Chapter 425: Hello Pirates, Finally Set Sail

The third film in the Terminator series grossed $44.1 million in three days, bringing its cumulative box office revenue since its July 2 premiere to $72.5 million. [ads:This site has a new URL,Shorthand method:,.]

The film also set a new record for the 55-year-old Schwarzenegger, who has rarely had an impact in recent years. The most recent film to premiere was 1997's "Batman and Robin," which debuted with $42.8 million. The last Terminator film series, Terminator 2, debuted in 1991 with $31.7 million, and its five-day cumulative box office receipts were $52 million.

The production budget for this "Terminator 3" is said to be between $150 million and $175 million. Schwarzenegger was paid $30 million for the film.

If you add this production cost to the publicity budget, both the production company and the distribution company will face a lot of pressure. They expect to get a good return at the box office. But now the North American box office is not the expected big hit. The word-of-mouth is also far lower than the second part directed by James Cameron. Now they can only hope for a good performance with the overseas box office.

The comedy "Legally Blonde 2" stars Reece Witherspan, who plays a fashionista who challenges the Washington bureaucracy. The film topped the charts with $22.9 million over the weekend, culminating $39.2 million over its five days of release. The film was a pre-episode in 2001, and Legally Blonde sold $20 million at the box office in three days of release. Both films were distributed by MGM.

The film is clearly young, with about 70% of the film's audience being male fans, 62% of whom are under the age of 21. But the investment cost of the film is not under much pressure, only less than $50 million, of which Witherspan still accounts for $15 million for the film.

So this box office performance may earn more than "Terminator 3".

"Speed 2", which has been in theaters for eight weeks, continues to earn $3.95 million this week, and the North American box office has accumulated $313 million. At the overseas box office, it also received $18 million this week, accumulating $436 million. The global box office exceeded 700 million. $749 million.

"Captain America" overtook "The Hulk" across the board, still earning $16 million in the third week, ranking third, with a total of $138 million in North America. The 14.2 million of "Breaking Bads 2" squeezed into fourth place. And the universal-led "Hulk". In the third week, it fell even harder, earning only $8.2 million, and North America accumulated $117 million.

Other than that, lackluster.

Now the vast majority of fans are looking forward to the last big production of the summer season - "Pirates of the Caribbean".

And the matrix also duly launched the last of the three fires they promoted.

Chen Tiandu personally went into battle and led the pirate trio to prescribe a deluxe version of the program schedule for the final promotion of the movie. Including "Oprah Talk Show", "The Ellen Show", "The Big Ville Show", "Jon Stewart America Everyday Show", "Bill Marsh Time", "Conan O'Brien Show", "The Tonight Show", "Goosebumps" and many other well-known talk shows. There are a few other types of shows.

Five years ago, after being on "Saturday Night Live" once, he never logged in to a TV variety show, and now it is his five-year debut. also went out in person and added such a luxurious program schedule to himself.

It's really eye-catching.

The first one to play was her own family's "Ellen Show", where the pirate trio appeared to frantic applause and then danced with Ellen in her style.

"Hello Captain Jack, hello pirates, finally willing to come to my show. Why not bring a Gregorian ...... Oh, great Gregory? Allen greeted Chen Tiandu with a big hug. Laughed and complained.

When he appeared on the talk show again, he was still a little uncomfortable, and said: "You know, Gregory's salary is too high, and he is the most difficult guest on the planet." Last time, I lost my temper and set fire to Stephen's shop, leaving us with endless trouble, but I patted my ass and disappeared......"

"Hahaha."

The audience was amused by his first words, applauding and screaming enthusiastically.

Chen Tiandu was also surprised, his words hadn't been finished yet, and the audience was so excited?

It seems that the audience of today's talk shows has become very low in laughter. "Well, to be honest, I'm worried that if Gregory comes, we'll steal the show. This guy is too good at stealing the show. No one has ever done it. ”

"Hahaha~" Another burst of exaggerated laughter.

Chen Tiandu's eyes widened and he spread his hands at Allen, "What's the matter, Allen?" ”

β€œwhatοΌŸβ€ Alan also looked at him suspiciously, as did Heath and Kayla.

Chen Tiandu pointed to the audience and said, "Tell me honestly." Did you go through the collusion with everyone, why do they laugh like this every time I speak? And I laughed twice the first time I spoke. You know, I'm super sensitive to talk shows, is it so lively on talk shows? Wow~" He screamed strangely, with an excited expression, which once again attracted loud applause from the audience.

