Chapter 671: A New Peak at the Box Office

"The Matrix" grossed $200 million in three days, which made everyone feel a heartfelt shock.

This is an even more impressive performance than the box office performance of "Batman: The Dark Knight".

And the box office of the first week of "The Matrix" was not only in North America, the film was overseas, and the Chinese box office that has caused a huge response after its release also received 289 million US dollars.

As a result, in the first three days, the world box office of "The Matrix" reached 502 million US dollars!

This box office is really blinding, and everyone knows that it seems that there should be no problem for "The Matrix" to surpass "Batman: The Dark Knight" at the final box office.

"Batman: The Dark Knight" ended up grossing more than a billion dollars, and now it will be fairly easy for "The Matrix" to exceed a billion dollars at the box office.

A billion dollars is not an easy thing to do, but right now, there should be no problem for The Matrix to exceed a billion dollars.

"The Matrix" has a relatively high box office and a good reputation because the movie has a relatively high box office, so the next film schedule and the box office of the movie still have a pretty good box office growth.

In the second week, the weekly box office of "The Matrix" in North America was $87 million, the box office in the entire world also reached $388 million, and the cumulative world box office also reached $890 million, which is only a little bit away from $1 billion.

And, it was during this week that a lot of The Matrix was revealed to the world. The influence of this movie has spread to the whole world, and people all over the world are watching "The Matrix" and are shocked by the things shown in "The Matrix".

"'The Matrix' is an amazing movie. I've never seen anything like this great sci-fi idea, and I think The Matrix will have a huge impact on the whole world of cinema in the future. ”

"An extraordinarily good movie, "The Matrix" makes us all understand Li Chencan's growing film creativity."

...... "The Matrix" was a storm in the whole world, and this storm brought a lot of powerful things, so that the box office of the movie continued to rise, and at the same time, the movie left a fairly high reputation.

The box office and word-of-mouth of "The Matrix" are too high. So that the whole world is now talking about the Matrix.

By the third week, "The Matrix" had grossed $421 million at the North American box office, making it one of the few films to gross more than $400 million.

The capacity of the North American box office is large though. But a movie can get a box office of 200 million US dollars, which is already very remarkable, let alone the current 400 million US dollars.

But it's exactly this kind of box office. can be worthy of the current movie reputation.

And "The Matrix" has accumulated such a high box office. It also brought huge benefits to the fireworks film company.

Since then, the box office of "The Matrix" has been growing, and finally the cumulative North American box office of this film reached 458 million US dollars, becoming the box office champion in the North American market later this year.

The cumulative world box office of the film eventually reached 1.587 billion US dollars, making it one of the few films in recent years to grossed more than 1.5 billion US dollars.

Such a high box office has also brought great value to Fireworks Film Company.

The box office of the movie is too high, so the value it brings to Fireworks Films is also unprecedentedly high.

Judging from the box office of "The Matrix" and the various negotiations that are currently underway, "The Matrix" can finally bring the entire fireworks film company $600 million. Such a high box office will turn "The Matrix" into a cash cow for fireworks film companies.

Fireworks Film Company is also in the direction of the six major Hollywood companies. Another big step forward.

Further back, the fireworks film company will reach a rather terrifying level.

After the box office influence of "The Matrix" and the influence brought by word-of-mouth gradually became stronger and stronger, Li Chencan's affairs in the United States were temporarily completed, so by August, Li Chencan returned to China as quickly as possible.

Li Chencan has just returned to China, and he was immediately known by Chinese fans.

For a while, almost all the media were paying attention to Li Chencan's return to China.

Li Chencan's return to China is mainly to start filming "The King of Comedy".

The filming preparation for "The King of Comedy" has basically been completed, and the next step is to shoot directly.

The preparation for the filming of the movie was already set by Li Chencan when he arrived in the United States, so the preparation for the filming of this movie has now been completed.

"Old Tang, how are you preparing?" After Li Chencan returned to China, he immediately found Tang Wenqing to inquire about the current matter.

