Chapter 366: Running Man is about to start

Chen Tian came to Hong Kong and cooperated with Wang Jing caused a great sensation in Hong Kong.

Once upon a time, Wang Jing was also a best-selling director and super screenwriter, but in recent years, with the sunset of Hong Kong films, Wang Jing has gradually changed her style, not only focusing on the mainland, but also although Hong Kong films remain highly productive, the quality is only the box office first.

But now the box office of Hong Kong movies has long been unable to speak of the same day, and Wang Jing can go to Hollywood, and he can cooperate with a popular fried chicken director like Chen Tian, and Wang Jing is also the best at genre films and gambling films in Hong Kong, which makes Hong Kong entertainment media begin to advocate that with the help of Chen Tian, a miracle director, Hong Kong films may regain their miracles.

Chen Tianke didn't have much time to pay attention to the Hong Kong media reports, and at the moment he had already started filming the Hong Kong leg of the running man at the longest escalator he and Natalie Portman had visited yesterday.

Although this is the third stop of the running man, after the cooperation of Venice and London, everyone is already quite familiar with each other, and many temporary performances have been able to cooperate skillfully.

However, compared with the popularity of running men in later generations, the current recording of running men has not attracted too much attention.

"What are they doing? Is it making a movie?"

"It looks good, it's like a comedy, they look at the newspaper and they look like they're running a variety show, Natalie Portman and Jessica Alba are really beautiful, it's better than in the movies, and it's open. ”

"It's very beautiful, but that Chen Tian looks really good, but how can he be a box office director at such a young age, those movies are really good. I don't think it's possible to shoot it at such a young age. ”

……

The crowd of onlookers looked at the crowd and said. The six people who were filming in the venue were not affected at all.

"Hello. Do you think Natalie is pretty or Jessica is pretty?" Will Smith, who was running up the escalator, looked at Tom Cruise, who was behind him, and slowed down.

Liu Cha, who was raided by Will Smith, didn't expect such a superstar to suddenly ask him.

Liu Cha said nervously: "Uh, uh, I don't know, it's all beautiful, goddess." ”

"Will, are you forcing people to do things they don't like to do. You bastard!" shouted Tom Cruise, who had caught up, at Will Smith.

"Would a superhero like me do such a thing? I just asked him a simple question, and unfortunately his answer was so disappointing to me. After Will Smith finished speaking, he immediately picked up speed and ran.

Although Tom Cruise was a chaser, he didn't forget to ask Liu Cha from afar, and asked directly in fluent English: "What did this guy Will ask you?"

Just now Will Smith was talking to him, and now Tom Cruise is talking to him, and he feels that he is so happy.

"Will, Will asks me who is prettier, Natalie Portman or Jessica Alba?"

"Then it's better to ask, who is more handsome, me or Will, and who do you like more?" Tom Cruise didn't wait for Liu Cha to answer. He sped up and ran over, "It must be me handsome." I can read minds. ”

As he spoke, he pointed to his chest.

Chen Tian, who was waiting at the bottom, came to the monitor.

"This is good, the two of them are quite good. After reading it, Chen Tian returned to the escalator.

Wentworth Miller looked at Chen Tian: "Justin, do you want me to release the water, are you sure you want to compete with me." ”

"Mi Shuai, is it because you are Mi Shuai, I will admit defeat? And speed can't decide everything, I'm more flexible. ”

As Chen Tian said, this section does not seem to be particularly long, and it takes 200 meters to run up and come back and run another 200 meters.

Running up the rope on a fingerboard on the 200-metre platform was a full 10 jumps, and Will Smith's painful and exaggerated expression and shouts thrilled the onlookers, who had seen a big star do it for the first time.

When Will Smith came down from the rope, he was much slower to jump on the fingerboard with his feet, but that didn't stop him from being funny.

"Hey, Mi Shuai, Mi Shuai, ready for the handover. Will Smith made a defiant gesture as he ran, spreading his hands out at Tom Cruise, who was rubbing shoulders with him.

However, the transition between Will Smith and Wentworth Miller did not go very well.

Because this handover requires a bite of a straw and a straw to pass the running man's keychain.

"Haha, Will, you're so stupid, you can't even be so simple, is this what Superman Hancock is capable of. Chen Tian sneered unscrupulously.

