It's reasonable for me, a stuntman, to live a crazy life, right?

Chapter 431: Engaging in shady activities? one comes! Die! New record! Break another record! Big rec

The box office of "Superman" and "Thor" continues to rise, and they are both making great strides towards the 100 million yuan mark.

On the other hand, the world premiere of "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn" also opened successfully!

The scene was still full of stars, the creative team was all present, and big-name guests from all walks of life came in droves. It was a noisy and lively event.

It is also the fourth film, and it is also about selling emotions, but "Twilight Saga 4" has created data that "Shrek 4" can't match.

The latter's first-weekend box office in North America was only a measly US$70 million, but the former set a first-day box office record of US$90 million just on the day of its release, which is a huge hit!

The North American first-day and single-day box office records in the first half of 2010 were successfully refreshed, and "The Twilight Saga" continued the brilliant record of the first three films.

Time flies by, and the three-day box office for the first weekend in North America was released on June 14th.

$215 million!

At this point, the box office record has been refreshed again, and "The Twilight Saga" has become the first North American movie to have a box office of over 200 million after "Inception".

While reporting frantically, the media also announced the inferences and conclusions of various data research studies.

According to the previous opening and box office ratios of the first three films, the performance of the fourth film in North America alone will surely easily exceed US$400 million, or even challenge US$500 million.

Combined with the special attributes of 3D movies and the excellent reputation of the movie, maybe we can try to hit 600 million US dollars!

As for Mainland China, even with "Superman" and "Thor" leading the way, "The Twilight Saga" still achieved excellent box office results after its release.

70 million yuan on the first day, and exceeded the 200 million mark in the first three days of the weekend, settling on the figure of 205 million yuan.

It's a pity that "Thor" was successfully suppressed, but "Super Body" is still in the lead with a score of 260 million yuan.

However, according to the box office growth trend of the former, it is estimated that it will be beaten down before long.

Even though Liu Yifei is in "Super Body", the latter's popularity, popularity and 3D special effects are still very strong. There are so many people who go to the theater to support it.

Here in the Mainland, the bosses of many film production companies are already wiping their sweat.

Fortunately, these imported films are all scheduled in June. If they were placed in the second half of the year, wouldn't they be able to overwhelm domestic films every minute?

In fact, "The Hunger Games" has already set a North American release date, and the time is set in December. After all, it will inevitably have to be released with "Tangled", "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1", and "Nani". The movies "Asian Legends 3: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader" and "Tron: Legacy" have begun.

Chen Fei originally decided to put North America and China at the same time, but in the end he was stopped by Han Sanping and forced to move it back a month.

There is no way, the Lunar New Year period in the Mainland has almost become a battleground for military strategists, and several domestic blockbusters are preparing to be released at that time.

If "The Hunger Games" were to come in at this time, it would really be like "a wild wolf enters the sheepfold - kill them all"!

After watching these domestic films several times, which one can compete with blockbusters with an investment of nearly 200 million US dollars?

One of them will die!

"Is the post-production of "Hunting" almost finished? People in Venice have started signing up!"

Jiang Wen seemed to be particularly interested in Chen Fei's new movie. From time to time, he would call and ask about the situation, as if he was also involved.

"It's almost time. It will take more than 10 days." Chen Fei replied.

"Have you paid attention to the Shanghai International Film Festival these days?"

"I didn't pay much attention! What happened? Something happened again? Didn't Wang Xiaoshuai withdraw the article?"

Chen Fei immediately became curious. It seemed that Jiang Wen made this call to chat with him.

"Jiang Wenli's debut film won the Best Film Award in the Asian Film Section."

"What the hell??? Are you really doing something shady like this?"

Chen Fei was a little confused. Wang Xiaoshuai scolded him personally. Netizens were also adding fuel to the flames, but it didn't affect the organizers of the Magic City International Film Festival.

The head is really strong!

