Chapter 484: Late Summer

As the time enters August, the scorching summer comes to the last month.

After 5 weeks of release, "Superman Returns" only grossed 188 million/327 million (North America/Global), and the fiasco of this masterpiece gave Warner Bros. a bitter taste again, and the new Superman Tom Welling, who was originally brought to the big screen by Wonder Young, instantly became a new generation of box office poison, and was ridiculed by the media as "Superman who has lost his magical powers".

Although Welling used to be a super popular youth idol, because after marrying Jamie White, the couple lived in Vancouver for many years, and took the initiative to reduce their exposure;

"Looking forward to MY bringing Tom back on track!!" Many fans of Welling went to Wang Yang's blog, FF official website and other places to ask and encourage Wang Yang to pull him up, like Dinah "Young, please, let Wellin win an Oscar!" pleading and pleading messages abound, indeed if Wang Yang makes a move, I believe that Wellin will not win the Oscar, and the nomination for the most popular actor in the MTV Movie Awards will definitely not be disappointed.

Naturally, Wei Lin will not be happy about his career injury, but he has not used alcohol to kill his sorrows, he is not a particularly ambitious person, and he has long been satisfied with his achievements and life. On the other hand, Willing gradually wants to be a good producer and director more than acting, like Wonder Young, who will develop in this direction in the future, and he hopes that he can have the charm of Young.

"Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Treasure of the Dead" is undoubtedly the craziest movie this summer, it first won the weekly championship of July 7-13 with a box office of 196 million opening week without any suspense, and has swept 368 million/755 million box office in 4 weeks of release, and many big box office warehouses such as France, Italy, and Spain have either just been painted or have not yet been released, according to box office statistics agencies and media predictions, the final box office of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" is expected to reach 1 billion worldwide!

In that case, this masterpiece with a Rotten Tomatoes index of 54%/40%/86% discredited participation (225 million production costs) will become the fourth 1 billion box office movie, but despite this, it has not broken any of the many records of "Firefly".

This is really good news for The Dead, as Keira Knightley's popularity is at an all-time high. The British rose is filming "Pirates of the Caribbean 3", and her "The Dead" scene will be filmed in September.

Although the pirates are fierce, it failed to win the North American weekly championship for a second time, because "Furious Speed 2" is also fierce! Flame Movie's screen strategy this summer has once again won comprehensively! This sequel to the previous 557 million global box office drag racing action movie continues to be a big hit, and director Lin Yibin continues to ignore the crazy style of physics, and all kinds of vehicles fly and smash, which excites the audience's adrenaline index to the limit!

It collected 109 million box office in the opening week, defeating the 90.66 million "Treasure of the Dead", and collected 186 million/471 million box office in 3 weeks of release, with the current trend and the scale of overseas releases, it seems inevitable to break through 600 million, and its production cost is 100 million US dollars.

"It's beyond the realm of reality, but it's a living comic. Richard Roper of "Ebert & Roeper" commented that the Rotten Tomatoes index of "Furious Speed 2" is 75%/71%/85%, a slight decrease from the first part, still because the sequel has no surprises, but the film critics and audiences generally praised it again as a very delicious bucket of popcorn, Roger Albert scored 3/4: "What is there that cleverly gathers in this 120-minute movie? The laws of physics on the sidelines, not bad. ”…… Lin Yibin, who is already hot, is even hotter, the most popular in Hollywood is not those literary directors, but commercial directors like him who can take charge alone, of course, if the latter messes up, his career will immediately fall to the bottom, and it will even be difficult to turn over.

And now, Justin Lin can shout loudly, "I'm the popular fried chicken!" and Warner Bros., Paramount, Sony/Columbia, and other studios hand over a copy of the film contract...... But he is not going anywhere, the "three giants of the young generation of Chinese directors" Wang, Lin and Wen are now only two flame people, Wen Warner is filming and producing "Dead Silence" invested by Universal, but Lin is very comfortable in the flame movie.

In addition to the remake of the Korean movie "Old Boy", Lin Yibin will also direct the unsuspenseful sequel "Furious Speed 3" for FF, unlike "The Hangover", the Flying Car series is a long-term brand plan, 4, 5, 6 will be available, as for whether the director after the trilogy is Lin Yibin, no one knows for the time being.

There is only a year between 1 and 2, but "Rage 3" will be slowed down to August 2009, not only because Lin Yibin wants to produce "Old Boy", but also a "serial plan" of FF, and the full name of the third work will actually be called "Rage Speed 3D". Maybe Wang Yang's 3D movies were leading the way at that time, maybe the "3D war" was fierce, and in any case, a crazy old flying car movie was rushing out!

