Chapter 467: Hard hit!

In imd
Online, the battle of the p-250 list is carried out every day. After more than half a year, the best Oscar best film "Firefly" still ranks first with 9.3 points. Both "The Godfather" and "The Redemption of Shawshank" It is 9.1 points. Due to the strong momentum of "Firefly", 216 North American theaters are preparing to put it on the big screen again on the new weekend of March 10, collecting tickets for omissions and revisiters. According to the past situation, it is expected to receive another 1 million Box office above US dollars.
Ten directed films, nine Oscar nominations, five Oscar trophies, two best directors, 26-year-old and one-month Wang Yang reached the height of an unprecedented and difficult to come by. [..

Paramount and the crew of "Magic Director" have reason to be very happy. This year's popularity of Pokémon has reached a new peak! Going to the streets and casually pulling a young man to ask, what kind of "skin" ethnicity is good, there is no one who does not know Magic Yang, this film was launched at the right time. For the biggest problem, "Magic Young Actor Candidate", the crew has auditioned a few pretty young Chinese newcomers. Scott Rudin can't hide his excitement and bluntly said "Everything went unexpectedly smoothly." The film is expected to be released at the end of this year .
But it seems that something went wrong. The US version of Infernal Affairs is scheduled for the end of this year ...
"Magic Director" naturally attracts the attention and expectation of "fans" fans, Wang Yang's third science fiction film "I am a Legend", and the US version of "Infernal Affairs", which was filmed at the same time, are more concerned and expected, especially in his "talk" "after that! The latter impacts the 79th Oscar next year! Best film, best director, best actor ...
"Success inevitably stunned his mind.", "The legend started in 2006, and the legend ended in 2007?" Miracle Yang's ambition and ambition could not escape being teased and even mocked by those media who have always been arrogant. I found a breakthrough: "Stupid!" It will be three years from "The Ninth Zone" to "Firefly". This time, he won two big prizes. This guy was really dizzy with joy! The American version of Infernal Affairs scored Oscar for the second consecutive year? Uh, not many people have seen the Hong Kong version of Infernal Affairs. Anyway, it's a story of a policeman undercover.
But they know the key point, not to mention winning the director's award, it is not possible to win the finals again!
There have only been two consecutive awards in history, John Ford, the 13th "Grapes of Wrath" in 1941, the 14th "Green Hill", and Joseph-l-Mankevic, the 22nd "Triple Wife" in 1950 Yanshi "· The 23rd" Comet Beauty ", but those are all about the old Huangli calendar of the last century. At that time, there were only a few big studios. What now? Times have long been different. The 26-year-old holding two awards broke that little hope, because the awards were made by people, not by automatic scoring machines. No matter how good the movie is, people do n’t vote or use it for free. There is no new succession in 55 years. reason.
Of course, there are still theoretical opportunities. Yang fans all think so, because it is the people who judge the awards. Have n’t science fiction films ever received the best film and best director? Magic Yang is dedicated to creating legends and miracles! He already has so many amazing things, what's wrong with the next one?
Let ’s talk about winning the finals again. Entering the 1980s, only Steven Spielberg (1982 "Avatar" · "Alien et"), Robert Altman (1993 "Big Player" "·" Ukiyo Men and Women "), Ridley Scott (2001" Gladiator "·" Black Hawk Fall "), Clint Eastwood (2004" Mysterious River "· Year "Million Dollar Baby" four times.
It appears once in an average of 6.5 years. Yang fans think that there is no problem, they are almost disdainful, and the difficulty is too low! Is this insulting Miracle Yang? If you want to play, play for three consecutive years, and next year is just the beginning! The American version of Infernal Affairs and I am Legend are just right. I believe that Miracle Young will say after the Oscars next year: "I will continue to come next year!"
The Yang Hei felt that they could be ridiculed. Continuous shortlisting is an encounter and an unquestionable one. Spielberg is a continuous phenomenon-level film, Ultraman literary film, Scott is qualified, Eastwood literary film, and Wang Yang has never made a gangster crime movie. His literary and artistic films have always been sunny and positive, but he has never been to the Oscars. It must be serious how the dark and beautiful American version of Infernal Affairs was filmed. In short, Wang Yang cannot easily be nominated Moreover, it is "simultaneous shooting", which means that the difficulty is doubled ...
When there is a peak, there is a downhill road and there is a trough. They don't believe that this guy can maintain his state forever! At the end of the year, he will be able to see his embarrassing expression, and when "Magic Director" is also released, it is a wonderful irony. Thinking of these good things, Yang Hei men are overjoyed.
"Damn it!" Scott Ruding had a headache, and David Finch was a lot of melancholy. Isn't this Wang Yang's action against "Magic Director"? It has long been known that he will not be indifferent! The American version of Infernal Affairs is scheduled to be released worldwide on December 22.
It is worth mentioning that the drama "Blood Diamond" (Warner Bros.) directed by Graham Gold, Martin Scorsese and starring Leonardo DiCaprio is being filmed in South Africa. It is the third collaboration after the "New York Gangs". It is known as one of the highlights of the 06-07 award season.
