Chapter 556 The man from the kingdom of kung fu

After the East Film Festival, He Mu did not return home immediately. Instead, he took advantage of the subsequent influence of winning the award and sold "Zi Buyu" to several small Asian countries who were interested in her at a very considerable price, and formulated a series of Japanese publicity strategies with Sony. Sony was very puzzled, very troubled, and even a little unhappy about He Mu's resolute refusal to let Xiao Shuidian participate in the promotion of the movie. Sony was very puzzled, and he was also very troubled, and even a little unhappy. Now it seems that Xiao Shuidian, who won the Best Actress Award at the age of nine, has already had a very high popularity in Japan. He is also a Little Shuidian, whose Asian face is smaller than Abigil Bryslin, makes the Japanese feel more intimate. Her high popularity is not even worse than He Mu who has accumulated over the years. Who said that the Japanese live in the second dimension? They have never had any resistance to cute people. If the little film queen like a porcelain doll can come to Japan to record a few shows and attend a few fan meetings, it will definitely be of great benefit to the box office of the movie.

However, He Mu was very persistent. If you beg him with soft words, he would politely refuse. If you coerce and tempt, he would slap the table and stare. If you really roll up your sleeves and fight, these little Japanese are very upset with him. He Mu has a criminal record of fighting against Japan. In the end, the staff in charge of publicity and distribution had to formulate a publicity strategy with He Mu as the main and Alan, the original comics as the supplement.

Sony will have such compromises. In addition to He Mu's unreasonable and stubborn persistence, to a certain extent, it is also because "Cold Heart" performed very well in the first week of North America. He Mu himself has also attracted the attention of Hollywood. He has already initially possessed the capital to be known as an "international star".

On November 1, North America's box office results were released last week. The most eye-catching thing about this week are naturally the results of the three horror films PK, "Saw 7", "Cold Heart" and "Agility: Ghost Records 2". Which one is better and which is more scary is a hot topic that lasts for a week.

"The Legend of the Ghost 2" released in the second week is average, and two similar films with good equivalents have seized market share. So it only has a brilliant week, with a drop of 59.4% in the second week. It earned 16 million US dollars in three days on the weekend, and the cumulative box office reached 65 million. Compared with its production cost of 3 million US dollars, this box office is enough to make Paramount laugh so hard that his mouth cramps, but it is probably impossible to achieve the first box office miracle of over 100 million in North America. This week, "The Legend of the Ghost 2" has third place in the weekly list.

The "Saw" series is already a little tired from the seventh part. So when the series ended, it played a 3D game, which increased the cost of this part to $20 million. It invested the largest part in the series, but unfortunately the audience didn't seem to be so convinced. "Saw 7" released by Lionsgate Pictures opened at 2,800 halls, and the scale of the opening was far less than "Ghost Records 2". The final results can only be said to be. There was no big surprise, which basically met the industry's expectations.

"Saw 7" has a box office of 21 million in three days in the first weekend, and the box office is Friday > Saturday > Sunday. For a sequel horror film with a bad reputation, this is still relatively normal. This result is only half of the first week of "Ghost Records 2". Coupled with the box office of the previous small-scale trial, the box office of the first week was 22.5 million. In the entire series of seven plots, its results ranked fourth. With its final chapter, the gimmick of 3D horror films is very disproportionate. The media expects that the "Mr. Jigsaw"'s results of Golden Basin will eventually be around 40 million US dollars. "Saw 7" lost to "Cold Heart" in the first week, ranking second.

If "Saw 7" brings disappointment to the audience and gives people a mediocre feeling, then "Cold Heart" is a big surprise for those who are disappointed by the chainsaw.

"Cold Heart" opens paintings with 2,500 halls, and is the smallest of the three Halloween thrillers. Who makes it not a sequel? Without the mass base of the previous work, "Cold Heart" can only rely on the wider audience of R-level moviegoers, the star effect of big-name actors, and the reputation of well-known directors to ensure that these factors attract audiences to enter the cinema, and rely on the reputation of these audiences to be reflected on the Internet, attracting more audiences to enter the cinema with the positive reviews of face waves, twitter, imdb and other online communities and websites, to form a virtuous cycle.

Unlike "Saw 7"'s box office decline day by day, the box office of "Cold Heart" is rising every day, with a box office of 8.9 million on the first day, a box office of 10.9 million on the second day, and a box office of 11.8 million on the third day, a box office of 13 million on the Sunday, a box office of 31.6 million on the first weekend of the first weekend! A single museum closed at 12,600 US dollars! If this result is equivalent to a box office of over 200 million in the first week, it will undoubtedly become the most successful movie in He Mu's acting career. This week, "Cold Heart" topped the box office list and replaced "Ghost Records 2" to become the new weekly champion.

