When the time entered July 21, the much-anticipated Wei Ling Century Wedding finally kicked off, and a couple, both parents, groomsmen and bridesmaids, makeup artists, hosts, hotel staff, media reporters, and police officers fell into a busy state early.

From the beginning of the planned wedding, the two, to be precise, Liu Jialing and the media reporters fought wits and courage, and kept silent about the time and place of the wedding, and all kinds of speculations and rumors spread for half a year before the dust settled, and the exact news was not announced to the public until a week before the wedding, which caught the media reporters off guard.

In order to ensure order at the wedding scene and prevent reporters from slipping in, the Kingdom of Bhutan dispatched 90 policemen and 20 bodyguards hired to Hong Kong to set up barbed wire around the Ummaparo Hotel.

The wedding starts at 9 a.m., so the guests arrive early to set up a large white tent in the outdoor area next to the hotel, and the wedding will be held in the tent, which is a local custom in Bhutan.

"It is said that even the king of Bhutan will attend the wedding later, Wei Ling's face is not small!" Xu Ke had a smile in his eyes.

"It's not small." Lin Yuquan smiled slightly, just like Xu Ke, he didn't break it, some things are well known, needless to say, this time Liang Chaowei and Liu Jialing held a wedding in Bhutan, the Bhutanese royal family provided the palace to take wedding photos, and personally dressed the two, took out the dress they wore for their marriage and the wedding dress prepared for their two-year-old daughter to marry in the future, and asked the police and bodyguards to maintain order, and attended the wedding in person. It's a great treat. Although the external rhetoric is "The king and his wife think that they are very close to Jialing and Wei Zai." The two of them chose to get married in Bhutan, so they hope to give the couple the most blessings."

Bhutanese hopes to use the high-profile wedding of the two to increase Bhutan's popularity, exposure, and promote the local tourism industry, while Wei Ling saves a lot of money while earning enough eyeballs.

"If Lin Dao you get married in the future, it will be a real grand occasion unprecedented. It is the wedding of the century. Xu Kexiao said that in his opinion, although Liang Chaowei and Liu Jialing are well-known enough, but the level is not enough, the previous wedding of the century between Xu Jinheng and He Chaoqiong is far more luxurious than Wei Ling's, and the rich and famous gather.

Lin Yuquan just shook his head, of course his future wedding will be more sensational, but because of his special relationship with his second daughter, he himself doesn't know what the future will be, and he has never thought about it. It was really a problem that he couldn't solve, and now he just needed to cherish his hard-won happiness.

In the laughter of the crowd. Time flies, "Oh, the bride is out!" With an exclamation, the guests in the chat all looked at Liu Jialing, today's Liu Jialing was wearing a VeraWang white bandeau wedding dress, wearing a 12-carat Cartier diamond ring worth 25 million on her hand, well-groomed makeup and hairstyle, coupled with the joy and happiness naturally revealed on her face, the whole person was radiant.

No wonder it is said that the bride on the wedding day is the most beautiful moment in a woman's life, even if Lin Yuquan, who did not think Liu Jialing was beautiful in the past, has to admit that today's Liu Jialing is quite beautiful, this beauty is not the face and figure, but the spiritual temperament.

If Yifei and Shi Shi wear wedding dresses, they will definitely be more beautiful, the corners of Lin Yuquan's mouth are slightly upturned, and his eyes are full of sweetness and happiness.

Not long after, amid the music, Liu Jialing and Liang Chaowei, who was wearing a white Tomford dress, walked to the tent, and the guests followed in two rows, white tents, white wedding dresses, white giant cakes, and 12-carat Cartier diamond rings...... The romantic elements that all brides dream of begin to play out.

At the time of the much-anticipated Wei Ling's wedding romance, the box office numbers of various countries and regions in the new week and the box office rankings were also released.

"'Hellboy 2' won the championship and ended 'Savage Tales: Rise of the Apes'."

This is the eye-catching title of the New York Post's report on the North American weekend box office charts from July 18 to July 20, and the report begins: "The screaming "Wild Story: Rise of the Apes" was finally surpassed by "Hellboy 2: Golden Army" after winning four consecutive weeks, this investment of $85 million, in 3,204 theaters, with a good average of $11,000 per theater, got a premiere revenue of $35.46 million, beating "Wild Wild: Rise of the Apes" in one fell swoop, won the new week's summer box office champion. ”

Although the opening figure of $35.46 million is far from being compared with the box office champions of the previous summer seasons, for a sequel "mutated" from a small and medium-sized cost film, the result is definitely enough to make Universal Pictures, which unfortunately failed to win the championship last week, cheer, you must know that Sony's "Hellboy" launched in 2004 invested $66 million, the debut box office was $23.2 million, and the total box office was $59.6 million, and it only stayed in the top 10 of the North American box office for 4 weeks before it was hurriedly off the list.

