Chapter 278: The End
Sure enough, under the influence of the strong impact of the release of new films and their own bad reputation, although "Pirates of the Caribbean 3: The End of the World", which was released in the second week, won the championship without suspense on the North American weekend box office list from June 1 to June 3, the decline of 62 was really shocking compared to last week, and although the box office performance of North America breaking $200 million in 9 days was second only to "Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Gathering Coffin" (8 days), "Spider-Man 2" (8 days), "Star Wars Prequel 3: Revenge of the Heath" (8 days), "Spider-Man 3" ( 9 days), ranked 5th in film history, but according to the current shape, it can be said that it exceeds the 423 million US dollars of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Gathering Souls", and it is also difficult to reach the 305 million North American box office of "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl".
At the same time, "Pirates of the Caribbean 3: The End of the World" is inevitably in a disadvantaged position in the competition for the third episode of the three super blockbuster series in the same period, although the box office decline of "Pirates of the Caribbean 3: The End of the World" in the second week was as high as 61.5, not much better than "Pirates of the Caribbean 3: The End of the World", but the box office difference in the opening weekend was as much as 40 million US dollars, but it invisibly gave "Spider-Man 3" an unbreakable advantage, according to the current shape, "Pirates of the Caribbean 3: The End of the World" If you want to turn the tables, there is almost no possibility.
Speaking of which, the situation of three super blockbusters released one after another in just one month this summer is undoubtedly a lose-lose situation, due to the impact of competition between them, they have failed to achieve their expected goals, and it can even be said that they are far from the expected goals, if the time can be staggered more, the super blockbusters of the third episode of these three series actually have a chance to hit the North American box office of 400 million US dollars, but now they have dropped a whole notch, and they can only go to 300 million US dollars, and the gap is not small.
Comparatively speaking, the situation of "Spider-Man 3" is the best, the so-called one blow, then decline, three and exhaustion, the first opening "Spider-Man 3" is naturally the first to take the lead, followed by "Shrek 3" persistent efforts, and finally "Pirates of the Caribbean 3: The End of the World" is solid, after all, it is inevitable that the aesthetic fatigue of blockbusters will be one after another, and the audience's enthusiasm for watching movies is always limited, not again and again.
Now "Pirates of the Caribbean 3: The End of the World" can only hope overseas, hoping to win back a city with Captain Jack's charisma and the super popularity of the second episode that broke $1 billion at the global box office.
"Shrek 3" and "Spider-Man 3" earned $26.7 million and $7.5 million respectively this week, ranking third and fifth in the box office list, respectively, and "Spider-Man 3", which has a cumulative box office of $318 million, has finally become the first film in North America to enter the $300 million club at the box office this year.
In second and fourth place are the large-scale new releases of "One Night" and "Mr. Brooks" in theaters this week, "One Night Belly" is really worthy of the team of "Forty Old Virgin", with 2871 theaters to achieve a box office of 29.28 million US dollars, which is really amazing, "Mr. Brooks" is much inferior, 2453 theaters only received 10 million US dollars at the box office, Sony MGM's prospects have to be worrying.
In sixth place is "Hostess", which has occupied this position for three consecutive weeks, after the theater expanded to 500, the box office of "Hostess" this week has also risen sharply, and the box office of $3.47 million really makes Summit Entertainment laugh from ear to ear, so that the cumulative North American box office of $12.1 million It has recovered its cost from the box office and began to make a profit, according to the assessment of peak entertainment market analysts, the box office of this film will reach at least $18 million, and there is a certain chance to hit $20 million.
After getting the news, Lin Yuquan smiled and didn't say anything, but the entire crew of "Hurricane Rescue" soon found that their boss seemed to be more and more motivated.
In the same period in China, due to the arrival of Children's Day, as a cartoon, "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" has naturally become the first choice for parents to take their children to watch the movie, with the help of the east wind of the June 1st schedule, after two consecutive weeks of catching up, this week's Shun lì achieved a reversal, driving "Spider-Man 3" off the championship, "Spider-Man 3" ranked second with a box office of 8.7 million this week.
The top five of this week's box office list are once again occupied by Hollywood films, and the third place is the newly released "Soul Chariot", which won 6.2 million box office in the first three days of its debut, if there is no accident, it will be at the top of the list next week, and the fourth and status are "Heart of the King" with 3.4 million and "Life and Death Sniper" with 2.5 million respectively.
Of course, it is impossible for the talented female director Xu Jinglei to be forgotten, after winning the box office of 500,000 again, Shun Lì broke through the 12 million mark, with a total of 12.36 million box office, if there is no accident, the final box office of 13 million does not have any problems.
Time passed day by day, and soon the week of June 4th-June 10th also came to an end, and "Soul Car", which was released in the second week of domestic release, really topped the box office list, achieving an excellent box office of 13.3 million, and without the blessing of the June 1st schedule, the box office of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" also fell sharply, and it ranked fourth in this week's box office list with 3.2 million, the third is "Spider-Man 3", which won the box office of 3.5 million, and the second is the new Hong Kong film "Serial Bureau" released this week , this suspense film directed by Luo Zhiliang and starring Liu Ruoying, Zhang Zhilin and Lin Jiaxin won a box office of 3.65 million.
