Chapter 304 Five Powerful Opponents at the North American Box Office

Wang Zhengfei's planning in the early stage of graduation has completely triggered an upsurge of graduation songs, attracting the masters of crouching tigers and hiding dragons among students.

However, Wang Zhengfei himself did not rest for a long time, but soon returned to the crew of Snow Leopard for filming.

There is another thing worth paying attention to for Wang Zhengfei, that is, the film "Qin Shi Ming Yue - Shang", which has been scheduled to be released on June 1st, is finally decided to be released worldwide in June. In addition to the audience in Asia, the whole world can also see it this time.

However, Wang Zhengfei himself looked through the film evaluation report of the current schedule sent by Lions Gate Pictures. There are many movies released in this schedule, many of which are very powerful.

In June, the global film market has begun a fierce battle. There are two golden periods in China, the Spring Festival and the summer schedule, and there are undoubtedly more foreign schedules, but the more important ones are the two summer and the Christmas schedules. However, relatively speaking, the summer schedule is much earlier in China. Inside, the period from the end of June to the middle of September is the summer season, but not in foreign countries. In May, Hollywood blockbusters have begun to land in the world.

For many countries, the smoke of Ice Age 2 has just passed, and Tom's Mission Impossible 3 follows and lands on the beach.

Mission: Impossible 1 was released in 1996 and has a bumper box office. Four years later, in 2000, Paramount found Tom again and invited the famous Chinese action director John Woo to direct and shoot the second Mission Impossible, which became a classic, and many of the scenes are still imitated by some films. Now, six years later, Tom is dressed up again, still playing the role of the great hero Ethan, accepting the impossible task in Michelle. With the help of Mohan and Philip. Hoffman fought for wisdom and courage, and finally eliminated the evil forces with the help of computer expert Luther.

The story is still old-fashioned, but Tom's invincible charm, coupled with the addition of Chinese star Li Meiqi, has made Chinese people pay more attention to the film.

The shooting of Mission: Impossible 3 is full of twists and turns, and the director David has been replaced one after another. Finch and Joe. Kanahan also replaced the entire completed script and finally used J.J., a TV director who had never directed a film. Abrams. Tom, the producer. Cruise's amazing move paid off, and the film topped the North American box office for two consecutive weeks.

It was followed by another blockbuster landing. Before that, a film of the same name adapted from a best-selling novel, The Da Vinci Code, was released.

The director of the film is Lang. Howard is famous in Hollywood and is very strict in the selection of actors. He first found Tom, the youngest Oscar Lifetime Achievement Award winner in American history. Hanks plays the protagonist of the film, Robert. Professor Langton then selected the French actress Audrey who performed well in Angels Love Beauty. Tatu, even the supporting role is the famous "killer Lyon" - Jean. Renault is all masters of the acting school.

When he saw Da Vinci's Code, Wang Zhengfei drew a red line on Da Vinci's Code, which was different from Mission Impossible 3, which was released on May 5th. By June, it was already lack of stamina. At the end of the crossbow, it was impossible to wear Lu Yingye. That's the way. What's more, Wang Zhengfei's impression that the box office of Mission: Impossible 3 is not very strong.

But "The Da Vinci Code" is different. Since 2005, "Da. Both the original work and the film of Vinci Code have received unprecedented controversy and attention. Even if there is a lot of criticism about the casting of the crew, the media's comments are more. Finch Code is a film loyal to the original work, but unfortunately, the film did not bring any surprises to the audience." "The film is mediocre, there is no suspense and no romance, and more importantly, it is not interesting." And so on.

But with Tom. Hanks's wisdom and profound acting skills, with a unique actor, plus the Oscar for Best Director Lang. Howard's dispatch, "Da. It's hard for Finch Code not to be at the box office.

The release date of "Da Vinci Code" is May 19, and when "Qin Shi Ming Yue - Shang" was released in North America, it was the time when "Da Vinci Code" was like Zhongtian. It can be imagined that it is difficult to cut off "Da Vinci Code". As far as Wang Zhengfei knows, "Da Vinci Code" is only in North America. The house has a super box office of 217 million yuan, and the annual box office in North America can also squeeze into the top five.

