1027 Overseas Frenzy

"Arthur. Princess Beatrice is about to hold a private painting party, do you have a guest list?" Elizabeth's voice was still calm and cold, and she couldn't detect the specific emotional details at all.

But this is Elizabeth, Arthur is not surprised, "Yes. I'll send you an email in a moment. "I didn't ask why, I just came to a conclusion with a clean face.

"Okay. Elizabeth paused for a moment, "Also, please send an invitation to Sebastian by the way." Princess Beatrice came to the gallery today in person and sent out an invitation, and the official invitation should arrive tomorrow. "Sebastian refers to Lan Li's middle name, Lan Li-Sebastian Hall.

Arthur nodded in a sudden understanding, obviously, the princess couldn't wait, and immediately sent out an invitation. Twenty-four years old is still impulsively young, very young. Involuntarily, the smile on the corner of his mouth rose.

However, Arthur's voice remained steady, and he asked, "So, do you want him to attend, or not?" Different thoughts and thoughts, naturally with different words, can be felt between the lines.

In fact, Arthur knew that no matter what the wording, Lan Li would not come back. There is an itinerary for the promotion of the film, and after that, he needs to return to the West End stage and continue to perform, he has no time to attend these aristocratic parties, and he has no interest. But Arthur didn't poke it, and deliberately said it, waiting for Elizabeth's answer.

"I want the princess to know that the invitation has been sent out without a hitch. Elizabeth's reply was still unfazed, and she didn't feel any fluctuations, but her words were meaningful:

She didn't want Lan Li to attend, she just sent an invitation, kept her promise to the princess, and then threw the black pot of "not attending" to Lan Libei.

Then Elizabeth hung up, leaving a busy voice, and the smile on Arthur's lips rose softly, gently.

Lan Li won.

In the midst of this family war, Lan Li truly won. Although Arthur already knew the end of the story, it was not until today that the matter was formalized, and although Elizabeth refused to admit and refused to compromise, she had already realized that Lan Li was no longer a passive child who was beaten, and that he not only had his own life and career, but also his own life and world.

In London's high society, the Blue Rite has taken its place.

This was true of Elizabeth, it was true of George, and even Elf was no exception.

Suddenly, Arthur was a little envious, the smile in his eyes slowly settled, and then he picked up the black tea in front of him and began to enjoy it slowly.

Perhaps, Empire magazine never realized that this story could make such waves, but the truth is that everything has changed, and from this moment on.

……

Although this analogy is not accurate, the fact is that even the traditionally reserved upper class and aristocracy can no longer contain their excitement and excitement, and even more so the common people, the wavelength and afterglow of the "hereditary aristocracy" can be clearly felt throughout Britain, even in the remote Scottish Highlands.

After all, the status of the aristocracy in England was still distinctive.

In the midst of such attention, the global box office of "Edge of Tomorrow" is rising.

Before the release of the movie, the overseas box office of this work also lacked enough gimmick highlights, and the entire cast lacked strong bright stars, although Jennifer Lawrence's "The Hunger Games" achieved a box office success in the North American market, but the overseas market was only 280 million US dollars, and the overall performance was far inferior to that of North America, and the so-called box office appeal was naturally greatly reduced, so the most appealing is undoubtedly Blue Gift.

But Lanli's overseas influence is far from strong.

The overseas box office of "Fast and Exciting / Love 5" is as high as 500 million, but it relies on the appeal of the series of movies; the overseas box office of "I Fight Cancer" is even lower than that of "Buried Alive", and the data of the two works has not been able to exceed 70 million; the only thing worth mentioning is "Love is Crazy", which won 100 million and 2 million in the overseas market, which is also the most influential work of Lan Li at present.

Therefore, when "Edge of Tomorrow" landed in the overseas market, Warner Bros. did not expect much.

Although the film was released in 56 countries and regions, reaching the level of a top commercial production, Warner Bros. focused its publicity on North America. In other countries, only four cities in Europe have been promoted, and there are no corresponding itineraries in Tokyo, Seoul, Hong Kong/Hong Kong, and North/Kyoto in Asia.

After the box office data was released, it was a big surprise!

The UK has deservedly become the largest overseas box office of "Edge of Tomorrow", with a box office figure of $65 million, temporarily ranking second at the annual box office, second only to the "Avengers" of 80 million - what is truly incredible is that in the United Kingdom, the total box office of this work is twice that of "The Hunger Games", which shows the unparalleled strong appeal of Blue Rite.

China has become the second largest overseas box office, which is definitely a complete accident, even North America has been exclaimed again and again, the current Chinese market for Hollywood superstars and popcorn commercial movies value orientation is still relatively obvious, "Edge of Tomorrow" does not have any so-called superstars to lead, the final box office is as high as 53 million US dollars, which is really a huge surprise.

