The scandal between Lee Chung-hee and Jessica Alba was uproaring because of the magazine "Vanity Fair", although both of them denied it, but the public didn't believe it very much, and the paparazzi were even more excited, chasing the two of them two times more entertainment in an instant.

This made Lee Chung-hee and Jessica Alba a little annoying, but there is no doubt that this unintentional move made "The Da Vinci Code" and "Spider-Man" more popular.

And these attention will undoubtedly make the box office revenue of these two films, first, on November 30, after the grand screening of "The Da Vinci Code", the box office war this Christmas will be the first to explode.

From November 30th to December 2nd, after the three-day box office came out, many people were a little surprised, and then there was envy, because the three-day box office was as much as 118.6 million US dollars, and there was no suspense that he won the throne of the weekend box office. You know, the box office of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" in the first weekend was only more than 90 million US dollars.

At the moment, the first part of this "Harry Potter" movie only had a box office of $23.64 million in the third week.

As for why I was just a little surprised, there is no doubt that it is because the novel of "The Da Vinci Code" is so good, and the movie is also very good, plus Tom Hanks is in charge, and there are two big celebrities Madonna and Lee Chung-hee waving their flags and shouting, it is difficult to think about the box office, but I didn't expect it to be so good.

Faced with such a result, Lee Chung-hee and Madonna, as bosses, were naturally happy and worked harder, and. They also chose the timing very well. "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" is already in its third week of release. And "Spider-Man" is still a week away.

In addition, the cartoon "Monster Inc" is in the fifth week, and the other "Behind Enemy Lines" and "Spy Game" can only be used as cannon fodder for "The Da Vinci Code".

Think about it, "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" only got 23.64 million US dollars, but it ranked second in the weekend box office list, while "Behind Enemy Lines" only got 18.65 million US dollars in the first week of release and ranked third.

Therefore, in the week from December 3rd to 9th, the box office of "The Da Vinci Code" continued to explode. The box office reached $136 million, which brought the national box office of "The Da Vinci Code" to a surprising figure of $254.6 million.

Of course, the box office continued to explode in the second week, not only because of the novel and publicity, but because of the quality of the film.

Among them, the comprehensive score of major media in the United States is 81 points, of which "Entertainment Weekly" and "" give full marks, and 9 media outlets, including "Christian Monitor", "Rolling Stone" magazine, "USA Today", and "Chicago Sun", all give high scores of more than 8o points.

At the same time, the freshness of Rotten Tomatoes is as high as 88%, Yahoo film critic A. Audience rating A, and. , these, all support the movie has a good wave.

"The film captures the most dazzling selling point of the novel very well, and Tom Hanks also shows the demeanor of the male protagonist of the novel well, and it is said that there is a reason why he lost more than ten pounds for this......" Hollywood Chronicle

"As a producer and author of the novel, Vincent has undoubtedly done what he promised, and of course, as he said, the style of the film is more realistic, not as psychedelic ......as the novel." Los Angeles Times

"The pacing is very good, the choice of Tom Hanks is a stroke of genius, and coupled with the novel's best-seller, the results of the film "The Da Vinci Code" are not surprising......." Boston Herald

When the media and box office were a big hit, "The Da Vinci Code" entered its third week of release, and at this time, it also began to be released in more than 40 countries around the world, including Canada and Australia.

However, the media across the United States have focused on the upcoming release of "Spider-Man", or rather, everyone is looking forward to the collision of "Spider-Man" and "The Da Vinci Code", not only at the box office, but also with word of mouth.

Because both are adapted from paper books, plus the big sales of "The Da Vinci Code" and "Harry Potter", everyone is naturally more anxious to look forward to "Spider-Man", which has been popular for almost half a century.

"Vincent, which do you think will be better at the box office of "Spider-Man" or "The Da Vinci Code"?"

At seven o'clock in the evening, at the entrance of the Chinese Theater in Hollywood, the grand screening of "Spider-Man" was about to begin, and when Lee Chung-hee and Jessica Alba got off the bus, many reporters surrounded them.

