Mixed In the United States As a Local Tyrant - Chapter 467
Chapter 467 The movie is released 【Third watch】
The second day of the visit is to visit, to tour around.
On the third day, according to the requirements, the plane went south to Florida. The Queen’s visit is over, and this is a private part of the trip, because tomorrow Ocean Line’s new cruise ship “Queen Joanna II” will officially make its first commercial voyage, and they are here to support.
It is impossible to participate in the maiden voyage, the time is not suitable, and the security and privacy are not protected. They saw the largest cruise ship ever built at the port pier. The giant’s body outshone all the large cruise ships around and became the most conspicuous overlord.
Its cost is also unprecedented, with an average cost of more than 100 million US dollars per ton, which is dwarfed by any cruise ship. The only pity is that there are not many major ports where it can operate, unless it is traveling around the world, and it specifically calls at the major ports of each country.
Accompanied by senior executives of Ocean Shipping, they boarded this giant cruise ship and walked around in the luxurious interior space. Compared with the previous Queen’s, its luxury level is even worse, and many unexpected things The projects are all brought up, pursuing the ultimate.
What remains unchanged is that the No. 1 suite is still reserved on the top floor, which is not open and is only available for private use. Maybe someday in the future, if they are free, they can still visit with the whole family for leisure… After the visit, An Feng is very satisfied with the current results, and the money spent is acceptable.
After the visit, An Feng went to the company to attend the meeting. According to the results of the discussion by the management, they plan to add two cruise ships to the Mediterranean route, specifically a round-the-clock trip centered on Sardinia, connecting Spain, France, Italy and Tunisia, with a tonnage of less than 200,000.
“Two cruise ships, the Liberty Star and the Liberty Rebirth under construction, we set up a branch office in the port of Olbia in Sardinia, the first stop in Genoa, the second stop in Rome, and then come to Olbi Ya… What do you think of the 14-day sea voyage next?”
An Feng nodded: “Let’s do it like this.”
He only treats the cruise company as entertainment, but he is lucky. This entertainment project can bring some profits after deducting the cost every year. Although it cannot make up for the cost of buying the cruise ship, it feels pretty good without him paying for the management. It’s best to be happy.
After the visit on the third day, they returned.
Before that, Roger spoke to him on the phone and agreed that they would meet in Cagliari.
Back to Cagliari in the afternoon of the next day, the special car that went out to pick up Roger came back, and they hugged and greeted each other.
“Brought you a gift.” Roger handed the gift to him, “There is another surprise—the Blu-ray version of the movie “SFV” that has not yet been released, and it will hardly be changed. To be honest, I just got it, Haven’t watched it yet, I’ll give it to you for the first time.”
“Really?” An Feng took the CD from Roger.
Roger said: “Well, I read a little bit of the beginning.”
An Feng was deeply skeptical, and Roger smiled: “I finished watching it with Miranda, the effect is really good, you will be satisfied!”
An Feng said: “It’s really casual to install it before it’s released, and you’re not afraid of leaks?”
Roger said: “This is the copy given to me by the company. There is only one copy. Don’t worry unless you **** it from me.”
“Okay, let’s go and try first.”
There is a private theater in the hotel, but the conditions are far from An Feng’s at the beginning. The Blu-ray projectors are used here, and the digital projectors he used to be equipped with are all above 4K resolution. All come standard with 8K resolution.
But no matter how bad it is, it is a home theater, with 7.1 surround sound channels, plus indoor lighting effects, and a moderate projection screen is still good. When Joanna, who is out, comes back, the two children will also join in the fun. This summer vacation is planned to be released in mid-June The first movie was staged ahead of schedule.
The beginning of the story is before the virus outbreak, Ms. Roberts announced that Joanna and the foundation acquired the branch of the research center to form the Elizabeth Medical Institute. The camera turned to the busy backstage. The second assistant prepares water.
The actress who played “Joanna” was in this state of star-studded, commanding tasks with a strong woman’s air, and then she appeared at the press conference in person. After the end, I switched to the conversation with her husband in the office, and the other side of her character was very gentle.
In the first few minutes of the story, the actress showed the baroness’s calm and indifferent appearance, but her gentle and virtuous character in private. The story is still attractive. At the same time, the foreshadowing of the future was planted. It was An Feng’s decision to dismantle the research center, and Joanna wanted to form a medical association.
The 140-minute story is divided into three parts. The first part focuses on the superior life of the hero and heroine, reflecting the elegant temperament of the heroine, and the genius, husband and role model dad played by the hero. And this wonderfulness will also be fragmented in the future.
The second part is very short, the story has ups and downs, the flu appears, and the experts of the Medical Association find something unusual. The scene turns to the United States, restoring the original facts, and then comes to the hero, showing his doubts about the vaccine, the heroine’s warning, and the subsequent conflicts.
