Mainly for big scenes and special effects.
Although the former "Face Changing" was well received, its global box office was only more than 2 million, and the production budget of 9000 million US dollars can only be regarded as just paying off.
The reason is that this movie is still a traditional old Hollywood action movie routine.
Simon specially upgraded the action scenes this time, basically in accordance with the specifications of the "Mission: Impossible" series, instead of the original version of punching and kicking, especially at the end of the film, the duel between the two protagonists, using Following the routine of exploding shells, a [-]-ton old oil tanker was directly blown up during the filming.
After the premiere on Wednesday, the word-of-mouth ban was lifted the next day, and the comprehensive media score reached 9.2 points at the classic level, setting a new high for John Wu's Hollywood-directed word-of-mouth.
Apparently in order to circumvent "Face Changing", only one mid-budget romance film "Crazy For You" starring Meg Ryan was released this week, which does not pose any threat to "Face Changing".Coupled with the strong publicity of Daenerys Entertainment and the large scale of 3000 opening screens, it can be said that the right time, place and people are all available.
Officially released, the box office of the new version of "Face Changing" did not disappoint Daenerys Entertainment.
On the first day of its release, including the morning and night shows, the film successfully earned a box office of 1762 million US dollars. With such a start, it is conservatively estimated that the first week will reach more than 7000 million US dollars, which is comparable to the figure of last year's "Mission: Impossible 2" in the same period.
France, Cannes.
In a blink of an eye, the time came to Sunday, May 5th.
The 50th Cannes Film Festival has officially come to an end.
Regarding the ownership of this year's awards, according to the information privately inquired by the Daenerys entertainment team, it can be described as exciting.
Isabelle Adjani, the chairman of the Cannes jury this year, is well known as an actress with a great personality. This time, she abandoned the two previous rules of Cannes in the awards stage, either voting or delineating outstanding films to discuss their ownership. Instead, Watch and discuss one by one.
It was almost overshadowed by Italian leftist director Nanni Moretti.
Instigated by Nanni Moretti, Adjani even voluntarily gave up her privilege as the chairman of the jury and advocated equality for all.
The result can be imagined.
You know, how big the privilege of the Cannes jury is, just think about "Fahrenheit 911/[-]" in the original time and space.
Quentin, who was an iron buddy of Weinstein back then, served as the chairman of the jury and directly promoted the documentary to the position of the Palme d'Or in Cannes, which in turn allowed this low-cost documentary with an investment of 600 million US dollars to sell 2.2 million US dollars at the global box office. , earn a blast.
Adjani's various tricks made Nanni Moretti almost succeed, pushing an Iranian film "The Taste of Cherry" that she liked but was not good enough to the Palme d'Or.
In the end, Daenerys Entertainment's public relations team secretly intervened, allowing the judges who could talk to turn the matter on the right track, and reminded Adjani to return to the traditional voting rules to determine awards.
Seeing that his efforts were about to fail, Nanni Moretti lobbied Adjani again to set up double yolk eggs. Unfortunately, Daenerys Entertainment had already taken control of the situation in advance, and Adjani also reacted and did not compromise.
Final vote.
Nanni Moretti's "Taste of Cherry" was out of the competition without winning any awards, and Adjani actually prefers the Canadian director Igo, whose copyright was also bought by Daenerys Entertainment in private. Yang's new film "Unexpected Spring" also got nothing, and "Six Heroes of Light Pig" won.
In addition, it is also from Daenerys Entertainment's "Soul Shifting Girl" that broke out double yolk eggs, and Mia Kirschner and Angelina Jolie shared the best actress award.
It can be called another big victory for Daenerys Entertainment in Cannes.
Although, even Simon felt that the double yolk eggs in "Soul Shifting Girl" were a bit too much, but history has always belonged to the winners.
Even if Adjani made all kinds of complaints publicly in the interview afterwards, Nanni Moretti was also eccentric, but it is impossible to reverse anything. After all, there are disputes in every Cannes. As for public relations, it is everyone Playing the game within the rules, if you really want to puncture it, everyone's face will be ugly.
On the other hand, after the premiere in Cannes last Saturday, most of the main creators of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" have left, but Li Youhu and Teacher Yu stayed until the end.
It's a pity that I couldn't enter the closing ceremony, and I still went to visit everywhere.
Seeing the end of the film festival, the two women made up their minds and found that Daenerys Entertainment was the biggest winner. They were more or less slanderous about seeing through the truth, but at the same time they were unavoidably proud.
After all this involves some man.
their men.
Now that all the dust has settled, the two also set off to return to China the next day. The next time they will go to the United States before the release of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" in July to participate in the promotion of the film.
However, things are still a little unexpected.
This time, another woman was arranged to return to China in their Gulfstream V, named Mira Sorvino.
After chatting for a while, I learned that the actress is going to China to play a role in "Love Call Transfer".
This is... what a coincidence.
Because the two women also knew that there happened to be Mira Sorvino among the Cannes judges this year, and it was obviously the same person.
The Cannes Film Festival has just ended, and this woman is going to China to participate in a project secretly led by someone, and there is obviously a story behind it.
It's just that the two of them can't say much about these things.
Departing on the afternoon of Monday, May 5, the Gulfstream V arrived in China on Tuesday morning.
Here is still the team from the Westeros family who came to pick up the plane. What makes the two women a little more balanced is that the very 'chested' Mira Sorvino is not with them. The waitress team picks up, but it's always better as long as they're not together.
After returning to the courtyard house in Mao'er Hutong, the two found that Chen Qing was there.
Of course, there are also Zhu Momo and Mo Wuling who live here permanently.
They get along pretty well in private, so Li Youhu knows that Zhu Momo is having a hard time recently.
It seems that some time ago, the 96-level acting class of the Chinese opera was criticized by the whole school because of the various impetuousness of the freshman, and Zhu Momo, an auditor, was also involved. The head teacher of class 96, Mr. Chang, talked with Zhu Momo's mother on the phone. Then Zhu Momo's mother gave a strict order after teaching her daughter and sister a lesson. What happens to the students in class 96, Zhu Momo will do the same.
Not only professional courses, but also cultural courses must be taken together.
Basically, it is converted from an auditor to a regular student.
The scumbag Zhu Momo is barely coping with professional courses, cultural courses and the like are almost fatal, but mother's orders are irresistible. Recently, it can be said that he has been making up classes day and night.
Miserable.
According to the words that Zhu Momo complained when he met Li Youhu and Teacher Yu at dinner, he had already lost a few pounds recently because of his already swollen figure.
This made Li Youhu completely cut off the idea of going to China Opera or Beijing Film Academy to formally read a book.
Anyway, the business is now on the right track.
After resting overnight, Li Youhu rushed to Jinshu Media's headquarters next to Beijing Normal University early in the morning on Wednesday, and happened to be on the same road with Chen Qing. I was a little apprehensive, and seeing that the girl seemed to be in a low mood today, I became even more apprehensive, but I couldn't say it temporarily.
Fortunately, there was nothing to say along the way.
Arriving at the company, Li Youhu went to find her agent, Guan Yinan, to discuss her filming arrangements for her role in "Love Call Transfer", and inquire about the latest gossip by the way.
Chen Qing joined Wu Shanlin and went to Radio and Television together.
In an office of the Radio and Television Yamen near Fuxingmen, the two arrived and waited for more than ten minutes before seeing a certain leader.
bad news.