However, compared with "Da Vinci Code", in this information sent by Lionsgate Pictures, Wang Zhengfei is more worried about the other one, only than "X-Men 3" scheduled to be released in the morning of "Qin Shi Ming Yue - Shang". In Wang Zhengfei's impression, the North American box office of "X-Men" is still above "Da Vinci Code". There is no doubt.

It was basically a direct hit, followed by the release of Cars on the 9th, which is the seventh animated feature film jointly launched by Disney and Pixar.

After Toy Story, Finding Nemo, "Superman" and other films created the miracle of computer-made 3D animation, the production of these films has become the new king of animation in Hollywood, and the friction with the old club Disney has gradually increased, resulting in Peak in June this year. The seventh animated feature film, Cars, may become their last collaborative film with Disney.

Because of this, the last one is to do its best. Naturally, you will choose to do your best. According to the previous glorious history of these two companies, this time's "Car Story" must be fierce and absolutely terrible. The last box office is Wang Zhengfei's memory, and finally the North American ticket. Fang's second good results, and the first place was the release of Pirates of the Caribbean 2 in early July, and The Pirates of the Caribbean, which was released two years ago, cost more than 300 million dollars at the U.S. box office alone. Therefore, Disney took advantage of the victory to start the sequel and the unnamed third episode. In addition to the hero and heroine of the original team, please come. Runfa plays the Chinese pirate in the third episode, which is full of selling points.

In addition to Pirates of the Caribbean 2, there is also an opponent that needs special attention, that is, Superman 5. In terms of the cast, Super 5 follows the powerful acting line of Batman 5, and is Brian, the young director of the X-MEN series. Singh is at the helm. In addition, the late screen idol Malone? Brando will continue to "play" Superman's biological father in Super 5, which is also a special concern for many fans of the Superman series.

Then Wang Zhengfei compared it, and it was particularly sad to find that these movies that need to fight directly with "Qin Shi Ming Yue - Xia" turned out to be the top few at the North American box office. It should be said that the top five have the opportunity to fight.

It should be said that it is sad or something. There are so many powerful blockbusters staring at each other. Although "Qin Shi Mingyue-Shang" has created a miracle in Asia, it has never proved in Europe and the United States whether its film can continue to be a strong box office in Asia. If it can be done, then There is no doubt that the ranking of "Qin Shi Ming Yue - Shang" on the global box office list will be pushed to an extremely high position. Basically, the top ten can be booked, and even the top five are promising. This is not sensational or anything, but it is true.

In fact, before this, no discourse film had the opportunity to squeeze into the top ten of the box office list of that year, and the box office of "Qin Shi Ming Yue - Shang" has exceeded the global box office of $213 million previously maintained by "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" directed by Ang Lee, and "Qin Shi Ming Yue - Shang" is in the whole The area where the ball is released is only different in Asia, or East Asia. If it is released in other parts of the world, it is hard to say how much the box office can reach, but it should definitely be a brand-new record.

In addition to these opponents, the other threats to Wang Zhengfei are not very great, but these opponents alone are enough to make "Qin Shi Ming Yue - Shang" drink a pot.

There is no doubt that the sharp weapon of "Qin Shi Ming Yue - Shang" is the beautiful special effects, but this only has a great advantage in the face of local films from Asian countries.

For the film industry, there is no doubt that the biggest opponent is piracy, among which media diversification is a very important killer. The attack on the film industry by media diversification began to rise as early as the 1960s. At first, it was TV, but now it is undoubtedly the Internet, and the evolutionary form of the former deadly enemy videotape - DVD It has long been the backbone of the film industry's profitability. In the 1980s, there were only a few masterpieces that exceeded $100 million in box office in one year. Now $100 million is the passing line of works that they think they are blockbusters. Although most of their artistic exploration of film does more harm than good, these big guys are precisely the killers of the film industry against other media - pictures and paintings that can't be comparable to any form of playback. Quality and sound create an amazing audio-visual effect. Do you want to experience it? If you want to experience it, go to the cinema! Therefore, the "rescue city owner" has become the protagonist of today's screen.

But there is no advantage in the face of Hollywood movies. As we all know, Hollywood movies are the hands of this stunt rampant mode, which is carried forward by Hollywood.

Now it is difficult for "Qin Shi Ming Yue - Shang" to counterattack the North American box office market of Hollywood, where stunts are rampant.
