334 Provocate, provocate!
……
The next day, the overwhelming publicity for "X-Men: Days of Future Past" has begun, and the publicity of Anne and He Fang is over because they have a scene to film.
But strangely enough, only Anne returned to the crew, and then executive director Zhang Mo took over the filming of the next scenes, and He Fang had disappeared on his private jet.
Where did he go? What did you do? Nobody knows.
In the middle of the night on the 27th, his private jet had already arrived in Changsha.
Then a big black nanny car drove directly to the tarmac of his private jet, the gangway opened, and Zeng Jinghua, who got off the nanny car, and another middle-aged woman, as well as He Ben and a few others, got on the plane.
About forty minutes later, Zeng Jinghua and another middle-aged woman hurriedly got into the black nanny car from each of the planes, holding a tightly wrapped object, and after a while, He Ben also got into the car.
He Fang didn't get off the plane, but just waved his hand at the gangway until the black nanny car drove out of the airport, and then he returned to the cabin.
Next, after being refueled and refilled, the plane continued to take off and disappeared into the night.
……
When he was busy with family affairs, the box office of "X-Men: Days of Future Past" was not a big hit in the world, but it was still a hit.
North America won $81.9 million on the first day, surpassing the $80.8 million on the first day of Avengers.
Chinese mainland won 187.65 million yuan, or $30.26 million in contracts, and the rest of the world won $43.29 million.
"X-Men: Days of Future Past" grossed $155.45 million, or $155.4 million, at the global box office on its first day.
This first-day box office data is a little higher than the first-day box office of "Avengers", and the global first-day box office of "Avengers" is just 150 million.
Even the first-day box office is so close...... It's really right online.
It was arguably the beginning of a success, and many of the media, friends, and Fox producers were calling He, but he was now sleeping on the plane.
How could he bother with the affairs of "X-Men", his current state is very strange, it seems that he has an inexplicable connection with this world, this connection is very strange, it is beating in the form of life.
So his dream was strange, and it seemed that there was a rope in his heart that held the other two ends.
It feels really amazing, the dreams are different, as if playing with the two little ones in the clouds, and as if seeing the two little ones crying heartbroken and calling for their mother, which makes him very self-reproachful in his heart......
Then he also dreamed that the two little ones were fighting with people at school because they didn't have a mother......
He Fang suddenly felt so panicked, so selfish, so guilty......
"Boss, boss......"
"Ah......h......h
Then he looked at Tong Weidong, who was startled next to him, and He Fang immediately heard the roar of the aircraft engine hitting the midcranial nerves, and then looked around.
He finally understood where this was, he had just picked up two children and sent them back to Changsha, and was now heading to Los Angeles.
At this time, he was on the plane, in order to let as few people as possible know about him, this flight did not let the flight attendant come up, and he and Tong Weidong were on the whole plane, and there were two pilots.
Of course, there were three nurses, but they were dropped off the plane halfway through.
So now only Tong Weidong and He Fang are left on the plane, of course, the two pilots are not counted.
"Arrived?" He Fang rubbed his face and asked.
"Well, I heard the captain say that there will be half an hour to land, so ......" Tong Weidong meant that it was because of this that he came to call where to get up.
"Oh, good, good." After He Fang nodded, Tong Weidong exited the room with interest.
After He Fang went to put water and washed up, he took his mobile phone to the smoking room, and then Tong Weidong came over with a cup of coffee.
"Lao Tong, the flight attendant is not here, thank you for your hard work." He Fang thanked Tong Weidong for a sentence.
Indeed, there is no flight attendant in this one, and Tong Weidong is also a flight attendant.
Cleaning, food and water delivery to the entire crew, liaising with the captain about in-flight operations, and more.
He went to training for a week to deal with this kind of emergency.
"You're welcome, boss." Tong Weidong smiled.
After He Fang nodded, he took a sip of coffee and then lit a cigarette, which was really comfortable.
