"Justin Chen, this has become the brightest name in the North American film market in just half a year.

After being silent for half a year, it finally sent another transformation work in the expectations and doubts of countless fans.

Some people expect his film to continue the glory of the front, and some people expect his failure.

However, Justin used another success to comfort those who expected his success, and to despair those who expected him to fail.

Just like the seemingly arrogant bet at the beginning, Justin, who had the last laugh, still didn't forget himself.

As George Edgar wrote from the bottom of his heart, it's time for us to throw away all that shouldn't be in sight.

"The Queen Wears Prada", the plot that stands up to scrutiny and the near-perfect adaptation has won most praises, and the gorgeous costumes and superb acting skills have won most of them......

Justin sets a new benchmark in fashion and is on the path to continued success, "Heartbeat", I'm waiting!"

As a media with absolute appeal in North America, the Hollywood Reporter has immeasurable influence on its reporting, and this is not the first time they have praised Chen Tian, and it is not destined to be the last.

But this time it was the highest evaluation they gave, and "The Hollywood Reporter", which has a orientation to the media and fans, undoubtedly added a fire to "The Queen Wears Prada".

Monday, as the start of a new week, is normally a huge drop at the box office compared to Sunday.

However, "The Queen Wears Prada" stubbornly hit the excellent box office of 8.08 million on this day, and still got 7.75 million on Tuesday.

By Wednesday, the box office of "Crazy Dodgeball", which ranked second, was only 3.72 million. And this single-day box office performance is only half of "The Queen Wears Prada".

"We've really made a lot of money this time. Take a look at this box office. All America will be jealous of us!" Eric Lomis patted his hand, excited.

What he is holding in his hand is yesterday's box office, and yesterday Thursday "The Queen Wears Prada" still won an excellent result of 6.65 million.

Such a single-day box office result is almost the sum of the single-day box office of the next three films, "Crazy Dodgeball", "Harry Potter 3" and "Happiness Terminal".

Seven days after its release, the box office of "The Queen Wears Prada" has reached 78.37 million.

"Justin, I think we can definitely get 20 million in three days this week, and we can even raise the North American box office to $100 million by the end of this weekend.

There will be four films released tomorrow, the biggest of which is Sony Colombia's crime genre film "Miss Haobai", which cost 37 million to make Zuò.

The film stars brothers Sean Waynes and Marlon Waynes. They are the stars of the film "Scream" with some box office appeal and will be released in 2,414 theaters across North America.

However, I don't think this film has much potential to hit the box office, and it won't have a big impact on us. ”

Eric Lomis looked at the text in his hand and continued: "The second largest film released is the romance film "Love Notebook", which is a film with a good reputation, and the trailer has attracted a lot of attention.

Trailers are the fourth highest in movie trailer clicks on YouTube, but romance films don't always do too well at the box office.

Although the adaptation of director Nick Cassavetz's novel of the same name by Nicholas Sparks will be available in 2,233 theaters, I estimate that more than 15 million at the box office this week is already a victory.

Then there is the new introduction of the French animation "Tiger Brother Tiger Brother", which will be released in 2,100 theaters.

The North American market has always been very receptive to foreign cartoons, and there are indeed a lot of good films recently. So the box office won't be too optimistic. ”

"What about Fahrenheit 911?" asked Chen Tian.

This documentary Chen Tian has a deep memory, and it has set off stormy waves all over the world in later generations.

However, Chen Tian's "Buried Alive" last year played the role of the later "Fahrenheit 911". A wave of anti-war was set off all over the world.

Because of this, the high box office of "Buried Alive" has been questioned by many people, and many people say that without the joint hype of Lionsgate and Chen Tian, "Buried Alive" would not have been able to create such a crazy box office miracle as Zào.

No matter how Chen Tian and Lionsgate explain, they will not dispel people's opinions on "Buried Alive", but Chen Tian did not expect to be embarrassed to officially lead the "Fahrenheit 911" launched this year because of his debut work "Buried Alive".

