Three days after the weekend of October 29th-31st, the time quietly entered November, and the North American weekend box office list also had a new result, "Saw 2" defeated the American version of "The Grudge", "The Soul Singer" and other films, and won the weekend championship with a box office of 35.72 million, compared to its 5 million production costs, Flame Movie only took three days to recover its costs in North America, and at the same time made a huge profit, according to the forecast of The-Numbers, "SA2" The global box office is seen at more than $150 million.

The cost of the first part is 3 million, and the total box office is 145 million; the cost of the second part is 5 million, and the final estimate is 150 million under the normal expectation of the opening victory! It is equal to 8 million crazy rolls and nearly 300 million box office! And "SA3" and "SA4" are bound to appear...... In recent years, there have been series such as "Scream" and "Death is Coming", but in 2000, the production cost of "Scream 3" has risen to 40 million, and in 2003, "Death is Coming 2" rose to 26 million, and "Chainsaw", which can be completed in 1 million US dollars + half a month, is really envious of others.

The "Youth Musical" series, the "Ice Age" series, the "Hangover" series, the "Saw Horror" series, and the sequel series "Furious Speed" and "Dance My Life" that have not yet appeared...... There will also be next year's all-Chinese style "Kung Fu Panda" and the East-West fusion "Firefly", everyone can doubt whether Wang Yang can become the darling of film critics again, be taken off the name of genius or create a new peak, but few people doubt his propaganda methods and his commercial ability, even if it is a big bad movie.

However, the big bad movie has not happened yet, and there are more and more enviable treasures in flame movies, so that the film merchants and the media are a little numb: "Oh, it's a flame movie again!" FF now seems to be bound to win the first week championship every time a movie is released on a large scale.

Following Justin Lin and Paul Feige, James Wing and Ray Warner from Australia have seen the brilliance and potential of these good brothers through two "heartbreaking" works, including Universal, 20th Century Fox, Emperor Gate, Lionsgate, Pinnacle and many other large and small studios are interested in inviting them to make horror films for them, but the two will continue to do their best to create "Saw 3" released next year and complete a complete "SA" The trilogy has no intention of being distracted for the time being, and of course the high box office dividends of the first two games support their rhythm.

"I'm really grateful to Wang Yang, not just for Flame Investing in SA. In an interview with Variety magazine a long time ago, Ray Warner laughed and said: "He almost saved my life, and the acupuncture treatment made my headache improve and stabilize, and I got the health and peace of mind that I wanted the most. For the future development, Wen Ziren said with a smile: "We don't want to live up to the expectations of Magic Yang, and all the fans of "SA", "SA" is not our life, but doing it well is what we want to think of the most at present." ”

I have long known that I will not be able to get James Wynn and Ray Warner to join in the short term, but Lionsgate Films has other ideas, except for "Fahrenheit 911" for several years, there has been no success, and the fancy "Crash" was taken by Flame Movies, after four years, Jon Philtimmel feels that it is time to restart "Ghost Record 3", and Magic Yang's fame has increased many times compared to the release of "Ghost Record 2" on Halloween in 99, I don't know how many times; if he hadn't married early, the "idol director" would be more charming than now.

Although Wang Yang has dropped a few notches from the popular girls, Lionsgate has no reason to let go of this dazzling signboard and this bright banner: "The latest sequel to Magic Yang's debut", "The latest sequel to the DV movie pioneered by the Oscar Best Director", "Do you dare to come and watch? Be careful to be paralyzed by scare...... It's just that the producer of "Ghost Shadow" is Wang Yang, and "Ghost Shadow 2" is Lionsgate, and the copyright issue of the third sequel still needs to be discussed, but Jon Philtimel is confident, not to mention that the flames have been sniping Lionsgate in the film buying market all these years, this may be normal market competition, but Flame & Lionsgate is still an alliance, and there have been contacts and cooperation in various aspects such as distribution channels.

"Invite Wang Yang to direct? He is unlikely to agree. Hearing the suggestion of production manager Michael Parsenneck, Jon Filtimmel was naturally very moved, skipping the bad second part, moving back to the apartment from the office, school and other places where the main story took place, so that the name "YOUNG-ANG" appeared in the three important positions of screenwriter, producer, and director, even if there is only one "Executive-producer" who is not in production, can "forget the past", and take the third part as the orthodox "Ghost Record" The sequel, resurrecting this gold mine that is by no means inferior to "Chainsaw".

will be released on Halloween next year, and if it can be moved to other schedules because of the problems of "SA3", "Magic Young" alone can guarantee a box office of 100 million. The idea is very beautiful, but Jon Fittimmel does not have a little bit of confidence, although the shooting and post-production cycle of pseudo-documentaries such as DV and high-definition cameras are very short, and they can even be completed in one or two weeks in a magical high-speed and high-yield style, but now it is not what it used to be, Warner Bros.'s "Batman" was rejected miserably, Paramount's kind invitation has not been answered for many years, DreamWorks, Universal, MGM ...... Six years ago, Wang Yang broke his leg in Hollywood with a CD, and everyone said that this kid didn't know the sky, and now he is the most popular producer, director, and screenwriter, and everyone aspires to have a "magical aura".

