Chapter 357: This summer has just begun


The day after the full release of "Kung Fu Panda", the dB score was too high. The freshness of rotten tomatoes has become 92% /%, and the audience likes 87%. It has withstood the test of the public screening and is still a classic that has a good reputation.
Its former box office was not shocked, but it was by no means a failure. The average number of 3651 theaters was 6,561 each, totaling tens of thousands, and won an unsustainable Friday champion. The second "Ghost Monster" was only 5.759 million. . Kung Fu Panda ’s opening day performance ranks first in the p-class movie so far this year. The box office is expected to exceed US $ 10,000 on the three-day weekend, which means that it can enter the inflation-adjusted history of the film ’s opening weekend in May. The top ten.
"The Kung Fu heat wave hit, Panda Abao became the new darling of the market."-"Los Angeles Times". "Kung Fu Panda" has been screened in North America, and it has also appeared on the screens of Ukraine, Russia, Lithuania, Singapore, Malaysia, South Korea, and the Philippines. They all have a good performance. Within this, this Chinese style will blow into the global cinema, including China on May 27, Taiwan, Hong Kong on June 3, France on June 23, Japan on June 24 and so on.
Although "Kung Fu Panda" has been well received and the content theme is inspiring, the resistance dispute in mainland China continues. As the veil of the story content is unveiled, new political metaphors, satire and insults and other reasons for resistance surfaced. It seems that the previous "Chinese market" and "making money" are no longer the main directions.
Flame Blue Sky spent three years producing more than US $ 100 million in production fees, risking innovative business risks, and heavily invested in a gorgeous voice lineup. On the one hand, it wanted to earn Chinese money; on the other hand, it was sinister. , Brainstorming metaphorical satire, greatly increasing the unnecessary risk of angering the Chinese and leading to a series of bad results, even unable to pass the censorship of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, and produced a large number of audiences all over the world who enjoyed it, and part of it was
wise. The Chinese viewers see through the sinister content of its sinister nature.
A film company has paid such a large risk, and made a "gift" for a certain market, but this gift is a dilemma, just because the market is not pleasing to the eye! That's really too much for Hollywood, which is mainly commercial, and too much for yourself.
In fact, the box office evaluation of the three sides of China's two sides of the strait was not high at the time of the Flame Film Office. In addition to the current boycott reaction in the mainland, the sum of 10,000 US dollars can be received, which is very, very good.
Now Wang Yang feels that the Ministry of Commerce ’s assessment is a little optimistic. The 8-year DreamWorks version of "Kung Fu Panda" only has a total box office of US $ 10,000 in the three places on both sides of China, 20,000 in the Mainland, 4.164 million in Hong Kong Mountain, and 3.851 million in Taiwan. "Kung Fu Panda" set off a movie watching boom in the three places, but the market potential at that time was like this. DreamWorks gave it a production cost of 100 million US dollars.
It was 8 years, and now it is 5 years. The box office market growth in Mainland China is very amazing every year. It also shows that the time difference of three years is enough to make "Kung Fu Panda" not reach 10,000 US dollars. It is similar to Hong Kong and Taiwan where the market is mature. .
In this way, the final box office of "Kung Fu Panda" in the three places on both sides of the strait is likely to be only ten thousand. The share of flame and the mainland party China Film Group is%:%, while the share of the mainland cinema and merchants for Hollywood blockbuster is usually 57% : 43%, that is to say, 43% before tax and 340% after tax, is the one allocated to the flame movie, and madly earned an unwise audience of 3.44 million dollars from mainland China.
However, the net profit of later sales such as dVd in Mainland China is almost negligible; the surrounding toys seem to have some heads, but they are not high. If the flames and blue skies were made out of what a disgusting and disgusting production of "Kung Fu Panda", intentionally disgusting Chinese audience, why? However, although the mainland market does not provide much profit at present, Flame has indeed taken a fancy to the Chinese market and Asian pawns. You should know that the sales links in Hong Kong, Taiwan, South Korea, Japan and other places are mature.