The third part is the climax of the film, which is also the place with the highest cost, employing a large number of extras, filming in many countries, and the vision of the air and the ground. The panic and despair of the coming doomsday, the leading role of the male protagonist and the independent role of the female protagonist are vividly displayed.
The hero’s life is hanging by a thread. When the story is fast-paced, it suddenly slows down. He talks optimistically and encourages his family members in the hospital bed, and then switches to the scene of his death. Stand up strong afterwards…
The ups and downs of the story are concentrated after the opening 30 minutes. The plot is very compact. The gloomy days are in sharp contrast to the life of the previous glamorous and rich people. It highlights the personalities of the two characters and creates a positive image. The rich man finally saved the world. .
After watching the movie, An Feng applauded: “After watching it, I realized that I have so many advantages!”
Joanna is also satisfied: “I’m afraid the film crew has spent a lot of thought.”
Roger said: “The first part focuses on creating a very beautiful, even fairy tale world, but it is worthy of the real life of the two of you.”
An Feng said: “There are a little more artistic processing, but overall it still fits the reality.”
The life in the front part is like the princes and nobles of the last century. Since the shooting location is in the manor, the gold medal film crew showed the details of the manor and mansion very well. After reading it, An Feng felt that the house he had lived in for so many years was so majestic when photographed from this angle.
As the protagonist in reality, I am very satisfied with the authenticity, especially the life in the first part, which is a bit perfect, but the gap is not too big, meticulous butler, dedicated servants, and luxurious vehicles, gilded gorgeous halls, high-class Society’s Fun Ball…
The latter part of the plot is very fast-paced, and a lot of plots are fabricated to show that they are rich and kind. This is a bit too much, but ignoring the process and referring to the beginning and the ending, it is the same in reality-the nuclear bunker is ignored in the movie, the priority refuge plan of their group of rich people.
Roger asked them: “10 out of 10, how much can you score?”
An Feng thought for a while: “Nine points, if you watch it as a feature film, it is worth experiencing repeatedly, but as a commercial film, I feel that the plot is not strong enough.”
“Nine points.” Joanna also said, “I trust my husband.”
Roger smiled: “Look, I just said it wasn’t true, but now I’m bringing the love in the movie to reality. If I say it, I’ll give it 10!”
…
This movie, which satisfies real people, cost 230 million U.S. dollars to shoot, did not use many special effects, and the plot is also an interaction between people. More than 200 million yuan is a very high cost, usually tens of millions can be achieved, but a lot of luxurious clothing is used in it. According to the promotion of the film, ten sets of dresses for the heroine alone are prepared, and there are various Clothes and jewellery, some are custom made.
The cost of luxurious costumes and scenes is very high, and the filming location has been moved to different continents, which is also the reason for the high cost. The content of this film has no commercial atmosphere, and the investment is in line with the commercialization of the film, which is very special. The arrangement of the film crew also highlights this point, and it has been busy with publicity in May.
Not only in North America, there are promotional activities in Europe and Asia, as well as in South America. After all, the popularity of the Ans couple is worldwide. It is said that there are 500 million loyal fans. They call themselves “honorary citizens” of the kingdom. According to the leader of the fans, there are more than 2 billion people who like them.
Only a small number of fans need to watch the movie, and this movie will be unbeatable at the box office.
Under the hemorrhage of the film company’s publicity, this much-anticipated film was first released in North America in mid-June. Usually, the summer holiday is the key time for North American box office competition. You have to be accompanied, so there are many customers.
“SFV” was released at zero o’clock, and the box office on the first day of the next day’s statistics reached 61 million US dollars, which is very high, but it did not break the record. For a film with certain fans, it is not bad to achieve such a result, but I am a little sorry It is said to have a fan base of 500 million.
The weekend box office was fixed at 180 million US dollars, which is very successful in commercial productions, but the fact proves that the box office is very mysterious, and the main force of fans is very scary. Different from the past, it has achieved amazing results in European releases. Contributed $310 million over the weekend.
The film company quickly realized that there are not many regions with serious fans, because there are only more than 300 million people in North America, and the economic downturn in the United States is also an influencing factor. And in Europe, which was hit hardest by the virus at the time, it is also the fastest economic recovery.
Europe has a population of more than 800 million, which is much larger than that in North America. The technological innovation in recent years has also allowed them to update a lot of theaters. As a result, they unexpectedly rose in Europe and continued to rise. It is said that the number of moviegoers in Sardinia reaches 90% of the total population.
Europe also received rave reviews. Regardless of Europeans’ love of art, there is an urgent need for positive energy movies, especially after experiencing a virus war that was worse than the two world wars. This film, which claims to have the help of the royal family and is very close to the real story, is naturally popular.
In three days, the box office in Europe and North America reached 552 million, and it is almost certain to break through 1 billion. The film crew is full of confidence, because there will be Asia, which will grow rapidly. They’re going to keep bombarding the hype, positioning the film at the world record of over two billion at the global box office.
