Chapter 1101： Ready for the sequel

After the accumulation and fermentation of the first trilogy, the influence of the series gradually increased, and finally ushered in an explosion when the fourth part was released.

Although the racing family has not yet driven a car to the sky, it has shown sufficient power in the movie market.

The roar of the engine ignites the passion, and the extreme speed destroys Rio!

In the first three days of the first weekend in North America, "Fast and Furious 5" won US$96.88 million in 4111 theaters in North America!

This is the best opening result of the series so far!

In the city’s head of change, "Indiana Jones 4" only stayed at the top of the North American box office rankings for a week, and was squeezed by "Fast and Furious 5", and the box office dropped from hundreds of millions to 42.71 million the following weekend The dollar fell directly to the third place on the box office chart.

The top two box office charts are all dominated by movies from Relativity Entertainment, and the second place is "Avatar" which enters the fourth weekend screening.

James Cameron’s super giant system showed amazing stability and sustainability. In the fourth weekend, it received another 55.3 million US dollars in North America. The North American box office surpassed 500 million US dollars in one fell swoop, reaching 51.27 million US dollars. .

This is also the fastest box office record of 500 million in North American film history!

Once, the box office of "Avatar" can accumulate to such a high number. When the box office of the first weekend is not particularly outstanding, it depends on the stability to perverted continuity.

The performance of this big production in the international market is much better than that in North America. The world has already set off an upsurge in viewing "Avatar". After nearly five weeks of screening, the total overseas box office has infinitely approached 1 billion US dollars.

Even the newly developed film market on the other side of the Pacific, after nearly a month of screenings, the box office of "Avatar" has also approached 1.4 billion soft coins, setting a new box office record there.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that "Avatar" is steadily advancing towards the record of "Titanic". It is only a matter of time before the latter's total box office record in North America and the world is broken.

Ronan also took time to discuss with James Cameron about the "Avatar" sequel. James Cameron said that the sequel can be prepared, but it will be after next year at the earliest, because he will go to Mali next year. Explore the Yana Trench and experiment with new shooting techniques jointly developed with Sony Electronics and IMAX.

These are also the basis for shooting "Avatar 2".

James Cameron will further "open Pandora's box" in the sequel of "Avatar" to show the audience more wonderful creatures and landscapes on the planet Pandora.

Ronan also knew very well that he immediately expressed his support. Without sufficient technical conditions, "Avatar 2" would be as amazing as the first one, and there are certain difficulties.

James Cameron solemnly extended an invitation to Ronan, inviting Ronan to take a special submersible to explore the Mariana Trench.

However, Ronan declined.

On the one hand, it was too risky, and Jessica Felton clearly opposed it; on the other hand, time did not allow.

If you want to dive so deep, even if you have the most advanced submersible in the world, you have to make some corresponding preparations in advance. At present, there is a lot of work in relativity entertainment, and Ronan can’t throw away many things at hand and go to the Pacific Ocean. Play adventure.

Moreover, James Cameron is not playing, he has to spend a long time in the Pacific, fully experiment with shooting equipment, collect various technical data, and then improve the equipment.

Because according to his plan, quite a few parts of "Avatar 2" will be shot in the water.

The script for the sequel, James Cameron has already started writing. The director believes that being on the Pacific Ocean is more conducive to his script creation.

James Cameron has a wealth of experience in sequel creation. His "Terminator 2" and "Alien 2" surpassed the first film in terms of word of mouth and commercial results.

The most important point is that James Cameron has repeatedly assured Ronan that he will not let "Avatar" become a lifetime series.

Think about how many times did James Cameron jump for votes? Countless people are eager to see, even before Ronan came to Los Angeles from the other side of the Pacific, the second part of "Avatar" has not been completed.

It is said that the filming has started and the schedule has been confirmed, but in the style of James Cameron, who can guarantee that the film will be released on time?

In fact, it's no wonder that the 20th Century Fox wanted to replace or even kill James Cameron when filming "Titanic". Most companies like this are unbearable.

However, James Cameron can bring excellent business results every time, and the income created is enough to make up for any shortcomings.

The sequel to "Avatar", James Cameron has been on the agenda, as for the naked-eye 3D he discussed with Ronan, Ronan can only say that he absolutely supports it if conditions permit.

It is too early to talk about film technology that will not be able to be realized on a large scale in theaters in more than ten years.

This week, Ronan also specially participated in the preparatory meeting for "Fast and Furious 5".

