"Twilight" is really crazy...

Released on June 27, under the premise that peers are not optimistic, it won a high box office of $77.55 million in the first weekend, beating "Wanted" released at the same time and becoming the weekly box office champion!

The latter earned $51.36 million in the opening weekend.

"Wanted" is starring Angelina Jolie at a cost of $80 million, and "Twilight" costs $35 million, with a starring cast of all fresh faces...

The key "Twilight" has a very poor professional reputation.

The selling point is the love triangle of werewolves, vampires, and humans, well, the domineering vampire is in love with me!

Just look at the setting, Vampire: Forever young and handsome appearance, skin color is even more cold and white than cold white skin, high nose and deep eyes, pupils will change color, skin will sparkle like diamonds when exposed to the sun, the noble vampire race can not only live forever, but also surpass humans in speed, strength, and hearing...

What are all these abilities used for?

Most of the time, it is to protect the heroine Bella and show her full boyfriend strength.

So when Bella is in danger, he can restrain the speeding car with one hand and save her life in a life-or-death situation...

Why do two species fall in love?

The male protagonist, Edward, has mind reading, but Bella is the only one he can't read.

That's right, this setting is also to pave the way for the love line, anyway, the heroine is to be different from others, that is, to be the most unique fireworks.

Edward told Bella explicit 'I was born to kill, I want to kill you, I've never been so hungry for a man's blood.' ’

Bella's reaction when she knew he wanted to kill herself was, "I'm not afraid of you, I'm afraid of losing you." ”

Well, the typical life is not as important as love ...

After reading the original book, Shen Xudong wanted to pick a three-bedroom apartment with his toes...

Indeed, Robert Pattinson was right to say that this world-famous bestseller should never have been published...

So, how is it possible for a professional review to pass the test?

Generally speaking, a movie with a cost of 35 million US dollars, the special effects are slightly equal to zero, which must be supported by the plot, and as a result, the plot of "Twilight" is sparse...

Vulgar and bloody, poured to a degree of unreasonableness.

But stepping on a horse is a big sell!

And the unreasonable kind!

Although many institutions are not optimistic about the stamina of "Twilight"...

But stepping on a horse, who cares about the so-called stamina?

With $77 million in the opening weekend, it doesn't matter if it doesn't sell well at the box office in the future, the box office in the first three days is already higher than the average movie in several weeks combined.

The commercial victory was obvious.

And after entering the working day, "Twilight" did not directly fall into the air—the first working day received $6.01 million.

According to the predictions of relevant institutions, "Twilight" is likely to break $200 million at the box office!

In an interview, Shen Xudong took the initiative to mention Paramount MTV Films and Fox Films, which gave up "Twilight"...

"Thank you to the big companies for giving up on changing this original book, otherwise, we wouldn't have had a chance to buy the adaptation rights at all!"

“… But "Twilight" has a terrible reputation..."

Shen Xudong: "This is a movie that fans of the original book are very satisfied with, you can ask all the viewers who have watched the movie, if she is a fan of the original book, then she must be very satisfied with the movie!" Some movies are for the audience! ”

……

Of course, Shen Xudong was interviewed.

"The Coflall Files" and "Twilight", two films once again announce the return of Marvelous Studios.

And these two are not marginal themes with small investments.

The eschatological theme of the Clover Archives is serious; "Twilight" is also a mainstream vampire theme in Hollywood!

The cost of the two, one is 25 million, and the other is 35 million, which is still a small investment and a high return.

Oh, about the cost of "Twilight", Shen Xudong originally wanted to rip it up to $65 million, but... Think of the movie as a box office hit, and the bunch of reports that followed.

Forget it.

He's not Disney, so there's no need to blindly report the cost - "Mulan" costs as much as $200 million?

Let's not talk about the beginning and end of the story itself, just talk about the effects, special effects, etc., can you see that it is a 200 million dollar production?

Besides, he is financing and does not show the ability to make money, who will invest money in you?

Pulling it back, Shen Xudong was interviewed, mainly because there were too many interested media, "Hollywood Reporter", "Vanity Fair" and "Variety" all made an appointment for an interview.

Shen Xudong did not refuse, and even appeared on two talk show variety shows.

As a producer and producer, he will definitely not say that "Twilight" is a bad movie, but that it is "a dream journey in line with teenagers!" ’

Or, 'We made "Twilight", at the beginning we just wanted to meet the requirements of book lovers and friends to see this story on the big screen, with a fantasy youth genre, there must be an untasteful audience... If you think it's ugly, then don't look at it, there's no need to be noisy and even label the loyal viewers of "Twilight" with a brain-dead name, it's a kind of bullying! ’

Well... He's leading the war.

Just like after the release of "Little Times", Guo Xiaosi angrily scolded a bunch of film critics.

It's just that Shen Xudong is more open, and he labels the bad reviews of "Twilight" as a 'bully'!

He knows very well that the follow-up box office of "Twilight" is all controversial.

Could it be that this broken movie really has a normal audience to like?

Of course, he is still very honest in private, for example, he called Chen Xi and complained about this movie: "A vampire with a love brain, a human with a love brain, and a werewolf with a love brain, one word to describe it: dog blood!" ”

Chen Xi actually flew to Hong Kong to watch "Twilight"...

After reading it, the whole person is not good!

Isn't this a Qiong Yao drama!

Therefore, he immediately asked Shen Xudong: "Then why is it so popular?" ”

"I suspect foreigners haven't read Mary Sue literature."

In fact, Shen Xudong can't figure out the reason why "Twilight" is a big hit...

But he knows that memories don't lie!

So, he tried his best to make "Twilight"...

However, when Chen Xi asked about domestic copyright, Shen Xudong hesitated: "I think it's better to be cautious...

"What's there to be cautious about? $1.5 million buyout of rights... Don't you think that "Twilight", which is so popular, can't sell 20 million copies in China? ”

Chen Xi wants to buy out the mainland distribution rights of "Twilight" for $1.5 million...

For a masterpiece that has exceeded 100 million at the North American box office, the copyright fee of $1.5 million is simply the price of a cabbage.

But Shen Xudong knows that the domestic box office of the "Twilight" series is very poor, and it doesn't seem to have exceeded 20 million...

Including Hong Kong and Taiwan, the box office is also very bad...

"I really don't think I can get past 20 million... If you want to buy a batch of films, I suggest you consider "Robot Wall-E", and you can get it for about $2 million!"

"Pixar's animated films?"

"Yes..."

"That's not 2 million, 1 million is about the same, I'll talk about it..."
