Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

The fire was expected, but it did not affect the success of Li Donglai's documentary.

Many celebrities recommended and countless fans had a beautiful vision of "meeting idols", and the box office was high. But this week, it was really turbulent and strong.

From June 21, 2o13 to June 23, 2o13, the North American box office announced that in the case of strong competitors, Disney Pixar's 2o13 summer animation masterpiece "Monsters University" was released in 4oo4 theaters in North America; The zombie apocalyptic thriller "Doomsday", co-produced by Phantom/Project B and starring Brad Pitt, was also released on a large scale in 36o7 theaters before this weekend.

Not only are the new films ferocious, but the old ones are not willing to retreat.

Among them is "I Thought It Was That" "The Demon Thieves", this week is the fourth consecutive week of release, the North American box office fell slightly, and this week it collected another $12.29 million, achieving a breakthrough of $119 million at the North American box office, and the global box office has also steadily entered the ranks of $380 million, which is really a reverse growth. The number of moviegoers is increasing, and although this fast-paced magic-themed movie is not new in terms of story, the plots such as acrobatics and magic bank theft are gradually spreading on the Internet, attracting many fans to watch the movie, so that the decline of the movie is not large.

Not only after the fourth week of release in North America, it reversed "Degree and Passion 6", but also infinitely approached the 13.29 million box office of "The End of the World" in the second week of Sony's release.

This achievement is enough for the Phantom to have a celebration party.

In particular, AB was even more overjoyed, and she herself became popular in the United States because of this movie. She was ranked twelfth among the world's most beautiful female stars in a new round of selection by American media fashion magazines, and ranked first in China.

It doesn't matter how authoritative the magazine is. Anyway, the media is so urine. Someone commented that you are the first beauty in China, you just have to steal the fun yourself, and you still have to distinguish which ones? So AB was so lucky to become "China's No. 1 Beauty", and her worth rose sharply.

Another new film this week is "Doomsday War", which is an "epic" zombie-themed apocalyptic action, which unites Li Donglai and Brad Pitt, and has attracted much attention from the beginning of filming.

This film is adapted from the science fiction novel of the same name by Max Brooks, and is adapted by Li Donglai, the Oscar-winning screenwriter.

Because the novel uses a lot of interludes and flashbacks. And there is no clear protagonist to tell the story - the protagonist in the novel is just a thread that connects other characters and stories, not a "narrator" in the typical sense.

Li Donglai has adapted the structure of the novel to a certain extent and reintegrated the material. Let the protagonist played by Brad Pitt become the protagonist in the true sense of the word. This is the premise that the film is enjoyable, and secondly, it is also to be able to highlight the character played by Brad Pitt. Stars such as James Begge Dyer, Matthew Fox, David Morse and more will also join the team.

Of course, there is also Li Donglai's zombie wavelet ss. Caused a lot of trouble for the main character. In the end, he was hung up by the protagonist's headshot.

Two trailers have been released before, both of which have caused a lot of shock around the world.

The first trailer presents the "world" of this zombie war to the audience in a panoramic way, which is different from the small pattern of traditional zombie films, and the group of corpses created by CG is full of impact, zombies are coming like locusts, and the corpses are piled up on the Great Wall, which truly magnifies the zombie film to the level of a disaster movie. And Brad Pitt's two-pronged action line and family line in the film is exciting. Pitt's beloved wife, played by Miri Enos, the heroine of the hit American drama "Murder", will fall into a life-and-death separation with Pete.

From the trailer, the audience can also see another dà adaptation of this film, where the zombies are all walking like flying. This change may be opposed by many zombie fans, as in previous zombie movies, zombies are very slow to move.

But this is set by Li Donglai, which is a major innovation of zombie films, and in the behind-the-scenes interview video of the trailer, he also explained the reason for this setting, "We can't limit ourselves to the scale in front of us, and making zombies powerful is a subversive treatment (in fact, it has already appeared in "Dawn of the Living Dead", "28 Days of Shock", and "I Am Legend"). Judging from the interviews with producers/screenwriters/directors, it is likely that there is more than one type of zombie in the film, or that the zombies themselves can adjust their own degrees.

This short 34-second trailer is shocking, and the theme idea expressed to fans is one word, which is quite spectacular. The trailer begins with a line from Brad Pitt "what's going on", followed by the whole city starting to shake, the film features mountains of zombies climbing up the wall, cities falling, and elite units with ultimate weapons.

I believe that "World War Z" will be the grandest scene of all zombie movies.

The film was first acquired by Brad Pitt's company in 2o11, and then found the Phantom, teamed up with Li Donglai, and was finally invested in filming last year, which can be described as a good thing.

It is also worth mentioning that the biggest difference between "World War Z" and other zombie films is that it is based on the theme of politics, and the original book depicts this zombie crisis in China, and also touches on sensitive topics such as West and Tibet. If World War Z is a box office success, there will be two more sequels to follow, making up a complete trilogy.

In the past two years, all kinds of zombie-themed films have emerged in an endless stream, and the genre is not just a simple horror film, and "World War Z" obviously cannot be simply classified as a doomsday-themed sci-fi film or a horror zombie movie.

