Made in Hollywood

After suffering for a month and nine days, the season of bad movies stipulated by the Bureau of Narcissus is finally over, and I can finally go to the theater again.

On a well-known movie forum on the Greater China Regional Network, some movie fans expressed such emotion. For many movie fans, December and the New Year’s Day holiday are very good time to watch movies, but during this time, they I rarely go to the theater, and even if I go to the theater, I often don't buy tickets.

Someone on the website called out, Star Wars: The Force Awakens is finally about to be released. Duke fans, what are you waiting for? See you tomorrow at the Chinese premiere in Shanghai International Cinema!

Since Star Wars: The Force Awakens was released in North America and overseas, Warner Greater China has never relaxed its promotion in the Chinese market. The film is currently in North America for 20 days, and it has received a reported US$979.88 million. Touched the $1 billion threshold.

The global box office also broke through the US$2 billion mark without any suspense, with a total of US$2.21588 billion.

Such box office figures not only give Warner Greater China confidence, but also allow China Film Group, which is in charge of distribution in China, to see a profit opportunity and raise the distribution level of the film to the highest level. No matter whether it is official capital or private capital, it will not follow The high profits that can be expected will not make life difficult.

Although the Chinese screening of Star Wars: The Force Awakens was 20 days late, it will inevitably lose some viewers, but the super high box office figures are undoubtedly the best publicity gimmick, and it can also attract enough attention .

The global box office of Star Wars: The Force Awakens has been soaring all the way, and its peripherals have also become popular commodities. Duke has obtained a copy of the latest relevant statistics. In the twenty days since its release, the peripherals of this film have only The United States generated $700 million in sales, far exceeding other Hollywood blockbusters. Become the local money-absorbing king.

Among all the peripheral products, the intelligent robot BB-8 and the Jedi lightsaber are the most popular.

This is not all. Duke and Lucasfilm still have a big killer that has not been used. While coming to China, Duke also announced through the official twitter and instant sharing that the role has not been released due to the confidentiality of the film. A peripheral product of the heroine Rey. It has entered the production stage and will be officially released soon.

You know, Rey is not only the most popular character in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, but also the focus of heated discussions among fans around the world recently. Her related products have come out, and its sales can be imagined.

In some ways, this is also a kind of hunger marketing.

Why are there many characters here that I learned from Tina... and why are they different from the ones I saw in Hong Kong?

The sun is slightly to the west. Scarlett Johansson, who met Duke in Hong Kong, held his arm, sat comfortably on the car parked in the waiting area, looked at the various banners and words outside, and asked suspiciously, Isn't this all Is it Chinese? Why is there such a big difference?

This sort of thing could go on for days. Ryan could only roughly explain in the simplest language, Chinese is divided into simplified and traditional characters. The ones you saw before are traditional characters, but here are all simplified characters.

Speaking of which. The car door was pulled open from the outside, Duke reminded. Honey, we should go down.

Although the scale of the Chinese premiere of Star Wars: The Force Awakens is not comparable to the world premiere held in Los Angeles, it is also a super scale that Hollywood movies have never achieved.

Not to mention the Chinese stars invited by Warner Greater China and China Film Group, the team that came from Hollywood across the ocean can dazzle people's eyes. Not only were all the main creators of Star Wars: The Force Awakens present, but Duke's friends and collaborators who are not many in the circle but have a high enough reputation also flew over to join in the show.

Despite the enthusiasm of the Chinese fans, Duke and Scarlett followed their custom, speeding through the red carpet, because there were enough stars behind to make them cheer.

The appearance of Leonardo DiCaprio almost drove the female fans crazy. If there were not enough security personnel, Xiao Li would definitely not be able to return to the other side of the Pacific Ocean.

Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman appeared hand in hand. The fingers of the reporters who pressed the shutter were about to cramp, and the fans also gave them applause.

Charlize Theron, wearing a light gold mermaid evening dress, walked onto the red carpet, and the chaotic scene immediately quieted down, leaving only countless staring eyes. Queen Theron's red carpet momentum can also be seen here kill everything...

thank you all.

In front of Shanghai International Studios, Duke greeted several people who came over one after another, Thank you for coming. Leo, you are still so charming. Tom, Mary, where is my goddaughter? Sally...

Duke hugged them one by one, and took Scarlett to take a group photo with them standing in front of the media camera. There is a super director, two top male stars and three first-line female stars, each with their own aura Taken together, the cameras of countless journalists were murdered.

Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman were led by the staff to the guest area in front of the theater, but Charlize Theron stopped at the Duke In front of him, he didn't seem to see Scarlett Johansson holding his arm.

Is my shape good? Charlize Theron raised her eyebrows and asked, Isn't it beautiful?

Duke is not stupid at all, how could he praise another woman in front of his girlfriend, but just shrugged without saying anything.

Is this a dress sponsored by Dior? Scarlett Johansson curled her lips indistinctly, This dress fully exposes your flat-chested flaws...

Charlize Theron turned her head slightly, raised her eyebrows even higher, just about to say something to fight back, but saw Duke's eyes, shook her head slightly at Scarlett Johansson, turned and walked towards the guest area.

I don't like her. Scarlett whispered.

Duke patted her hand lightly, Let's go, it's time for us to go to the interview area.

In the interview area, many reporters surrounded Daniel Wu. To become the leading actor in a mainstream Hollywood commercial blockbuster, he has already done something that even Bruce Lee and Jack Chen failed to do. Naturally, this is the place. The focus of media attention.

Appearing with me makes Daisy more beautiful. I can inspire Daisy to be more attractive.

When facing the media, the crew members are always united and friendly. Just as Duke walked into the interview area, he heard Daniel Wu saying this while standing beside Daisy Ridley.

Daisy Ridley is also very cooperative. This is also a stipulation of her contract and work obligations. Daniel is also one of the best young actors I have ever seen. I think there is only one young actor in the crew who can do better than Daniel.

Speaking of this, Daisy Ridley touched the head of BB-8 with one hand, It feels great to act with BB-8, it is an incredible character. Stay with it for a long time After that, I wasn’t used to acting with real people anymore.”

However, as Duke entered the interview area, most reporters shifted their interview targets to him.

A reporter from the movie channel of State TV firstly asked, Director Rosenberg, China lacks a solid Star Wars cultural foundation. Do you think Chinese fans can accept a sequel film like Star Wars: The Force Awakens? ?

Last night, a group of lucky Chinese Star Wars fans and movie fans and guests took the lead in watching the early screening of Star Wars: The Force Awakens at Shanghai International Cinema.

Probably because the box office figures of Star Wars: The Force Awakens were too high and astonishing, which made some media people here feel uneasy, so they asked such a difficult question, but Duke responded calmly Said, I also participated in yesterday's advance show, and found that the atmosphere during the viewing process was extremely enthusiastic, which surprised me.

For the sake of publicity, Duke spoke in extremely fluent Chinese, I didn't expect China to have so many fans who love Star Wars. They are as fanatical and loyal as Star Wars fans in other parts of the world. I watched the movie last night. The responses, the laughs and the tears were so consistent with what we've seen from audiences in America and elsewhere around the world.

Duke gave the national television reporter a faint smile back.

Compared with the national TV reporters who have a special halo in this country, the questions asked by the Penguin Entertainment reporters who have a cooperative relationship with Duke are much more cooperative.

The global box office of Star Wars: The Force Awakens has soared all the way, and word of mouth is flying together.

The reporter had contacted Duke before and knew that he could understand these Chinese words, Even the American Film Institute specially extended the voting date for last year's 'Top Ten Movies of the Year' for it, allowing the judges to vote after watching the film. , and finally selected it into the top ten list, Director Rosenberg, what do you think of this?

In response to the special treatment of the American Film Institute for opening the back door, Duke responded, What happened in the past few weeks surprised us. Not only this incident, but also broke the box office of 2 billion US dollars in the first two days, etc. , Of course we have expectations for Star Wars: The Force Awakens, but such a warm response is really unexpected, I am very grateful, and I am very excited to see that everyone sincerely likes the new chapter of Star Wars.

Since the film was released in China, the relationship with China is also the focus of attention of media reporters. A reporter asked, Will a Chinese actor like Wu Yanzu appear in Star Wars: The Force Awakens in the future? China has more connections.

After many years, the Star Wars series is about to land on Chinese screens again. We are naturally looking forward to the film's release in the world's second largest film market,

Faced with such a question, Duke certainly knows how to answer, The extra episode Star Wars: Rogue One, which will be released at the end of next year, has just finished filming, and there are two Chinese actors in it, and their performance during filming is too fantastic gone.

In the end, Duke also deliberately added, China has so many legendary stories that have been passed down for thousands of years, and future Star Wars movies may draw inspiration from them.

The film is about to be released in China. Whether the global box office can achieve a leap depends on the performance of the Chinese market. (to be continued ~^~)
