Jackson's contents, however, in Michael. After Jackson's death, they realized how innocent, kind, generous, and lonely the people they were desperately attacking, how they were hurt.
On June 26th, countless people are looking forward to Michael. Jackson's concert fans cried bitterly, they were too eager to see their idol, listen to his charming singing, and watch his handsome dance, but everything came to naught, and the man left them forever.
On June 26th. Michael. The name Jackson has never been seen so much, and today in the 21st century, young people are more familiar with Britney. Spears, Christina. Aguilera, Beyoncé, Justin. Timberlake, Ayumi Hamasaki, Jay Chou, Lin Junjie and other new generation stars. It was also on this day that countless people knew that in the world music scene, there was a man named Michael. Jackson's man, he is the king of pop music in the world, Elvis Presley and the Beatles are listed as the greatest immortal symbols in the history of pop music, he pioneered the modern MTV and pushed pop music to the top. His unique MJ style, which blends black rhythm and blues with white rock, has never been seen in a high-level music video, and his large-scale concerts have caused great sensations around the world.
Meanwhile. Countless people also know his incredible record, his original album sold 750 million copies worldwide, the highest number of singers in the world, far ahead of the Beatles (350 million) and Elvis Presley's (250 million). The most iconic album of his music career is "Thriller". This album has been the top of the American album chart for 37 consecutive weeks, and the global sales exceeded 104 million copies as early as 06, which is the world's best-selling album, and his 1993 American concert was watched by 130 million viewers that year, and he won a total of 13 Grammy Awards and 26 American Music Awards in his life. Imitated by countless celebrities, he was the first artist in music history to sell hundreds of millions of albums outside the United States. Named "the most successful artist in the history of the world" by Guinness.
Not only that, but people also know that outside of the music field, Michael. Jackson was also a social activist and philanthropist. He wrote and performed "WeAreTheWorld" with Lionel Rich for the South African famine, the single brought $50 million to the victims of the disaster, and he single-handedly supported 39 charitable relief foundations around the world, and donated a total of $300 million to charity in his lifetime, which was recognized by Guinness as the highest act of individual charitable giving.
How can anyone who knows him for the first time be deeply shocked, and then like and set their eyes on the United States.
And when it all came together, Michael. Jackson's death suddenly became the most high-profile event on the planet at this stage.
Under this incident, countless entertainment events that were full of eye-catching magic in the past suddenly became dull, such as "Transformers 2" The box office on Thursday was still quite amazing, and the weekend was even more gold-absorbing power, such as the Oscars once again announced that they would go under the knife for the Best Song Award and the Lifetime Achievement Award, such as Michael . Bei may direct the sci-fi film "I Am the Fourth" that is about to obtain the film adaptation rights for DreamWorks, such as Sony's "Smurfs" film version will be made into a 3D stereoscopic movie, such as "Flying House Travel" is confirmed to be introduced to Chinese mainland, which is expected to be released on August 4
Even Lin Yuquan's expectation and Yifei's pleasant vacation on Belle Island were inevitably affected, not that he and Yifei were Michael. Jackson is a die-hard fan, but the sudden death of such an epoch-making figure in the world entertainment field will naturally make them who also belong to the entertainment industry feel emotional.
And in such an atmosphere, when the time came to June 29th, the box office rankings of various countries and regions in the past week were released as scheduled, there is no doubt that "Transformers 2" has almost completed the global box office domination, North America, following the first day of 60.88 million US dollars, "Transformers 2" collected 105 million US dollars over the weekend, far exceeding "Wolverine", and ranked second at the box office of the year's opening weekend, second only to "Immediate Rescue", together with Wednesday and Thursday, In just five days, it recorded a box office of $201 million.
And the overseas market also has an excellent performance, winning $188 million at the box office in 58 international markets, thus cutting the global box office of $389 million in a single week, but it is far more than "Immediate Rescue", while becoming the best of the year, second only to the $392 million set by "Wild Wilds: Rise of the Apes" last year, of course, it seems that the gap is small, but you must know that "Wild Stories: Rise of the Apes" was done in three days, and "Transformers 2" was done in five days.
The reason why "Transformers 2" almost completed the global box office domination is because although "Transformers 2" got a terrifying 135 million single-week box office in Chinese mainland, "Immediate Rescue" got an even more terrifying 137 million in the third week of release, and the mainland box office accumulated 515 million.
Not only that, "Immediate Rescue" fully continued the previous Wednesday's confrontation with "Transformers 2", and performed well in various countries and regions around the world, and finally collected another $40.18 million at the North American box office in a single week, with a cumulative North American box office of $275 million, and another $102 million in international regions except North America, with a cumulative global box office of $758 million.
"Boss, according to the current box office trend and word-of-mouth evaluation, "Transformers 2" can no longer pose much threat to us, and the next opponents we need to collide with are "Public Enemy" and "Ice Age 3", no matter what, there is no obstacle for "Immediate Rescue" to break the $900 million mark at the global box office, and whether it can break the $1 billion mark depends on the box office performance of "Public Enemy" and "Ice Age 3". Ding Value's voice came from the phone.
"Yes, okay, you don't need to worry too much about the release of "Immediate Rescue", tell Xiao Ran and Ye Zetao that they will focus on cooperating with China Film to do a good job in the promotion and distribution of "The Expendables". Lin Yuquan smiled.
"Okay, boss." Ding Wei nodded and said: "It's a pity that "The Hangover" can't be released in China, otherwise it will definitely get very good box office results." ”
"Yes, damn the Film Bureau, at the two sessions next year, we must pass the film classification system." Lin Yuquan's heart was full of resentment, and after the editing of "The Hangover" was completed, it was delivered to him as soon as possible, even though it was full of. Urine. A vulgar comedy, but "The Hangover" is indeed a super funny movie that can make people laugh non-stop during the viewing process, and after watching it, "The Hangover" has also become the focus of Summit Entertainment's distribution this year with the same weight as "Spartan 300" and "Twilight: New Moon", and temporarily added $20 million to the publicity budget.
But such a movie that is highly regarded within Summit Entertainment and Dawning Movies is. Dan's failed to pass the censorship of the Film Bureau, the reason is that there are many vulgar plots in the movie, and a movie that could have earned at least tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars in the mainland has been ruined, how can it not be infuriating.
"Ha, I hope that can be realized." Ding Wei laughed and said, after chatting a few more words: "Boss, the preparations for "Twelve Treasures" have been basically completed, when do you think the production and filming will begin?" ”
Lin Yuquan suddenly smiled bitterly, he had just been on vacation for two days, and he was about to return to busy, the editing and post-production of "Immortals", the filming of "Twelve Treasures", and the preparation of "Wild Legends 2: Hundred Clans", well, he was busy for a long time in the future.