This first question has also been asked a lot recently, but reporters always take the trouble to ask it as if they are amused.

"It's a secret!" Lee Chung-hee replied mischievously, and in the midst of Jessica Alba's giggles, he continued to walk forward, but Alyssa, a reporter from the Los Angeles Times, looked at the two of them with a smile and said, "Is it, just like your love affair with Jessica Alba, is it all a secret?" ”

This is a pit, and the reporters also coaxed, but Lee Chung-hee was not fooled, and said slyly: "The second question, and the last question, guys, have you thought about it, if you don't, I'll go in!" ”

"I heard that Madonna's newcomer Katy Perry is about to release a new single, or you wrote the lyrics and arranged the music," a reporter from the California Herald asked, "Do you have anything to do with her, or is it because you have a special relationship with Madonna?" ”

This guy bit the word special very hard, and Lee Chung-hee knew that he would definitely write a related article, so he didn't bother to pay attention to him, and he didn't want to, Jessica Alba next to him secretly screwed him as if he was jealous.

On the other hand, Hudson, a reporter from the San Francisco Chronicle, is an old friend, he is still a Chinese, and asked Lee Chung-hee with a smile, "Someone took an intimate photo of Nicole Kidman, who has been divorced from Tom Cruise for almost half a year, and you are intimate, they say that you are dating, and they also say that you are the ...... trigger for the divorce of the two of them." ”

"Is it that I can't have contact with any woman?" Lee Chung-hee said with a smile, "Then you should go and make a list, there may be hundreds or even tens of thousands." Hurry up and get busy. The interview with me was completely unnecessary! ”

After speaking. After Jessica Alba also finished the interview, she walked in directly, not because they didn't cooperate, but because there was a special media session at the screening, and now, they have given face by answering four questions.

That's because it's in the propaganda stage, otherwise, you won't be dumped if you walk in directly.

saw the popularity of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone". Seeing the more popularity of "The Da Vinci Code", Columbia Pictures also spent a lot of money this time, almost copying the publicity model of "The Da Vinci Code", frantically throwing money on publicity, and the same is true for the current screening.

Of course, it has to be said that Sam Raimi did a good job, and Lee Chung-hee's performance added a lot to the movie.

The screening is always like that, nothing too unusual, press conference. A small cocktail party, as well as a small meet-and-greet and games for manga fans. Then, it's time to see the movie.

Sam Raimi does not have editing rights as a director, this is the rule of Hollywood, as a director has editing rights, Hollywood is just a slap in the face, however, he saw the final edited version, but Lee Chung-hee can't help it.

So, like Jessica Alba, he's still a little looking forward to the new version, or what the edited version will look like.

So when the lights went out and the screen started flashing, he calmed down.

At first, it's the opening and voiceover, and then it moves on to the official scene, in a quiet town, the school bus is speeding by, and a young man suddenly runs out from one side, chasing the bus while shouting, "Wait a minute, wait a minute!" ”

There was laughter in the car, and the young man was wearing a pair of black-framed glasses, his head was a little messy, and his clothes were gray, and at first glance he felt rustic, not at all the chic and dignified of Lee Chung-hee in real life.

This made a lot of viewers laugh, and then, Jessica Alba appeared in the camera, which immediately made people's eyes shine, this is undoubtedly an eye-catching beauty, which is what the audience likes.

Then, Lee Chung-hee got into the car, and as one foot stretched out, he fell to the ground with a bang, because it was a panoramic shot, the sound of smashing down was very dull, looking at his painful expression, everyone's teeth were a little sore, and then, combined with the previous he gave people all kinds of contempt, so, the dissatisfaction and indignation in the hearts of the audience rose.

In this way, when the audience saw the spider bite him, in addition to exclaiming, it was secretly happy, and they were looking forward to his transformation.

Then, they naturally took the lead in seeing Li Zhengxi's toned figure in the mirror, which had made many women scream, and at the same time, Li Zhengxi also took off his glasses, and then straightened his head again.

Although the clothes are still rustic, the spirit of the whole person began to change, and slowly, after experiencing all kinds of pain and tribulation, he finally transformed into Spider-Man.