Lionsgate wanted to take advantage of the presidential election to gamble on the influence of Fahrenheit 911, but they didn't get the results they wanted.

"Tom, we're going to give up, and now a lot of people are on the opposite side of us.

And we didn't get success, all we got was saliva, which is not what we wanted. Jon Fittimel said with a depressed face.

Standing in front of him was Tom Thornberg, who took the distribution rights to Fahrenheit 911 from Miramax in the limelight.

Lionsgate is hoping that this controversial documentary will deliver huge returns, just as "Buried Alive" did a year ago.

Tom Thornberg kept his head down, he was under a lot of pressure, the controversial nature of "Fahrenheit 911" represented the huge box office potential that could have been there, and the pressure was put on him, but now the publicity is not working well.

He knows how much this is because "Buried Alive" is in front, and fans and the media will not forget it even after a year.

Not to mention that Conquest already had a way to deal with the problem last year, and "Fahrenheit 911" did not escape the government's control every step from filming to publicity.

"Jon, no way, we didn't expect this, "Buried Alive" is far less controversial than it, but fans are not fools.

I think we can give up the propaganda appropriately, otherwise it may be even more counterproductive. Tom Thornberg was depressed.

Too many people in the online media compare "Fahrenheit 911" and "Buried Alive", even if the two are not fundamentally the same, but this does not prevent bystanders from comparing.

The "Fahrenheit 911" that appeared later undoubtedly stood in an embarrassing situation, and the publicity was neither without publicity. This is the impact of "Buried Alive" after its release.

Compared to the depressed expressions of the two Lionsgate. Eric Lomis has finished analyzing the four films that will be released tomorrow. concluded that "The Queen Wears Prada" is expected to hit the box office line of 150 million in North America.

Chen Tian agrees with Eric Lomis's analysis.

If "The Queen Wears Prada" raises the box office to $100 million under the attack of four new films released this week, then it is not impossible for "The Queen Wears Prada" to get another 50 million in the remaining two months.

and reached 120 million, the North American box office line of "The Queen Wears Prada" in the future is already a certainty.

Chen Tian also breathed a sigh of relief, although he faced the media although he did not emphasize how much box office he received.

But he still hopes that the box office of "The Queen Wears Prada" can meet the standards of future generations, and at this moment his heart is completely relaxed.

"But that's not the best news!" Eric Lomis smiled, then waved his hand, "Justin." Can you think of any better news? It's great news for you, and I dare say you'd love to hear it. ”

"I'd love to hear it?" Chen Tian frowned, the box office analysis just now was already what he wanted to hear.

"Yes, you are willing, you must be very willing. Eric Lomis hung Chen Tian's appetite.

Chen Tian looked at Eric Lomis and asked, "Is it related to the box office?"

Eric Lomis raised an eyebrow: "Uh-huh. ”

I have just said the North American box office, so it is still the box office at the moment, Chen Tian is not a fool and suddenly thought of the overseas box office.

And Eric Lomis said that he would definitely like to hear it, so it must be that the overseas box office list is not bad, otherwise Eric Lomis would not say so.

The later "Queen Wears Prada" grossed $200 million outside of North America. Although Chen Tian did not expect to reach as much as the future generations, he did not want to become a laughing stock.

Before the release of "The Queen Wears Prada". Chen Tian hopes that this film can win glory in the overseas market like the one in later generations.

"Erik, I know, it's an overseas box office, I'll ......see it myself," Chen Tian stood up and glanced at Eric Lomis, "Forget it, let's talk about it." ”

Looking at Chen Tian's expectant and nervous look, Eric Lomis smiled happily: "Yes, overseas box office."

We have released it in ten countries and regions, the earliest being New Zealand and Australia.

Do you know how much we won in the first week in these two places? Especially in Australia, which has already earned $6.05 million in one week since its release, and New Zealand has won nearly 8 million in this week.

