Produced by Mengren, directed by Zhang Xiaoquan, starring Chen Qiaoen, and joined by 12 male stars, "Love Call Transfer 2" is scheduled to be released on December 12, during the Christmas schedule.

However, before that, the Hollywood film "Twilight", which Meng Ren participated in investing, had been released in North America, and it was also a Christmas schedule.

Friday.

Los Angeles.

A Chinese community.

Samuel, a black American who is committed to politics, personally invited several Chinese American representatives from the region to the largest theater in the region.

"Mr. Samuel, thank you so much for your contributions to our community during this time. I want you to invite us to watch a movie today, and we really don't want to go. An old man with white hair and beard said politely in fluent English.

"No, no, no, I like the humility and diligence of you Orientals, and I like to deal with you. I'm outraged by the injustices you've suffered in Los Angeles, and every time I see you, I think of the discrimination we black people endure. So we should unite and defend our rights together. Gentlemen, do you think what I said makes sense?"

"I agree with you, and thank you for helping us drive out the blacks who are ripping and robbing us, and for keeping our community safe. The speaker was a Chinese man in his forties wearing gold-rimmed glasses.

It was a bit harsh and a little slap in the face, but Samuel didn't care at all, smiling and showing his white teeth: "Gentlemen, I must apologize to you. You should know that we black people have been treated unfairly for so many years.

Discrimination and poverty make it difficult for us black children to have access to a good education, so some people will do things that hurt you. I regret that, and I would like to express my sincere apologies to you on their behalf. ”

A middle-aged Chinese man said, "Mr. Samuel, don't say that, we all understand. It is not your fault that any country, any race, has good people like you, and there are also black sheep. ”

"What you said is very good, I met a friend from your Huaxia, he is a good person, and he taught me the importance of unity. In this white supremacist country, we minorities must unite if we are to achieve the most basic fairness. ”

"Mr. Samuel, you are so right. The white-haired old man shook Samuel's hand, "I hope we can be friends and help each other to maintain law and order and stability in our region." ”

"We're already friends, aren't we? But there's one thing you're wrong, it's not me who said it, it's a friend I know. He was my best friend and the mentor who guided my path in life. I think you may know him, he is the boss of your Huaxia Film Company, Mai, and the movie I invite you to watch tonight is the one they participated in investing. ”

"You mean the boss of Moe Man Film and Television?"

"That's right, it's cute...... Person. I'm sorry, but the language of your country is so profound that I forgive me for not being able to grasp it accurately. ”

"You've said it pretty standardly, I didn't expect you to be friends with the boss of the cute people. ”

"Oh, you know him?"

The man with gold-rimmed glasses smiled: "We have heard of him, he is a very capable person. His company not only participated in the investment of "Twilight", but also participated in the investment of two Disney films, and the heroine is also Chinese. ”

When it comes to cute people, several Chinese-Americans present have more or less proud looks on their faces.

Sensing this, Samuel rejoiced: "Oh, I know, Sissi, I've seen her, she's a very beautiful girl. She is Mai's sister, and Mai loves his sister very much. In this way, I am really close to you Chinese. ”

Samuel is courting the Chinese community because he wants to run for Los Angeles City Council.

In the United States, there are other requirements for running for city council in addition to votes, and most of them can be met by him.

For example, he had experience in managing small gangs, and he had also "managed" a street in a black neighborhood where he lived, and he had a certain economic base, with the covert support of a certain European power.

What he lacks now is the experience of volunteering in a community, association or community organization, the tolerance of different cultures and ethnicities, and the sense of responsibility to serve the community.

That's why he chose Mexican-American and Chinese-American people living in Los Angeles to volunteer in these communities, help them maintain law and order, and so on. Not only can you count them in one fell swoop, but you can also get votes for future city council candidates.

Mai Xiaoyu became his best signboard to win the Chinese community. Although most Chinese Americans have never heard of Mai Xiaoyu, since "This Man is from Earth", Mengren Film and Television has gained a lot of fame among Chinese Americans.

Of course, the Chinese community is not stupid and knows Samuel's plans. They don't care about supporting Samuel's candidacy for city council, they just want to use Samuel's energy to keep the community safe.

The two major harms of the Chinese community are that the Chinese themselves will blackmail their own people, and the second is that the black people like to bully the Chinese the most.

