The release of "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" is still in full swing in North America.

It's not just North America.

In the three days of May 23rd, 24th, and 25th, "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" was released in 59 countries and regions around the world, including Huaxia Hong Kong Island and Huaxia Taiwan Island.

As for the mainland of China, this time "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" successfully passed the review after cutting about 17 minutes of content, and it was scheduled to be released on June 12, half a month later than most parts of the world.

It is understandable that China has its own national conditions here.

After a week of large-scale global release, film critics around the world have given "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" high praise this time.

The third episode has more gimmicks, more stunts, and a more complex plot than the first two.

Johnny Depp's acting skills have been superb, and the heroine Keira Knightley's acting skills and martial arts have also been recognized by everyone, even surpassing Orlando Bloom.

Of course, Liu Yifei, the sword horse, has also successfully brushed a wave of faces around the world, and has been recognized and accepted by fans around the world.

The main reason is that martial arts actresses are indeed scarce all over the world, and one pops up occasionally, and it is from Huaxia, the hometown of kung fu, so many buffs are stacked on top of each other, and it is difficult for Liu Yifei not to be accepted.

Thanks to the good reputation of "Pirates of the Caribbean 3", the film's global box office results have also been bombarded all the way.

In the first week of its release, it won the weekly box office championship in more than 40 countries, with a total box office of $212 million in North America in 7 days and a total box office of $468 million worldwide.

Although it has only just started in a few years, "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" has basically booked the throne of the annual global box office champion, and it is unlikely that any movie will surpass it at the box office for most of the next half a year.

Wu Yuan was also predicted by the media that he would become a super commercial director with two single films breaking $1 billion at the global box office.

In the current international film industry, a single film breaking $1 billion is still a terrifying achievement, and even many industry insiders are pessimistic that the global box office market can only support the total box office of a single film of more than one billion dollars at most.

No one could have imagined that in a few years, the global box office of more than $1 billion will suddenly rush from less than 10 to more than 50.

Well, it's all thanks to the explosive growth of the Chinese box office market in the next decade.

However, it will have to wait until the release of "Avatar" next year that the global commercial film market will be completely detonated.

The reason why "Avatar" is so awesome is not because it has raked in 2.9 billion US dollars worldwide, and even won a terrifying box office of 1.7 billion yuan in mainland China, breaking countless records.

Until Wu Yuan woke up from his dream, the global box office record of "Avatar" was still broken by no movie......

Fortunately, before "Avatar" appeared, there were still very few movies that broke one billion dollars in the world, and Wu Yuan had "Pirates of the Caribbean 2", and he had already entered this top director field.

Now, seeing that the release momentum of "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" is no worse than the second part, and the reputation is even better, Hollywood basically thinks that Wu Yuan will have another movie that breaks the box office of $1 billion.

At this moment, his momentum in Haolaiwu is a bit of a limelight.

Originally, I had never given up, and I wanted to move Wu Yuan to direct the new line of "Ace Agent", but after seeing the hot box office results of "Pirates of the Caribbean 3", I also extinguished this heart.

Please don't move, it's really please don't move Wu Yuan.

And his suggestion was also seriously adopted by the new line, and President Elard found Matthew Vaughn, the director recommended by Wu Yuan, and officially started the preparation of "Ace Agent".

It is estimated that the investment is 120 million US dollars, the male protagonist is Cheng Long and a new generation of new actors in the circle, and the supporting roles are all found to be familiar old actors who are more easy to use in Laiwu.

In the second half of this year, we will start filming as soon as possible, and strive to release it in the summer of next year!

Of the $120 million in cost, Light Times will also bear half of it, and the two companies will jointly invest with Light to operate this new IP.

John, who has just basically recovered the box office share of "Fake Marriage", is not short of money now, and quickly transferred $60 million to the corporate account of the new line.

He even called Wu Yuan and asked if he wanted to start preparing for the "Twilight" project in advance.

"Weakness" will be ready to go on in two months.

Light Times has developed for so many years, although it has not deliberately continued to expand, but it is not a burden to make 2-3 movies at the same time.

Wu Yuan thought about it for a while, and now is indeed the time to start the "Twilight" series.

On the original trajectory, the first "Twilight" began filming in February 2008, and it was too late for the Light Age to start now.

Kristen Stewart is very easy to find, she is a well-known child actor in Hollywood. Born in 1990, she was filmed at the age of 12.

Last year, she also won the Young Artist Award for Best Supporting Actress and the Best Newcomer Award.

