Chapter 273: Good News in Disappointment

When the first golden sunlight of the morning penetrated the glass on the window and sprinkled on his face, Lin Yuquan woke up with his eyes open, squinted his eyes and looked at the slightly dazzling light, and jumped up. Top Novel, www.

"Oh, that's crazy!" Thinking of the premiere of the telephone connection last night, the tsunami-like sound of the mountain on the other side of the phone, the corners of Lin Yuquan's mouth turned up slightly, and he glanced at the time, seven o'clock, it should be 10 o'clock in the evening in Kyoto now, the movie premiere has ended, I don't know how the audience at the premiere reacted, because he hadn't seen the movie in person, but he had heard Ding Wei say that the movie was good, and he couldn't accurately predict it, as soon as he got dressed, he dialed Xu Jinglei's phone.

The environment on the other side of the phone was a little noisy, but Xu Jinglei's brisk voice still reached Lin Yuquan's ears without the slightest hindrance: "Oh, Yuquan, are you up?" ”

Looks like you're in a good mood! A smile appeared on Lin Yuquan's face: "Well, just get up, call you as soon as you get up, it's interesting enough!" Why is your voice so loud over there, and where is it now? ”

"Oh, I'm eating with everyone, because of the premiere in the evening, everyone didn't have dinner in the afternoon, just ate some bread and biscuits and other things to cushion their stomachs, so after the movie premiere, we went to the hot pot restaurant together, the hot pot here is very delicious, especially the fat cow, which is very tender and refreshing." Xu Jinglei smiled and said, "Come, let's just get up and say hello to the hungry Director Lin."

As soon as Xu Jinglei's voice fell, a loud howl immediately came from the phone, and at this time, it was impossible to hear which star was among them, anyway, it sounded no different from ordinary people's howls in Lin Yuquan's ears.

This is the temptation of naked food, Lin Yuquan was extremely speechless. However, Xu Jinglei's little joke also made him completely relieved about the premiere: "Please, senior sister, can you not be so cruel." I just woke up and didn't eat breakfast! And early in the morning. You just tell me how to eat hot pot and fat beef, is this time and occasion appropriate? ”

"Ha, that's what I know, that's why it's good to say that." Xu Jinglei smiled: "Okay, I won't tease you, you must be concerned about the premiere of the movie when you call, judging from the audience's reaction in the theater, it is not bad, if you are at the box office." I won't know until noon tomorrow, which is tonight on your side. ”

Xu Jinglei's mood is of course good, although the box office has not yet come out, but for a literary film, the audience's good response is far more than the popularity of the box office to give the director a sense of achievement, judging from the premiere just now, the audience's love for "Dream into Reality" is obviously much higher than her previous "Me and Dad" and "Letter from a Strange Woman", and the wait of more than two years is really worth it.

Of course, it would be better if the box office could be excellent, after all, it is a movie with an investment of 6 million. If the box office is bad, the cost cannot be recovered. She was a little sorry for Lin Yuquan's trust in her.

"Really? You hand over the phone to Brother Hao, why do I always feel that my words are not so credible! Lin Yuquan said with a smile in his eyes.

Xu Jinglei suddenly had a black line.

After chatting with Xu Jinglei on the phone, as usual, I practiced boxing, washed up, had breakfast, and then went to the studio.

"Boss, morning!" "Morning!"

Knowing the good premiere of "Dreams into Reality", Lin Yuquan was in a good mood, and greeted everyone happily all the way, the studio was already full of busy crews, pushing the field affairs of photographic equipment and props, the lighting engineer who adjusted the lighting, and the set team that set up the scene, although everyone was busy, but it was not the kind of special hard work, but everyone was full of smiles on their faces, and they enjoyed their work very much. And on this day when "Spider-Man 3" officially landed in North American theaters, the superhero Spider-Man naturally became a hot topic in everyone's chat.

The actors came to the studio one after another, including the protagonist of today's filming, Stallone.

"Hey, Sylvester, I've finally waited until you're here." Lin Yuquan warmly hugged Sylvester Stallone.

"Ha, Lin, I've been waiting for a long time, in fact, I have long wanted to come to the crew, but I am busy preparing for the fourth episode of the "First Blood" series, and I really can't spare much time." Stallone apologized.