Counting other places, our overseas box office reached 10.42 million in the first week, and there are also overseas box office centers such as France, the United Kingdom, Japan, Mexico, Germany, Italy, South Korea, and Russia.

Especially next week we will be landing in the EU and Mexico, and now the results of the survey show that we will have a good box office.

Justin, we're likely to have more than $100 million at the overseas box office. ”

Chen Tian only knew in his mind that the overseas box office of "The Queen Wears Prada" had reached 200 million, and he didn't know how much he took in which country or region.

But Chen Tian knows that the most important thing for North American films at the overseas box office is to rely on the countries just mentioned by Eric Lomis, Australia and New Zealand.

Now in the first batch of countries to be released, Chen Tian is very satisfied with the box office of 10 million.

Previously, Chen Tian thought that "The Queen Wears Prada", a film that had landed in China in later generations, would not have a chance to be released, but after the last meeting, Han Sanping gave "The Queen Wears Prada" a blockbuster quota for next year when the quota for this year was basically full.

Watching Eric Lomis leave the office, Chen Tian looked at the results that Eric Lomis had just said.

On Friday, the day the box office opened this weekend, "Fahrenheit 911", which was supposed to win the single-day box office with 800 small releases, failed to do as it did in later generations.

The opening day only got a box office of 7.22 million, and "The Queen Wears Prada" continued to win the championship with a single-day box office of 9.55 million after winning the single-day box office championship for six consecutive days.

"Miss Haobai" ranked third at the single-day box office with 6.85 million, and the fourth place was "Crazy Dodgeball", which was released with "The Queen Wears Prada", which came to 6.55 million.

Ranking fourth at the single-day box office is the romance film "Love Notebook", a small-budget romance film that won a box office score of 5.24 million. There is little doubt about recovering your costs and making a fortune at the same time.

On Rotten Tomatoes, "The Queen Wears Prada" and all other films show the opposite trend. Normal videos are fresh at first. Then it gradually decreases as more and more people rate it.

There is also another part of the film that slowly rises after the end of the release, and this kind of film is generally cult films, due to the crazy love of some fans and the freshness increases.

Nowadays, almost all films conform to this irregular rule, "Buried Alive", "Fruit Hard Candy" to "This Man from the Earth" is not a cult film in Chen Tian's heart, but it is a classic cult film in the hearts of many people.

The situation of these three films is in line with the above rules, but "The Queen Wears Prada" has taken a different path.

Since its premiere, the freshness of "The Queen Wears Prada" on Rotten Tomatoes has not only not decreased with the increase in the number of people, but has increased little by little with the increase in the number of people.

On the first day, 73% of the freshness rating of 886 people came to 240. 76% of the 324 ratings, although it seems to only add 3% freshness, is almost impossible to do.

It's not just Rotten Tomatoes, which has risen to 7.7 after a first-day rating of only 7.5 on IMDB.

"Variety", which is as famous as "The Hollywood Reporter" in the North American entertainment industry, even published a long column with the title of "Justin's Reverse Growth".

"Justin's Victory," is the headline of USA Today's entertainment movie section at 10:10 a.m. on Sunday.

Next to the title is prominently 99,143,476, and to the right of the number is 100,000. 000。

This news is precisely because yesterday "The Queen Wears Prada" continued to rank first in the daily box office list with a box office of 11.22 million, with the release of yesterday's box office. The total box office of "The Queen Wears Prada", which was released for nine days, came to 99.14 million.

And this box office is only a small and negligible gap of 860,000 yuan from the 100 million yuan mark in North America, and today is the weekend, and the North American box office has exceeded 100 million on the tenth day of release, without a trace of suspense.

"The box office is ferocious, and 'Queen Wears Prada' is as unstoppable as Justin. The only thing that can stop it is "Spider-Man 2", which will be released in three days......"