Thinking of these, Jon Filtimmel couldn't help sighing, and recalled carefully that even if Wang Yang was invited to direct "Ghost Record 2", the guy who "controlled everything" might not necessarily agree, not to mention that now, it is almost impossible to invite Magic Yang to participate in the production, and today when you are a super director, will Wang Yang still hold a DV camera to shoot things? Despite this, Jon Filtimmel still said to Michael Parsenneck: "You and I both ask, remember not to upset him!" Hopefully, Jan will remember some of the old feelings. ”

"Shhhh

It was Halloween, not on a Saturday last year, but on Monday, Wang Yang worked all day and went out with Jessica at night until nearly the early hours of the morning before returning home, which broke her record for the latest sleep in recent months, and he had already made some preparations, one of the must-have programs for Halloween, scary. The DV machine used to record is placed on the kitchen cabinet opposite the refrigerator, also obscured by a rag, and the camera captures a blue portrait and the dining room is silent.

"Jan, where are you, dear, what's wrong?" Jessica, who was wearing plaid pajamas and a coat, walked into the dining room suspiciously, when he was taking a shower just now, he said that he was going to the kitchen to find something to eat, but she couldn't find him when she came out of the shower, and the phone was in the living room, where did he go?

Jessica felt that this idea was not outrageous, was he playing some scary tricks? She looked left and right in the dining room kitchen, he was not here, and when she was about to turn around, she found that the faucet in the wash basin was dripping "tick-tock", and the voice was especially obvious in the silent early morning, "Why don't you turn it off when you use it!" Jessica muttered and walked over, only to see that the wash basin was filled with a basin of red water that seemed to be blood, not the smell of red wine, but a faint fishy smell, she turned off the faucet, looked at the basin of water a little scared, did not dare to reach out and touch it, shouted, "Honey!

"What is this...... Where did he go?" The more Jessica looked at the basin of red water, the more uncomfortable she felt, but she also knew that it was mostly his Halloween prank! There was never a lack of surprise romance with him, and there was no lack of these jokes and spoofs, sometimes he was really played to death! Just thinking about it, Jessica suddenly found a few red palm prints on the refrigerator next to her, and then found that it had red water dripping out, making a big puddle on the ground, she laughed: "What are you doing......" But her heart was a little hairy, she opened the refrigerator slowly, and suddenly exclaimed briefly: "Ahh

I saw a bloody severed hand on the bottom of the refrigerator, and a silver ring on the ring finger of the palm, a very familiar silver ring!

"Ahhhh She couldn't stand steadily, she reflexively turned around in a hurry, waved her fists wildly, and saw Wang Yang laughing happily at the dinner table not far away, prank, she was scared!

"Hahaha! Jesse, Jesse ......" Wang Yang laughed so hard that he almost covered his stomach and walked towards her, raising his left hand and shaking it, wearing a wedding ring on his ring finger; Jessica, who had just been almost stunned, had not yet recovered her breath, she covered her mouth with her hands: "Oh my God, oh God! You, you ......" She suddenly laughed out in relief, and scolded loudly: "You're a nasty!

WANG YANG HUGGED JESSICA, WHO WAS STRUGGLING SLIGHTLY, AND KISSED HER THE LIPS, AND COULDN'T HELP LAUGHING: "HAHA, YOU'RE SO FUNNY!" HE SMILED AND POINTED TO THE OPPOSITE CABINET: "THE CAMERA IS THERE! THERE'S A PANORAMIC SHOT OF THE CHAIR OVER THERE, THERE'S NO NG! " HE SAID AND POINTED TO THE DOOR OF THE DINING ROOM, OF COURSE, IF IT IS TO BE UPLOADED TO YOUTUBE IN THE FUTURE, THESE FOLLOW-UP INTIMATE SCENES WILL BE CUT, BUT THE WHOLE PROCESS OF HOW SHE WAS INTIMIDATED IS VERY CLEAR.

"Hahahaha!" Jessica couldn't help laughing, he was her nemesis, there was nothing she could do with him! She pounded his chest fiercely, and laughed crisply: "Idiot! You scared me to death, oh God! I thought you were hiding in the refrigerator, I thought it was so strange! How can you hide in such a big guy?" Wang Yang suddenly screamed again: "There is a ghost behind you!" Jessica rolled her eyes with a smile: "No, I'm not afraid." And ......" she said in a serious tone: "This video is not allowed to be uploaded!"

"What!?" Wang Yangle's eyes widened with great sadness, why? It was so funny and interesting that it couldn't be uploaded! He appealed unconvincedly: "Your Excellency, this is my carefully directed "Ghost Record 3"! Maybe it can cause a wave of DV short films that frighten his wife and girlfriend. Jessica shook her head non-negotiable: "I don't care." Although he was afraid of his wife, Wang Yang still didn't want to give up: "Hey, why are you so serious? It's not like Paris Hilton's ......."

