Chapter 321 Killing to Hollywood

Because of the success of the first part of "The Jedi" and the warm-up publicity that began in mid-May, various posters, trailers, movie recommendation reviews, etc., the number of "Seven Deadly Sins" was released in the first week of 525 cinemas, and the box office results recorded in the first weekend were very good, 251. 180,000 US dollars, the score of a single hall is infinitely close to 30,000 US dollars, as high as 28,915 US dollars.

This score is second only to the newly released Jurassic Park, directed by Spielberg, with a single venue score of 55,622 US dollars; Harrison Ford's "Desperate World", with a single theater score of 32,265 US dollars; and "Seattle Night" starring Tom Hanks and Megrian. Sleep, his single hall score of 31083 US dollars, ranking fourth.

July to September is the hottest time in the summer season. During the release of The Seven Deadly Sins, in addition to the three super films such as Jurassic Park above, there are also a lot of films such as Law Firm starring Tom Cruise, Robert Reford and Demi Moore. Immoral deal, "Fire Sniper" starring Clint Eastwood, and so on.

When he saw these lists, Chen Jin was a little dizzy. Most of these were real classics. Twenty years later, they were super popular. Unexpectedly, his "Seven Deadly Sins" actually gave them equal seats, and even stepped on some films under his feet. It was really a man's pride to the extreme.

However, the next three weeks are decisive, or the next second and third weeks are the key to victory or defeat. At this time, although the box office in other places overseas is also as high as 18 million US dollars, Chen Jin is not in the mood to pay attention to it.

In the second week, the number of theaters of "Seven Deadly Sins" soared to 1,100, and the results of a single theater rushed to 30,000 US dollars, with a weekend box office record of 3,4 million US dollars, and this box office record has reached the fifth place in the weekly box office list of the United States, second only to 56 million in Jurassic Park. 52 million for Desperate World, 49,000 million for Sleepless in Seattle and 43 million for Line Sniper.

Not to mention Jurassic Park, which is now his fifth week of release, and the global box office has accumulated more than 700 million US dollars. Of course, Chen Jin is very clear that its limit is 900 million US dollars, that is to say, he is still continuing.

Interestingly, "The End of the World" and "Sleepless in Seattle" are also released in the second week. Only "Fire Sniper" is the third week. Generally speaking, there is a rule in the box office of all movies in the world. The third week of the film release is often the most popular, and it is also the best at the box office. Few Exceptions like the Titanic. Of course, there may be some special cases for local movies due to publicity reasons. For example, when Hong Kong movies are released locally, the third week is usually the second week.

In the third week of the decisive battle, "Fire Sniper" fell behind first. In the fourth week, his box office has slipped to less than 30 million, receiving 29.15 million US dollars. At the same time, the results of the sixth week of the release of "Juratic Park" also dropped significantly, only just over 40 million, receiving 41.09 million US dollars.

"Seven Deadly Sins" failed to achieve a miracle after all. Although the number of cinema lines has increased to 1,600 this week, the movie box office is only 44.28 million US dollars, and there is a significant decline in the single theater performance, which often indicates the box office in the fourth week. Decline.

Although it is only 44.28 million US dollars, it finally reached the top three of the weekly box office list in the United States in such a strong period, second only to 61.88 million US dollars in Desperate World and 52.71 million US dollars in Seattle Sleepless. This is definitely a milestone for Hong Kong films, not to mention now The global box office has accumulated 200 million US dollars, and this number is enough to drive all Hong Kong people crazy, especially entertainers.

200 million US dollars, yes, you're absolutely right. It's 200 million, and it's not Hong Kong dollars, but US dollars. What's more, this doesn't seem to be the end. Oh, my God, thinking about so much money, I'm a little dizzy - "Entertainment Unlimited" Sha Ganglang.

200 million US dollars, compared with the current Hong Kong box office of 4, which is really a big gap. What does this mean? Obviously, King Chen has become a real Hollywood production master. He is the symbol of Hong Kong movies - "Star News of the Week" half a pig knife.

