The production cost of "Speed 2" has reached 140 million US dollars, advertising sponsorship is 40 million US dollars, and the cost of promotional copies is also 30 million, which means that if you only count the box office, you need to exceed at least 400 million globally to make money from the box office. ~Top Novel,

Of course, the income from acoustic CDs, DVDs and other peripheral products has always been an indispensable part, and as long as the movie is worthy of the ticket price, there will be no messing up.

Before "Speed 2" on May 15, the first blockbuster to enter the summer vacation schedule was "X-Men 2", but Chen Tiandu took precious time to attend a movie premiere in April.

"Bulletproof Monk" is a comic book adaptation film launched by MGM, starring Zhou Yunfa, Jamie King, Sean William Scott, and others. It tells the story of a tantric monk who is responsible for protecting the ancient mysterious scrolls, and how to find a successor.

As the premiere approached, MGM was worried about the promotion of the film, and sent invitations everywhere to invite big names to help with the premiere.

Zhou Yunfa also received a bunch of invitations, he didn't have any friends in the United States, and Chen Tiandu only had a cameo in "The Matrix 2" and didn't have many personal relationships. But thinking that everyone was Chinese, at least they could understand each other, so they sent a letter to Chen Tiandu.

At the premiere, Li Lianjie, Wu Yusen, and Li Case all came by appointment, and that's all. Except for Li Lianjie's popularity, everything else is just going through the motions.

Just when the reporters thought that this was the full red carpet of the premiere, a gorgeous square car suddenly drove in the distance. The first person who saw it thought he was dazzled and wiped his eyes. When he looked there again, Chen Tiandu had already walked out holding a woman's hand.

"Chen Tiandu—"

A long exclamation of surprise. Called out all the nearby press cameras.

It was near the end of the red carpet. Fans suddenly erupted into a raucous frenzy, "Ahhhhh......hh

The momentum was too loud, and the organizers were directly startled, "Something happened." ”

"Chen Tiandu is here."

"Did we invite him?"

"It should have been invited by Zhou, he is a Chinese."

“…… It seems that Hollywood will have another Chinese gang. ”

Chen Tiandu's female companion is Li Jiaxin, who is the only newcomer starring in "Speed 2". It's not very popular in the United States, and it just needs to be exposed. After weighing it, I took her to walk the red carpet.

Zhou Yunfa also felt happy in the distance, he was really a popular superstar, obviously not his movie but he could steal the popularity of the starring role. But it was too late for him to be happy, so he walked up a few steps quickly and gave Chen Tian a hug.

"Brother Fa, sorry for being late. The main thing is that it takes too much time for women to put on makeup. This is Li Jiaxin, you should know. Li Jiaxin hurriedly said hello, "Hello Brother Fa." I'm a fan of yours. ”

"Miss Li, welcome." Zhou Yunfa smiled: "It's good to come." It's never too late. Sure enough, the yellow skin looks kind, and although there is no personal relationship, there is no slightest estrangement at all. Li Case and others are no strangers, but it is the first time they have met Wu Yusen. It's not like a fellow countryman to see a fellow countryman, but there are also common topics, and it won't be cold.

MGM's producers all came, greeted Chen Tiandu warmly, and Chen Tiandu also said good things, and the treatment was completely different from others.

This kind of snobbery also made Li Case and Wu Yusen look at each other and smile bitterly, "Since Fa Zai has pulled Tiandu over, it is really redundant to ask us to come over." Zhou Yunfa hurriedly explained, "I just sent an invitation letter, and I'm not sure he can receive it." It's a face-saving day. ”

Chen Tiandu was also generous, saying: "Everyone is Chinese, and it is not easy in Hollywood. If you can help, try to help, as long as you use me, you can just open your mouth in the future. ”

He is no longer what he used to be, and with this commitment, it is even more important than winning an important role, and everyone is very useful. The Chinese are the best at infighting, but when they go abroad, they are extremely united. It's just that the influence of the Chinese in Hollywood is too low to speak. Fortunately, now that there are leading figures, maybe we can really look forward to the future.

Chen Tiandu's arrival postponed the end of the red carpet show. The surprised fans kept calling his name, and he didn't have any srest, shaking hands with the fans on both sides and taking photos. Since you have already stolen the limelight, you will grab it hard. But whenever the reporter asked about the movie, he generously said good things about Zhou Yunfa.

"Chen, may I ask who is your female companion?" A reporter just got to the point.

