Chapter 490 Second in North America Again, the price of hot energy has risen

"I'm a reporter for the Yomiuri Shimbun, so what do you think of your debut film, "The True Colors of Men", which is a huge hit in our Japanese film industry and has earned $29 million in two weeks?"

Hearing this Japanese reporter ask this question, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became hot, and a group of reporters who were originally very excited quietly lowered their voices, and all of them focused on the face of the dashing brother who was surrounded by bodyguards and assistants, and even Zhang Shaohan and Liu Yifei, who were very eye-catching around him, were ignored.

"Obviously, I'm very happy because this statistic is actually unexpected for me!"

Standing in front of the headquarters of Xinsuo Records, the chic brother said with a generous smile: "So I would like to take advantage of the platform of your newspaper to thank those Japanese fans who support this movie, thank you for your love, and please continue to support my works in the future!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, before he could take time to take the two female stars around him to step into Xinsuo Records, another reporter shouted loudly: "Mr. Tang, I am a special correspondent for the New York Times in China, do you think the movie you starred in has any hope of breaking the record of $128 million for the highest-grossing Chinese film in North America achieved by "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" in the North American market?" ”

Well, it seems that my brother has to stay and talk a few more words today!

Someone who wanted to leave with the two beauties sighed secretly, because he saw the faces of several foreign journalists, these people were probably reporters sent by world-renowned media, he couldn't be too high-minded, after all, the movie was still being screened around the world. He was also happy to get these reporters to say more good things. That will definitely make the movie look better at the box office.

Thereupon. He whispered to Zhang Shaohan and Liu Yifei: "Two beauties, you go up with my assistant first!" I answered a few questions and came up and started recording! ”

After he finished speaking, Li Minghao immediately made a serious gesture of please, and then saw Zhang Shaohan glance at Liu Yifei who was smiling, nodded and followed, and then Liu Yifei glanced at someone who was forced to calm down, and he also followed.

Damn, they can't go!

The reporters in the entertainment industry were excited. I can't wait to rush up and intercept Zhang Shaohan and Liu Yifei, because they have 10,000 questions to ask!

But they couldn't really take action, and just when the reporters were in a commotion, Brother Xiao spoke.

"I didn't think you would come to China to interview me, and I am deeply honored!"

The dashing brother smiled to express his feelings, and then in the smile of the white reporter, he continued: "For the North American box office, I am actually quite satisfied, because in the original vision, the film was not scheduled to be released on a large scale in the United States at all. After all, everyone on earth knows that Hollywood movies are the mainstream movies now. Coupled with the differences between Eastern and Western cultures, we're not too sure if American audiences will like it too! ”

"But it's still the No. 2 box office chart in North America this week, with a 19% drop from last week!"

"Yes, I know, it's a good thing indeed!"

For the white reporter's supplementary explanation, Brother Xiao smiled a little happier, because on the North American box office list this week, the movie "Man" actually earned 28.91 million US dollars again, which is only 19% lower than the box office of last week's opening week, and once again beat many Hollywood-made movies, and continued to occupy the second place in the North American box office list.

Undoubtedly, this is quite staggering, the main reason is that the drop is too small, some media would have predicted that it would drop by more than 50%, because someone's fans have already seen it, and if there are no other factors, the movie should definitely be taken off soon.

The only pity is that "The Simpsons", an animated film that has fascinated countless Americans, has only been released for two days, and it has achieved a box office of nearly 72 million US dollars, directly driving down "The True Colors of Men", which was originally ranked first in the first five days, and also directly announced a regrettable news for many Chinese fans, This Chinese action film that has attracted strong attention in North America has no hope of getting the first place in a single week.

Of course, being able to win a total box office of 64.7 million US dollars in North America in two weeks has obviously made fans of "The True Color of Men", especially its creators, distributors, and investors excited, after all, this is close to 500 million yuan! If you add 85 million in the third week in the mainland and 105 million in the second week in Japan, this movie with an investment of only 60 million Hong Kong dollars, his return ratio has exceeded 1:20!

