Both Karen Miller and Wu Zhigang were very excited after watching "Tomb Raider 2", especially when the legendary "Ark of the Covenant" really appeared in the movie, they were all wide-eyed.
own eyes.
Good guy, you really dare to take pictures!
Even though Wu Zhigang and his wife are a new generation of young people in China, and their understanding of Western culture is far less than that of the previous generation, they have still heard of the Ark of the Covenant. Not to mention "Tomb Raider 2"
It had already appeared in the trailer, so they naturally had to search for relevant information in advance.
Wu Zhigang and others are like this, let alone Karen Miller, a pure European.
Moreover, everyone is very satisfied with the special effects production of "Tomb Raider 2". Although it is not comparable to last year's "Avengers" and "Avatar", it is still at the absolute top level in the world. According to the publisher's investment of 200 million US dollars,
, in their opinion, there should be nothing wrong with it.
The audience was satisfied, and Sun Peng was no exception.
In fact, he was a little hesitant at the beginning. After all, the first few movies in the "Raiders of the Lost Ark" series were so old that when he relived them in his mind, Sun Peng was almost certain that if those movies were released,
If it were released in a movie theater in this era, it would definitely be a disappointing ending!
So when he first wrote the script, Sun Peng made some magical changes.
In addition to making appropriate modifications himself, Sun Peng also authorized the producer to appropriately modify the script and adjust the special effects production. In short, the film was shot according to the current super blockbuster standards.
This aspect is no different from the "Spider-Man" series.
After all, Spider-Man was released very early, especially the special effects shots, as well as the villain's IQ and style, which are already very different from the current superhero movies. If it were to be taken intact,
It must also be a word of death. Where can it be like this?
Therefore, it is only natural that "Tomb Raider 2" received great acclaim after its release.
The story itself is not outdated at all.
Moreover, this kind of adventure stories involving religion and legends have a huge market in both the West and the East, especially among young people. Not to mention that the original American old professor has become a new version of the Chinese sexy girl.
After Lin Lin puts on tights, who doesn't love her among all the men in the world?
Even women can’t bear it!
In this era when female audiences are becoming more and more important, a strong heroine undoubtedly attracts their attention. Housewives and female students all donate generously and go to the theater to support the most famous actor in the world.
Action starlet…
Yes, Lin Lin has now acquired this halo.
Sun Peng has tailor-made so many action movies for her, whether it is "Assassin's League", "The Matrix" or "Tomb Raider" and "Tomorrow's Day", they all put this halo on her layer by layer.
Lin Lin's head. Coupled with the Black Widow in the Avengers, this most popular character, the Chinese female star finally has no rival in the world!
The release of "Tomb Raider 2" just sealed the title.
So after seven days, "Tomb Raider 2" had a box office of 2.5 billion Chinese dollars in China, 80 million US dollars in North America, and 91 million US dollars in Europe. Although it slightly exceeded Sun Peng's expectations, it did not.
Let him be too surprised.
And what makes him most happy is that "Tomb Raider 2" competes equally with "Thor 2" during the Spring Festival...
…
“This Spring Festival period, the box office is not good!”
On the first day after the Spring Festival holiday, when the final box office results came out, Sun Peng couldn't help but complain: "After seven days, the domestic box office was just over 10 billion? This is the worst Spring Festival period in recent years, right?"
"ha……"
Lin Lin raised her head and yawned. She ignored her cousin and just glanced at her daughter, who was playing with her sister Sun Wenyao, with a blank look on her face.
Years ago, plus the Spring Festival holiday that lasted for more than ten days, Lin Lin had been flying all over the world to promote "Tomb Raider 2". She was very exhausted both physically and mentally. How could she have the time to discuss the Spring Festival box office total with Sun Peng?
matter?
What happened to over 10 billion?
That’s a box office of nearly 1.5 billion US dollars, equivalent to one-eighth of America’s total box office for the entire year!
But after turning her head, Lin Lin still smiled lazily: "The key is that there are only two real masterpieces in this Spring Festival, "Tomb Raider 2" and "Thor 2"..."
Glancing at Lin Lin, Sun Peng retorted angrily: "Masterpiece? Why don't you win the box office championship for masterpiece?"
"this……"
After rolling her eyes, Lin Lin stopped talking.
Before the Spring Festival, everyone was crazily bragging about "Tomb Raider 2" and believed that it and "Thor 2" would be the biggest winners during the Spring Festival!
But no one expected that these two movies would be ranked second and third in China!
Because what shocked everyone was that within seven days of the Spring Festival, a "super blockbuster" with a box office of over 2.5 billion appeared - the comedy movie "Old Wine" with an investment of only 400 million Chinese dollars!
This is a movie that brings together three top comedy stars from all over China, and it is also the biggest winner of this Spring Festival.
The content of the story is not complicated. The hero discovers a jar of wine buried under his old house. It caused a sensation immediately after it was unearthed. Archaeologists concluded that the jar of wine had at least
With three hundred years of history!
A series of crazy and hilarious stories happened around this jar of wine.
Some collectors want to spend a lot of money to buy this jar of wine, the auction company hopes to hold a special auction for it, and the hero hopes to make a fortune from it, while there are still some people with ulterior motives who are preparing to act secretly
, get this jar of wine full of magical colors.
During this process, the male protagonist and his girlfriend had a dispute over the jar of wine.
The final result was beyond everyone's expectation. In the chaos, the hero broke the jar of wine with his own hands, and then drank it with two friends without stopping...
The final ending is naturally a happy ending.
Anyway, when talking about this movie, Lin Lin's face was full of disappointment.
The investment of 400 million Chinese dollars is of course the top level for a comedy, mainly due to the actors' remuneration. But even if it gathers the best comedy actors in China, it is still a comedy after all, with a box office
Why did it surpass "Tomb Raider 2"?
Even if the seven-day box office only exceeds 70 million Chinese dollars, it is still exceeded!
and……
On the first and second days of the Lunar New Year, the box office of "Tomb Raider 2" was overwhelming. However, on the third day of the Lunar New Year, after the explosive word-of-mouth spread, the box office of "Old Wine" began to reverse.
The market rose, surpassing "Tomb Raider 2" by nearly 100 million Chinese dollars on the seventh day of the long holiday!
It’s simply jaw-dropping!
When everyone found it incredible, only one person was not too surprised, and that was Sun Peng who had traveled through time, because he had seen this kind of situation a lot in his previous life...
