Chapter 631: Word of Mouth Box Office Double Explosion (Daily Update 12,000~)
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night for many people.
"The Last Day" and "Back to the Future 3" were released on the same day. This also means that the struggle between Phantom Entertainment and the Jewish circles in Hollywood has entered a fierce stage. Everyone wants to see who Phantom Entertainment is.
As this upstart shines, the Jewish circle in Hollywood remains as powerful as ever.
This battle can even be said to affect the future pattern changes of Hollywood.
All the production company executives are waiting for the movie's box office results to come out on the first day.
But now there is no email at all, so everyone can only stay in front of the phone, waiting for their own people to tell the answer.
Wu Jianye didn't rest either. He was sitting in his study room, waiting for Johnson's call.
Zhu Xie gently opened the door and saw Wu Jianye sitting in the study. There were some cigarette butts in the ashtray on the desk, and a half-burned cigarette in his hand.
"Are you worried?" Zhu Xian put the tea in his hand in front of Wu Jianye.
Wu Jianye showed a relieved smile and said: "No, if I weren't here to watch, Johnson's call would have been on my mobile phone in a while, but I couldn't stop sleeping!"
Zhu Xuan said angrily: "If you don't worry, just smoke less!"
Wu Jianye nodded and said, "Find some time to quit smoking!"
Zhu Xie looked at Wu Jianye in disbelief and said, "Can you quit smoking?"
Zhu Xuan knew how addicted Wu Jianye was to smoking. In fact, Wu Jianye didn't smoke frequently on weekdays. He only smoked particularly fiercely when he was creating.
"It should be possible!" Wu Jianye himself was not very sure, so he asked with a smile: "Where is Li Xiuming?"
Zhu Xian said: "She has rested. She was worried about you originally, but you also know that she is in bad shape now, so staying up late is not good!"
"Yes!" Wu Jianye nodded. Li Xiuming is now eight months pregnant, and there are doctors guarding the manor 24 hours a day to ensure her safety.
The two of them were sitting on the sofa in the study room. Wu Jianye asked: "How is it? I haven't gone around with you during this time. Are you still used to the environment here?"
Zhu Xian smiled and said: "Fortunately, I study English with the teacher every day now, which is quite fulfilling, and I don't have much time to go out and hang out!"
Although Zhu Hao has a certain level of foreign language, he is limited to the most basic daily communication. This time, for the filming of "Jurassic Park", there will be a lot of English dialogue, and there will also be a lot of professional vocabulary. These are Zhu Hao's
Need to learn.
"How about I take you out for a walk after the release of "The Love of Ghosts" is stable?" Wu Jianye suggested.
Zhu Xian shook his head and did not agree to Wu Jianye's suggestion, saying: "Let's forget it. She is due to give birth in two months, and you have to hurry up with the movie "Jurassic Park".
We have time to prepare, but we don’t have time!”
Wu Jianye smiled bitterly. The nature of their work also meant that they could not travel frequently like ordinary couples.
"Just wait a little longer. In two years, my plans will be almost complete. Let's go out and have a good stroll."
Zhu Xie looked at Wu Jianye curiously and asked, "I've always been curious, what is your plan?"
Although the two have been married for many years and have Wu Nianyi, Zhu Xian has never seriously asked Wu Jianye what his plan is.
Wu Jianye smiled and said: "It's actually very simple. I hope that Chinese movies can go global sooner!"
Zhu Jia looked at Wu Jianye in surprise, "This is simple. Do you know what is happening in the country now?"
Although she is not sensitive to politics, as one of the most popular actresses in China, Zhu Yan is quite clear about some things.
Wu Jianye said confidently: "This is just the darkness before dawn. It will be better in the past two years!"
Zhu Xuan asked in disbelief: "Is it true?"
Where the domestic film market will go in the future, it is estimated that no one in the world knows more clearly than Wu Jianye. With the end of the last turmoil, the country will firmly follow the path of reform and opening up, and the film industry will also take advantage of this spring breeze.
, began to usher in its own era of rapid development in 1993.
Although there will be some detours in the middle, these detours are not given by the general trend. According to Wu Jianye's current influence, he can completely avoid these detours.
