Chapter 107: Suddenly targeted

With the huge advantage of the first two installments of 'Once Upon a Time,' "The Lion King" landed in North America on Thursday, earning $22 million at the box office.

This is already a very good first-day box office, after all, the cost of "The Lion King" is less than $30 million if calculated in dollars.

There are more than 70 simultaneous releases overseas, but because of the time difference, it is difficult for the box office statistics to be released at the same time.

Of course, the North American market is more complete than the domestic market, and their timely box office statistics have been released, but Xu Hui doesn't know it yet...

I believe that in half an hour at most, Huang Wen will definitely receive the box office statistics report in North America.

None of this is important, Xu Hui was surprised how Wu Jing got this data?

And he actually caught up with Xu Hui!

So, he asked, "How do you know all this detailed data?"

"My agent just texted me..."

Wu Jing handed the phone to Xu Hui, and sure enough, there was a new text message, just a few words: 'Once upon a time in China3 booking office: 22 million dollars;'

“… It seems that the theme of lion dance is very popular with foreigners. ”

Xu Hui muttered a few words to himself, and then looked at Wu Jing: "You actually have an agent in North America?"

“… My North American brokerage contract was signed with CAA... Don't you know?"

Wu Jing asked very strangely.

Damn, should I know?

CAA is one of the most famous agencies in North America, with a bunch of big-name artists, two Toms, Spielberg and Cameron are their directors, and the important objects of CAA China's signing include internationally renowned actors such as Big Brother Cheng and Wu Yanzu, as well as directors such as Zhang Yimou and Wu Baige.

At the beginning, they also had contact with Xu Hui, but Xu Hui has not been accustomed to the so-called 'packaging' policy, and his focus has always been in China, so the cooperation between the two sides has not been successful.

"I also admit that 'The Lion King' is too skewed in terms of commerciality, but its story is still above the level, and you don't need to worry too much..."

Wu Jing continued to persuade, Xu Hui was about to say something, Wu Jing waved his hand: "Don't worry about "The Invincible Benevolence", it is already my movie, it is me who should be worried!"

"I have discussed with Brother Zhizhong, your 'Huang Feihong' focuses on combining with historical facts, if we continue the old way, we may not be able to shoot that kind of thickness, let alone transcendence, so we are ready to completely break the original way!"

“… What do you want to do?"

Xu Hui became interested.

Not only him, but Zhou Yiwei and Wu Gang, who had been pretending to be asleep, were also interested.

Liang Kuan played by Zhou Yiwei and Huang Qiying of Wu Gang occupy a lot of space in the later parts of "Huang Feihong", and it is natural for them to care.

"Hehe, do what we do best, be more biased towards the capital, and set up more villains!"

Speaking of this, Wu Jing had irrepressible excitement on his face: "Actually, the two villains in "The Wind of Kings", Hercules and Duan Tianlei are very good..."

"So, you're going back to a mere contest of force?"

Xu Hui felt more and more that this was a good idea.

After all, the plot of the lion dance in the eight countries is really nonsense, and it is clear that "The Lion King" has made it clear that it does not want to fight the lion dance anymore, because there is no point in fighting for a brand of dead people. This time, it makes no sense to continue to pursue this, and Huang Feihong said what he said to Li Hongzhang in vain?

"Yes, the description of the court is enough, a red light is enough!"

Wu Jing smiled self-deprecatingly: "With so many plots, I don't have the kind of control you can make the whole plot stable!"

“… Brother Jing, I'm suddenly interested in "The Wind of Kings"!"

Xu Hui stared at Wu Jing eagerly.

He really didn't expect Wu Jing to recognize himself so clearly.

It seems that the success of "Wolf Warrior 2" is really not accidental, and it is very important for a director to be honest about his strengths and weaknesses.

……

The hotel where the crew stayed was only a 20-minute drive from the capital airport, and they will fly to Shanghai tomorrow morning to continue the promotion.

At night, at 12:10, the eye-catching data updated the single-day box office data in real time.

"The Lion King" won a single-day box office score of 78 million, crushing the single-day box office championship, and breaking countless records by the way.

By the way, on June 17, the single-day market closed at 98 million, almost breaking 100 million!

Because "The Great Cause of the Founding of the Party" also won a box office result of 14 million, we don't know how many of them were chartered...

"Okay, kiss and go to sleep!"

After the matter was over, Pao Hui returned to the previous, picked up the girl who was scrolling through Weibo, and kissed him fiercely.

And then both undressing ...

“… Wait a minute, I've got something to do!"

Yaya stopped his next move, turned the phone over, and put it in front of his eyes: "Did you offend Han Shao? Why did he target you so much?"

"What?"

Xu Hui was a little inexplicable, took the phone, took a look, and there were eight big characters written on it: '"Lion King Battle", I don't know what to do!', the signature is actually Han Shao!

"A friend texted me this morning that "The Lion King" is online, and you have time to check it out. I told him that I had seen it, and he asked me how I felt. I've never been willing to lie, I have to say that I still have expectations for a director who has filmed "Men Should Be Self-reliant", especially the 'Blue Sky and White Sun Flag' fluttering at the end of the overseas version of that work shocked me!

Under the banner of the final chapter of the "Once Upon a Time" series, the original cast continues to star, and I certainly thought it would be a work of depth.

I have to say, a big disappointment!

I guess this movie was born because Xu Hui thought that Wong Fei Hung could also perform lion dances, what kind of occasion is suitable for lion dance?

Under the auspices of Li Hongzhang, the imperial court held a national sports meeting, which was the famous "Little Olympics" lion king competition. Li Hongzhang hoped that through such a historical event, he would pay tribute to the unprecedented prosperity of the Jurchen government, especially the 4,900 years since Ms. Cixi became the empress dowager, and at the same time let the Eight-Nation Alliance know more about a "friendly and warm" Qing Dynasty, and add luster to the "Westernization Movement" that lasted for many years. The slogan of this year's Lion King Games is: Welcome to the open Qing Dynasty!

If we continue the theme of the "Wong Fei Hung" series, we should continue to criticize current affairs, and then we found that the criticism of current affairs in "The Lion King" is only point-to-point, and it seems that in order to pass the review, a paragraph of 'If you are born in a prosperous age...'

Hehe, last year's "If You Are Honest Do Not Disturb 2" let us see the ability of Chinese filmmakers to make money lying down, and this "Lion King" is not far behind, Xu Hui is not even too lazy to move his brain now, anyway, as long as he shoots it, there will be countless fans who will buy it!

Sure enough, the box office of this movie is already 68 million..."

After reading it, Xu Hui didn't express his opinion yet, and Yaya couldn't wait to spray: "Look, this person has a sick brain, right?"

“… Leave him alone, he's sick, catch whoever bites!"
