Chapter 920 Scene 920 World Movie King
Since July, when the three major blockbusters have struck, "Slam Dunk" has never won the single-week box office championship in North America, but the magic is that it has been standing tall and hovering in the third and fourth places, whether it is Warner's "Harry Potter 6", or Paramount's "Transformers 2", or Black Pearl's own summer ace "The Avengers", they all take turns to occupy the top spot, and the film maintains a stable level.
When "Slam Dunk" was released for 11 weeks, people were surprised to find that he was still on the top 10 list......
You know, it's the end of August now, not only "Flying House" has been released at the same time as "Slam Dunk", but even "Harry Potter 6" released in July has been drawn for a week, and "Transformers 2" and "Avengers" have already fallen out of the top ten on the list.
In the end, when people looked at the final report card of this summer file war, their jaws almost fell to the ground, "Flying House" collected 7.1 billion US dollars at the global box office, "Ice Age 3" reached a staggering 87.6 billion at the total box office, and "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" won the highest score in the series - 91.6 billion US dollars worldwide...... Paramount's "Transformers 2" also lived up to expectations, earning $8.16 billion......
Just seeing this report card is enough to excite the entire movie world, and the fact that there are 4 movies with a global box office of more than $700 million in the same summer is unprecedented in the entire history of Hollywood in the past 100 years......
Whether you're in Disney, Fox, Paramount, or Warner...... As long as you are a person who participates in this summer file war, this is an achievement that is enough to make people proud of their lives~~
It's a pity that even though these four movies have achieved such dazzling results, they are still completely overshadowed by the light of the other two works, because in this summer file, there are still people who far surpass them, yes~! Black Pearl Group, one of Hollywood's seven major studios, has produced two films with a global box office of more than $1 billion at the same time this summer!!
As of 17 p.m. on August 29, 2009, "The Avengers" has received a record $1,051.78 million at the box office, and while watching "Slam Dunk", ...... The first live-action 3D animated film swept the world, earning $1,278.9 million...... The two films broke the box office records of "The Dark Knight" and "Life of Pi" the year before.
"Slam Dunk" surprisingly broke the box office record of $1.1178 set by Li Xiaole with "Life of Pi" in two years, and became the second highest box office in the history of global films......
And this is not only the film set a box office record, but even Li Xiaole's own total box office has reached an unprecedented height, "Life Remote Control", "Iron Man", "Life of Pi", "Life of Pi", "Slam Dunk" These four North American films, plus China's "Let the Bullets Fly" and "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb", Li Xiaole's films have exceeded $3.1 billion at the global box office, officially surpassing James Cameron's 30. With a score of 7.8 billion, he became the second highest-grossing director on the planet after Spielberg......
At this historic moment, all the film media around the world are overwhelmingly reporting on the amazing record set by "Slam Dunk" and Li Xiaole.
""Slam Dunk" once again tells the world what a miracle is, what a movie masterpiece is, and why Li Xiaole is called the movie Jesus." "Li Xiaole created a new history, and "Slam Dunk" became the final winner of this year's summer war~!!"
For a full eleven weeks, Li Xiaole took his "Slam Dunk" to compete fiercely with the top movies of the century, and in the end he set a new record~!! We witnessed the birth of the king of movies in the new century~!! ”
The king of world cinema~~! This title has repeatedly appeared in countless media around the world~~ You must know that before that, although there were many super-first-class directors on this planet, Hitchcock, Kurosawa, George Lucas, Martin Scorsese, Francis Ford Coppola, Peter Jackson...... But only two American directors – Spielberg and James Cameron – can really be given this title by the media.
A few years ago, I'm afraid no one thought that this title would be given in front of a Chinese's name~!
This time, Time Magazine not only in Asia, but also in Asia, Europe, Latin America, Australia, and the United States, with Li Xiaole as the cover of the single page, the title is "The Coronation of the King of Movies", and young people all over the world are crazy to worship this Chinese young man who has been called the "King of World Cinema" since he was 27 years old.
Whether it is a traditional magazine, newspaper, television, or the Internet, Li Xiaole's deeds have been compiled into a series of legendary events to be tracked, and those former "classmates" and "neighbors" have come out to break the news, and all kinds of his small stories have been widely circulated......