With such a result, what is there to disagree with the management of the world? In fact, after learning the results, the management generally smiled and danced, and it is no wonder that the results of Universal Pictures in the first half of the year were too bad, but fortunately, the works they had high hopes for in the second half of the year did not live up to everyone's expectations, and "Wanted" and "Hellboy 2: The Golden Army" were successes one after another, which is really gratifying.

Not only that, just like "Wanted", "Hellboy 2: The Golden Army" has won a very high reputation in the critical circles, with a freshness of 88% on the Rotten Tomatoes website: 121 votes in favor of: 17 votes against, a B on Yahoo, and a comprehensive media rating of 78 points, which is obviously a step higher than "Wanted", and it is also crazier than "Hellboy", which is not a box office hit but has a good reputation.

"Funny, scary, and surprisingly perfect combination with the imagination of the wind", "full of things you want to see in a summer blockbuster, and more", "The dark romance is invincible and gorgeous, and the evil special effects are very charming, very 'Detoro'!" "Forgetfulness is a sequel. It's so beautiful that it gives rise to a freshness that feels like it's the first time you've come into contact with the world of Hellboy", "Again. Bright. Ron Perlman's role as Hellboy is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, "full marks led by the Hollywood Reporter, the Los Angeles Times, etc." "Variety", "Time", "Washington Post", "Wall Street Journal" and other high scores of more than 90, as well as the audience's full of praise, make the film's box office prospects very good.

And although it did not continue to win the championship, "Wild Wild: Rise of the Apes" is by no means a loser, the biggest loser of the week, and the only loser, is actually the same new "Dave's Spaceship", which is run by Eddie. The sci-fi comedy starring Murphy earned only $4.95 million in 3,011 theaters. With an average of just $1,644, that's a miserable experience, surpassing "Speed Racer" as the most disappointing film of the year.

How bad is the opening result of $4.95 million, looking at all the films in North America that have opened more than 3,000 theaters, there are only two films lower than "Dave's Spaceship", one is "Save the Owl" released on April 21, 2006, and its opening box office in 3,018 theaters is only $3.4 million, which is nothing more terrifying; The other was "Rise of Darkness," which was released on October 5, 2007, and earned only $3.74 million in 3,141 theaters. Like "Flying Boat Dave", this is also a work from 20th Century Fox.

"The story started as a mess. In the end, it is getting worse and worse", "There are not many laughs in the heart, and there are a lot of jokes in the toilet", "The humor that is so childish that it is impossible to understand is completely ungraspable", "Even better than Brian. Director Robbins last held hands with Eddie. Murphy's "My Wife is a Big Mac" is even more intolerable" Rotten Tomatoes Freshness 22%: 14 votes for: 50 votes against, the media overall score is 44, Yahoo! score C, and the critics' bad reviews have doomed the film to a complete crash on the day when it will never turn over.

The word-of-mouth and box office are all terrible, which also inevitably affects the film's main creators, especially Eddie. Murphy, this is the second time he has fallen into hell after "Star Adventure", after "Star Adventure" invested $100 million, the North American box office was $4.4 million, and the final loss was as high as $145 million.

Looking back at "Wild Story: Rise of the Ape Clan", although it was finally ousted from the championship this week, "Wild Story: Rise of the Ape Race" beat the box office of $25.32 million "Wanted", the $20.56 million "Journey to the Center of the Earth 3D", and the $19.1 million box office "Confused Detective", with a decline of 35.31%, another $32.65 million, a considerable box office decline fully shows that the new publicity strategy has worked, so far, With a cumulative box office of $594 million, it is only one step away from the throne of the champion in North American film history.

In countries and regions outside North America, due to the new publicity strategy, many movie fans and book fans in high-grossing cities have been ignited to watch movies, and in the mainland, due to the box office boom in Kyoto, Shanghai, Yangcheng, Rongcheng and other places this week, in the fifth week of release, "Wild Story: The Rise of the Ape Race" only fell by 33.71%, and received another 76.1 million, with a cumulative box office of 785 million, further improving its new box office record.

Hong Kong collected another 10.92 million Hong Kong dollars in a single week, with a cumulative box office of 95.2 million Hong Kong dollars, and a cumulative box office of 121 million Hong Kong dollars in five weeks, not only becoming the second Hong Kong film with a box office of more than 100 million, but also surpassing the 115 million Hong Kong dollars of "Titanic", becoming the box office champion of Hong Kong film history, and this figure is also destined for Lin Yuquan to dominate Hong Kong's annual box office list for four consecutive years.

The Baodao area collected another NT$52.17 million in a single week, with a cumulative box office of NT$559 million, surpassing previous films such as "Hurricane Rescue", "Painted Skin", "Jurassic Park", and "The Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King", setting a new record in film history.

Due to the dual effect of expanding the release region and adopting a new promotional strategy this week, "Wild Story: Rise of the Apes" finally achieved another $89.87 million in 101 countries and regions except North America, a decrease of only 8.11%, and the cumulative overseas box office reached $850.8 million.

