When Fu Luo took Jiang Xiaoyu, Su Rui'an and fellow Fan Bingbing and his party to meet Michael Bay at LA Airport, the other party told him the box office results of the first day of "Fast Pursuit", a total of 13.7 million US dollars, which is already a very good result, plus this day happened to be Friday, and finally it is preliminarily estimated that the box office will be about 40 million US dollars in three days over the weekend, which basically achieved the results expected by Paramount.

Now it depends on how the decline in the second week is, if it reaches more than 50%, then "Fast Pursuit" is really a bit dangerous, but the news from all aspects of the current feedback shows that the situation of the movie is very gratifying, at least 70% of the audience gave an evaluation of A after watching the movie, and the remaining 30% have an evaluation of A-, and there is also an evaluation of B, which is at least an average of A-, which is definitely a good evaluation.

and the freshness on Rotten Tomatoes is also as high as 82%, which is enough to prove the audience's favorability of "Fast Pursuit", and then there is also a rating of 7.9 points on IMDb, which is definitely a high score for a purely commercial movie, of course, this number will definitely gradually decline in the later stage, but it should not fall below 7 points.

All kinds of data show that the prospects of "Fast and Furious" are very good, and if the box office results in the first week can exceed expectations, then Paramount will definitely further increase the number of movie theaters in the second week, and it is likely to reach a large-scale release of 3,000 theaters, of course, the premise of these assumptions must be used to speak with the final data.

To say that there can be such a gratifying situation, Michael Bay, the director, should play half of the role, and forty percent of the role is the quality of the film itself, and the actor plays a role at most one percent, although it sounds a little embarrassing, but this is definitely a very pertinent ratio.

After all, if you really want to talk about it, whether it is Fu Luo or other supporting actors, there is really not much appeal, Hugo Weaving, Josh Duhamel, Gal Gadot These actors are either supporting roles or pure newcomers, not to mention Fan Bingbing, a Chinese actress may not even be comparable to Gal Gadot, a newcomer.

Fu Luo barely has a "500 Days with Shamo" as a façade, and a Golden Globe Award nomination, if it is replaced by a white man, it is estimated that he would have been praised as a Hollywood student long ago, but unfortunately he is a Chinese, which directly discounted the effect by half.

Now it depends on how the performance of "Fast and Furious" will be, either become famous in a fight, or stand still, but judging from the current situation, the probability of the former should be higher than the probability of the latter, just wait for time to test.

…………

Fu Luo returned to the capital on the morning of the 22nd, and Michael Bay flew to the magic capital, although the two met at LA Airport, but they did not take the same flight.

I heard that the filming team of "Transformers 2" arrived in the magic capital on the 20th, and the reason why Michael Bay was a day late was to participate in the premiere of "Fast Pursuit".

It is said that if Paul Anderson hadn't picked on the picks halfway, Michael Bay would not have rolled up his sleeves and gone on his own, so that "Fast Pursuit" has not yet been released, and "Transformers 2" is about to start filming again, and the time suddenly became tight.

Unlike many directors in China, Hollywood directors generally only focus on one job, and rarely step on a foot here and there, if "Fast Pursuit" is completed two months later, "Transformers 2" will definitely be delayed to start.

Of course, Michael Bay's affairs are out of his mind, and he began to get busy as soon as he returned to the capital, during this time, the preparations for the Chinese premiere of "Fast Pursuit" have been done by Guan Qingqing, and he can only conduct remote command through his mobile phone for more than ten days in the United States.

In other words, this premiere, Fu Luo also specially selected 300 hundred lucky fans from all over the country to participate in the capital, and included all the tickets and food and accommodation to and fro, which may cost more than one million people in the end, which can be regarded as a reward for his fans and fans.

And this quota can not be traded privately, you must have the corresponding number and personal ID card to enter the market, the reason why he made this, he just doesn't want his good intentions to be used by some people with ulterior motives to make money, if that happens, what is the point of him doing such a thing?

After all, when the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds, only what you can't think of, and there is absolutely nothing that can't be done, so there should be precautions.

