Early Monday morning, in a reception room at Relativity Entertainment, Liam Neeson flipped through a newspaper and waited patiently for Ronan to come over.

When he first joined the company, he had seen it specifically, and Relativity Entertainment seemed to be holding a regular meeting.

Liam Neeson isn't in a hurry, and the newspaper has a lot of news he cares about, like "Hurricane Rescue," which just came out last weekend.

It was the first time he had done so many very tricky and skillful action scenes.

It's completely different from starring Kui Gangjin in the soft dance of holding a glow stick.

""Hurricane Rescue" topped the North American box office charts!"

Just seeing this topic, Liam Neeson is in a good mood, who doesn't want the film he starred in to win the box office?

Besides, as a father in real life, he really likes this film.

Human traffickers are everywhere, but agent dads aren't available to everyone.

"Last week's overall box office trend in North America was relatively stable, with the total box office value rising from nearly $130 million last weekend to $134.6 million this week, with the performance of the two new films "Hurricane Rescue" and "Manhattan Maid" with their own merits, and the action film "Hurricane Rescue" produced by Shahai Entertainment and distributed by Embassy Pictures won the crown. ”

This is also the fourth North American box office title for a film released by Embassy Pictures this year. In 2002, the four films produced by Shahai Entertainment and distributed by Embassy Pictures under Relativity Entertainment all won the first place at the North American box office during their release weekends!"

"Although Relativity Entertainment has produced a limited number of films, the results are remarkable!"

Liam Neeson thought back to it, except for "Hurricane Rescue", which just won the box office title, the first three seem to be "Resident Evil", "Tales of the Night" and "Death is Coming 2".

This relativistic entertainment is obviously taking the boutique route.

He had roughly read a statistic before, although he didn't remember it very clearly, but the global box office of "Resident Evil" and "Tales of the Night" seems to be around $160 million, and the global box office of "Death is Coming 2" is gradually approaching $200 million.

Combined with operations outside of theatrical chains, the total revenue of these three films will not be less than the combined figures of the global box office.

Liam Neeson recalled that in the second-tier Hollywood companies this year, Miramax is definitely not as good as Relatalistic Entertainment, and Summit Entertainment itself is a strategy of casting a wide net, and its profitability is actually average.

In other words, New Line Pictures and DreamWorks can be ranked ahead of Relativity Entertainment.

New Line Pictures will release "The Two Towers" next month, and based on the sensation caused by "The Ring Squad" last year, it is speculated that "The Two Towers" will inevitably be a box office hit.

Needless to say, DreamWorks is in the position of the absolute leader of the second tier of Hollywood in all other aspects, except for the lack of distribution channels outside of North America.

Even in the past two years, in terms of movies, it has faintly threatened the tail of first-line companies.

But in comparison, Relativity Entertainment was the latest, and Ronan Anderson is also the least experienced compared to Spielberg and Robert Shea, and it is very rare to be able to bring the company to this level.

Anyway, he asked himself if he had this ability.

Liam Neeson went on to read the newspaper.

"Action has always been a popular genre of movies, and if you want to say the hottest action movie in the past two years, "Spy Movie" initiated by Ronan Anderson must be counted. This film is not only fierce at the box office, but also has its character of portable DV shooting, rapid joint skill fighting, and no nonsense that drags mud and water. ”

After "Spy", this ferocious action element gradually began to affect other action movies, resulting in the decline of foreign kung fu routines in Hollywood. And Ronan Anderson's "Hurricane Rescue", thanks to the production of the same production company, has inherited this excellent factor very well, and the fist-to-flesh fight scenes are dizzying and dazzling. ”

Strictly speaking, this "Hurricane Rescue" should be said to be a follow-up work of "Spy Shadow". But it should be noted that there is nothing pejorative about this trend, on the contrary, it is very individual. ”

Liam Neeson's large number of action scenes in the film have conquered many fans, and many viewers who have watched it have given a very high evaluation to the action scenes of "Hurricane Rescue". ”

Driven by 3,120 theaters, "Hurricane Rescue" earned $43.38 million in the opening three days of its opening weekend, easily topping the North American box office charts. The second place was occupied by "Die Again" in the second week of its release, with a box office of $29.1 million, and "The Manhattan Maid," which also opened this week, received $17.8 million, ranking third......

Liam Neeson focused on the film's word-of-mouth.

In terms of reviews, IMDB's 11,458 users scored 8.3, and the Cinema Score 2,076 fans in theaters scored A overall, but the critics had a poor reputation, and Rotten Tomatoes was rotten by collecting reviews, with a freshness rating of only 58 percent. ”

Seeing the end, Liam Neeson scratched his head a little, but after thinking about it, he was relieved.