In any case, "Kung Fu Panda" is a sincere love letter, and it is also a rush to the beach 6, Wang Yang is not clear about DreamWorks' full intentions, but he is absolutely sure that the flame & p; Blue Sky will not make that kind of self-contradiction and form self-interest I have never thought about the stupid thing of conflict.
"The news is not good or bad, it is just news." Master Turtle said. The reason why the news is good or bad is that the angle of the person who chooses to view the news is determined by the heart's heart. The person thinks that the thing is good or bad ... "The child saw the lovely Abao, and the adult saw the image of a fat and greedy panda. China; children saw an encouraging story of pursuing their dreams and defeating bad guys, and adults saw an evil story full of political metaphors and delusions ...
Seeing a new round of resistance on the Chinese network, Wang Yang could not help but sigh, maybe "Firefly" will also be misinterpreted as not knowing what, the intention he wants to express and the mood he pursues will be splashed with black water, but all this Isn't that what Firefly wanted to say?
The North American Week champion on May 13-19 can basically be determined to belong to "Kung Fu Panda". "Star Wars Episode 3", which is only released one day this week, should not be a lethal threat to it but on the side of Cannes, France ... "15 The number has officially entered "Star Wars Day".
"Lucas! Lucas! Lucas!" At this time, the crowds in the Lumiere Hall of the Cinema Palace were crowded. Tens of thousands of Star Wars fans gathered here clapped their hands and shouted in unison. The idol's name, the voice was heated: "Lucas! Lucas!
The long red carpet separated by railings is also very lively. This time, the propaganda of Star Wars Episode 3 includes not only Lucas, Natalie-Portman, Hayden Christensen, Samuel Jackson And several Hollywood stars who came to help; the clone army of the "Galaxy Empire" also appeared. Under the command of the black warrior Das-Vida, the clone army lined up on both sides to stay in wait, living as a red carpet security team .
The stars were shining and the flashes were constant. The attending guests and photojournalists were busy with each other. The large screens on both sides of the movie palace captured these pictures, attracting the fans to burst, and the scene of the father and the black warrior waving hand side by side made them completely Falling into madness, clapping hands and shouting neatly.
"Firefly" is very low-key and mysterious in Cannes this year. In fact, it is not in the list of special exhibitions at all. It is just a tourist who rides the ride of "Kung Fu Panda". It is said that the security staff can put "I am Come to join in the lively "Wang Yang lifted up and threw it to the beach. Of course, the organizers did not do that, but they gladly arranged a news conference for "Firefly" for them to be interviewed, and also posted some posters of "Firefly".
In contrast, "Star Wars Episode 3" is too big. As early as the first day of the movie, the overwhelming posters have announced that Cannes belongs to Star Wars this year. Almost every store in the ntb street near the Promenade has a star War is related, buy a mobile phone and give a Star Wars color shell, buy a dress and give a Star Wars T-shirt, buy furniture and give a Star Wars model, buy jewelry and give a Star Wars player ... There are various kinds of water glasses, stationery, stickers, leather goods, etc. There are so many peripheral products. George-Lucas seems to have moved the Star Wars warehouse to Cannes.
The number of people watching the Red Carpet Show has always been a measure of the popularity of a film. "Pre-Star Wars 3" has become the king of popularity this year. Every night, you can see the "npt-Tkt-ntd ( "Red carpet tickets)" fans of the brand, they walked in twos and threes among the tourists who shuttled between them; and today's "Star Wars Episode 3" exhibition day is approaching, the crowd at the gate of the movie palace all became Star Wars fans in an instant.
Someone held a card early in the morning to try their luck. Some people wrote directly on the card "I will sell the euro, who sells it?", And some people changed the formal dress first, and waited for the ticket to go to the other side of Lumiere. Red carpet show in the hall.