Tang Wenqing looked at Li Chencan with a smile: "What do you say?" ”

"I guess it's about the same." At this time, Li Chencan also said with a smile.

"In the past few months, I have been able to memorize the script almost backwards...... Well, I also went to mix with a group of extras for more than half a month, and I can almost master the things in the movie roles. ”

"Of course I'm at ease with you." Li Chencan said with a smile.

Indeed, he also believes in Tang Wenqing's attitude, after so many movies, the quality of his films, at least the quality of his performances, is quite high.

The next "King of Comedy" should be very simple to shoot.

Soon, the news that "The King of Comedy" is about to officially start filming was released in the entire Chinese film industry, and now all fans in the Chinese film industry know the film "The King of Comedy".

"Finally, Li Chencan is now also an American movie, followed by a Chinese movie, and basically every one of them is a good movie."

"The name of the film "The King of Comedy" is a little strange, I don't know what story Li Chencan wants to tell? With Tang Wenqing's words...... should be at least a pretty good movie, Li Chencan + Tang Wenqing, this combination can definitely really bring you a strong shock. ”

"The combination of Tang Wenqing and Li Chencan will definitely bring a very strong boost to a movie like "The King of Comedy". This movie is what I'm looking forward to the most. ”

…… On August 20, the launch conference of "The King of Comedy" was officially held in Nankun, and the film will be filmed in this city.

The story is set in modern times, so a lot of things need to be changed.

This is mainly the background and some details of the original movie, which need Li Chencan to make changes.

However, Li Chencan is used to doing these things, he has shot so many movies, and every detail of the box office of all the movies has been rearranged. Including the previous "Batman: The Dark Knight", as well as other movies, especially films such as "Infernal Affairs" and "Saving Private Ryan", he has made huge deletions to the background and changed a lot of things, so now Li Chencan is also relatively familiar with the deletion and modification of the background when filming "The King of Comedy".

During Li Chencan's time in the United States, in addition to being busy with the affairs of "The Matrix", he was writing the script after the adaptation of "The King of Comedy", and he was also drawing the storyboard script of "The King of Comedy".

Up to now, the storyboard and script of "The King of Comedy" that Li Chencan has on hand add up to hundreds of pages.

This is indeed a huge project, but for Li Chencan, who is used to it, it is not so difficult.

After such a period of hard work, Li Chencan also has a certain idea of his current version of "The King of Comedy" in this world, and the shooting plan has basically been expressed.

There are a lot of reporters here today, and now these reporters are basically focusing on Li Chencan, which is also their consistent style.

"Director Li, what kind of story does "The King of Comedy" mainly tell?" The reporters said a word to Li Chencan.

This is also a question that everyone is very curious about, because before this, Li Chencan and they did not disclose any information about "The King of Comedy" at all.

So, taking advantage of this kind of press conference, of course, everyone will not let it go.

After Li Chencan heard this question, he nodded slightly, and then said: "That's it, this is a movie that tells the story of an actor...... The protagonist Yin Tianqiu is a dragon actor struggling at the bottom, his main business is a staff member of the neighborhood committee, but he is committed to being an actor, so, in order to be able to accomplish his goal, Yin Tianqiu met many people in the middle, and many stories happened. ”

Li Chencan said it very generally, but everyone can also feel that this should really be a pretty good movie.

After all, this is Li Chencan's film.

Someone began to ask Tang Wenqing at this time: "Why did you decide to retire from filming, but you want to make "The King of Comedy" your own film work?" Why did you decide to make this film? ”

"Because Director Li moved me! It's an unbeatable story! Tang Wenqing faced the camera and said unabashedly: "This story makes me feel like I may be familiar, it has mobilized a lot of memories in my heart, and the most important thing is the story of this movie, which makes me deeply touched, so I am also very grateful to Director Li for giving me such an opportunity." I can assure you that "The King of Comedy" must be a good movie that is beyond the ordinary. ”

Hearing Tang Wenqing's evaluation, everyone has greater expectations for this movie. (To be continued......)
