Chapter 44: Popularity (3/5)
(Who said I was industrially hydrographed?)
Lu Xiaoran also enjoyed similar treatment, and "Gravity" was a box office hit that year, and there were really many people around him who wanted to invest in his new project...
Provided, of course, that is, a Hollywood production.
By the way, during this recent period, after he came into contact with people in the United States, or Warner, Universal, he learned a lot of inside information, Hollywood movies, or American movies, are inseparable from the support of the American government, and the MPAA submits a report to the Trade Department every year on the trade barriers encountered by American films in countries around the world, so that the government can take targeted protective and supportive measures.
The MPAA also recruits people around the world to help it detect piracy of U.S. film and television in various countries and industries.
In addition to the MPAA, there is also NATO – the American Association of Theater Owners.
Founded in 1965 as a result of the merger of several large commercial theaters in the United States, it is now the world's largest organization of the film projection industry, headquartered in Washington, D.C.
The association's members include major movie theater chains and numerous independent theater owners, and to date it owns more than 29,000 movie screens in all 50 states, as well as other theaters in 50 countries around the world.
It is not only a consortium of theater owners in the United States, but also a highly influential theater owner organization in the world, and its views are highly representative in the world and have an important impact on the development of global theaters...
The combination of the two guarantees the globalization of Hollywood!
Not to mention anything else, our theater chain is still busy with infighting...
It's too difficult to establish the right to speak in Chinese films...
According to the thinking of a bunch of Hollywood executives, no matter how famous you are in other countries, you are going to come to Hollywood to develop - they call Hollywood the World Cinema Production Center.
Therefore, "Wolf Warrior 2" became popular, and the first idea of these people - to invite Wu Jing to make a movie, and then sell it to the Chinese market.
Their thinking is very similar to Master Guan in "Farewell My Concubine": if he is human, he has to watch movies, and if he doesn't watch movies, he is not human, what pigs, dogs, he doesn't watch movies, is he human? Therefore, if there are movies, you have to count on us Hollywood!
However, Lu Xiaoran's words dispelled the thoughts of these people, he said, "Wu Jing of "Wolf Warrior 2" voted 25% by himself, and he can get 20% of the box office account..."
Do the math yourself, how much!
Hollywood's rules for taking over dramas, according to the salary of the first two plays, take an average, if you really invite Wu Jing, you have to pay at least $50 million in salary.
Would you like to?
Willing to be an egg!

How popular is "Wolf Warrior 2"?
On the tenth day of its release, there was a peak at the box office, with a single-day revenue of 420 million!
Is there any mistake?
How can a movie have the highest box office peak on the tenth day of its release?
And it broke the highest box office value in the mainland film market!
originally thought that this was enough of a myth, but then on the eleventh day, that is, on August 6th, "Wolf Warrior 2" received 440 million in a single day...
What is the concept of 400 million in a single day for consecutive days?
Converted to US dollars, it is close to $60 million in a single day, which is the box office result of the first weekend of "Star Wars"!
And it was set the same the weekend after its release.
After 11 days of release, the cumulative box office exceeded 3.1 billion...
And it's still rising!
The only ones taller than it are "The Mermaid" and "The Martian"...
At present, surpassing "Mermaid" is only a matter of these two days, and even "The Martian" may not be able to stop it...
Sure enough, on the first working day of the third week, the single-day box office was still as high as 260 million...
The second-ranked "Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms" received 28 million in a single day...
Almost ten times ahead!
In thirteen days, the box office surpassed "The Mermaid"...
On the fourteenth day of its release, the box office directly exceeded 4 billion, and Orange Ticketing gave the final result of 5.8 billion...
On the sixteenth day of release, the third weekend was ushered in, and on the same day, "Psychological Crime", "Rogue League" and "The Legend of Shark Pearl" were opened, and "Wolf Warrior 2" won another 160 million in a single day, and the three new films together are not as good as the single-day box office of "Wolf Warrior 2"...
This is no longer an annual phenomenon, or an annual hit that can be explained, in a word: a rare hit in ten years!
A lot of new words have appeared on the Internet: spiritual shareholders and Jingshen disease...
Many netizens said: After watching "Wolf Warrior 2", I have developed the habit of landing on Orange Ticket every once in a while to see the total box office of "Wolf Warrior 2", as if I invested money...
The official Weibo of "The Martian" posted a new Weibo: 'Leng Feng, slow down...'
Lu Xiaoran posted a Weibo: "Trembling, "Wolf Warrior 2" is here..."
Now, everyone understands...
......
Daniel Craig, the ugliest James Bond of all time...
There is a famous saying in Hollywood that those who look ugly generally have acting skills...
This obviously does not apply to the mainland entertainment industry - Xiao Yueyue came out and was beaten!
Daniel Craig, Lu Xiaoran likes him a lot, an Englishman who speaks American English with a southern accent, and is actually very fluent...
Think about the "Legend of Wukong" in "Listen, from now on for 10,000 years, you will all remember this name, Lao Tzu's name is Sun Wu (the fourth tone) Kong..."
The embarrassment of capitalization...
Of course, this is not only a matter of accent, but also requires the actor's line skills to be in place, and the tone and frustration can reflect the character's mood and convey feelings.
Looking at the draft again, it is blowing hard again, a play and a skill...
Whoever steps on the horse doesn't care if you work hard, what I want to see is the result!
Of course, all the actors in "Knives Out" are actors with masterpieces, for example, this scene is considered to be the announcement of the will, Lu Xiaoran just asked the photographer to bury the most basic triangular photography structure, arranged a handheld camera to shoot Ana de Armas's expression, shouted 'Action!', and then sat in the director's chair and watched these people play independently...
"Now the will is announced, Haran... If you have any objections, you can raise them, but I don't think there's anything unclear about Harlan's assets, including the ownership of the house, the various investments and cash assets add up to nearly $60 million, and of course, the core asset, the ownership of the 'Blood Wine' publishing house..."
This scene is the main event, so there is also a personal statement - the words are too long, too lazy to copy, and there is no place to copy, forget it.
"Wow, a very simple will: all my assets will be inherited by Marta Cabrera after my death, and the ownership of my 'Blood Wine' publishing house and the copyright of all works will be handed over to Marta Cabrera..."
Then a large group of grieving people stood up, first questioning, and then taking their anger out on Ana de Armas.
"This slut, say, didn't you already know?"
"What the hell did you do?"
"Did you get involved with my father?"
The camera scares on Anna, who keeps backing away, her face full of timidity...
