On February 12, the 21st day of the release of "Death is Coming 2".

After the first seven days of hot release, its popularity began to gradually decline in the following ten days, following the heels of other big-box office movies to continue to harvest the box office.

As of the day before yesterday, a total of 19 days of release have received 540 million yuan in China, a total of 1.05 billion yuan in North America, 870 million yuan in Europe, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and other Southeast Asian regions have also received 190 million yuan, Australia has contributed 100 million, and Japan and South Korea have directly contributed 200 million.

The total global box office reached a staggering 2.95 billion yuan, equivalent to 320 million US dollars!!

Far exceeded the total box office of "Death is Coming 1"!!

The box office record of Chinese movies was once again refreshed by Wang Shang!!

After the news came out, countless Chinese film and television people were stunned on the spot again.

Countless fans of Wang Shang also began to become fanatical, and those who did not become fans of Wang Shang couldn't help but start worshipping.

At the studio's high-level video conference, Bi Han took a report and read it: "According to the current box office of 2.95 billion, we currently calculate that we have 700 million yuan of our own, and if we remove the production costs and publicity costs, the final profit is still 500 million yuan." ”

"Haha, it's good that Paramount shared most of the publicity money this time, otherwise we would have taken as little as the first part."

"That's why our strength is recognized by them, if not at all. There is only the share of slaughter. ”

"Combined with the 150 million profit of "To Youth", our Tianwang Studio has a fund reserve of 650 million, and with this fund, other film plans can finally be carried out." Speaking of this, Wang Shang opened his mouth and arranged: "The three films "Jaws", "Fast Speed", and "Death is Coming 3" will also be done, and the operating cost consumption of 660 million funds to go out of the studio should be able to support the start of filming of this walking movie at the same time. Of course, if the movie version of "Love Apartment" can be made, it will not be bad. ”

Several high-level officials took notebooks and wrote down Wang Shang's arrangements one by one.

After turning off the video conference, Mr. Wang began to browse the news. See if there's any news you're interested in.

Soon, a piece of news caught Wang Shang's attention.

"The 2005 Oscars will be held in Hollywood on March 5."

Wang Shang suddenly woke up. It turns out that his film has not yet been on the Oscars.

The Academy Awards ceremony can be said to be the most authoritative film award in the world, and it can directly throw off the Huaxia Academy Awards several streets. Every year, the ceremony attracts countless world-famous movie stars, directors, and film guests, and it will also attract hundreds of millions of fans around the world to watch the live broadcast, which can be said to be unprecedented.

It is the best place for filmmakers to gain fame and fortune. It is obsessed with countless filmmakers. It's Oscar!!

""The Grim Reaper 1", which was released last year, was not in the eyes of the Oscar Academy. It seems that I still need to work hard, and I can't be complacent just because I have achieved a little. Wang Shang secretly woke up to himself, and the pride of "Death is Coming 2" that had just won the high box office suddenly melted in half.

……

February 15th. After several days of preparation, with the support of the local government, the crew finally started filming the carjacking plot on an abandoned railway.

The plot of the carjacking is quite thrilling, there are a lot of dangerous actions, and it is easy to have accidents, but fortunately, there are special effects artists to help break down the plot, and the various clips are disassembled and filmed little by little.

Just as Wang Shang was coordinating the whole scene, the crew ushered in a few guests.

"Sister, is this the place?" Xiao Jie sat in the back seat of the car and looked out curiously through the glass.

"Well, it should be here." Xiao Yu nodded repeatedly.

Zheng Xinlan was also like them, looking at the strange world outside with a curious expression, barren and uninhabited, only one railway was more conspicuous. And in one of the sections of the railway, there are a bunch of cars, tents, and a lot of people, which is probably the crew of "Fast and Furious".

This time the three of them ran over, in addition to the two children who wanted to watch a movie, Zheng Xinlan was also tempted by the 8 sports cars, as a person who loves racing, the attraction of well-known sports cars is undoubtedly very fatal. Originally, I couldn't bear the disgust of the movie and didn't want to come, but every time I couldn't help but think of those 8 sports cars, my heart was itching.

"It would be nice if I could touch it and drive it!! …… No, I hate movies!! ”

Under this kind of 'torment' day and night, the two sisters, Xiaoyu and Xiaojie, suddenly felt bored and began to shout to see Wang Shang.

"This is what the two of them are going to meet, definitely not my ......"

Zheng Xinlan, who finally found an excuse, began to come to Nanhai Province with her two children to look for the crew of "Fast and Furious".

A big beauty came to the crew with a pair of cute and beautiful twin beauties, which surprised many crew members and actors.

When Wang Shang saw the three of them, he was stunned, Wang Shang thought that this beauty would not come. Recently, the four drivers of Yan Ran are teaching these main actors some racing skills, but there is always a bit of a gap between men and women. Just when Wang Shang was struggling with this matter, this beautiful driver ran over, and if she really wanted to doze off, she sent a pillow.