Yes, these reporters will be so excited that they will come to chase someone again, not because they know that someone is with two beautiful stars, but because this Hong Kong Huanyu movie publicly stated in the morning that the global box office of this drama has exceeded 1.3 billion yuan, and it is expected that when the painting is fully drawn, "The True Colors of Men" is likely to exceed 1.5 billion, that is, 190 million US dollars, becoming the second highest-grossing Chinese film after "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" 7 years ago! ”

Therefore, Brother Chic's mood is very happy, although it is a pity that he can't reach the top of the North American box office list for a week, and it is a pity that he probably can't really exceed the total box office of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" of 1.763 billion yuan, but no matter what, he also deserves to laugh happily.

You must know a fact, at the beginning, this drama only dared to shout out a box office of 150 million yuan, which means that the investor will make a small profit at most, maybe 1, 20 million, but now thanks to the blessing of his appeal, plus the quality of the movie is indeed much higher than originally expected, so now, this movie is actually expected to exceed 1.5 billion yuan, which means that investors and distributors have to make crazy money!

Of course, it's true that they are making crazy money, but that's just a one-shot deal, and he doesn't say whether he will get the additional bonus from Huanyu Film Company, the key is that he has now become the most appealing superstar in the Asian film industry, and in the world, he has also become another famous and appealing movie superstar.

Even the Hollywood Reporter, a large professional newspaper with great weight in the global entertainment industry, said: "China's Tang can now raise prices, because he can make a low-end commercial film with an investment of less than 9 million US dollars sell nearly 200 million US dollars at the global box office, and this return on investment ratio is completely enough to prove that his box office appeal is by no means inferior to Brad. Pete, Tom. Cruise, Johnny. Depp ...... This series of male superstars, he joins any movie now, will definitely make this work win at the starting line, I believe this will definitely make Hollywood's gold medal producers and large studios excited! Because they have one more choice, and he is very handsome and all-round, he may be able to try it in any movie. ”

is not only a professional report in Hollywood, but also published this kind of report that makes many chic people enthusiastic, and in the domestic "China Film Report", there is also the motto of its editor-in-chief: "Yes, this is his harvest, although it seems that he suffered a big loss when he joined "The True Colors of Men" with an after-tax salary of 2.88 million Hong Kong dollars, but if we take a long-term view, we will find a very amazing fact, that is, he Tang Xiaosa (Chinese Tang) name, Now that he has become a diamond-like dazzling golden signboard, he can now shout out the price of $20 million + global box office revenue dividends like Hollywood powerful + idol superstars, because he has proven himself, and this is the proof of his price increase. ”

Well, that's all out of the way, and the topic comes back to the scene.

"I'm happy with this fact, because my most optimistic prediction is that the box office will fall by less than 35%, and this is also the average decline in the box office of the average Hollywood commercial blockbuster in the second week, even the super-big Star Wars franchise is no exception." ”

"Do you think the week's decline will increase dramatically? And when is your first big Hollywood production going to come? ”

"Man, that's three questions!"

Brother Chic had to remind him, otherwise if the rules were broken, how could he fix it in the future?

Then, he looked at the reporter with his hands folded and smiled, nodded and said, "Okay, for the sake of your question, everyone wants to know, but not for example!" ”

Then he said in the boos of some domestic tabloid reporters: "To be honest, I only recently understand a little bit about the rules of the North American box office list, and I am not very clear, so I can't say whether the North American box office will drop dramatically this week, that is, in the third week, but there should always be $15 million, right?" ”

"This number is very likely, and the rate of decline is exactly about 45%!" A quick reporter interjected and shouted.

Brother Chic shrugged, skipped the question directly, and said very frankly: "As for my first Hollywood work, I can only say that filming will start soon...... You don't have to ask who its investment company is, or how much it invests, these questions are not the time to come out! ”

Just when the reporters almost jumped up, Brother Xiao suddenly changed his face, with an expression that he had nothing to say, and after finishing speaking, he directly ignored the anxious appearance of the reporters, and said bluntly: "I don't have a director I want to work with, because I don't know them well, my main job now is my second record, and when I'm done with it, I will definitely take the initiative to tell everyone the truth about this new movie, okay, that's all for today, let's disperse!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, without waiting for the reporters to react, he immediately strode towards the office building of Xinsuo Records, and then the three bodyguards who had been waiting on the side for a long time and Zhao Zhenwu immediately joined forces to block the reporters' steps that they wanted to catch up.