As stated on the USA Today website, the only one that can stop "The Queen Wears Prada" from continuing to dominate the single-day box office is "Spider-Man 2", which will be released next Wednesday.

However, Chen Tian did not have time to continue waiting for the North American box office journey of "The Queen Wears Prada" in the United States, and on the weekend of June 27, ten days after the release of "The Queen Wears Prada", Chen Tian and Tim Sushet and other groups got off the bus in the airport parking lot.

"Look, isn't that Justin Chen? Looks like they're going somewhere?" The paparazzi, who had been stationed at the airport for a long time, spotted Chen Tian and them immediately.

"Yes, it's Justin Chen, they seem to have a lot of stuff.

There was news that his new film will be starring Huaxia people, and the filming location is in Huaxia, and now it seems that those news should be true. TMZ's paparazzi Brad looked at Chen Tian and his party not far away and said.

Paparazzi Lopez of the King of Hollywood Street said: "I know, but Jackie Chan and JETLI have denied that Justin was in contact with them, and I have a crazy idea.

You remember the report that Justin used kung fu to fight off Scarlett's suitor Jared Leto. ”

After saying this, everyone felt that it was very likely.

"Yes, I remember that, right in Chinatown, Jared Leto's coward said he was going to walk all over Justin, and Justin killed him easily. James, the entertainment paparazzi of the Orange County Chronicle, immediately chimed in.

"Then what are we doing here?" Lopez immediately reminded, and several people immediately chased after Chen Tian.

"Tim, we're very demanding on camera this time, so you're going to have to work hard. Chen Tian said as he walked.

"Justin, I know, I'm mentally prepared for this. ”

Tim Sushet hadn't been in charge of action movie cameras much before, but he knew that action movies weren't as demanding as any other film.

If you need to render the fight action better, you need to do a lot of processing. Sometimes the frame rate is sped up, while others are slowed down.

This time, Chen Tian also asked Han Sanping to prepare eight ultra-high-speed top cameras. These top-of-the-line cameras will be used for the filming of fight footage.

According to Chen Tian's initial assumption. There are at least eight cameras working at the same time, and more than twelve.

The purpose of these cameras is to present the fighting action as much as possible, to capture the best shots possible, so that the audience can feel the charm of fists and fists.

"Justin, wait, where are you going?"

"Justin has news that you're going to leave for China to shoot your new action movie?"

"There was news about this new film before that it was JackieChan and JETLI, but recently they have denied that they have been in contact with you, can you tell me who the male lead is. ”

"Justin. You already have experience in filming in "The Queen Wears Prada", and you yourself have practiced Jeet Kune Do since childhood, this time is not yourself the leading actor in this action movie. ”

"Could it be that you and Jessica Alba partnered in that 100 million yuan action movie, otherwise why hasn't it been revealed who the actor is until now?"

"Justin, let's just talk about it? The public should have the right to know, not to mention that there are many people in the United States who want to know about you, and I am your loyal fan. Lopez swore by it.

Chen Tian didn't expect to be stopped directly here, although there were ten of them in their group, which was enough to deal with the six reporters in front of them.

But Chen Tian did not intend to offend them directly, after all, he needed the help of these journalists.

As long as these journalists are not talking nonsense. Chen Tianhe is willing to live in peace with them.

What is needed in the entertainment industry is exposure, although Chen Tian, as a director, does not need so much exposure at all. However, it turns out that Chen Tian's exposure has brought a positive impact on the film.

"Yes, we're going to China for my new film. Chen Tian replied with a smile, and everyone immediately quieted down.

"But I'm not the main character of the film, and I won't be in the next film, even if I play a negligible role.

If the film is fast, I think it will be released in a month, and we have already scheduled the release of the film.

By the way, you'll see the video news one after another, so please keep an eye on YouTube and my Facebook account.

I want to say something, but. Chen Tian pointed to the watch on his wrist.

The reporters were not uninteresting, and Chen Tian's cooperation made them very happy.