"What's this? There's more." Jiang Wen sneered and said, "Maybe in order to add gold to the film festival, the Golden Goblet Award for Outstanding Artistic Contribution was given to a French director, but he didn't even come to the scene."

"This is not bad. It fits the style of those old men who adore foreign things." Chen Fei was already used to it.

"There is one more thing related to you."

"With me?" Chen Fei was a little confused, "I didn't go to participate, I didn't send a movie to the competition, and I wasn't even in the mainland. How can it be blamed on me?"

Jiang Wen said, "Feng Xiaogang scolded Harvey Weinstein who left the show early in front of all the Hollywood film companies, and then... got into big trouble."

Harvey Weinstein?

Hearing this name, Chen Fei frowned subconsciously.

This bitch is not a good person!

In 1979, Harvey Weinstein and his brother Bob co-founded Miramax Film Company. The company was acquired by Disney in 1993. The brothers subsequently founded the Weinstein Film Company in 2005.

Although this guy is ugly, he is very capable at work.

In the past few decades, he may be the person who has been thanked the most at the Oscars. The media even said that he has the ability to "turn stone into gold". As long as he falls in love with a certain movie, the movie may appear in the following year. on the Oscar list.

Many film history classics, such as "Shakespeare in Love", "Pulp Fiction", "Sex, Lies and Videotape", "The King's Speech", "The Artist", "The English Patient" and other classics, have Harvey Wayne behind them Stan's name.

The famous American director Quentin is even his friend, and "Inglourious Basterds" is a work released by the Weinstein Company.

However, this bitch has a very perverted hobby, which is to engage in "hidden rules"!

In the past few years since Chen Fei came to Hollywood, he has heard that many female stars were sexually harassed by Harvey Weinstein.

Due to various reasons, most actresses chose to settle down in the end.

In addition to having a notorious reputation in Hollywood, he also has a lot of slutty tricks in China.

In order to fight for the distribution rights of Chinese-language films, he often quoted high prices to grab the North American distribution rights of the films from his American counterparts.

However, after signing the contract, he would only give a small deposit.

After the movie is released, he will suddenly say that he won't buy it, or he will charge an extremely low price.

The "Night Banquet" directed by Feng Xiaogang has been played with in this way before.

The two sides have been feuding for a long time, and Feng Xiaogang has a bad temper. This time he finally couldn't bear it anymore and angrily criticized Harvey Weinstein directly in front of a group of Hollywood producers at the film festival.

"But, what does this have to do with me? I have nothing to do with Harvey Weinstein?" Chen Fei was a little confused.

"Huayi's stock has fallen!"

"Okay, so that's it. Hey, I thought Feng Xiaogang scolded me at the Magic City International Film Festival. The stock just dropped a few points. Let him go. Feng Xiaogang's scolding made me feel bad. It’s also comfortable, haha.”

Chen Fei smiled and didn't pay much attention to this matter.

He knew that Huayi was recently cooperating with the Weinstein Company, and it seemed that they were filming some kind of "The Spy".

Now Feng Xiaogang suddenly started to argue. Isn't this equivalent to scolding his partner?

The stocks on the GEM are prone to jump up and down. Now that Feng Xiaogang has suddenly made such a move, there will definitely be some fluctuations.

"You are quite generous. Nearly 10 million yuan has been lost. Don't you feel bad for it?"

Because of filming "Let the Bullets Fly", Jiang Wen was actually quite poor recently, so when he saw the news that Huayi's stock price fell, he couldn't help but call Chen Fei.

"What's so distressing about this? It's only 10 million yuan, the key is that it's fun to scold, haha!"

"Well, you are quite generous!"

Jiang Wen could only express his envy. He was just waiting for "Let the Bullets Fly" to be released, and then there would be a wave of bloodshed, otherwise the family would almost be in trouble.

But what about Chen Fei?

With a net worth of several billion dollars, he is extremely rich!

Jiang Wen has even thought about it. He must involve Chen Fei in his next movie. With such wealthy investors, there is no need to worry about losing the filming funds.