This kind of film is not made for film critics, and it doesn't matter if they have good or bad reviews.

As a veteran actor, Liam Neeson knows very well that there is only one standard for evaluating the film and its creators within Hollywood - commercial performance.

"Hurricane Rescue" is a big success, then his value, status and fame will inevitably skyrocket.

Liam Neeson finished reading the newspaper and waited a little longer, and Ronan knocked on the door with a file bag.

"Sorry to wait, Liam. Ronan shook hands with him and said, "Today Monday, the company has a bit of a lot of business. ”

Liam Neeson smiled and said, "It's okay, I came a little early." ”

The two sides agreed to meet at ten o'clock, and he came at half past nine.

Ronan was in a good mood and said, "Our film has been a huge success, and a sequel will be on the agenda soon. ”

Liam Neeson knows the benefits that the series can bring to him, and he says directly: "I have no objection to continuing to play Brian. Ronan, you can ask someone to talk to my agent directly, and I'll talk to the agent when I get back. ”

"Yes. Ronan also looked very happy: "Liam, I hope we can cooperate for a long time in the future." ”

Behind every big-name star or director in Hollywood, there is a long-term cooperation with a film company, and Liam Neeson is a veteran of Hollywood, so he naturally knows this, and said: "I also hope to cooperate for a long time." ”

Ronan smiled and said, "Liam, there are two sequels behind "Hurricane Rescue", both of which have a lot of action scenes, I hope you can keep exercising to cope with the action scenes." ”

"No problem. Liam Neeson said.

Ronan handed the bag to Liam Neeson: "There's a character here, you go back and check it out, if you're interested, we can work together again outside of the Hurricane Rescue series." ”

Liam Neeson was a little confused: "This is ......"

Ronan said directly: "I have basically negotiated with Warner Bros. and DC Comics, and the Batman movie will be restarted soon, and the information I give you is about Bruce Wayne's teacher, Master Ninja." ”

The negotiations related to the "Batman" movie have reached the final stage, and Ronan from Christopher Nolan has also said hello, and he is the first producer and has the final decision of the actor, and the role of ninja master, the first choice is of course Liam Neeson.

Liam Neeson said: "I'll look at the information first, and then I'll talk about it later. ”

He couldn't have taken on the next role without even knowing the role and the project.

Ronan was not reluctant and said, "Yes." ”

Regarding the other rescue series, Ronan didn't mention it for the time being, it's too early to say that.

Of course, as long as the sequel to "Hurricane Rescue" goes well, it will definitely push Liam Neeson on the road to the god of rescue.

Save your wife, save your daughter, save the sky and save the air.

This not only allows Liam Neeson to realize its self-worth, but also Relativistic Entertainment can profit from it.

Thinking back to his previous life, Liam Neeson trained Batman, trained Jedi, Zeus, fought wolves with bare hands, and was the lion king Aslan......

The climax of life is to spend a lifetime saving people.

Liam Neeson's Rescue Universe has been kicked off by "Hurricane Rescue".

The trend of the film in North America is relatively stable, but the second weekend still took a certain impact, after all, the "Harry Potter" series produced and released by Warner Bros. is in the limelight, even if "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" is far less popular than the previous "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", it still has a certain impact on other films screened in the same period.

"Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" topped the box office with $83.4 million, and "Hurricane Rescue" slipped to second place, but the $24.2 million second-weekend box office was enough to ensure that the film continued to show on a steady track.

Combined with the harvest of the previous four working days, the North American box office of "Hurricane Rescue" reached $81.24 million.

The film is stable, the audience has a good reputation, and the total North American box office is very promising to hit $200 million.

In addition to North America, "Hurricane Rescue" was also released in 30 other countries and regions outside of North America this weekend, with the United Kingdom receiving $11.32 million in its opening weekend, France receiving $9.81 million, and Germany also receiving $8.89 million......

In its first weekend overseas, the film grossed $38.71 million overseas.

In the following month, "Hurricane Rescue" will be released in more than 80 countries and regions around the world.

Its global box office is estimated to be above $300 million.

After reading all aspects of market data statistics, Ronan is basically assured that "Hurricane Rescue" is basically assured, even if there is a plunge in the future, the film can be profitable at the box office.

"Hurricane Rescue" can be said to be a film that successfully integrates many elements.

Action design, for example, combines the best of kung fu, martial arts, Muay Thai and boxing.

More and more Hollywood films have begun to try to integrate cultural and ethnic elements from all over the world into their creative styles, and diversification and integration of other excellent cultural elements will also be the development trend of Hollywood films.
