Best Movie Star

At the same time as "Special Forces: The Rise of the Cobra", several leading actors and director Stephen Sommers also continued to promote the film. Different from the concentrated publicity before the screening, Matthew, Sienna Miller The three leading actors and Karolina Kirkova are scattered all over the place in order to make more news.

To Matthew's surprise, after the film's first week at the North American box office was released, Victoria's Secret and Karolina Kirkova's agent jointly announced that Karolina Kirkova would participate in the 2009 Victoria's Secret. show.

Last year, the angel supermodel, who was mercilessly abandoned by Victoria's Secret because of endocrine disorders, won a lot of attention with "Special Forces", and Victoria's Secret has turned back.

This is also in line with the usual style of Victoria's Secret, after all, this is a commercial company, not a charity.

In addition, Sienna Miller also tried her best to gain attention. In an interview with The Times, she directly claimed that she was a bad woman...

The lower limit for many stars to gain attention is much lower than that of Matthew.

Relatively speaking, Matthew's words and deeds are much more normal, and in the face of the media what he does and says, he must highlight the high style.

Before "Special Forces" came to its second weekend, he made a special appearance on ABC's "Good Morning America", highlighting the film.

This is a live broadcast. Matthew is sitting in the studio with a huge poster of "Special Forces: The Rise of the Cobra" behind him, introducing the film to fans in a serious manner.

The audience of "Good Morning America" ​​is dominated by middle-class families, many of whom are office workers over the age of 30. These are not the main audience of "Special Forces: The Rise of the Cobra", in Matthew and the film type are attracting a large number of teenagers At the same time as the audience, being able to get these people to buy tickets to enter the theater will play an important role in the subsequent box office trend of "Special Forces".

So, sitting alone in front of the camera, Matthew introduced the film very seriously.

"This summer, there are two popular movies based on animation originally produced for toys, one is the well-known "Transformers 2", and the other is "Special Forces: The Rise of the Cobra."

As if talking about a film that has nothing to do with him, Matthew introduced in a relatively objective tone, "From the story, the two films are very exciting, both the good and the evil gangs are constantly strangling all over the world, you have Decepticons, I have a cobra; you send someone to lift the pyramid, and I will find a terrorist organization to bring down the Eiffel Tower. In short, I will try my best to show the eye-catching big scenes to the audience. However, compared to "Transformers" 2" focuses on science fiction in the story, "Special Forces" is closer to our real life..."

Movies like "Transformers" can't do anything if they don't focus on science fiction. Find a car that can transform out of the street?

In its second weekend of release, there is also a large-scale film, "Special Forces: Rise of the Cobra" will face competition from "District 9" from Sony Columbia Pictures.

The production cost of this film is only 30 million US dollars, and it is not in the same grade as "Special Forces" in terms of scale and theater.

Also, the R-rating of "The Ninth District" is not able to compete with the PG-13 rating of "Special Forces".

"The Ninth District" not only did not pose a threat to "Special Forces", but suffered a certain impact. After all, the audiences of the two films overlapped a lot.

Over the past weekend, "Special Forces" won the top spot in the North American box office with $48.9 million, and "District 9" came in second with $31.4 million. This box office figure is also very eye-catching relative to the cost. If the follow-up trend is stable , the North American box office of this film is very likely to exceed the $100 million mark.

The third and fourth places are "Transformers 2" and "Ice Age 3".

In addition, thanks to the popularity of "Special Forces", another film "Fast and Furious 4" starring Matthew returned to the top five of the box office list two months after its release, and won it this weekend. $11.2 million.

"Fast and Furious 4" has been released for ten weeks, and the North American box office has accumulated a total of 321.2 million US dollars, and the global box office has exceeded 600 million US dollars in one fell swoop, and is steadily moving towards 700 million US dollars.

This film has become a hit in the summer of 2009.

"Special Forces" was also released in North America for two weeks. Including the previous four working days, the film's North American box office easily exceeded the cost line of 180 million US dollars, and accumulated to 181.2 million US dollars.

Perhaps it is the effect brought by Matthew. The current trend of this film is relatively stable. The North American box office easily exceeds 200 million US dollars, and it is very hopeful to hit 300 million US dollars.

Since this weekend, "Special Forces" has also been released in overseas regions. At present, there are nearly 50 overseas release regions, and the overseas box office has accumulated more than 85 million US dollars.

