[US Entertainment] Superstar

333 Batman

Various newspapers, websites and other media are reporting the news of Eve becoming a Bond girl, and the entertainment news of the radio and TV stations are naturally very happy. They can release the information in a timely manner, which is more convenient than the paper media.

The outside world is very interested in the combination of 007+Eve. The young and beautiful Bond girl and the attractive actress will definitely make the new movie have a different effect, and may break the deadlock in the 007 series of movies.

The actresses and managers who were cheated were naturally furious. They thought that "Die Another Day" would choose the heroine through audition, so they tried their best to talk to MGM.

As a result, Mingxiu plank road secretly kept Chen Cang, and Eve was booked early, but it was never announced to the public, and all of them were used to carry her sedan chair, helping people gain popularity for nothing.

It's like a mouthful of old blood wants to spit out!

However, MGM has a solid foundation after all, and since they already know about it, they will openly invite investment and directly drag Eve's two films out to attract investment.

Taking advantage of the high popularity, hurry up and sell all the broadcasting rights.At the same time, a few days later, MGM still has a key project "Hannibal" to be released, and they want to finish the business of "Legally Blonde" as soon as possible, and find the theater manager while it still has influence Get the filming done.

For the part of the films that were released years ago, the box office is really grinding now, thanks to the Golden Globe effect and the Oscar nomination effect. After the Oscar results are announced, it can basically end.

Every spring is the off-season of the Hollywood film market. Basically, only those movies that are aimed at the Olympics, as well as low-budget thrillers and romance movies are released, which are completely cannon fodder.

The spring file is simply a typical example of parents not loving each other. There is a Christmas file in the front and a summer file in the back. Those two time frames are full of strong movies, and the spring file is full of small and medium-budget movies.

Audiences are unwilling to go to the cinema, and film companies put unnoticed films at this time. Under the vicious circle, it becomes the traditional off-season, accumulating strength for the outbreak of summer movies.

Under such circumstances, although the old films are blessed by the Golden Globes, the increase is not too large to be honest, and the overall market is very sluggish.

The No. 1060 movie on the weekend box office list is the romantic love movie "The Wedding Planner" co-operated by JLo and Matthew McConaughey, and it earned a total of [-] million US dollars in the box office over the three days of the weekend, which is not as good as the single-day box office of the movie at its peak so high.

The champion is so miserable, and the runner-up is naturally not much better. A thriller horror film called "Valentine's Day" opened at the box office of 1019 million US dollars, and it is expected to disappear after a ten-day trip on the box office list.

The third runner-up was a bit unexpected. Tom Hanks' "Cast Away" had a relatively large increase. It won a box office of 746 million US dollars in three days on the weekend, an 18% increase from last weekend, bringing the total box office to two. The point of 300 million US dollars.

This movie was released together with "Legal Blonde" in the early days, but the early box office has not been as good as Eve's work, and now it has finally achieved a counterattack and counterattack with its super high reputation.

"Rest of a Deserted Island" was originally said to be suitable for watching at home alone. After all, it is a bit boring to go to the cinema to watch American Dad survive alone on a deserted island.

Eve's "Legal Blonde" won an award at the Golden Globes, and that was the best actress in the musical comedy category.The explosion was too violent in the early stage, and now there is no increase at all. It only got 721 million US dollars at the box office on the weekend, and the total box office in North America reached 2.59 million US dollars.

The Golden Globes are its last hope, but it's just a flashback. It might be difficult for 2.8 million.

As for the global box office, this movie about love and growth is very popular overseas. Although the criticism and support are mixed, the box office has been rising steadily.

The overseas box office has exceeded the 2 million US dollar mark, and the global box office has reached 4.5 million US dollars!The potential of overseas markets can continue to be tapped, because some countries and regions have a relatively late release time, such as China and Japan, which have not yet been released.

The Chinese mainland market can basically be ignored, and 1000 million yuan is considered a high-spirited product.Japan, on the other hand, is a big market with eccentric appetites, and no one can predict the country's preferences correctly.

Last year, the annual box office champion in Japan was "Mission: Impossible 2", which scored 97 billion yen. The runner-up was also taken away by Hollywood movies, but it was "The Green Mile" with 65 billion yen. The domestic box office performed the best. But it was "Pokémon Movie", which only got 45 billion yen.

This year, "Spirited Away", a super killer and even a record in Japanese film history, will be born.

Nobody knows what Legally Blonde will do at the Japanese box office, but they're pretty sure it'll end up in the mid-$5 million range, making it her first solo feature, and a big hit in annual earnings. top video.

The cost was only 2000 million U.S. dollars, and the global box office was [-] million.Many people understand why MGM likes Eve so much after seeing this box office result. The benefits it brings are too much, who can refuse?

Ranked No.5 is "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". This film continued to expand its screening scale and earned 1163 million US dollars in 690 theaters. The novel action fighting is too attractive to North American audiences.

If one day, the number of theaters it shows becomes [-] or [-], then winning the championship should not be difficult.The premise is not to run into "Hannibal", otherwise Uncle Ba will teach it how to behave.