Chen Tiandu glanced at this interesting reporter, and the "Los Angeles Times" was really his own, and said: "Everyone should have seen the trailer of "Speed 2", this is Michelelee, a famous Hong Kong actor, and one of the leading actors of "Fast and Furious 2". The reporter hurriedly asked Li Jiaxin a few questions, and took a few sets of photos of her beautiful makeup. Looking at the flashing lights around her, she was very satisfied, "It's not in vain that Miss Ben spent two hours putting on makeup and dressing up, and this luxurious evening dress that costs up to $250,000." ”

Chen Tiandu's goal has been achieved, and he has not forgotten to promote his movie.

"Bulletproof Warrior Monk" was officially staged, but after watching the movie, Chen Tiandu couldn't say anything "optimistic". looked at the Li case, and the Li case seemed to understand what he meant, and said in a low voice: "It's enough, look at the box office performance." Chen Tiandu nodded, "It will be more and more difficult for Brother Fa in the future." ”

……

The next day, Chen Tiandu, who had not appeared for a long time, helped in the news of "Bulletproof Warrior Monk", which was even more popular than the leading actor of the movie and was placed on the front page of entertainment. But the media's rating of the movie is much more stingy, and the judges on IMDB are also below 6 points.

The box office was also unsatisfactory, with an investment of more than 50 million, and only $13 million at the box office in the first weekend, winning the third place in the weekend box office list. This kind of box office, we can only expect the performance of the DVD market, but the reputation is disadvantaged, and MGM may not invest anymore. Of course, the top box office this week is only $23 million.

This sluggish theatrical performance lasted for two weeks and didn't improve until the release of X-Men 2. If you wait a few more weeks, the cinema operators should be worried.

The hugely squeal sold $85.9 million in the U.S. and Canada within three days of release, according to data released by the distribution company on Sunday. The film was released simultaneously in 93 countries around the world, grossing $155.2 million at the combined box office, more than half of the total box office revenue of its previous episode, "X-Men," released in 2000.

X-Men grossed $54.5 million when it premiered in North America, and went on to grossing $157.3 million nationwide and $294 million worldwide.

The grand opening of $85 million also officially announced the early arrival of Hollywood's hot summer film show.

Although it is Fox who dominates, Marvel also has a stake in the movie. Now that Marvel has changed its surname to "Matrix", the IP of "X-Men" and "Spider-Man" cannot be taken back anyway, but fortunately, Hulk has successfully recovered the copyright through the company's efforts.

Hollywood's summer film schedule typically begins on the Memorial Day holiday weekend (May 23-26), but in recent years studios have begun to release their big-budget films early in an effort to maximize profits in the market.

For Marvel, X-Men 2 marks the birth of the company's sixth consecutive title-winning film, the following being X-Men, two Blades and Spider-Man, and the recently released Daredevil. Following this trend, "The Green Giant", which will be released by the company on June 20, will likely become the seventh champion film.

The following weekend, "X-Men 2" enjoyed its second — and perhaps the final weekend as the most popular film — at the North American box office. The $41 million weekend box office helped them stay on top of the charts, with a cumulative box office of $149 million.

Comedy superstar Eddie Murphy and his first major film of the year, "Daddy's Nursery", also achieved a good record at the box office. With a debut of $27.6 million, it ranked second on the box office list.

The performance is quite eye-catching, but everyone knows that next week's champion film has been booked, and that is "Fast and Exciting 2". All other films released at the same time, no matter who they are, will be knocked off and smashed!

On May 15, "Fast and Furious 2" was officially released in 3,870 theaters in North America.

At the Los Angeles premiere, the same luxury cars appeared in rows, and this time the family added many more upscale guys. A premiere scene was like a car press conference. Those big-brand cars are even more energetic to show their faces in the movie, and they don't care how much they spend on advertising. The first film grossed more than $900 million worldwide, which made them extremely confident. Even if you show a logo just to be crashed, maybe it's just for a premiere like this that gives cars more opportunities to show.

Lin Yibin was in a nervous mood, students will always have a time to take the college entrance examination, and now with him, it is on the way to the examination room.

"Whoa, whoa—"

The cinema was thunderous with joy and listened to the roar of the fierce racing motors.

The first starring roles are all back, and they are still familiar characters, as well as more glamorous and moving beauty characters.

is still a fast-paced music, still Chen Tiandu's signature fast-paced plot advancement, fast interspersed editing, may not be as thrilling, grandiose, and whimsical as the first part, but it also has a unique charm. The story is clear, there are cars, collisions, explosions, there are no fewer bikini beauties, and the "family" that Vin Diesel often talks about has also been preserved.

There are a lot of racing elements. (To be continued......) i527
