Chapter 43: Breaking 400 Million in a Single Day... (2/5)

On the first day of the release of "Wolf Warrior 2", Lu Xiaoran went to the United States...

However, he left a message on Weibo:

"Wolf Warrior 2" is here, trembling...

What he said is true, the box office of "Wolf Warrior 2" is 5.6 billion, but it is not trembling...

Anyway, Lao Lu has no confidence in breaking the box office record of "Wolf Warrior 2" for the time being...

But netizens didn't understand what he meant, and most people thought he was joking - when he encountered "The Great Cause of the Founding of the Army", he didn't tremble...

A bunch of people left messages: Don't worry, we'll go and see it!

Those who offend my Chinese will be punished 🐶 even if they are far away...

In the first part of "Wolf Warrior", the slogan was shouted too loudly, according to the Douban context: That's it, the film is too contrived!

In fact, according to the prediction of the theater: "Wolf Warrior 2" is 800 million, and "The Great Cause of the Army" is guaranteed to be 1.6 billion, the latter is recognized as the head work!

Speaking of which, Orange is also an investor in "The Great Cause of the Army" - invested 2%, which means...

If you don't vote, don't you give face to Big Brother of China Film?

Bona is even more pressed on the "Great Cause of Army Building", accounting for 25% of the investment...

Don't put all your eggs in the same basket - Bona also voted 20 million for "Wolf Warrior 2"...

The next day, "Wolf Warrior 2" had quadrupled "The Great Cause of the Army", with 210 million in a single day, and the latter had less than 50 million;

On the third and fourth days, "Wolf Warrior 2" broke 300 million in a single day, and "The Great Cause of the Army" stabilized at around 54 million...

On weekdays, "Wolf Warrior 2" still won 270 million box office, and the latter's single-day box office has dropped to 27 million...

Once a film exceeds one billion, and it exceeds one billion at the box office in a short period of time, public opinion will be overwhelming, Weibo, WeChat, major websites, anyway, in all the social occasions you can come into contact with, there are people discussing "Wolf Warrior 2"...

Then, some non-target audiences of the film took the initiative to go to the theater to catch up with the trend of public opinion, so as not to break away from the topic of the circle of friends and have nothing to talk about. Many viewers who only enter the cinema once or twice a year dedicate their opportunity to "Wolf Warrior 2"...

further boosted the box office results of "Wolf Warrior 2"!

What is a phenomenal movie?

"Wolf Warrior 2" is like this!

……

Lu Xiaoran arrived in Boston, met with the main actors of the crew that night, and started filming the next day.

Sometimes I have to sigh at the Hollywood process, so many actors and props, it can be done in two months.

"Knives Out" is a mystery and suspense story, this kind of story has an inherent advantage in creating characters, because the characters are all shouldering important "functions", especially in the environment where "everyone has secrets", and their characteristics and temperaments must be more urgently and accurately displayed.

Harlan's eldest daughter, Linda.

The actor found Barbara Hirsch, an actress who has worked with Wen Ziren many times, and the two have worked on "Latent" and "The Conjuring"...

Linda's character, in a nutshell - she is the one who is the most inward-looking;

Linda's husband Richard, a son-in-law, is not the kind of son-in-law who comes with his own system, or simply eats soft rice - he is the most anxious person, played by Don Johnson;

Then there is Harlan's youngest son, Walter, played by Ray Warner;

- He is the most cowardly and incompetent person.

Joni, wife of Harlan's deceased son.

Internet celebrity with goods little master, the Virgin Invincible White Lotus, Joni seems to be stupid and cute, in fact, she can pretend the most, after losing the biggest bond with the Slumby family, she can still maintain close contact with the family itself speaks for itself, Joni carefully maintains her character, because this is the capital she grabs all kinds of benefits - she is the one who is the most inflammatory.

The actor found Vera Farmiga, an important actress in the cinematic universe of Wen Ziren's "The Conjuring";

Walter's son, Jacob.

American-style keyboard warrior, holding his mobile phone all day long to surf the Internet to absorb all kinds of rebellious and extreme thinking, no one in his family likes him, and he also has an indifferent attitude towards this, "Anyway, there is everything on the Internet, don't interfere with me in the real world"

This actor is easy to find, Wen Ziren horror film a bunch of child actors, arranged Gabriel Bateman...

