882: Suddenly

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

Returning to North America, even though "Breaking Dawn" (below) has a large number of highlights that the previous work did not have, such as dream weddings, honeymoon wetness, passionate bed-drama, pregnancy and childbirth, etc., "Breaking Dawn" (above) lags behind "New Moon" in various indicators of the box office.

As Li Donglai guessed, the reputation is mixed. But the fight scenes have been greatly praised, and those who have seen it say that the vampire battle has been upgraded, the space is more open, and the action is full of imagination, tension, and beauty.

This is not something that anyone can do, watching Li Donglai's action scenes, there is always a sense of openness and pleasing to the eye. Of course, it is not uncommon for oriental action design to be better than Hollywood.

Li Donglai's famous action design has also become more famous in Hollywood. People can't help but look forward to more from the upcoming "Avengers". "Los Angeles Times" even bluntly said that Li Donglai is a part-time action director to inject vitality into the sluggish reputation of this idol movie, but the corruption has become a reality, and even the ghost director Li Donglai is powerless to recover the lost reputation.

However, for idol movies. Word of mouth, in fact, is not important.

The main box office force of the "Twilight" series, the female audience, has not decreased, and judging from the statistical results, the popularity rate of female audiences is still high, and it has always remained at the shocking level of 80. The only change is that the audience is getting "younger", and the proportion of viewers over 21 has gradually dropped from the earliest 65 to 50, which is not a good sign.

Compared with the "Harry Potter" series, it can be seen that the proportion of "elderly" viewers of the spectacle wizard has increased over time, which shows that a large number of haha-ha people have moved from teenagers to young adults as they grow older, but they have no tendency to abandon the show. The opposite is true for Twilight, where a mature audience is gradually losing as we get older. Although new forces continue to settle in, it is indeed an indisputable fact that "Breaking Dawn" lost to "New Moon".

Of course, this period does not rule out "laziness before the finale", last year's "Harry Potter 7" (above) also had such a "not high, not low" situation, plus there is no 3D theater blessing, it is better to take $300 million as a conservative goal first!

The "Happy Feet 2", which was released at the same time, was released in 3,606 theaters in North America under the strong distribution of Warner, and under the devastation of "Breaking Dawn" (above), it only earned $22.02 million in three days over the weekend, which was only about half of the 41.5 million opening box office of the first part of the series.

But it's obviously unfair to blame "Breaking Dawn" for the sluggish box office in the first week, because "Breaking Dawn" focuses on 2D theaters, but "Happy Feet 2" has 2,825 3D screens, accounting for more than half of the total release scale!

So the decline in the attractiveness of the film itself is the crux of the problem.

3D has entered the lives of movie fans, but it will not be as popular as it was when it first came out. It's not just a movie that can be changed to a 3D format to make a lot of money. Compared with the beginning, people also feel more and more the excitement of the special effects of "Avatar", although its box office impact has been strong, it has not changed its status in 3D movies.

"Kung Fu Panda 2" accumulated $260 million in North America and continued to hover in the TOP10, ranking 5th this weekend.

……

Hesitating Emma's vinegar jar broke out, Li Donglai had to take her to his side and take her to film. He knows what he is doing, it is really wrong, and he should not stimulate a pregnant woman who is very sensitive. Even if it is very troublesome to stay around and take care of it while filming, and it makes many people laugh, he doesn't care about it.

"Life is bigger than heaven."

At this time, his stomach is big, and if there is an accident, it is very likely to be the end of one corpse and two lives, and he does not catch this risk. So I rented a villa near the Boston crew, and took Glacia, Charlie, the Golden Lion King and two koalas from home, and temporarily moved in to take care of her for childbirth.

In this way, Li Donglai didn't have much chance to have a private meeting with Blake Freley, but he was destined to be a lonely person, and only they knew what happened during the period.

Due to frequent absences, the crew of "Teddy Bear" is progressing quickly, but it will not be as smooth as "The Social Network".

Discussed some shooting plans with Seth, and this voice actor really helped him a lot in this movie. At this time, he has basically played the role of his assistant director, and kept the filming progress of "Teddy Bear" from dragging on too hard.

The next week, the North American box office champion was still "Twilight 4: Breaking Dawn" (above), which "earned all the love and tears of girls", and "Breaking Dawn" (above) added 5 new theaters this week for a small-scale expansion. The following week, the weekend and three days again recorded $42 million, down 69.6 from the first week, basically the same as "New Moon" of 70, and the total box office revenue reached $221 million.

But on this more festive day, another crew reappeared in the bloody disaster.

- "The Expendables 2"!

This crew Stallone has been looking for it many times, and Li Donglai really can't vacate the schedule, and he already has the intention of resigning from the role. Only promised to make a cameo, and not as one of the leading actors like last time.

And the crew is destined to have a bad year this year.

