Chapter 609 A wonderful year
Tiny snowflakes slowly fell down and onto the pedestrians on the street, disappearing in an instant.
In December 2013, Los Angeles finally received its first snow of the winter.
At the end of the year, the media in the Star Flag Country began to make various statistics and rankings of this year's North American film market.
The first to come out is, of course, the total box office list of the movie.
In 2013, there were only five films in North America that grossed more than $400 million.
At the top of the list was "Batman: The Dark Knight", which eventually grossed a staggering $470 million in North America.
In second place is "The Hunger Games 2: Sparks", which grossed $450 million in North America.
In third place is "Iron Man 3", which grossed $430 million in North America.
In fourth place is the animated feature film "Kung Fu Panda", as the first animated film to be released by China Animation Studio, "Kung Fu Panda" has caused a panda whirlwind around the world, and the North American box office has reached a staggering $420 million.
In fifth place is "Three Billboards", a literary drama film that relied on Peng's own huge box office appeal and finally won $401 million at the North American box office.
As for the entire Chen Jing Film Company, there were a total of 7 movies released in North America in 2013, none of which lost money, and there were 3 movies that made more than 100 million US dollars!
It can be said that this year, Chen Jing Film Company earned about $500 million from North America with the box office alone.
Of course, other independent film companies do not have such a good profit situation as Chen Jing Film Company.
Most independent film companies can only be in the film market, constantly ups and downs, ups and downs, a blockbuster film can make it an upstart in the film market, a fiasco film, may make the company bankrupt and liquidated.
Last year, there were only 13 Hollywood companies in North America that earned more than 100 million yuan a year.
The number one is still Warner Pictures, which grossed $4.1 billion at the North American box office.
In second place is Sony Columbia, which has earned a total of $3.8 billion at the North American box office.
In third place is 21st Century Foucaus, which grossed $3.5 billion at the North American box office.
Chenjing Films ranked No. 7, earning a total of $2.7 billion at the North American box office.
But among the top 10 companies in North America at the total box office, Chen Jing Film Company does have the smallest number of film releases.
Warner Pictures released 32 new films throughout the year, Columbia released 27, and Foucus also discovered 27.
However, Chen Jing Film Company only discovered 7 films, and it can be said that in terms of return on film investment returns, Chen Jing Film Company has become the first film company worthy of the name in Hollywood.
In the top ten of the North American box office rankings in 13 years, although Chen Jing Film Company only occupies 3 positions, one is "Three Billboards", one is "Spy Shadow 1", and the other is "Kung Fu Panda".
However, in the top ten of the global box office, Chen Jing Film Company's films occupy 5 positions. They are "Three Billboards", "Spy Shadow", "Kung Fu Panda", "Eavesdropping 2", and "Wolf Warrior 1".
That's right, this "Wolf Warrior 1" is a special forces movie written by Peng Yichen and invested and filmed by the headquarters of Huaxia Chenjing Film Company.
What everyone didn't expect was that Wu Jing, a little-known kung fu actor in China, actually won a total global box office score of 600 million US dollars in his first film.
And this is still on the basis that this movie was not released in the Star Flag Country, and it achieved amazing results.
Peng Yichen's script-writing ability and eye for people are still so amazingly strong and accurate.
According to the analysis and prediction of economic media such as the Wall Street Journal, although Dangchen Jing Film Company does not have any plans to go public, if this company is listed in Xingqi Country, the company's stock price and valuation must be sky-high.
According to the calculations of the Wall Street Journal, the company has a market capitalization of at least $50 billion.
According to this valuation calculation, the common net worth of Peng Yichen and Yu Jing should reach at least more than 30 billion US dollars.
This makes the couple a well-deserved "richest man" family in the entire Hollywood.
In the garden of the villa in Beverly Hills, white snowflakes spread all over the garden.
Meng Meng ran happily in the snow, rolled around, and had a snowball fight with Peng Yichen.
Of course, only Meng Meng plays "Baba", Peng Yichen will never dare to play cute Meng Meng.
Yu Jing stood aside, wearing a pair of brown gloves, building a snowman with great interest, laughing at her daughter bullying her husband.
Soon Peng Yichen couldn't resist his daughter's constant attacks, picked up Mengmeng, and kept circling in place to prevent his daughter from hitting herself with a snowball.
Yu Jing laughed and said: "Mengmeng, Dad plays Laipi, Dad can't beat you Laipi!"
Meng Meng also learned Yu Jing's words, looked at "Baba Ba" with a smile, and shouted with a smile: "Baba plays Laipi, Baba is Laipi!"
Peng Yichen smiled and hugged Mengmeng, rushed to Yu Jing's side, hugged his daughter with one hand, and kept squeaking Yu Jing's armpit with one hand.
