Director’s Legend - Chapter 372

After the closing of the second Beijing International Film Festival, the global battle of “Avengers” officially started. .

Everyone is looking forward to the movie’s release, and also looking forward to the box office bomb power of this three-year-old movie. Shao Shuaijun is also looking forward to it.

However, he has to be busy again.

The scripts of the four major fantasy series were sent to his home in piles.

Xu Zeng and Huang Bo also came to the door. Six years ago, the “People on the Journey” laughed at countless people. Six years later, Xu Zeng took the script of “People on the Journey of Thailand” carefully prepared by him. Found Shao Shuaijun.

That year, Shao Shuaijun helped him to help Xu Peng film “People on the Road”, and then Xu Peng continued to move to film and television. Within a few years, he tinkered with the film himself, but the film was in a mess. It took a few years to rest. Go to the profession of film director.

Now, Xu Zeng, who feels that he has honed enough, finally plans to re-emerge.

“Old Xu, this is a good book. I’ll improve it for you. You can call the crew now. Are you starring with Huang Bo and Bao Qiang?” Shao Shuaijun asked with the still naive script.

“Well, Huang Bo and I are old partners. Now Huang Bo is a big star in film and television, and asked me how high the pay is. If he is a bit famous, I don’t want to ask him.” Xu Ceng said in a funny way .

Huang Bo twisted his neck: “Old Xu, you are not authentic, I also participated in the book, you have taken the credit, and you have said the cold words?”

We are all old friends, and we often quarrel.

“Let me polish up the book first. This story is very good, and it will definitely sell well.” Shao Shuaijun ignored the two men’s play.

Xu Peng stretched his head and said: “A Jun, why don’t you also come in for a guest appearance? Borrowing some fame to me, I am still a little worried when I come out again this time.

“Don’t, my movie addiction is over in “Old Boy”, so let’s go, Jiahe Entertainment’s big and small stars, you pick whatever you want, I’ll tell you which one you see.”

“That’s fine, let’s be a soldier.”

“You old Xu, I said that the artists under the Jiahe brand, Fan Bingbing has started his own company. This is hard for me.”

“Just kidding, can you still invite Fan Bingbing? Besides, it’s not me who is ashamed of you if you don’t invite me. Hey, by the way, do you have time to act as a producer?”

“I’m afraid there is no time. You go to Thailand to make a movie. I don’t have time to fly to Thailand. Now the creation of the four major magic series is dragging me.” Shao Shuaijun shook his head.

Who knows that Xu Zheng patted his thigh: “Great, since you don’t have time, then you can be a producer for us.”

“I knew you would say this. Okay, I’ll be a producer for you.” Shao Shuaijun knows what Xu Zheng thinks. As long as any producer will control the director and get in the way, Xu Zheng will let Shao Shuaijun be a producer. I can make movies as I want.

After discussing with Xu Zheng, Huang Bo, etc., Jiahe Entertainment immediately announced the establishment of the project of “Taiyu”. Xu Zheng pulled the banner of Shao Shuaijun by the way: “This movie will be managed by me, Huang Bo and Shao. The director researched and wrote the script together, directed by Shao, and directed by myself. It is an upgraded version of “People on the Road”. The main characters are me, Huang Bo and Baoqiang. We also invited Fan Bingbing to join. Shot in Thailand.”

At the same time, on the 25th of “The Avengers”, this Wednesday, it was the first to be released in 10 countries and regions including Australia, New Zealand and the Treasure Island. The box office returned the next day, immediately detonating a new wave of the Women’s Federation.

“The Avengers” opened in Australia and won US$6.2 million, which is far more than the opening day of “Batman: The Dark Knight” of US$250. It became a comic-based movie and the highest opening box office in Australia. recording. It is second only to “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Part 2 with 7 million opening pictures and the second place in Australian film history.

In China’s treasure island area, “Avengers” also holds the highest annual drawing and the highest drawing in film history on Wednesday, attracting 1.2 million US dollars, second only to the previous “Spider-Man 3”, ranking No. two. However, “Spider-Man 3” is a Labor Day holiday, and “Avengers” is a non-holiday holiday.

In the 10 overseas markets that were the first to open on Wednesday, the “Avengers” achieved an outstanding opening of $17.1 million.

In addition, according to the statistics of the online ticketing website vie-tickets, the current pre-sale volume of the Women’s Federation in North America is also astonishing, 1.5 times the total sales volume of the 5 films that Marvel had laid for it during the same period! Among the ticket buyers, 56% of the audience chose 3d, while nearly 37% of movie fans chose imax-3d.

Following the opening of the painting’s first day, the women’s federation landed in the United Kingdom on Thursday after scoring 17.1 million US dollars in ten countries and regions. Up to now, the freshness of “Avengers” on Rotten Tomatoes has reached 96%, the imdb score is also as high as 8.9 points, and the eight media that have given reviews on the metac daily tic website also have no negative reviews.

