Chapter 404: "Ok? Ready,Action!”
On December 22~29, North American time, with the recovery of the entire industry during Christmas, "The Lord of the Rings 2: The Two Towers", which has been released for two weeks, has become the first choice of fans, and several other movies have also begun to heat up.
According to the film's distributor, New Line, the sequel to "The Hobbit" grossed $48.9 million on the weekend of December 27-29, making it the top weekend box office for the second consecutive year.
In the 12 days since its release, "The Two Towers" has grossed more than $200 million in North America, a figure that surpasses its smash-hit predecessor, and it took an extra week for the first "Lord of the Rings" to surpass $200 million.
"Juno", which was released in the first week, took advantage of the return of fans to the craze, and the box office increased significantly, winning $21 million at the box office over the weekend. With this boom, the North American box office of the film has also accumulated $158 million. Under the long-term screening, breaking 200 million is almost a certainty.
The performance was so strong that it was truly impressive.
But "Juno" with $21 million could only be relegated to the third place.
On this weekend's box office list, "Xiao Li" Leonardo DiCaprio has two exclusive titles among the top 5 films at the box office, including his new work, "Easy to Escape", which ranked second on the box office list.
Stie Spielberg's crime film "Impunity" earned $30 million this weekend, ranking as runner-up. The film has grossed $48.6 million since its Christmas Day debut. And at the Golden Globe Awards, the movie also won a number of nominations, which attracted a lot of attention.
This movie has a deep relationship with Chen Tiandu, and it was originally determined that Chen Tiandu and Tom Hanks would cooperate for the first time, and the two sides were almost about to sign a contract without any contradictions. However, because of Chen Tiandu's bad relationship with CAA, letting Chen Tiandu participate in the starring role hindered CAA's packaging plan and ran aground. In the whole of Hollywood, there are many people who do not bird CAA, and only a big director with a soft-faced personality like Spielberg will cooperate well with CAA.
For this reason, Chen Tiandu also went to watch this movie with Kate.
This is a real-life film based on real life, in which Leonardo DiCaprio plays a teenager. But he was a master swindler who defrauded tens of thousands of dollars, constantly disguised himself as an airline pilot, lawyer, and doctor to get ill-gotten gains. and then between him and the pursuing character played by Tom Hanks, there is a fatherly affection......
After walking out of the cinema, Kate looked at Chen Tiandu with a smile. "How?"
Chen Tiandu pouted, "Typical corruption and sensationalism, nothing else can surprise me, I am a little glad that I didn't appear in this movie." Just because he thinks so, doesn't mean that the reporters think so too. It's a coincidence. Just walked out of the movie theater and ran into a reporter. Good fellow, obviously prepared, came to block him.
"Christmas Chan, I'm a reporter for the Los Angeles Entertainment Newspaper, why did you come up with the idea of coming to watch "Get Away", and what do you think of this movie after watching it?"
He has no enmity with Spielberg, it is CAA that has a grudge. Ben ignored it, and was worried that these gossip tabloids were scribbling. Chen Tian secretly ran to watch "Unpunished" and the like, and it was disgusting to watch. After thinking about it, he stopped. replied: "After all, I was almost going to star in this movie, but when I saw the movie poster today, I went in and watched it when I was interested." As for the film itself, all I can say is that this is Stie's usual style, and his films have never disappointed. ”
Journalists are clearly reluctant to listen to this, "What do you think of Leonardo's performance?" ”
Chen Tiandu coughed dryly, and deliberately said in an old-fashioned manner: "I don't know Leonardo well, and I don't know what kind of person he is in life." As far as this movie is concerned, his performance is quite hard. It can be seen that he is trying his best to get rid of the influence of "Titanic" on him. I'm optimistic about the future of this young man, and Hollywood needs such young actors. ”
The "......" reporter was suddenly depressed. He wanted something more exciting, "Then do you regret not being able to participate in this movie?" ”
Chen Tiandu stopped abruptly, "Regret? Please ask me if there is anything I need to regret, please find a little basis. ”
"That's right......" the reporter wanted to say "Juno." But when he thought of Juno's small cost and big return, and won multiple nominations for the Golden Globe Awards, he quickly shut up. Otherwise, what else to say, "Fast and Furious"..."The Matrix"..."Infernal Affairs". Damn, he really couldn't find a partner, so he had to bite the bullet and say: "Pirates of the Caribbean." Will you regret not acting in "Loose Justice" and running to make that pirate film? ”
"Show funny! Please wait until after the release of "Pirates of the Caribbean" next summer. Chen Tiandu stopped talking.
He denied it, and the CAA saw the news, but shamelessly took it out to hype.
