"On the surface, the film seems to be a ridiculous fable of life. However, deep inside it, you will find that the meaning contained in it is profound, and it will make you feel chilled because one day you will start to worry about whether the same thing will happen around you."
——Reggie Smith, a famous film critic in The New York Times
"Trumen's World is a unique and creative film with thought-provoking and touching content, and also a sense of humor that makes people laugh. Hong Kong actor Liang has a complex personality in his performance in the film, and exaggerated comedy performance reveals moving emotions. Overall, this is definitely a good film with laughter and tears."
——The famous Hollywood Reporter film critic Richard Sheckel
"If the world we live in is a TV show, we are the protagonist of the show. What does it feel like to be watched by so many people outside the show when they live? Or the world we live in is not real at all, but a virtual world. How can we distinguish between real and false? This is by no means a simple comedy or science fiction film."
——Jace Evans, a famous film critic at Los Angeles Daily
To be honest, the box office response of "Trump World" in North America was not as popular as last year's "Grave Robbers' Chronicles". However, famous American film critics are collectively optimistic about this movie. It is difficult to see bad reviews in newspapers during this period.
Judging from the box office curve, the data of "Trumen's World" is more stable.
Since there were nearly 2,000 canvases in the beginning, the box office of "Trump World" reached 25.83 million US dollars in the first five days of the first week. The so-called "No tiger in the mountains and the monkeys are the overlords, and in this spring when good movies are scarce, "Trump World" became the champion of the box office list in North America as soon as it was released.
Thanks to the good reputation of media film reviews and word of mouth, more and more viewers are watching the movie. The data of "Trumen's World" has almost not dropped much in the second week, with a single-week box office of US$24.92 million, ranking first in the weekly box office championship.
The third week's box office was $2,033, and won the weekly box office championship for three consecutive weeks. The cumulative box office was $71.08 million.
It was not until the fourth week of the screening that the single-week box office of "Trueman's World" fell to 14.26 million, and it was temporarily ranked second in the weekly box office list.
In the fifth week, the box office fell to a sharp drop of 4.91 million yuan, and theaters began to significantly reduce the number of screenings of "Trumen's World".
But the situation afterwards was very magical, with an average box office of about 3 million per week, and it lasted for 4 weeks. It was not until the summer season approached. "Trumen's World" finally completely finished the film.
From release to paintings, "The World of Truman" was screened in North America for 59 days for nine weeks, almost two months.
The reason is that it has a good reputation, and audiences are constantly introduced by friends to watch the movie, or some people come to watch it repeatedly. Although there is no violent spirit like other fierce movies, it is full of stamina.
The box office curve shows the difference between the two movies. "Trumen's World" has 20 days more screening time than "Grave Robbers", but the box office is 2 million US dollars less than the latter. Popcorn movies like "Grave Robbers" exploded in a short period of time, and soon decayed after the explosion. The key is to see how much you can make during the hot screen.
Kang Jianfei's box office of two consecutive movies exceeded 100 million in North America, which attracted great attention from the American media. Because only about 10 movies have a box office of over 10 million in the US film market every year, two consecutive movies have a box office of over 100 million in the box office, and they are also achieved in the spring period with relatively poor schedules, which is simply a rhythm that is against the sky.
