The moon was as cool as water, and the light of the lights brightened the dark earth.

"Hi Christine, welcome back to the crew." Lin Yuquan smiled at Christine with a faint smile on her face. Stewart said.

"Hehe, director, I've been looking forward to this day too! I miss the days when I was filming in the crew. "Kristen. Stewart showed a sweet smile and said uncharacteristically, she is usually not like this, perhaps because Lin Yuquan's age is relatively close to her compared to other directors, so she does not have too much sense of restraint, and she is naturally close to Lin Yuquan.

"Oh, really? If Chris hears this, his heart will definitely be very hurt, there is a saying in my motherland called "being in Cao Ying's heart is in Han", which is what you are talking about. Lin Yuquan laughed teasingly.

"Hee-hee, Director Columbus isn't here, he can't hear it, and I don't think you're going to betray me and sue him, will you?" Kristen. Stewart looked at him with clear eyes and said with a grin.

"So sure." Lin Yuquan seemed to be smiling.

"Of course." Kristen. Stewart's delicate chin rose slightly, and he looked into his eyes without blinking.

"You're pretty confident!" Lin Yuquan smiled: "That's right, of course I can't sue him when I encounter this kind of thing, I wish every actor was like you!" As a director, this gives me a special sense of accomplishment. ”

Kristen. Stewart smiled, and then heard Lin Yuquan's words change, "But Christine, you shouldn't be just slapping my ass!" The smile on his face suddenly suffocated, and then he heard Lin Yuquan say, "No matter what, if you can hear such words from Christine, who has always been reserved and quiet, it doesn't matter if it's really a sycophant." Suddenly the delicate girl couldn't cry or laugh.

After saying hello to Lin Yuquan and chatting for a while, Christine. Stewart said goodbye and returned to her hotel room, she did not choose to arrive on the set on the same day and flash after filming, but came a day earlier, adjusted her state, and put herself into tomorrow's shooting in the best condition, which is her habit and her insistence.

Lin Yuquan sat at his desk and considered the details of tomorrow's shooting, although his own villa is not far from the hotel where the crew stayed, but he only went back during the time when Yifei was there and on weekends, and usually lived in the hotel like the rest of the crew, so that he could better devote himself to filming, almost every day after finishing work, he would make a shooting plan for the coming day with the people in charge of the crew, many times, it was necessary to discuss until the early hours of the morning, because it was inevitable that there would be creative differences in the discussion, and if the differences were not resolved, they would unify their opinions. Naturally, it will cause a lot of trouble to the next day's shooting, and even seriously affect the quality of the film.

Lin Yuquan didn't do anything, although he is the director and the boss of Summit Entertainment, his rights are the biggest one in the crew, but what he wants most is to make a good film, he knows that he is not an all-knowing and all-powerful god, if he is right, he will insist, try his best to persuade others, if other people's opinions are better than him, he will accept them humbly, disagreements are not terrible, the real terrible thing is that they cannot be properly resolved after disagreements. The film is not the director's alone, it is the brainchild of everyone in the crew, and only when everyone works together can a great work be made.

The next morning, after having breakfast together, everyone set off for the set.

"Wow, Director, you're cool in this sports car." Beautiful girl Christine. Stewart exclaimed.

Lin Yuquan smiled and glanced at the beautiful girl who was in his car with a sweet smile: "What, do you like it?" If you like, you can buy one yourself, and this type of sports car is not expensive and is completely within your financial means. ”

As the heroine of "Twilight" and "Hurricane Rescue", Kristen. Stewart's salary for each play is $2 million, and for her, a sports car worth four or five hundred thousand dollars is really nothing.

"I know, but I can't drive now, so it's useless to buy it." Kristen. Stewart smiled.

"Well, let's wait until you learn to drive!"

Chatting, time passed unconsciously, and the two soon arrived on the set on a beach in Los Angeles.

After a month and a half of shooting, "Hurricane Rescue" smoothly completed the filming of some shots in the studio, and then officially started shooting on location in late May, and the location of their shooting in the past few days is on this beach, more precisely, on a cruise ship moored in the sea outside the beach.

That's right, it's the cruise ship scene, which is the highest near the end of "Hurricane Rescue". The tide scene is about the criminal gang taking Kate and several other girls with the most outstanding appearance and temperament to the gambling boat moored on the high seas, while gambling, now auctioning Kate and a few people to help the fun, Tang Feng, who was looking for clues all the way, boarded the gambling boat and launched the final life-and-death battle to save Kate and the criminal gangster.

In and Alex. When Kuzman conceived the script, Alex. Kuzman had intended to set the scene in an upscale private club, which was conducive to filming and not as cumbersome as the cruise ship shooting.