The schedule of "Dreams Come True" has been further reduced and is about to go down, but with the support of fans, it won another 300,000 box office this week.
Under the impact of the star-studded "Ocean's Thirteen", "Pirates of the Caribbean 3: The End of the World" really did not hold the position of the champion, only got a box office of 21.31 million US dollars with a super high box office drop of 52, and sat in the second place in a dangerous position, behind it is "One Night Belly", which is only 1 million US dollars different from its box office.
"Ocean's Thirteen" premiered in 3,565 theaters for 3 days, with a good result of about $10,400 in a single theater, a total of $37 million, and the first two films of $38 million and $39 million, which is a good start, due to the other two new films, "Surfing Penguin" and "Human Skin Inn", which received $18 million and $8.75 million respectively, "Shrek" and other films have declined at the box office, and "The Hostess", which earned $2.1 million this week also fell two places to No. 8, but Lin Yuquan and Summit Entertainment have no regrets, and "The Hostess", which has a cumulative box office of $15.4 million, is getting closer and closer to the minimum of $18 million assessed by market analysts.
βcutγβ Brody. Jenner's voice rang out in the CBS studio.
After completing the filming of the location, the crew also returned to the studio again to reshoot the action scenes previously filmed here.
"Oh, what a fight!" Rock. A joyful smile appeared on Johnson's tired face.
"Ha, it's really enough for a man!" Lin Yuquan patted him on the shoulder with a smile.
"Of course." Dwayne "Rock" Johnson showed his white teeth, followed by a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth: "Ah, Lin, why are you shooting so hard." β
"Uh, oh no, I forgot you're not in the same physical condition as usual, sorry ha, Dawn." Lin Yuquan smiled, said with a very insincere smile, in the latter's eyes that wanted to cry without tears, he walked to the position of the monitor screen easily, and after looking at it carefully, he got up and clapped his palms, and said loudly: "OK, everyone can call it a day." β
"Hooray!" "Haha, call it a day!" The studio was immediately transformed into a sea of joy.
"Lin, let's go to the bar at night!" Watch the shooting of Fan on the side. Diesel came over and walked in front of Fan. Diesel said first.
"It's a bar again, it's not interesting." Lin Yuquan shook his head, he doesn't like to go to bars, he has been dragged to bars by several people several times during this time, nominally drinking, but these guys are obviously going to pick up girls! And two of them were broken by the paparazzi, the media love to catch the wind and catch the shadows, and such reports are also extremely easy to make people think, although he doesn't have a bar pickle girl, ** or anything, but human imagination is endless.
"Hey, Lin, how can a man not go to a bar?" Fan. Diesel laughed, and the others who followed him joined in.
"OK, can't I go to the bar?" In the end, Lin Yuquan said helplessly, and at the same time laughed in his heart, these guys wanted him to go, but the means came out, first dinner by Jason. Statham treated, and then by Fan. Diesel pays for the bar drinks, followed by the rocks. Johnson asked for supper, and bourgeois sugar-coated shells blasted at him in waves.
"Haha, that's right!" Fan. Diesel laughed.
Everyone went back to the hotel to take a shower and change clothes, and then went to a famous chicken restaurant in Los Angeles, which is said to be a traditional dish in the 50s, and there were many guests who came to visit it for 50 years.
"Hey, Lin, seriously, I'm very happy filming with you during this time, I haven't felt like this for a long time, I feel like I'm back to when I first started in the industry, not filming but filming, but engrossed in it." Rock. Johnson smiled, with a smile of remembrance on his face, over the years, he has completely become a tool for taking on the scene, filming seems to be just to make money, and there is no passion at all, until this time, the passion in his heart burns again.
"Indeed, I also feel this way, this is the happiest crew I have been with since I made the movie." Fan. Diesel followed.
"Thank you, I'm going to be embarrassed if you say that." Lin Yuquan and a few people touched the wine glasses separately and drank the remaining wine in the glasses: "Congratulations to Dawn, filming is to maintain the enthusiasm in your heart, if you don't even feel happy, then your performance will seem empty and soulless." β
"Well, that's right, but if I'm filming with others, I'm not as energetic as you, and I don't know if I can do it." Rock. Johnson smiled and shook his head.