The process of an ordinary person becoming Spider-Man is also the growth process of a level hero, and Sam Raimi grasps this very well, rather than being invincible as a hero at the beginning.

In other words, Sam Raimi's setting and story are very down-to-earth, which makes ordinary people feel a sense of substitution, and the excitement of substituting himself from that ordinary person to transforming into Spider-Man.

In this way, the feeling of watching the film will be very pleasant, and with it comes the affirmation of the film, which, at the end of the movie, can be seen by the standing ovation of the audience, this film is good.

Therefore, the executives of Columbia Pictures were happy, Sam Raimi was also happy, and Lee Chung-hee couldn't be much happier, as for Jessica Alba, she pouted and muttered in a low voice, "I'm so bad at acting!" ”

"That's because you're too demanding of yourself," Lee Chung-hee smiled and comforted, to be honest, Jessica Alba's performance is not good, but it is not much worse than the original Christ Dunst, and more importantly, she is obsessed with death, which is enough for her to be affirmed.

Jessica Alba pouted, she wasn't stupid, but she didn't think she was unhappy, but asked him casually, "What do you think will happen to the box office of this movie?" ”

"Very well," Lee Chung-hee replied with a smile, and Sam Raimi heard him say this, "Really, then I want to thank you." ”

Lee Chung-hee chuckled, gave him and the equally happy Ewell a middle finger, and said. "If you want to thank you, come out with some sincerity. Don't just talk about it! ”

Jokes are jokes. The box office of "Spider-Man" was really a big hit, and on December 17, after the weekend box office came out, it overjoyed Columbia Pictures, with a price of 114.84 million US dollars, only 4 million less than "The Da Vinci Code".

It was undoubtedly the top box office of the weekend, while "The Da Vinci Code" plummeted by almost 50 percent from the second week, to only $68.5 million. But he also won the second place.

Of course, there are more than 60 million in the third week, which is already very satisfying for Madonna and Lee Chung-hee, and what is even more gratifying is that this week, the first week of the overseas release of "The Da Vinci Code" also collected 189 million US dollars at the box office.

Judging from this momentum, it seems that the global billion is promising, a billion. That's enough to squeeze into the top ten positions in the global box office list in the history of cinema now.

It's a pity that there is no sequel to The Da Vinci Code. And "Spider-Man" has it, when it received more than 100 million in the first weekend, fools know that a sequel must be made.

Columbia Pictures contacted Lee Chung-hee's agent as soon as possible to discuss the contract for the second part, but there was no way, Lee Chung-hee was not only a popular fried chicken, but also a big boss, and he was usually very busy.

Because the movie was filmed for the first part, it can't be prepared first like the original, and then find an actor, the actor must be fixed, and the schedule must be determined first and then prepared, which is the usual practice for sequels.

Otherwise, you just prepared, and other big names have no schedule, isn't that dumbfounded?

However, Columbia Pictures got no good news, because Lee Chung-hee's agent Han Mi-joo replied that the actor's salary was 20 million US dollars, and if the action director still had to come, he would have to count the money.

He only got 2 million originally, and the action director only got 800,000, but now it has risen directly from 2 million to 20 million, which is a tenfold increase.

There is simply no way to end it, and Laura, who has always been at odds with Lee Chung-hee, jumped up and down, saying that she would change roles, and the people from Columbia Pictures also secretly revealed the relevant meaning to Han Mi-joo's side.

But Lee Chung-hee is very tough, he loves to change it, he is not rare, and he said more resolutely that not a dime can be missing.

He is really not uncommon, it takes about four months to make a film, and now he is the master who makes tens of thousands of dollars per minute, 20 million, and he can earn it by making a book casually.

And Columbia Pictures obviously knows this, he is not at all different from other actors, it is not coercion and inducement, in this way, it is Columbia Pictures' turn to have a headache, the problem is, Sam Raimi said, Lee Chung-hee created a classic role.

Not to mention acting, that kind of action is not something that others can imitate, not only must it be agile and stretched, but it must also be wonderful to the peak, wonderful, do other Hollywood stars know martial arts.

