Chapter 283

In today's era, the information is fluent enough. Except for a few areas that are almost separated from the existence of the earth, the news of a Hollywood film's explosion in North America will soon spread all over the world.

With the development of the global film market, Hollywood films are the only ones that can really be widely circulated in the world. Even those who don't like Hollywood films can't deny this. In particular, the most popular films in North America, except for a few types, are very popular in most overseas markets.

The death attendants is no exception.

In the three days of its first weekend in the UK, "the dead man" made an outstanding performance of US $15.2 million, which also set the best record for R-rated films in the UK film market in April.

At the same time, this weekend, the dead man also landed in many overseas countries and regions, especially the places deeply influenced by western culture.

In Germany, the film cut $8.65 million in the first week; in sunny Spain, it made $3.9 million in three days; in France, it made $9.1 million; in Australia, it made $10.15 million; in Brazil, it made $5.37 million; in Mexico, it made $6.1 million; in South Korea, it made $7.5 million

Looking at the global film market, this is a weekend of "dead man". Even if the box office figures in North America are not counted, the film's revenue in 37 countries and regions around the world is also $112.5 million!

This is also the biggest overseas box office gain of a single film since Murphy entered Hollywood.

At the same time, Murphy also left the UK and went to Paris, the capital of art, to continue her publicity journey in Europe.

Fleet Street reporter's question is very simple, but British and American culture has a lot in common, and the film industry is no exception. So although the reporter interviewed Murphy at that time had a very sharp question, he did not question or deliberately upset Murphy about the film.

But France is different. This is the birthplace of film. Many filmmakers have a special sense of superiority. It's good for clear minded people like Luc Besson. Those filmmakers who are immersed in their own literary world often disdain Hollywood commercial films. Whenever Hollywood blockbusters are popular, they always face each other with nostrils.

This trend naturally spread to the French film critics and related media practitioners, who never take Hollywood commercial films seriously.

However, Murphy doesn't care about these people's views. There is a saying on the other side of the Pacific Ocean that different people don't work together. Since the most basic film concepts are different, there is no need to contact them.

Apart from two routine publicity activities, he did not stay in France at all, let alone have the interest to communicate with his French counterparts.

It's true that French films have almost become the standard bearer of films in continental Europe, but what about that? Hollywood films are developing in the direction of a wider audience. On the contrary, the shooting and production style of films in continental Europe is becoming smaller and smaller.

Looking around the world, the decline of European films is an indisputable fact.

When it comes to the mature and perfect film industry, the first reaction of normal people should be Hollywood. It is not difficult to see from the overseas box office explosion of "dead man", that only Hollywood has the ability to produce such a large scale film industry, with highly typed, technical support of action movies and stunt movies, and the ability of global distribution.

"Why can Hollywood occupy so much overseas market share?"

On the plane, Jessica Alba, sitting opposite Murphy, asked curiously, "Murphy, what do you think is the key factor?"

Murphy took a big look at the box office of "the 20th century drama" because it was specially used to rent the windows of "the 20th century drama".

Seeing that Murphy was silent, Jessica Alba asked, "is it the advantage of industrialization?"

"That's one side." Murphy took the glass in front of him and took a sip. Then he said, "I think it's Hollywood's ability of global distribution, which is the purpose and the core power."

"Er..." Jessica Alba's eyes showed enough curiosity, "can you tell me about it?"

It will take some time to fly from Paris to Rome. Murphy thinks about it and nods.

"This is my personal view. The outstanding global distribution ability determines that Hollywood, not other countries, can form such a complete industrial system."

His words also represent today's mainstream view, "and it is precisely this factor that makes Hollywood film industry occupy the global market for so many years after World War II. Although there are twists and turns in the middle, the overall situation has never changed."

Murphy reminds us, "think of the six major Hollywood companies. Can you find a distribution company of this size in any country in the world?"

"Er..." Jessica Alba thought for a moment, then shook her head. "No way."

She grabbed her long brown hair and said, "does this ability seem to have no difficulty for the current top six?""It looks simple," Murphy said, shaking his head. "It's really hard to do."

