Chapter 250: Two Blossoms (4/5 Subscription Requested)
"Jumanji: Battle in the Jungle" was released in North America for ten days and occupied the box office championship for ten days, and "Bumblebee", which was released the next weekend, was directly trampled underfoot...
"Bumblebee", the general reaction: this is a movie for girls!
The setting is child's play: everything on Cybertron doesn't leave a trace on the elite warrior Bumblebee, and when he arrives on Earth, he becomes the girl's pet!
Before the amnesia, I was rhubarb, and after the amnesia, I was the big white.
Bumblebee is first and foremost a killing machine, and has become a silly cute...
It is understandable that before being bombed by Bei Tai, conservatism is the inevitable result.
But that's also too conservative!
The box office of the first weekend was $21.65 million, not only beaten by "Jumanji", but also trampled under the feet of "Mary Poppins 2"...
"Jumanji" was released for ten days and grossed a total of $210 million, and professional box office agencies predict that the film's box office end will definitely be above $440 million.
Because this is not a superhero movie.
The IP of superhero films is obvious, even the "Avengers" series, the first weekend results accounted for nearly 40% of the total box office!
"Jumanji", 82 million in the first weekend, and 130 million in the next week, surpassed...
Therefore, as long as there are highlights in family movies, the market will definitely give high returns.

Director Jack Castle spoke first: "Our filming location is Hawaii, which is the filming location of "Jurassic World"..."
"We considered a lot of actors at first, but they all turned it down..."
"Shen liked this project very much, we only met once, and we decided to let him play Dr. Smod Yongshi..."
Shen Ming took over the topic: "The most attractive thing about the whole work is: it's great to have the opportunity to play a superhero and a 16-year-old weak chicken boy at the same time!"
"Another point, "Jumanji" is actually the first batch of Hollywood movies to enter Chinese mainland in 95..."
"Robin Williams' performance is touching, he's my idol, and when you get the chance to play a role that your idol has played before, it's a lot of pressure!"
"The biggest difficulty?"
ββ¦ Come to think of it, Jack and Michael are both good at acting in comedy, these two are especially good at stealing the scene, Karen Gillan only needs to go to that stop to attract the audience's attention, in this group of people, I am actually a leader, it's too difficult!"
"Fortunately, Jack arranged a lot of exciting scenes for me, and all the scenes were given to me, otherwise, I would be very embarrassed..."
"Kiss scene?"
"Haha... After that filming, I didn't dare to talk to Karen for a few days..."
Shen Ming's answer was very Chinese, and Jack Black let him know what an American-style interview was: "I've wanted to play a middle school flower for many years, and I just think it's fun." When I saw the script, I thought to myself, oh my God, I can finally play a beautiful girl, I know exactly how to act. When I was in college, I liked to pretend that I was a girl, and I always had a little girl living in my heart, and I was so happy to release her!"
"The most unpleasant thing is that the director actually wants to break up me and Shen, the CP pair, a fat person like me is worthy of Shen, Karen is too thin, and the flesh is very important!"
"The main reason I wanted to participate was because the script was so funny that I didn't have to do too much work. Improvisation is improvisation, and many screenwriters actually don't like actors to play on the spot. β
Karen Gillan's answer can only be described as decent: "There are a lot of very exciting fight scenes, and that "dance fight" that everyone should go to see, it's really funny, and I always think it's fun to beat up men." β
"I show a lot, to be honest, it's not very suitable for wearing in the jungle, after all, there are so many bugs flying around, you should have experienced it yourself, there are a lot of bugs, but it looks good to wear. β

Hollywood also has to fight for connections!
The consultant for the entire play of "Battle in the Jungle" is Lawrence Carsdan.
Who is Lawrence Carsdan?
Hollywood's most famous screenwriters, "Star Wars 2: The Empire Strikes Back", "Star Wars 3: Return of the Jedi" and "Raiders of the Lost Ark" series, including "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" and "Star Wars Story: Han Solo" in recent years, Lawrence's masterpiece.
So why is Lawrence Castle willing to serve as a consultant for Battle in the Jungle without charging a penny?
Because, he's Jack Kasdan's dad!
Jack Castle himself said that from the script preparation stage of "Jumanji: Battle in the Jungle", Lawrence suggested that he go in the direction of "Raiders of the Lost Ark"!
What does Raiders of the Lost Ark direction mean?
Family Adventure Movie!
"The Mummy", "National Treasure", including "Tomb Raider" were all built according to this path, and they were all big hits at the box office!
Therefore, many people think that "Battle in the Jungle" is very similar to "Raiders of the Lost Ark", this is not nonsense, people are continuing this route!
Of course, in the eyes of professional film critics, "Battle in the Jungle" doesn't mean much β film critics all over the world love movies with depth!
The whole movie seems to be dragging on and lengthy, Shen Ming's action scenes are purely redundant, and there are still many loopholes in the plot. β
This movie is a popcorn movie of average quality, and the plot is ridiculous. β
The professional reputation is not good, but this did not affect the market performance of "The Jungle", which was released for 20 days, and when New Year's Day came, "The Jungle" won a single-day box office of 18 million, and the cumulative box office successfully exceeded 300 million US dollars...
β¦β¦
In the mainland, "Crazy Call" is outstanding!
In addition to "Aquaman", which was released at the same time, maintained a single-day box office of about 20 million, only "Ip Man Gaiden: Zhang Tianzhi" can play a little...
However, Zhang Tianzhi is not Ip Man after all, and the director of "Zhang Tianzhi" Yuan Baye's strength is action design, not story arrangement.
The plot of "Zhang Tianzhi" is extremely clichΓ©d and uninnovative, the bad guys are extremely face-painted, and finally disgustingly inciting the nationalist sentiments of the Chinese to resist the British, which is perfunctory.
It's understandable that literary drama is rubbish, but martial arts is also nothing to watch...
I suspect that the eighth master wants to make pension money...
Thanks to Hong Fu, who is traveling with him, "Crazy Call" actually won 400 million box office in 7 days after its release - before the release, including the producer, everyone thought that the box office of this movie was 300 million at most!
At the same time, the news that the box office of "Jumanji" broke 300 million US dollars came back to China, and a bunch of people were crazy @ Teacher Six: This is called double flowering!
Everyone knows that "Crazy Call" is the bureau of Shen Ming's group...
However, on the 29th, "Yunnan Worm Valley", which is scheduled to be the ticket king of the year, and "The Dangerous Road to Treasure Harvesting" by Uncle Ge who fights the comedy again, were released...
The industry has given the expectation that the minimum box office prediction for "Yunnan Worm Valley" is 1.5 billion, and there is no upper limit...
The expectation of "Broken Pieces: The Dangerous Way to Capture the Treasure" is slightly lower, but it also has a box office of 500 million!
When "Yunnan Worm Valley" was promoted, he also made a fuss about Shen Ming, saying that the reason for his refusal was that the salary was too low...
Of course, I didn't say it explicitly, but that's what it translates to...
