Chapter 218. 【Father of Singing and Dance】

In the past, when Yi Feiyang watched TV and movies, he saw that a group of Hollywood celebrities hugged each other as soon as they appeared, and there were countless bodyguards, and he felt very funny and ridiculous, thinking that these people were playing big names and putting on a show. But now Yi Feiyang knows the importance of having several important bodyguards around him.

First, they can be used as shields to block the harassment of journalists.

Second, you can use them as meat shields, and use them to block the personal attacks of those bad guys.

Third, you can use them as your own brand, as soon as you see them, you will let people know, look, the big director Yi Feiyang has come out, and occasionally he can play tricks to tune the tiger from the mountain......

In short, it is necessary and necessary to hire a few capable bodyguards, and I have two dollars in my hand now, and I can't be too shabby when I appear.

When Yi Feiyang said this idea, he first got the consent of the Chinatown camel master, and then the camel master began to be selfless, and introduced his second aunt's nephew to the nephew, saying that this kid's name is Tang Long, who learned kung fu from snacks and night porridge, and is very skilled, and now he just wants to come to the United States to develop.

Yi Feiyang looked at the photo, and the photo showed a very thin young man.

The camel master said again, "Don't look at him thin, he is full of muscles all over his body, and what he is best at is the very aggressive mantis boxing!" ”

Yi Feiyang smiled bitterly, "The question is, I need someone now, when will he come to the United States?" ”

Master Camel: "I can't tell, it's just seven or eight days." ”

Yi Feiyang said helplessly: "Okay, I'll take a look when he comes to the United States." ”

Yi Feiyang finally prevaricated the camel master, after all, the old man's enthusiasm is still commendable. But that thin man Tang Long. No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like it's material for being a bodyguard. He was too thin, and when he took it out, he thought he had abused his subordinates and didn't give them food.

The matter of hiring bodyguards has been revealed for the time being.

Another week has passed.

Within a week, the craze for "Dance Floor Brawl" had not subsided, on the contrary, many people joined the crowd as the release of the film expanded. Especially those teenagers who love dance on the street, they make watching "Dance Floor Brawl" a compulsory lesson for themselves, if you haven't seen this play. It's hard to say that you're dancing.

Of course, they didn't just watch it, they also used it in practice, learning from Annie and the masked dancers in the movie, and dancing cool street dance.

Hip-hop, an originally inconspicuous word, instantly became a popular password in North America, and as long as you turn it on, you will involuntarily dance with the trend.

And Mike, Annie and others who started this trend. was extremely admired, and concocted this big show. And launched Mike and Annie, the "hip-hop stars" of China-Yi Feiyang, who is also respected as the "father of hip-hop"!

Yes! Yi Feiyang added another title to the name of "Father of Chainsaw", which is the "Father of Hip-hop"!

At the same time, the long-awaited North American weekly box office rankings are finally out!

No. 1 in the weekly box office list in North America, produced by Warner Studios, the sci-fi blockbuster "The Matrix 2", weekly box office: $43.55 million.

(In its previous life, "The Matrix 2" had a total budget of $200 million and grossed more than $735 million worldwide, making it the most successful R-rated film in film history and winning the Academy Award for Best Special Effects.) )

No. 2 in the weekly box office list in North America, produced by Dream Pictures, the song and dance film "Dance Floor Competition", with a weekly box office of 43.23 million US dollars.

(If you add the overseas box office, it is about the same as Yi Feiyang's estimate, and the total box office this week has reached an astonishing $117 million!) )

No. 3 in the weekly box office list in North America, produced by Disney Studios, the animated blockbuster "Elf Mouse Brother", weekly box office: 31.38 million US dollars.

(In the previous life, since the film was officially released in the United States on December 17, it has swept the American film market, maintaining the top box office ranking in the United States for several weeks, and the box office exceeded $100 million in less than a month, surpassing the new film "Notting Hill" starring Julia Roberts)

No. 4 in the North American weekly box office list: produced by Universal Pictures, the feature film "Miracle in the Green Mile", weekly box office: $23.1 million.

(In the previous life, the show grossed $280 million worldwide at a production cost of $60 million, and was nominated for four awards at that year's Oscars, including Best Supporting Actor, Best Film, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Sound.) It's a pity that he lost the competition for the best movie to the hit "American Beauty" of the year. It is no wonder that in IMDB's rating system, "Miracle of the Green Mile" ranks 129th in the film history ranking with more than 86,000 votes and a high score of 8.1. )

No. 5 in the weekly box office list in North America: Produced by MGM Pictures, the love film "Notting Hill", weekly box office: $17.95 million.

No. 7 in the North American weekly box office list, produced by Sony Pictures, the noir ethics film "American Beauty", weekly box office: 7.5 million US dollars.

