Chapter 321: Kill to Hollywood

ps: Let's have a two-in-a-row first, it's a weekend bird, it's a mid-month bird, are you ready to be ferocious, I'm ready, if there are twenty monthly passes today, I'll be five more, eighteen thousand, if there are thirty, seven more than twenty-four, how about it, it's very full and very ferocious, next, look at your birds!

Because of the success of the first part of "Jedi Men", coupled with the warm-up publicity that began in mid-May, various posters, trailers, movie recommendation reviews, etc., "The Seven Deadly Sins" was released in the first week of the movie theater as high as 525, and the box office performance recorded in the first weekend was very good, at 15.18 million US dollars, and the single theater results were infinitely close to 30,000 US dollars, as high as 28,915 US dollars.

This result is second only to "Jurassic Park", also just released and directed by Spielberg, whose single-theater score is $55,622; Harrison Ford starred in "The End of the World", his single-studio score was $32,265; Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan starred in "Sleepless in Seattle," which ranked fourth with a single-gallery score of $31,083.

July to September is the hottest time for the summer file, during the period when "Seven Deadly Sins" was released, in addition to the above "Jurassic Park" and other three super blockbusters, there are also a lot of blockbusters such as: "Law Firm" starring Tom Cruise, "Unethical Deal" starring Robert Rayford and Demi Moore, "Sniper in the Line of Fire" starring Clint Eastwood and so on.

Chen Jin was a little dizzy when he saw these lists, most of these are real classics, they are all super popular after 20 years, what is not xiangdao is that his "Seven Deadly Sins" actually gave them an equal seat, and even trampled some films under their feet, it is really a man's pride to the extreme.

However, the next three weeks were decisive, or rather, the next two and third weeks were the key points of victory and defeat, and at this time, although the box office in other places overseas was as high as 18 million US dollars, Chen Jin did not bother to pay attention.

In the second week, the number of theaters in which "The Seven Deadly Sins" was released skyrocketed to 1,100, and the results of a single theater soared to $30,000, and the weekend box office recorded $34 million, and this box office result Yijing hit the fifth place in the weekly box office list of the United States, behind the 56 million of "Jurassic Park", the 52 million of "The Outlaw", the 49 million of "Sleepless in Seattle" and the 43 million of "Sniper in the Line of Fire".

Not to mention the super blockbuster "Jurassic Park", now Yijing is his fifth week of release, and the global box office has accumulated to more than 700 million US dollars, of course, Chen Jin knows very well that its limit is 900 million US dollars, that is, he is still continuing.

Interestingly, "The Outlaw" and "Sleepless in Seattle" are also released in the second week, only "Sniper in the Line of Fire" Yijing is in the third week, under normal circumstances, the box office of all movies in the world has a pattern, the third week of movie release is often the hottest, and it is also the best box office performance, there are few exceptions like "Titanic". Of course, local films may have some exceptions due to publicity reasons, for example, when Hong Kong movies are released locally, the third week is generally the second week difference.

When the third week of the decisive battle came, "Fire Line Sniper" fell behind first, and his box office in the fourth week fell to less than 30 million, collecting 29.15 million US dollars, and at the same time, the performance of the sixth week of "Jurassic Park" also fell significantly, only just over 40 million, with a total of 41.09 million US dollars.

"Seven Deadly Sins" failed to achieve a miracle after all, although the number of movie theaters increased to 1,600 this week, but the box office of the movie was only 44.28 million US dollars, and there was a significant decline in the performance of single theaters, and this often indicates the decline of the box office in the fourth week. ..., although it is only 44.28 million US dollars, it has finally entered the top three of the weekly box office list in the United States in this period of strong gears, second only to the 61.88 million US dollars of "The Outlaws" and the 52.71 million US dollars of "Sleepless in Seattle", which is definitely a milestone for Hong Kong films, not to mention, the global box office results have accumulated to 200 million US dollars, and this number is enough to make all Hong Kong people crazy, especially entertainment journalists.

200 million US dollars, yes, you read that right, it's 200 million, and it's not Hong Kong dollars, it's US dollars, not to mention, this doesn't seem to be the end, oh my God, thinking about so much money, I'm actually a little dizzy - "Entertainment Unlimited" Shagang wolf.

