With the popularity of superhero movies, traditional action movies have inevitably taken a hit!

Traditional action movies lack convincing explanations for the protagonist's unconventional physical performance, obviously using Iron Man's high-tech and Jason Statham's muscles to explain the protagonist's ability are fictional content, but the superhero explanation that introduces sci-fi elements can better bring the audience into the plot, rather than having doubts about "how can this person be so good at fighting" when watching the movie.

In fact, the North American performance of "Fast and Furious: Special Ops" is not particularly ideal, especially the word-of-mouth: Rotten Tomatoes has a freshness of 66% and an IMDB score of 7.4, which is a far cry from "Super 7" and "Super 8".

Many netizens commented that this film has nothing to do with the main story of "Quick Excitement", but is just a superhero movie under the guise of a side story, at most it is a brainless popcorn movie.

Word-of-mouth affects whether the next one can be born...

You must know that the cost of Special Ops is high, close to $180 million!

In fact, the script of "Lethal Weapon" is no different from "Special Ops", both are brainless action movies...

The only difference is probably that the investment is relatively low.

Shen Ming's character is set as an avenger who offended the gang by killing people in self-defense, was imprisoned by the police for seven years for no reason, and after he came out, he directly became the avenger of the gang...

The story is old-fashioned, and it's mainly about the action!

The villain set in the first part is a gangster;

The second part is the organization behind the gang;

The third part went directly to the killer organization!

David Leitch's movie, the literary drama is a mess, and it all relies on action scenes to save face - the setting of "Extremely Cold City" is completely unreasonable, but it is cool to watch, Charlize Theron wears a leather suit and close-fitting hand-to-hand combat, ten minutes of long shots, watching it makes people's adrenaline rise...

"Extremely Cold City" cost 30 million, the global box office exceeded 100 million, and the local box office in North America was close to 60 million US dollars...

The production budget of the first part of "Lethal Weapon" is 60 million US dollars, and the local box office in North America exceeds 100 million, and the global box office exceeds 300 million.

It's hard...

You must know that the North American box office of the first part of "Spy Shadow" is only 130 million US dollars, and the global box office is 220 million...

So, Warner Bros. has been cautious, pondering whether to develop...

The release of "Jumanji" and "Ready for War" dispelled their concerns!

They decided to get on the horse right away!

"Ready for War" grossed $150 million at the North American box!

Many people in the industry believe that traditional action movies are coming back!

David Leitch has his own ideas for "Lethal Weapon", but Shen Ming is the crew's biggest bargaining chip - the salary of the first part is as high as 15 million + percent of the global box office dividends;

There will definitely be a conflict between the two of them.

Brother Ming has high requirements for the logic of the script, even if it is an action scene, he also requires the framework of the script to be within a reasonable range, and what he likes is the classic Hong Kong-style action, not the pure fist-smashing action...

When the time comes, some of them will be noisy.

……

Dwayne Johnson is one of the few actors left in Hollywood who can be called a superstar without relying on superhero films.

Needless to say, the explosions of "Adventure in the Center of the Earth", "Doomsday", "Moana" and several "fast" movies are very telling, and even lackluster action comedies like "Oolong Agent" and "Beach Ranger" can make a small profit.

The old American audience really loves him so much!

Not only the audience loves him, but even the producers love him!

In August 2016, when "Furious 8" was about to be completed, the media broke rumors that Jushi and Vin Diesel were incompatible...

Jushi, who has always shown a friendly image, posted an article criticizing Vin Diesel for being unprofessional, playing a big name, and even calling him a "coward", and then, the film owner Universal Pictures and the crew actually supported Boulder one-sidedly.

And the audience loves him too!

This Nima, Boss Fan is very dissatisfied!

But he is helpless, Dwayne Johnson does not rely on IP masterpieces like "Furious", and he can still play after leaving this series.

He has been at the top of the Forbes Actor Rich List for several consecutive years, and reached the top in 2016.

There are also people who criticize the problem of narrow and single image of the play, how can you say this?

Taking a genre to the extreme is also a great success.

His EQ is very high, and he had a very happy chat with Shen Ming...

"I watched the trailer for Joker, and your performance was amazing!"

"The trailer for "Joker" has come out, and how was the reaction?"

"The audience is looking forward to it... Did you really lose 57 pounds?"

"It's not that much, it's just publicity, but I did lose at least 50 pounds!"

"How did you lose it?"

“… It's to take the role, and then treat yourself as a role, and those who don't meet the role must try to get as close as possible..."

After chatting for a while, Dwayne Johnson sighed: "You are so powerful, I really want to cooperate with you!"

“… There will definitely be opportunities in the future. ”

How spicy and expensive are you, there's a chance to hair...

Dwayne Johnson's first independent blockbuster movie "The Scorpion King" was paid $12 million - he was originally a top WWE player, and he was famous in the fitness and wrestling circles!

When it comes to "Special Ops", his salary is $32.6 million!

Tsk, the salary is as high as 230 million yuan, and Lao Mouzi can't afford it!

……

"Fast and Furious: Special Ops", forget it, it's called "Vegetarian Chicken Gaiden"!

Strictly follows the characteristics of the Quick Thrill series: It's cool when you watch it, forget it when it's cool, and forget it and have no regrets about it!

The logic of the story is shattered into slag, the fight starts without a word, the heroes are all open, all over the world are blown up, suddenly bang bang, and the villains are all dry.

It's okay to tell bad jokes, logging is tired all over the world...

The domineering overflowed off the screen, just ask a word, who dares to touch a hair of them?

There's no hair to fall out of!

It turns out that all the essences - really all the essences - have already been put on the trailer.

Therefore, in the first weekend, 710 million yuan was gained, and the weekday fell by as much as 60%...

The total box office is predicted to be around 1.2 billion...

It's just that the next weekend, that is, the two new movies that opened on August 30, have a bad reputation and market performance!

actually let it pick up the cheap, and collected another 180 million the next weekend, plus 200 million on weekdays, ten days after its release, and the box office was 1.09 billion, and the box office forecast was adjusted at a glance, and it is estimated that it can be around 1.4 billion!

The two new works that opened the painting, "Desperate" and "Late Night Canteen"...

Shen Ming doesn't have time to pay attention to these, the box office of "Nezha" is close to 4.8 billion, and he hasn't posted a promotional Weibo - he has been busy promoting "Protecting the Flag" recently...

No matter how much he pretends not to care about the box office, Shen Ming knows in his heart that if the box office of "Flag Guard" does not reach 1 billion, it is a failure!

The current situation is very clear, the publicity of "Zhu Xian" is in full swing, and the actors who are caught because of the fire of "Chen Qing Ling" are working hard...

The distributor Bona decided to take the screening route, and it was screened nationwide half a month in advance...

Out of absolute trust in word of mouth!