After a brief chat, the two ended the call.

Chen Fei continued to work on the post-production of "Hunting", and from time to time he would pay attention to the box office performance of several popular movies.

As July approaches, Illumination Entertainment's first animated film "Despicable Me" has launched a promotional plan. Unfortunately, due to "The Twilight Saga", the popularity has been somewhat weak for a while.

Not to be outdone, Universal Pictures continued to invest money, and it felt like it was sinking the boat.

Their goals have always been "How to Train Your Dragon" and "Shrek 4". They are very confident, but they just don't know whether they will be accepted by North American audiences after they are released.

~

Time has come to the end of June in a blink of an eye.

The box office of "How to Train Your Dragon" is basically fixed at the range of 650 million US dollars, and there is basically no big increase. Although it is still being released in a few countries, the box office is only one million, which is almost equivalent to nothing.

Taking advantage of media reports, Spielberg officially announced to the outside world that he would start filming "Transformers 3".

For a time, the media's attention was focused on that side.

The first two parts of the "Transformers" series have brought a lot of revenue to DreamWorks and have also won praise from fans. Now the filming plan for the third part is about to start. Doesn't this mean that another blockbuster movie is about to be launched? Admission?

At the same time, after nearly two months of release, the North American box office of "Iron Man" has officially been set at US$370 million. There is no hope of reaching US$400 million.

However, the total global box office performance is quite impressive, soaring to 800 million U.S. dollars, directly surpassing the record of the first film!

In an interview with the media, Kevin Feige said that preparations for "Iron Man 3" will start next year, and it will meet the audience in 2012 at the latest.

In addition, he also announced that preparations for "Avengers" have been completed and will be released in theaters around the world next year at the latest.

"This movie will be directed by Fei himself. In it you will see many superheroes including Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Hulk, Black Widow, Hawkeye and others. The investment is as high as 2.5 billion, please wait and see..."

As soon as the press release was released, Marvel fans were so excited that the box office performance of "Thor" ushered in a wave of reverse growth!

Even the popularity of "Captain America: The First Avenger", which will be released in July, has been greatly increased, and this has also made Universal Pictures inexplicably nervous.

"Despicable Me" will be released on July 9th, and "Captain America: The First Avenger" will be released on July 16th. There is only one week between the two parties, so a "box office battle" is bound to happen!

"Continue to increase publicity efforts..." the CEO of Universal Pictures gave the order with a gloomy face.

He is really greedy for all kinds of income in the field of animated movies, so this "Despicable Me" must be successful and must not fail!

On June 30, Chen Fei sent the successfully produced film "Hunting" to the Venice Film Festival.

On July 1st, the Venice Film Festival couldn’t wait to announce the news.

For a time, North America and the Mainland exploded!

On Weibo, movie fans and followers rushed to Chen Fei's account one after another and started an extremely heated discussion.

"Damn it! Director Chen sent his film to Venice to compete for the Golden Lion, right?"

"Hahaha, Grand Slam! The Grand Slam achievement is about to happen!"

"Awesome! This is my top director in China. He is aiming for the top three in Europe. Isn't this Golden Lion already within reach?"

"We'll see..."

The news spread like wildfire, and almost everyone in the circle knew about it.

Xu Ke smiled bitterly and immediately sentenced "Di Renjie: The Tongtian Empire" to death.

"It would be good to go to Venice to sell the copyright..." He could only comfort himself in this way.

On the other side, Wu Yu's face suddenly darkened after receiving the news, and he felt as if he had eaten a dead fly.

He has already contacted the Venice Film Festival. This time he is going as a guest, and he might even get an achievement award or something.

But Chen Fei suddenly made a movie to participate in the competition, which made him feel very sick.

If "Hunting" wins the award, wouldn't he still have to applaud?

"No, we can't let him win the prize. We have to give him a stumbling block." Wu Yu's face was gloomy. After thinking for a moment, he took out his mobile phone and rummaged through his address book.