200 million US dollars, compared to the current Hong Kong box office of 45 million, this is really too big a gap, what does this mean, obviously, King Chen Yijing has become a real Hollywood production master, he is the symbol of Hong Kong movies - "Xingwen Week" half a pig-killing knife.

With an investment of 30 million Hong Kong dollars, he is about to make 3 billion Hong Kong dollars at the box office, this jealous guy, no wonder he is so liked by women, the most unfair thing on this shijie is nothing more than this-"Entertainment Weekly" Ke Fan.

Everyone focused on 200 million US dollars, singing praises to Chen Jin, of course, there are naturally countless people who envy and hate, it is said that Brother Qiang and Mr. He Guanchang now hate itchy teeth, because when they chose to invest in Jackie Chan's "Red Fan District" or this "Seven Deadly Sins", they did not hesitate to choose "Red Fan District" with an investment of 50 million Hong Kong dollars, and abandoned "Seven Deadly Sins" with an investment of only 30 million Hong Kong dollars.

Of course, there are reasons for this, first, "Red Fan Zone" and "Jedi Warriors" have similar meanings, they are both witty action movies, and the investment is about 50 million Hong Kong dollars, with the success of the front, the back is naturally more stable, and second, both of them have also read the script of "The Seven Deadly Sins", and they both think that this film is too dark, unpleasant, and too risky.

200 million US dollars, and it's only been three weeks, at this time, the two of them don't think that "Red Fan District" can get the same results, but there has never been a regret pill to take on this shijie.

No one has endless money, and the company of the two people is the same, it cost almost 40 million to invest in "The Line of Fire" Yijing, and they also have their own investment and film, and there will be no objection to Chen Jin's choice at that time.

What's more, even if they know that Chen Jin may be careful now, but that is what they chose, besides, the movie hasn't started filming yet, who the hell knows what the box office of the movie will be, now that I think about it, I can only Xiwang "Red Fan District" is a big hit.

Unlike the media in Hong Kong, because of the popularity of "The Seven Deadly Sins", the global media also have their own reports and interpretations.

The dialogue is worth savoring, and it doesn't have the boring quizzes of the previous movie, Jedi Men. Not only does the antagonist make a surprise appearance in the final scene, but he also has a long monologue. What he said was not profound, but it was difficult to fathom. The film dares to give a large number of lines to the opposite corner to show its artistic charm, which is really a good move. Although the ending ended in the death of the opposite angle, it was actually his big victory. -- The Times

Gluttony, lewdness, greed, laziness, arrogance, jealousy, anger - the seven original sins, conveying cruel human nature and violence, the director through a very wonderful layout, all of them concentrated in the final ending, so natural and plain, but profound and shocking, zhende is extremely wonderful - German "Bild"

At the same time, the Hong Kong film, which ranked third in the weekly box office list in the United States, also made the media in the United States have more affirmation and praise for Chen Jin and the drama directed by him for the first time.

Completely different from the style of "Jedi Men", the former is witty and joyful, but "The Seven Deadly Sins" is dark and depraved, from this moment on, Kingchanyijing left us a deep enough impression - "Chicago Sun"..., Kingchan's first directorial work, but he did a great job, from the set, lighting, photography, to sound effects and editing, every detail is perfectly grasped, amazing, undoubtedly, he Yijing succeeded - "Entertainment Weekly"

This is Kingchan's second screenplay, and his first directorial work, and his performance is just as good, so to speak, he understands the Hollywood spirit and the way of production, and he may become another Oriental miracle of Hollywood (the first Bruce Lee) - USA Today

The success of "The Seven Deadly Sins" also pushed Chen Jin onto the track of success by the way, he began to have some fame in Hollywood, as long as he continues to accumulate, it is natural that more people will pay attention to him, he has such capital, no matter in the eyes of Eastern and Western people, he is so perfect and handsome face, figure, this is enough to make people remember you for the first time.

Compared with the powerful faction, why is it easier and faster for the idol faction to succeed more quickly, the reason is very simple, they have a good face, and this good appearance can first make the public like and be hooked, and whether it is a record or a movie, or even others, the most direct purpose is to please the public and make them pay obediently, then, it is conceivable how those bosses will make a choice.