He Fang picked up the phone and looked at a lot of missed calls and unread text messages, first glanced at them, most of them were text messages congratulating "X-Men: Future Past" on the box office success on the first day.
Then look at the photos sent to him by home, He Fang looked at it and couldn't wait to fly back to see it again, and then immediately sent a video connection with his mother, it is now nine o'clock in the evening in China.
watched the two children for a while, and then chatted with Zeng Jinghua and He Ben for a while about topics such as the feeding of the children and hung up the video, and it could be seen that the two of them were also very tired, and she was tired enough in the past two days.
Think about it, suddenly throw it to his two children, I haven't taken a child for a long time, I can't even sleep well at night, as long as the child cries and makes trouble, he immediately jumps up......
It's just the beginning of a painful and happy life.
After contacting the family, He Fang faced up to other problems.
He first read the news to understand the current situation.
Needless to say, the box office can be seen on the cat's eye, and there are details.
Comments?
You can also see the situation at a glance, the mainstream is still highly praised, except that some people are criticizing Uncle Wolf for playing soy sauce a bit, the whole is okay.
This problem of Uncle Wolf playing soy sauce has been solved very well in this version, at least much better than another time and space.
In this version, Uncle Wolf's role has been strengthened a lot, especially in the outstanding contribution of action scenes. It's no longer the main scene between Witch and Magneto, this version strengthens the action scenes of multiple mutants.
In addition to these small criticisms, everyone's overall criticism of "X-Men: Days of Future Past" is still very positive.
For example, the first-day rating on IMDb is as high as 8.6 points, which is a lot of ten, which proves that the audience is still very satisfied with this version of "X-Men".
The plot is clear and reasonable, and there is also a sense of science fiction through time and space. What's more important is that the climaxes are one after another, the plot is constantly reversed, the scenes are very big and good-looking, the characters have their own characteristics, and they are many but not chaotic.
This is the most discussed in the reviews on IMDb, and many reviews feel that this is a more advantageous plot than "Avengers", and the scenes are not inferior to "Avengers", plus the dirty and ugly image of mutants in the previous "X-Men" has been improved in this version.
Looking at Rotten Tomatoes again, the popcorn index is 96%, and the tomato freshness is 94%, and the reviews will not be listed one by one.
In addition to a few complaints, such as those who complain about Anne Hathaway, there are a batch of Anne's dead black fans.
There are also those who complain about Oriental actors, thinking that it is not right for the movie to join Oriental actors in order to accommodate Oriental audiences, why should American heroes have Oriental people?
There are even more complaints about the small details of the plot......
These are all innocuous complaints, and He Fang is very satisfied with it.
After reading these two professional film review websites, He Fang went to Google and searched for news related to "X-Men: Future Past" to see what the media said.
Obviously, the media really pitted "X-Men: Days of Future Past" against "Avengers", and even after Robert Downey Jr. said 'who cares', Chris Evans stood up and spoke.
The media asked him what he thought of "X-Men: Future Past" surpassing "Avengers" at the box office on the first day, and he said: "Indeed, with the blessing of He, this "X-Men" has made a qualitative leap, but occasional success does not mean that it will always be successful. There is a reason for being abandoned, and congenital deficiencies will be abandoned. ”
Evans's words made "Avengers" fans scream with excitement, and made fans who supported "X-Men" and fans in the middle very dissatisfied.
In addition to Evans' ignition, there is also Marvel's producer, Victoria Alonso, the producer of "Avengers", who appeared to say.
Victoria Alonso faced an interview with the media, and she certainly did not say bad things: "'X-Men' is part of the Marvel universe, and the reasons for selling it back then are complicated. As sellers, we certainly hope that buyers will make a good profit by buying our things. We are happy to see that they have a good result. ”
Reporter: "Will Marvel regret it?" Does Disney have any criticism of you? ”
Victoria Alonso: "Thinking too much, we Marvel have sold a lot of IPs, and Disney has made a lot of money, which has nothing to regret, let alone any criticism from Disney." ”
Reporter: "What do you think of the provocation of "X-Men: Days of Future Past" against "Avengers"? ”
Victoria Alonso smiled disdainfully, "Every year there are a lot of films that challenge us. ”
After saying that, the reporter added to the report, 'It is clear that Victoria Alonso and Marvel or Disney are dismissive of the provocation of X-Men: Days of Future Past'.