"Sylvester, I know that as a sequel to a classic action movie launched after nearly two decades, it is natural to go all out to make it well, otherwise I will be sorry for the expectations of fans." Lin Yuquan smiled.

When the two were chatting, they didn't shoot the watch today, and there were two more people who came to visit. Diesel, Rock Johnson's influence, Jason. Statham and Duff, who only filmed his own scene yesterday. Lange stayed, ready to watch Lin Yuquan shoot all the action scenes.

Lin Yuquan greeted several people with a smile, affected by each other's filming, except for Du Fu, who had just finished filming. Lang Ge, the other three were really dissatisfied with the scenes they had filmed before, and began to ask him to reshoot them again, promising that they would definitely shoot better.

Of course, this is what he would like to see, but he didn't agree immediately, but planned to let them hold back for a while so that the best effect could be achieved, as for doing so, it would delay the shooting, but it was not in his consideration, it only took an extra week to improve the fighting effect of the film, what reason did he not do?

"Hey, "Spider-Man 3" will be released today, this is a super blockbuster." Looking at the crew members who were busy preparing for filming next to him, Dwayne Johnson hugged his hands and smacked his lips.

"yes, Lin, how much do you think it grossed at the opening weekend, I bet it must be a terrifying number." Fan. Diesel laughed.

"Nonsense, everyone knows that the box office of "Spider-Man 3" is bound to be very high, so you can't say a more specific number or box office trend judgment." Jason. Statham gave him a blank look, then turned his head to look at Lin Yuquan: "Lin, how many do you think there will be?" ”

"This is already the third part of "Spider-Man", and the first two films have accumulated a lot of Spider-Man fans, plus there are hundreds more theaters than the first two films, as long as there are no accidents. I want to have at least 1.3 at the opening weekend box office. Not $140 million. As for the follow-up box office, it depends on the reputation of the movie, in fact, as long as the quality of the film is not too poor, it should not be a problem for the global box office to surpass the first two. Because of the concern about "Spider-Man 3", Lin Yuquan has actually thought about this aspect for a long time.

"Yo, Lin, your opinion is similar to mine, and I think so too." Dwayne "Rock" Johnson laughed.

Shameless, Stallone, Fan. Diesel, Jason. Statham, Duff. Lang Geqi glanced at him with disdain.

Dwayne Johnson didn't care, and said: "The North American box office broke 100 million dollars in the first three days." It's really scary, and the highest-grossing action movie in North America starring myself doesn't have that much overall box office. ”

Although he has produced several action films every year in recent years, the highest-grossing film in North America was "The Scorpion King" a few years ago, which earned $91 million.

"Who says it's not, the action movie I starred in has just broken 100 million at the North American box office, and it can barely compare with others in the first week." Fan. Diesel shrugged his shoulders, among the movies he starred in, the highest grossing in North America were "Extreme Agent" and "Fast and Furious", with 142 million and 144.5 million respectively, ranking among the top 20 box office in North America, but the latter is a racing movie. is not an action movie in the pure sense, and the comedy movie "Brave Daddy" released the year before last also broke 100 million at the box office. It also ranked in the top 20 of the year, with a box office of $113 million.

Dwayne "Rock" Johnson glared at Fan fiercely. Diesel glanced at it, although this guy has not many films, the box office is much higher than him, and there have been several North American box office breaks 100 million.

"Mine has just broken 100 million." Jason. Statham smiled, "Very Human Trafficker" is his masterpiece, but it is not his highest box office in North America, he is currently the highest box office in North America, and the only box office that breaks 100 million is "Stealing the Day" in 03, with a box office of $106 million, ranking 23rd in the annual box office list.

"Hey, it's getting harder and harder for action movies to break 100 million at the North American box office, and most of the ones that can break 100 million are not pure action movies." Stallone said with a sigh that he is the person who has the deepest understanding of this, because he came from the most glorious era of action movies, as early as 1976, the North American box office of "Rocky" at that time exceeded 100 million, and the global box office exceeded 200 million, and the North American box office of "Rocky 6" was only 70 million US dollars, even if it was only 148 million US dollars worldwide.