At the beginning of August, the global release of "Seven Deadly Sins" ended, although the local box office in Hong Kong did not collapse in the last week, and even increased to a certain extent due to the stimulation of overseas news and the madness of the Hong Kong media, and finally only collected 58 million Hong Kong dollars, which is really not very good.

Of course, this is for Chen Jin's golden signboard, and besides, compared with the total of 251656891 US dollars recorded in the world, converted to more than 2.2 billion Hong Kong dollars, Hong Kong's box office is indeed a little shabby.

It's no wonder that some media still say that Chen Jin's film is an out-and-out Hollywood film, and even a kind of flattery to Hollywood, Yijing has lost the spirit of Hong Kong films, but unfortunately, most people scoff at this kind of sour argument.

30 million for 2.2 billion Hong Kong dollars, but unfortunately, excluding the issuance fee, it is only a little more than 1.1 billion Hong Kong dollars, plus the box office in Hong Kong, it is less than 1.2 billion Hong Kong dollars, although it is said that this yijing is forty times the profit, it is crazy, but Chen Jin is a little unhappy that half of the profits are taken by others, and the stronger and stronger possessiveness in his heart makes him start to plan to do something.

"The Seven Deadly Sins" has just ended, "The Line of Fire" has also completed post-production, and the publicity of the United States is even more popular.

You must know that "Jurassic Park", which has just been released and has received more than $900 million at the global box office, is also invested by Universal Pictures.

Because of the length of "The Line of Fire", Universal Pictures is not without complaints, James said at the beginning of the negotiation that he would charge an additional five percentage points of the distribution fee, and after Chen Jin refused, he said three more points, and finally terminated the negotiation without negotiating.

At that time, "The Seven Deadly Sins" had just been released, and after the second week of hurricane, James finally couldn't sit still and took the initiative to ask Chen Guobao to contact the Jinchen Group, which was negotiating with 21st Century Fox.

In fact, the length of the film is too long, and there are also relevant regulations for increasing the distribution fee in North America, and the same is true for theaters, which will watch a single dish, but strong film companies, as well as super blockbusters with big names, even if it is long, a copper will not give you.

Chen Jin's negotiation with 21st Century Fox is not fake, but there are two points bitten here, and there is no intention of releasing for the time being. ..., James should know the chassis of Fox in the 21st century, and he also said two points, but now Chen Jin Yijing doesn't want to give a dime, the reason he gave is that the movie Yijing produced by Jin Chen Film Company is guaranteed, and the high results of a single theater every time are enough to make the theater unable to say, at the same time, Universal Pictures is now a super giant, with their strength, and the quality of "The Line of Fire", there is no possibility of increasing the distribution fee at all.

In the end, the equally stubborn James did not do anything more ambitious Chen Jin, however, Chen Jin did not give him benefits, he Yijing signed the distribution rights of "Jedi Men 2", which will start filming next year, to Universal Pictures.

Now that the cooperation is good, it does not mean that the next film of Jinchen Group must be found by Universal Pictures, because the quality of his film is good enough, with guarantees, everyone is happy to help, and there are all kinds of benefits that are not used, so that the partners of Jinchen Group will change in the next moment, Americans believe in pragmatism, and what is in their own hands is their own.

At the same time, the two sides hit it off that Chen Jin will rush to the United States with the main creators of "The Line of Fire" for promotion.

Last time, Chen Jin is not famous, the past is not of much significance, Chen Jin is not happy, it is better to stay in Hong Kong to accumulate character, and slowly hang up the appetite of the big guy, Danshi, with the success of "The Seven Deadly Sins", he Yijing has a certain popularity and popularity, and has also received a certain amount of praise, then, it is time to open the curtain of publicity and appear on a bigger stage, so that more people know him, like him, and be fascinated by him.

And the film company didn't have the main creator of Xiwang movies to help promote, so the publicity effect was more, but, at the beginning, they had the same concerns as Chen Jin, danshi, now yijing is different, the simplest truth, Chen Jin and they have passed, and the effect of eyeballs has been achieved by yijing, and that, yijing is a good effect.