Wu Yuan directly called her name on the phone and asked John to contact her and ask her to play the heroine of "Twilight", Isabella Swan.

Youth idol movies like "Twilight", the box office almost all rely on the chemistry between the hero and heroine, the handsome man and the beautiful woman, to explode, and it is better not to change the actor as much as possible.

If you change actors, you may not be able to replicate the crazy box office results of this series.

Robert Pattinson, who played the male protagonist Edward, and Taylor Lautner, who played the other male protagonist Werewolf Jacob, were all handpicked by Wu Yuan.

The former has played Cedric in the "Harry Potter" series, and the latter has also played a high-rated sitcom in the United States, and they are not difficult actors to find.

John just didn't expect Wu Yuan to pay attention to the casting of "Twilight" and personally set the casting for this movie.

Ordinary ordinary Cinderella plus a vampire prince and a werewolf prince

Just by looking at the configuration of the three protagonists in this movie, you can see that this will be a bloody teen love book.

Wu Yuan, a great director who is forced to reach the sky, would actually pay attention to such a movie and cast it, John kept arguing in his heart.

Could it be that Wu Yuan actually loves to watch this kind of girl's bloody romance in private?

John feels like he's discovered a big secret from his boss!

No wonder Wu Yuan paid attention to the first part of "Twilight" when it first came out, and asked him to buy the film adaptation rights immediately.

It turned out that Wu Yuan was a fan reader!

Through, everything can be explained!

"Hey, hey, I see." On the phone, John agreed to Wu Yuan's request with a strange smile.

"If the main actors are all young actors like this, they only need to spend no more than $35 million to finish this movie."

"This investment is not much, even if the company loses money, it can bear it."

"I'll arrange the shooting as soon as possible!"

The phone was hung up in a hurry.

Wu Yuan looked at the extinguished mobile phone screen in a daze, and always felt that the tone of John's last conversation was very strange and wrong.

But he didn't think deeply, but instead curled the corners of his mouth proudly.

Loss?

Inexistent.

No one in the whole Hollywood, including John, who listened to Wu Yuan's request and prepared the movie "Twilight", dared to believe it.

Just such a film adapted from a $35 million girl's bloody romance book will be released for 147 days, with a North American box office of $192 million, an overseas box office of $216 million, and a total global box office of $408 million, ranking 12th in the global annual box office.

This is much crazier than the box office results of the "Little Times" series

Such a big leak can't be picked up once in ten years!

Wu Yuan is very much looking forward to how much John will doubt his life when "Twilight" is a box office hit.

He loves and has been in the industry for more than ten years, but it has gradually become strange and uncomfortable for him.

Hollywood in the next ten years is too "crazy"!

"Senior brother, what are you doing on your phone?" Liu Yifei, who came out of the bathroom with his hair wiped, saw Wu Yuan standing in the living room looking at his mobile phone and smirking, with an inexplicable expression.

"Ahem." Quickly put the phone back in his pocket, Wu Yuan sorted out his expression, walked quickly to Liu Yifei's side, took the hair towel from her hand, and said while helping her wipe her hair: "It's nothing." ”

"By the way, Sissi, your second English single should be released as well."

"Taking advantage of the fact that "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" is being released in the world now, you will launch this single while the iron is hot, and the music and film industry will make a double effort, it is estimated that no female star can be more popular than you in the first half of this year."

When recording songs before, Liu Yifei recorded two songs in one go, one "Call Me Maybe" and one "Good Time".

The former had already swept North America in March, winning the Billboard title for three weeks in a row, and is still holding on to third place.

The latter song "Good Time" is a collaborative single between Liu Yifei and Justin Timberlake, and the two also filmed a MV together.

Timberlake didn't pay much attention to this song before, and it was completely with the idea of catching up with Wu Yuan that he helped cooperate.

But now the situation is different, with the popularity of "Call Me Maybe", Liu Yifei has confirmed the name of the new sweet song diva, which already makes Timberlake feel that this cooperation is not a loss.

Now that "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" is a global hit, and her role as Vier in the movie has captured the love of countless fans around the world, and has also taken off in the field of film, Timberlake is even more eager to rub off on the popularity, and has repeatedly taken the initiative to ask when this single will be released, and emphasized that he will fully cooperate with the promotion.

Wu Yuan is of course very satisfied with such a good partner, and also put the release of "Good Time" on the agenda.

This is also a global hit demon single!

It just so happens that the weather is getting hotter now, and fans and listeners in North America just need a refreshing summer song to get through the hot summer.

“We don't even have to try~”

(We don't have to care~)

“It's always a good time！”
