North America recorded a record of nearly $500 million in two weeks, and the overseas box office is not inferior at all. This extremely perfect combination of popcorn and sci-fi, thriller, and suspense has also been sought after by overseas markets.

The United Kingdom, France, Germany, South Korea, Japan, China, Hong Kong Island and other places have recorded record-breaking opening weekend box office, and then continue to soar because of good word-of-mouth.

After the end of the second week, the box office of 469 million US dollars also set a record for the first two weeks of the overseas box office.

The box office of nearly $1 billion in just two weeks has also made the media and film critics begin to advocate whether "Inception" may surpass the original box office of "Titanic" of more than $1.8 billion and become the first in history.

In New York, at the recording site of Oprah's talk show, Oprah was also asking Lee Chung-hee this question, "Leonardo DiCaprio said that if you break the box office record, he will be a little angry, or jealous, but he will be happier with you, what do you think?" ”

"It seems that there are more than 1.8 billion," Lee Chung-hee shrugged, "I think there should be more than 2 billion, and from an economic point of view, we should estimate inflation and the like, so if you say it, "Titanic" is still an unattainable number!" ”

"That's not to say," Oprah laughed, "Or you're too harsh, times are changing, everyone's lives are changing, when "Ben Hur" was released, almost all Americans bought tickets to watch it, then if it is according to inflation and the like, it's not more, and "Gone with the Wind" and the like! ”

Lee Chung-hee smiled. Spread your hands. "Of course I do. I mean, it's nothing to be proud of! ”

After a meal, "To say that I don't care about the box office at all is a lie, because it's not just my business, it's about the company and employees, all the efforts of everyone, but." My greatest joy in making movies is the quality of the movies and getting liked by everyone, so I would like to share this with you! ”

Oprah shrugged with a smile, then looked at Won Bin and Ha Ji Won, "I'm sorry, I snubbed you a little at first, uh, Won Bin we know each other, Miss Ha Ji Won, it's the first time we've met, can you tell us how you felt about filming Inception this time?" ”

"Well, this is the first time I've worked with a Hollywood production team."

Ha Ji Won glanced at Lee Jung-hee with a sweet smile on his face. "But I'm good friends with Zhengxi, we've known each other for a long time, and we've worked together, so this time it's still very smooth!"

"Speaking of good friends, you and Yuan Bin are both good friends of Dr. Li," Oprah smiled slyly, "You and Dr. Li have also had scandals, it seems that there have been more than one or two times, and you are even quite close to each other, do you really think that men and women can be friends?" ”

"It's hard to say!" Ha Ji Won deliberately replied like this, and then chuckled: "I often hear them say that my relationship with him is more than a friend, and the relationship is not full, and it is a bit like a brother and sister, in short, it is a very special relationship, and we also enjoy this state!" ”

"Will it suddenly get out of control one day!" Oprah said suddenly.

Yuan Bin couldn't help but laugh, and Oprah looked at him in amazement, "You seem to know something?" ”

"No, no!" Although Yuan Bin was shy and didn't talk much, he was very smart, and he said as soon as he thought about it: "I think it's interesting that the two of them are too familiar, you know, it's the kind of Cheng Dù who is so familiar that even the other party's very private things are very clear, I'm curious, what will happen if they suddenly get out of control as you said, it's definitely funny!" ”

"That's it!" Oprah didn't let him go, "What about you, you and Dr. Li are good friends, and you should be very familiar with Ha Ji Won!" ”

"It's a very familiar friend, very good friend," Yuan Bin was also vigilant, with a smile on his face, "We often meet, but it's just simple friends, we can help each other, support each other, and even appreciate each other, but it's not anything like love!" ”

After a meal, without waiting for Oprah to speak, he first blocked a sentence, "Uh, how to say it, it's like family, well, it's family!" ”

Oprah had no choice but to take the opportunity to ask him, ""Harvard Love Story" is your Hollywood debut, in "Inception", you completely gave us another impression, and it is a stunning impression, do you have any plans to come to Hollywood next?" ”

"There are better!" Won Bin smiled, then looked at Lee Chung-hee, "He gave me some scripts, all of them are good, I'm still thinking about it, uh, in fact, I prefer the slightly simpler life in South Korea, it's more lively here!" ”

"How?" Oprah asked.

"It's just that there are a lot of entertainment memories here!" Yuan Bin smiled shyly, "Every time I go out, there are many people who follow, I'm not used to it!" ”

"What about you?" Oprah smiled and turned to Ha Ji Won.

"No?" Ha Ji Won simply shook his head.