However, Lin Yuquan felt that shooting like that was too unimposing on the scene, but he was deeply impressed by the luxury cruise ship scenes that appeared in previous movies, and naturally wanted to shoot such scenes in his first urban movie. After Kuzman communicated, he wrote two versions of the film, one that takes place in an upscale private club and the other that takes place on a cruise ship.

The reason for this is that it is very tricky to actually find a luxury cruise ship like this for filming, after all, cruise ships are not like cars, if a cruise ship is scrapped, it will be dismembered forever, so it is very difficult to find a cruise ship that is no longer in operation and is still usable.

In the consideration of the two, if they can't find a cruise ship directly, then they either build a cruise ship scene by themselves or change the venue, the disadvantages of the former are obvious, the cost is high and it takes at least three months.

Luckily, I did find a cruise ship that could be used directly for filming, and this is a cruise ship that was no longer in service last year, and although the rental fee is still high, it is completely within the budget affordability.

"Oh, director, is this the cruise ship we filmed?" Kristen. Stewart asked in amazement with a strange look in his eyes.

"That's right." Lin Yuquan nodded.

Following the eyes of the two of them, you can see that on the clear blue sea, a giant white cruise ship is unusually conspicuous in front of you, proudly announcing its existence.

"Wow, it's really great, I can't wait to get on board, this is the first time I've seen a cruise ship in real life, I wonder how it feels to be on a cruise ship?" Kristen. Stewart said excitedly.

"Of course, it's a great feeling." Lin Yuquan smiled and looked at the cruise ship with satisfaction, although this cruise ship has been built for a long time, and it is difficult to compare with the top luxury cruise ships that have been launched in terms of appearance, but in the end, it is still very beautiful and domineering, and its interior is used for film shooting.

And no one said that the domineering appearance of the luxury cruise ship during the day in the movie has to be this one, the scene of the film is shot at night, and it is basically the interior of the cabin.

In May, at the beginning of this summer season, it is a season worth celebrating and happy for both Dawning Movies and Summit Entertainment, when "Hostess" only won $2.56 million at the box office with 300 theaters and entered the TOP10, the domestic weekly box office champion from May 14 to May 20 was once again won by "Spider-Man 3", which has won two consecutive championships, and like the previous two weeks, the box office is far ahead of other movies behind it.

After collecting another $16 million, with a cumulative box office of 120 million, it has surpassed many films such as "The Da Vinci Code" and "Pearl Harbor", and has become the highest-grossing Hollywood film and imported film in the mainland except for "Titanic".

At the same time, "Spider-Man 3" also became the first movie to exceed 100 million at the box office this year, making a good start for the hot summer season.

In second place on this week's box office list is a newly released Hollywood CG animated film, "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" adapted from the classic game, which is produced by Warner Bros., Zhang Ziyi dubbed the female leader of the villain Ninja Group, with an investment of only 35 million US dollars, the low-cost animated film won a total of 7.8 million box office in the first week and 3 days, the results are not too good, and of course it is not bad, after all, this is a low-cost animated movie, if it weren't for Zhang Ziyi's gimmick, he wouldn't even be able to get 7.8 million, in fact, "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" It should be celebrated.

In fact, the investment cost of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" has long been recovered and profitable, this film is not released recently, but as early as March 23, it landed in North American theaters, with 3110 theaters to open on a large scale, and finally in the fourth week of March, defeated "Sniper Life and Death", "Wild Biao", "Magic Toy Box", "Prophecy" and other films, and topped the North American weekend box office list from March 23rd to March 25th, which is also Zhang Ziyi's second to "Rush Hour", "Hero", "Painted Skin" After the fourth participating work that won the North American box office championship in the first week, unfortunately, there were not many scenes. Before the deadline, the film's North American box office has exceeded $40 million, and the global box office is nearly $90 million.

In third place is Xu Jinglei's "Dream into Reality", compared with last week, the box office of "Dream into Reality" this week fell by 43, closing at 1.62 million, and in three weeks, the box office has accumulated to 11.06 million, and it is striding towards 12 million. Now there is no excitement in the Dawning movie, and it is completely with a very relaxed attitude to see what kind of journey the film can achieve in the end, and people always become indifferent after exceeding their expectations.

With such a mentality, in the following week from May 21st to May 27th, the box office of "Dreams into Reality" has reached 11.84 million, which is only one step away from the 12 million mark, and the next week will definitely be able to break through the past incomparably.

The top two of the weekly box office list have not changed, but the difference between the box office between the two has suddenly shrunk to the point of reach, only a difference of 340,000, after winning the weekly box office list again, the cumulative box office of the four-consecutive champion "Spider-Man 3" has reached 130.5 million, and "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" has received 10.11 million box office, with a total of 18 million box office in two weeks, and the total box office in the mainland is not high, which is not high, has been more than the investment of 60 million US dollars in "Sniper Life and Death" and last year's comedy dark horse "Life Remote Control", which earned $137 million in North America and broke $200 million at the global box office.

