On November 25, "The Martian", which has grossed more than 400 million U.S. dollars in global box office, officially launched in mainland theaters. There is a lot of behind-the-scenes news about this movie worth talking about.
This film is not only the first time that Li Hyuk has played an important role in a Hollywood A-level production, it is also a film in which a Chinese director has been deeply involved. After Guo Fan worked on the crew of "The Martian" for several months, he returned to "The Wandering Earth"
》Comprehensive specifications have been remade.
Of course, there is a reason why Ridley Scott allowed Guo Fan to study on the set. The most important thing is that China Film Group, which introduced this film, is the sponsor of "The Wandering Earth". So when "The Martian" was released in mainland China
, there will be many conveniences.
In the zero-hour show that opened on the 24th, "The Martian" took in a box office of 11.235 million, most of which were contributed by Lee Hyuk's fans and fans. On the first day, many theaters' IMAX 3D theaters were quickly sold out, and even
It's hard to get a ticket. Under such a popular situation, "The Martian" still achieved a box office of 106 million on the first day even though it was a working day.
The box office performance is good, and the film's reputation is also quite good. Although Douban has become more and more commercialized in recent years, it is still an important basis for referring to the reputation of a film. The 8.8 score of "The Martian" speaks for itself.
In the film, Matt, played by Ma Daimeng, uses feces to grow potatoes, which has become a highlight of the film. Although the film has inevitable flaws in scientific logic and has been criticized, it does not affect the film's success.
Besides, science fiction films, of course, have a certain element of fantasy. If you told the ancients that in the future humans would travel in an iron box without a horse, and could travel thousands of miles a day, the ancients would definitely tell you the same thing.
This is impossible.
Thanks to the good reputation of the film, "The Martian" took in a box office of 642 million in its first week, successfully winning the next week's box office championship. According to the predictions of professional box office forecasting agencies, there is no problem for the film to exceed 1 billion in box office, and it is not impossible to even hit 1.5 billion.
possible.
It is worth mentioning that the one who is happiest about the success of "The Martian" is not the producer 20th Century Fox, but Zhang Guoshi. Why do I say this? Because Zhang Guoshi made a co-production film "The Great Wall", starring Ma Dimeng.
Filming was completed at the Huairou Film and Television Base.
The National Master originally wanted to ask Li Hyuk to make a guest appearance, but Li Hyuk was on vacation at that time, so he declined politely. However, this co-production is already eye-catching enough, with the addition of Hollywood superstars and a large number of Chinese stars.
It's a hot-selling ingredient.
However, experience tells us that very few projects like this hodgepodge can be successful, and the reputation of the national teacher is worrying! It is said that Ma Dumeng specifically turned down "Manchester by the Sea" for "The Great Wall" and gave it to Ben Affleck
's younger brother starring.
"Manchester by the Sea" was a competition for awards, and Ma Dumeng turned down a film that was expected to win him an Oscar. However, considering the US$25 million salary for "The Great Wall", Ma Dumeng should still be
Very happy.
On the set of "Operation Mekong", Da Mi Mi came to visit the set after finishing his busy work. Looking at Li Hyuk's look, he covered his mouth and smiled and said: "Oh, your look looks a bit like Young and Dangerous!"
Li He shrugged and said: "I am a good young man, what do I call a young and Dangerous boy..."
As a well-known loving couple in the industry, Li Hyuk and Da Mi Mi’s every move is quite attractive. Today happened to be a media open day, so some reporters came to interview them.
"Sorry to bother you two, can you accept a small interview with us?" A reporter came over with a photographer.
Li He and Da Mi Mi looked at each other, nodded and said, "Okay..."
The reporter looked surprised and quickly opened the prepared book and asked: "First of all, congratulations to the two of you for being nominated at the Golden Horse Awards. Are you confident that you will win the Best Actor and Best Actress awards this time?"
Da Mi Mi responded: "Of course I have confidence, but the competitors this year are very strong. It still depends on the final results."
"Okay, then we all know that "Want to See You" has become a benchmark for domestic love movies. Will there be similar cooperation between the two of you in the future?"
This question was answered by Li Hyuk: "It depends on their respective schedules and time, as well as my schedule."
"Yes, he is very slow in writing scripts. I have been urging him." Da Mi Mi said with a smile.
The reporter then asked a few more questions related to "Operation Mekong": "So this is your first time working with director Lin Chaoxian in an action film of this type. How do you feel about it?"
Li He thought for a while and said: "It's very enjoyable and refreshing. Because it is adapted from real events, everyone on our crew put in 120% of their efforts to present better action scenes to the fans."
"We understand that in this film, you performed all the action scenes yourself. Aren't you careful about the risks such as injuries?"
"Injuries are definitely inevitable. The key is to see if my scene can meet the director's requirements and satisfy the fans. We hope that fans can have a better movie-watching experience in the theater, so we insist on doing it in person.
"Li He replied.
"Okay, thank you. What are your expectations for the box office of this movie?"
"Well..." Li He looked at Da Mi Mi, who smiled and said: "One billion box office shouldn't be a problem."
"Yes, I think so too."
"Thank you both for accepting our interview..."
After the reporter left, Da Mi Mi said to Li He: "Although it seems very dedicated to perform in person, it is better to let a substitute do some dangerous scenes."
"Don't worry, I'm not a young boy. I'll take care of what I do." Li He gestured to Da Mi Mi to relax.
Da Mi Mi rolled his eyes at Li He and said: "I know how to show off my talents. If I get hurt, I won't take pictures. At worst, I will support you..."
Li He shook his head, put his arms around Da Mi Mi's soft and warm waist, kissed her gently on the lips and said: "Don't worry, I will pay attention to it, go to the show, you rest here."
Da Mi Mi nodded Li He's head: "I know how to show off..."
Actually, Li Hyuk is really an anomaly among the traffic, just because of his strong business ability. When his eldest brother Cheng Long was interviewed a few days ago, he criticized the traffic actors and also used Li Hyuk as a positive example.
There was some unpleasantness between Li Hyuk and his eldest brother in the early years, but it has all passed. The eldest brother is still very upright in the face of right and wrong. Li Hyuk also admires his professionalism in his decades of film career.
It's a pity that Big Brother's films in recent years have been a bit poor. He invited Li Hyuk to star several times, but Li Hyuk refused. As a result, rumors gradually spread in the industry that Li Hyuk and Big Brother were at odds, forcing Big Brother to reveal his relationship with Li Hyuk.
The photos of Hyuk eating and drinking together prove that the relationship between the two is not bad.
This year, with the return of the four returnees, the rise of the three little ones, and the birth of a large amount of traffic, traffic stars have reached their peak, and chaos has become apparent.
But in this traffic storm, Li Hyuk is the one who has gained the most. He has many fans and is very popular with the public, making many traffic fans jealous and also the envy of many powerful actors.
