Chapter 452

January 15.

The Christmas holiday has been over for a long time, and countless people have started a new round of work. However, the box office market in North America is not depressed because of the working day. On the contrary, it is becoming more and more intense.

School of film and television, University of Southern California.

As a famous film and Television College in the United States and even around the world, it has always been the first choice for countless people who want to enter the entertainment industry. You can see many talents in various fields, such as directors, actors, producers, dubbing, music, photography, and even theoretical talents engaged in film theory research and film history research.

Among them, the most famous alumni are director Spielberg, and George Lucas, the director of star wars and the boss of Industrial Light Magic special effects!

Especially George Lucas!

In 2006, George Lucas donated $175 million to his alma mater, the highest donation ever received by the school of film arts at USC, and the fifth single donation of more than $100 million.

(Note: USC School of film and television will change its name to USC School of Film Arts in 2006.)

In one of the classrooms.

At the moment, acting Professor Monica is teaching 28 students in her class.

The students also listen carefully.

After all, Professor Monika is very beautiful. She is only 30 years old and has red hair. Her whole body is different from that of a girl and full of intellectual brilliance.

In the words of the students: "that's because it's a small class, otherwise, if it's a big class in a step-by-step classroom, the boys of the whole school will flock to it. Well, who makes our professor Monica so beautiful and moving

Teaching~

"First of all, let's talk about the Christmas 2000 schedule that just passed."

Speaking to 28 students in the Acting Department, Professor Monica said in a loud voice: "when it comes to the Christmas season just past, we can't help mentioning the Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's stone movie. It's produced by Wald pictures, directed by Chris Columbus, starring Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson

"Up to now, Harry Potter films have been released in North America for one month."

"What about the box office? I wonder if any of my classmates can tell me? "

As soon as the voice fell, more than ten students were scrambling to answer the questions.

Of course, that's because it's a question from Monika, a beauty professor. Otherwise, there will not be so many students.

"Irene, you answer." Professor Monica called the roll.

"Yes, professor."

Irene, a girl, got up confidently and said, "up to now, the one month old Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's stone movie has made more than 265 million US dollars at the box office; Overseas countries and regions have also made more than 350 million US dollars at the box office. "

"At the same time, according to the analysis data provided by Comcast data center, the final North American box office performance of Harry Potter should exceed 300 million US dollars; The global cumulative box office data, more than 800 million dollars, or even over 900 million dollars

That's all.

All of a sudden, Professor Monica took the lead in clapping, and the rest of the students applauded.

As a member of the Acting Department of the film academy, if you can't know the status of popular films in time, then you are not qualified, let alone Harry Potter, which dominates the Christmas schedule!

In the following time, Professor Monika kept analyzing the Christmas movies.

Harry Potter, 100% men, king, chocolate

These films are constantly mentioned.

Of course, the focus of this class is still on a series of Olympic films released at the end of December 2000.

"Crouching Tiger, hidden dragon", "drug network", "parting ways", "looking for Forrester" and other films have been repeatedly mentioned.

So far, the most outstanding film in a series of Olympic films is "drug network", which was released on December 27.

At the beginning of its release, the film also adopted a small-scale release mode, with only 285 cinemas.

The box office of the first weekend was only $2.5 million in three days.

However, it is undoubtedly the most box office winning film in a series of Olympic films. So far, after expanding the number of cinemas to 890 recently, the North American box office has exceeded 35 million US dollars.

Secondly, the outstanding performance is crouching tiger, hidden dragon.

On December 27, crouching tiger, hidden dragon was shown in 210 cinemas in North America.

Without expanding the scope of the show, it has now made more than $9 million at the box office, which is quite strong.

As for the other series of Olympic films.

"Ha ha!"

Professor Monica laughed and said, "it's not that I look down on these Olympic films, but that they are hard to get good box office figures before the Oscar nominations are announced. For example, the film "parting ways", which is from the Czech Republic, is mainly to compete for the best foreign language film award of the 73rd Academy Awards, so as to impact the higher box office data. "

"But I'm not optimistic about the outcome."

"By comparison, I think the crouching tiger, Hidden Dragon film directed by Ang Lee has a high probability of winning the 73rd Academy Award for best foreign language film."

"Of course, this is my own judgment."

Smell speech, many students can't help laughing.

Crouching tiger, hidden dragon?

Many people shook their heads. Obviously, they didn't go to the cinema to see the film. After all, it's hard for many people to get interested in movies starring non European and American actors.

"Oh, forget to say that wolder pictures is the investor and distributor of Crouching Tiger, hidden dragon." Professor Monika cautioned.

Hearing this, many people immediately brightened their eyes.

Looking at Hollywood as a whole, the most popular film company among young actors today is undoubtedly Wald pictures, which promotes and employs new people boldly.

What's more, movies like "Sparta 300", "Spider Man" and "Harry Potter" are all produced and distributed by Wald pictures.

"Maybe I'll go to the cinema sometime and see the so-called crouching tiger, hidden dragon." One student muttered.

This is the brand effect of the film company!

Although Wald film, which has been established for a short time, still has a high reputation, high standard and high box office, which has set up the correct brand effect in the impression of countless people.

"The first watch" is presented.