The film will also appear in the film market on the other side of the Pacific, but Paramount Pictures and the "Special Forces" crew have no plans to go to the other side of the Pacific to promote it, mainly because "Special Forces" will not be released on the other side until August. .

Matthew doesn't know when it started. The hottest summer vacation and Spring Festival on the other side of the Pacific will no longer allow the release of big Hollywood commercial films, but this objective condition cannot be changed by individuals, and Hollywood films as outsiders can only adapt.

Outsiders are no match for Big Scissors anyway.

Later, "Special Forces" will appear in more overseas markets. This film basically has no sensitive points. There are neither villains from the Middle East, nor do things in the East. What ruined it was Paris, London, and North America. Deserts or places like arctic glaciers.

Not to mention anything else, even entering the Indonesian market with the most stringent and strange review system, "Special Forces" has not cut a single shot.

"Special Forces" continues to top the charts in major North American commercial theaters, but Matthew knows that won't last long, as Warner Bros.' super-giant, magic-wand-wielding Harry Potter and Half-Blood Prince is coming soon.

Matthew has already received invitations from Warner Bros. and Emma Watson to attend the premiere.

The only pity is that although Emma Watson came to North America, she was busy running announcements all over the place, and Matthew had not met her yet.

In other words, he still misses this magical girl a lot.

Without Emma Watson, Matthew received a call from the other side of the Pacific through the transfer of Angel Agency. The girl named Nini couldn't wait to come to Los Angeles to meet him.

Matthew did not agree for the time being, and asked the other party to wait for two rounds of selection before coming over.

In some respects, he is a very reputable person. Nini took the initiative to bring him to the door. With his character, it would be strange if he could endure it. The conditions are not met, when shooting "Fast and Furious 5", use or not?

Wouldn't that make him lose his trust?

Matthew didn't want this most open-minded side of himself to change.

With the box office hits of Fast and Furious 4 and Special Forces, sequels to both films are already on the agenda.

"Fast and the Furious 4" is still produced by David Ellison's Skydance Films, and Matthew and he continue to split the investment and the proceeds as before.

David Ellison has been very busy recently, and the main reason for his busyness is to make a better account for "Fast and Furious 4", and to find a way to increase the cost of the film on the account in order to minimize the profit.

After all, when he and Matthew were promoting and marketing, they swore that all profits from "Fast and Furious 4" would be donated.

Of course, the two of them will keep their promises and donate all the profits. As for the profit of the film, even if it is not to be exaggerated, there are too many places for manipulation.

It is difficult for outsiders to calculate the final cost of publicity and distribution, especially in overseas areas.

Many Hollywood box-office hits are at a loss on the account. For example, "Saving Private Ryan", DreamWorks announced a serious loss at the time, which shocked people outside the industry.

Compared to Matthew's Studio 13, David Ellison and Skydance Pictures, supported by Oracle, are undoubtedly more professional in this regard.

Matthew believes that even if he donates a large sum of money, "Fast and Furious 4" can bring him a lot of money.

Due to the big sales of "Fast and Furious 4", the whole series was revived with blood. After the first week of the film was released, director Justin Lin and screenwriter Chris Morgan brought a team into the creation of "Fast and Furious 5". Stage, the crew including Matthew, like Paul - Walker, Jordana - Brewster, Gal - Gadot and Daniel - Wu Quan will return.

The second supporting actor Tyrese Gibson will also join the racing family in this one.

This is an established role.

In addition ~www.readwn.com~ a Chinese female character will also appear, that is, the role that Matthew will play through the audition on the other side of the Pacific Ocean.

This series will increasingly implement the concept of logging tired.

Matthew took time to discuss with David Ellison once, and then held a three-way joint meeting with Disney to formally determine many matters of "Fast and Furious 5".

The production budget of this film will be increased to 150 million US dollars, and preparations will begin in October at the earliest, aiming to start shooting in the first half of next year, and the 2011 summer schedule will not exceed the Memorial Day schedule at the latest in North America and North America. Simultaneous global release.

The other side of the Pacific is still the focus of the "Fast and Furious 5" Raiders.

Matthew also suggested to wait for the film to be completed and let Disney submit it for review in advance, so as to avoid some troubles as much as possible.

The plan for "Fast and Furious 5" went well, but what Matthew didn't expect was that an unexpected situation occurred in the planning of the "Special Forces" sequel, and Paramount Pictures wanted to replace Stephen Sommers.