"That's right, the action movies that are selling well today are similar to "Mission Impossible" and "Spy Shadows", but is that also an action movie? Hopefully, Lin's "Hurricane Rescue" will do well at the box office and let those people know what a real action movie is. "Duff. Lange Dao.

"That's for sure, Lin's movie is bound to be a big hit, I think the global box office is at least 300 million!" Rock. Johnson said with a laugh.

"300 million, you're too unconfident, if you want me to say, if you don't talk about it, you will get 4 or 500 million." Fan. Diesel gave him a disdainful look.

Lin Yuquan smiled: "Okay, let's not talk about this, how can you not watch such a blockbuster movie as "Spider-Man 3"?" When are you going to go to the cinema? ”

"It depends, I don't know when I'm going." Stallone said casually.

"I have the idea to go and see it tonight, how about it, do you want to go together." Rock. Johnson smiled and looked at the group.

"Tonight, Lin, when are you going to see it?" Fan. Diesel looked at Lin Yuquan.

"I think Dawn's mention is good, otherwise, I will charter the venue tonight, and our whole crew will watch it together." Lin Yuquan said.

"This is okay, I approve of it."

"I think it's good, too."

"Tonight, then! Everyone watched it together, and it felt even better. ”

"Okay, that's it." Seeing that everyone nodded in agreement, Lin Yuquan clapped his hands and said loudly, so that his voice could be heard clearly by everyone in the studio: "Hey, guys, stop what you're doing first, listen to me, there must be no one among us who doesn't know that today is the day of the release of "Spider-Man 3", who wants to watch this movie?" Raise your hand for me to see. ”

In an instant, one hand was raised high, and a few people also showed hesitation.

"Okay, it seems that everyone, like me, is eager to see this high-profile super blockbuster for the first time, here, I have an idea, after finishing work in the afternoon, we will charter the venue and go to the movies together, and the friends who want to go will raise their hands." Lin Yuquan looked at everyone with a smile.

It's pretty much the same as it was before.

"Okay, if you want to watch a movie. Everyone should hurry up and work. When will the filming of today's scheduled scenes be completed. We're going to call it a day and eat and go to the cinema, now, go, go. Lin Yuquan said excitedly and clapped his hands vigorously.

The effect of the encouragement is indeed extraordinary, in order to achieve the desired goal of finishing work early to watch "Spider-Man 3", everyone exploded with 200% enthusiasm, and completed the filming of all scenes at 5 pm. Then, as Lin Yuquan said, he first finished dinner quickly, and then went to the movie theater that was chartered.

As the Friday of the first week of May, today is also the day when the 07 summer season officially kicks off.

In the weeks ahead, Paramount's thriller, the $20 million "Rear Cry," topped the North American box office for the third time in a row, accumulating $52.18 million in three weeks, and in the past week, the winning film grossed $9.1 million over the weekend, and the same is true for the champion film. Other movies can be imagined, just released Nicholas. Cage's new film. The $80 million blockbuster "Foreseeing the Future" suffered a fiasco, with a box office of only $7.2 million in its opening weekend, and the word-of-mouth was even worse, "a bland setting, but a non-losing performance, a mediocre example of Hollywood action movies", "successfully attracting the audience to forget the disorganized theme of jì, and satisfying people's appetites with a uniform and smooth story, but in the end it made everyone's love fall with a funny ending", "It's the same as last year's "Poseidon", Watch or not watch indiscriminate entertainment films".

The box office has been sluggish for several weeks, as the first wave of high * tide that kicked off the summer file, everyone's eyes are focused on the new films released this week, there are a total of 12 new films released this week, of which there are two large-scale openings, one of which is the literary sketch "Lucky Gambler" that has been postponed since October last year, the director of the film is the winner of the best adapted screenplay. Hansen, the lead actor is Russell. Crow, Hugh. Jackman, Heath. After Ledger, another Australian imported actor who rode the updraft, Eric. Banner and the famous Spielberg goddaughter Drew. Barrymore, released in 2,525 theaters, it is a sniper sent by Warner Bros. to ensure that "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" enters the top three in the summer file, and is deliberately sent to "Spider-Man 3".