"Why?" Oprah asked curiously: "Now you have the highest demand for Best Supporting Actress at the Golden Globe Awards, the Oscar nomination is basically stable, and your own acting skills are also amazing...... Is it the same reason as Yuan Bin! ”

"No," Ha Ji Won smiled, "The main thing is that my current career focus is not entirely on the acting career, you should know that L&L Fashion is one of the bosses, and then there are some other things ......!" ”

"Oh, that's it!" Oprah smiled, she didn't know that Ha Ji Won mainly wanted to watch the children at home, of course, she has now changed her main hobby to acting in movies has become a hobby, and she is now learning to enjoy life like Lee Chung-hee.

That's something she didn't understand before, or rather, she was forced by her previous life, so she couldn't think about it at all, she could only study and work hard, but those were actually for a better life after all.

"The love in Inception is not the same as you used to," Oprah turned to ask Lee Chung-hee, "Is this related to your engagement, but the Chicago Sun-Times said that your love story is not very optimistic!" ”

The Chicago Sun-Times wrote: Dr. Lee has just gotten engaged, but the film he made is the story of his wife's death, which is naturally a gimmick of bad taste, if it weren't for Oprah's joking, he wouldn't have bothered to answer anyone else.

But he didn't say anything, just a sentence, "It's really a waste of time to talk about love with those guys who don't understand love, or those who can't understand it!" ”

Oprah also knew that what he said just now was wrong, but it was recorded and could be cut, so he asked Yuan Bin by the way, "What about the two of you about love?" ”

"Look at fate!" Yuan Bin said lightly, and Ha Ji Yuan also answered by the way: "Me too, I think fate is more important!" ”

"You two look like there's something wrong!" Oprah laughed.

However, as soon as she said this, Ha Ji Won and Won Bin both laughed, and Lee Chung-hee looked at Oprah, who has always been eloquent, speechlessly, this is the United States, this is Oprah's casual style, and of course, there is also the editing team to help her.

"One last question,"

Almost three hours later, Oprah asked, "What is the final ending like?" ”

Lee Chung-hee was happy and shrugged, "That's it, isn't it in the camera, as for the rest, it's a secret, one day, I will tell everyone!" ”

After Oprah's talk show, the North American schedule is over, and the global schedule has just begun.

However, when Inception entered its third week, Lee Chung-hee returned to South Korea, and at this time, his main agenda was not to promote "Inception" and the album "Minecraft", but to promote PBS's year-end gala.

The 26th Acting Awards, the 28th Ballad Awards and the 31st Acting Awards are the first awards ceremony since the start of PBS, and it is also to pave the way for the upcoming film and music awards ceremony.

At the end of the year, Lee Chung-hee was really busy, and he didn't accept many invitations to award ceremonies, but some interviews had to be accepted, such as from China and Japan, which were all major TV stations, which were related to his image and popularity in those countries.

The image and popularity are continuous, and they need to be maintained all the time, and no matter how popular people are, once they lose their publicity, it is easy to fall silent.

Therefore, although he returned to South Korea, only the 26th, 27th, 28th, and 31st stayed in South Korea, and the rest of the days, he took the opportunity to fly to Japan and stayed there for two days.

In addition to interviewing in South Korea, the Chinese media will not be able to meet Chinese audiences until next year's trip to China.

At five o'clock in the afternoon on the 26th, today is the world of funny artists, however, because PBS is a subsidiary of Imperial Entertainment, and the boss of Imperial Entertainment is called Lee Chung-hee, today's celebration also has many big names in the music and film and television industries.

This point is still super early, but the media and fans here have already come early, and those artists who are light have come early.

Lee Chung-hee also came early, no way, he was for the success of the award ceremony, although he said that some of his subordinates had done a good job, but after all, it was the first time, and he was a little worried.

As the boss of his own family, PBS is naturally close to the water, and took the lead in catching him for an interview: "President, there are so many rumors outside, saying that our variety shows are too many and there are not enough awards, will there be double yolk eggs or something like that?" ”

"I don't know about that!"

Lee Chung-hee smiled, "The affairs of the broadcasting agency are decided by the personnel of the broadcasting agency, oh, by the way, this time there are 10,000 fans voting and 100 professionals voting, right, they are the ones who will decide the final result of this award ceremony!" ”

"Everybody is joking, what would you do if you won the prize yourself, or rather, how would you feel?"

"It's the same!" Lee Chung-hee smiled, "At the award ceremony, I am an ordinary artist, we don't engage in black-box operations, I am also very open-minded, if I win the award, I am also happy, and I will not lose my ...... if I don't win the award!" (To be continued......)