Although they often frustrated and returned, the crowd was still endless, so that the organizers of the festival needed to ask the police inspection department to cooperate, and the police sent a number of personnel to maintain law and order for this grand screening. However, just after four o'clock in the afternoon, dozens of police cars lined up along the promenade quickly submerged in a crowd of thousands of kilometers. Any car can only move slowly like a snail. Walking from side to side was as difficult as Normandy 6.
In order to ensure that the guest convoy can arrive on time and let the screening start smoothly, the police had to impose temporary martial law on the promenade, and now there is a lively scene ... "Lucas! Lucas!" The voice spread far.
"Huh! Why are you here?" The movie palace over there is a sea of ​​boiling water, the beach scenery on the side is beautiful. Women's Tmall Taobao Mall Taobao.com Women's winter coat m, the afternoon is close to the evening. The sun is soft and warm The tourists on the sand either walk around or lie on the carpet, and the thin girls are very seductive. At this time of year, many beauties will come to Cannes to try their luck, and look forward to which scout or production director will bring them into the film industry. Wang Yang did not have a ticket to the "Star Wars Episode 3" screening and came to the beach. Stroll around.
However, the enemy has a narrow road, and did not meet the future Catherine Hepburn, nor Audrey Hepburn. Instead, she appeared in Paris Hilton, and her new film "Feng Yun Nu" also came to the Fenna Film Festival for promotion, although it was not even a competition. Some of them are not shortlisted, but because of her, they have received a lot of media attention. It is a comedy film with an unknown investment quota, produced by a global entertainment company.
If Wang Yang brought the fireflies together, the media reporters wanted to get more of it, but he did n’t give it; Paris Hilton also came to join the fun, she wanted to give many, many, to seduce the media reporters Eyeballs.
However, she made a joke at the publicity meeting of "Fengyun Girl" on the 13th. At that time, Paris was expressing to the media that she had the intention to change the bold image of the style. She said: "I already have a hotel of my own brand. Will strive to develop it into a new boutique, which can be a competitor to the Hilton Hotel. Now I am like a business woman, go to work and work every day, basically no nightlife, I really changed. Although I grew up beautiful, It ’s smart and rich, but it ’s not my fault. I hope you do n’t hate me for it.

As she continued to show her career ambitions, an Argentine journalist suddenly asked her questions about the videotape, suddenly leaving Paris with a blank expression, and she spoke more secretly, but unexpectedly came out of the microphone: "Fuk!" So she simply To respond with a swear word, the speed of change is staggering. In addition, according to gossip media reports, on the evening of the 13th, Paris, who was determined to change during the day, was now partying with friends on the sailboat and drinking until 2 a.m.
On the soft beach, looking at Wang Yang, who was alone, Paris Hilton stopped for a group of people. Several women did not speak to the class. Looking at his smile, Paris felt congested and could n’t help but deep. Taking a breath, I don't know why, every time she meets Wang Yang, she hates her teeth, and the humiliation he brings to her will not be forgotten! This low-heeled man must be thinking about the video now, he must have seen it and he must have laughed ...
"Yes! I'm here." Wang Yang smiled and shrugged. Although he didn't want to deal with her, he didn't leave directly. Bi
This is actually a courtesy.
Paris did n’t seem to mean to end the conversation. She asked with her lips closed:
Your movie, what ... what ’s the name?
She looked at the left and right followers interrogatively, and reminded
Firefly
, She screamed: "I'm really busy recently! But who can blame? I can't even see a poster of it here. If it looks like" Star Wars ", I must remember it!" She laughed at herself with laughter: "Our" Feng Yun Nu "is already a supporting role, it ... well, what is yours, uh ... Is" Firefly "done?"
Wang Yang stared straight at her eyes from beginning to end, just like watching a monkey play, waiting for her to say: "It's done." Paris with a half-eyed smile then smiled: "Wish you fail! Ha Haha! "Several beauties and classmates laughed one after another. There were resolute laughs with Paris and others, and there was also a chuckle that didn't want to completely offend the big director monopoly. For their boring tricks, Wang Yang inevitably wants to laugh, which is really vulgar idiot! He said: "I won't, goodbye."