"Sure enough, he is an excellent host, and this boasting ability is really comfortable to listen to." Lin Yuquan picked up the wine glass, took a sip of the wine newly poured by the bartender, and said with a smile: "Actually, I can give you a JianyΓ¬, you should learn from Jason and Mark, try to minimize the amount of plays you take, and instead take on those scenes you want to film, and cooperate with those people you want to work with, only in this way can you stimulate the greatest enthusiasm in your heart, and then you can shoot good works, in fact, what you lack now is not works, but good works that can fully show yourself." β
"OK, understood." Rock. Johnson nodded, and Lin Yuquan and Fan. Diesel touched the wine glasses, tilted his head slightly, and took a big sip of wine: "Hey, we're about to separate, I don't know when we can all drink together again." β
"Don't say it so sadly, as if we can't see each other again, you all know I live in Beverly Hills, and if I'm here, you're welcome to come to my house whenever you have time." Lin Yuquan had a smile in his eyes.
"That's also drinking with you alone, not together." Bruce. Wesley said that he didn't have and Fan. The three of Diesel stayed on the crew, but they came yesterday because they were going to shoot the studio scene.
"Who told you not to make your home in Los Angeles, otherwise it would be more convenient for everyone to gather." Lin Yuquan shook his head helplessly, in addition to him, only Schwarzenegger lives in Los Angeles, but as the governor of California, he is also the busiest of the people, and he can only squeeze out time to come to the set when filming his scenes, and it is difficult to meet him at other times.
"Living in Los Angeles is a good place for me to work, but my family has always lived in New York, and my friends and relatives are there, so it will definitely be difficult to move to Los Angeles." Fan. Diesel Road.
His words were echoed by several others.
"I understand that my parents are in the same situation." Lin Yuquan smiled.
"In fact, it is difficult for everyone to get together to drink, and it is easy to say that it is simple, as long as everyone cooperates together, it can naturally be done." Jason. The corners of Statham's mouth turned up slightly.
Rock. Johnson's eyes lit up and he smiled at him: "Yes, Lin, I must cooperate again if I have the opportunity, I estimate that I can only stimulate the greatest enthusiasm by cooperating with you now." β
"That's right, Lin, or let's all make a strong action movie together again, the kind that is more popular and enjoyable than "Hurricane Rescue"." Fan. Diesel nodded.
Lin Yuquan didn't immediately agree or anything, that was irresponsible, where is it so easy for everyone to work together in filming, and after thinking about it, he said: "Don't say it, I really have an idea now." β
"What thoughts?" Rock. Johnson immediately asked.
"Let's work together, but it's not me who directs, but Sylvester, my idea is this, in recent years, there are fewer and fewer truly pure action movies, and the box office is not as good as before, so I want Sylvester to make a few real action movies, one is to pay tribute to the action movies of the 1980s and 1990s, and the other is to tell everyone that veterans don't die, and traditional action movies won't just die out." Lin Yuquan said with a smile that the reason why he didn't direct himself, in addition to being not interested for the time being, the most important thing is that Stallone, who came from the 80s and the most glorious period of action movies in the 90s, is far more suitable as a director than him.
And this is just one of the ideas he just came up with, let Sylvester Stallone shoot a memorial version of the traditional hero action movie, and also gather a group of top young action actors, also according to the model of the series of movies, while creating an action movie that is more suitable for the viewing level of young people today, maybe it can also solve the problem of the shortage of action actors.
"Ah, that's great." Rock. Johnson excitedly.
Several others also seemed happy.
"Can you stop being so loud?" Seeing that many people's eyes were looking at a few people, Lin Yuquan looked at him helplessly.
"What are you afraid of, everyone saw it when we came in, and this is not something that cannot be seen or said." Rock. Johnson said casually.
There is really no way to take this guy, Lin Yuquan shook his head, and then everyone was drinking and chatting, while looking at the beauties in the bar, and from time to time, new people came to the bar to ask for autographs or conversations.
When the time passed through the week of June 11th to June 17th, this week's newly released "Fantastic Four 2" earned $57.4 million in 3,959 theaters, and undoubtedly became the North American weekend box office champion.
Staring at the monitor screen tightly, Lin Yuquan's expression was extremely focused, and suddenly the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, outlining a beautiful arc, and his right hand swung down violently, and then a voice that was much longer than usual sounded in the studio.
"CutThank you, thank you for your hard work, you did a great job!"
"Yay!" "Oh!" All the crew cheered, even the actors who had just finished their performances.
Lin Yuquan also took a deep breath, clenched his fists, and was slightly excited in his heart, but more satisfied, from the end of March to the end of June, a total of 83 days, his first Hollywood movie was finally successfully completed.
Looking at the cheering crowd, Lin Yuquan showed a smile on his face, got up and picked up the loudspeaker and said loudly: "83 days, time flies so fast, during which there are laughter, tiredness, pain, ng, sweat, hard work, persistence, too much, thank you for accompanying me through such unforgettable days, and then jointly completed an extremely wonderful film, I really worked hard for everyone here." β
"Bang bang." Everyone had happy smiles on their faces and applauded enthusiastically.
"Okay, I know everyone is tired now, so I won't talk about it, anyway, there is time to say it at night, now hurry up and call it a day, we won't get drunk at night, go, go!"
As soon as Lin Yuquan's words fell, he immediately received even warmer applause than before. R1152