"It's hard." Robert Downey's voice suddenly rang out, he came from behind with a cup, "otherwise there would not be only one Hollywood in the world."

He sat next to Murphy, took Jessica Alba's question, and said, "because to maintain the real global distribution capacity, we need to have the same high level of understanding of global markets, and be able to balance the understanding deviation caused by different cultural differences in the same film."

Murphy nodded, fully agreeing with Robert Downey Jr. "that's right."

Jessica Alba was more like a beautiful listener, blinking her curious eyes and continuing to look at Murphy.

Seeing her expression, little Robert Downey said again, "but like" dead waiter ", it makes the global audience get the same laugh point, makes the global audience agree with the same idea, and makes the global audience like the same character. Such a natural thing that requires talented or master artists has become a standardized production and operation mechanism in Hollywood, so it's not surprising that Hollywood can have its present scale. "

"You know a lot, Donny." Murphy patted little Robert Downey on the shoulder, stood up and said, "I'll go and talk to Seth for a while."

Leaving his seat, Murphy went to the back row. Seth logan was sitting in his seat, reading seriously.

He sat opposite Seth Logan and looked askance. "Elements of the movie?"

Seth Logan noticed that Murphy put down his book and scratched the back of his head with a simple smile. "I bought it before I got on the plane."

"You go on." Murphy thinks it's better not to disturb him.

From the beginning of shooting "the dead man", he noticed that Seth logan was not only acting, but also learning about directing. He was a very motivated guy.

There's no doubt that Seth Logan and Jonah hill are both good comedians. It's a waste of time not to develop into comedy movies. Jonah hill can forget it. This fat man likes to play too much and has no idea other than actors. Besides, he's already making a new film with James Franco and rotten boy gang.

Their relationship is very good, so Murphy also knows these people very well. Seth Logan has the ability and perseverance. In the future, he may not be as successful as Robert Downey and James Franco, but he may become a good comedy director.

Now Seth Logan has just served as assistant director for him, and his ability in this aspect is far from enough. If he does improve in directing in a few years, maybe he can push it.

Looking at Seth Logan who picked up the book again, Murphy naturally flashed this idea. He was not good at comedy, but also studied a few comedies. Moreover, the investment was small, the risk was relatively small, and he could attract external capital investment. If he could succeed, the return would not only help Seth Logan, but also make a lot of profits.

At that time, you can put all your small groups in

Thinking about the mess, Murphy closed his eyes, and a flight attendant brought a towel and covered him.

"Thank you." Murphy opens her eyes, nods to her partner, then closes her eyes and falls asleep.

In his sleep, James Franco, Seth Logan, Jonah hill, Robert Downey Jr. and himself suddenly appear in the mansion that Robert Downey Jr. has just bought from Beverly Hills villa. They drink and revel wildly, dance and fool around with countless female stars, until the outside falls apart and the flames are raging

When the plane was about to land, Murphy was woken up by Seth Logan on the opposite side. The business plane landed smoothly at Rome's Fiumicino airport. After the crew got out of the airport and got into the car from a crowd of fans and reporters, Murphy got the latest North American box office statistics just passed by 20th century fox.

In the past weekend, "dead man" not only made a big overseas box office boom, but also had no rivals in the North American market which had been released for four weeks. The trend was extremely stable. The North American box office in the past three days only dropped 40% compared with last weekend. While it got $27.6 million, it also achieved the third consecutive top in the North American box office list!

This is the first time that Murphy has won three box office titles in a row, and "dead man" is also the first film in North America to win three box office titles in a row this year.

Before that, the film had already made $186.3 million in North American box office. This weekend's $27.6 million plus four working days' $19.88 million, the cumulative North American box office of "dead man" has reached $233.78 million.

Add in the $112.5 million that the film gained overseas this weekend, and the global box office of the film easily exceeded $300 million, reaching $346.28 million.

By the time Murphy and other people finished their trip to Rome, "the dead man" had no doubt broken through the $350 million mark.

But this is not the end. The storm caused by this film has not yet come to an end. (to be continued). ）For mobile phone users, please browse and read for better reading experience.
