Chapter 199: The film is released

On May 18, Pirates of the Caribbean 3 was released simultaneously in more than 30 countries around the world, and in North America, that is, in the United States and Canada, a total of 4,325 screens were shown for the sequel to this much-anticipated film. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The reason for the attention is first of all the release of Pirates of the Caribbean 2 last year, which generated a box office revenue of 1.1 billion US dollars, second only to Titanic in 97 and The Lord of the Rings 3 released in 03, and the box office is only a few million dollars lower than The Lord of the Rings 3, almost becoming the runner-up.

Secondly, Zhou You's participation made this film the most anticipated movie before it was released, and no one was not curious about his overall performance as the richest man in the world in the movie.

This is also Disney's real appetite, and the trailers they posted online, including short videos of the tour that were deliberately leaked to the Internet, made everyone hooked.

Disney is full of confidence in the box office of the third part, and the box office record of The Lord of the Rings' 1.12 billion is not a breakthrough at all, if it weren't for the fear of being scolded and rampant, they even want to catch up with the god film Titanic.

Zhou You was not involved in the promotion of the movie, and while other actors, including Paris, were promoting it all over the United States, he stayed alone in the big villa in Las Vegas, fooling around with a few running friends. Kardashian can bring him super physical enjoyment, while Nicole and Jessica can bring him both physical and psychological enjoyment, making him really feel happy.

After the release of the Fantastic Four last year, the film suffered a Waterloo and was unsatisfactory at the box office. But this movie has made the world know Jessica, a beautiful beauty with South American style.

In the 2005 Global Beauty Awards, Jessica ranked in the top three in many lists, and most of them even ranked her first.

In addition to Jessica, the same is true of the 39-year-old Nicole, although she is already a flower of the past, she is also at the top of many lists.

With the two of them, Zhou You's interest in other women is not so strong, even if Paris is not in Los Angeles, he can stay in the villa honestly, not to mention, and Lindsay Lohan and their best friends will often come here to communicate with him.

Nicole has already played the mother of Howling Wind in the prequel, and this role has been positioned. Let's see how the box office revenue of the prequel is, if it's good, her role will be fixed.

At the end of the first part of the prequel, the knife in Zhou You's hand was inserted into her abdomen, and the movie ended, but it was not said whether she was dead or not, just to prepare for the later series.

As for Jessica, because she is not purebred white, she is still more discriminated against in Hollywood. Of course, this discrimination is not explicit, but implicit, mainly because there are few characters who fit her image.

However, Pirates of the Caribbean just needed a large number of non-purebred white characters, so, at the request of Zhou You, Bruckheimer also agreed to add a character tailored for Jessica in the fourth part. Like Gracia, she can't play a purebred white man, but it's still a good fit to play a Spanish half-breed.

The premiere on the evening of May 18 attracted a lot of media attention because of the tour, and the Sony Theater on Hollywood Boulevard was surrounded by media from all over the world, not just entertainment journalists.

Zhou You appeared on the red carpet with Paris as the finale, but he underestimated the abilities of these reporters, and the flashing lights made his eyes glisten with silver light, and he couldn't see anything at all.

If Paris hadn't been by his side and helped guide him, he wouldn't have been able to keep a smile on his face and walk through that red carpet. This star is really not easy to be!

After signing in front of the signature board, Zhou You felt that his eyes were about to go blind, and he went directly into the infield without being interviewed, and at this time, tears flowed down his face, making Paris laugh.

What Zhou You didn't know was that a camera followed him all the time and filmed the scene of him shedding tears. That night, many media outlets were still criticizing Zhou You, saying that his failure to follow the procedure for being interviewed was disrespectful to journalists and to the Disney Company, the organizer of the premiere. But when I saw the videos the next day, everyone laughed.

Although Zhou Yu was ugly, the premiere of the film was very successful. After a major revision of the plot, Pirates of the Caribbean 3 has been highly praised by fans and the media for its tighter plot and sharper action scenes than the original.

Although Xiao Feng played by Zhou You is a bit rigid in performance, he has a high fit with the role. In addition, he is not a professional actor, and the audience is also very tolerant of him, so he is still recognized, and even evaluates him much higher than the vase of Paris, which makes Paris particularly annoyed.