To that end, Warner Bros. conducted a survey on China's Weibo and other film conglomerates to ask why Edge of Tomorrow was so popular.

"Lan Li-Hall", which became the option with the highest turnout, but not as imagined in the North American market, on the one hand, because Lan Li is the youngest Oscar winner in film history, and on the other hand, because Lan Li showed outstanding Chinese language ability at the Berlin Film Festival, which is widely known. Invisibly, Lan Li has also become a fierce hit in mainland China.

In addition, the excellent word-of-mouth in North America, the outstanding performance at the box office, and the word-of-mouth after the local release have become the top influencing factors.

This is an extraordinary reference for Warner Bros. and the major film companies throughout North America.

This is the first time that Lan Li's starring work has landed in China, and it has made a good start, and Lan Li has successfully seized the opportunity in the Chinese market, which is gradually opening the door.

Later, when Andy Rogers relayed the news to Lan Li, even Lan Li himself was surprised and laughed, expressed surprise at the box office success of "Edge of Tomorrow", and then said meaningfully, "Maybe, that's my hometown." ”

In addition to the United Kingdom and China, the overseas box office performance of "Edge of Tomorrow" is from high to low, namely Mexico, Australia, Japan, Brazil, South Korea, Russia and France, and the cumulative total box office of these seven countries and regions has exceeded 20 million, of which Mexico and Australia both exceeded 40 million.

On the South American continent, the box office performance of Mexico and Brazil is eye-catching, and even the overall level has surpassed that of Europe, Chile, Colombia, Argentina and other countries and regions have also achieved good box office figures, it seems that since the completion of the filming of "Fast and Thrill/Emotional 5" in Brazil, with the role of Luke Hobbs, Blue Gift has gradually had an audience base in South America, which is another unexpected surprise.

In addition, the cumulative total box office of Argentina, Germany, India, Italy, Hong Kong, Spain and other countries and regions has also crossed the 10 million threshold, which also makes "Edge of Tomorrow" have a total of 16 countries and regions to achieve such good results, second only to the 22 of the "Avengers".

Among them, "Edge of Tomorrow" successfully won the weekend box office championship in nine countries and regions including the United Kingdom, China, Mexico, Australia, and Japan, and four countries and regions successfully won the championship for a week;

In the end, "Edge of Tomorrow" swept 630 million US dollars in overseas markets, which also made the film's global box office reach 1.18 billion, temporarily behind the "Avengers" in 2012, and ranked second in the three box office lists in North America, overseas and the world.

At the same time, "Edge of Tomorrow" also became the thirteenth work in film history to exceed one billion dollars at the global box office, temporarily ranking fifth on the film history list, behind "Avatar", "Titanic", "The Avengers", "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (II)", "Transformers 3" and other four works.

You don't need any language, just this set of data, and that's all it takes. Success, hearty success, unbelievable success, but also shocking success, and even more so for Warner Bros., "Edge of Tomorrow" is the least expensive of the thirteen films that have exceeded one billion at the global box office, in other words, the most profitable.

The focus, Lan Li has undoubtedly become the focus!

It is rumored that Warner Bros. has already begun to prepare for the sequel to Edge of Tomorrow, which is not surprising, and it is a fool who gives up making a sequel, but the original author has finished the story, and now Warner Bros. is communicating with the author, hoping that he can write a sequel and then adapt it into a screenplay.

The reason is very simple, when Warner Bros. signed a contract with Lan Li, he only signed a contract for one work - the sequel was never discussed; now, if Warner Bros. wants to continue the sequel, he must convince Lan Li, and Lan Li's emphasis on the script and the role is also a well-known fact in the industry, and there is no room for negotiation.

So, Warner Bros. is in full swing preparing for a sequel.

At the same time, the discussion has not stopped: what will be Lan Li's next work? More specifically, what will be the next commercial work, and what should be the salary?

The 20 million club seems to be a sure thing, but the question is, which studio will be the first to make a move? and this film company is more inclined to 20 million salary, or is it the trend of box office dividends led by Johnny Depp?

Also, last year, Lan Li gave up the sequel to "Fast and Thrilling" for the sake of "Edge of Tomorrow", is it really just for the pay? Is there no other inside information? So now, how should the major film companies impress Lan Li? This young actor, who is about to turn 23 years old, seems to be more difficult to deal with than Tom Cruise and Will Smith.

Just when all eyes were on Lan Li, he left New York unhurriedly according to the plan, preparing to return to London and return to the stage of the West End, as if the box office frenzy of the summer file had nothing to do with him.