And Samuel has the power to solve both of these evils.

"Let me tell you one more thing, as far as I know, the author of "Twilight" is also from your Chinese people, and he is still a friend of Mai, which Mai told me personally. ”

After fully showing his intentions and those of the Chinese people, Samuel beckoned everyone to enter, and the movie was about to begin.

Most of the Chinese abroad are still very grouped, although they have become American citizens, they are still full of a sense of belonging to China. Not to mention the emotional factor, just say that the status of foreign Chinese has a lot to do with the strength of China, and most people hope that China will be strong.

Cinema is also one of those aspects.

Although "Twilight" is an American movie, the original author is a Chinese, the producer Hualong Film and Television is a film and television company founded by a Chinese person in the United States, and the cute film and television that participated in the investment is an authentic Chinese company. If they can buy a good box office, they will be proud in their hearts.

And "Twilight" did not disappoint them.

Because the original book sells well in Europe and the United States, has a readership base, and Hualong Film and Television's efforts in distribution, it was finally released in 3,419 theaters at the same time, and the box office on the first weekend was also exciting.

It was released on Friday, with a box office of $35.87 million on the same day, 21.01 million on Saturday, and 13.67 million on Sunday.

The opening weekend box office was 70.55 million US dollars, and the box office of a single theater exceeded 20,000 US dollars, winning the first weekend box office chart in one fell swoop. It is higher than the box office of 70.4 million in the first weekend of "007 Quantum of Solace", which was released last Friday!

As soon as the box office statistics of the first weekend came out, public opinion in the United States was in an uproar.

Before the release of "Twilight", although the American media was also more optimistic about the movie, they did not expect the box office to be so high in the first weekend.

In the eyes of the media, this is a story of "a 'good vampire' who has no quarrel with the world, does not like to drink human blood, and only loves to suck animal blood, and falls in love with a beautiful girl", which can be regarded as a vampire theme of the youth campus version.

The two leading actors are both new-generation idol actors, and there is not enough coffee in the film industry, and the investment is only 40 million, of which 5 million is also used to buy the copyright of "Twilight: Twilight".

In the United States, it can only be regarded as a small-scale film.

However, the box office of the first weekend was slightly higher than that of "007 Quantum of Solace", which was released last week, which surprised the American media.

However, behind the high box office figures of the first weekend, after careful analysis, the box office of this film is not infinite.

The box office on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday showed a sharp recession curve of 35.87 million, 21.01 million, and 13.67 million US dollars, with a decline of -41.4% on Saturday, while the decline of "007: Quantum of Solace" on Saturday was only -4.4%.

Of course, judging from the box office performance of the first three days of the first weekend, there is no suspense that the North American box office will exceed 100 million, but what can the final box office reach...... Judging from the three-day box office recession curve, I'm afraid it's not so optimistic.

In addition, what is completely different from the box office format of the first weekend is the polarization in terms of evaluation, serious polarization!

"It's the best movie adaptation of a novel I've ever seen, it's pretty original!"

"The emotion of reading books back then comes back to my eyes, it's amazing!"

……

"It's not scary, it's not sensational, it's not eye-catching, it's worthless to me. ”

"The biggest value of this movie for me is that I understand that vampires can be the male protagonists in idol dramas. ”

……

IMDB's 2,739 viewers scored 5.2 points, with the majority of viewers between 10 and 1 points, while 15 media outlets on a professional website gave a C+ score and 14,105 viewers rated a B+.

There are mixed reviews, and the opposing trend is extremely serious!

How the media evaluates and how the audience views it is not important to Hualong Pictures at all.

The original intention of the establishment of Hualong Pictures is not to contribute excellent films with good reputation to the American film industry, but to shoot excellent movies with high box office, make money from the United States, and make money from the world!

After the release in North America, other countries and regions, including Huaxia, will also be released one after another. Among them, "Twilight" will land in China on Valentine's Day.

According to the North American box office, the ratio of about 1:1 to the overseas box office, the global box office of "Twilight" is expected to exceed 300 million US dollars.

How much is the investment in this movie?

The production cost is 40 million, the publicity cost in North America is 20 million, and the total investment is 60 million US dollars!