This week, the two films received 2.6 million and 350,000 respectively, with a cumulative mainland box office of 16.8 million and 10.8 million, and another multinational co-production with the Chinese translation of "The Heart of the King", also called "Tristan and Isolde", ranked third this week with a box office of 3.2 million, and the current cumulative box office is 14 million.

At the same time, on the weekend box office list in North America from May 24th to May 26th, "Shrek 3", which topped the box office list last week, was ousted from the throne without even sitting on the buttocks, earning $51.04 million this week, a decrease of 58 compared with last week, but the North American box office with a total of $201 million is barely ideal, and the speed of breaking through 200 million in 10 days is second only to "Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Soul Coffin", "Spider-Man 2", "Star Wars Prequel 3: Revenge of the Sith", "Spider-Man 3", " "Spider-Man 1" ranks sixth in film history, and according to this speed and the situation of the previous works, it should not be difficult for the North American box office to break 300 million.

As for the box office winners, are there any questions? As high as 300 million US dollars, second only to the huge investment of "Avatar" that Cameron is tossing, surpassing the record 4252 of "Spider-Man 3" and the largest release scale in North America of 4362, following the super sequel of the first two parts of the horror North American box office of 305.4 million US dollars and 423.3 million US dollars respectively, coupled with the hot popularity of Captain Enchanting Jack who swept the world, the strong landing of "Pirates of the Caribbean 3: The End of the World" has reached the box office champion without suspense. Its box office of $112.5 million has also become the third film to break 100 million in the opening weekend of this summer, and the summer season has only been open for less than a month.

However, despite the box office success of "Pirates of the Caribbean 3: The End of the World", it is inevitable to be disappointed, especially pirate fans, who are disappointed, breaking 100 million is breaking 100 million, but "Pirates of the Caribbean 3", the largest theater release in North American history, was sandwiched by "Spider-Man 3" and "Shrek 3", and unfortunately lost the opportunity to set a new box office record, only ranking fifth in the box office list of the opening weekend, behind the 148 million of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Gathering Souls" of 135 million, 122 million for "Shrek 3", and 121 million for "Shrek 2", which is almost the least box office of the three third sequels released at the same time.

In addition, "Pirates of the Caribbean 3: The End of the World" was also released on Friday in 102 countries and territories outside the United States, earning $43 million on the same day. The total revenue in the overseas market in the first weekend was $205 million, ranking second in film history, second only to "Spider-Man 3". As a result, its $332 million global first-week box office is also second only to "Spider-Man 3" and second in film history.

With a higher investment and greater ambition, such an outcome is certainly not an ideal outcome for Pirates of the Caribbean 3: The End of the World, and what is even more serious is that it will not be so easy to win in the long-term competition from now on.

Take a look at the media evaluation of "Pirates of the Caribbean 3: The End of the World", the film's Rotten Tomatoes website freshness is only 52 (Yahoo! score C+), "Entertainment Weekly", "New York Times", "New York Post", "USA Today", "Los Angeles Times" and other well-known media only give a score of C or less.

"Although the action scenes with a strong sense of rhythm are wonderful, the story of the group portrait characters is really not systematic", "Influenced by "Infernal Affairs"? The characters inexplicably repeat and change hexagrams...... "CG technology is incomparable, but the excess story accidentally kills the fun of a certain amount of dù", "The audio-visual effect is mountainous, but there is no need to spend 170 minutes, right? ", "There are a lot of new characters, but it's a pity that it's the iron-clad Jack and the flowing Pirate King", "The novelty has disappeared, and it's probably not easy for the post-trilogy to grab money under the guise of the series" How can such a bad review not be worrying, the rapidly declining box office of "Spider-Man 3" is a good example.

What's more, the situation of the schedule is also very unfavorable to "Pirates of the Caribbean 3: The End of the World", although "Spider-Man 3" has a bad reputation, but the first two weeks of the film's release did not have too strong competitors, and it was not until the third week that it met "Shrek 3", and the fourth week ran into it.

And it has been hit by "Spider-Man 3" and "Shrek 3" from the beginning, and then next week it will face the latest masterpiece "One Night Belly" carefully concocted by the team of "Forty-Year-Old Virgin", a dark horse at the box office of Universal's 05 box office, and "Mr. Brooke" produced by Sony MGM that landed in 2453 theaters. Directed by Soderbergh, the sequel to Ocean's Eleven and Ocean's Twelve, Ocean's Thirteen, which will be released in 3,565 theaters, brings together Blatter. Pete, George. Clooney, Matt. Damon, Al. Pacino's bright name is bound to be a box office bomb, and Sony's "Surfing Penguin" is extremely dangerous.