If the American drama "The Walking Dead", which was broadcast by Phantom and AMC TV, reflects the changes in the worldview and values of mankind in the context of the apocalypse from the perspective of a small team of survivors, then "World War Z" stands on another level, reflecting on some problems of today's human society and warning the future of this society.

This may be the most in-depth and distinctive zombie film of all time, breaking through the story mode of traditional zombie films trapped in one place and asking for help.

When it was released in North America, Lee Dong-lai, although he only made a cameo appearance in the movie, played the role of a zombie wavelet. But when he walked the red carpet with Brad, he was neck and neck.

Two giants, playing together. Take on Disney-Pixar's "Monsters University".

Playing handsome together, the limelight is unlimited, and naturally there are many topics.

The handsome old guy Brad Pitt has been popular for so many years, and the older he gets, the more attractive he becomes. In addition, Li Donglai's documentary is being screened all over the world, which may break the box office record of the documentary, and it is the focus of attention of global entertainment media. The two joined forces to make news, and it became a global entertainment hotspot that day.

The film was released on the same day as Disney Pixar's "Monsters University". But the media on the side of "World War Z" is far more than "Monsters University". After all, no matter how appealing the voice actor chosen by the cartoon star is, he can't see his face. Naturally, it is not as topical as Li Donglai + Brad Pitt.

But don't think that these media are all for you to cheer on. If the movie is not good. It is guaranteed that the next day Phantom and Plan B, Li Donglai and Brad Pitt will be scolded bloody.

The screening began, and the cinema quickly fell silent.

Meanwhile. The film was also screened on the same day in South Korea. Yoona specially pulled her harem group Jessica and Kwon Yoo-ri. also took a little favor and sneaked into the cinema to watch a movie together.

And at Hollywood screenings, because of the fear of being robbed of the limelight of the movie. So Angelina Jolie and Emma Watson, who wanted to help set off the red carpet, also declined their kindness, believing that the movie would not disappoint the audience.

Hollywood has traveled to this day, and I believe that everyone has long watched the "zombie" theme movie and does not want to watch it anymore, which is nothing more than an inexplicable infection begins, and the government epidemic prevention department is helpless, and the large-scale infection has exploded.

Red syrup spilled the entrails of the severed limbs everywhere. A large number of extras who applied white foundation, painted black circles under their eyes, and got some blood stains on the stage, walked with their limbs drooping, and staggered with inexplicable noises in their mouths. The protagonists then work in groups of several to huddle in small spaces (such as the city) in an attempt to escape.

And "Doomsday War" can attract money like crazy, becoming the first place on the zombie-themed opening list, the second on the disaster-themed opening list (second to "The Day After Tomorrow") and the third place in the post-apocalyptic theme (second to "The Hunger Games" and "I Am Legend"), thanks to the Phantom breaking the old shackles of Hollywood's seven majors, the appeal of the Phantom Li Donglai plus Brad Pitt's personal appeal, and the epic momentum of the film "World War"!

Let's talk about Comrade Pitt first, although Uncle Pitt has aged with visible eye in recent years, the calmness of his performance style and the atmosphere of his personality are increasing day by day, and the bad boys in Hollywood back then now all exude the kindness of a good father and a good husband.

From "Rejuvenation" in 2oo8 to "Inglourious Basterds" in 2oo9, from "Tree of Life" and "Moneyball" in 2o11 to "Gentle Killing" in 2o12, Pete's selling point is no longer his handsome face and toned body, but gradually turning into middle-aged charismatic character acting, which can be described as a teaching version of "idol to powerful", and his sitting in itself is the biggest bargaining chip in "Doomsday War".

On the other hand, no matter how the "zombie" theme film is set, the investment cost has always stayed at the "small-scale" level. This also determines the "small family spirit" of the film!

Looking at zombie movies in recent years, the "Resident Evil" series, "Zombie Land" and even "Warm Corpse" filmed by Phantom are just "small fights", even if "Biohazard" often travels around the world to try to create an "epic" atmosphere, but the inferior makeup and "elegant" Uncle Ergou still ruthlessly betray the cheap nature of this series.

In contrast, with the Phantom, a new company that is willing to make money and has great courage, "Doomsday War", which has a huge investment of 190 million US dollars, is naturally different, and has been positioned as "or1ar" from the beginning of the project!

The depiction of the grand "battle" scene is even more shocking, and the box office will naturally go up!

After the release of the movie, the impact was not as good as it was.

The flood of zombies engulfed the entire city, and even the flying helicopters could not escape their clutches.

swept away the weak characteristics of the previous "zombie theme" fights, and rendered the apocalyptic crisis, zombies everywhere, and gunsmoke everywhere, which made people feel bleak. Brad Pitt plays a United Nations worker in the film who struggles to survive in the last days. At the same time, the story is also about politics and human nature.

On the weekend, 36O7 theaters collected $86.41 million at the box office, and the single-store results were also as high as about $21,000, far from industry expectations. This opening result also helped the Phantom to become the box office champion, giving the Phantom its third box office title of the year, and also setting the best box office record for the zombie genre.

But then again, the $190 million cost investment has also become a heavy burden for the film, and although the weekly box office is high, such post-apocalyptic themes do not have strong long-term marketing capabilities ("I Am Legend" is an exception).

Recovering the cost of the film is difficult, and if the Phantom wants to make money, it must commit to the global market. (To be continued......)
