Chapter 610 Super 2 is a great success in North America

On the 13th, He Jin flew to the United States and attended the Super II movie press conference under the arrangement of New Line.

Compared with when Su Yi was released, New Line Cinema did not dare to invest large sums of money in publicity.

The promotion of Su Er seems to be much larger.

Starting from the 10th of last month, New Line began a large-scale nationwide promotion of Speed ​​2.

Starring actors such as Andy Lau have appeared on several online TV stations.

Offline, various posters and banners have already appeared everywhere.

Originally, Fast One was already a successful movie and gained a large number of fans in North America.

After a larger-scale promotion by New Line, Super 2 successfully took the top spot on the North American box office list that week with a super high box office of 6 million on its first Monday.

New Line chose the release time very well this time.

Throughout North America, there are almost no blockbuster movies released in October, and only "Get Shorty" released and produced by MGM will be released on the 20th.

Andy Lau is different from He Jin. He Jin's base in North America is in the music scene, and he has a certain fan base.

The status of the main supporting characters in the film is rising.

Furious 2 was released in North America and achieved excellent box office results, which to a certain extent stimulated the film studios in Asia who purchased Furious 3.

He is making money from the movie, and he wants to continue to reap the dividends from the Speed ​​series.

Some people in Xiangjiang even shouted the slogan: "Go to Hollywood and let Americans watch Chinese movies."

Plus Andy Lau who is very close and Louis Koo who is behind him.

The reason why it was sealed is not that the film no longer has a market.

The reason why He Jin sealed it was actually because he wanted to imitate Sony.

Unknowingly, Andy Lau successfully entered the North American market with two films in the Speed ​​series, becoming the most famous actor in North America after Jackie Chan and He Jin.

On the contrary, after Super 2 became a hit at the box office, the market for the Speed ​​series has become higher. Even if the subsequent Super 3 fails at the box office, it will not affect the value of this film.

Although both Speed ​​films received poor reviews from North American film critics.

The success of this series is related to whether it can further enter the North American market.

Of course, all this has nothing to do with He Jin.

Now, Su Er's box office has recovered its original investment and made some profit.

Until the time entered November, the American Christmas season came, including "Toy Story", "GoldenEye", "The American President" and other films were released. Super 2's box office was affected, and it was finally released on November 16th.

The contract they signed with Huaren was for 31 million to win the North American distribution rights for Super 2 and Super 3.

In the second week after Super 2 was released in North America, Japan, Singapore, Malaysia, Taiwan and other places began to promote the release of Super 3, hoping to capitalize on the power of Super 2 in North America to make money.

However, just because He Jin doesn't care doesn't mean that others don't care either.

Therefore, after two days of promoting New Line in the United States, He Jin returned to Hong Kong to continue his album production.

However, the box office hits in the previous few weeks still made Su Er's box office very impressive.

Movies like Fast and Furious still have to be watched in a 3D theater to be exciting.

In addition to Andy Lau, Takeshi Kaneshiro also relied on the hot release of Super 3 in Asia and directly entered Japan and other places, becoming a new generation of male idols.

There is no way, this is the way this era is, a movie can make people fly into the sky, or it can make people plummet.

The film grossed a total of US$772 million in box office in North America, ranking among the top 20 in North America's 1995 box office rankings, temporarily ranking 15th.

He didn't even pay much attention to his new album.

He plans to store the film until the 21st century and wait for breakthroughs in various technologies before filming.

But Andy Lau didn't. He relied on speed and passion to enter North America.

In contrast, He Jin has nothing to do every day, just sitting in the company recording an album.

Except for Chow Yun-fat who has been practicing in seclusion.

Just like Andy Lau, Takeshi Kaneshiro and other main creators of Speed ​​2.

Look at the giant company Sony. As soon as the company suffers a loss, it immediately launches a wave of Spider-Man recovery efforts.

And the fact is as these experts expected. In the second week, Su Er's box office figures increased instead of falling. With a box office figure of 18.65 million, it beat the 12 million "Little Man", once again

Remaining the weekly box office champion.

Therefore, for now, this movie series is definitely the most valuable project in Huaren's hands, bar none.

Okay! This is purely an illusion.

Among them, Andy Lau has been promoting Su 2 and Su 3 2 since last month, and there was almost no pause in between.

Unfortunately, He Jin has already planned to temporarily seal the speed series.

Therefore, after the movie was released, New Line's Jerry Steen personally called He Jin, who had returned to Hong Kong, and told He Jin to hurry up and shoot Furious 4, hoping to film it after Furious 3 is released in North America next year.

Of course, people who rise when the tide lifts all boats must have some power.

The success of the speed series naturally means it will fly upwards.

Su Er's success in North America has finally made his status in Hong Kong and other places comparable to Double One and Jet Li.

But it can’t stand up to the high box office and high popularity!

He signed buyout contracts with these film buyers, and he had nothing to do with whether subsequent films failed at the box office.

After the success in North America was fed back to Asia, Andy Lau's status rose to a higher level.

The subsequent Super 3 games were basically free money for them.

Become one of the top five leaders in the Hong Kong film industry.

And his efforts were successfully rewarded.

Almost all the starring actors in the entire series reaped the dividends of this movie.

In the fourth week, the box office data of 9 million continued to lead the way.

There is only one enemy and it is a feature film, which has led New Line and North American media to say that October may belong to the Fast and Furious 2 movie.

He ran a dozen promotions in the United States last month just to increase the box office for Super 2.

The entire Xiangjiang film market seems extremely hot.

The box office success of Su 2 makes New Line Cinema extremely happy.



Although the speed series cannot be as good as Spider-Man, there is no doubt that this will be one of Huaren's important bargaining chips.

Some experts predict that the final box office of the movie Speed ​​2 may exceed that of the first movie, reaching around 60 million.

The box office fell back in the third week, earning 14 million, continuing to lead the box office rankings with a difference of 500,000.

With explosive box office results, good public impression, and high qualifications, Liu Tianwang immediately rose to become a leading figure among Hong Kong film actors.

Except for Jackie Chan and Jet Li, who are in a league of their own, other people in the current Hong Kong film industry, such as Stephen Chow, who has not done well this year, and Chow Yun-fat, who has been practicing in seclusion, have to stay away from the limelight for the time being.

The success of two consecutive Fast and Furious movies in North America has made many people feel that breaking into Hollywood is not that difficult.

Even Stephen Chow and Jet Li called to ask He Jin about Hollywood.

They are excited and want to enter Hollywood like He Jin and Andy Lau.

What can He Jin say about this except, "Come on!"

Breaking into Hollywood is not easy. In the past life in China, only Jackie Chan became a world superstar and Jet Li became a second-tier star. As for Fa Ge, he may not even be a third-tier star.