With an investment of 30 million Hong Kong dollars, he is about to earn 3 billion Hong Kong dollars at the box office. This jealous guy, no wonder he is so popular with women. The most unfair thing in the world is this - Entertainment Weekly Ke Fan.

Everyone focused on 200 million US dollars and sang praises to Chen Jin. Of course, there are naturally countless people who envy and hate. It is said that Brother Qiang and Mr. He Guanchang hate it now, because when they chose to invest in Jackie Chan's "Hongfan District" or this "Seven Deadly Sins", He did not hesitate to choose Hongfan District, which invested 50 million Hong Kong dollars, and abandoned the Seven Deadly Sins, which invested only 30 million Hong Kong dollars.

Of course, there is also a reason. First, "Hongfan District" and "JeddyMen" have the same meaning. They are both witty action movies, and the investment is also about 50 million Hong Kong dollars. With the previous success, the latter is naturally more stable. Second, both of them have also read the script of "Seven Deadly Sins" and think that This film is too dark and unpleasant, and the risk is too high.

200 million US dollars, and it's only three weeks. At this time, the two of them don't think that "Hongfan District" can get the same results, but there has never been any regret medicine in the world.

No one has endless money, and so are the companies of the two people. They have spent almost 40 million yuan to invest in Fire. They also have their own investments and films. At that time, there was no objection to Chen Jin's choice.

What's more, even if they know that Chen Jin may have some careful thoughts now, that's what they chose. Besides, the film hasn't started shooting yet. Who knows what the box office will be like? Now think about it, I can only hope that "Hongfan District" will sell well.

It is different from the media in Hong Kong, because of the popularity of The Seven Deadly Sins, and the global media also have their own reports and interpretations.

The dialogue is very memorable. It is not as boring and interesting as the last movie Jedi Cop. The anti-horn not only appeared unexpectedly in the last scene, but also had a large monologue. What he said is not profound, but it is difficult to figure out. The film dares to give a large line to show its artistic charm, which is really a good way. Although the ending ended in an anti-angle death, it was actually a complete victory for him. - The Times

Eating, *** swinging, greed, laziness, arrogance, jealousy, anger - the seven original sins convey cruel humanity and violence. The director concentrated everything on the final end of the explosion through a wonderful layout, so natural and insipid, but profound and shocking. Shock, it's really wonderful - German Bild

At the same time, the Hong Kong film, which ranked third on the U.S. weekly box office, also made the media in the United States have more affirmation and praise for Chen Jin and the play he directed for the first time.

In a completely different style from "The Jedi Cop", the former is humorous and happy, but "The Seven Deadly Sins" is dark and depraved. From this moment on, KINGCHAN has left a deep enough impression on us - The Chicago Sun

KINGCHAN's first director's work did a great job. From set, lighting, photography, to sound effects and editing, every detail is perfectly grasped and amazing. Undoubtedly, he has succeeded - Entertainment Weekly

This is KINGCHAN's second script and his first director's work. His performance is also great. It can be said that he has fully understood the Hollywood spirit and production method. He may become another oriental miracle of Hollywood (the first Bruce Lee) - USA Today

The success of "The Seven Deadly Sins" also put Chen Jin on the track of success. He began to have some fame in Hollywood. As long as he continues to accumulate, it is natural that more people will pay attention to him. He has that kind of capital. In the eyes of Eastern and Western people, he is such a perfect and handsome face and figure. One point is enough for people to remember you in the first place.

Compared with the powerful faction, the reason why the idol faction is easier to be faster and more popular is that they have a good face, and this good appearance can first be liked and fascinated by the public. Whether it is a record or a movie, or even something else, the most direct purpose is to please the public and let them pay for it obediently. Money, then, you can imagine how those bosses will make a choice.

At the beginning of August, the global release of "Seven Deadly Sins" ended. Although the local box office in Hong Kong did not collapse in the last week, it even increased to a certain extent due to the stimulation of overseas news and the madness of Hong Kong media. In the end, it only collected 55 million Hong Kong dollars. This box office is really not very good.