And Natalie Portman of the team with Chen Tianyi also followed behind to make trouble: "Will, Miller, you two should look at each other and be more affectionate." ”

"Yes, Will, you should have your head up first. Miller you should crouch down somewhat, right like lovers look at each other. Natalie Portman's words made Jessica Alba laugh.

"Nata, are you undercover? or do you want to do it yourself with someone?"

"Then I must be undercover. Natalie Portman replied with a depressed look on her face, and Will Smith's key was hanging from the ground again.

"Fourth, Will, have all of your superpowers gone?" Chen Tian struck again, and Tom Cruise was already coming.

Chen Tian immediately picked up a straw: "Tom, slow down, take a break." Will is so stupid, you don't have to rush. ”

"Justin, I don't need to say it, I know how stupid Will is. Tom Cruise stood panting and put the straw and key away.

Chen Tian is nearly ten centimeters taller than Tom Cruise, Tom Cruise passes him the key, and Chen Tian can only squat down by himself.

Half-bent crouching, leaning forward, mouth biting the straw, mouth towards Tom Cruise's straw.

β€œyeah!”

Natalie Portman immediately applauded when she saw Chen Tian and Tom Cruise's success, while Will Smith couldn't help shaking his head when he was excited. The key falls again.

Chen Tian pointed to Will Smith and Wentworth Miller. Then he looked at his body camera: "Look." Two fools, we're leaving!"

With that, Chen Tian immediately ran quickly towards the escalator.

Jessica Alba behind him looked at Will Smith and Wentworth Miller very depressedly: "Mi Shuai, you are a little lower, like Justin did just now, you can hold Will if you can't stand steady." ”

Wentworth Miller went even further, hugging Will Smith with both hands, and Will Smith was slightly embarrassed and finally completed this seemingly simple little task.

"Mi Shuai. I'll forgive you for hugging me!" Will Smith said depressedly.

……

"It turns out that variety shows can be like this, and they really look very good.

I don't know if we can see it here, it's said that it will be online next month.

I heard that Chen Tian has very high requirements for ratings this time, I think it's no problem. ”

"It's really pretty. ”

"I heard that it's completely Chen Tian's creativity, he can direct movies, write scripts, make TV series, and make variety shows, this person is too versatile. ”

Originally, many people who stopped out of curiosity followed the running male film crew from the escalator to the Central Bank Building, but unfortunately they couldn't see it when they entered the building to shoot.

This time, the shooting of Running Man in Hong Kong went very smoothly, and Chen Tian did not need to think 100% about how to edit and do the post-production for the time being, and there was a professional team, especially after the editing and guidance of the first two episodes of nearly four episodes. The editing and post-production teams have matured a lot and know how to make jokes and keep important shots.

Four days passed quickly. The Halloween holiday, which is important for Americans, has finally arrived.

Wen Ziren's "The Grudge" was launched in 3,245 theaters across the United States, with "Chainsaw" as the foundation, plus this advance promotion and the Japanese version of the super good reputation "The Grudge" is almost a movie that theaters are looking forward to.

No theater wants Halloween to end dismal, even if there is a new film from Oscar-winning actress Nicole Kidman in the same schedule.

Although Chen Tian did not travel to the United States to support the premiere of "The Grudge", Chen Tian in Hong Kong still recorded a VCR to express his expectations for the box office of the film, and hoped that more fans would go to the theater to support this high-quality film.

Originally, many fans were neutral, after all, Wen Ziren could not be liked by everyone.

I have to say that Chen Tian now has a very good status in the hearts of American fans, although it is not a film directed by Chen Tian himself, but Chen Tian's production and production still makes this film labeled as Chen Tian by many people.

When this 96-minute "The Grudge" was released, it was a lot better than the one in later generations who only won the audience's reputation but did not get more media praise.

Especially the perfect combination of Japanese horror and American horror has become a praise point in the mouth of professional film critics.

"USA Today" professional film critic Kevin Lant said on his Twitter: "Saw made people see the rise of James Wynn in horror films, but everyone knows that he has a strong Justin label on him, and this time "The Grudge" gives us a glimpse of the real rise of James Win. ”

"Without Justin Chen, James Wing can still be very good, and "The Grudge" is destined to rule the Halloween schedule. β€”The Hollywood Reporter.