The box office sharing system in the United States is different from that of China, because before the release of "Twilight", there was a lack of Hollywood big-name stars to join, so it could not enjoy the box office sharing ratio of 91, and could only be divided according to 82.

Among them, the cinema side accounts for "two".

The box office in the first three days of the weekend was 70.55 million, and the producer and distributor were able to share more than 56 million box office shares, plus the sponsorship of many advertisers, all investment costs have been recovered.

In other words, all the box office in the future will be purely earned. In consideration of the audio-visual market, the profit has doubled!

This is also the reason why a lot of hot money, knowing that there are risks in making movies, has poured into the film industry without hesitation.

As long as you win a bet, you will make a big profit!

On Monday, Hualong Pictures immediately announced in a high-profile manner that they had bought the film and television adaptation rights of several other parts of "Twilight" at a high price, and would continue to shoot the sequel to "Twilight", making it another representative of international magic series after "The Lord of the Rings Trilogy", "Harry Potter series", and "The Chronicles of Narnia".

Hualong Pictures is too high-profile, which has aroused doubts from some American media.

The Chicago Tribune published an article:

"The representative of the international magic series?" This is reasonable to say a few years ago when "Pirates of the Caribbean" or "The Lord of the Rings" were rampant, but in recent years, when "Dragon Knight" and "The Golden Compass" and other magical movies have smashed the pot, can "Twilight" really do it? Let's wait and see. ”

Shi Hao scoffed at this kind of report from the American media, and after the box office came out on the first weekend, he dialed Mai Xiaoyu's phone.

"Mr. Mai, "Twilight" is a big hit, and those companies are very satisfied. ”

"I see, I got a couple of calls yesterday. ”

"But there is one thing I think I need to tell you, this movie will be released in North America for at least four months, can you handle it?"

Shi Hao also heard about the financial pressure of cute people. Even if it is released in North America for four months, plus the box office statistics, sharing, and exchange rate exchange time, the box office share of the cute people will arrive, and I am afraid that it will be a year later.

"You don't have to worry, the financial constraints on my side are an illusion that I deliberately created. ”

Ending the call with Shi Hao, Mai Xiaoyu continued to look at the computer in front of him, his brows furrowed slightly.

The North American release of "Twilight" was very successful, and "Love 2" is also about to be released in China.

Chen Qiaoen, Deng Chao, Wang Baoqiang, Chen Chichi, Zheng Kai, Jin Wei, and Meng Yuxing in "Love 2" are all in battle, and the various betrayals of Yang Ying, Chen Chichi, Zheng Kai, Jin Wei, and Meng Yuxing after the reunion of the five-member group in "Love Apartment" are all excellent highlights.

The ratings of this issue of "Running Man" have reached a new high, and the release situation of "Love 2" is also very good.

However, disgusting things have popped up again.

It is a follow-up to the previous Yang Mi and Zhao Liying incident, but this time it is mainly aimed at Yang Mi - some media broke the news that the reason why there are fans who misidentify it is because Yang Mi has plastic surgery, which is a bit like Zhao Liying, which leads to face bumps.

Yang Mi flatly denied it, but someone on the Internet picked up all the stills since Yang Mi's debut, and specially showed the changes in his face before and after plastic surgery.

Then a large number of remarks appeared on the Internet, accusing Yang Mi of lying, and he didn't dare to admit it even though he had plastic surgery, which caused a lot of cursing.

Whether Yang Mi has plastic surgery or not, Mai Xiaoyu really doesn't know. Since the last time Yang Mi came to pester himself for a role, he hadn't seen Yang Mi for more than half a year.

However, whether Yang Mi has plastic surgery or not is not the point, the point is that Mai Xiaoyu is sure that the whole turmoil is to Yang Mi.

He has already inquired that Yang Mi will appear in the drama of the female first next year, and the investor is the boss of Sanjin Coal. So I called Zhu Zeyuan, asked him to help say hello, and asked the crew to beat the second female.

If there is nothing to do, there is nothing to do, and if you have nothing to do, let the female second roll roll roll away.

Then he dialed Yang Mi and Zhao Liying's phones one after another, and there was only one content:

"Little fox, take a picture of your feet and send it to my mailbox. ”

"Little potato, take a picture of your feet and send it to my mailbox. ”