"Don't worry, it will come true!"
Zhu Xian glanced at Wu Jianye and said with some distress: "But this will be very tiring!"
Wu Jianye: "It's okay. I always have to find something to do for myself. We will strive to retire and enjoy life before the age of 50!"
Zhu Xuan said with some longing: "Really?"
Wu Jianye nodded, "Of course, when the time comes, I will take you to travel around the world!"
When Zhu Xian heard the word "we", he pinched Wu Jianye angrily...
Jingle Bell!
At this time the phone rang.
Wu Jianye glanced at Zhu Hao with a smile and said, "Did you see that? I've got a call!"
After speaking, he walked over and answered the phone. Johnson's excited voice came from the other end of the phone, "Wu, $17.36 million, $17.36 million!"
The first-day box office of "The Last Day" is out, 17.36 million US dollars!
Although this data does not look very beautiful, considering that their opponent is "Back to the Future 3", a movie with a strong audience group, and the previous discussion of the movie "The Last Days" in the United States, this
The box office was enough to satisfy Wu Jianye.
And the most important thing is that this movie exceeded the first-day box office of $12.19 million when it was released in Another Time and Space!
I believe that with the popularity of the movie "The Last Days" in the later period, it will bring better box office for this movie.
"You should be unhappy!" Wu Jianye laughed.
Now looking at the box office on the first day, if nothing unexpected happens, the box office of "The Last Days" in North America will definitely exceed 100 million. If this is the case, the gambling agreement between Wu Jianye and Johnson Lao will be
Won!
Johnson's expression on the other end of the phone was stagnant. Yes, he should be unhappy. Why are he so happy?
Johnson, who didn't understand, laughed and said: "Nevermind, as long as our movie does well at the box office, that's all!"
Wu Jianye laughed and asked: "How was the box office of "Back to the Future 3"?"
When talking about the box office of "Back to the Future 3", Johnson's voice was a little disappointed and said: "It exceeded our box office, it was 19.3 million US dollars!"
Wu Jianye nodded. The box office was acceptable. After all, the first two movies of "Back to the Future 3" had him covered.
"Don't be disappointed, this is just the beginning, the rest is the most important!" Wu Jianye said.
"Well, I know, I just got news that the moviegoers over there are not very optimistic about this movie, and we are very likely to make a comeback against them in the future!" Johnson also said seriously.
"Okay, I know the box office, let's go and have a rest!" Wu Jianye said, waiting for Johnson's call, it's already past 2 o'clock in the morning.
Before Johnson could reply, Wu Jianye hung up the phone and took Zhu Xie back to his room to rest.
The next day, Wu Jian woke up and found that today's newspaper had been delivered.
Sitting in the living room, Wu Jianye looked at today's newspapers and magazines. The news about the entertainment section was naturally the columns about the two movies "The Last Days" and "Back to the Future 3".
"A superb film, sincere and spiritual, with impeccable performances from the four main actors, and a gripping story. The pictures have a soft, rich quality, and it's a fairy tale that you want to believe in, not because of the gags.
It becomes overshadowed by its comedic elements." --"San Francisco Chronicle"
"The estranged love between the hero and heroine in "The Ghost Story" will move everyone. Its appearance can be said to be a major event in the Hollywood film industry, because it makes the United States addicted to bloody violence and abnormal sexual disorder
The audience found it refreshing, and perhaps people should re-examine their own surroundings or some kind of love they are experiencing." -- "Times"
Obviously, the movie "The Last Days" first conquered these film critic experts in North America.
At the same time, Martin Lloyd also published his own review of the film in the newspaper!
"First of all, I want to apologize to Director Wu. Before this, like many Americans, I thought that Director Wu's films would be acclimatized in North America. But when I saw the film "The End of the World" yesterday,
After watching the movie, I realized what a true genius is and why Linda, the president of Phantom Entertainment, and Jiang Zhiqiang, the president of Fengge Media, admired Director Wu so much.
There are almost no problems with this movie in my eyes. For ordinary viewers, this is a simple movie that evokes everyone’s yearning for beautiful love. For professional film practitioners, this movie
The movie seems to have opened another door to us. It turns out that simple stories can also be so moving. In this movie, it seems that Director Wu did not use various complex narrative techniques, but he was able to create a simple timeline in a simple timeline.