On the contrary, "Almost Famous", which has fallen to the bottom, has once again tenaciously climbed up. Last weekend, its box office was already around tenth, and it only totaled 200 million US dollars in three days.

However, the arrival of the Golden Globes gave it a shot in the arm, and it can continue to live for two weeks by virtue of the award-winning effect. Maybe it will reap another wave if it persists until the Oscars are announced.

"Almost Famous" was a big success at the Golden Globe Awards. The four awards are proud of the crowd, and they all have amazing influence. The weekend box office has returned to more than 500 million US dollars, and the cumulative box office in North America has reached 3.2 million US dollars. No. [-] on the annual list!

It has reached the top of the year many days ago, and now it is just expanding its advantage.

Movies like "Never Compromise" and "Gladiator" suffer a lot. The awards season effect can't be enjoyed at all. At most, it can promote disc sales and rentals, and the box office has already been fixed.

The Golden Globes are still weak in stimulating the film box office, and the focus is still on the promotion of stars. Now everyone has put all their attention on the Oscars.

One public relations party after another was held in Los Angeles, and all the nominees were participating, which made Columbia Pictures and CAA very intersected. Eve went to film in other places at this critical moment of voting, and it was too easy to miss it!

So Keanu was arrested. Although he didn't have any extravagant hopes for winning the award, he was already very happy to be nominated, but when the crew held parties, he was allowed to appear from time to time, and the director Cameron could not always appear alone. .

Keanu not only represents himself, he is also Eve's fiancée, so when gathering with some members of the academy who are eligible to vote, he has to show up and occasionally help to say a few words.

This can only be regarded as a helpless move. Eve cannot be dragged back from Charleston.

Therefore, when chatting on the phone at night, Keanu can only say these things, let the other party know what he has done, and it is best not to leave his name behind in a relationship.

When Eve returned to the hotel after filming, she took a hot bath to drive away the cold while talking on the phone with her boyfriend.

"Honey, thank you for your hard work. I heard from Robert that you attended two public relations parties today." Eve said in a coquettish tone: "My filming is progressing very quickly, and I think I can finish the shooting task ahead of schedule. I can come back and be with you more."

Keanu said with a smile on the other end of the phone: "I just showed up and didn't participate in the whole process. Director Cameron is always involved. But I'm really tired. I finally understand the busy life of an ordinary middle-aged man. state."

Sony and Columbia Pictures are very optimistic about the Oscar prospects of "Almost Famous", not only Eve's best supporting actress award, but also want to win the best picture and best director.

Especially the best picture, which is obviously not impossible. Firstly, the box office of the movie is the best, and secondly, the theme of the film is the rock music of the 70s and [-]s. Many members of the academy who are eligible to vote have experienced that rock era, or more Or less affected, with a sense of nostalgia.

Of course, the competitors are also very strong, so director Cameron can't wait to have sex skills and can participate in activities everywhere.

"How is your negotiation with Warner? Do you have any relevant plans and ideas?" Eve asked casually.

"At present, I am still hesitant, because the Batman project failed once. At the beginning, "Batman and Robin" was highly anticipated, but it turned out to be a direct decline. After George played the role of Bruce Wayne, he almost took over in Hollywood. There are no good scripts."

Keanu's voice sounded a little hesitant. "Batman" has been put on the big screen many times before. The first Batman's box office in North America has been declining since its box office of 2.5 million US dollars. There are 1.6 million and 1.8 million. In 1997, "Batman and Robin" invested 1.25 million U.S. dollars, with a North American box office of 1.07 million U.S. dollars and a global box office of 2.38 million U.S. dollars. It was very thorough.

That movie can be said to be full of stars. First of all, the IP of Batman will not be mentioned. The director Joe Schumacher is the director of the previous movie, starring George Clooney, and the villain Freeze is played by Arnold Schwarzenegger , Robin is played by "Scent of a Woman" actor Chris O'Donnell, Uma Thurman plays Poison Ivy, and Batwoman is played by Alicia Silverstone, a popular school girl idol in the 90s .

This cast seems to be impeccable, but it was so thorough that Warner Films and Television directly sealed Batman's IP.

After hearing Keanu's words, Eve was stunned: "Why Batman? I thought you would choose other projects."

This seems to be different from what she imagined, Keanu was actually invited to play Batman Bruce Wayne!

"Other options? I think the role of Bruce Wayne is very suitable for me, but the risk is too great. I worry that the box office and word of mouth may fail."

What happened in 1997 is less than 5 years away. Even if the audience doesn't remember this event, the media will definitely find it out.

What Keanu is worried about now is that he can't carry this IP, and he can't drag Batman back from the edge of the box office!

The author has something to say: In fact, in reality, foreign media have published a draft of Keanu playing Batman, so this is not considered a magical change.

You can search for the news "Keanu-Reeves Fights to Play Batman Again", which was published by Sina in 2000. The sense of the times is too strong!