"In 2001, a young Chinese man was interviewed by a major Korean agency and was rejected more than 20 times. Somewhat frustrated, he came to a restaurant to eat, and suddenly asked the waitress if she knew what "black pearl" meant.
The waiter said, "Yes, the pirate ship!" He excitedly ran out into the street and asked about 20 more people. People thought he was crazy. In fact, he just wants to give his future film empire a name that the whole world understands. ”
Li Xiaole was studying at Dankook University in South Korea, but he was bullied by students from the same school, and he said to the principal, your Korean movies are garbage, even if I make a film, I can sweep the Korean market, but I was dropped out of school and couldn't even eat, and finally got the funding of my classmate Ha Ji Won to start a company, and then the two "Color is Empty" was released, not only swept the Korean box office, but also won the favor of Ha Ji Won, the school flower of Dankook University...... Therefore, behind every successful man is a woman who is silently dedicated. ”
Those who are familiar with it or not, who know or don't know each other, as long as they have a relationship with Li Xiaole, have become the subject of interviews in China's major media. Even Steve Jobs, who is getting better and preparing to develop the next iPhone, was surrounded by reporters in his first public appearance after being discharged from the hospital, and the first question was: "Jobs~~ What kind of person do you think Li Xiaole is?" Why did he achieve such success? ”
Jobs could only complain to the chairman of the board of directors, Kelly Ya'an, with a wry smile: "No way, Ya'an, it seems that Li Xiaole will never join the company, you see, even I can only be called 'Li Xiaole's friend' by the media now......"
"Yes~~ I didn't expect him to achieve such an achievement as a director~~" Kelly Ya'an could only shake her head and sigh: "It seems that we should train another successor to you...... It's a shame that there is no one in the world who has the same innovative talent as you in the tech industry and can match Spielberg in the film industry......"
"Isn'......t there one now," Jobs couldn't help but smile bitterly, both of them sighed in their hearts, Li Xiaole became the so-called "king of movies", which is simply a huge loss for the entire science and technology industry...... Alas~ It's all caused by these damn media~~
At this time, the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce also officially announced the list of people who will be listed on the Walk of Fame before the 2010 Oscars.
The list includes Hugh Jackman, Ben Kingsley, The Villagers, Felicity Hoffman, William Macy, Cameron Diaz, Robert Downey Jr., and well-known stars such as Kenny Edmonds, Dave Cooz, The Magic, Shakira, and many others......
And there are two people in this list, but they have caused huge controversy, that is, Li Xiaole and the virtual character "Sakuragi Hanamichi". You must know that the people who can leave a name on the Avenue of Stars are all stars with great influence in the world cultural industry, and they will basically have the opportunity to leave a name on them after they become famous, and Li Xiaole is only 27 years old, and his directorial career can be said to have just begun, and he has won such an honor, you know, even James Cameron has not obtained this qualification......
And Sakuragi Hanamichi was even more unconvincing as a virtual character...... Why can a Japanese anime character be like Mickey Mouse and Snow White on the Avenue of Fame to "hit the stars and press handprints"?
In the face of many controversies, Hollywood Commerce's explanation is simple: "The influence of director Li Xiaole and the fictional characters of Sakuragi Hanamichi has reached an incredible level in Asia, the most populous country, and we think they are definitely worthy of being on this honor list." ”
Why Li Xiaole and Sakuragi Hanamichi are eligible to enter this list, just look at a data to understand, "Slam Dunk" won the championship in China for 8 consecutive weeks, and the box office reached a record 1.2 billion yuan, becoming the Chinese mainland box office all-time champion...... At the same time, in Japan, "Slam Dunk" has maintained the No. 1 position in the weekly box office list for 11 consecutive weeks since its release, breaking the record of 31.4 billion yen for "Spirited Away", which is considered mythical, and the box office has reached 33.7 billion......
In Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand...... "Slam Dunk" has rewritten almost all the records held by "Titanic...... If such a director is not selected for the Walk of Fame handprint list, then what kind of person can be selected?
While all walks of life are still indulging in the craze brought by Li Xiaole's "Slam Dunk", Li Xiaole is ready to start his new journey, and on the official website of Black Pearl Company, he officially announced the news of "The Legend of the Great Sage", which has been in preparation for more than 1 year.
