Chapter 337: The Source of Explosive Energy
"National Treasure", "The Adventures of SpongeBob SquarePants", and "The Incredibles" unsurprisingly swept the top three in the North American box office weekly list from November 19 to 25, and the fourth week of "Saw 2" was only screened in 1552 theaters, ranking ninth this week with a box office of 6.89 million, and the total box office rose to 100.77 million, becoming another R-rated horror film in film history and flame movies with a North American box office exceeding 100 million, and with a production fee of 5 million, it has created a 1900% cost return for all parties involved in the production and distribution theaters.
Of course, the bills for publicity, copy, transportation, screening, and other expenses are not exempt from paying, as well as various taxes, there is no doubt that the flame has made a lot of money again, and this year's fourth work with a box office of over 100 million yuan, and the large-scale screening is 100%.
From November 26th to December 2nd after Thanksgiving, "National Treasure" won the weekly box office champion. "The Polar Express" is not as miserable as the media expected, due to factors such as high ticket prices and audiences going to IMAX theaters, the box office change in the second week only dropped by 7.7% to receive $26.29 million, which is probably not so completely lost, which is why Robert Zemeckis is confident that he will "pit" other big studios.
Sony's new $60 million film "Escape from Christmas" didn't get much laughs, and it was in third place with a weak start of 24.51 million, but relatively speaking, they are thankful, Warner Bros.'s 155 million investment epic "Alexander the Great" has brought huge pressure to management, and the Hollywood Reporter commented that it "makes people laugh at the stupid narrative technique." "16%/12% freshness, 43% likeability, director Oliver Stone was tragically besieged by people from all walks of life.
Is this really an investment of 155 million? Many media have questioned the filmmaker's false cost, if it is true, Warner Bros. is very sad this Christmas, 2445 theaters have a box office of 24.93 million in nine days after the release on the 24th, following "The Last Samurai" and "Troy", many fans have ridiculed this, "They have said that epic movies are not easy to make, why do you have to pounce on them?" However, others at least have a box office that is strong and strong, what does it have? Maybe it is a broken Oscar dream.
Entering the end of December, not only the atmosphere of Christmas and New Year is getting stronger, but also the new film awards season has kicked off, with various film critics association awards, union awards, choice awards, Golden Globe awards, Oscars...... Although "Alexander the Great" died in battle and turned to the Golden Sour Plum Awards, there will be no shortage of films that are eyeing the list of nominees for the 62nd Golden Globe Awards that will be announced in the early morning of December 13th, "The Soul Singer", "A Cup of Life", "Hotel Rwanda", "Finding Neverland", and Jenn Kezmelik's soundtrack has been widely acclaimed...... "Stealing Hearts" released on the 3rd, "Mr. Hughes 2" released on the 10th, "Million Dollar Baby" released on the 15th, "Crash" released on the 17th, and so on.
"Mr. Hughes 2" has received high praise from critics' preview screenings and audience preview screenings, and it will be nominated for many awards such as Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, and Best Screenplay.
And in this Christmas schedule, there are many popular action blockbusters and interesting family comedies to compete for the box office, "Ocean's Twelve", "Blade 3", "The Unfortunate Adventure of Raymond Snick", "Meet the Father-in-law 2", ...... In mid-November, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, the organizer of the Golden Globe Awards, announced that it would refuse "The Passion" and "Fahrenheit 911" to participate in the selection of best feature films, because "Fahrenheit 911" is obviously a documentary, and the Golden Globe Awards do not have any documentary awards;
"The Passion of the Christ" and "Fahrenheit 911" are undoubtedly the most controversial films of 2004, with religion collecting 611 million global box office and politics also achieving 222 million, becoming the focus of global attention.
However, although Michael Moore gave the Republican Party and George Bush a heavy blow, George Bush defeated Democratic opponent John Kerry for re-election in the US presidential election in early November. Naturally, some people support and some oppose this result, the organizers of the Golden Sour Awards belong to the opposition, and countless fans have called for the worst actor in the 25th Golden Sour Plum Awards next year to be awarded to Mr. George Bush, who "starred" in "Fahrenheit 911"; of course, the worst screen partners, George Bush and Condoleezza Rice and George Bush and his pet goat.
Compared with political games, people are more willing to pay attention to entertainment gossip, and the most high-profile celebrity marriage and private life is Brad Pitt, Jennifer Aniston, Angelina Jolie's "Stealing Hearts", and recently there have been gossip rumors that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were electrocuted during the filming of "Mr. and Mrs. Smith", and the marriage of Pitt and Aniston is facing a rock. Although the Pitts' spokesperson came forward to deny all of them, and angrily denounced the rumors as "ridiculous and shameless, their relationship is stronger than ever." ”
Under the increasingly powerful offensive of the paparazzi, there are not too many impermeable walls in the world, or this is hype, attracting the attention of the media and the public to "Ocean's Twelve", Brad Pitt recently attended its promotional activities and joined hands with Jennifer Aniston, the two seem to be in love as usual, but with the "cast" of "Ocean's Twelve" and Brad Pitt's "cast", there is no need and will not play this kind of inferior propaganda means, not to mention these marriage scandal gossip to Pitt and Aniston "golden boy, model couple" 's public image is a major blow and very hurtful.