In addition, he also invited a large number of celebrities he knew to come to the show, as long as the 24th was free, he basically agreed to his invitation in the end, and said that he would definitely be there, so he had to arrange it properly in this regard, and the first problem was naturally the security problem, and in the end he spent a lot of money to a very powerful security company, which was relieved.

It is estimated that the cost of the Chinese premiere of "Fast and Furious" will exceed 5 million yuan, but fortunately, Paramount will share the cost together, because the global distribution of the film has always been operated by Paramount, and at most there is Dune Entertainment in the Chinese base camp to participate in the distribution.

And the cost of those 300 fans is not included in the 5 million, of course, this money has to be borne by Fu Luo personally, after all, these people are called by him, and they are also his fans, so he must be responsible for himself.

Also, unlike "500 Days with Shamo", which is a full-scale movie by Dune Entertainment, "Fast Pursuit" is invested by the two companies together, so it can no longer operate as freely as the former, and can take the distribution work of China and South Korea into its own arms, so Paramount also wants to get a piece of the pie in these two places this time, who would have too much money?

On the 23rd of the next day, Fu Luo attended a promotional event held by "On the Red Cliff" in the capital, after all, this movie will be released nationwide on July 10, as the leading actor, he has been absent from many promotional activities, so Wu Yusen has long been dissatisfied with his boss, so as soon as he squeezed out time, he came to participate in the promotional activities, and the location happened to be in the capital, which saved him from flying everywhere.

After the end of the promotional activities of "On the Red Cliff", Fu Luodu had not returned to his home, and suddenly received a call from Guan Qingqing, who quickly told him the box office results of the first weekend of "Fast Pursuit" in North America, following the first day of 13.7 million US dollars, the second and third days continued to get 16.1 million and 17.9 million US dollars, and finally the total box office of the first weekend accumulated to 47.7 million US dollars, directly more than expected nearly 8 million more box office.

This is definitely a very surprising result, you must know that the box office of "The King of Kung Fu", which has just been released for a short time, is only more than 20 million in the first weekend of North America, and now the box office of "Fast Pursuit" has directly exceeded the former, and even almost reached the total box office of "The King of Kung Fu", which is very amazing.

Then, the $47.7 million result undoubtedly dropped the weekly box office top in the North American charts, and the second place went to "The Confused Detective" starring the big-mouthed beauty Anne Hathaway, which was released on the same day as "Fast and Furious", which received a total of $39.1 million.

And the third place is "The Incredible Hulk" in the second week of release, which got $22.13 million again, starring Edward Norton is also a tragedy, after rejecting Li Yu's "Hulk", he had to make a "The Incredible Hulk" by himself, but the box office performance in the first weekend was not as high as Li Yu's "Hulk", and he was slapped in the face.

Then the fourth place on the list is "Kung Fu Panda", which won $21.93 million again in the third week of release, saying that this animated film has accumulated $150 million at the box office, and will be officially released in China on June 28.

In the end, the fifth place is the $13.4 million "Secret Service Salon", a comedy starring Adam Sandler, and the fourth-place "Kung Fu Panda" was released on the same day, and the total box office has accumulated to $78.7 million, which should have the potential to break 100 million at the box office.

In this way, this week is in the past, but the next week there are two major rivals released at the same time, and they are both Fu Luo's favorite movies, one is "Wanted" starring James McAvoy and Angelina Jolie in the future "young version of Professor X", and the other is his big favorite, the classic animated film "Robot Wall-E".

Relatively speaking, among these two movies, the former is definitely more threatening than the latter to "Fast Pursuit", after all, "Robot Wall-E" is an animated movie, and "Fast Pursuit" is not at all offended, but "Wanted" is different, and the themes just happened to collide together.

And this action movie is also relatively against the rules of physics, the bullet can also turn, and the attraction to the audience is quite great in addition to exaggeration, and there is Angelina Jolie, the goddess of the American people, starring a group of old drama bones, in terms of actor appeal, it is much worse than "Fast Pursuit", an absolute rival.

However, when they all meet together, it seems that there is only a direct battle, and it is really difficult to judge who can do who Fu Luo, so you can only wait for the final result.

Hey!

After Fu Luo returned to the villa, he inadvertently glanced at Guan Xiaotong, who was playing on the computer on the sofa, and immediately discovered a little secret.
