The box office growth period of "Hurricane Rescue 2" is mainly in the first two weeks, the mainland box office is 100 million in the first week, 87 million in the second week, and the total of the two weeks is 197 million, almost 200 million.

In the third week, the box office was not very good, the vast majority of passers-by and fans watched it, and the other is the release of new films.

On Valentine's Day on February 14th, there are three romance films released on Hong Kong Island in the mainland, namely "Introduction to Architecture", "Affordable", and "Love Border".

Among them, "Introduction to Architecture" is a movie cooperated by Li Shengyao and Chai Zhiping, and the male and female protagonists are Hu Ge and Guo Biting.

"Afford to Love" is a co-production on Hong Kong Island in the mainland, and the male and female protagonists are Chan Pak-lam and Leung Wing-ki.

"Love International Line" is a Sino-foreign co-production that invited Hollywood actress Vanessa. Blanche, the actor is Dong Yanlin.

Vanessa can only be said to be a third-rate actor in Hollywood, having made a cameo in "Pirates of the Caribbean", and the more famous role is Karen in "Lost".

These three movies are all aimed at the Valentine's Day schedule.

"Introduction to Architecture" is undoubtedly an explosion with its excellent and solid story.

If "Architectural Probability" hadn't been released, maybe "Hurricane Rescue 2" would have made a little more box office.

But it doesn't matter, in Li Shengyao's heart, it would be good to have 200 million in "Hurricane Rescue 2" in the mainland.

Similarly, in the beautiful country, "Hurricane Rescue 2" also harvested the box office in the first two weeks.

In the first week, it got 87 million, and in the second week it dropped to 62 million, and the current total box office in North America is 149 billion US dollars.

It's more difficult later, and the main reason is that the new film will be released in February.

During this period of time, there have been movies such as "Star Wars Fan Friends", "Friday the 13th", "Aliens Upstairs", "Werewolf", "International/Organization" and so on.

In such a situation, it should be difficult for the follow-up "Hurricane Rescue 2" to get a high box office.

Of course, such results are enough to satisfy Li Shengyao.

In his previous life, the North American box office of "Hurricane Rescue 2" was 143 million, and he may be able to make an extra 10 million dollars now.

Cheng Long and Warner were very satisfied with this result, and kept calling to urge Li Shengyao to go to the beautiful country, celebrate together, and discuss the next cooperation by the way.

At the same time, the Oscars also invited Lee Shengyao to participate, and the award ceremony will be presented to the guest that night.

……

Just after Valentine's Day, Li Shengyao left Yanjing and went to the beautiful country.

Originally, he agreed with Chen Hao to accompany her for two months, but Chen Hao was reluctant to go to the beautiful country, she said that it was not safe, she wanted to go back to her hometown to see her parents, and Li Shengyao went alone.

On this night, a bright crescent moon hung in the sky of Los Angeles.

There was a faint smell of spring breeze wafting through the air.

In the villa of Cheng Long in Beverly Hills, Li Shengyao, Cheng Long, Toby. The three of Emmerich raised their glasses together and touched them.

Toby tilted his head slightly and drank it all.

He tilted his head slightly and glanced at Li Shengyao, seeing that he only took a sip, but he was not angry, but smiled and poured some more red wine for himself and Cheng Long.

As long as you can make money, let alone not drinking, even if it is shining your shoes and peeling apples for you, it is trivial.

The box office of "Hurricane Rescue 2" far exceeded the expectations of Warner executives.

Not only in beautiful countries, but also in Europe, in just two weeks, the total box office of European countries is almost 270 million.

In other words, in just two weeks, the global box office of this movie has exceeded 400 million, which is even more powerful than "Spy Shadow 3".

"Hurricane Rescue 2" is so popular in Europe that many Hollywood experts are amazed, and everyone has studied it.

In the end, three points were summarized, compared to Hollywood blockbusters that have no sense of substitution and rely on scenes to win.

"Hurricane Rescue 2" embodies the father's love, the growth of the daughter, and the handling of the Alba Niya migrants, which can be said to have perfectly hit the G-spot of European audiences.

Fans over there hate immigrants in poor places very much, and fatherhood, as well as the growth of women, can make them substitute for them.

So "Hurricane Rescue 2" is so popular in Europe.

Now many Hollywood companies are planning to copy such scripts and then go to Europe to harvest the box office.

Warner has also tried, and they also want to work with Cheng Long.

However, Cheng Long refused, and Cheng Long said that Li Shengyao had a suitable script on his side, and he would continue to cooperate with Director Li.

When Toby heard this, it was like a shark smelling blood, and hurried over without saying a word.

This time, he still has to cooperate with Director Li.

As long as it is a film that Lee Shengyao wants to distribute globally, whether it is directed by Lee Shengyao himself or not, he will invest.

Toby is middle-aged and has a future, as long as he maintains such performance, he may not have the opportunity to become the first person in Warner Pictures.

"Li, I heard that "Hurricane Rescue 2" also performed well in Southeast Asia?"

"It's okay, there should be a box office of about 70 million."

This unit is People/People/Currency.

