Like other films directed by Lin Yuquan before, after the completion of "The Immortal", the crew held a warm finale dinner.

"Next, I would like to invite Director Lin to speak." As the words of Zhang Haishan, who served as the assistant director, fell, the banquet hall immediately resounded with a tidal wave of applause and cheers.

Lin Yuquan got up with a smile on his face, and waited until everyone's applause and cheers stopped, and then he spoke: "Time flies so fast, more than two months have passed since the movie started in a blink of an eye, here, thank you for your hard work and efforts in the past two months, and therefore, we can gather here at this moment." ”

There was applause again in the banquet hall, and Lin Yuquan pressed down with his hands: "There are people here who are working with me for the first time, and some people have been working with me since "Huo Yuanjia", the cooperation time is not important, the important thing is that we have completed a very good work, it will win the love of many people, and harvest a lot of box office, just like "Immediate Rescue" is doing." ”

"Haha!" Everyone laughed, this is naturally what everyone wants, and according to Lin Yuquan's past directing records, this is indeed a very possible thing.

Lin Yuquan smiled slightly: "In short, I am very satisfied with the cooperation with each of you, to say that there is only one regret, in fact, I very much hope to shoot the first 3D Chinese movie after the first IMAX Chinese movie, but now it is about to be stolen by Xu Ke's "Dragon Gate Flying Armor", fortunately, "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" is my own movie, or it will be even more regrettable." ”

Everyone chuckled again, and Lin Yuquan continued: "So you should guess what I want to say. Guys, maybe a year later, two years at the latest. I hope to work with you again, and it will be a super big production, a big production beyond your imagination, don't ask me how big it is, because I don't know either, all I can say is that we will break the investment record for Chinese films again. ”

The banquet hall suddenly burst into fierce applause and cheers. and the screaming whistles that come in between.

After the filming of "The Immortal" ended, the crew was disbanded, and Lin Yuquan and Liu Yifei were temporarily separated. Lin Yuquan returned to Rongcheng to accompany Lin's father and mother, and Liu Yifei returned to Kyoto to accompany Aunt Liu, and then went to Belle Island for a vacation, and the property rights transfer procedures on Belle Island had already been completed. And that's not all. Considering that after all, someone else has lived there, and it has been specially rearranged.

And when Lin Yuquan went home to accompany Lin's father and mother, "Transformers 2" was officially released worldwide, and the most severe test since the release of "Immediate Rescue" also came, and everyone was in the spotlight for a while.

No one doubts the box office power of "Transformers 2", but no one can accurately predict how powerful it is, and when the time comes to June 25, the answer is finally revealed.

North America: "Transformers 2" completely shattered the box office record for its Wednesday premiere in North American film history. The single-day collection was $60.88 million, which was higher than the staggering figure of $55 million, which was previously predicted by the outside world. Far more than Harry. Potter and the Order of the Phoenix set a Wednesday record of $44.2 million in 2007. Not only that, but looking at all the movies released in North America, the single-day box office of "Transformers 2" is also second only to "Wild Days: Rise of the Apes" and "The Dark Knight", given that the latter two are released on weekends, it has to be said that the opening day box office of "Transformers 2" is crazy.

Chinese mainland: As a sequel film that swept the box office of 291 million yuan and ranked second in the annual box office in the mainland, following "Immediate Rescue", "Transformers 2" once again set off a movie-watching frenzy this summer, receiving 28.32 million on the first day, almost breaking the first day box office of "Immediate Rescue", you must know that this is Wednesday, and in the case of such a strong opponent as "Immediate Rescue", it can be described as extremely fierce.

South Korea: On the basis of the 310,000 moviegoers recorded on the premiere day of the previous film, "Transformers 2" not only went to the next level to exceed 500,000 people, breaking the record for the number of moviegoers at the premiere of "Monster of the Han River", becoming the highest-grossing film in Korean film history in a single day

Hong Kong: With the good reputation of the previous work and a stronger publicity offensive, "Transformers 2" was popular in Hong Kong before it was released, and the 1MAX theater with the most ideal ticket sales even rarely opened a midnight show during the release, and finally collected 3.88 million Hong Kong dollars in one fell swoop, together with the midnight show, the box office on the first day was nearly 4 million, and it won the single-day box office championship without any suspense

Looking at the box office situation of "Transformers 2" in various parts of the report, Lin Yuquan smiled slightly, he was not surprised by the amazing box office of "Transformers" in various countries and regions, for the series of movies, the success of the previous work is enough to lay a solid foundation for the sequel, you must know that "Transformers" North American box office is 319 million US dollars, global box office 709 million US dollars, this box office fully shows how amazing the number of potential fans of the "Transformers" series is.

Looking back at the box office results of "Transformers" at the beginning of its release in 07, it was far from brilliant, relying entirely on good word-of-mouth to climb all the way, and finally ranked fourth at the annual North American box office and sixth at the global box office of the year.

Therefore, under the dual effect of word-of-mouth and publicity offensive of the previous work, it is natural for "Transformers 2" to present a box office explosion as soon as it is released.

Of course, this is by no means the reason why he feels in a good mood, and no one will be happy because of the good results of his competitors, one is because even in the face of the strong release of "Transformers 2", "Immediate Rescue" still maintains ideal box office results, and the other is that the word-of-mouth reviews of "Transformers 2" have regressed greatly compared with the previous work, which means that although "Transformers 2" will have an amazing number of opening box office, the box office momentum is worrying, for "Immediate Rescue", which is in direct competition with "Transformers 2" This is obviously good news.

"Boss, the Oscars just announced on the official website that the number of nominations for the Oscars for Best Picture will increase from 5 to 10 starting from the 82nd Oscars next year, indicating that this is the performance of the Oscars returning to the source after more than 60 years."

Received Chris. When Anderson called, Lin Yuquan first felt stunned, and then felt that the Oscar rule change is also quite good, which will increase the probability of many long-awaited commercial films being nominated for the Oscar for Best Picture, and the failure of "The Dark Knight" and "Robot Wall-E" last year caused many fans to complain, and the chances of such films being shortlisted for Best Picture in the future will undoubtedly increase.

"It seems that our "Immediate Rescue" nomination has a little more hope." A smile appeared at the corner of Lin Yuquan's mouth.

"Yes boss, with ten nominations, there will inevitably be a place for commercial films, and looking at the commercial films released this year, there are few that can be compared with our "Immediate Rescue". Chris. Anderson is also in a good mood: "By the way, boss, according to the Hollywood Reporter, David Fincher will direct a film that tells the story of Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of the famous social network "Facebook". ”

"Really? Mark is really good enough to be adapted into a movie, which is a treatment that even the founder of Google has not yet enjoyed. Lin Yuquan said with a smile.

"Actually, what I want to say more is that the boss, you may also appear in the movie." Chris. Anderson Road.

"If it appears, it will appear, anyway, even if it appears, my role is destined to be only a small role with a bento, and it would be nice if the actor who played me could say a few lines in the movie." Lin Yuquan smiled.

Whether it was the Oscar rule change or the story of Mark Zuckerberg would be made into a movie, Lin Yuquan didn't care much, and just when "Transformers 2" continued to wreak havoc on the global box office market, a whirlwind of news spread around the world, and suddenly, the world was enveloped in an atmosphere of shock and sadness.
