"Oh, it's not easy to finally vote for all the awards!" Lin Yuquan showed a smile on his face: "Thank you for your hard work, thank you for your support for my work, there is still a period of time before the award ceremony is held, and in the next time, don't forget the confidentiality agreement, if you accept media interviews during this period, you must not disclose the details of our vote today." ”

"That's for sure, rest assured." Zhang Yi said with a smile.

"Of course, I can't forget the non-disclosure agreement." "Naturally not." The others laughed and said.

"OK, thank you, I just ate some snacks to pad my stomach, now let's go to a big meal, believe me, the last meal of watching the film as a judge is definitely more rich than you imagined." Lin Yuqian said with a smile.

"Really? That's going to be a bit of a look. "Haha, let Yuquan say that, it seems that the lunch meal is very unusual!" Hearing this, the judges, who had been slightly tired after a morning of discussion, suddenly lifted their spirits.

And the fact is that although lunch was still eaten at the Tianlun Dynasty Hotel as in the previous days, the dishes were obviously more high-end and hearty.

"It's good to be a judge on the jury where Director Lin is the chairman of the judges, but you can't get such a good accommodation treatment when you are a judge in other places." Zhou Liming, who has been a judge of many film festivals, said with a smile.

"That's for sure, it's easy to go from thrift to luxury, it's hard to go from luxury to thrift, anyway, after experiencing such a time, if someone invites me to be a music judge in the future, my only requirement is to compare with Director Lin's treatment standards this time." Li Zongsheng said with a strong smile.

"Heh, your request is definitely going to scare a whole lot of music programs." Zhang Guoli teased.

"I'm scared, I'm scared, I just have more time to write songs." Li Zongsheng said casually.

"So it seems. It's not easy for us to invite Brother Li Zongsheng to the commendation conference this time! Lin Yuquan joked.

"It's just not easy for the average person. Director Huang called me at the beginning. Invited me to be a judge of the final evaluation of the commendation conference, thinking that the chairman of the final evaluation committee was Director Lin, I agreed without even thinking about it, after all, for me, the opportunity to get close to you with Director Lin may only be this time. Li Zongsheng exaggerated.

"How is this possible, I grew up listening to your songs, big brother, it's not easy for you to see me, it's definitely on call." Lin Yuquan said with a smile in his eyes. After eight days of getting along, although we can't talk about how close the relationship is, they are at least friends with each other.

In the midst of talking and laughing, a late lunch is also the last dinner of the judges to watch the film, which is undoubtedly quite pleasant.

After lunch, Lin Yuquan and Huang Jianxin, Li Shaohong, Zhang Guoli, Tian Zhuangzhuang, and Senior Lu had a small meeting to discuss the holding of the commendation conference, and then packed their luggage and returned to Ziyu Villa, but they did not stay at home for a long time. After that, he drove out.

"Yifei, I'm here. Where are you, okay, I see you. Seeing a slim figure in a white down jacket on the side of the street, Lin Yuquan suddenly showed a happy smile on his face, looked around, and didn't find any reporters squatting nearby, so he immediately drove over.

When he parked the car, Liu Yifei, who also looked happy, hurriedly pulled his luggage over, opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat.

"Brother Yuquan, you're finally back." Liu Yifei took off her sunglasses and smiled with satisfaction.

"yes, I'm finally back, it's only been a few days, and it feels like a long time." Lin Yuquan took the girl's hand and held it in his hand and said, before he and Yifei separated as soon as they returned to Kyoto, due to the closed viewing of films, they saw the relationship between more than ten o'clock in the evening every day, although they were in Kyoto, the two did not meet, but talked on the phone before going to bed at night.

"Well, me too, I've been staying at home for the past few days, because I'm bored, and I feel like time flies so slowly." Liu Yifei said quietly.

"Huh." Lin Yuquan smiled: "Who told you not to go out shopping?" ”

"You're busy, Sister Yanzi and Sister Dandan aren't in Kyoto, it's so boring for me to go out alone! And you have to dress up in disguise to avoid being recognized, which is particularly troublesome. Liu Yifei said.

"That's right, after the filming of "Immediate Rescue", when the time comes, we will go abroad to play, rest assured and bold shopping." Lin Yuquan smiled slightly.

"Okay!" Liu Yifei's expression suddenly became excited: "Brother Yuquan, how was the award selection in the morning, did you have any upsets?" ”

"I have signed a confidentiality agreement, I can't tell you now, I'll talk to you slowly after the awards ceremony." Lin Yuquan smiled: "Okay, let's go to the airport first, and talk slowly on the plane later." ”

After returning to Chengdu, the filming of "Immediate Rescue" naturally started again, and in addition to devoting himself to filming, Lin Yuquan's eyes inevitably fell on "Twilight", which will be released in North America this Friday.

Due to Warner Bros.' sudden decision this summer to postpone Harry. The release time of "Potter and the Half-Blood Prince", which was expected to encounter a huge challenge, undoubtedly ushered in an excellent schedule.