Jessica seemed to have an idea, interrupting him and asking, "Where's Danny?" Wang Yang sighed, "I'm sorry, I let it stay in the garden." Jessica was surprised: "How can you do this, it's not summer!" Danny must have been terrified. ”…… Time flies quickly, when October 29th - November 4th came to an end and came to a new weekend, the seventh episode of "The Big Bang Theory" recorded 21.56 million viewers on Thursday night, and "Joey" did not stop receiving 11.69 million;

The well-received American version of "The Grudge" ranked second, with 21.81 million in 3,348 theaters in its second week of release, and the total box office in North America has reached 70.68 million, compared to its production cost of 10 million, Sony/Columbia has reason to cheer; the new biopic "Soul Singer" received 20.03 million box office in 2006 theaters and won the third place this week; and the animated film "Shark Story" dubbed by big stars such as Will Smith and Angelina Jolie ranked fourth with 7.......5 million In addition to "The Incredibles", which will fully land in 3,933 theaters in North America this week, fans have been focusing on the "Firefly" trailer in recent days. In the fourth quarter, many movies released at the end of the year and a few blockbusters to be released next year have released trailers one after another, unveiling the mystery with intuitive images, some bring anticipatory shock, some are decent, and some just bring disappointment, "Firefly" is undoubtedly the most eye-catching, the top soundtrack, selected shocking pictures, and concise lines are perfectly combined, so that many fans and fans can watch it again and again.

This is also due to the fact that the trailer video has been posted on Yahoo.com, and all netizens around the world who don't need to go to the theater can see it.

Esteban wrote: "This is one of the best movie trailers I've ever seen, I'm impressed by the beautiful cinematography, the fierce battles, and the flavorful cowboys, and I hope the film will be so exciting and meet all my expectations!" Roshan-C wrote: "The special effects are amazing, those battleships set me and my friends on fire! It will be the top visual treat next year, and its opponents are "Star Wars Prequel 3", "Batman", "War of the Worlds", and "Fantastic Four". Talbot-Nice also praised the spectacular imagery: "A predictable summer box office bomb, IMAX camera crazy effects, imaginative scenes are incredible, but the only thing that worries me is whether it will have an intriguing story?...... There are even die-hard fans who take screenshots of the scenes in the 2.5-minute trailer, and analyze and guess their plot, role, meaning, etc., the Tranquility swept over the grassland, and the scene of wild horses galloping made them see the hope of western cowboy + interstellar sci-fi, and the streets of future cities with Chinese and English also seem that the world can indeed develop so much; there are more and more questions, will Captain Whirlwind die? What does the Taiji City recognized by fans represent? What does it mean for the blue gloves to smash the little girl's big bear rag doll?

Die-hard fans are entertained by these discussions and conjectures, and don't mind watching the trailer a few more times. However, what they don't know is that the post-production special effects of "Firefly" are far from finished, especially in the IMAX film part, and the highlight shots of the trailer are only done according to the storyboard drawings.

Despite this, the flame movie has implemented the "strike while the iron is hot" publicity plan, as if there is no new idea at all, the official website of "Firefly" grandly released the first version of the retro hand-painted poster, Captain Marr and others' cowboy clothes are very suitable for retro temperament, their half-length photos holding pistols are located above the poster, in the middle is the Tranquility spaceship, the title FIREFLY, director YOUNG-ANG and other information, below are blue gloves, The faces of the bad guys such as the marauders, and the whole poster design is very beautifully drawn, which seems to be a movie from the 60s and 70s of the last century.

This trick has successfully attracted the attention of media fans, and fans have collected pictures and left messages suggesting that it be printed into physical posters, but many people doubt that the viral marketing of "Firefly", which has a production cost of 200 million, is that all?

"Huh, Huh, ......Huh" has been busy for a week of editing "Firefly", "The Big Bang Theory", "Prison Break" two sets of TV series planning and reviewing scripts, as well as TOUTUBE's website construction matters, etc., Wang Yang is looking forward to the new weekend in a full and happy busyness, he can rest well, he has no lazy bed habits, but he also has no early getting up habits, he has always been timed, and now there is still a period of time before he gets up, he turned around but hugged the air, why did Jessica get up so early today? WOMEN ARE LIKE THAT SOMETIMES, HE DOESN'T CARE ABOUT CONTINUING TO FALL ASLEEP ...... "HELLO." In the DV camera, Jessica greeted with a smile, she turned the camera to Wang Yang who was sleeping on the bed, with a pretty face holding back a smile, picked up the MP3 connected to the megaphone in her hand and pressed it, and the bedroom suddenly sounded with a rapid and amazing loud noise...... Wang Yang, who was half-asleep, rolled off the bed completely reflexively, slammed on the ground, and he jumped up with agility again, looked around with wide eyes, and shouted blankly: "Hell! what's going on!?"

"Hahahaha!" Jessica happily bent over and laughed maniacally, trying to keep the DV in her hand filming his embarrassment: "This can definitely cause a trend of DV shorts that scare her husband and boyfriend!"