There is also a character, the mother of 85-year-old Harlan, no one knows how old she is, and no one really bothered to communicate with her, because Grandma is too old to talk to anyone, so that Ranson and Marta do not see her as a "threatening" witness, but she is precisely the breakthrough for Detective Blanc to find out the truth - she symbolizes the ancient perspective of the previous era, and more importantly, the countless voices in society that are left out, ignored, and forgotten.

These are formulaic characters, and in addition to these, the most impressive is Jonny's daughter Meg, because she is the closest to an ordinary person.

Relying on the tuition funded by her grandfather, she studied a useless major in the eyes of everyone, some naïve, some kind, and some restrained, the key is that she is the best person in the Slumby family to the nurse Marta except for Harlan.

As a granddaughter who is not very prominent and not very likable, Meg's status in the family is not high, coupled with the influence of her mother, she can understand Marta's feelings better than others, think about Marta, and share Marta's worries, the two are not exaggerated to say that they are friends, they themselves think so, so Marta will only answer Meg's call in the chaos...

Meg, however, pretended to intercede as a "friend", but actually begged her to renounce her inheritance on behalf of the whole family, because it was in her own vital interest.

This role is quite heavy, and Wen Ziren recommends Amber Heard.

A very voluptuous actress...

It obviously doesn't match the style of the whole play...

When recommending her, Wen Ziren was vague, probably because he was threatened with spitting...

There are so many people spitting in front, why do you only catch me with a fine?

Who made you an honest man?

Lu Xiaoran doesn't care, it doesn't matter if she is a domestic violence Depp, as long as she can use it, I'm talking about acting, Lao Lu is not the kind of person who turns his fate everywhere - even if others go in and spit it, the old decay has to go deep into the fate.

Tried the mirror once...

It's okay, the makeup artist can still cover up the overly beautiful appearance with a little makeup...

Finally, Caregiver Marta.

The discussion of immigration at Harlan's birthday party is a microcosm of their "condescending" attitude: whether or not they support immigrants to the United States, and how to support them, the Slumbys have a tacit premise that "the power is in our hands."

Marta is very hardworking and professional, and gives the old man enough care, and we approve of you—that's what you should do, and we can even accept you as a "family member" at our discretion—but if you take the old man's nest and turn over and become the master in the old man's confusion, it will be a mess of the rules and a bad duty.

In the shoes of the Slumby family, the Slumby family is not wrong in their thinking, isn't it natural for future generations to inherit the property of their elders? Harlan, who holds the whole book, is a "deviant" person, and what he values most is not blood, but the quality of diligence and sincerity.

Decipher: Ranson knows about his grandfather's will and wants to invalidate it through the law of the killer, the main purpose of which is to make Marta lose the right to inherit.

To be honest, with so many actors, Lu Xiaoran is a little face blind, a little stumbling in the first three days, and only a little better after that...

……

Back home...

You don't have to go back to China, even on the shooting site, there is a situation about "Wolf Warrior 2" - this movie is too hot!

Especially in this year's Hollywood base camp, the North American summer file has hit a new low in the past ten years, to what extent, the opening score of "Ace Bodyguard" released by Orange is only 21.6 million US dollars, and it can reach the point of three consecutive championships over the weekend...

You must know that the North American box office of "Ace Bodyguard" is only 58.07 million US dollars, and it has won three consecutive championships...

Starring Ryan Reynolds and S.H.I.E.L.D. Director Samuel L. L. Jackson, both of whom took a pay cut and got a share, the cost was $32 million...

On the contrary, "Wolf Warrior 2" in the Chinese market shines!

Eight days after its release, the cumulative box office exceeded 2 billion...

Equivalent to 280 million US dollars, it costs 250 million yuan, less than 35 million US dollars...

How does Hollywood feel about this?

At first, he scoffed at it, saying that it was "nationalist propaganda", 2 billion box office, and there was no sign of abating, and a group of people began to officially - after "Wolf Warrior 2" landed in North America, the box office in the first weekend was 1.85 million US dollars, which was not high, but it also reached the top 20 on the list...

Rotten Tomatoes score: audience freshness is as high as 88%!

On the tenth and eleventh days of the release of "Wolf Warrior 2", the single-day box office climax was ushered in: 405 million and 426 million...

"Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms" trembled...

Then a group of Warners came, yes, it was really a group of people who came to the filming site of "Knives Out", and asked Lu Xiaoran very frankly: "Does Wu Jing speak English?"

And "Is Wu Jing interested in starring in Hollywood action movies?"

even asked directly, 'If Wu Jing comes to play Warner's film, is $5 million enough?'