There are only two new films released in North America this week, including "Twilight," and the other new film released is Disney's "Harry. After Potter and the Half-Blood Prince was withdrawn, it was temporarily announced that the schedule would be advanced to "Star Dog", a 3D animated film starring John Dog. Travota, Miley. Cyrus, Chloe. Dubbed by Moretz and others, it will be released on a large scale in 3,672 theaters.

In addition, there is also a film released by Miramax, which was previously screened on a small scale, and this week, which added 328 theaters in one fell swoop, "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas" can barely be counted as a new release.

In addition, there are also large-scale releases of films including "Heartbeat", "007: Quantum of Solace", "Madagascar 2", "Model Cheap Brothers", and "Fatal Curve 3".

For "Twilight", the biggest competitors this week are undoubtedly "Star Dog" and "007: Quantum of Solace" in the second week of release, but fortunately, the genres are completely different, and there is no need to worry about their box office being affected too much.

And the most advantageous point is that "Twilight" is expected to fill the "Harry. Potter and the Half-Blood Prince moves to next summer, leaving a huge gap, knowing how many years have passed. At this time of year, blockbuster magic films land. If "Twilight" can successfully attract this part of the audience that loves magic movies. I believe that we can achieve very good results.

For the release of "Twilight", both Lin Yuquan and Summit Entertainment are extremely concerned, compared with ordinary movies, the biggest significance of the release of "Twilight" lies in whether Summit Entertainment can create another series of gold mines after "Wild Story" and "Fatal Bend".

In his attention, the time also slowly moved to November 21, and the first "Twilight" movie in the much-anticipated "Twilight" series was released on a large scale in 3,643 theaters in North America.

"Give me two tickets to the Twilight Zone." "Give me three tickets to the Twilight Zone." "Give me two tickets to the Twilight Zone."

It's a light-hearted weekend time that seems to have been lost in a long time. In North America, countless movie fans and audiences poured into the cinema, and in the 3,643 theaters where "Twilight" was released, the words "Twilight" sounded one after another. Pattinson's look is so handsome, they can't wait to see the handsome and handsome vampire Howard on the big screen, and then replace Isabella with themselves. Embark on a romantic vampire romance with Howard.

In addition to female book lovers, Kristen. Stewart's cinephile fans, as well as many male fans who simply love magic movies, are also looking forward to it. Christine on the poster. Stewart is amazing, and the action scenes in the trailers and TV commercials that have been released before Twilight are really great, and it's hard not to be full of anticipation.

"Oh, it's really good, it's very comfortable." "It's so handsome, that's the Howard in my heart." "Wow, the fight was amazing." "Damn it, be quiet." Compared with the production cost of $23 million for the first part of "Tales of the Night", the production cost of $60 million for "Twilight" will naturally not be in vain, better visuals, better music, better sets, and more sophisticated production are reflected in every link, which should provide the audience with better viewing enjoyment.

"Brother Yuquan, do you guess how much the box office of "Twilight" will be on the first day?" Early in the morning, Liu Yifei hugged Lin Yuquan's arm and said with a sigh of relief.

"I don't know, there should be good results!" Lin Yuquan smiled slightly, he has seen the finished film of "Twilight", although it is not a classic, but it is definitely an excellent commercial film, the influence of the original novel, the excellent quality itself, plus an excellent release schedule, a large release scale and intensive marketing promotion, under the combined force of this series of elements, if "Twilight" can't hand over a qualified result, then it's really hell.

In fact, in North America, media and box office experts generally expect the film to gross more than $50 million in its opening weekend, and "Twilight" is also doing quite well in online advance tickets, behind "Wild Story: Rise of the Apes", "Star Wars Prequel 3: Revenge of the Sith" and "Batman: The Dark Knight"

"How much should it be, can it reach $20 million?" Liu Yifei was not very satisfied with Lin Yuquan's answer and pursed her lips.

"Huh." Seeing the girl's expression, Lin Yuquan smiled dumbly, and lightly tapped his finger on Liu Yifei's lips: "Okay, don't be unhappy, you can hang the soy sauce bottle, I really don't know, won't you wait a little longer?" ”

"That's not because Brother Yuquan says this every time, and you don't want to answer positively every time." Liu Yifei complained.

"Isn't that inaccurate? If I guessed correctly, how could I not say! $20 million, I think it should be achievable. Lin Yuquan hurriedly smiled and comforted.

did not let Liu Yifei, who was full of expectations for this, wait for a long time, and Lin Yuquan soon received Chris in the interval between subsequent shooting. Anderson's phone.

"Boss, the uncorrected first-day box office is out, 38.87 million, and the box office on the opening day is second only to "Wild Ages: Rise of the Apes" and "Batman Begins 2: The Dark Knight" among the movies that have been released this year, and is higher than "Iron Man" and "Raiders of the Lost Ark 4". Chris. Anderson's words were filled with excitement.