This is not a separate announcement. The Oscar winner Flame Movie has recently announced a series of future film releases! This caused media to scramble to report, fans of "fans" to scramble for related notes, and filmmakers scramble to fright!
The "Magic" bought from Sundance at a high price is scheduled for September 15th, and the file already has "Revival of the Ball" (Colombia) starring Dawn Johnson (Sweden) and Scarlett Johansson's "Black" "Dahlia" (Universal) and other films; "The Chainsaw 4" naturally continues on Halloween on October 27, and there are no opponents. Other large-scale new films will be released in advance or after; "Sunshine Beauty" November 10 The small-scale landing on the screen began on the day; "Fatal Magic" is scheduled for December 1, and the file has a new line of "The Birth of Jesus" with high hopes.
But it is not them that are more striking, but many heavy plans for the Flame movie next year.
"Green Hornet" is scheduled to be released on March 16th. The file includes the second week of "Spartan 300 Warriors" (Warner), and next week there will be "Ninja Turtles", "Life and Death Sniper" and other films. , "Green Hornet" won the first week championship is no problem; the more anticipated "Iron Man" is scheduled for June 1, when it is definitely a lively summer vacation, the next week's "Pirates of the Caribbean 3", next week's "Thirteen Arhats" and other films are its biggest enemies to achieve good results; "Assassin League 2" is scheduled for the end of the summer vacation on July 27. The comedy animation "The Simpsons" with a cost budget of 75 million is that week. 110 million "Spy 3", next week there are 140 million "Peak Time 3" and other hot action films to fight it, it seems that no one is annoying.
But these still seem to be the second, the newest Pokémon's sci-fi works are the most concerned, "I am a Legend" will be released on July 6, 2007, and will be released worldwide!
Although everyone knew that "I am a Legend" will definitely capture a certain month of tomorrow summer, May, June, and July are possible, but when the news is determined, July will still be suddenly cloudy like a clear sky, The storm is coming. Some people are happy and some are worried. After four weeks of super firefights in Firefly, everyone knows that if you want to win the first week of the new film, you absolutely must avoid Wang Yang ’s big production, not to mention this return. There is "box office bomb reel" Will Smith!
Fantastic Young + Smith + Science Fiction + Good Movie = Nuclear Reel! Companies that are not in the "radiation" area of ​​nuclear radiation can't help but cheer and celebrate, but the people in the "radiation" area of ​​the radiation are full of worries.
110 million budget "Tiger gallbladder 4" (Fox) released on June 27, 150 million production budget cartoon "ratatouille" (Disney
Bona) will be released on June 29, which is not the most serious. After all, it was last week (6-29 to 7-5). "I am a Legend" won't win this week's championship no matter how powerful it is; scheduled for July The 11th "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" (150 million budget) does not seem to need to worry, especially the senior executives who know the style of "I am a Legend" are not panicking at all.
Let ’s not talk about Harry ’s super popularity, but it ’s a big deal. I have no chance to try my luck on July 6-12. Now that there is no chance for Magic Young to join, I will postpone the two days and return to Friday to make sure that the firepower is enough to win July. Weekends and week champions on the 13th and 19th, is there any storm in the second week of "I Am Legend"?
So the most dilemma is the sci-fi masterpiece "Transformers" (Paramount & DreamWorks), which is about to start shooting in May and is scheduled to be released on July 3 next year. Originally, there was only one blockbuster in the 27th week of 2007, although the director -Bei completely messed up "Escape from the Clone Island", but with the huge popularity of the "Transformers" toys and cartoons, as long as the popcorn with special effects, explosions, scenes, hot vases to feed the audience, Zhou The champion is within reach. "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" is not cheap. On the contrary, it is likely to pick up the cheapness of the 26th week.
Now "I am a Legend" has entered the 27th week, and the situation is suddenly changing! If Ratatouille and Tiger 4 are not so weak, and "I am a Legend" has not encountered Waterloo, then "Transformers" will become unhappy for two weeks, and it is very likely that a champion will not be able to get it in the end. .
So either retreat to the No. 6 screening and fight against "I Am Legend" to fight for the championship of the 27th week; or continue on the No. 3 landing screen to try your luck, two options! Paramount must make a decision.
The media fans have always only cared about the champion. No one cares about who is the runner-up. The lack of the title has a great impact on the subsequent box office. This is the situation that Paramount is most unwilling to see. Moreover, the production budget of Transformers is as high as 150 million. The popularity of these robots is incredible. Since the official launch of this project, the expectations and attention of global movie fans have been extraordinary. Paramount & DreamWorks leaders We know it will succeed, a huge success! They even talked about the future plans of "Transformers 2" and "Transformers 3" several times.
Wang Yang is not easy to provoke; Optimus Prime, Megatron, Bumblebee and other Transformers are also not easy to provoke! Is his fist hard or the fist of giant steel?