Even if there is, it's a three-legged cat, the executives of Columbia Pictures have also seen the movie and understand the absolute action, of course, it's still that problem, and now Lee Chung-hee's Spider-Man image has been affirmed and appreciated by almost the vast majority of comic book fans, which is their biggest headache.

Look at what they say, "I have to say sorry to Vincent, he's really good, although he seems like a rookie in acting, he completely showed me what genius is, his performance is amazing, and his movements are the most perfect Spider-Man in my mind......." ”

"I've got to say, Vincent is Spider-Man, the Asian, he's so much better than those white idiots......."

"Don't you think Vincent is the real Spider-Man, he was very low-key at first, but suddenly one day, he shocked the whole world with his watch, so that everyone was immersed in his charm, sharing the joy and joy he brought to the world, perhaps, just in a different way, but he is also a hero in my mind, the ...... who saved my soul."

Thinking about it, it was affirmed, and then, Columbia Pictures suddenly changed the role, if the change of role is to change a better one, then naturally there is something to say, but in the case that there is obviously no way to show that kind of action wonderful Cheng dù, isn't it trying to be the enemy of the world.

Therefore, Columbia Pictures was in pain, but it was their business, and Lee Chung-hee was very happy at this time, or rather, he really didn't take it to heart.

On the 18th, during the promotional schedule of "Spider-Man", Lee Chung-hee appeared at the Los Angeles Music Center. Over here. A newcomer under Madonna. Katy Perry is about to release her new single.

Today is a sunny day, about ten degrees in the afternoon, the sun shines on the body and there is a warm feeling, Lee Chung-hee got out of the car from the side door, there are no media reporters here, he sneaked in.

There was still half an hour to go, and there was intense preparation inside, and Madonna was in the final guidance to Katy Perry for some details. This includes tips for answering journalists' questions.

When I saw him, I said casually, "Why are you here?" ”

Lee Chung-hee chuckled, "I'm not idle at home and have nothing to do," although he and Madonna had that kind of relationship, but now they are more like sisters and brothers, very close but not overstepping, both of them think it's good, and they usually talk very casually.

And casually said to Katy Perry, "Nervous." I'll tell you a way that I often use. That is, as long as I appear, I am the center of the world, they are my subordinates, they all have to listen to me, you think about it, you are the biggest, then what are you afraid of, so you can easily face them....... ”

"What nonsense?" Katy Perry gave him an angry look, people are different, he is very proud, so yes, she can't, she has just turned seventeen, and she has never seen any wind and rain.

Madonna giggled, "So, every time you talk to me about business, you look down on me!" ”

"It's contempt," Lee Chung-hee chuckled and gave her a light kick, "Actually, it's normal, the person who takes the initiative occasionally puts more pressure on the opponent if he is a little stronger," shrugging, "However, you should understand that you made a lot of money last time!" ”

Of course Madonna knew, so she smiled and patted his ass gently, and winked mischievously at him, "Remember, or I'll pay off the debt tonight!" ”

Then he pointed at Katy Perry, "Why don't you take her with you, so you'll be satisfied!" ”

Katy Perry heard that she started talking again, she was ashamed, and said, "Why are you so unserious," Actually, Madonna is not usually like this, but when she gets together with Lee Chung-hee, it is easy to talk nonsense.

At this time, Madonna ignored her at all and continued, "Why is it not serious, don't you always say that you want to thank him, how to thank him, money is not rare for him, and you are not smart enough for him, besides, women, the best way to thank a man is to be presumptuous with him,"

"Okay, don't be kidding," Lee Chung-hee said to Madonna in a straight voice: "Now that the box office of "The Da Vinci Code" is very good, the next thing about the copyright of the DVD and the opening of peripherals, since your company is involved, you should quickly come up with a plan to ......." ”

Dreameeks is a small company, and the usual habit is to take money out to invest, and his ability to do things seriously is very weak, which is why the company collapsed before this year, and Madonna was in debt.

