In this era, the information is smooth enough, except for a few regions such as ****, which is almost separated from the earth, the news of a Hollywood film breaking in North America will soon spread all over the world. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

With the development of the global film market to the present, only Hollywood movies can really circulate universally around the world, which even the most undesirable people cannot deny, especially the North American blockbuster films, except for a few individual genres, are often extremely popular in most overseas markets.

Deadpool is no exception.

In the first three days of its release in the UK, "Deadpool" opened a stellar $15.2 million, which also set a record for the best opening of an R-rated film in the British film market in April.

Also on this weekend, "Deadpool" also landed in many overseas countries and regions, especially those that were deeply influenced by Western culture.

In Germany, the film slashed $8.65 million in its first week; sun-drenched Spain, which earned $3.9 million in three days; $9.1 million from France; Australia $10.15 million; Brazil $5.37 million; more than $6.1 million in Mexico; South Korea $7.5 million......

Looking at the global film market, this is a weekend for "Deadpool", even if you don't count the box office figures in North America, the film has exploded in 37 countries and regions around the world to collect $112.5 million!

This is also the largest overseas box office for a single film since Murphy entered Hollywood.

At the same time, Murphy also left England and moved to Paris, the capital of the arts, to continue his promotional journey in Europe.

The Fleet Street reporter's question was simple, but there were many things in common between British and American cultures, and the film industry was no exception, so the reporter who interviewed Murphy at the time, although the question was very sharp, did not question or deliberately upset Murphy about the film.

But France is different, this is the birthplace of cinema, many filmmakers have a special sense of superiority, like Luc Besson is a clear-headed person, those who are immersed in their own literary and artistic world, often disdain Hollywood commercial films, whenever there is a Hollywood blockbuster release, always nostrils opposite.

This trend has naturally spread to the French film and television critics and related media practitioners, who have never taken Hollywood commercial films seriously.

But Murphy doesn't care about these people's opinions, there is a saying on the other side of the Pacific that is very true, different ways do not conspire with each other, since the most basic film concepts are inconsistent, there is no need to contact.

Apart from two routine propaganda activities, he did not continue to stay in France at all, let alone communicate with his French counterparts.

It is true that French cinema has almost become the standard-bearer of continental European cinema, but so what? While Hollywood films are moving towards a wider audience, continental European cinema is the opposite, with increasingly niche styles of filming and production.

Looking at the whole world, the decline of European cinema is an indisputable fact.

When it comes to a mature and complete film industry, the first reaction of normal people should be Hollywood, and it is not difficult to see from the overseas box office explosion of "Deadpool" that only Hollywood has the ability to produce such a large-scale film industry, a high degree of genre, technical support for action films, stunt films and the ability of global distribution.

"Why does Hollywood have so much share of the overseas market?"

On the plane, Jessica Alba, who was sitting across from Murphy, asked curiously, "Murphy, what do you think are the key factors?" ”

Murphy's eyes were taken back from the window, because "Deadpool" was a box office hit, and Twentieth Century Fox also had a big deal, renting a business jet for the crew for a promotional trip to Europe.

Seeing that Murphy didn't speak, Jessica Alba asked again, "Is it the advantage of industrialization?" ”

"That's one thing." Murphy picked up the glass of water in front of him, took a sip unhurriedly, and then said, "I think it's Hollywood's ability to distribute globally, which is the purpose and the core motivation." ”

"Uh......" Jessica Alba's eyes showed enough curiosity, "can you tell me about it?" ”

It would take a while to fly from Paris to Rome, Murphy thought for a moment and nodded.

"This is my personal opinion, and the outstanding global distribution capacity is a factor that determines that it is Hollywood, not other countries, that can form such a complete industrial system."

His words also represent the mainstream view today, "and it is this factor that has allowed the Hollywood film industry to continue to dominate the global market for so many years after World War II, and although there have been twists and turns in between, the big picture has never changed." ”

Murphy reminded, "Think about the big six Hollywood companies now, can you still find a distribution company of the size of the Big Six in the film industry in any country in the world?" ”

"Uh......" Jessica Alba thought for a moment, then shook her head, "No." ”

She grabbed her long brown hair, "This kind of ability doesn't seem to be difficult for the current Big Six, right?" ”

"It seems simple," Murphy shook his head, "but it's hard to do." ”

"It's hard." Robert Downey Jr.'s voice suddenly sounded, and he walked over from behind with a glass, "Otherwise, there wouldn't be only one Hollywood in the world." ”

Sitting next to Murphy, he took Jessica Alba's question and said, "Because to maintain true global distribution, you need to have an equal level of understanding of all markets around the world, and be able to balance the misunderstandings of different cultural differences in the same film." ”

Murphy nodded, fully agreeing with Robert Downey Jr.'s words, "That's right. ”

Jessica Alba was more of a pretty listener, blinking curious eyes and continuing to look at Murphy.