The word of mouth is bursting, and the box office is bursting!

From April 27th to 29th, box offices in overseas markets surfaced.

It was screened on 963 screens in South Korea and mobilized as many as 1.342578 viewers, winning the championship with an overwhelming surname, and the box office score was three times that of the second place. The eve of the screening event held on the evening of the 25th alone attracted 72,872 viewers, and became the well-deserved first place among all the films released in South Korea that day. Since its release on April 26, the film has attracted a total of 1.636184 viewers, setting multiple Hollywood box office records in South Korea.

In the Treasure Island area, in the first week, Taiwan broke the box office of nearly NT$200 million in Taipei, and broke the box office record of the first week of the year with magnificent momentum. The box office was ten times that of the second place “Super Battleship”. .

In Hong Kong, it won the championship with 5.68 million Hong Kong dollars for the first time and 34.25 million Hong Kong dollars for the first week…

As of the end of the 29th, the “Avengers” has opened paintings in 39 regions, with a performance of 195 million U.S. dollars over the weekend and over 230 million U.S. dollars in the first week. This result seems to be insignificant on the whole, and it is not ranked in the history of shadows, but it only opened in 39 regions. The largest ticket warehouse, China, the United States, Russia and Japan, has not yet been released!

“The Avengers are hanging up! The highest box office of Shao Shuaijun’s movie is about to be born!” The audience who had watched the movie all cheered wildly.

This superhero blockbuster, which invested 230 million US dollars and was planned for more than three years, brought together six superheroes. Not only did there not appear to be a tragic end that was too crowded and easy to tear down the stage, but it became more and more intense, blowing a phenomenon-level gale.

“Film Event of the Year!”

“Time” was released to the Women’s Federation with the title of Pull Wind.

“Shao, the time for Marvel comics to dominate the film industry has arrived!” Kevin Feige called and announced cheerfully.

“Shao, our movie has returned to its original value!” Mitchell also called excitedly. It was only shown in 39 overseas regions. The US$230 million investment in “Avengers” and large publicity expenses have been collected. Came back.

Among them, 230 million US dollars in the box office, some are divided, and some are copyright sales, at least 100 million dollars in return. Commercial placement, pervasive advertising, especially the logos of various stores in the New York War, counted, the placement of advertising alone would not be less than $150 million in revenue. These two items add up to offset the investment.

Then, the popularity of peripheral products and the popularity of pre-sale tickets not only eliminated the publicity expenses, but also the profits were continuously flowing into the top entertainment account.

If you calculate the special effects account, the investment in the film will not reach 230 million US dollars.

Because the special effects modeling of superheroes is a continuation of the previous movies, and the special effects models that have been made before are directly used in the movies, and the cost has long been shared in the investment of the previous movies. The industrialization of Hollywood movies is absolutely world-class. It is like the special effects model of Iron Man. It is extended from Steel 1, and Steel 2 has been modified with a small amount, and then used directly by the Women’s Federation. In the future, Steel 3, Women’s Federation 2 will be used. In steel 4, steel 5, steel 6, and so on, the real investment is far less than the explosion cost.

Hollywood has not fallen for a hundred years, and it has always been the center of the world’s cinema. Naturally, there is a reason for its existence!

There is a long way to go for Chinese films to achieve such an industrialized production path!

Of course, this is not the time to pay attention to this. After the first week of “Avengers” overseas, it finally attracted the collective release of major ticket warehouses. China, North America, and Russia will all start their theaters in the first week of May!

In the second week of overseas box office, the fighting power once again exploded. In a single week, overseas box office was US$168 million, which was a drop of less than 15% compared to the previous week. Among them, it received US$17.9 million for 4 days of screening in Russia, and US$20.4 million (150 million yuan) for 2 days of screening in China.

Easily created a new record of comics adapted movies.

Up to now, the country with the highest overseas box office of “Avengers” is the United Kingdom, with a cumulative box office of 48.6 million U.S. dollars, followed by Mexico and Australia with 41.2 million and 33.2 million U.S. dollars respectively.

Especially in China, in two days 150 million yuan, the “Avengers” assembled by the six superheroes has surpassed the total box office revenue of “Captain America”, “Thor”, “Iron Man”, and It exceeds the total box office revenue of “Spider-Man”, “Spider-Man 2”, “Wolverine” and “Spider-Man 3” both created for Marvel. To surpass the “Iron Man 2” total score of 178 million, now seems to be easy.

Only two weeks after the release, the overseas box office of “Avengers” has reached 461.5 million US dollars. The movie overlord adapted from Marvel comics has already emerged in advance, and it is not difficult to defeat the “Batman: The Dark Knight” adapted from dc comics!

While hoisting the sky overseas, North America is also hoisting the sky. To be precise, it has exceeded the limit! (To be continued.)