"Hurricane Rescue 2" is the box office champion of the three countries of Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand during this time, with a total of 70 million, which is a very good result.

In fact, Shaw Brothers helped distribute it, and it also ranked first in the box office list in Annan, but although the population in Annan is large, the people are too poor, and the first place in the box office list is only more than 5 million.

"Wow, the global box office of this movie is very promising to reach 460 million US dollars, which is fantastic."

When Cheng Long heard this, he also felt a little emotional.

If it reaches 460 million US dollars, it will surpass "Rush Hour 2", which can be regarded as a new highlight of his career.

Li Shengyao smiled and nodded.

He can get 50% of the profit dividends, and 70% of the later streaming media rights, video rental and sales income, a total of 100 million US dollars in revenue from this movie.

Not as high as "The Hangover", but he was satisfied.

For 100 million US dollars, he can buy a building to build a cinema.

Or save money to buy a building with dozens of floors, and then use it as Fenghua headquarters.

"Director Li, cheers."

The three of them touched another glass.

Then chatted, Cheng Long and Toby talked about the entertainment news of the beautiful country, and Li Shengyao talked about domestic affairs.

Entering 2009, there are still a lot of things on the side of the beautiful country.

For example, the son of John Stavo, the protagonist of "Changing Face", died, and two Bahamas actually wanted to use the news to blackmail him.

For example, Rihanna and her boyfriend beat each other on the street, and the cave queen was beaten like this, with a blue nose and swollen face.

For example, Tiger Woods fell into the mistress door, and his wife returned to her parents' house with the child.

For example, Michael Jackson is planning a comeback tour, and it is said that all the big cities around the world are hoping to see the superstar.

Toby said with some emotion, "I think it's a little difficult, his body is not very good. ”

He continued: "He will definitely regret it, he should have come out and done these things a long time ago." ”

Lee Shengyao knew what happened to Michael Jackson next, the tour was unsuccessful, and then he passed away.

Of course, even if he knew, it had nothing to do with him.

His movies were big hits, and he was in the right mood and didn't want to think about them.

"Director Li, what are your thoughts on the new movie?"

Cheng Long didn't want to hear words like "regret", and when he got older, he didn't want to hear such words.

When Toby heard this, he immediately looked at Li Shengyao, his eyes shining with anticipation.

Li Shengyao smiled, let Toby come over tonight, is to let Warner participate in this project.

After all, without Warner, they also have to find other partners to do global distribution.

Anyway, if you don't give Warners production, you won't give them room to make money.

Warner is responsible for the investment, and then the issuance.

He then took out two scripts, one for Cheng Long and one for Toby.

Both are scripts for the same movie, one in Chinese and one in English.

This movie is "Air Rescue".

He received a call from Cheng Long before and began to write this script.

Now I don't have to write by hand, but I type on a computer, which is much faster, and I can do it in a week.

In Li Shengyao's previous life, the male lead of "Air Rescue" was Liam Neeson, with an investment of 50 million, and the final global box office was 225 million US dollars, which must have made money.

Cheng Long immediately took the script and then read it.

Toby was a little more gentle, but there was still excitement in his eyes.

Lee Sang Yew tells the story of the film in detail on the side.

Even the "Rescue" series of movies starring Mum Neson did not have a high investment, at most 50 million, and then with the reputation accumulated by the "Hurricane Rescue" series, it easily won about 200 million US dollars at the box office worldwide.

In this case, it is easy for the investor to recover the cost, and the subsequent streaming media copyright and video disc income will be pure profit.

That's why Liam Neeson is so popular.

Li Shengyao feels that Cheng Long should take this route and not invest too much, just like "Rush Hour 3", investing 1400 million is really looking for death.

Invest 40 or 50 million US dollars, carefully polish the script, and rely on Cheng Long's influence to make 200 million US dollars, which is not a comfortable way to make money.

This kind of production mode, hello, hello, everyone.

Two hours later, Cheng Long and Toby finished reading the script, both of them were a little surprised, and thought that this time they would rescue their families, but they didn't expect it to be the one who rescued the entire plane.

However, the story is still very exciting, with constant reversals and finally finding out the real villain.

"Lee, why don't you rescue your family?"

"We can't rescue the family all the time, it's easy to get tired of aesthetics, later, the movie ends, and then the next movie, but it's time to rescue the family."

Regarding the series of movies about rescuing his family, it is really not Director Li Bragging, he can copy seven or eight movies casually.

Toby nodded, "This movie is very good, I can represent Warners, and we are willing to invest in this movie." ”

Cheng Long immediately nodded, "Me too, I can act." ”

Li Shengyao nodded, "Very good, then let's discuss the investment ratio." ”

Regarding film investment, there has long been an example of "Hurricane Rescue 2", and it is easy to reach a consensus.

The total investment is 50 million US dollars, Fenghua is 25 million, Warner is 15 million, and China Film is 10 million.

After the movie was released, Fenghua was red in five parts, Warner was red in three parts, and China Film and Cheng Long were each red.

In addition, the income of copyright discs in the later stage is seventy percent and Warner thirty percent.