Of course, this is for Chen Jin's gold-lettered signboard. In addition, compared with the world's total of 25165,6891 US dollars, converted into more than HK$2.2 billion, Hong Kong's box office is indeed a little shabby.

No wonder there are still some media. Besides, Chen Jin's film is a complete Hollywood film, even a kind of flattery to Hollywood, which has lost the spirit of Hong Kong films. Unfortunately, most people sneer at this sour argument.

30 million for HK$22 billion. Unfortunately, except for the issuance fee, I only got a little more than 1.2 billion yuan. In addition to Hong Kong's box office, it is not 1.2 billion Hong Kong dollars. Although this is already 40 times the profit, which is simply crazy, Chen Jin has taken half of the profit to others. What he has in his heart is The increasingly possessiveness of the stock made him start planning to do something.

"Seven Deadly Sins" has just finished its public release, and "The Line of Fire" has also completed its post-production, and the publicity in the United States is extremely popular. By the way, the continuous success of "The Jedi" and "The Seven Deadly Sins" have made Universal Pictures full of confidence and want to take the opportunity to make another big one more time.

You know, Jurassic Park, which has just finished its release and has won more than 900 million US dollars at the box office worldwide, is also invested by Universal Pictures. In this favorable situation, Universal Pictures is ambitious and has the confidence to win the glory of the first film group in the United States this year. .

Because of the length of The Wire, Universal Pictures is not without a microblog. James said in the initial negotiation that he would charge an extra five percentage points of the distribution fee. After Chen Jin refused, he said three more points. In the end, he did not reach a close, so he terminated the negotiation.

At that time, "Seven Deadly Sins" had just been released. After the second week of rage, James finally couldn't sit still and took the initiative to let Chen Guobao contact Jinchen Group, which was negotiating with 21st Century Fox.

In fact, the length of the film is too long, and there are also relevant regulations on increasing distribution fees in North America. The same is true for cinemas. They will watch the dishes. However, strong film companies and big-name super blockbusters, no matter how long it is, a copper will not be given to you.

Chen Jin's negotiation with Fox in the 21st Century is not fake, but he also bit two points here, and he has no intention to let go for the time being. In this case, Chen Jin did not pretend and directly talked to James.

James should have known the chassis of Fox in the 21st century. He also said two points. However, now Chen Jin doesn't want to give away a dime. The reason he gave is that the movies produced by Jinchen Film Company have been guaranteed. Every time, the high performance of the single theater is enough to make the cinema impossible to say. At the same time, the ring Ball Pictures is now a super giant. With their strength and the quality of Theft Fire, there is no possibility of increasing the distribution fee.

In the end, the same stubborn James has never done the more ambitious Chen Jin, but Chen Jin is not without giving him benefits. He has signed the distribution rights of Jedi Cop 2, which will start shooting next year, to Universal Pictures first.

If the cooperation is good now, it does not mean that Jinchen Group must find Universal Pictures for the next film, because the quality of his film is good enough. With the guarantee, everyone is willing to help, and there are various benefits of not using it. In this way, the collaborators of Jinchen Group will change in the next moment. Americans believe in reality. Doctrine, what you have in your own hands is your own.

At the same time, the two sides immediately agreed that Chen Jin will rush to the United States with the creators of The Wire for publicity.

The last two times, Chen Jin was not famous. The past was of little significance, and Chen Jin was not happy. It's better to stay in Hong Kong to save character and slowly lift the appetite of the big guys. However, with the success of the Seven Deadly Sins, he has gained a certain popularity and popularity, and has also received certain praise. So, now It's time to open the curtain of publicity and appear on a larger stage, so that more people can know him, like him, and fall in love with him.

And the film company does not want the main creators of the film to help promote it. That kind of publicity effect is more. However, at the beginning, they had the same concerns as Chen Jin, but now it is different. The simplest truth is that Chen Jin and others have achieved the eye-catching effect in the past, and that is already very Good effect.
