Chapter 276 Global Box Office Breaks 500 Million

{"Saw" is a very bloody and savage movie.↗

It inevitably makes some people feel sick, and if a horror movie makes people feel that way, it means it's halfway successful.

A sick and crazy murderer, all kinds of weird and terrifying ways of killing, and a meaningful central theme have made this film.

What's even more incredible is that it seems that this film is set for North American movie fans. The core of this film can be seen that it is a European and American movie, and the screenwriter and director are exactly Chinese?

This makes me curious?

After investigation, I found that the director of this film is nothing special. He is an ordinary new Chinese director. The screenwriter of this film is Wang.

Speaking of Wang, you may not be familiar with it. But when it comes to "Transformers" and "This Man from Earth", you should know it. These two works are also written by Wang.

I'm very curious that a new Chinese director actually understands our minds in this way, and even writes him into a script to shoot a movie. "Saw" is a great horror film, and Wang Cheng made "Saw"."}

——【Hollywood Film Critics】

The momentum of "Saw" is as always, in North America, $860,000 on the first day, $1.72 million on the second day, $267 on the third day, and $3.42 million on the fourth day.

However, all this did not stop, day 5 281, day 6 293, day 7 260.

In a week in North America, "Saw" won a box office of $15.26 million. Combined with the fact that there is no recent release, "Saw" ranked second in the North America's weekly box office list.

The first is "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", 17.56 million, the second is "Saw" 15.26 million, and the third is "Life and Death" 10.56 million.

Such results, such screens, and the whistling reputation and discussion, "Saw" completely exploded in North America.

In addition, the screening volume was increased in the second week. According to professionals, the box office in the second week may be higher than the first week.

There are not many movies with box office higher than the first week in the second week, and they all achieved extraordinary results in the end, just like the big reversal of "Titanic".

Various reasons have led to the popularity of "Saw" and it is not only the topic, but also the director of the film Liu Zhiyuan has become popular. Several of the Hollywood actors have increased their value due to home reasons.

How could these people think that they were just a supporting role when they were in Hollywood. Unexpectedly, they went to China and made a movie and became popular like this.

But these people suddenly discovered something very tricky, because the contract signed was five, and the chips of each film could not exceed 20%. This was done by Wang Meng.

In other words, even if you shoot a sequel, the maximum salary will only increase by 20%, which makes the group of people speechless.

Moreover, they are also optional characters, and the main characters they starred are Chinese, so even if they make a fuss, it is useless. At worst, they won’t need you anymore, so they will look for them from the supporting role.

Very speechless!

Director Liu Zhiyuan has some reputation in North America.

In China, from becoming a perverted director at the beginning to winning glory for the country, but now he has not received much abuse in North America?

Because they are scolding the screenwriter, many film critics are willing to die - the biggest contributor and behind-the-scenes manipulator of this film is Wang Meng.

This led to the fact that in addition to the King Kong fans before Wang Meng, there were also some horror fans. The rest of the people who didn't like Wang Meng to be perverted.

In short, whether it is scolding or admiring, Wang Meng has gained a reputation in North America. The accumulation of several parties has made it famous today.

and……

One of the reports by Scarlett Johnson is even more confusing.

"Yes, "Saw" is very good. Wang is a genius screenwriter and a genius director." Scarlett.

"Ms. Scarlett, do you know Wang?" Remember.

"Of course, we met in Venice last year, earlier than Anne met Wang. It was because I went to chat with Wang that Anne met Wang." Scarlett.

"What do you think of Wang? Is it your relationship with Ms. Anne?" reporter.

"Oh, it's impossible. They are not suitable for both of them. I know Wang too, and I know him earlier than Anne." Scarlett.

The reporter was stunned and asked, "Do you like the king too?"

"Yes, so handsome and so talented, why don't you like it?" Scarlett.

"I'm talking about that kind..." reporter.

"Oh, Mr. Reporter, you're thinking too much, who knows?" Scarlett said ambiguously.

...

After this interview came out, he took Wang Meng ascended directly. Obviously, Scarlett's playful answer was more than all the accumulated reputation Wang Meng had accumulated.

What everyone unexpectedly did not expect was that the next day, Anne Hathaway also spoke on Weibo—

"Wang, I have always been my pride. "Saw" is very good. Although it is an NC-level horror movie, I like it very much. I recommend everyone to watch it. Finally, I want to say, Scarlett, you just said hello before me."

——【Anne Hathaway】

The two beauties seemed to be fighting in such a big fuss.

Hollywood suddenly felt bad.

Many people think this way - if I am not stupid, if I understand it correctly, it is because Anne and Scarlett both seem to like Wang very much.

Thinking about it this way, how can it be!

Hurry up and check out what the so-called "king" is like?

As a result, many websites have collected photos and achievements of Wang Meng.

Well, I'm a little convinced, very handsome, handsome, and talented. He has become a hot figure in China. He is very rich and seems to have assets of nearly $100 million. The most unforgivable thing is that he is still very young.