"My lord, I finally saw you." When Xiao Yu and Xiao Jie saw Wang Shang, they began to shout from afar, and they also ran over excitedly.

"Two little beauties! It's an honor to see you! Wang Shang greeted them one by one with a smile, and then smiled at Zheng Xinlan and said, "Welcome to the crew of "Fast and Furious" ......"

"If it weren't for Xiaoyu and Xiaojie wanting to come over, I wouldn't have come." Zheng Xinlan argued stiffly, but her eyes couldn't help but look in the direction of those sports cars.

"I can testify that what my sister said is absolutely true, hehe." Xiao Yu interjected with a smile at this time.

"......" Zheng Xinlan glared at Xiaoyu fiercely.

Wang Shang didn't pay too much attention to it, and said directly: "You can drive those cars casually." But I need your help to train my two actresses, and there is always something inconvenient for male coaches to teach actresses. ”

Zheng Xinlan didn't reply, probably a little moved, but she was willing to agree because she had always been dissatisfied with the actors.

In less than half a day, the twins Xiaoyu and Xiaojie used the tricks of invincible beautiful girls to get acquainted with the entire crew, and the tension of the entire crew was also eased. And Zheng Xinlan, a beauty, also made many crew men fall in love with her, and her appearance is a little more beautiful than Jerkassie, Du Manni, and Song Zheng.

When Wang Shang directed the filming, he deliberately paid attention to some of her behaviors, and found that she frequently looked at the 8 cars, but she was a little hesitant. And when he looked at the most prominent of the actors, Jeccasie, Du Manni, and Song Zheng. I can't help but frown.

"It seems that the knot in my heart is still quite heavy. But she needs to overcome these things by herself, and no one else can help her. ”

Then Wang Shang stopped paying attention to her and began to seriously schedule the crew.

In the story of the train hijacking, the part where the sports car is hijacked from the train car is the most difficult. And the train exploded and the sports car fell into the river under the cliff. This needs to be done with special effects. In the studio, the action of falling into the water is done, and then the special effects technology is spliced onto the real-life cliff.

The studio is built not far from the railway, which is convenient for the real scene and special effects to cooperate with each other.

Every day, the crew is busy from morning to night. The logistics are responsible for delivering lunch boxes for meals, and the water for bathing and everything is transported directly from the city by fire trucks, and the whole crew has never left this place at all.

The two black friends, Zhang Shi, Du Manni, and Jerkasie, who have no role in the scene for the time being, are not idle, but learn to drag racing under the guidance of the driver coach. The surrounding land is very flat, and Wang Shang directly hired several bulldozers to bulldoze a football field-sized flat field in a day for them to learn to drive. These people have cars to fly, so they are naturally very excited.

It took half a month of filming to complete the plot of 'hijacking the train', and everyone almost fell tired.

However, Xiaoyu and Xiaojie did not have a specific assignment of work, and they came to a strange new environment, and there were so many brothers and sisters, they felt very fresh and had a very good time carefree. And Zheng Xinlan was still entangled, obviously wanting to drive those 8 sports cars, but she couldn't help but drive.

And the three main actresses also found that Zheng Xinlan seemed to be very repulsive to the three of them, especially when she talked and laughed with other male actors and directors, she would frown, making them baffled.

After the filming of this part of the plot, Wang Shang took the crew back to the lively city and urban area to shoot the rest of the movie clips.

There are no slums in Nanhai Province, so Wang Shang had to find the old city.

Wang Shang led the team to inspect the entire Nanhai Province at that time, and finally found the most suitable old town for filming in Maicheng County. The occupancy rate is the highest of all the old towns in the province, and it looks old on the outside.

After coming to this place, the crew arranged various resettlement work and started a new filming journey.

……

Time goes by, February ends, March begins......

After 40 days of release, "Death is Coming 2" finally ended perfectly with a global box office of 3.1 billion and was officially released worldwide!

The box office of 3.1 billion yuan, equivalent to 340 million US dollars, temporarily ranked ninth in the global box office in 2005.

In addition, it managed to reach the top 100 of the global box office charts, ranking 87th, behind "Grinch Christmas" (2000).

After the news was transmitted back to China, it was like a nuclear bomb thrown into the film industry, and it exploded upside down!!

"Celebrate!! Hit the top 100!! ”

"Feat!! The top 100 global box office rankings finally have a Chinese movie!! ”

"A new breakthrough in Chinese films!!"

"The level of Chinese movies has reached a new level!!"

"Thank you to the Heavenly King Studio!!"

Countless domestic media outlets reported on it, and even the Citizen Daily, a government mouthpiece that has rarely been involved in such incidents, celebrated the event with a half-page newspaper, praising Tianwang Studios, Wang Shang and the director by name.

At this moment, even people who hate Wang Shang can't help but celebrate!!

Thousands of filmmakers are excited about it!.