"Spider-Man 3" ranked third with a box office of $13.7 million, with a cumulative box office of $303 million in four weeks, and after a series of box office declines, it is impossible for the North American box office to exceed $400 million, and even in the case of strong enemies, it is already worth celebrating to reach 350 million.

In fourth place is the newly released "A Thousand Holes" this week, Lionsgate has a sharp eye for horror films, and this modest horror film took home $3.26 million this week.

The fifth place is "28 Weeks of Shock", after receiving another $2.4 million, it has accumulated $23.52 million, which is basically a success at the box office, but this should also be the last part of the "Shock" series, I'm afraid Fox Atom will not get any "Shocking 28 Months", "Shocking 28 Seasons", and "Shocking 28 Years".

As for the sixth place, "The Hostess", which remained unchanged from last week's ranking, due to the lack of theaters released and the good word-of-mouth, the box office of the film has hardly declined, occupying this unknown with 2.28 million, and the cumulative box office has risen to 6.4 million.

Naturally, Summit Entertainment is very happy with such a box office success, and the following week, the number of theaters in which the film will be released will increase from 300 to 500, which also makes everyone full of expectations for what kind of box office results the film will achieve next.

Summit Entertainment won the distribution rights of the film for $5 million at that time, as long as the box office of the film can reach 11 million, it can recover the cost from the box office, according to the current situation, there is almost no problem with this, profit, and plus DVD and other audio copyrights and other income, this number is not a small amount, when I think of this, it suddenly makes everyone in Summit Entertainment feel hot.

Seeing such box office results, Lin Yuquan's mood in the crew has become happier, as the first film he bought at the Sundance Film Festival for the first time, he can achieve such results, and the sense of achievement in his heart is more than the monetary gain.

"Yuquan, our TV series has achieved extremely high ratings after being broadcast on the three major TV stations, and the ratings of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Taiwan are the national ratings champion in the same period!" Liu Shishi's excited voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Of course, I don't want to think about what kind of TV series it is, such a well-made costume martial arts drama, if you can't even win the ratings championship, then our company won't have to make annual dramas in the future." Lin Yuquan smiled lightly.

"The Legend of Deer and Ding" can achieve such high ratings is completely in his expectations, as he said, if not so, what if it is strange? In fact, as early as when the filming of "The Deer and Ding Ji" started, several major domestic TV stations came to the door to discuss cooperation, because everyone knows what kind of box office bomb "The Deer and Ding Ji" is, produced by Shuguang Film Company, with a large investment in the excellent production of Xu Zheng, Liu Yifei, Jiang Yan, Zhang Guoli, Wang Gang, Zhou Haimei, Gao Yuanyuan and other bright star lineups, and more importantly, the action scenes are actually from Lin Yuquan, the hottest director in China, the hottest idol director, if such a TV series can't achieve high ratings, who else can, it can be said that this is a drama that must have a guaranteed ratings.

Originally, CCTV was going to win the exclusive broadcast at the beginning, but how could the exclusive broadcast price of 1 million make Shuguang Film nod and agree, the investment in a single episode of "The Legend of Deer and Ding" is so much, plus other expenses, and the time they paid for it, are they doing it for nothing? Speaking of which, in today's market environment, no TV station can afford such a large-scale drama, 100 per episode is already a sky-high price, maybe in a few years, the advertising revenue of the TV station will further increase, there will be 2 million, or even 3 million buyout exclusive broadcast.

CCTV can't eat solo broadcasting, of course, other TV stations can't do it, and CCTV and Hunan Satellite TV are used to being alone, other TV stations have the habit of working together, and finally three TV stations such as Jiangsu and Zhejiang bought out the premiere at a price of 1 million per episode, yes, it's just the first broadcast, according to the estimation of Ding and others, after selling the second and third rounds of broadcast rights, plus other income, Shuguang Film has at least tens of millions of net profits for this series, and Hong Kong and Taiwan seem to be interested in this TV series. The profit may even reach 2000-30 million.

"Oh, that's right." Liu Shishi smiled: "Now that I have finally starred in a ratings champion drama, I finally don't have to shoot TV series like before, no one sees it, and I can only broadcast it on terrestrial channels or rent and sell DVDs." ”

"That's all you have to say!" Lin Yuquan said with a smile.

"What else could there be!" Liu Shishi was a little puzzled.

"Huh." Lin Yuquan smiled, stretched out his left hand towards the void, and said with a smile: "Welcome to join the ranks of stars." ”R1152
