and Hans and could n’t help but lifted his thumbs up. There was no thesis and martial arts. No matter the artistic conception of the picture is quiet, the music is always so sweet, touching the hearts of the director ’s intentions. Speaking out with music, especially the final part of the battle and ending of New Shanxi, people's hearts have been gripped, excited and sad, he praised: ”The soundtrack highlights the picture to the fullest!”
”Thank you, but in fact we would like to thank you!” Hans-Zimmer also praised, so realistic and amazing special effects, explosive fighting, and beautiful pictures that can be fixed as scrolls, all this is really ... as a serious The serious German, he couldn't help but praise: ”This will be the best science fiction movie this year!”
”K, guys!” Seeing that they still had to praise each other, Wang Yang was halted and stopped. He clapped his hands vigorously and smiled, ”You're done, thank you for your efforts! I also agree, I hope the audience It will look good. ”The people said immediately without humility:” Of course! ”,” Director I don't think you need to worry. ”,” Good and bad films are easy to separate, we are not blind. ”
”It's a classic of classics.” ”It's fascinating! Until the heart!”
Wang Yang shook his head and sighed while looking at the cast of roles rolling on the screen: ”Do you know? You really are the humblest crew.”
The production cost of ”Firefly” completed in front of all parties is fixed at more than 190 million. The highest proportion is naturally the remuneration and special effects costs. It is not a fake blockbuster but a real class blockbuster. enjoy.
This is thanks to the video camera and its large format, which also allows ”Firefly” to be released in ordinary theaters, and will also be printed with 65 ... film frames, 35, and film screens to adjust the screen aspect ratio. A giant screen theater around the world. Although North America is less than a hundred, but its fares are expensive and the rate of attendance is high, it will be a big gain if it works well; and it is one of the promotional gimmicks of ”Firefly”.
Not a documentary! The first live-action movie to use! As long as the audience heard that, no matter how good or bad the movie is, Firefly is already different.
Because “Let ’s go to a movie tonight?” And most of the audience who walked into the cinema checked the selection on the computer before they went out, or directly faced the poster wall of the theater to choose. There is no Ministry, who knows what it is? However, technology is always better and cooler than none. Do n’t you know it? So they made a choice: ”Watch” Firefly ”.”
Of course, if a concept gimmick spreads to the point where there is no mystery, no trust, and enough, the audience will be disgusted. For example, when the pseudo 3d is flooded, maybe a row of bright red ”nT-3d” is printed on the poster. .