Inside, this story is unforgettable at a glance...
I concluded that this will be a classic work, and "The Last Love" will not disappoint every audience. This love story film with a science fiction color, "The Last Love" deeply moved me.
The heart of the audience. The male protagonist Sam once said: "When I feel happy, what I fear most is losing it." Perhaps it is this sentence that sets the tone and plot development of the subsequent film.
The film uses a sequential structure of time and space, and the story develops according to the development of time... Therefore, the order of time and space transformation in "The Love of Ghosts" is arranged according to the story and the sequence of events.
At the beginning of the film, a noise started the development of the film. The chaotic scenes, strange pictures, irregular lighting, and ghostly music filled the beginning of the film with a strange atmosphere. The narrowness of time and space at this time
It makes people feel uneasy and depressing. This is the early foreshadowing, laying the foundation for the development of the story...
The first scene of the film is an emotional description of the male protagonist Sen, his girlfriend Molly and their good friend, the second male lead Carl. The film has several long shots. At this time, the use of long shots has several layers of implications...
.....
In the next scene, the scene where Mori and Molly are making pottery has to be mentioned. It is the various factors in this scene that affect the future development of the story. The most worth mentioning is the use of music in this scene.
...
At this time, the director used psychological montage expression techniques, using pottery and music to create an atmosphere and arouse people's associations, thereby achieving the director's purpose of expressing the story...
Later in the story, the music of "The Love Between Ghosts" also appears, allowing Sam to borrow the body of a female psychic to meet Molly again. The use of music can echo each other...Music serves as
It provides a medium that allows people's thoughts to travel back and forth in time and space.
In the next scene, Sam and Molly see the crash on television, which is the use of a metaphorical montage....
The development of the story unfolds in twists and turns...
In addition, I would like to mention that the director fully reflected the spirit of good people going to heaven and bad people going to hell in the film. Perhaps this is the idea of all kind people. After the robbers and Carl died, they were dragged into hell.
This also sounds the death knell for evildoers and arouses people's love and kindness.
The story of "The Last Love" is not complicated, but I think the key to "The Last Love" is to capture the true feelings. Of course, the various montage techniques and the clever transformation of time and space create a wonderful atmosphere for the film.
The atmosphere and the use of montage are just right, especially the switching of various time and space in the film, the different time and space where humans and ghosts are. This is the difficulty and key part of the film. The director used different perspectives and different sceneries, and made
Careful arrangement. In the end, the time and space transformation of the film became the most exciting part of the film. Humans and ghosts exist in different time and space, which provides a reference for us to use the time and space transformation in our own films in the future.”
Martin Lloyd's film review was very long. When Wu Jianye finished reading it, he had already finished breakfast. Zhu Xian and Li Xiuming also saw this film review.
Li Xiuming stroked his belly and said with a smile: "Martin Lloyd really admires this movie. I want to see it all!"
Wu Jianye smiled and said: "If you want to watch it, I'll ask the company to send you a plate of negatives and you can watch it in the theater at home!"
Zhu Xi and Li Xiu Ming nodded happily. Zhu Xi wanted to learn English, and Li Xiu Ming wanted to raise her baby with peace of mind. Naturally, the two of them could not go to the theater to enjoy the movie. Now Wu Jianye wanted the company to bring it over, so it would be natural to watch it at home.
Nothing could be better.
"Then you come back and watch with us tonight!" Zhu Xian said with a smile.
Wu Jianye: "Okay!"
Wu Jianye is going to Phantom Entertainment today. One is that "The Last Days" has a very good reputation, surpassing "Back to the Future 3". Phantom Entertainment will naturally continue to intensify its promotional efforts.
At the same time, Wu Jianye also wanted to ask about the preparatory work for "Jurassic Park". This movie is different from other movies. What he wants to explore is not only the influence of Phantom Entertainment on the movie itself, but also more about this movie.
Sales of movie peripheral products.
Since Phantom Entertainment wants to be a media group, it certainly can’t just focus on box office revenue!