Seeing her expression, Robert Downey Jr. said again, "But like "Deadpool", let the global audience get the same laugh, let the global audience agree with the same concept, and let the global audience like the same character." Such a thing that requires talent or master artists to be born by chance has become a standardized production and operation mechanism in Hollywood, so it is not surprising that Hollywood can have the current scale. ”

"You know so much, Donnie." Murphy patted Robert Downey Jr. on the shoulder, stood up and said, "I'm going to talk to Seth for a while." ”

Leaving his seat, Murphy went to the back row, where Seth Rogan was sitting and reading a book earnestly.

He sat down across from Seth Rogun and tilted his head to look, "Elements of Cinema? ”

Seth Rogen noticed Murphy at this time, put down the book, scratched the back of his head and smiled innocently, "I bought it before I got on the plane." ”

"You go ahead." Murphy thought it would be better not to disturb him.

From the beginning of filming "Deadpool", he noticed that Seth Rogen, in addition to acting, was also learning about directing, which is a very self-motivated guy.

There is no doubt that Seth Rogen and Jonah Hill are both good at comedy, and it is really a waste not to develop into comedy movies, and Jonah Hill is okay, this fat man likes to play too much, and has no ideas other than actors, and is already working on a new film with James Franco and the Rotten Boys.

The relationship between the two of them is very good, so Murphy also knows these people very well, Seth Rogan has the ability and does not lack perseverance, and in the future, the achievements of actors may not be as good as Robert Downey Jr. and James Franco, but it is possible to become a good comedy director.

The current Seth Rogan has only just served him as an assistant director, and his ability in this area is far from enough, if he does improve in directing in a few years, maybe he can push it.

Looking at Seth Rogen, who picked up the book again, Murphy naturally flashed this thought, he is not good at comedy, but he has also studied a few comedies, and the investment is not large, the risk is relatively small, and it can attract external capital investment, if it can be successful, the return is not only to help Seth Rogen, but also a large profit.

You can also cram your own small group into it......

Thinking about all this mess, Murphy closed his eyes, and a flight attendant brought a towel and covered him.

"Thank you." Murphy opened his eyes, nodded to the other, and then closed his eyes and fell asleep.

In his sleep, James Franco, Seth Rogen, Jonah Hill, Robert Downey Jr., plus himself, suddenly appear in the mansion that Robert Downey Jr. has just purchased from Beverly Hills, and they drink wildly and dance with countless female stars until the sky falls apart and the flames are raging......

When the plane was about to land, Murphy was woken up by Seth Rogen on the opposite side, and the business plane landed smoothly at Rome's Fiumicino Airport, and after the crew got out of the airport and got into the car from a bunch of fans and reporters, Murphy got the latest North American box office statistics just transmitted by Twentieth Century Fox.

In the past weekend, "Deadpool" not only exploded at the overseas box office, but also had no rivals in the North American market that has been released for four weeks, and the trend was unusually stable, and the North American box office in the past three days only fell by 40% compared with last weekend, and while getting 27.6 million US dollars, it also achieved three consecutive championships in the North American box office rankings!

This is the first time that Murphy has won three consecutive box office titles, and "Deadpool" is also the first North American film to win three consecutive box office titles in North America this year.

The film has already grossed $186.3 million at the North American box office, and this weekend's $27.6 million, plus $19.88 million in four working days, brings the total North American box office of "Deadpool" to $233.78 million.

Adding in the $112.5 million earned overseas this weekend, the film's global box office easily exceeded $300 million, reaching $346.28 million.

By the time Murphy and the others finished their trip to Rome, "Deadpool" had crossed the $350 million mark without any suspense.

But that's not the end, the storm that this film has set off has not yet come to an end. (To be continued.) )
