A theater at MGM in Los Angeles. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info レ?レ

There is a huge poster hanging on the wall of the ticket window, a handsome guy and a bald man who feels funny when they look at it sit in the front of the car, and there is a heroic female official standing next to them, the combination of the three is so interesting. The main thing is that the three are not white, nor black, but purebred yellow faces, and the English name of "Best Partner" is also played on the poster.

It didn't take long for a young white man to come over, this white young man may be a fashionable music lover, I saw him swaying to the rock music on the side of the street and jumping over step by step, and smiled at the ticket lady in the ticket window: "Hey, beautiful Lisa, is there any interesting film to introduce to me, I want to see a film that is both passionate and can make people's blood boil, I want to have a good time tonight." ”

The ticket lady clearly knew the young man and pointed to the poster on the wall, "John, if you want to have an unforgettable night in the cinema, I think you should watch this movie." ”

John casually glanced at the wall, didn't look closely, and said dissatisfiedly: "Beautiful Lisa, why did you introduce me to a foreign language film." No, beautiful Lisa, although I don't want to refuse you, I still have to say that I don't want to watch foreign language films. ”

"Poor John, if you don't watch this movie, I think you'll regret it. It's a pretty good movie, with Bruce Lee's kung fu, intense racing shows, exciting gunfights, and the same computer effects as Star Wars, and I think all the good action elements are incorporated into it. Although it is a foreign language film, it is better than most Hollywood blockbusters. Lisa worked hard to introduce "Best Partner" to her own theater.

John slapped his forehead, "Ah, God, this can't be the "Best Partner" from Oriental Hong Kong that MGM recently promoted, right?" ”

"John, you're right, this show is "Best Partner". I heard that the script of this drama was written by the screenwriter of "Home Alone" last Christmas, and the screenwriter is best at writing stories, and the plot of this "Best Partner" is very good. Lisa complimented again.

"Ah, it's still the work of that person, I think this must be a very good movie, beautiful Lisa, you moved me, give me three tickets, I want to invite my parents to come to the theater at night to enjoy this "Best Partner"."

"John, I can't see that you're still a dutiful son, but don't you want me to watch a movie?"

"Beautiful Lisa, of course I want to invite you, but don't you still have to work here?"

"I'm not on duty at night."

"Okay, Lisa, then get another ticket, I'm sure tonight will be a really wonderful night."

"Best Partner" was finally released in the United States, and the results on the premiere day did not disappoint Chen Shaoyi, and it achieved a box office result of $570,000 in the United States on the first day of release, which is less than the $720,000 of "Home Alone" at the beginning. However, "Home Alone" was released in 32 theaters at that time, and "Best Partner" only had 25, on average, the box office of "Best Partner" in each theater was higher than "Home Alone", which is also the reason why the schedule of "Best Partner" is worse than the Christmas schedule of "Home Alone", otherwise it may be more than that.

"Best Partner" was able to achieve such a good debut box office, which is also thanks to MGM's previous good publicity. "Home Alone" was shot in the United States, which is more relatable than "Best Partner" in the United States, but "Home Alone" is a comedy after all, and when it comes to commercial films in the United States, action movies are still better than comedies.

Since ancient times, the movies on the box office list have been occupied by action movies, after all, compared to comedy films, action movies have a higher investment, or they can achieve a higher box office, everyone goes to make comedy films. Of course, there is a thing called accident in the world, and there is also a film on the box office list that is an accident, that is, the vigorous love disaster film that cries to death after RI, and "Titanic", which has occupied the top ten years of the global box office list. Of course, at present, "Titanic" does not even have a shadow, and the box office list is naturally full of action movies.

There are many selling points of "Best Partner", first of all, this drama has some similarities with the popular "007" series that has swept the world, and with the fame of "007", it can also be mixed up with a famous hall. But "Best Partner" is not only that, but when borrowing from the plot of the "007" series, it also incorporates a lot of elements that are different from "007". Especially under Chen Shaoyi's intervention, this "Best Partner" is more colorful than the one in the previous life.

The appearance of a large number of high-tech products in the play "Best Partner" is refreshing, and I sigh that Chen Shaoyi, the screenwriter, has a rich imagination, which is better than those professional talents. Subsequently, a large number of fight plots in the play were integrated into many oriental martial arts, which was very attractive to the audience in the United States who yearned for Bruce Lee's mysterious oriental martial arts. The speed of life and death in a car chase on the road is also adrenaline-pumping; There are also some computer special effects applied in the play that are the same as advertised, not much worse than the previous "Star Wars", after all, several masters of Chen Shaoyi's computer special effects department are all from industrial light and magic.

In addition to the plot of Jingcai, Xu Guanjie, the leading actor, is not small in the United States, he is one of the two Chinese who have held a solo singing in the United States, and his influence is not ordinary, and he has a lot of fans in the United States, especially the large number of Chinese Americans, these are the main forces of the box office growth of "Best Partner".

All of this combined made "Best Partner", a purely Chinese-language film, get off to a good start in the United States, with a fruitful first box office, and as time went by, the reputation of "Best Partner" became better and better, and more and more American audiences recognized the show, and "Best Partner" quickly became a new topic in the American film industry.

Seeing this situation, MGM also let more theaters under the theater start to release "Best Partner" at the same time, and "Best Partner" was fully rolled out in major cities across the United States. This made the box office of "Best Partner" grow rapidly like a hormone. In the first week of its release, the box office has grown to more than $7 million, or more than $50 million in Hong Kong dollars, almost double the box office of "Best Partner" in Hong Kong. However, this is only the beginning, and I believe that in the next few weeks, with the strong support of MGM Theaters, the box office of "Best Partner" will continue to surge. (To be continued.) )