Less than a month ago, a crew member named Mike-Huber accidentally fell due to a lift tipping while disassembling set props, and died after treatment failed, after Chinese stuntman Liu Kun died due to accidental injuries in the explosion.

This is already the second homicide case that occurred in the crew of "The Expendables 2" in one room, it is reported that after the accident, the crew has stopped filming, and the relevant investigation agencies have been stationed, and the person in charge said that he would fully cooperate with the investigation. The jury is still out on when the resumption of work will be made, but the release date on June 29, 2012 will not be changed. The identity of the actor is too small, and under the capital floodgate of Hollywood, it is destined not to set off many storms, and only those who are familiar with it will mourn it.

Li Donglai was in a heavy mood, when he filmed "The Expendables" for the first time, because of the relationship between the faces of the Chinese stuntmen in the crew, he had communicated with this actor, and he knew each other. But I didn't expect to die before I saw him again the following year.

"What happened?" Seeing Li Dong looking at the news on the tablet with a heavy expression, Emma asked with concern.

Li Donglai said in a heavy tone: "An actor in "The Expendables 2" died unexpectedly, and this person has worked with me. ”

"Ahh Emma was taken aback, "GOD." She was a little overwhelmed, she didn't expect to get up early in the morning and encounter such a thing. Seeing Li Donglai sitting in a chair in a depressed mood, she was a little overwhelmed. was stunned, so I had to hug him from behind and silently accompany him to feel nostalgic.

Li Donglai patted her on the back and signaled that he was fine. In front of the corridor window, he took out his phone and called Stallone, "Stallone, about Liu Kun's matter, I want to know how the crew solved it...... Insurance? NO, not enough. I hope the crew can do something, not only humanitarian, but also to show respect for the vast number of staff who are silently fighting behind the scenes...... "They talked for a long time before putting down the phone. Then I called the crew, and today the whole crew had a day off to mourn for an unknown stuntman.

Maybe this actor just came to Hollywood from far away China to pan for gold, maybe his family's living conditions are not good, but for such a compatriot who used to be shy and joke with him, it is always difficult for people to accept it for a while.

Li Donglai stayed alone in the study, contacted the actors' union, found the contact information of his home, and brought a greeting to the strange compatriot family. "Ms. Chen, it's sad to hear this news, I also communicated with him when I was filming last year...... You have a newborn daughter......"

"Oh my God!"

Emma, who was standing in the doorway, suddenly covered her mouth, the sad news was really sad, and it was when she was pregnant and waiting to give birth. "Honey, what can we do?"

Li Donglai shook his head helplessly, "Someone will do it, at least to ensure that his family is worry-free." ”

He searched his computer and remembered that there seemed to be a group photo, and he didn't know if it was still there. After looking for a long time, I finally found it. Then he posted these group photos on his Twitter, Facebook, personal official website and other media that could be made public, writing some words of condolence.

When no one reported in Hollywood, he reported it himself, and although it didn't make the slightest sense, it would at least give comfort to the righteous indignation.

With 50 million followers on Twitter and more than 80 million followers on Weibo in China, the broadcast is even more powerful than the propaganda of some countries. The reporters were puzzled at first, seeing Li Donglai suddenly post such a photo on his platform, and then seeing those words of condolence, they knew that an unknown actor had died. Then I learned that the crew of "Teddy Bear" was shut down today, and mourned for this unknown actor, so I immediately had a topic to start some reports.

Many fans felt that the idol was in a bad mood and left messages of relief. Some people also sent him messages and called to comfort him, but it was not him who needed comfort, but the mother and daughter. He was annoyed, but luckily he turned off his phone.

Li Donglai also reflected on whether he didn't care enough about the people around him because he had expanded too quickly over the years.

Suddenly someone from the villa visited, Charlie invited in only to find out that it was Blake Freyely, she learned the reason why she didn't shoot today, called Li Donglai to turn off the phone, only to realize that something was wrong, and regardless of how Emma would feel about herself, she came to see in person.

"I'm fine, I'm fine."

Li Donglai comforted.

Seeing that the family was sad because of his poor feelings, even the golden lion king in the room seemed to feel the atmosphere strict, and he no longer barked like a lion. It's not good for him to continue to bask in his sudden sadness.

The only people in the room who were in the best mood were Tom and Jerry, two brainless guys, who were still climbing happily on the wooden trees and vines.

"Blake, thank you for coming to see me. Tom Jerry, come, sell a cute! Guests are welcome. He grabbed two chubby koalas and hugged them on his shoulders, causing the two little ones to giggle and protest.

"Don't be sad, dear. If a man dies and cannot be resurrected, God will bless him. Emma made a prayer gesture.

Li Donglai smiled: "I'm fine." By the way, do I have something important to hide from you? ”

Emma and Blake were stunned, not knowing why.

Li Donglai suddenly felt a sense of urgency and wanted to share his secret with someone close to him.

Look at the day, it's a good day.

"Well, it's time for you to know......" (To be continued)