On the other hand, although Angelina Jolie has always had a fierce image on the screen, changed her private life, and contributed to charity and public welfare to make her image jump, but this kind of thing of robbing her husband and destroying a happy family is not so easy to accept, so she has been keeping a low profile and keeping silent. Then this is not stupid hype, so either it is a rumor or it is true, maybe it will soon become known.
WITH MORE AND MORE MOBILE PHONES THAT CAN SHOOT FUNCTIONS, AND WITH THE SPEED OF INFORMATION DISSEMINATION GETTING FASTER AND FASTER, THE ERA OF NATIONAL PAPARAZZI WILL EVENTUALLY COME, AND RECENTLY THERE IS SOMETHING THAT MAY BE WRITTEN IN HISTORY, THE VIDEO SHARING NETWORK YOUTUBE WAS LAUNCHED ON DECEMBER 5.
VIDEO SHARING NETWORK IS NOT A NEW THING, YOUTUBE HAS BEEN DESPISED BY A GROUP OF SILICON VALLEY CELEBRITIES LED BY MARK CUBAN BEFORE THE SITE OPENED, AS WELL AS COUNTLESS PEOPLE DESPISE, FOR WANG YANG'S KISS DONKEY BUTT BET, MARK CUBAN DID NOT RESPOND POSITIVELY, ONLY SAID "DON'T DO IDIOTIC AND BORING THINGS", DOUBLE SARCASM YOUTUBE AND BETTING. HOWEVER, WANG YANG ALSO SARCASTICALLY SAID, "YOU JUST DIDN'T TAKE A PICTURE", HE GAVE A BIG SPEECH TO NETIZENS TO "BRAVELY PICK UP THE CAMERA TO SHOW YOURSELF", AND SAID THAT THE BET IS STILL VALID, EVEN IF IT IS UNILATERAL, IF YOUTUBE DOES NOT RELEASE MORE THAN 10 MILLION VIEWS IN A MONTH WITHIN 2 YEARS, HE WILL KISS THE LIVE DONKEY'S BUTTOCKS, AND TAKE PICTURES AND UPLOAD THE VIDEO, WHICH UNDOUBTEDLY SHOWS STRONG CONFIDENCE.
"Kuban, when you lose this courage, you know that you are falling behind in some way. "The 24-year-old Wonder Yang is crazy and the 46-year-old Mark Cuban, the good deeds and fans of the movie have applauded, Wang Yang can't do it, he will kiss the donkey's buttocks! As for Cuban, except for Yang Hei and Cuban fans, no one supports this guy, it was he who provoked the war and he didn't dare to agree to the bet, and his contemptuous attitude towards ordinary people's videos is annoying.
"All he's left is a mouth now. "Isn't it good for an old aunt to watch her little nephew dance? It's much more interesting than Kuban standing on the sidelines and holding her head and yelling." ”…… THE RIDICULE OF FANS AND FANS IS ENDLESS, AND THIS WAR OF WORDS HAS NATURALLY CAUSED MANY IT AND ENTERTAINMENT MEDIA REPORTS, AND IT HAS TO BE SAID THAT THE BOMBARDMENT OF CUBAN HAS BECOME A FUEL FOR PUSHING, SO THAT MORE PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT XINNET YOUTUBE, AND MANY PEOPLE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO WAITING FOR ITS OPENING.
This incident caused Wang Yang and Jessica to have a small quarrel at that time, Jessica was dissatisfied with his bet, which is different from the box office war of words of "The Demon Wears Prada", not to mention that last year he didn't mention "what if the box office doesn't reach me", only that this is the field he is familiar with, even if he says ""TDP" global box office 1 billion", she has full confidence and will not worry too much; What if she loses a bet to kiss the donkey's buttocks? She wants to do it for him, but she definitely can't, what should she do?
It's not a spoof of SNL, it's not an MTV Movie Awards, it's true! Anyway, she doesn't want to see him humiliated, it will drive her crazy, hysterical, like a long, long time ago in the equipment store, whoever bullied him, she would beat him!
A group of friends have different opinions on Wang Yang's bet, Natalie eagerly says, "I appreciate your seemingly idiotic behavior", Rachel seems to be interested and teased, "Let's make a teaser, what will be the next time?" Donnie said: "Actually, you are more rebellious than I was when I was younger, watch out for your Jessica!" ...... was guessed by Donnie, he really didn't expect Jessica's reaction to be so big, as if she was crazy, and it wasn't the first time, isn't this time just an extra bet?
If you lose, you are willing to gamble and lose, this is the risk to win the first round of this war of words, and what about the real donkey butt, hurting the donkey? It's just funny, why live so rigidly? And he won't lose, let alone 10 million clicks, he is confident in 100 million clicks.