"Oh, so tall." Lin Yuquan couldn't hide his surprise, although he knew that "Twilight" must be good at the box office. But I didn't expect it to be so high. I can only feel that the female fans of "Twilight" are too powerful.

"Yes. According to the current situation, it will definitely not be a problem for North America to break 100 million, and the next thing is to look at the performance overseas. "Chris. Anderson laughed.

"0K, it seems that as long as the reputation is not bad, our goal of building a series of gold mines can be announced in advance." Lin Yuquan said in a good mood.

"Yes, boss."

"In that case, a third sequel can be officially put on the agenda, Chris. You ask Kevin and them to find a director and screenwriter as soon as possible! ”

"Brother Yuquan, how much is the box office?" As soon as Lin Yuquan hung up the phone, Liu Yifei, who happened to be next to him, immediately asked.

"$38.87 million." Lin Yuquan smiled and spit out a number.

"Oh, so tall." Liu Yifei exclaimed.

Yes, it's that high, it's definitely enough to amaze countless people, ranking second among non-summer films, second only to "Harry. Potter and the Goblet of Fire", and ranked 14th in the ranking of premieres in all the history of film history, trampling countless blockbuster records under their feet.

And just as amazing is its reputation. "It's more exciting than I could have imagined, and it's not just appealing to fans of the original book. For other fans, the film's brilliance is just as amazing. "Chris is worthy of Chris, thanks to his comedy injection and super control, the film is full of fun." "It completely unleashes the potential of the actors, a great youth idol movie." "In terms of appeal to young people alone, this film may be the highest among all vampire movies in the past."

Although the word-of-mouth reviews are not good enough to exaggerate, the mainstream media have almost fully affirmed the commercial value of the film, with a 72% freshness on Rotten Tomatoes, a total media score of 69, and a Yahoo! score of B- is definitely ideal for a vampire romance movie that was originally aimed at business.

With such a high opening day box office and such a high reputation, the people who originally predicted the box office of "Twilight" did not know that their original prediction was too conservative, and then they were full of expectations for the box office of the film in the next two days.

Warner Bros., Paramount and other film companies beat their chests with regret, they previously thought that this low-budget film adaptation with a vampire love theme and almost no special effects was not interested, and now it seems that they missed a box office blockbuster, no, it should be a super gold mine, "Twilight" has three sequels, if they can all succeed, well, they don't dare, and they don't want to think about it, it will only prove how their original decision failed.

In a variety of emotions, in the busyness of Lin Yuquan, "Twilight" continued to harvest amazing box office on Saturdays and Sundays, so far, the week of November 17-23 has also come to an end, and the result is that the power of female audiences has become invincible. Movies such as "Wangdu" and "Mamma Mia" have achieved jaw-dropping box office results, and now they have once again sent "Twilight" to the championship, and the box office contributed far exceeded all expectations of 81.25 million US dollars.

Under the strong crushing of "Twilight", "007: Quantum of Solace" and "Star Dog", which were expected to be strong contenders for the North American weekend box office this week, only grossed $26.42 million and $26.27 million at the box office, which can be described as miserable.

It is important to know that "007: Quantum of Solace" is 2.5 times more expensive to produce than "Twilight", but looking at the current situation, its North American box office is not expected to be as high as "Twilight".

Disney is even more of a headache, they originally had high hopes for "Star Dog", so they arranged a super-large screening scale of 3672 theaters, how could it be such a result, if "Star Dog" has a bad reputation, the problem is that the reputation of "Star Dog" is generally very good.

But not too many people care about "007: Quantum of Solace" and "Star Dog", which have become losers, and even "Heartbeat", which has reached a cumulative global box office of $709 million, is overshadowed by the brilliance of "Twilight".

What is madness, this is madness, look at these statistics, 75% of the audience of "Twilight" are women, and 55% of them are under the age of 25, and the power shown by young female audiences has once again made Hollywood, the world look at it.

And the box office of $81.25 million also made "Twilight" easily beat "Van Helsing" and ranked first in the premiere results of "vampire movies" in film history, which is really gratifying.

At the same time, media and box office experts who have re-estimated the box office of "Twilight" have found that according to the current trend, as long as there is no big dive, the North American box office of "Twilight" is expected to reach $200 million.

What's even more terrifying is that after combining the box office of "Wild Story: Rise of the Ape Race", "Heartbeat", "Fatal Bend 2", and "Fatal Bend 3", Summit Entertainment's total box office in North America this year will almost certainly reach $1.2 billion, which has been ranked fifth last year.

And this year, according to the current box office situation of movies released by major film companies, except for Warner Bros. and Paramount, who can surpass Summit Entertainment, only Sony is likely to reach this number, and a number of companies, including Universal Pictures, Disney, and Fox, have been sure to be left behind by Summit Entertainment.

Naturally, some people at Summit Entertainment are just happy about this, but Lin Yuquan can't care about these anymore, because "Wild Story" is going to be a global public beta. (To be continued......)