In the 2010 Halloween schedule led by "Cold Heart", in the last week of October, it successfully advanced to the highest record in this schedule, surpassing the 92.3 million US dollars created when he led the "American Version of Grudge" in 2004, reaching an astonishing US$102.5 million! It created a new historical record, and "Cold Heart" appeared as a dark horse is an indelible contribution.

Although the score was 12,900 yuan in the single-player "Ghost Record 2" last week, and the box office in the first week was nearly 10 million US dollars, but the box office was not as good as the top, and it was more than the bottom. The data of "Cold Heart" in all aspects exceeded that of "Saw 7", which made Lions Gate who gave up "Cold Heart" regret it. You should know that this movie originally belonged to them. The production cost of "Cold Heart" was lower than that of "Saw 7", but the box office was much higher. I believe that President Jon is now having a headache about how to explain the force of Jeff and the "Cold Heart" team. Moreover, "Cold Heart" has a better reputation than both films. The media expects that the film will eventually reach 80 million in North America, which may be the same as the box office of "Cold Heart" which has a huge performance in opening.

This made Jeff very happy. At the beginning, Touchstone wanted to buy out the North American distribution rights for $9 million, but he refused. Later, it was changed to the share. The North American box office would have to reach about 40 million. The share of the Rubik's Cube would be equivalent to the buyout income. It would take 50 million to reach his expected buyout price. Now it seems that the final box office of "Cold Heart" must be far beyond his expectations! Horror films have always been the darling of the DVD market. It goes without saying how a horror film with both reputation and box office can gain in the DVD market. For Rubik's Cube Pictures, this is another considerable high income, which means that Rubik's Cube will get more profits from "Cold Heart" and use it for the company's expansion.

"Cold Heart" is a big hit in North America, and the biggest beneficiary is undoubtedly the emerging film company Rubik's Cube Pictures. Although this film was not directly released by Rubik's Cube, and the logo at the beginning of the movie is also a touchstone, through the operation of the touchstone and its performance in the market, the brand "Cold Heart" has been popular, and it is almost self-evident what the Rubik's Cube, which owns the copyright of "Cold Heart", will do. Rubik's Cube has the foundation for promotion to a well-known independent studio.

Next, the Rubik's Cube will independently operate Wan Ziren's other horror film "Luxing" ("Yin' Room"), with "Cold Heart" as the foundation, and the Rubik's Cube already has certain strength. Jeff believes that "Luxing" will have a good result. Even if it fails, isn't it still available for "Cold Heart 2", a low-cost horror film with a production fee of 1.5 million US dollars, the Rubik's Cube can still bear it. Now Jeff is rich.

In addition to Rubik's Cube Pictures, two other biggest beneficiaries are Wan Ziren and He Mu.

Wan Ziren's performance in both "Death Penalty" and "Death Silence" before "Cold Heart" was mediocre, and the production cost increased, but the box office was not as good as "Saw" which cost 1.2 million yuan. Some people say that he would be useless if he left the "Saw" series, but he used "Cold Heart" to tell those who criticized him that without his "Saw" it would be useless.

The Los Angeles Times Entertainment Edition special critic Robert Thomas commented the day after the movie was released: James Win is still the creative "father of chainsaws". He used a new movie to kosher his own chainsaw series. I wonder if he will come up with another new movie to end the "Cold Heart" series after becoming a frequent visitor to Halloween. He bid farewell to Mr. Jigsaw who has been with us for many years. We are terrified to welcome the golden partners Luther and Wood, and look forward to seeing them again next year!

John Lister, the ace commentator of "Hollywood Daily" highly praised "Cold Heart": James Wen is playing with fire. Horror films have formed a stable and mature model. The shooting in this mode is basically not bad, but he dares to break the tradition. "Cold Heart" successfully scared me and the audience around me with a small amount of plasma and a small amount of shock. This movie made me feel cold and tremble from the bottom of my heart. Fortunately, there are two male protagonists, Luther and Wood. A large part of the fear brought to the audience by the beauty Scarlett was diluted by these two guys. Thank them.

There are many critics who share the same ideas as Robert and Liszt. The combination of Luther and Wood, Joseph and He Mu, one cute and the other cool, is a scene of fighting monsters that makes people surprise and even becomes a warm color in the thriller movie "Cold Heart".

Susan Hepburn, a film critic of the California Film Festival, commented: Although Scarlett Johnson's performance was amazing and he took on the heavy responsibility of scaryness, this film is undoubtedly a scene between two men; although Joseph Gordon is the well-deserved male lead, the one who impressed me the most after watching the movie was the man with yellow skin and long hair. He was serious, but he could cleverly create some cold humor. The most important thing is that he was really good at fighting and his muscles were really beautiful. This is the first time I have seen so many action scenes in a horror movie. He is a man from the Kung Fu Kingdom. He is a powerful man. And don't forget that he also has the title of "Chinese giant wrist".

For a time, the saying of "Chinese giant" became popular again, which became a kind name for He Mu's American movie fans, which is easy to remember and has extraordinary significance... (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