The quarrel broke out after a quarrel of "should I or not", "why", "have you seriously considered the consequences", and "I don't believe you", Wang Yang asked helplessly: "Are you afraid of losing face?" Jessica was suddenly enraged: "Yes, I'm afraid of losing face! Aren't you afraid!" Wang Yang was also angry: "Then I'm sorry, there will be many things to make you embarrassed." Once he uses the poisonous tongue talent on the woman's side, the consequences are very serious, Jessica feels stuffy in her chest when she hears this, and she can't breathe: "Think about the baby, will she want to see her father kiss the ass of the donkey in the future?"
"Every day is a baby, a baby. Wang Yang muttered, like a child who has lost his favor.
And then it exploded! His original intention of competing with the baby for favor was misunderstood as impatience, boredom, and fed up with married life, perhaps remembering "Desperate Housewives", Pete and Aniston, or maybe it was too hurt, Jessica cried without warning: "Woo woo woo......" She punched and kicked him, and locked herself in the bedroom and cried, ignoring how he apologized or banged on the door.
It's called a petty quarrel because it's resolved right away. When she suddenly cried, Wang Yang knew that she was wrong, very wrong! The bet would not hurt the donkey, it would hurt her, and what hurt even more was these bastard words. After tapping the door for a while and getting no response, Wang Yang kicked the door and walked in, just like every time the two quarreled and "broke up", he hugged her to death, let her beat her, let her bite, let her cry and scold, "Wang Yang, you are an ASSHOLE!" and refused to let go or speak.
waited until she was quiet, the two of them openly and honestly explained all their thoughts, and suddenly became clear, it turned out that this was the case! Wang Yang knew that she was too nervous about him, and Jessica also knew that he thought she supported him, and the two admitted their mistakes and forgave each other, and had a passionate kiss of reconciliation, which became an interesting thing again, and they took a photo of the kicked door as a souvenir, and then installed the door back.
In fact, there is nothing right or wrong about this, love is not born the most perfect partner, love and marriage are the need to keep running in and accommodating, every dispute will become more aware of each other and love, adjust each other to a most suitable frequency, this is the most perfect partner, but also the way for the two to manage each other's relationship.
AS FOR THE MATTER OF "KISSING THE DONKEY'S ASS"? WANG YANG EXPLAINED AND ANALYZED THE PROSPECT OF YOUTUBE TO JESSICA, AND HER CONFIDENT WORDS DISPELLED MANY OF HER DOUBTS, AND SINCE THE BET HAS BECOME A FACT, SHE FULLY SUPPORTS HIM! BUT AFTER SPENDING A HAPPY THANKSGIVING, MARK Cuban has been timid in the past few days, and Wang Yang has also made a unilateral bet, which made Jessica sulk for a while.
On Sunday, December 5th, at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time, netizens who had been waiting for a long time found that YOUTUBE was officially launched! Simple and beautiful interface, smooth speed, and that fresh excitement! You can choose to activate Shoyourself's old account, you can use the transfer function to transfer the old videos of Shoyourself, limited to five per day, you can register new users and re-upload yourself, but no matter what, the number of hits will be cleared, and everything starts anew.
NETIZENS WHO LOGGED ON TO YOUTUBE FOUND THAT THE EMPTY WEBSITE ONLY CONTAINED THE FIRST VIDEO, THE TRAILER OF "FIREFLY" UPLOADED BY THE USER "FIRE MOVIE" IN THE FILM AND TELEVISION ENTERTAINMENT CATEGORY. Obviously, Wang Yang and others don't want the traces of Shoyourself to affect the growth of YOUTUBE, as long as they attract the user base and video library, and they don't want people to have the impression that "YOUTUBE is a place for Flame Movie advertising", so the viral marketing plan for the trailer will not be launched so quickly, at least when YOUTUBE has a sufficient number of interesting videos of all kinds to be able to meet the browsing needs of tourists attracted by the promotional activities.
"One thing you have to know, she's a very dangerous person, and she holds some secrets that you shouldn't know......"
The Firefly logo flashed through video windows on computer screens across the United States, North America, and around the world, and the "Firefly" trailer was clicked on by countless people, "I'm just going to fight them." "Clicks break through 1,000, break through 10,000," I'm a leaf in the wind, see how I fly!" The shocking battle scene is not so exciting on the screen, and the number of user comments is also increasing, ten, one hundred, and the number of clicks is already 30,000 or 40,000, "If I die, please bring me back to the Valley of Tranquility." User Alice TUBE commented: "Amazing Jan is so handsome! Completely beats Robert Downey Jr.!" User Paranj has a different opinion: "Downey is undoubtedly the most attractive actor in Firefly." "...... the number of hits of the "Firefly" trailer keeps rising, and there are almost big changes once you refresh it, accumulating explosive energy for the release next summer; The traffic is surging, and the classified columns of those websites are gradually being filled with videos of the corresponding categories.
