Director who specializes in American comics

The rough statistics of the North American opening weekend box office of "The Fast and the Furious: Paranormal Activity" have been obtained by Wang Xuanyuan. Thirteen million is a very good number, which means that the box office in the three days of the weekend has already reached The investment and distribution costs of this film.

Of course, movie profits cannot be calculated this way. As producers and producers, Universal, Bad Robot and Skydance can only get a little more than one-third of the total box office, and most of the other box office has to be taken away by the theater. The lines are separated.

But if you don't look at anything else, just looking at the three-day box office on the first weekend, it gives people an encouraging state.

It's not that the movie will only be released for three days, it will continue to be released, but looking at this situation, within a week, the investment and publicity expenses for this movie will definitely be recovered.

Next is the process of making money while lying down.

At the same time, there were cheers within Universal Studios. Moretz, the producer who persuaded Universal executives to invest in Wang Xuanyuan's film, has a greater voice within Universal.

The celebration dinner was scheduled for Tuesday night. By Tuesday, the combined North American and overseas box office of "Fast and Furious: Paranormal Activity" had exceeded 20 million, and it was moving forward.

Wang Xuanyuan attended the dinner with Scarlett. He was the protagonist tonight and attracted everyone's attention. People kept coming over to say hello to him or invite him to film.

Wang Xuanyuan proved himself with his two movies.

Producer Moretz came over with a wine glass, clinked the glasses with Wang Xuanyuan and said, "Congratulations, young man, you did not disappoint me."

After Wang Xuanyuan expressed his thanks with a smile, Moretz continued: "Xuanyuan, let's go, I will introduce you to someone, come on."

The two of them walked to a nearby room, where a man in his forties was sitting. Although his face had a lot of beard, it could be seen that it had been modified by him.

Wang Xuanyuan knew the person standing next to him, Nicolas Cage.

Moretz quickly introduced: "Xuanyuan, this is Brooke Sponge, Jerry Bruckheimer, a golden producer in Hollywood."

Bruckheimer had already stood up, holding a wine glass in his hand. He smiled slightly and the wrinkles on his face were somewhat loosened. He said: "Congratulations to you young man, you are doing a good job. Cheers."

Cage next to him also raised his glass.

Wang Xuanyuan could only drink all the wine in the glass, smiled and paid tribute to Bruckheimer and said: "Mr. Bruckheimer, it is a great honor to meet you. Mr. Cage, thank you for coming."

Cage smiled steadily and said: "Please call me Nick, Mr. Wang."

Bruckheimer also said: "Call me Jerry, I like people to call me directly." After saying that, he smiled again.

Wang Xuanyuan was a little confused about the purpose of these two people, so he chatted with them. It could be seen that Bruckheimer was very interested in Wang Xuanyuan, and the topics they talked about were basically about movies.

Bruckheimer said: "Xuanyuan, if nothing else, your movie will definitely be a big hit. Young people are not simple. They have proven themselves with two movies just after they debuted. It is very good. I don't know what your plans are next. .”

He looked at Wang Xuanyuan with very sincere eyes, and his inquiry had already shown it, as if he had something to say.

Wang Xuanyuan looked at the two people in front of him who had a lot of say in Hollywood with respect. Bruckheimer, a senior producer, has been in the industry for more than ten years. In recent years, he has started a solo career and established his own film company. In the past two years, he has launched two commercial films, "Prison in the Sky" and "The End of the World". Has a very good reputation.

Cage has been a popular star in recent years, and his recent action movies have been very popular, including "Prison in the Sky", "Broken Arrow", "The Island", "Snake Eyes", and the tenderness that makes people cry. "City of Angels", now that his fame is at its peak, these two people are definitely not here to congratulate him alone.

Wang Xuanyuan coughed lightly and said: "Jerry, Nick, I'm afraid I have to take a good rest for a while. I have been busy for more than half a year and am always in a state of tension. Now I am very nervous all over." .”

Cage said: "Xuanyuan, I understand you very much. I have been very tired in the past few years. I have been filming all the time. I feel the same way. You really need to rest."

Jerry continued to ask: "So, after the break, do you have any projects in hand?"

Wang Xuanyuan continued: "I have been in contact with Keanu, Mr. Keanu Reeves, before. He had a script in his hand that he was very interested in and asked me if I was interested. But I am not free now, you know Yes, I work with Abrams and David, and I have to seek their opinions first on any project."

Jerry asked in confusion: "Have you signed a contract with their company?"

Wang Xuanyuan waved his hand and said: "No, no, I am a freelance artist now, but they are my partners and they help me a lot, and I trust them very much."

Cage said: "That's good of you, Xuanyuan, I really value you."

Wang Xuanyuan replied: "Thank you Nick."

Cage continued: "To be honest, I really hope that we can cooperate in the future. You know, I think you will be very good in action movies."

Wang Xuanyuan said: "Nick, to tell you the truth, the script Keanu showed me was an action-type film, pure action. To be honest, I was really moved."

Cage said: "I understand. I have watched both of your movies carefully. They tend to be thriller-type, but your new movie also has action elements. I think you have matched the genre very well in the new movie and the blend is very natural. , God, why didn’t you let me see such a good script first, otherwise I would definitely play one of the roles.”

After Cage finished speaking, he made a heartbroken expression, which naturally brought the relationship between the two closer.