"The lost Nicole Kidman, the proud James Win, the perfect KO of "Reincarnation" in "The Grudge", and James Winn rose strongly. - "Variety".

"Miramax took a solid step, and 'The Grudge' struck hard. - Los Angeles Times.

……

"James, I said you can! Although the box office has not yet come out on the first day, it must be very good to look at the reviews. Whether it's on the Internet or the reputation of film critics, how many do you estimate?" Chen Tian looked at the monitor and said into the phone.

It was more than three o'clock in the afternoon in Hong Kong at the moment, and the crew of "League of Assassins" was filming.

I just finished filming a scene and was taking a break, and the time in Los Angeles, USA, was just over 12 o'clock in the evening.

Although he did not watch the premiere, and although Chen Tian was confident in the quality and reputation of the film, he still paid attention to the reputation of online fans and expert film critics in a timely manner.

After all, although this film is a remake, the combination of the advantages of Japanese horror films and American horror films is still excellent.

As long as the box office of this film is excellent, then Wen Ziren's confidence is undoubtedly a great encouragement.

"Hopefully, when I attended the premiere at the China Grand Theatre, many people were scared enough, and I didn't think it would be bad. Wen Ziren's tone sounded relaxed.

"I'm going to start filming again, so I won't talk to you, you go to bed early, and when the North American box office exceeds $100 million, I'll personally celebrate you. Chen Tian smiled and hung up the phone.

In fact, as Chen Tian and Wen Ziren predicted, although the box office of "The Grudge" on the first day would be as good as many experts predicted, no one expected it to be so good.

When it was 11 p.m. Hong Kong time, it was about to reach 10 a.m. in the United States, which was also the time when BOXOFFICE released yesterday's box office.

In Wen Ziren's office in the Miramax Building, Wen Ziren nervously refreshed the computer page, and the time came to ten o'clock.

Swish!

The page was quickly refreshed, and Wen Ziren looked at it with wide eyes.

"MyGod!" Wen Ziren couldn't help but scream, he couldn't believe the data in front of him.

3,245 theaters opened, earning a full $21.38 million at the first-day box office.

Such an opening data is more than 2 million higher than the opening score of less than 19 million in "Chainsaw", and the box office data of "Chainsaw" on the opening day has set a new record for the opening of a North American movie thriller and horror film.

Even though several of Chen Tian's films have done well at the box office, none of them have a debut score of more than this $21.38 million.

Such an opening figure is excellent enough even for a big production with an investment of 100 million dollars, but such a figure comes from a remake of a horror film, and the cost is only 10 million dollars.

Chen Tian, who was far away in Hong Kong, was also shocked, and he didn't expect it to be so good, although the original American version of "The Grudge" also got an excellent result of $14.55 million on the opening day.

The media was full of praise, and the crazy journey of "The Grudge" is not over yet.

On the basis of Friday's release, the single-day box office data of "The Grudge" reached 28.63 million under the continuous fermentation of word-of-mouth on Saturday, almost touching the threshold of $30 million in a single day.

And Sunday is Halloween, a carnival day at the box office in the United States, and the box office has been affected to a certain extent, but even so, it still got an excellent result of 16.78 million in a single day.

The three-day box office reached $66.79 million, such a first-week box office figure that made all film companies envious.

Wen Ziren even received private invitations from many companies, but they were all rejected by Wen Ziren.

Relying on the popularity of "The Grudge", Wen Ziren has completely become famous, and all he has to do is to direct another blockbuster horror film to completely launch his horror sign.

On the sixth day of the release of "The Grudge", the total box office of "The Grudge" came to 77.5 million, and there was no doubt that the "Grudge", which cost only $10 million, would break 100 million, but people wondered if this horror film would create a new box office record for North American thriller horror films.

And Chen Tian stayed in Hong Kong for ten days, and it was also time to leave, and he will usher in the premiere of Running Man on NBC.

"Running Man is about to start, Justin is back, the first variety show, will Justin's miracle continue!" -- "The Hollywood Reporter" wrote on the homepage of the official website when Chen Tian boarded a flight to Los Angeles. (To be continued......)
