After the conclusion of the 2nd Beijing International Film Festival, the global battle of "Avengers" officially begins...
Everyone is looking forward to the release of the movie and how powerful this movie that has been in preparation for three years will be at the box office. Shao Shuaijun is also looking forward to it.
However, he will be very busy again.
Scripts from four major fantasy series were sent to his home in piles.
Xu Zhuo and Huang Bo also came to the door. Six years ago, the movie "People on the Road to Thailand" made countless people laugh. Six years later, Xu Zou brought his carefully prepared script of "People on the Road to Thailand: Lost in Thailand" again.
Found Shao Shuaijun.
That year, Shao Shuaijun helped Xu Zheng make the film "A Man on the Road". Later, Xu Zheng continued to work in film and television. Within a few years, he started to tinker with movies on his own, but the movie was a mess, so he took a break for several years.
Try the career of film director.
Now, Xu Zheng, who feels that he has tempered enough, finally plans to return to the world of martial arts.
"Old Xu, this script is good. Let me improve it for you. You can gather the crew now. Are you starring together with Huang Bo and Bao Qiang?" Shao Shuaijun asked, holding up the still immature script.
"Yeah, Huang Bo and I are old partners. Now Huang Bo is a big star in film, television, singing and singing. The salary I asked for is really high. If he hadn't been a bit famous, I wouldn't have wanted to hire him." Xu Zheng said in a funny way.
.
Huang Bo twisted his neck: "Old Xu, you are not honest. I also participated in the book. You take the credit. Did you also say the sarcastic remarks?"
We are all old friends and often quarrel.
"I'll polish the book first. The story is very good, and if it's publicized, it will definitely sell well." Shao Shuaijun ignored the two people's playfulness.
Xu Zhuo stretched out his head and said: "Ajun, how about you come in and make a guest appearance? Lend me some fame. I'm still a little worried about returning to the world this time."
"No, my drama addiction is over in "Oldboy". Let's do this. You can choose any of the big or small stars under Golden Harvest Entertainment. I'll tell you which one you like."
"Okay then, let's go to Fan Bingbing."
"You old Xu, I said that Jiahe's artists, Fan Bingbing, have already started their own companies. This is making things difficult for me."
"You're kidding, can you still hire Fan Bingbing? Besides, it's not me who's embarrassed if you can't hire him. By the way, do you have time as a producer?"
"I'm afraid I don't have time. You go to Thailand to shoot a movie. I don't have time to fly to Thailand. Now the creation of the four major magical series is dragging me down." Shao Shuaijun shook his head.
Who knew Xu Zheng slapped his thigh: "Great, since you don't have time, then you can be our producer."
"I knew you would say this, okay, I'll be your producer." Shao Shuaijun knew what Xu Zheng was thinking. Any producer would control the director and get in the way. Xu Zheng asked Shao Shuaijun to be the producer, and he just
I can make movies as I want.
After discussing with Xu Zheng, Huang Bo and others, Jiahe Entertainment immediately announced the project for "The Lost Journey of Thailand". Xu Zheng took Shao Shuaijun's banner by the way and said: "This movie will be made by me, Huang Bo and Shao
Director Shao supervised the production, and I directed it myself. It is an upgraded version of "On the Road". The main characters are me, Huang Bo and Bao Qiang. We also invited Fan Bingbing to join us. Most of the scenes will be in
Filmed in Thailand.”

In the 10 overseas markets where it opened on Wednesday, "Avengers" achieved an excellent opening result of US$17.1 million.
In addition, according to statistics from the online ticket sales website movie-tickets, the current pre-sales volume of Women's Federation in North America is equally astonishing, which is 1.5 times the total sales of the five Marvel films previously prepared for it in the same period!

The word-of-mouth is booming and the box office is also booming!
From April 27th to 29th, the box office in overseas markets has surfaced.
It was released on 963 screens in South Korea, mobilizing an audience of 1,342,578, and won the championship with an overwhelming advantage. The box office performance was three times that of the second place. The eve of the screening event held on the evening of the 25th alone attracted 72,872
The film attracted a total of 1,636,184 viewers since its release on April 26, setting multiple Hollywood box office records in South Korea.