Everyone understood, and Alan also smiled, "Okay, I see." It seems that you haven't been on a talk show for too long, do you think that what you see on TV is all laughter added behind the scenes? Come on man, apart from the Gregorian scene, we don't have that much of a bargain. ”

"It seems that it is, and the audience is more endearing today." He had a look of regret.

"Haha, I'm getting more and more interested in why you stopped on TV shows after you participated in talk shows. Are you interested? Eren asked Heath and Kayla on the side.

"Of course." Kayla seemed to have something to say and seemed positive, saying, "This guy is usually funny, both in private and on set. We don't understand where he has mental illness. Also, bastard, even if you're the director, I'm going to say, don't joke about my boobs. ”

"Hahaha." The audience laughed in unison, and Kayla laughed along with her own words. Only Chen Tiandu had a wooden face, and said as a matter of course: "Please, this is none of my business, it was all done by Gregory." That serious expression was almost the same as when Gregory was playing tricks, and it made people laugh again.

After the opening laughter, I gradually got to the point.

Chen Tiandu also slowly adapted to it. "Participating in a talk show on the spot is still very different from watching it in front of the TV. I still remember the first time I participated in the scene, when I didn't understand anything, and I was called like a clown by the host. As a result, the audience screamed and argued. I feel terrible. I remember that the conversation seemed to revolve around the topic of the 'American dream', and I thought that only China liked to pull the main theme, but I didn't expect the United States to be the same. Please, what does the American Dream have to do with me, I couldn't understand it at the time. I feel like I'm being tricked by them. So much so that there are still psychological shadows, and no matter who enlightens me after that, I ignore them. ”

"In a way, this is also a kind of mental illness."

Heath patted him on the shoulder and explained, "I can understand you, I'm Australian. ”

Alan said: "So that's the case, I said why I watched that episode of the show many times, and I couldn't find the reason why you were disgusted." So, you're averse to edification, right? ”

"Of course not. I want to educate in a way that everyone is happy to accept. ”

"Like Juno?" Kayla asked.

Chen Tiandu was stunned, "Did "Juno" educate you?" ”

This expression was so funny that it once again caused the audience to burst into laughter. Kayla put her legs together, "Okay, I'm being amorous, haha." ”

Alan enjoyed the lively atmosphere and jumped in the chair, which was her hosting style, which was sometimes childish. It's natural and doesn't make people stressful.

"Go on, Chen." You're not done yet. Do you hate being installed as a representative of the 'American Dream'? ”

Chen Tiandu spread his hands and said, "You know, I'm from China. It's a political power. There are also a lot of dogmatism in our country, and young people don't care about that. ”

Under Alan's guidance, the conversation was very smooth.

Chen Tiandu appeared on a talk show again after five years, which also gave audiences who were not familiar with him a clearer understanding of him. This is a young man who is used to being funny, even though he is now a big boss, but he seems to get along very well with Heath Ledger and Keira Knightley, who are new actors. The relationship with each other is like an old friend, and any joke can be made.

He really has a lot of jokes, accompanied by his doubtful expression that occasionally reacts slowly, and from time to time he can make the audience laugh. This kind of cuteness, you can say that he is wooden, but on the talk show, it has become his funny signboard.

And versatile, when asked about the flash mob event on New York's Central Garden Plaza, Chen Tiandu generously admitted that he planned it. That clown pirate captain is him.

So Alan encouraged him to come to a violin performance, of course Chen Tiandu would not refuse, he thought that his violin played well.

pulled a song "Master of Crime" by Michael Jackson. This song is already super classic, and it is even more handsome to play with a violin. It's no wonder that after MJ's death, so many world-renowned violinists loved to play this song on the violin.

Chen Tiandu's level is no worse than that of a professional, and he is extremely skilled in high-level performances such as jumping bows and slingshots.

The familiar music was played on the violin, which simply made the audience worship, and the applause came one after another. Even Kayla and Heath became his fans. Kayla clapped her hands, "I've always thought he was very talented, but now I know he's versatile. ”

……

Without a doubt, his first stand-up comedy journey was perfect. made "The Ellen Show" soar to 20 million when the ratings of the night were at their highest. This is of course due to the recent increase in the exposure of "Pirates of the Caribbean", and also because Chen Tiandu, who was very hyped before, will appear on a talk show five years later.

"The Allen Show" created the night's ratings champion, which was completely unexpected.

Ratings are a thing that everyone likes. Chen Tiandu's popularity also made these shows start to look forward to it.

The second stop is to switch to the world-famous "Oprah talk show".

Oprah has a lot of resentment towards him, she is the No.1 in the talk show industry, but since Chen Tiandu became popular, she has invited Chen Tiandu to his talk show several times, and now it has finally come to pass. (To be continued.) )