She has always wanted to prove herself in performance, but unfortunately, her head is empty, and despite all the embellishments, she still can't feel the way she should be. Anyway, the most famous vase in Hollywood, she can't take off this name.

In the first three days of the opening weekend, Pirates of the Caribbean 3 swept the global box office, and the opening day income on Friday directly reached 670 million US dollars, ranking first in the highest opening day box office list, first in the highest single-day box office, and first in the highest Friday box office.

The next day, Saturday's box office was a blowout, with a total box office revenue of $84 million, a record that shocked the world, because the box office on this day was unattainable by countless movies during their entire release.

Sunday's box office shrank a little, but it also exceeded $70 million, and throughout the three days of its premiere, Pirates of the Caribbean 3 was like a giant hammer, directly breaking countless records. The opening weekend box office record of more than 220 million has stunned countless film critics, who had expected the film to be a hit, but could never have imagined that the box office would be so high.

This box office record also disappointed Disney's top management, and they specially arranged two business jets to provide them to the crew and began to promote them in North America.

The box office in the first week exceeded $300 million, the second week exceeded $200 million, the third week still had $100 million, and although the fourth week did not reach $100 million, the box office record in North America has surpassed the Titanic and become the No. 1 box office in North America.

In Asia, Pirates of the Caribbean 3 also broke numerous records in one fell swoop, especially in East Asia, where the addition of Zhou You made the film a huge hit, and the number of moviegoers exceeded an all-time high.

The same is true in South America, where many people go to the cinema not even to see a movie, but to see what they look like in a movie.

But in Europe, the response to the film was mediocre, and the mecca of art films did not have much curiosity about the appearance of Zhou You, but the film still surpassed Pirates of the Caribbean II and The Lord of the Rings 3, second only to the Titanic at the box office.

Even so, a month after its release, Pirates of the Caribbean 3's total box office record has surpassed Titanic, and the box office is approaching the $2 billion mark.

However, at this time, the stamina was insufficient, and the screens released were greatly withdrawn, leaving only a few screens that were still attracting the pockets of fans.

What makes Zhou You find it funny is that after the box office of the film exceeded two billion US dollars, he received countless scripts, and the remuneration made those professional actors and stars jealous, and almost all the films invited him to participate in were blockbusters.

Paris was jealous, she wanted to take on some interesting roles, but no one invited her, Zhou You didn't want to act in a movie, and the film appointments were piled up.

Although the film company sees him as a cash cow, Zhou You has no interest in it. Even if a film pays him $100 million, it is nothing in his eyes.

He didn't play Howling Wind for money at all, just because the role fit the image he promoted.

However, the film's huge profits have also made Disney full of confidence in the prequel, and has begun to let the screenwriter write the script for the second part of the prequel, and all the actors' roles are according to Zhou You's opinion.

At the same time, the fourth part of Pirates of the Caribbean has also been officially put on the agenda, but due to the emphasis of the characters and the plot, the script of the fourth part has not been able to come out.

Zhou You has not paid particular attention to these, and he has been focusing on peace talks in Colombia and investment negotiations in other countries in South America.

With the precedents of Colombia and Venezuela, negotiations are now much simpler, and many of the terms can be copied directly. At present, almost all the preliminary negotiations have been completed, and only after the sentence of Zhou You is reached, he will go directly to South America to sign the contract.

However, the civil war peace talks in Colombia have been progressing slowly, mainly because the U.S. government has been putting pressure on the Uribe government and does not want the peace talks to succeed.

If the peace talks are successful, in addition to being politically very passive in the United States, more importantly, American companies will be discriminated against, even in areas controlled by government forces, which is quite unfavorable to the United States.

Although the peace talks are expected by Colombians, the United States is too strong, and the pressure on the Uribe government is very high. At the same time, Uribe's father died at the hands of the partisans, so personally, his attitude was also relatively negative.

Although the French government, including many countries in Europe, has been making efforts, there are still many obstacles to peace talks on the political front. However, it is not that there are no results, at least, in the economic aspect, the two sides are still of one mind, and only in some areas are there some artificially created contradictions.

Zhou You and a period of time has been very honest, every month to report to the local police station on time, every time the police officers see him, not as a criminal, but as a star, Zhou You almost did not accept any interrogation every time he passed, the main task is to sign and take photos of the police.
