Chapter 305: Justifying the name of the great director - the king of the box office in the new era (second update)

(Ask for a monthly pass, ask for a subscription!) )

"Absolutely."

Chen Tiandu smiled, "I look forward to all the movies." "Hero" directed by Zhang Yimou is a very ambitious movie, and martial arts films still have a certain audience boom in Europe and the United States, which should make a difference. I hope that all filmmakers will unite as one, turn infighting into mutual encouragement, and work together to make the film market bigger. ”

This sentence suddenly pulled himself to the moral high point, and bluntly said infighting, CCTV may not report it. At the end, they also conveyed the invitation of the Spring Festival Gala program group, but Chen Tiandu politely refused, "Too-busy! ”

A few days after the interview, December 9-15, the third week of the release of "Reloaded", this is a weekend without public holidays, perhaps due to the influence of Chen Tiandu's star awarding on the Avenue of Fame, or maybe it is really the return of fans of "The Matrix 2 Reloaded". There was a dramatic box office this weekend, with "Reloaded" topping the list with a narrow success, topping the weekend box office charts for the third consecutive week.

The three-day weekend result of $28.5 million at the weekend box office and $48.5 million at the weekly box office also pushed the total North American box office to a height of $220.16 million.

Released this week, "Mr. Sweetheart" director Cameron Crowe directed, "Pretty Soup" Tom Cruise starring, Spanish big-mouthed beauty, Penelope Cruz, who is entangled with beautiful soup, and another Hollywood big-mouthed beauty Cameron Diaz and Jason Lee co-starred in this thriller full of love and lust "Vanilla Sky", which was humiliated by the box office revenue of $25 million over three days over the weekend, and also squeezed "Ocean's Eleven" to third place. Tom Cruise also became the "head" of this gang of thieves.

Paul Degarrabidi, president of the U.S. box office authority, said: "We expect every film released starring Tom Cruise to be a top-of-the-list title. This film is no exception. It's a pity that he met Christmas Chan in full swing. ”

The star-studded robber film "Ocean's Eleven" earned just $23.1 million this week, while "Not Another Teen" came in fourth with $13.1 million. With the eagerly awaited release of "The Lord of the Rings" on Wednesday and other post-holiday blockbusters, North America should gross more than $8 billion this year.

In its fifth week of release, "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" fell to fifth place, earning $9.9 million at the box office this week, with a total of $250 million in North America and a cumulative $785 million worldwide. The upward momentum is still unabated, and with the long-term screening, it is possible to break eight or nine in the end.

Compared with the overseas box office of "The Matrix 2 Reloaded", it is a little weaker, but it is just as amazing!

In the third week, overseas revenue was $85.2 million, and the overseas box office and North America box office combined reached $630.36 million. Breaking the global box office record of "The Matrix 1" is no longer a suspense. Matrix's professional evaluation analysts predict that the final North American box office of the movie should be around 300 million, and perhaps in the near future, hackers will continue to hack all over the world. Climb to new heights of $700 million, or even $800 million.

If this film continues to exceed 800 million, then the matrix will give birth to two masterpieces with a global box office of more than 800 million this year. And they only released four films in the year. It's a shame for other companies!

This is also the market analysis of matrix movies and competitors, good movies + good marketing + good reputation have once again won a comprehensive victory.

Even now, this achievement has also made Chen Tiandu's fourth big box office system with a global box office of more than 600 million.

Bosoffice, a well-known authoritative statistical agency, also updated a list that has not changed for a long time on the day of the weekend box office update - the North American box office list of directors.

It immediately attracted the attention of countless media and fans.

Since its creation, this website has been a pioneer in Hollywood's statistics, and the directors on the North American box office list list of well-known directors are mainly literary films, so they rank low in the list, and some directors' films are mainly limited by the release of theaters, and individual films have low box office, which does not reflect their appeal.

But it doesn't matter, because all the reporters, viewers, and fans are all going for one name, "How much is the box office of Christmas Chan?" ”

The highest box office of a single film of $330 million, the box office of six North American films, a total of 1.34 billion North American box office, an average of 223 million each. The total box office of the seven films in the world exceeded 3.3 billion, with an average of $470 million per film......

These crazy numbers add up to a crazy money-grabbing Christmas Chan, and his number of fans has skyrocketed, with blog hits skyrocketing every day, and IP addresses coming from all over the world. What's more, he is also the chairman of Google, and fans don't just pay attention to him for entertainment, but also for elites in the IT industry.

The top of this list is still Spielberg, and the big director has two films released this year, "Artificial Intelligence" is 97 million in North America, 157 million in the world, with an investment of 100 million, and "Minority Report" is 132 million in North America, 358 million in the world, with an investment of 102 million...... Nineteen films grossed $2.924 billion in North America at an average of $153 million each, and $6.248 billion worldwide, with an average of $330 million each.