"Even what happened to Wang Yang? We don't necessarily lose." Producer Don Murphy and director Michael Bay are full of confidence, and the boss and producer Spielberg also tend to fight one more time. Last year's "World War" "The loss is too sullen. There is still a lot of time to consider, but Paramount has almost decided to fight! If you do not withdraw it, you will lose in Week 27; it is not necessary to come back and fight, if "Transformers" drops the magic! ! ! That is ...
From "When Happiness Comes Knocking on the Door", all seven films he directed can win the first-week box office championship! Was someone punched face to face in a lively summer? The end of the magical video is naturally even more amazing!
Taking a step back and saying that the box office battle is attractive enough, if you lose it, it can also cause many news reports, which is better than dying in obscurity. What's more, "I'm Legend" is a "boring" project with one or two actors and no popcorn. If it weren't for Magic Young and Smith, it would be a dead one. Paramount really couldn't find a reason to flinch.
Since it was "Transformers" first set, it was preempted. According to the rules of the rivers and lakes, the "I am a Legend" that rushed up was quite provocative, but when asked by the media in time, the flame film spokesman Voona Hasen was very calm To emphasize: "The summer schedule is always so tight. From May to August next year, there will be a new film with a budget of over 100 million almost every week. The flame is just maintaining its own rhythm and not selecting opponents."
In fact, the generals inside the flame movie do n’t know, Wang Yang really chose, he is choosing to play with Transformers!
If the post-production is successful, "I am Legend" can be painted in June, and after being separated from "Iron Man" for two weeks, the 24th week of "Fantastic Four 2" (77.45 million in the first week, cost 130 million) , "Fake God 2" in Week 25 (45.53 million in the first week, 175 million in cost), "Transformers" (84.9 million) released in three days in Week 26, "Rat King" (80.51 million in the first week), " Tiger Gallant 4 (51.66 million) is a powerless opponent. The first week of the wb version of "I Am Legend" in the Christmas file was 103 million (week 50 December 14-20), but he chose the 27th week. , The original "Transformers" won the weekly championship with 102 million.
186 million in 10 days, 156.5 million in the first 7 days at the box office! "Transformers" is very powerful, if it puts the premiere day on Friday, focusing on firepower to attack the opening week, the first 7 days at the box office may exceed 160 million, of course, if there is no "I am Legend" as an opponent.
Who will win the first week? Wang Yang did n’t know, he just wanted to know. Robert Zemigis was very right. When his passion gradually lost, he had to find more fun and excitement for himself, and then he would have greater enthusiasm when working! Powerful opponents are great fun. Type commercials vs. the most typical summer popcorn, loneliness vs. hilariousness, dogs vs. bumblebees, no women vs. Megan Fox, he is a real good director.
"Hahahaha!" There was a burst of laughter in the conference room, sitting in the "chairman" under the slightly suspicious eyes of Mark Srant, Chris Ball, Simon Willis and others. Wang Yang in the position smiled and shrugged. With a snap, he closed the screening table in his hand and smiled: "Are we still afraid of anyone? Please! I think the flames just keep their rhythm. There will be opponents, just on July 6, 2007! "
So the opening day of "I Am Legend" in North America was set like this. No one knew that Pokémon was just for fun, but it caused headaches for several Paramount leaders.
It is clear that the two films have not yet been started, and it is unknown whether they can be produced as scheduled and released on schedule. For this box office battle that is very likely to happen, senior movie fans will already be on imd
The discussion in the forum community was in full swing.
No one cares about Michael Bay, Paramount asked him to direct, it means that "Transformers" must be a pure popcorn commercial blockbuster ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Don't say what the content is deep, the plot and details are always mentally retarded There is no difference in finding directors like Stephen Somers, Brian Singh, Joe Cannahan, etc., even better or worse than him. In any case, the movie "fans" sometimes just like the "stupid fun" of drunk and adrenaline rush, especially this is Transformers!
This is the key, Magic Yang vs Transformers! Debbie-c said: "my will win! I will go to the movie" ial "for the first time, not a bunch of blasts." Joy-l said: "Sorry for the magical Yang, I will watch" Transformers "first "Look at" I am Legend "and look forward to the live-action movie version for too long." Aaron-f also said: "The Autobot grew up with me, I am a big fan, so I will go watch it first," I am "Legend" wait for the next week. "
Jason-g said: "I think" Transformers "will have a stupid story, good special effects and action scenes. It ’s great to watch the first time, and boring the second time, but you still have to watch the first time. "Huff-t said:" Of course, Magic Yang, watching his movie is a pleasure! "Alicia said:" Wang Yang = great movie, Michael Bay = noisy, you can not sleep in the screening room Good sleep. "Brandon-s also supported Wang Yang:" Who is coming? Oh, Optimus Prime, are you going to watch "I Am Legend"? "...
Regardless of whether "Transformers" is released on the 3rd or 6th, there will be a fierce battle in the 27th week of 2007. (To be continued)
