1112: "Iron Man 3" hits the box office
(Thank you for your 'Lumia' brothers, I'm so grateful. The old donkey is preparing to find an opportunity to explode...)
Before, there was no press conference for the filming. There were always reports of scattered news, and it has become even more dense recently. There are still many people who don’t know about it, such as Chinese fans, because they all thought Li Donglai was still busy with the "Gravity" incident. Cannes is approaching.
It was not until recently that Li Donglai's Twitter and Weibo news about "World of Warcraft" gradually increased, and people knew that this big fight was really coming.
The most popular game adaptation with fans all over the world, Li Donglai directed a new film, with a huge investment of more than 500 million US dollars. No matter what, it gives "World of Warcraft" a tall and golden halo!
Fans of "World of Warcraft" and fans of Li Donglai were also extremely excited after hearing this news!
"Is it true? Is it true??!!"
"Very good!!!"
"The movie I'm most looking forward to next year, no, I want to watch it!!!"
Every time there is a news that "World of Warcraft is about to make a movie" appears on the Internet, they will click in quickly, wanting to see the real news. The customer service phone number of Phantom Film and Television Company was even more blew up. 24 hours a day, and the phone disconnection rate rose sharply from the original 0% to 95%!
The most questioned was the filming news of "World of Warcraft". The global official website was also very lively, and more foreign fans were stationed. Not only in China, but also foreigners were also very obsessed with Warcraft. There was once a report that an American couple fell in love with Warcraft and actually hid their children in the attic for three years. Finally, they were discovered by a courier and called the police to get rid of them. The couple also became the most addicted to the Internet and were imprisoned.
Chinese media also reported on this matter. When netizens saw it, they couldn't compare to it. Foreigners also went crazy for "World of Warcraft".
There has never been a movie that has not been promoted and has been so popular before it even started filming. Even "Avengers" and "Iron Man", "Transformers" have not!
Originally, if "World of Warcraft" was replaced by another director, the expectation would not be so terrifying. Blizzard had already experienced it before, and after two or three directors, they all failed to destroy the enthusiasm of fans. However, it did not cause even half of the expectation for this filming. It was not until now that Li Donglai gathered a group of superstars and big names like a rocket to join, this expectation doubled.
Therefore, it is better to say that the movie "World of Warcraft" is a product of Blizzard than to say that it is a Phantom that contributes to it. Of course, from the perspective of facts, the copyright belongs to the Phantom completely.
However, no matter how the media "drilled" the news, counter-espionage, disagreement, stealing, bribery, and tried countless methods. No one could find any news that was as big as a bacteria from the Phantom Film and Television Company, which has always been extremely strict.
Even the roles played by actors are scattered and cannot be gathered together.
I only know that Colin Farrell, Channing Tatum, these Hollywood big names gathered. They are in full swing and are more popular than some old faces.
The most important thing is that the beauty group is too crazy, with Natalie Portman leading the way, Emma Watson and Black Livery joining, and this starring lineup is too luxurious. The spacing strength, beauty and popularity are integrated.
"Boss, why isn't it promoting it now? Isn't World of Warcraft doing it now? Is the opportunity quite good?" Ge Blin could clearly feel the fanatical heat outside in the past few days. He was very curious about Li Donglai's inaction.
"It's too early. If this enthusiasm continues to burn, it will cause mental fatigue. The movie will not be released at the earliest. Do you think we can continue to promote until the end of next year? Wait a little longer, release the news step by step, and keep a low-key attention. The production of CG special effects scenes has already begun. As long as we start filming, it will end soon. When it is about to be completed, it needs to be vigorously promoted and then explode together." Li Donglai's eyes flashed with light, which was extremely sharp. This is a manifestation of firmness and confidence.
After several weeks of trouble, Phantom Film and Television Company did not say anything more about World of Warcraft, but instead exhausted these reporters.
But the Chinese media is not tired of this expectation because the Phantom China's fourth bomb is coming.
It's definitely a big attack!
The former "Seattle" just completed four consecutive championships. In the fifth week, it was overtaken by the Hollywood blockbuster "Special Forces 2" and finally landed in fourth place, still closing at 33 million. It pushed the total box office of the movie to a crazy number of 500 million, and once again completed a gorgeous performance.
Now in its sixth week, the seventeenth week of the year, it can still maintain a profit of tens of millions and maintain a fifth position, which is really eye-catching.