After a while, his eyes were fixed on a person's name.

Quentin Tarantino!

The chairman of the jury of this Venice International Film Festival has been confirmed to be Quentin Quentin, and this person is a person who "does not shy away from relatives" and has never followed the routine. At the 2004 Cannes International Film Festival At the film festival, the Palme d'Or was awarded to a controversial work "Fahrenheit 9/11."

And now that he is the chairman of the jury of the Venice Film Festival, he has a very high say, and he might kick "The Hunt" out!

On this side, Wu Yu began to have evil intentions, but on the other side in Los Angeles, Chen Fei focused on the box office results of several movies.

The North American box office of "Thor" is fixed at US$220 million, with a very slow increase.

As for the total global box office, it has reached 480 million US dollars. According to the analysis of the data department, it should eventually climb to the range of 550 million-600 million US dollars.

On the other hand, "Twilight Saga 4" is a bit exaggerated.

20 days after its release, the North American box office easily exceeded US$300 million and reached US$365 million. It is already close to breaking through US$400 million.

As for the mainland, it is a bit exaggerated. Now it has exceeded 500 million yuan, leaving "Super Body" far behind.

The reason for such achievements is naturally because the market is constantly expanding, and the appeal of 3D movies is simply too great.

Today, the total global box office of "The Twilight Saga" has exceeded US$700 million, temporarily ranking second in the year, second only to Walt Disney's "Alice in Wonderland."

Following the failure of "Prince of Persia: The Knife of Time," Disney seems to have taken a breath and suddenly increased its promotion efforts for "Alice in Wonderland."

The box office performance of this live-action animated film has reached 950 million U.S. dollars. Although the North American box office performance is not very good, the overseas box office performance is quite high, and it is very hopeful to exceed 1 billion U.S. dollars.

Natasha is quite confident in her own movie and vowed at the meeting: "If this kind of pseudo-3D movie can break 1 billion US dollars, then our "Twilight Saga 4" will definitely surpass it!"

Chen Fei agreed with this.

When it comes to distribution channels, although Walt Disney Pictures is not as good as Disney, it is not far behind.

Especially in Asia, the distribution channels of Pan-Asian theaters are fully mature, and the film schedule is very full every day, which makes the box office data very impressive.

As time goes by, I believe it will not be difficult to surpass "Alice in Wonderland".

After analyzing a number of blockbusters with investment of hundreds of millions of dollars, everyone's attention finally fell on "Super Body".

One month after its release, the U.S. box office reached US$130 million. This is an achievement achieved by "Super Body"!

The cost has been recovered, and the next step is pure profit.

Although the lMDb score dropped below 7 points, this will not affect overseas box office data.

Liu Yifei is currently very busy, traveling around the world with her mother and other creative members of "Super Body", just to make the global box office figures higher.

As for the promotional activities in the mainland, all promotional activities have been declared over, because when the time enters July, the key period has arrived, and the movie will naturally be released.

Because of "Thor" and "The Twilight Saga 4", the box office of "Superbody" in the mainland was inevitably affected.

But even so, with the end of the one-month release period, the mainland box office is still fixed at 460 million yuan.

As for the global box office, it has now exceeded US$380 million, heading straight towards US$400 million!

Chen Fei briefly browsed the reports on major film and television information websites. Without exception, exclamations filled the front pages.

""Super Body" has a box office of 460 million in the mainland and 130 million US dollars in North America. Liu Yifei's second female protagonist movie is another success!"

""Mulan" has a domestic box office of 637 million yuan and a total overseas box office of 213 million US dollars. "Super Body" has a domestic box office of 460 million yuan and a global total of 380 million US dollars... According to the current exchange rate, Liu Yifei's personal box office performance has exceeded 700 million. U.S. dollars! Converted into RMB, the amount is astonishingly 4.6 billion! It’s really shocking!”

"The actress with the highest commercial value in Mainland China deserves the title!!!"