"There is no doubt that Kang from Hong Kong is a very good director. He brought a good film to American audiences this spring." - Daily Mail
"Does Director Kang want to occupy the spring season? I hope to see his movies next spring." - "Chicago Tribune"
"Are Hollywood directors busy attending carnival parties? Why doesn't there be a good local film in the spring, and actually make Hong Kong movies win the spring box office championship!" - "New York Daily News"
"Don't forget that Kang is also the second largest shareholder of Paramount Pictures and the boss behind Oriental Films, which produced the "Terminator" series. He is familiar with the operation of the American film market and knows what audiences want to see." - "Pyramid"
"After Kang acquired the shares, the coach was replaced by a woman. Facts have proved that the combination of Chinese shareholders and female CEO has greatly improved Paramount's performance. Director Kang even personally created a blockbuster script for Paramount, and the heroine of this movie Sophie Marceau was also invited by Kang from France. "The Love of Man and Ghost" produced by Paramount two years ago sold 200 million yuan in the United States. Although the movie did not have Kang's name, according to the producer and screenwriter Robin, the film's producer and screenwriter, China Kang actually participated in the script creation of "The Love of Man and Ghost"." - "Variety Show"
"Kang is a successful director, but he is even more a successful film businessman. Putting aside the identity of Paramount Pictures' second largest shareholder, Kang has established his own entertainment empire across the ocean - oceg (Oriental Culture and Entertainment Group), a behemoth integrating television stations, newspapers, publications, records, theaters, entertainment brokers, film and television production and distribution. Oceg's diversified and comprehensive development model of entertainment is of reference significance to its Hollywood peers." - The Washington Post
After the hit "Truemon's World", the focus of people's attention was not the male lead Tony Leung, but the director Kang Jianfei. In fact, this is easy to understand. After all, it is difficult to remember the Eastern side of the Hokkien by European and American audiences. If you want to become famous, you must constantly scan your face.
The United States is a society where money is paramount, and Paramount's second largest shareholder undoubtedly gave Kang Jianfei a lot of points. The films he directed have exceeded 100 million in North America for two consecutive years, which is the only first time in the United States. Not to mention anything else, the money earned by two movies alone is enough to attract imagination.
San Marino High School, USA.
Zhou Linghua held a newspaper and pulled Yang Caini and shouted in surprise: "Cai Ni, the newspaper said that director Kang's net worth is at least 3 billion US dollars, your godfather is so rich."
Yang Caini had no idea about Kang Jianfei's net worth and said, "Maybe, I don't know either."
When Kang Jianfei mobilized funds, he suppressed the coffin and mortgaged the land and real estate that he had purchased at the bottom of the market to the bank, which raised a huge amount of US$2 billion. Thanks to the stock market crash in 1987, Kang Jianfei bought 37% of Paramount shares and spent only 1.7 billion US dollars, and then acquired Sega Games. In recent years, not only Paramount's stock price has risen sharply, but even Sega Games has made great profits.
The market value of the shares of Paramount and Sega Games that Guangkang Jianfei holds is more than US$2.7 billion. In addition to the Oriental Film Company in the United States and Oriental Culture and Entertainment Group in Hong Kong, Kang Jianfei's net worth is indeed US$3 billion.
As for the food companies, game console factories, tourism development companies, record companies, film and television companies, chain department stores and theater industries that Kang Jianfei owns in mainland China, they are all ignored. Not to mention anything else, just dozens of chain department stores make money every day, which is no different from grabbing money.
Zhou Linghua sighed and said, "I would have such a godfather. I don't have to worry about things after graduation. If you want to go to college, you can have a good job if you want to work."
"I actually don't want to ask him for help." Yang Caini said.
"Didn't you say that your godfather loves you very much? If you don't ask him, he will make arrangements for you." Zhou Hualing said enviously.
Yang Caini leaned on the table with her chin in her hands. She sighed, "Actually, I don't know what to do after graduation."
"You have too many choices and don't know which one to choose," Zhou Hualing said speechlessly, "By the way, are you going to stay in the United States or return to Hong Kong after graduating from high school?"
Yang Caini said: "I may go back to Hong Kong. I am not used to staying here in the United States. I have been here for several years and I have made a friend of you."
Zhou Hualing has been laying the groundwork for so long, waiting for Yang Caini's words. She expressed her purpose: "I don't want to continue to stay in the United States, why don't I go to Hong Kong with you and let your godfather give me a job."
Yang Caini didn't want to bother Kang Jianfei, and she couldn't bear to refuse her friends. She could only say, "Then I'll ask my godfather first."
Zhou Hualing hugged Yang Caini and smiled, "You don't have to make things difficult. I don't ask for any good job, just give me some food."
The two girls chose the future while chatting and laughing, but went back two months. Kang Jianfei had just flew back to Hong Kong from the mainland. The 10th Hong Kong Film Awards ceremony was held as scheduled. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
