Chapter 367

October 14-16 is another three-day weekend. "The Expendables 2" was painted in Japan, the last ticket warehouse, with a total box office of US $330 million, surpassing the previous work and achieving great success. In response, Pinnacle entertainment and Stallone immediately announced that "The Expendables 3" began to be made, and the new film will invite Cheng Long, real bullets and other Chinese martial arts stars to join.

On the North American battlefield, "night watchman: Reflection" once again won the third consecutive title with us $24.8 million, with a total box office of US $200 million in North America, US $85 million overseas, and US $285 million worldwide. It has become the most attractive film in the off-season, and the box office is bursting with word-of-mouth.

"Night watchman" original investment 150 million US dollars, box office 0.98 billion US dollars, a curse. With an investment of 20 million US dollars and a box office of 285 million US dollars, the new work has been praised all the time. In contrast, it's really very different!

From October 21 to 23, the much watched "smart: Ghost 3" was released, snatching the title of "night watchman: Reflection", but this week "night watchman: Reflection" still got $12 million, ranking second at the box office. Overseas, however, got $75 million again, with a total global box office of $375 million.

From October 28 to 30, the early release of "evocation" was completed with a global box office of $316 million. Next week, the last play of Peak Entertainment year, hunger Game 2: start a prairie fire, will be released all over the world. The highly praised "night watchman: Reflection" grossed $6.1 million in North America and $410 million worldwide.

It is making a strong impact on the global $450 million.

On November 4, 2011, "hunger Game 2: start a prairie fire" was shown in 4560 cinemas in North America, and also in the world on the same day. The first "hunger game" has US $410 million in North America and US $640 million in the world. It can be expected that this sequel will ignite this year's box office boom.

The highest local box office record in North America this year is the $381 million set by Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Part 2), and hunger Game 2: start a prairie fire is aimed at HA Qi's record.

Three days after the war, the box office came out at the weekend.

"Night watchman: Reflection" was painted around the world after this week, with a total box office of US $270 million in North America and US $462 million in the world, ending with such a perfect record. Taking into account the first "night watchman", the two films invested $170 million and reaped $560 million. They still made a lot of money and cleaned up Shao Shuaijun's only failure record.

"Shao Shuaijun's success is unparalleled. The only drawback of Shao Shuaijun is that he has never been able to make a movie more than $1 billion at the box office. As far as the style and quantity of films are concerned, Nolan can't catch up with Shao. Shao is the fastest and best-selling director in Hollywood ——Time magazine.

"A good director can turn decadence into magic, and Shao Shuaijun is undoubtedly one." ——The Wall Street reporter.

"In his seven-year career as a director, Shao's 13 films have created a total global box office of 4.08 billion US dollars, which has put him in the record of film history. He is the fourth largest director in the global box office after Steven Spielberg, James Cameron and Michael Bay ——Box office mojo.

It costs more than 300 million US dollars, including six Chinese movies. If only seven movies made in Hollywood are counted, it costs 470 million US dollars. With such a high amount of data, Shao Shuai Jun is proud of the top of Wulin.

What's more, Shao Shuaijun's biggest investment in the superhero film "Avengers alliance" has also been completed and will be released next year. According to the prediction of the authorities, the women's Federation at least has a conservative estimate of $1 billion. As soon as this data is published, Michael beckon will be surpassed, and Cameron is also likely to be surpassed.

Of course, Cameron is a director with full personality. He has made seven films in several decades. The total box office is not enough to show that Shao Shuaijun really surpasses the king of the world. Because Cameron's single box office has exceeded 700 million US dollars, I don't know what height to soar to when the sequel of avatar series is released.

But anyway, the global film circle has begun to worship Shao Shuaijun.

Shao Shuaijun was interviewed by several visiting reporters, including time.com, in the studio of "fantasy drifting of youth school".

The reporter asked: "director Shao, with the help of" night watchman: Reflection ", you have been promoted to 4 billion directors. This is the most successful example of Chinese directors in the world. What do you think are the necessary factors for your success, as a director? "

Shao Shuaijun replied with a smile: "I don't know how to define it, but let me talk about the insights I have gained from" night watchman "to" night watchman: Reflection ". From the beginning, I thought "night watchman" was a very good idea, but it was very bad after it was made. Then, after the film was supplemented, it was a success again. It's like, if you deal with the movie, the movie will deal with you. If you find the trick of the movie, the movie will be used by you. To make a movie, we must be able to make a movie. In the overall situation, we can look at a movie. We can pursue carving in details, but the whole framework should not be broken up. "The reporter did not understand, Shao Shuaijun gave another example: "the framework can be lifted, all by one line, what is this line. It can be emotional, it can be the theme, it can be what you want to say, but you can't leave this line and talk about something else.