In the Baodao area, the box office in Taipei exceeded NT$200 million in the first week, and the box office in Taiwan exceeded NT$200 million. It magnificently broke the box office record in the first week of the year and won the championship. The box office was ten times that of the second-place "Battleship".
.
In Hong Kong, he won the championship with HK$5.68 million on the first day and HK$34.25 million in the first week...
As of the end of the 29th, "Avengers" has opened in 39 regions. With a weekend of 195 million U.S. dollars and a first-week performance of over 230 million U.S. dollars, it topped the global weekly box office championship. This result seems unremarkable overall.
It is not ranked among the best in film history, but it has only opened in 39 regions. The largest ticket markets, China, the United States, Russia and Japan, have not yet been released!
"The Avengers are amazing! Shao Shuaijun's highest-grossing movie is about to be born!" Audiences who had watched the movie all cheered wildly.
This superhero blockbuster, with an investment of US$230 million and more than three years of planning, brought together six superheroes. Not only did it not have the tragic end of being easily torn apart by a large number of people, but it intensified and became a phenomenon-level phenomenon.
"The movie event of the year!"
Time Magazine gave the screening of the Women's Federation a popular title.
"Shao, the time has come for Marvel Comics to dominate the film industry!" Kevin Feige called and announced cheerfully.
"Shao, our movie has paid off!" Mitchell also called excitedly. It was only released in 39 overseas regions. The investment of 230 million US dollars and a large amount of publicity expenses for "Avengers" have already been collected.
Come back.
Of the 230 million U.S. dollars in box office, some are divided into shares, some are copyright sales, and at least 100 million can be obtained in return money. Commercial placement, pervasive advertising, especially the logos of various stores in the New York War, after all calculations, alone
The revenue from product placement is no less than US$150 million. These two items combined will offset the investment.
Then, the booming sales of peripheral products and the popularity of pre-sale tickets not only canceled the publicity expenses, but also the profits were flowing into the account of Summit Entertainment.
If we also count the special effects, the film investment will not reach US$230 million at all.
Because the special effects modeling of superheroes is a continuation of the previous movies, the special effects models that have been produced long ago are directly used in the movies, and the costs have long been shared among the investments in the previous movies. Hollywood movies
Industrialization is definitely world-class. For example, the special effects model of Iron Man is extended from Steel 1. Steel 2 made a few modifications, and then the Women's Federation used it directly. In the future, Steel 3, Women's Federation 2, and Steel 4 will also be used.
In Steel 5, Steel 6, etc., the real investment is far less than the exploded cost.
Hollywood has survived for a hundred years and has always been the center of world cinema. It certainly has a reason for its existence!
There is a long way to go for Chinese films to reach such an industrialized production path!
Of course, now is not the time to pay attention to these. After "Avengers" became very popular overseas in its first week, it finally attracted a collective release in major ticket warehouses. China, North America, and Russia all started releasing it in the first week of May!
The overseas box office in the second week once again exploded, with a single-week overseas box office of 168 million U.S. dollars, a decrease of less than 15% compared to the previous week. Among them, 17.9 million U.S. dollars were collected in 4 days of release in Russia, and 17.9 million U.S. dollars was collected in 2 days of release in China.
The daily revenue was US$20.4 million (150 million yuan).
Easily setting a new record for comic book movie adaptations.
So far, the country with the highest overseas box office for "Avengers" is the United Kingdom, with a cumulative box office of US$48.6 million, followed by Mexico and Australia, with US$41.2 million and US$33.2 million respectively.
Especially in China, with 150 million yuan in two days, the "Avengers" assembled by six superheroes has surpassed the total box office revenue of "Captain America", the total box office revenue of "Thor", and the total box office revenue of "Iron Man".
It surpassed the total box office revenue of "Spider-Man", "Spider-Man 2", "Wolverine" and "Spider-Man 3", both created by Marvel. And to surpass the total score of 178 million for "Iron Man 2", it seems that now
It's also a piece of cake.
In just two weeks since its release, the overseas box office of "Avengers" has reached 461.5 million US dollars. The overlord of movies adapted from Marvel Comics has already emerged in advance, and it is not difficult to defeat "Batman: The Dark Knight" adapted from DC Comics!
While it is blowing up the world overseas, it is blowing up even more in North America. To be precise, it has exceeded the limit! (To be continued.)