594 million + 850.8 million, this account will be counted by anyone, which also means that the global box office of "Wild Wild: Rise of the Ape" has reached 1.4448 billion US dollars. It is $55.2 million short of $1.5 billion. $1.843 billion from "Titanic". There is still a gap of $398.2 million.

Wow, the global box office is almost 1.5 billion US dollars, in the face of this proud achievement, the entire production team of "Wild Story", up and down the Summit Film Company, Shuguang Film Company, Liu Yifei, Liu Shishi, Jiang Yan, Wang Luodan, Zhu Yawen, Luo Jin, Ning Hao, Xiao Yanglin Yuquan and fans of "Wild Wild: The Rise of the Ape Race", and major media reporters. All excited.

However, while being happy, whether it is fans, viewers or media reporters, or Lin Yuquan's family and friends, as well as the staff of Summit Entertainment, they are all full of worries, such worries come from whether "Wild Story: Rise of the Ape" can surpass "Titanic"?

If "Wild Wild: Rise of the Apes" has no possibility of surpassing at all, and just simply achieves good results, then everyone will only be happy, but when "Wild Wild: Rise of the Apes" has some possibility of catching up, and as the distance is getting closer and closer, all those who care about and care about "Wild Wild: Rise of the Apes" will inevitably become troubled by gains and losses.

$398.2 million at the box office. If it was a few weeks before the release of "Savage Story: The Rise of the Ape Race", it could naturally be smoothed out. But now that the film has begun its sixth week of release, such a gap can definitely be described as a huge disparity, last week the film achieved a staggering 138.8 million US dollars in a single week, thanks to the increase in the release area and the enthusiasm of fans inspired by the signing of Lin Yuquan's new book, but what should be used to maintain the box office next week?

What's more, this week's "Wild Story: Rise of the Ape Race" is facing two large-scale releases in North America this week. Directed by Nolan, Christian. Bell, Heath. Ledger? Michael. Kane, Maggie. Gyllenhaal, Morgan. Starring Freeman with a $180 million investment, Batman: The Dark Knight, the sequel to Batman: The Dark Knight.

Prior to this, the "Batman" series had been on the big screen in the 80s of the last century, but after "Batman and Robin" in 1998 became the first "Batman" movie to lose money, Warner did not dare to start the sequel plan for many years.

Until 2005, Christopher. Nolan with Christian. Bell Airborne, with a debut box office of $48.7 million, with outstanding public word-of-mouth, finally stood out in the summer season with an excellent score of $205 million, and sold $166 million overseas in the series, which was not very popular, and achieved great success.

Later, Warners struck while the iron was hot, and Christopher Brown, who pulled "Batman" out of the quagmire. Nolan led the original team to create a sequel to the new series, which was shot on IMAX giant screen film.

This alone has made "Batman Prequel 2: The Dark Knight" compelling enough, and in the Heath. After Ledger died unexpectedly due to improper medication, the attention of the film has increased explosively, and the film has surpassed the 4,366 theater premiere theater record of 4,362 theaters held by "Pirates of the Caribbean 3: The End of the World", "Batman Prequel 2: The Dark Knight" is destined to be a blockbuster box office bomb in the summer file.

Although "Batman: Rise of the Apes" is almost certain to win this year's box office champion, no one will deny the box office dominance of "Batman Begins 2: The Dark Knight", in fact, before the summer season comes, "Batman Begins 2: The Dark Knight" and "Raiders of the Lost Ark 4" and "Wild Beasts: Rise of the Apes" are considered strong candidates for the annual box office champion.

The other film is directed by Meryl. Streep starred in the upcoming "Mamma Mia" in 2,935 theaters.

Let's ask, in the face of the impact of these two films, especially "Batman Begins 2: The Dark Knight", it is not easy for "Wild Wild: Rise of the Apes" to maintain an excellent box office trend.

In China, "Wild Wild: The Rise of the Ape Race", which was released in the sixth week, will also encounter the impact of "Kung Fu Panda", which has been retreating again and again.

In such a situation, the box office prospects of "Wild Wild: Rise of the Apes" are not worrying, even the most hardcore fans can hardly believe that "Wild Stories: Rise of the Apes" can finally catch up, and major media are generally not optimistic that "Wild Stories: Rise of the Apes" can break the global box office film history record of "Titanic".

"Oh, is this how the myth and madness of Savage Tal: Rise of the Apes this summer will end?" Countless people think so.

However, as USA Today said: ""Wild Stories: Rise of the Apes has been successful enough, but "Titanic" is too perverted." ”

"It's really difficult to surpass "Titanic"." When he knew the box office situation in the new week, Lin Yuquan sighed, "Wild Story: Rise of the Apes" has almost surpassed "Titanic" at the North American box office, and the current gap between the two films is mainly reflected in the box office in overseas regions.

At this point, everything that should be done has been done, all Lin Yuquan can do is to believe in the fans and audiences, and then wait with peace of mind.

Regardless of the outcome, Lin Yuquan thinks that he has been successful enough and does not need to mind. (To be continued......)