"Justin, I wish you a smooth journey, I look forward to your film, and I will walk into the theater as soon as possible to support you. Lopez said with a smile.

"Thank you all and see you soon. Chen Tian smiled and turned around and walked towards the passage.

It's four o'clock in the afternoon in Los Angeles, and it's eight o'clock in the morning in Beijing, the capital of China, which has a sixteen-hour time difference with Los Angeles.

Chen Tian and his entourage will fly by Air Canada from Los Angeles Airport, then from Vancouver Airport to Beijing, with a flight time of up to 17 hours.

Chen Tian, who was sitting in the waiting room, had an indescribable love in his heart.

He has the blood of the descendants of Yan and Huang in his veins, but he has never been to China since he was a child and grew up in the United States.

Whether it is in later generations or now, he has never been to Huaxia.

This time he went to China to shoot "Raid", which was the first time he went to China in his life in nearly 50 years together, and he learned more about Huaxia Chen Tian from newspapers and movies.

He knows that China's development will be faster and faster, and its voice and status in the world will become higher and higher.

With the improvement of the status of China, the status of Chinese Americans in the United States has also improved to a certain extent.

In contrast, Chen Tian knows much more about the Chinese film market than other aspects.

The Chinese film market in 2004 was still in the early stage of development, and from this year onwards, the Chinese film market began to move forward step by step.

From the total box office capacity of 200 million US dollars at the beginning to 7 billion US dollars in 2017, such a huge span of the Chinese film market took less than ten years.

As a person who has experienced the afterlife, Chen Tian doesn't know what the Huaxia film market will be after 2017, but he knows that the Huaxia film market has not yet entered a saturated and mature state in 2017.

Just as he promised Han Sanping before and promised to co-produce "Raid", although there is a wish from Huaxia, Chen Tian also has this willingness in his heart.

Even if Han Sanping doesn't take the initiative to come, Chen Tian plans to do his best to link up with the Huaxia market, so as to establish his popularity in the Huaxia market as soon as possible, so as to occupy a favorable position in the world's second largest ticket warehouse in the future.

Tim Sushet did not disturb Chen Tian's thoughts, but carefully inspected the equipment consigned by the consignment.

Although there is no shortage of filming equipment in China, there are some things that Tim Sushet is used to using his own.

There is no way to bring these things on the plane, so you have to check them in.

The news of the imminent boarding came over the radio, and Chen Tian stood up and threw out the other things in his mind.

When the plane taxied off the runway, Chen Tian was also full of expectations for his first trip to China.

Just when Chen Tian's plane flew to Vancouver first, Huaxia on the west coast of the Pacific Ocean launched a huge casting activity for "Raid".

The idea was proposed by Chen Tian, and although he believed in the abilities of Donnie Yen and Yuan Heping, he was almost unfamiliar to the Chinese audience.

Even if he entered the world of Chinese fans a few months ago because of multiple Oscar nominations, it was just an impression.

It is far less impressive than the big directors in China who give fans an impression, and nowadays Hollywood blockbusters often give fans a good impression, and domestic films give fans more shoddy production, especially after comparing with Hollywood films.

When Han Sanping announced that Hollywood's rising star director Chen Tian would go to China to shoot the action "Raid", many people thought that Chen Tian was here to shoot bad movies to make money.

And this "Raid" casting event is Chen Tian's first way to break into Chinese fans, and Tongguò's event makes people have an expectation of him for the "Raid" film.

is different from the previous casting activities of the film crew, Chen Tian's casting this time is not for newcomers but actors who have experience in action movies.

In the introduction of the casting event, it was not explained that Chen Tian would choose several actors, but it was noted that he would be brought to Hollywood for development, even if he did not promise how to develop whether it was a trick or a strong support, but it was enough to make countless action actors excited.

At this moment, the three sets of the imperial court station are broadcasting the casting event live, and countless viewers are watching the actors who can only be seen on TV perform. (To be continued......)