In "the night watchman", one of my lines is the conflict between procedural justice and moral justice, but I deliberately pursued the superhero to be cool and broke this line, so the film failed to lift it up. "Night watchman: Reflection", or this line, I weakened the superhero, the line has not been scattered, so, the film picked up.

For example, crouching tiger, hidden dragon, directed by Li eucalyptus, opened up the era of Chinese Blockbusters, but only one successful film was crouching tiger, hidden dragon. Why? Because Li Eucalyptus obviously said that the line he wanted to talk about was not a blockbuster, not a martial art, so when you watch the movie, Weiya's hanging was all revealed, but the line he wanted to talk about firmly tied up the movie.

Other blockbusters have beautiful pictures and martial arts, but you forget this line, so you can't pick it up. Why can't many directors get out of this small circle? It's because he didn't hold the line, shaking and falling apart. Why can Hollywood blockbusters capture markets with different cultural styles? Because they hold this line, no matter what the packaging is changed, personal heroism remains unchanged, everyone has a heroic dream, so Hollywood swept the world.

If you know how to be a hero, will success be far behind? What I portray in the night watchman: reflection is not another kind of hero. "

"Director Shao has made a lot of successful films before, do you hold this line?" A reporter asked.

"So to speak, they all have their own lines, bright or dark."

"Is there anything director Shao wants to say about the success of the night watchman: reflection? He is still numb. You have too many successful blockbusters."

Shao Shuaijun said with a brilliant smile: "I'm very happy this time. I think this is the most successful film I've made in the past seven years. It's not as simple as making up for your regret. When you achieve great success, a setback may affect you for many years. There is an old saying that "once bitten by a snake for ten years, I'm afraid of the well rope." so do I. I've been brooding about the failure of the night watchman for four years. If I don't pick up this regret, I doubt that I will continue to fail one day, and then never recover. So now I'm very happy, the happiest moment in seven years. "

"Do you have any new movie plans after" night watchman: Reflection "and" Avengers "

"Not yet. I'm working with Li you on" the fantasy rafting of youth school "to learn 3D technology once more. It's very substantial, so I don't have a directing plan."

"Dream chasing entertainment group was reorganized into dream chasing International Holding Group. How did you change your role?"

Shao Shuaijun thought for a moment and said, "before, I would arrange some films for the company that I value. Later, I will no longer interfere in the operation of the company. I'm just a simple director in the future. When the company asks me to make a movie, I'll take the movie, and then calculate how much money I'll be given, that's all. "

"Is it OK to stay away from the operation of the company?"

"Very good. I like this kind of life very much. I don't need to worry about more things. I can have more time to arrange my own private life. It's very good."

"Night watchman: Reflection" was a great success. Shao Shuaijun finally proved himself to be a qualified director. Therefore, when reporters came to interview today, Shao Shuaijun was very cooperative and tried to answer as many questions as he could. The reporters also felt that Shao Shuaijun spoke very well today. The problem was that one by one, from noon to afternoon, he had been interviewing for three hours before he came back with full load.

Shao Shuaijun took a long breath from his angry voice and took Li you and others to drink to celebrate the box office success.

Shao Shuaijun's life is natural and comfortable, and peak entertainment has once again shocked Hollywood.

"Hunger Game 2 starts a prairie fire" won the North American box office champion in the first weekend of November in the hope of the public. The first day of the film's premiere took the first place with an overwhelming advantage of US $70.5 million, creating the highest first day opening performance in the history of the film city of November in North America, and trampling on the 67.3 million first day opening performance of the previous "hunger game".

With a weekend score of $161 million, it became the highest opening weekend record in film history in November. This score also broke the premiere week scores of many films, only lower than the first weekend score of $168.55 million in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Part 2), ranking second in North American film history.

At the same time, it is also the first 2D film box office in the history of North America.

The freshness of the rotten tomatoes is 89%, the cinema score is a, and the IMDB score is 8.4. While it is a super box office, it has a crazy reputation. This basically announced the "hunger game" series officially crowned as another set of good reputation super box office series.

The success of the hunger game series also makes everyone find the reason to worship Shao Shuaijun again. He has a brilliant vision and a wise eye!