When he saw this, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he wanted to fool the past like this? No way.
This was a better opportunity to stir up confrontation, so he called Fauci......
"Hey, Fauci, congratulations, the first day of the movie was a success." He Fang congratulated first.
"Ha, he, let's continue to work together, I believe we will create better results." Fauci is still counting on where to work with.
"I really don't have time for this for the time being, I'll talk about it next time. By the way, Fauci, I saw some bad remarks, and I didn't think it was very good, so I ...... "Leave half of the speech for him."
"Uh-huh, like ......"
"For example, Victoria Alonso and Evans, I don't think it's okay for the actors of 'Avengers' to stand up with us, but some of what Victoria Alonso said is not good.
Fauci, think about it, Victoria Alonso has repeatedly expressed her disdain for the challenge of "X-Men", which is not just representing Marvel and Disney in dwarfing the "X-Men" movie, but dwarfing Fox.
It's like saying that Fox bought an IP they didn't want, and now they challenge them, and they don't bother to do it, because there are many people challenging them every year. is also one of the Big Six in Hollywood, Fox is no worse than them, why is it dwarfed by them?
Fauci, have you ever thought about letting them dwarf like this for a long time, to be honest, I think that the best companies in Hollywood are not Fox but Disney and Warner, because they both own Marvel and DC, and other companies pick up some IP from them.
In the face of their dwarfing, I think Fox should show something, otherwise it will have a bad impact in the eyes of filmmakers: working with Fox is nothing, and being able to work with Disney and Warner is the top illusion. ”
He Fang continued to fan the flames, and if the fire did not burn, it would not achieve his goal.
"......" Fauci on the other end of the phone fell into deep thought, and before he could answer, he spoke somewhere else.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Fauci, the plane is going to land, and I have to get to the set. By the way, if "X-Men" needs my help with any publicity, just say. Of course, in addition to not letting me leave the crew, I am really inseparable from filming. ”
Lord Ho said apologetically.
"Okay, I know, then you get busy first, and we'll take into account what you said." Fauci replied lightly and hung up.
He heard the anger on the other end of the phone, and at this time, the plane was just about to land and was already aiming at the runway.
He then called a person, yes, it was Alan Horn, the chairman of Disney.
"Hey, Mr. Alain, hello, I'm so sorry, I slept on the plane before, so I didn't get your call...... Of course, I have to apologize to you for having to pit X-Men: Days of Future Past against Avengers because of Fox's request......"
"Uh-huh, yes, that's what Fox meant. You know, who doesn't envy Marvel vs DC? There are two big IP groups......"
"Of course, Fawkes showed me ambition, you have to be careful......"
"No, no, no, I'm not from Fox, I'm just a director, and I work with anyone the same."
"Haha, it's all trivial, okay, take the time to meet."
"Of course, at least we have to let "X-Men: Future Past" come out."
"Hah...... Okay, goodbye, I have to get off the plane, or my pilot will be off duty. Goodbye, Mr. Alain. ”
……
After He Fang stepped off the plane, he looked at Du Chunsheng who came to pick him up, and he stepped forward and patted Du Chunsheng on the shoulder.
"When I put the news out, I said that Mr. Alain, the president of Disney, contacted me and wanted me to direct "Avengers", and said that Alan did not allow Fox to make Marvel Superhero better than Disney......"
"......" Du Chunsheng was stunned, this is ...... Let the two rivals lift ...... Price? Like two men fighting for a woman? Price gouging?
"By the way, don't let me be passive." He Fang added.
"Don't worry, boss."