"Wait!" Paris shouted Wang Yang, who was away, again with a teasing expression: "I'm going to have a party tonight. Can we come after the party?" Just for him, but she did There was a flash of hope that he would say "Okay!", Wang Yang's voice was neat: "n" Paris looked at him up and down: "I have always had a problem." She leaned closer, the lowered voice was just right Everyone around you can hear: "Are you powerless?"
"Look at who the other person is, if it's ..." Wang Yang glanced up and down at her, frowning and whispering, "No, thank you." Under Paris' fierce gaze, he turned again I glanced at the female classmates for a few moments, and then murmured to the black latin woman who had just laughed the most, staring at the guy fiercely and blinking at her, but only the voice that Paris Hilton could hear : "But she is very beautiful.
After all, Wang Yang no longer ignored the women and walked straight away. When he turned his back on them, he smiled and threw out his tongue. The contradiction has been planted. Argue according to the director's arrangement! tn! You don't need to be polite to deal with some people.
"Fuk!" Paris stomped and glanced at her good friend, knowing that Wang Yang was provoked or still furious. Why are there so many women here, he just wanted her to anger her? This guy is grabbing her limelight more and more! prostitute! "Paris, what did he say?" She couldn't help but fire: "He said to die!"
The ending of "Star Wars Episode 3" made many fans who participated in the screening choked with tears, and Anakin Skywalker eventually turned into a black warrior. The "Star Wars" series also came to an end, and many fans even Wept bitterly; and film critics gave thumbs up "rarely". The prequel first "Threat of the Ghost" rotten tomato freshness was 61% /%, "The Attack of the Clones" 61% /%, and this The "Revenge of the Sith" finally has some depth and breaks away from the category of children's play! George Lucas did not become the second Ridley Scott this summer.
"Hi, Natalie!", "Hi, Yang! How are you doing?"
Cannes is just a small town with a resident population of about 70,000 people. The seaside promenade and the movie palace are so big. It is not a strange thing that the two met. However, on the 17th, she will also attend the screening of another film "Free Zone" starring.
"Hahaha! Haha ..." The gate of the movie palace is not deserted. There are tourists and journalists everywhere. Wang Yang caressed Natalie's bald head without any doubt. His palms felt a slight burr. He Laughing: "Haha! It feels good!" Natalie opened her mouth with her mouth wide open and laughed: "You cut one too! It's cool!" Wang Yang rubbed hard: "Ah-this is smart and funny Head! "
Notice that the two photographers hurriedly lifted the camera and snapped this intimate scene. In fact, Natalie Portman ’s bald head is now everyone ’s love. Everyone wants to try their hand. Yesterday At the premiere of "Star Wars Episode 3", George Lucas touched her head in public, but that was a 61-year-old elder, Hayden Christensen would not dare to rub her like this. My head, a magical party! Natalie also reached out and rubbed his head on tiptoe! The photojournalists happily pressed the camera madly, it was so wonderful!
It was a pity that the two of them rubbed each other and walked into the movie palace with a smile. They did n’t know that Wang Yang had to ask Natalie because of some serious matters. The two came to the cafe by the way and drank The coffee started talking.
"Isn't the Black Warrior right?" Wang Yang looked at the seats around him, his tone was quite scared: "I don't want to be beaten up." Natalie squinted him contemptuously and said very seriously: "You You can kill him with kung fu! "She remembered how shocking the scene was yesterday. Everyone kept shouting" Lucas, Lucas ... "She wanted George-Lucasnu when the" Star Wars "was released in 1977 33 years old, now he is 25 years old, is it okay?
"You are right." Wang Yang thought about what, and killed the black warrior with kung fu? In any case, at least have the courage to fight! He raised his coffee cup and drank. , Laughing: "I watched" Star Wars Episode 3 "this morning, and you shouldn't take Jin Shui Mei this time."