In second place is the great director Robert Zemeckis, with 12 films of $1.542 billion, an average of $129 million each, but the global total box office is lower than Chen Tiandu's $3.107 billion, and the best grossing film is "Forrest Gump" with 330 million in North America and $677 million in the world.

The third place is none other than a brand new name - Christmas Chan!

In fourth place is the great director George Lucas, who has only made five films, and if you exclude his 1971 film "500 Years Later," which earned $2.44 million, the average score is staggering, averaging $400 million. But this can't hide the fact that his total box office in North America is 1.321 billion, and the global box office is also 2.466 billion US dollars, which is also less than Chen Tiandu.

Of course. Now called the list. It's all just for non-inflationary situations.

Great director Ron Howard. The total box office in North America is 1.3 billion, and the global box office is 2.092 billion US dollars! It was followed by the great director Chris Columbus, the great director Clint Eastwood, and the great director James Cameron!

In terms of the global box office rankings, Chen Tiandu even killed the "King of the World" James Cameron, ranking second with a score of 300 million US dollars!

It's really a jaw-dropping fact that Chen Tiandu is already the second in the world.

The global media rushed to cover this unbelievably crazy number show, and Time magazine put the latest issue on the shelves just right, and the cover character was Chen Tiandu at the center of the storm.

He is pictured wearing a white shirt with an open button on his chest. Navy blue casual faux denim trousers, brown casual leather boots, look nondescript. Holding his fingers on each other, he seemed to be contemplating, and his eyes were a little lonely and a little melancholy.

In the title of the cover, Time magazine used the phrase "to justify the name of the great director - the king of the box office in the new era".

Here are a few figures: 3.3 billion box office, leveraging the global economic leverage of 9 billion, five years!

As soon as the issue hit the shelves, it was immediately bought by readers around the world. China, Hong Kong, Japan, United Kingdom, France, Germany, Brazil, South Korea, Canada...... This is not the cover of the North American edition, but the cover character of the global edition.

Countless mainland fans. When I saw that the cover character was Chen Tiandu, I would stop and take a second look. Zhang Ziyi is still filming in the desert. Ask the assistant to bring her a magazine, and she is flipping through it with relish. The first sentence of the opening chapter reads, "Released before Christmas 2001, I also wish Christmas Chan a happy 27th birthday and a Merry Christmas!" Then she was about to go to filming, but the magazine was gone, and when she looked back, she was being read by Li Lianjie, and she was fascinated: "...... A lot of people say you're starting to swell and be arrogant, and you think so yourself? …… Sometimes it's not always good to be too low-key, so why not be high-profile? There is a saying in China, called 'the body is not afraid of the shadow crooked', we don't have to pay too much attention to gossip, we can't control the length of our life, but we can control the width of ourselves. People just have to be generous. ”

In a short time, this magazine has been passed on several times, which made Zhang Ziyi angry, she hasn't finished reading it yet, but the people who borrowed the magazine are all big names in the crew.

In Hong Kong, Andy Lau got off work at noon, he was used to going to afternoon tea first, and suddenly saw the "Time" magazine on the newsstand, and immediately asked the driver to stop, and after getting out of the car, he bought a copy and sat in the car to watch, "...... I'm not really an ambitious person, I'm willing to be lazy. I don't usually have much to spend, but now I have enough money to spend a few lifetimes. But living in this environment, there's always something that's catching up to keep you going......"

In Central, where his company is unwilling, Chen Huilin and Li Jiaxin are being invited by the mainland Aokang Group to serve as brand spokespersons for women's shoes, and have just taken hard photos of the product in the photo studio. At this moment, he gathered at the Q8 restaurant in Central to be interviewed by reporters.

The photo advertisement will be placed nationwide at the end of February, when both of them will go to the mainland to help with the promotion, and then shoot TV commercials in June and July. At the press conference after filming the advertisement, the two stood side by side, slim.

Jia Xin said that she took a full six hours and wore a total of 16 or 7 pairs of shoes, and Jia Xin was very satisfied with these shoes and hard photos, saying that although they were shot in Hong Kong, they were shot with a European feel.

Li Jiaxin, known as Li Beauty, has long been the darling of fashion endorsements, but Chen Huilin, who has risen rapidly with "Infernal Affairs" in recent years, has been crazy to make money at a speed that does not lose to her.

According to Hong Kong media reports, she even violated the unspoken rule of accepting endorsements and not accepting advertisements for two similar products, and last time she connected two beverage endorsements in Tokyo, Japan, so that merchants could call them moldy. Because it was time for the large-scale photo exhibition of the two advertisements in Ginza, it turned out that the spokesperson of the other party was the same. When a reporter asked her about this, she could only pretend to be stupid and say that she didn't know the rules when she first debuted, and she was sorry, but the money couldn't be refunded. -- It can be seen that it is making money.

Asked Chen Huilin and Li Jiaxin's remuneration this time? Chen Huilin smiled and didn't answer, Li Jiaxin smiled happily and said: "It's inconvenient to disclose, in short, it's a happy price." (To be continued......)
