Aside from North America, the highest-grossing region of "The Expendables" is naturally Chinese mainland.

Compared with North America, domestic movie fans and audiences are still in a state of crazy star-chasing and blindly following the trend, coupled with the information blockage across the ocean, Stallone, Schwarzenegger, Jason, who are almost out of fashion in North America. Statham, Bruce. Willis, Jet Li and others, but they are still regarded as well-deserved action superstars in China, in this context, there is a bright and dazzling star lineup, with Jet Li's influence in the local area, and even Lin Yuquan, who stands behind the film, plays an invisible role, and finally "The Expendables" detonated the film market without any suspense, following the first day, Saturday and Sunday made further efforts, and the first three days hit the box office of 78.82 million in one fell swoop. Transformers 2, Harry. Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.

According to the current box office situation and the word-of-mouth evaluation of media audiences, the originally expected box office of 150 million will be destroyed this week, and 200 million seems to be just a base, and "The Expendables" is entirely likely to hit the 300 million level.

Not only that, but in other countries and regions, "The Expendables" also has a good performance, although it is far from being as popular as in China, and there is a huge gap between the local level of super blockbusters, but it is enough for "The Expendables" to be satisfied, and finally, together with China, "The Expendables" received $38.82 million at the first-week box office in the 32 international markets where it was first released.

Overall. "The Expendables" swept a total of $80.59 million at the box office in its first week of release, and with good word-of-mouth reviews, the box office prospects are very good. It is expected to recover production costs and publicity expenses at the box office level, and then rely on the DVD market and TV network on-demand to achieve a lot of revenue with its strong influence.

The box office of "The Expendables" was pleasantly surprised, and the box office of "The Hangover" was equally surprising, first of all, in the North American market, "The Hangover" was not afraid of new films such as "The Expendables", "District 9", and "Ace Salesman", and the box office fell by 33.78%, collecting another $18.99 million. The cumulative box office in the first four weeks of release was $202 million, easily surpassing the $176 million of "I'm Crazy for Mary" and only one step away from the previous $208 million "Wedding Ace". And breaking the 25-year-old $234 million R-rated comedy record for "Beverly Hills" is already a sure thing.

At the same time, the global box office of "The Hangover" has also accumulated $333 million, surpassing "American Pie 2" and "Beverly Hills Super Detective" in front of the list. Only "I'm Crazy for Mary" is left in the way of conquering the history of R-rated comedy. What is clear is that the $370 million for "I'm Crazy for Mary" is definitely not an insurmountable obstacle.

What is amazing, and that is that even though The Hangover has delivered incredible performances every week before this, people are still amazed when The Hangover performs amazing again.

Such a box office decline has been compared with the previous "Star Trek", but you must know that the production cost of "Star Trek" is $150 million, but "The Hangover" is only $43 million. To date, the cumulative box office of "Star Trek" is only $259 million at the North American box office. With a global box office of $391 million, according to the current box office trend, "The Hangover" has every chance to surpass, and when it comes to ROI, "The Hangover" simply beats "Star Trek", of course, not to mention "Star Trek", the typical low-cost high-grossing "The Hangover" has become one of the most profitable movies of the year.

At the same time, just when the box office rankings of various countries and regions were released, the "New York Times" also announced the latest issue (August 10-August 16) bestseller list. Defeat tops the hardcover bestseller list of hardcover fiction and non-fiction bestsellers, respectively.

Among them, in terms of the bestseller list of hardcover novels, "The Host" occupies the top spot, and naturally there is no suspense. Mel's influence is there, not to mention that the reputation of "The Host" is quite good, after the first day, it continues to sell well, and it is difficult not to win the championship without encountering strong new books from super first-line best-selling authors in the same period.

In second place is none other than "The Hunger Games", driven by high word-of-mouth and exposure, "The Hunger Games" has strong stamina and is favored by many readers.

In third place is Steg. Rahsson's "The Girl Who Played with Fire", the third week of the market, Swedish writer Stiger. Rakhsson is arguably one of the most successful writers in Europe, and his "Millennium Trilogy" series of novels has long been on the bestseller lists in European countries and has great influence, including the first book "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" has been on the New York Times bestseller list for 128 weeks, in Sweden with only 9 million people, with a whopping 3 million copies sold, in Denmark it once sold more than the Bible, in France, you can find one in every four cars, and "The Girl Who Played with Fire" is the second in the series.

In fourth place is Daniel Brown, the world's premier international conspiracy theorist. Silva's new book "The Betrayer" in the second week of its release was followed by "Beautiful Creatures" and "Edgar's Story" in fifth and sixth place.

In this way, Little Bear Press has achieved the feat of being on the New York Times bestseller list with four novels at the same time, and it is very high.

In this regard, even as expected, the Little Bear Publishing House is still very excited, and Summit Entertainment is also excited, the hot sales of the four novels are obviously conducive to the adaptation of the movie, among which "The Hunger Games" and "Beautiful Life" have been clearly put on the big screen, just wait for the novel to reach a certain influence in the world, it will start filming immediately, at present, Summit Entertainment has looked for a screenwriter to create a script.

As for "The Host" and "The Story of Edgar", they are still under discussion due to the difficulty of adapting the two novels.

Still at the same time, the first broadcast of Liu Huan's mentor assessment battle suddenly jumped to 6.07% on the basis of the rating of 5.13% in the fifth episode, and continued to write his own myth.

For Lin Yuquan, this series of news is naturally particularly pleasant, but whether it is the box office sales of "The Expendables" and "The Hangover", or the best-selling sales of "The Host", "The Hunger Games", "Beautiful Creatures", "Edgar's Story", or the new high ratings of "The Voice of China", it is not the most happy for him, and what makes him happiest is that the filming of "Twelve Treasures" has finally entered the closing stage.

"Hey, Christina, thank you for your hard work, you're not tired of flying so far to Turkey!" Seeing Christina. Aguilera walked over, Lin Yuquan greeted her with a smile on his face, hugged her, and felt the fleshy feeling between the touch of his fingers, and couldn't help teasing: "I haven't seen you for a while, and my body has become a lot plump!" ”

"Ahem, Lin, don't you think it's rude to say that to a woman?" Christina. Aguilera didn't have a good airway.

"I don't think you like the feeling of plumpness, don't you? Otherwise, how could I not lose weight. Lin Yuquan shrugged and smiled.

"Ahem, I think as long as the body is comfortable, everything else doesn't matter, there's nothing wrong with being plump, but the problem is that you don't think so, don't you Oriental people like sexy and hot bodies? So you're obviously saying I'm fat. "Christina. Aguilera had a discerning look on her face.

"How is that possible? But you do look better when you're thinner. Lin Yuquan smiled: "Okay, don't talk about it yet, let's get in the car and talk, there are many people watching, it's not good to be recognized." ”

The two quickly got into the car and chatted about the current situation.

"Christina, are you busy next year?" Lin Yuquan said suddenly.

"What, do you want me to make a movie? If yes, there must be time. "Christina. Aguilera laughed.

"Ha, no, I'm going to do a music talent show in the United States, I've got the name in mind, how about it, are you interested in being a mentor?" Lin Yuquan said with a smile.

"What's the name?" Christina. Aguilera's eyes twinkled with curiosity.
