Chapter 43 Breaking 400 million in a single day...(2/5)
On the first day of the release of "Wolf Warrior 2", Lu Xiaoran went to the United States...
But he left a message on Weibo:
"Wolf Warrior 2" is here, trembling...
What he said is true, "Wolf Warrior 2"'s 5.6 billion box office is not trembling...
Anyway, Lao Lu is not sure of the confidence to break the box office record of "Wolf Warrior 2" for the time being...
But netizens don’t understand what he meant, and most people think he was joking - he was trembling when he encountered "The Great Founding of the Army"...
A bunch of people left messages: Don't worry, we will go and see it!
Those who offend our China will be punished even if they are far away??…
The first part of "Wolf Warrior" was shouted too loudly. According to Douban context: It's just like that, the film is too artificial!
In fact, according to the theater's predictions: "Wolf Warrior 2" has an estimated 800 million yuan, and "The Founding of the Army" has a guaranteed minimum of 1.6 billion yuan, which is a recognized top work!
Let me tell you that Orange is also an investor in "The Founding of the Army" - I invested 2%, let's say...
If you don’t vote, will you not give face to the big brother Zhongying?
Bona even paid attention to "The Great Founding of the Army", accounting for 25% of the investment...
Don't put the eggs in the same basket - Bona also cast 20 million in "Wolf Warrior 2"...
The next day, "Wolf Warrior 2" had four times killed "The Founding of the Army", with 210 million yuan in a single day, and the latter was less than 50 million yuan;
On the third day and the fourth day, "Wolf Warrior 2" exceeded 300 million in a single day, and "The Founding of the Army" stabilized at around 54 million...
On the working day, "Wolf Warrior 2" still won 270 million yuan in box office, and the latter's single-day box office has dropped to 27 million yuan...
Once a movie exceeds one billion, and the box office exceeds one billion in a very short time, public opinion will be overwhelming. Weibo, WeChat, major websites, and social occasions you can access, there are people discussing "Wolf Warrior 2"...
Then, some non-video target audiences took the initiative to enter the theater to catch up with the public opinion trend, so as not to leave the topic of friends and have nothing to talk about. Many viewers who only entered the theater once or twice a year dedicated their opportunity to "Wolf Warrior 2"...
Further boosting the box office results of "Wolf Warrior 2"!
What is a phenomenal movie?
"Wolf Warrior 2" is like this!
...
Lu Xiaoran arrived in Boston, met with the main actors of the crew that night, and filming started the next day.
Sometimes I have to sigh at the Hollywood process. So many actors and props can be done in two months.
"The Knife Out" is a suspense story of reasoning and suspense. This kind of story has the advantage of shaping characters because the characters all shoulder important "functionality", especially in an environment where "everyone has secrets", it must be more urgent and accurately demonstrate their characteristics and temperament.
Harlan's eldest daughter Linda.
The actor found Barbara Hirsch, an actress who has worked with Wan Ziren many times. The two have worked with "Luxing" and "Summoning"...
Linda's character, in a simple sentence - she is the most harsh person;
Linda's husband Richard, the son-in-law, is not the kind of son-in-law who comes with his own system, or just a simple person who is just a soft-hearted person - he is the most anxious person, played by Don Johnson;
Then there is Harlan’s youngest son Walter, played by Ray Warner;
——He is the most cowardly and incompetent person.
Joni, the wife of Harlan's deceased son.
The little internet celebrity expert in selling goods, the Invincible White Lotus of the Virgin Mary, Joni seems stupid and cute, but in fact he is the best at pretending. After losing the biggest bond with the Slombian family, she can still maintain close contact with the family, which can explain the problem. Joni carefully maintains her personality because this is the capital she has seized various benefits - she is the person who is most inclined to be invincible.
The actor found Vera Farmega, an important actress in the movie universe of Wan Ziren's "Conjuring";
Walter's son Jacob.
American keyboard warriors, holding their mobile phones online all day to absorb all kinds of rebelliousness and extreme thinking. No one in his family likes him, and he also has an indifferent attitude towards this. "Anyway, there are everything on the Internet, just don't interfere with me in the real world."
This actor is easy to find. Wan Ziren has a bunch of child actors in horror films, and Gabriel Bateman has arranged...
There is another character, 85-year-old Harlan's mother. No one knows how old she is, and no one really wants to spend time communicating with her, because her grandmother is so old that she can hardly talk to others, so that neither Lanson nor Marta regards her as a "threatening" eyewitness, but she is precisely the breakthrough for detective Blank to find out the truth - she symbolizes the ancient perspective of the last era, and also symbolizes the countless voices in society that have been neglected, ignored, and forgotten.