The family of three quickly burst into laughter.
They played around for a while, and then they worked together to form a "sculpture" of the snowman that Jing had just built.
In a vast white garden, a big white and chubby snowman finally appeared.
The red keg is used for the hat, the black stone is used for the eyes, nose and mouth, and the two brooms are made for the arms and hands.
The making of the snowman is now complete!
Moe Moe runs around the snowman in circles, as happy as if she has found a new friend.
Peng Yichen looked at the energetic Meng Meng, and suddenly felt that his age was not too young.
A few years later, he was 31 years old and 32 years old.
"Time flies!"
Peng Yichen couldn't help but sigh to Jing.
Yu Jing snuggled in his arms and replied with a smile: "Yes, it seems to have grown up in the blink of an eye." ”。
The two of them looked at the snow scene, looked at the excited daughter, and gradually fell into the memories of the past together.
……
Time passed, and the filming of "Captain Sully" finally came to an end.
Huang Bo and Peng Yichen chose the filming location in New York.
As the largest city in the Star Flag Country, it is also more in line with Peng Yichen's background setting in the script.
After all, the background of the movie was set by Peng Yichen on an international flight that often flies back and forth between Shanghai and New York.
As for Peng Yichen's experience in the plot world of "Captain Sully", it can be said that Peng Yichen felt the most relaxed.
After all, he himself had been in a dream, as if he had experienced this world once.
In addition, he has just been honed by the character of the Joker in "The Dark Knight", and his acting skills are at their peak.
Although the character of Captain Sully is more complicated, he is after all a person who can be easily found in the real world.
So Peng Yichen easily won the evaluation of the actor again in the plot world of "Captain Sully".
With his master-level airplane piloting skills, he went out of the plot world.
This is one of the main reasons why the filming of "Captain Sully" went particularly well.
Even Huang Bo didn't expect that Peng Yichen would fly a plane.
Therefore, many scenes in the movie that originally required special effects or stand-ins were not used, because Peng Yichen himself could fly the plane himself, and he drove a lot more than ordinary pilots.
This also amazed the staff of Star Flag Airlines, who cooperated with them in the shooting.
A captain of Star Flag Airlines who came to the crew to guide the filming even said that if Peng Yichen didn't have a pilot license and gave him a Boeing plane, it is estimated that he would be able to fly to China himself.
In the Los Angeles City Hall, the crew of "Captain Sully" was set up as a large hearing scene.
Filming is now for Captain Sully's last questioning at the hearing, where he identifies the crux of the problem, and through computer simulations, all of which prove that if the plane were to fly back to the airport, it would crash.
Captain Sully eventually relied on his professionalism and dedication to turn the tables and prove to everyone that his forced landing on the water was the right one.
The set was quiet at this time, and the staff all looked at Peng Yichen on the hearing and interrogation table, who was painted with old makeup at this time, with white hair, wrinkled face, and a determined and calm look in his eyes.
Peng Yichen's acting skills at this time have made it impossible for anyone to see any traces of performance.
When he raised his hand and threw his foot, he was really like a middle-aged and elderly person who was over half a hundred years old.
And every time he looked at the incomparably sharp eyes in front of him, he also gave an old pilot's sharp eyes and incomparably confident state to play three points.
No one can tell that he is the world-famous director Peng Yichen, and everyone really thinks of him as the Captain Sully in the movie.
“CUT!”
At this time, Huang Bo, who was holding the director's microphone, shouted.
He raised his fist high and waved it in the air, looked around at the crowd, and shouted with a smile, "It's done!"
After speaking, Huang Bo was the first to jump up excitedly.
He really deserves to be excited.
This is the second film in his life, and the first film to be shot in the Star Flag Country.
From the end of August to December, it took 4 months to shoot, and now the movie is finally finished!
Looking at the staff in the audience, they all cheered and roared, and Peng Yichen walked off the stage with a smile.
Huang Bo walked over and hugged Peng Yichen tightly, and said with moist eyes: "Thank you, Chenzi, thank you!"
Peng Yichen replied with a smile: "What is there to thank, you took very good pictures, beyond my imagination." I'm sure you'll be crowned an Oscar!"
"Haha! Yes, Peng will definitely win the Oscar!"
The staff at the scene heard Peng Yichen's words and all shouted loudly.
Huang Bo took the microphone and shouted: "Next March, everyone will see a classic and great movie released." That's "Captain Sully" that we shot together!"
When everyone heard this, there was another burst of cheers and cheers.
In the afternoon of the same day, Peng Yichen didn't have time to attend the finale party organized by Huang Bo, so he took Yu Jing and Mengmeng and took a plane back to Los Angeles.
Although Peng Yichen will not attend the Golden Globe Awards ceremony this year, the Oscar nomination conference is about to be held.