The other is of course "Spider-Man 3", which is said to be the most expensive in history, this $258 million superhero blockbuster will be released in 4,252 theaters in North America, and Sony has high hopes to catch up with the 135 million of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Gathering Souls" and the 114 million of "Superman Returns" to create a new opening weekend box office figure, as for the result, everyone is waiting to see what the result will be, and even if "Spider-Man 3" does not set a zΓ o record, No one would doubt that it must be surprisingly high at the box office.

Because of the release of such a film, the major movie theaters have also changed the desertion of more than two months before, countless Spider-Man fans are full of enthusiasm for watching the movie, and have gone to the cinema in pairs, ready to watch the Spider-Man who leaps and shuttles in the high-rise buildings of the city, for a while, almost all movie theaters have a hard to find a ticket, and the tickets for the first night are often sold out as soon as they are on the counter, and the fans who did not grab the tickets simply sit in the ticket hall, waiting for the next second and third shows in high spirits, and even midnight shows.

This is the case of the cinema chartered by Lin Yuquan and others, the huge ticket hall is crowded with people queuing up to buy tickets and waiting to enter, among them, from teenagers and girls to middle-aged people in their forties, some are chatting on the phone, some are snuggling together, watching quietly, and some are chatting together and chatting enthusiastically.

"Yo, so many people, Lin, how did you get there." Rock Johnson said to Lin Yuquan strangely, he was startled by the scene in front of him when he first entered the hall, and there was indescribable envy in his eyes as he spoke.

"How do I know that Andy is in charge of calling and chartering the venue, I actually want to know it too." Lin Yuquan spread his hands and said innocently, looking at these surging crowds waiting to buy tickets, with a strong emotion on his face: "There are really a lot of people, if the more than 4,000 movie theaters where "Spider-Man 3" was released are all like this, it will be terrible, even if it is only 8 percent, it is enough for it to catch up with the box office record of the premiere of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" last year." ”

Previously, when "Red Cliff" was released in North America, he and Yifei went to the cinema to watch the movie, and at that time he was very satisfied with the popularity of "Red Cliff" in North America, but now compared with the premiere of "Spider-Man 3", it is too far behind.

However, Lin Yuquan did not have any discouragement or envy for this, under the agitation in his heart, he only had a strong determination, sooner or later, "Hurricane Rescue", "Wild Story: The Rise of the Ape Race" One day, I can also do this, or even do better.

"It doesn't matter if it breaks the record or not, it has nothing to do with us anyway, as long as the movie is good." Rock Johnson doesn't care.

"That's right, the important thing is that the movie is good, don't continue to mink, it will be too disappointing." Lin Yuquan smiled, he himself is still looking forward to this one, judging from the trailer, the wonderful Cheng dΓΉ of the film has been upgraded compared to the previous episode.

However, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

The auditorium was a little dark, only the big screen shone brightly.

"Damn." Dwayne "Rock" Johnson looked at the big screen in annoyance, and couldn't help but burst into a foul language.

Lin Yuquan, who was sitting next to him and also staring at the big screen, shook his head in disappointment, although his movements were not rude.

"Sure enough, it's a god trailer, except for the highlights in the trailer, the film has no highlights." Lin Yuquan is indeed a little disappointed, if you look at the visual effects, this film is really worthy of the investment of 250 million, but it is difficult to be satisfactory in other aspects. Comrade Remy is ambitious this time, trying to give each character a complex two-sidedness, but there are too many characters on the stage, the story line is complicated and messy, and the little ruffian shows the dark side of the characters' hearts, and there is no lack of suspicion of avoiding the important and trivial, and the bloody love affair between the hero and heroine drags on, which not only reduces the favorability of the two characters, but also affects the rhythm of the story. may be a little harsh to describe as a bad movie, but there is no doubt that it is not as good as "Spider-Man 2".

Not only the two of them, but other people were in a similar situation to them, until the end of the film, there was very little applause during the period, anyway, Lin Yuquan never clapped once.

Compared with the excitement when they came, everyone left the cinema and was in high spirits, or the same sentence, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

But it's not without good news, Lin Yuquan is driving back to the top of Beverly Mountain (to be continued...... R527