The above are formulaic characters. In addition to these, the most impressive one is Joni's daughter Meg, because she is the closest character to ordinary people.
Relying on the tuition funded by her grandfather, she studied a major that was useless in everyone's eyes. She was a little naive, kind and restrained. The key point was that she was the best person in the Slombian family to care Marta, except Haran.
As a granddaughter who is not very prominent or likable, Meg's status in the family is not high. Coupled with the influence of her mother, she can understand Mata's feelings better than others, think about Mata and share the worries for Mata. It is no exaggeration for the two to say that they are friends, and they think so themselves, so Mata answered Meg's call in chaos...
But Meg pretended to plead as a "friend", which actually meant that the whole family begged her to give up the right of inheritance - because it was related to her own personal interests.
This character has a very strong role, and Wan Ziren recommends Amber Hilde.
A very enchanting actress...
It obviously doesn't match the style of the whole drama...
When I recommended her, Wen Ziren was vague and probably because she was threatened with spitting...
There are so many people spitting in front of you, why did you only catch me and get a fine?
Who made you an honest person?
Lu Xiaoran doesn't care whether she is domestic violence or not. It's fine if she can use it. What I'm talking about is acting. Lao Lu is not the kind of person who begs everywhere - even if someone else has spitted phlegm, I still have to go deeper into the fate.
Tried the mirror once...
It's OK, if the makeup artist puts a little makeup on, it can still cover up the overly beautiful appearance...
Finally, the caregiver Marta.
The discussions on immigration at Harlan’s birthday party were a microcosm of their “condescending” attitude: whether they support foreign immigrants coming to the United States or how to support these foreign immigrants, the Slombian family has a default premise consensus, that is, “power is in our hands.”
Mata is very hardworking and professional, and gives the old man enough care. We recognize you - this is what you should do, and we can even accept you as a "family" as you please - but if you take over the old man's nest and turn over to become the master, then you will be confused and ruin your duty.
Putting himself in his shoes, the Slombian family’s idea is correct. Isn’t it natural for future generations to inherit the property of their elders? But Harlan, who holds the entire collection, is a “rebellious” person. What he values most is not blood ties, but diligence and sincerity.
Decrypt: Lanson knew his grandfather's will and wanted to invalidate the will through the law of murderers. The main purpose was to make Marta lose his inheritance rights.
To be honest, with so many actors, Lu Xiaoran is a little face-blind, and has a bit of bumpy three days ago, and then healed a little...
...
Back to China…
There is no need to go back to China. Even at the shooting site, there is a humanistic Lu Xiaoran’s situation about "Wolf Warrior 2" - this movie is so popular!
Especially this year's Hollywood base camp, North America's summer season hit a new low in the past decade. How low is it? Orange's "Ace Bodyguard" with a start-up score of only $21.6 million can achieve the three consecutive championships on the weekend...
You should know that the box office of "Ace Bodyguard" in North America was only 58.07 million US dollars, and it actually won three consecutive championships...
Starring Ryan Reynolds and S.H.E.L.D. Director Samuel Jackson, both of them cut their salaries and paid a share, with a cost of $32 million...
On the contrary, "Wolf Warrior 2" in the Chinese market shines!
Eight days after its release, the cumulative box office exceeded 2 billion...
It is equivalent to US$280 million, and its cost is RMB250 million, less than US$35 million…
How does Hollywood feel about this?
At first, he scoffed at the nostrils and said that this was "nationalist propaganda", with a box office of 2 billion yuan, and there was no sign of weakening. A group of people began to officially start - after "Wolf Warrior 2" landed in North America, the box office of 1.85 million US dollars in the first weekend was not high, but it also ranked in the top 20 in the rankings...
Rotten Tomatoes rating: The audience's freshness is as high as 88%!
On the tenth day of the release of "Wolf Warrior 2", the eleventh day of the release, we ushered in a single-day box office climax: 405 million and 426 million...
"Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms" trembles...
Then Warner's group came, and read that right, it was really a group of people who came to the filming venue of "The Knife Out", and asked Lu Xiaoran frankly: "Can Wu Jing speak English?"
And "Is Wu Jing interested in starring in Hollywood action movies?"
He even asked directly, "If Wu Jing comes to act in Warner's movie, is five million dollars enough?"
Chapter completed!