Damn! Where did the monster come from?

In this way, a behind-the-scenes screenwriter became more popular than both the director and the actor.

Not only that, there is an easter egg at the end of "Saw" and it is Wang Meng's new film "Painted Skin". Everyone who sees it is looking forward to it.

As mentioned before, North American movie fans do not understand "Painted Skin" and rarely know the Chinese system of monsters. But it is not novel to see a fox turn into a beauty?

This is why Wang Meng is now popular.

The same is true in Europe.

As long as the United States becomes popular, they will be interested.

Plus Scarlett Johansen and Anne Hathaway are world-renowned beauties and big stars.

Europe, which is almost the same culture as North America, naturally likes it, which leads to the European "Saw" being equally amazing.

In terms of box office, North America only had $15.26 million, while Europe directly achieved $20 million.

European movie fans and media are also carrying out their behavior of Wang Meng digging graves.

Italy is especially active.

Mark Muller, former chairman of the Venice International Film Festival, was also interviewed.

Mark said: "Wang is a very good director, screenwriter, producer, and I have always admired him. He has created many new categories for the new genres of Chinese films. He is a genius, yes, a genius."

In Europe, the littleest part of Wang Meng's reputation is France. French people are naturally romantic and do not like heavy tastes. If they are top-notch tablets with dew spots, perhaps the French like this. This kind of plasma tablet is not good for the French.

The weekly box office in Europe and the United States reached US$35.26 million, equivalent to RMB 267.8 billion.

Such results scared many domestic movie fans. Look at this, it’s about making money, which is nearly 300 million in a week.

Not only that, in the fifth week of the mainland, "Saw" won 3.21 million yuan, with a total box office of 48.14 million yuan. It is expected to be released for up to two weeks, and it is easy to have a total box office of more than 50 million yuan.

Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan won nearly 4,000 in the first three weeks, and the decline was severe in the fourth week and only achieved less than 6 million. The total box office in the four weeks reached 46 million.

It is expected that Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan will be released for up to one week, and that will reach 50 million at that time, which will reach Wang Meng’s expected box office for the three places.

After all, these areas are not mainland base camps. As long as the box office declines severely and the bottom line of theaters cannot meet the theaters' bottom line, they will be drawn.

The longest film in mainland China can be released for half a year, with 7 weeks at the next time and more than 50 days of release days. But these three places are not good. Wang Meng is very satisfied with the release of "Saw" for five weeks.

Japan's situation is very good. It won a box office of RMB 40 million in the first two weeks, and also reached a box office of RMB 24 million in the third week, with almost no decline in performance, which can be said to be a miracle.

Later, Wang Meng learned that it was the release situation in North America that was learned by the Japanese. When they saw that their godfather liked it, the Japanese didn't care about it at the beginning, they all went to the theater.

After the result came out, everyone agreed. After all, my godfather had agreed, and you dare to say it was not good if you dare to say it.

In just three weeks like this, "Saw" hit a box office of 64 million yuan in Japan, much higher than China.

But South Korea is different. It has won 15 million box office in the first two weeks, but it has dropped severely in the third week, with only less than 3 million, with a total box office of more than 18 million. It is expected that there will be a week of release.

Originally, Wang Meng was expected to reach 25 million, but "Saw" was released in South Korea for only four weeks and achieved a total box office of 20 million yuan.

The biggest reason is that South Korea and China are more similar. They don’t like such bloody films. If "Saw" had not set off such a big name in the world, the box office would have been even less.

Another reason is that several Korean self-produced movies have been released. Koreans with extremely perverted personality naturally go to watch their own movies.

Not to mention DreamWorks' "Saw", even the "Titanic" of Katha is used by the brace to protect his calf, which has been pulled down from the box office list.

The situation in Southeast Asia is similar to that in South Korea, with a total box office of RMB 5,000 in the first two weeks, and only more than 16 million in the third week. In total, it won a box office of RMB 66 million in three weeks, and is expected to be released at most for two weeks or even one week.

Wang Meng predicts that Southeast Asia can reach a maximum of 80 million yuan in total box office and at least 73 million yuan. The expectations have been fulfilled.

In this way, based on the total box office, "Saw" has won a total box office of RMB 510 million.

Compared with the previous life's "Saw", this time it is more well-produced and more popular, and should be able to exceed the total box office of the previous life.

The previous life of "Saw" won a total box office of nearly 900 million yuan worldwide.

It is because the domestic was not classified in the previous life and was not allowed to be released, and there was no publicity in Asia, all relying on strength.

This time, DreamWorks' promotion to Asia is somewhat useful, and with Wang Meng's reputation, how can it win an additional 100 million to 200 million yuan?

So... Wang Meng's requirement for "Saw" is to at least maintain the box office of the previous life, better and further surpass the previous life.

Now it's 500 million. It is expected that North America and Europe will be released for four weeks, and how can it win 60 million US dollars in four weeks? Asia is adding some points, and 1 billion is expected, with the highest order of 900 million yuan.