I don't know whether it should be said that Flame Movie is a small studio or a large production factory, just because its blockbuster production is not less than those traditional blockbuster studios, and the production cost is often hundreds of millions, "The Green Hornet", which has been filmed for four months, has just been completed, and "Iron Man" has started as scheduled, and it is expected to be filmed for four months.

In the midst of the long-standing doubts, Jon Favreau, who was full of energy, silently picked up the director's microphone and shouted "Action", and Magic Young's trust and encouragement gave him infinite strength, and also gave Robert Downey Jr., Rachel McAdams and other main creators and leading actors full confidence.

At the same time, the Nolan family accompanied the "new Oscar-winning editor" Lee Smith and other post-production personnel to complete the work of "Deadly Magic", FF has sent the 130-minute film to the MPAA classification, and the Nolan family officially started the preparation of "The Dark Knight".

These days, Wang Yang is naturally busy with the filming of the two movies, and is disturbed by the controversy from the outside world from time to time. However, once people's devotion and enthusiasm enter a certain state, there will be a concentration that cannot be disturbed, and there will also be a tireless energy, Wang Yang is like this at the moment, running around on the set during the day, a bunch of desk work at night, and having to follow up on the production of several other films, his wife and children are beckoning to him again, he should feel tired, but he is in good spirits, and the tiger can kill a few.

It's only been more than a month, and at a frantic speed, some of the crew members on the two sets are struggling, and the busiest director is fine.

Heath Ledger's "early" entry into a state of aggravated insomnia should have nothing to do with the speed of filming, purely because he himself can't get rid of "Billy" after work, in his words, "my brain can't stop turning", he can only sleep for a while every day these days, and he relies on sleeping pills, fortunately Michelle Williams stares at him, Wang Yang stares at him, if it wasn't for filming in New York, the director is not a Pokémon, I really don't know what will happen.

Wang Yang felt that it was necessary for him to help Heath live a normal life, even if they were not friends, he didn't want to see an extremely talented young actor fall deeper and deeper into drugs, and don't forget Ryvan Phoenix. Moreover, Michelle is right, it is true that he constantly gives negative roles such as melancholy, pain, and perversion to Heath, Ennis, Blue Glove, Billy, and Joker...... In fact, he also asked the company to plan to buy the remake rights of "The Crow", handing over the 94 version of "Eric Draven", the male protagonist played by Li Guohao, to Heath.

If Ledger has any three strengths and two weaknesses, Wang Yang really can't imagine it, especially in the face of Michelle and Little Horseshoe, so in the only rest time on the weekend, he has called Ledger's family several times, and the two families have come out to go shopping.

"In the morning I went into the baby's room as usual, Matilda was already awake, she was holding on to the railing of the baby's bed, and she ...... She spoke suddenly!"

The morning sun was very bright, and the scene in Washington Square Park continued to be leisurely and lively, Wang Yang and Heath pushed the BB car, Jessica and Michelle walked beside them, and the two babies in the BB car looked at the beautiful forest scene ahead with round eyes. Several people were all smiling happily, and Michelle was very happy as she walked and said, "She said, 'Mommy!' Oh——! she said, 'Mommy!' Great!" Heath laughed happily, without any melancholy and pain, "When I went out, I seemed to hear Daddy." ”

At this time, Matilda in the BB car turned her head to look at Keke, Keke made a "ah" sound, and Marty immediately looked ahead, and Keke made another "ah" sound, and Mattie looked over again...... Hearing his daughter's voice, Wang Yang couldn't help but remember that a few days ago, he also walked into the baby's room alone, and Keke suddenly called a few times: "BABA, BABA!" He was naturally overjoyed, and was about to open his mouth and yell for Jessica to come over, but suddenly thought that she took care of her daughter every day, but Keke called her father first, it shouldn't be like this...... So he endured his ecstasy and quietly taught her, "Have you forgotten how I taught you?" and Keke called out with a sweet smile, "Daddy!" and then soon, nothing more.

Hearing Keke's "ahh And then soon, nothing was called.

"Hehe!" Michelle, of course, was not here to show off, the age difference between the two babies was still a month and a half, and she smiled: "Marty called twice, and I asked her to call again, but she refused and would not say anything else, until now." But we're already satisfied!" Heath nodded proudly, "Yes." ”

"Wow. Wang Yang and Jessica glanced at each other with emotion, no envy, only a trace of anxiety, and said in unison: "Keke doesn't know how to call Dad/Mom." ”