On the contrary, Imperial Pictures, although it has only started for a long time, under the operation of Li Wenxi, it has been unfolding in an orderly manner, and it has only been more than half a year, which is no worse than ordinary medium-sized movies.

Madonna also understood what Lee Chung-hee meant, and frowned, she took advantage of it last time and made a fortune, but if you want to continue to take advantage, you have to show your ability, but although the company has made money, there has been no change internally, except for Daniel, who has some ability, everyone else is not good.

"Honestly, are you interested in buying our company," Madonna suddenly said this, which made Lee Chung-hee stunned.

If it was a year ago, it would have been easy to say, but now, Dreameeks has no value to Imperial Pictures, so Lee Chung-hee shook his head with a smile, looked at Madonna and smiled bitterly, and did not ask why, but said: "Since you have this idea, I think that after this project, you might as well quit altogether, or even quit now, to get the maximum benefit!" ”

"Who's going to buy it?" Madonna pouted, she only realized how clumsy her company was after seeing the exhibition of Imperial Pictures, and then, naturally, she wanted to climb the big tree of Lee Chung-hee, which was undoubtedly a good idea, but she also knew that it was basically an extravagant hope.

Of course, she was still very disappointed when she heard it directly, but maybe she shouldn't have said it in the first place.

"Then just end it," Li Zhengxi said categorically, her mentality is obviously not suitable for doing it, "If you take the money, you can also invest in other things,"

Madonna still smiled bitterly, she has been in this circle for so many years, she understands these things, and she also relies on the connections in this industry to do this, where does she understand the rest.

Instead, he rolled his eyes and looked at Li Zhengxi, "I heard that you still have a lot of industries, such as Facebook, which has been very popular recently." ”

Lee Chung-hee smiled, he didn't want the film company, but Madonna was rich, and it was not difficult for him to help her invest, so he nodded, "I don't plan to let others get involved in Facebook for the time being, but I can recommend other things to you for you, and I promise to make money!" ”

The last sentence was the most important thing, Madonna finally smiled, she would not doubt his ability to make money, let alone doubt that he would tell a lie.

Chatting, the time was coming soon, Katy Perry looked even more nervous, and pulled Lee Chung-hee and said, "What do you think?" ”

"Great!" Lee Chung-hee nodded affirmatively, she was wearing a bright silver bandeau skirt, shiny and flamboyant, which matched the style of the song, and she was both youthful and beautiful at the same time, which was the carrying behind the song.

"It's okay, we're all around," Madonna encouraged again, and she almost fell on her first appearance, which she regarded as the biggest trouble of her life.

But then I learned that it was nothing, and besides, she quickly conquered everyone with her songs.

"Remember, you have a charming face, and a proud figure, and now Vincent and I have you ...... back." As soon as she said this, Katy Perry smiled, "If you say that, I'm only going to stress more!" ”

Thinking about it, Madonna smiled, and then slapped her ass hard, laughing, "Then hurry up, go up honestly!" ”

The click-and-click spotlight is as if it doesn't cost money, which is actually because Lee Chung-hee and Madonna personally cheered the scene, but Katy Perry, who was standing in the middle, was undoubtedly taken aback.

The body was stiff, and the smile on his face was also far-fetched, Li Zhengxi smiled slightly, and it seemed natural to hug her waist.

Strong arms symbolize strong backing and also bring her strength, Katy Perry was stunned for a moment, and her mood relaxed inexplicably, and Lee Chung-hee said close to her ear, "Wave!" After that, in addition to doing it, I felt that kind of intimacy, and my heart was even more excited.

Then, the smile on her face was obviously bright and natural, although she knew that Lee Chung-hee's actions just now would definitely be on the front page tomorrow, but, did she care, it seemed that they had already been on the front page.

On the contrary, I was a little excited, and the smile on my face was even bigger!

Next, the press conference began, and the entertainers were very cunning, knowing that Lee Chung-hee was not easy to deal with, so they directly threw the question to Katy Perry, "Miss Katy Perry, how long have you been dating Vincent, is it because of your relationship that he wrote this song for you?"