With the increasing investment, "Fast and Furious 5" has entered the ranks of Hollywood's first-line big productions, and will have a larger market space in the future, and even become one of the commercial film series of Relativity Entertainment.

Whether it is Ronan himself or Relativity Entertainment, which can continuously generate huge profits, it will be extremely important.

Director Justin Lin and most of the main creative staff will all return in the new sequel.

In the new one, not only drag racing, there will be more car-related plots.

Although drag racing is the most important and indispensable element in Hollywood movies, there are not many movies that link drag racing, modified cars and extreme sports like the "Fast and Furious" series and promote them into culture. see.

The fifth part will bring the whole series to a larger and more exciting realm.

In other words, in the new movie, there must not only be faster cars and bigger scenes, but also more exciting stories and fighting scenes. The racing scenes will be more grand and exciting than the previous movies.

Jessica Felton and Justin Lin have reached a consensus before and designed a huge story for the film-so big that it takes the capacity of two movies to fully accommodate it.

The capacity of the film is too large, so the crew plans to make a top and bottom film, which means that the fifth and sixth are actually a story.

Following the sequel to "Pirates of the Caribbean", the crew will use a back-to-back approach to complete the shooting of these two films.

In these two movies, there will be more roaring vehicles and all the character relationships will be sorted out.

"When we were considering and discussing stories like this, we found that a movie simply cannot hold so much content." Justin Lin said to Ronan: "The script is 310 pages, so the movie It is imperative to split it into two episodes. Moreover, the racing culture and vehicle modifications in the film will definitely be refreshing."

With the success of two consecutive sequels, Ronan also has sufficient confidence in the Chinese director. At the moment when James Wynn is fully supervising and directing the "horror movie universe" plan, if there are no big surprises, Justin Lin Will direct the "Fast and Furious" series for a long time.

Justin Lin signed a long-term director contract with Relativity Entertainment, and making another trilogy is not a problem.

Relativity Entertainment didn't treat him badly either. Justin Lin's director's remuneration in the new film has reached 10 million US dollars.

Continue to shoot, including Justin Lin, Paul Walker and Dawn Johnson and other people's pay will certainly continue to increase, but all will be limited to a reasonable range in line with market conditions.

The summer file is still hot. This year is destined to be a big movie year. On a new weekend, Universal Pictures’ "Assassin League" is released. The arc bullet has once again refreshed the laws of physics, and Newton’s coffin board once again sounded. .

Just like the "Fast and Furious" series, it seems to be a movie set in the real world, but in fact, the world view is all crooked. It doesn't matter what is reasonable, what you want is entertainment.

As for the plot, let alone tangled.

The **** beauty Julie issues cards online, and Zhan Yimei can counterattack and become a top master against the waste material of the green grassland. What else is impossible?

So, Newton, you just lie down in the coffin.

One day, Dawn Johnson and Paul Walker drove out of the atmosphere, racing in space, and kicking the coffin lid away.

Since Angelina Jolie hooked up with Brad Pitt, despite her reputation, her star journey has been magnanimous. Following the success of "Smiths", the heroine of the film became a big hit when it was released, 5092 The box office of ten thousand dollars is enough to ensure that "Assassin League" suppresses a dry movie that is showing in theaters and airborne the North American box office champion.

The box office drop of "Avatar" is still so low that it is ridiculously low. With another $42.78 million in the sixth weekend, the North American box office is about to reach the threshold of $600 million.

The box office of "Fast and Furious 4" fell sharply this weekend, but the US$40.2 million box office also allowed the North American box office of this action film to exceed US$150 million.

Similarly, the overseas response of these two commercial masterpieces of Relativity Entertainment has surpassed that of North AmericaAvatar. Counting the revenue of the international market, the global box office has reached 16.85 billion US dollars.

"Fast and Furious 4" was launched on a large scale overseas this week, and the global box office was also close to 300 million US dollars.

In addition, after nearly two months of screening, the North American box office of "Iron Man 2" accumulated US$372.58 million, and the global box office exceeded US$800 million.

The first three movies released by Relativity Entertainment in this summer season all achieved great success.

As Independence Day approaches, "Alice in Wonderland" will be released soon.

It was at this time that Ronan and Jessica Felton received an invitation from George Lucas and went to San Francisco to participate in George Lucas and Lucasfilm’s "Indiana Jones 4" Celebration reception.

Because of the relationship between USC alumni, Ronan and George Lucas are also close, and some news has been faintly received.