Both of them suddenly chuckled, and she has already won three golden plum nominations based on "The Threat of Spectre" and "The Attack of the Clone". Natalie shook her head and sighed, "It's really unfair. Your" Firefly "has all been completed, why not just do an exhibition? I really want to watch" Firefly ", you have hung my appetite for too long!
Cowboys and Eastern elements, the poems you say, your fights, the whole story, your messy freedom, the beautiful world ... "She counted suddenly:" It's been a few years! "
Wang Yang nodded and said, "It's all inside." Natalie drank. Coffee, looked at him and laughed: "Well, that's good! What kind of world is a beautiful world! My answer is now, a world full of love!" Wang Yang smiled and thumbs up: "Good answer! But not What you are about to see. "Natalie said k, then wait to watch! She changed the subject: "Is Jessica good lately?" Wang Yang smiled brightly when she mentioned his wife and baby: "Good!"
"You have to pay attention, pregnant women's emotional changes are very complicated, we don't want to sit so close." Natalie moved back, she seemed to be away from something, still moving on the chair. Wang Yang felt less exaggerated and smiled: "It's nothing, Jessica is not that kind of tempered woman, and I take care of her very well." Natalie sighed silently: "That's pregnant! You should Knowing that she ca n’t think of pregnant women with common sense, many times she ca n’t control herself, it ’s a kind of expression, usually impatient, she will endure, and now she will be irritable; ? "
The biggest change? Wang Yang scratched his head, do you particularly like sweets? He thought to himself, "I like to eat sweets, I eat a lot every day! And ... Yes! Become more narcissistic and smellier." Suddenly he wanted to wear a wedding dress to show him; suddenly bought a lot of maternity skirts He came back to try on them one by one, and asked him to evaluate them one by one. It was rarely the case before. He continued: "Look at the mirror all day, take a tape measure to measure your waistline, pay attention to the change of your body ... this should be the most obvious. He knew this already: "She was a little afraid of becoming ugly.
"Pregnant women will have anxiety in this regard. Jessica will have a lot of things. Her confidence is built from ugly to beautiful. No one would want to change it back. That means losing everything now."
Natalie's expression and tone are very calm and serious, quite a psychologist style. Wang Yang was also serious: "But I really don't mind, I love her and her baby." Natalie drank. Bitter coffee, give him advice: "Something to say, you will praise her beautiful when you have a chance! Show a love for her body changes, make her feel that she is a more charming woman! Be serious Do n’t kidding me, you ’re so fat as a planet so cute ...
She ’s not Juno or me. Natalie smiled: "You can't stop praising, she will be in a good mood, and your baby will be in a good mood." "
"That's how I did it." Wang Yang recalled that he had done a good job and couldn't help laughing: "I kiss her a lot every day." Natalie nodded in satisfaction and raised her hand: " k, that's good! What are you serious about? "
Wang Yang looked around mysteriously and pressed his voice: "I'm waiting for a new movie plan, which will start shooting in August, about one month, and the Christmas file will be released at the end of the year." Liang: "So ..." Wang Yang really invited me: "I need a heroine here, are you interested in acting." Natalie laughed, and praised Mike Nichols for her role. I nodded happily without thinking: "Of course, I am your fan!"
"D.!" Wang Yang happily lifted the coffee cup and respected her: "The big problem is solved like this!" Natalie asked enthusiastically: "What kind of movie is that? What story?" Wang Yang took a sip of coffee and said, "Remember last year's sht? Didn't you ask me to shoot the type of love?" Natalie seemed to see something terrifying, and her eyes widened huodi: "You really want to shoot love ? What a joke ... "
Wang Yang said that he was not jokingly shrugging his shoulders, and said with a smile: "True shot! That's what we said at the time, as well as some other ~ EbookFREE.me ~ My recent insights." Now Natalie's interest is greater: "What girl am I going to play?" Wang Yang was a bit irritated: "What else? Personalized girl, but not this kind of bald." ...