(In the previous life, this drama was postponed due to restrictive reasons, and the total box office was 78 million US dollars, which was not good at the box office, but it defeated "The Miracle of the Green Mile" at the Oscars, which can be described as a blessing in disguise.) )

……

It can be seen from the above weekly box office rankings that almost all of the seven major film companies in North America are out, and the quality of the films is very good.

But the most jaw-dropping thing is that the drama he filmed won the second runner-up on the list in the first week, which definitely made many big studios, Universal, MGM and Disney very unhappy. Because it seems that they are incompetent!

But Hollywood is a place that speaks by the box office. Your box office is lower than other people's. I don't have the confidence to speak. Therefore, the big film companies are miserable and depressed. couldn't make a sound out of his mouth, and those guys who laughed at the fantasy drama before were even gagged by the second place at the box office, and they couldn't breathe!

But that's not all, it's not just the beginning, and the exciting battle is still to come! The guys who were gagged were unconvinced, and said, let's see who can laugh the most!

And the Wachowski brothers, who feel a lot of pressure, are chased hard by Yi Feiyang's "Dance Floor Fight" in their "The Matrix 2". I just feel that it is smoky and burning, which is very unpleasant.

Maybe, his drama can't catch up at all, after all, he is a big production that costs hundreds of millions, and the audience won't be so stupid to praise him, right? We Americans must support the Americans, don't be defeated by the Chinese!

In fact, like the Wachowski brothers, in the eyes of many people, the box office popularity of this drama filmed by Yi Feiyang is entirely due to the joining and cameos of big names such as Michael Jackson. attracted people's attention, and people got tired of these "top spices". He would turn his horse's head and run into his own cinema to watch his own play. But their ideas are beautiful, but the reality is cruel. Yi Feiyang used the Tuesday box office of the drama "Dance Floor Competition" to shatter their dreams again!

No. 1 in the North American weekly box office list, produced by Dream Pictures, the song and dance film "Dance Floor Battle", with a weekly box office of 46.53 million US dollars.

No. 2 in the North American weekly box office list, produced by Warner Studios, the sci-fi film "The Matrix 2", with a weekly box office of 41.3 million US dollars.

No. 3 in the North American weekly box office list, produced by Disney Studios, the animated blockbuster "Elf Mouse Brother", with a weekly box office of 29.88 million US dollars.

No. 4 in the North American weekly box office list: Produced by Universal Pictures, the feature film "Miracle of the Green Mile", weekly box office: 24 million US dollars.

No. 5 in the North American weekly box office list: MGM Studios production, love love film "Notting Hill", weekly box office: $15.8 million.

No. 6 in the North American weekly box office list, produced by Columbia Pictures, comedy "Fake Dad", weekly box office: 9.88 million US dollars.

No. 7 in the North American weekly box office list, produced by Sony Pictures, the noir ethics film "American Beauty", weekly box office: 8.3 million US dollars.

……

As can be seen from the box office results of the above rankings, "Dance Floor Battle", which was originally ranked second, actually pulled the first place "The Matrix 2" off the throne and became the leader of the week.

It is said that when they saw the first moment of the list, the Wachowski brothers hugged each other and cried, and then ran to the toilet, not knowing whether they were going to wash their faces, pee, or pray......

In addition, this week's list is clear that most of the studios' films are declining at the box office, which shows the results of the audience's "picky" and "tested" behavior of the film. Only three film companies have risen at the box office, namely Sony's "American Beauty", which has risen a little, Universal's "Miracle on the Green Mile", which has risen a little, and "Dance Floor Competition", which has risen a lot.

Of course, all the films are released here, and the war is not over yet, because there is still a week left in the Christmas file, and the last week is the last week, and if you can hold on to the last and have the highest total box office in the world in the future, that is the real big winner!

This time, all the film companies are working hard, hoping to turn the tide and save the situation in this most difficult battle.

For the Wachowski brothers, who competed with Yi Feiyang, although they lost in the last weekly box office battle, they won more than 100 million over Yi Feiyang in the total box office, after all, it was released early, which is the last word! It is definitely not easy for this China to catch up, yes, as long as you maintain your rationality and increase your strength in the movie, you will definitely be able to win!

With this belief and persistence, the pair of brothers and sisters said to the camera interviewing them: "Oh yes, we will win, yes, we will win, because we are the Wachowski brothers who cannot be defeated, knocked down, or crushed!" ”

In front of the camera, they raised their fists.

For the Wachowski brothers to take a battle oath, some media reporters who like to hype up gossip and engage in 38 work couldn't help but find Yi Feiyang, hoping that he could express his feelings about this matter, Yi Feiyang was forced to be impatient, so he raised his middle finger at the camera...... The problem is that the reporter doesn't know if the camera is aimed at him or at the pair of bear brothers...... (To be continued......)