The only domestic films that performed best at this time are "Breakup Contract" and "The Cook and Actors and Rogues". The former is a love film created by China and South Korea. It is directed by South Korean director Wu Ji-hwan and starring Bai Baihe, Eddie Peng, Wu Peici, Jiang Jinfu and others.
It mainly tells the story of a tableware designer He Qiaoqiao played by Bai Baihe and Michelin three-star chef Li Xing, played by Peng Yuyan, reached a seemingly breakup contract. In fact, they have their own pain in their hearts. It is also a box office rhythm of 200 million yuan, slightly inferior to the Phantom's "101 Marriage Proposal", starring Bai Baihe is also a contracted actor of Phantom.
Not to mention the latter's starring role is Huang Bo, who has the most box office appeal, and is also one of the leading stars of the Phantom. This drama is illuminated, directed by Huang Bo's good buddy Guan Hu, and the box office is now 270 million. Although it has a good reputation, as a comedy, most viewers buy tickets for Huang Bo.
It is also related to the Phantom, and it is really not a glory.
But even so, the Phantom did not give up any plans for schedule. Another movie that followed had already begun to be popular, and it was vigorous and caused countless topics.
A love story about the founding of the People's Republic of China and the old-fashioned outfit and look can actually attract audiences. It is definitely attracted by the intensive hype of the Phantom and the charm of director Zhao Wei's first directorial work.
Major cities across the country have launched intensive advertising. Online entertainment programs, TV entertainment programs are everywhere, and crews are running around to promote.
Such intensive publicity is to make everyone know that such a movie is released, which is the purpose of the Phantom. It also makes the audience feel that Zhao Wei's graduate work from the Director Department of the Beijing Film Academy is about to be released, and this is the most important thing.
Although only four months have passed, the Phantom has seized the championship of the week for eight weeks and has once again been ahead of all mainland film and television companies. Those formerly established bosses, Huayi and Light, saw this company that was like a beast, rushed wildly and rushed out of control once they exerted their strength, and were all jealous. However, they could not complete any effective blockade.
Even Han Sanshu of Zhongying was releasing the imported blockbuster "Special Forces 2", and he sighed, "The Phantom has become a general trend now. After more than two years of accumulation, it has actually had a certain influence, but it lacks a shout from the forefront. Now, as Li Donglai switched to the country, he immediately led the Phantom's rushing forward and was out of control. In the country, there is probably no film company that can have the Phantom's courage. Unless a big dark horse like "Lost in Thailand" appears again..." During the conversation, envy was beyond words.
"Seattle" that just ended has dominated the championship for four consecutive weeks, and now "To Youth" is coming again, which is really amazing.
And... envy, jealous, hate, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
However, thinking about the Phantom's actions in Hollywood, rushing into the seven major areas of Hollywood, like a mountain pressing down on the top of the top of the mountain, has only played for five years. Thinking about the Phantom of South Korea, it has occupied more than half of the box office of domestic Korean movies in a few years, and has almost dominated the blockbuster market of Korean movies...
Think about this, maybe these state-owned companies will not be too depressed. After all, there is no impossible for them to fail even the new forces that the six Hollywood traditional majors must recognize. But the boss’s position is not easy, and there will always be a feeling of embarrassment, and at the same time, the pressure will rise sharply!!
In China, major media across the country have begun to vigorously praise Li Donglai, who exists as a movie god, and the Phantom, and those actors naturally have countless praises.
"Director, "To Youth" is about to be released, so you have to come back and support it. They are all Phantom movies. No matter how small the mosquito is, it is still meat. You can't be more favorable than the other."
Li Donglai, who had no plan to come back, was also urged by Zhao Wei after phone calls. I was really embarrassed not to come back.
She has amnesia and said today that she was a little busy and might not be able to come back. Because of this, another masterpiece "Iron Man 3" will be released. As a director, he is a soul figure, so he naturally has to accompany him everywhere to promote it.
This drama takes so much effort, and he also hopes to have a good ending. At least it will exceed the box office of "Iron Man 2" by one billion. He is boasting about it.
Of course, Zhao Wei knew that the Hollywood blockbuster "Iron Man 3" that is also popular now is about to be released. After hearing this, she said, "It's okay, you can make some time." Li Donglai agreed and said she would think about it. As a result, she called again the next day, "Director, have you made time free? How are you thinking about it?" Li Donglai had to answer, "I'm still shifting the promotion date, wait, don't have too much hope." On the third day, "Can you come back?" On the fourth day, "I'm waiting for you."... He almost collapsed, and finally ran back honestly.
Anyway, let’s promote the release of "Iron Man 3" in advance.
Chapter completed!