To add fuel and vinegar, Chen Tiandu regretted not participating in this movie and the like, what he did was to step on him to praise "Outside the Law".
As long as you have a little brain, you won't believe this kind of statement, but there are even more brainless.
It's just that Chen Tiandu is not good at responding in person, and the more he cares, the more he is attracted to the way of CAA. stirred up the topic, and what increased was the attention of "Out of Justice". "Unpunished" and "Juno" only hovered in second place, and the competition was so obvious that he wouldn't be stupid.
He doesn't respond himself, and there are people who help him respond.
In the matrix, Peck was asked to directly post a set of direct comparison data graphs, one side of which listed what Chen Tiandu did after being rejected to star in "Out of Harmony" last year, including the release of "Fast and Furious" and the release of "The Matrix 3"; "Van Helsing" and "Batman"; Executive producer of "Captain America", "Source Code", as well as the filming of "Pirates of the Caribbean", "Juno", including the release of "Juno".
On the other side is the box office and honor of "Unpunished".
The obviously unequal data comparison between the two sides, and the crushing results, make the speculators have nothing to say.
The media didn't take the deliberate hype of the CAA seriously, but after Peck posted it, he became interested in this comparison chart. It turns out that before you know it, the "workaholic" has done so much.
Including the unknown "Source Code", it was also exposed in Hollywood for the first time.
Curious media took a closer look, only to find that the investment in this film was as high as 30 million US dollars, starring Andy Liu, who was a hit in "Infernal Affairs". At first, I was dismissive of the fact that the movie was a Chinese-language film, but then I found that the script was written by Chen Tiandu, so I was a little more serious. Unfortunately, there is little information and little attention.
"What a workaholic!" Netizens expressed their amazement.
Coming back to that, is "Unpunished" so worthy of Chen Tiandu's regret.
The $30 million at the box office for the premiere can only be said to be a normal performance, compared to the film's investment of $52 million, plus the lineup of Stiespie Pierberg, Tom Hanks, Christopher Walken and Leonardo, this premiere result is really not a satisfactory answer. You must know that Chen Tiandu's "Juno", which took less than a month to film, earned $60 million at the box office in its opening weekend, twice as much as "Out of Harmony".
"Outside the Law" has been in preparation since last year, and it has not been released until now. During this period, Chen Tiandu has done a lot of things.
But it is undeniable that Leonardo DiCaprio is indeed dazzling in this Christmas file, and many people compare him with Chen Tiandu to affirm his commercial value.
Another film he starred in was Gangs of New York, which dropped one spot in its second weekend to No. 6 at the box office with $11.2 million this weekend. Martin Scorsese's 19th-century epic has risen to $30.1 million at the box office.
The Warner Bros. release, starring Sandra Bullock and Hugh Grant, "The Lover" grossed $16.1 million. "The Manhattan Maid," released by Columbia and starring Jennifer Lopez, grossed $13 million.
The cumulative box office receipts of the two films rose to $43.6 million (two weeks of release) and $57.4 million (release week), respectively, and the light was completely overshadowed by "Juno."
……
Seething, this is Hollywood.
The New Year is here, and the New Year's Eve concert in New York's Times Square is becoming more and more exaggerated year by year. It has been closed since 10 o'clock in the morning, and in the evening, it can't even walk.
Chen Tiandu sent New Year's greetings to many friends, and also received many party invitations but declined them one by one.
Of course, he didn't stay in the New York mansion with Kate, but put on a scarf and got into the crowd to enjoy the big party.
This is the last carnival in the United States, and as soon as the New Year is over, Americans will end their holidays and start the new year's work completely. This fun-loving American is in hell of pain, and it's only natural that they're going to have fun at the moment.
On the other side of the ocean, China has also begun to enter the Spring Festival atmosphere.
The train returning to the city is overcrowded, and every household has also begun to clean up, calculating the gains and losses of the past year, and the diligent ones have begun to prepare for the New Year. Fifty groups of rural returnees who lack recreational activities begin to gather together to play a small card. Even Chen Tiandu's wife was calling and asking when he would go home for the New Year.
Everything is the same experience, and before you know it, he has been in Hollywood for seven years.
He was another year older.
After the New Year, work resumed one after another.
The long-awaited "Van Helsing" has finally started shooting in a low-key manner, and the filming location is London.
In the words of Hugh Jackman: "I've been waiting for a long time for Van Helsing's turn." ”
Chen Tiandu also felt that the preparations were almost over, with the help of the physical strength that the staff and actors had reserved throughout the winter after the Christmas and New Year holidays, he also had to seize the time to shoot a little more, so that he could go home for a good year during the Spring Festival.
"Act I, London Lighthouse!"
