It's reasonable for me, a stuntman, to live a crazy life, right?

Chapter 430 I am a construction worker with a sledgehammer. Is it reasonable to play

Counting all the post-85s florets in the entertainment industry, Liu Yifei should be considered the one at the forefront.

"The Golden Family", "Dragon", "Legend of Sword and Fairy", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "Source Code", "Mulan"...

These film and television works brought her a lot of popularity, so much so that when the heroine movie "Super Body" was released, her previous popularity was converted into box office!

Fan support is so strong that the opening rating of "Super Body" on Douban soared to 8.6!

Looking around, there are all kinds of good comments below:

"My angel is awesome, and the fighting scene was so cool!"

"Good guy, these special effects are so cool, especially the stage of "changing from human to god", it shocked me!"

"I thought before that this girl has two brushes and is definitely not that kind of vase. Sure enough, she is so handsome!"

""Mulan" was very handsome, and now "Super Body" is even more handsome!"

"Haha, I can still vaguely see the shadows of Wang Yuyan, Zhao Linger, and Xiao Longnu in her, but she has grown up a lot now."

There are a lot of positive reviews online, and the media is not stingy with various reports, promoting the film from all angles.

Some people reported that the theater was full, others posted various data, and some even posted on-site photos of Liu Yifei participating in various promotional activities on the Internet...

After China Film announced the box office data, a large number of production companies and media were completely excited!

"The box office performance of "Super Body" is extremely strong, with a domestic box office of 45.7 million yuan on the first day and a box office of 17 million US dollars on the first day in North America..."

"Another great example of a heroine action movie!"

"It is expected to surpass "Mulan", another classic masterpiece of Liu Yifei, and it will bloom both at home and abroad."

Domestic reports are crazy. Even though this is an imported film, the screenwriter is Chen Fei and the starring role is Liu Yifei.

Today's Hollywood is still an unreachable goal for China, but on the other hand, "Super Body" chose a Chinese as the heroine, and Hollywood actors as supporting actors...

The sense of superiority came up instantly!

"There are no strong opponents in June, and it may not be a problem to exceed 500 million domestically."

"There will be two imported films later, "Thor" and "The Twilight Saga: Part 5," which will definitely have a certain impact on the box office of "Superman", but I think it will be easy to reach 400 million."

"Tsk, you really spare no effort to praise her. Isn't this a top-notch actress? Who can compare to the heroines of Hollywood movies?"

Many film production company bosses in the industry are discussing this film, and without exception, everyone is very envious.

It can entertain people and make money at the same time. This is the advantage and effectiveness of top commercial films.

However, many companies simply cannot afford to set up this game!

"Will our "King of Guns" be affected?"

Yu Dong is on the phone with Yang Shoucheng. Bona's movie with Emperor will also be released at the end of June, which will coincide with "Super Body".

Although there are many good-looking and acting stars such as Louis Koo, Ng Yen Cho, Li Bingbin, and Cai Zhuoyan joining the cast, they still feel a little bit panicked when facing "Super Body".

"It shouldn't have any impact." Yang Shoucheng explained: "I called Mr. Han and asked about it. There is no idea of ​​extending the key period. We mainly have to fight with "The Great Earthquake"."

"That's good. Compared with Feng Xiaogang, I'm still a little confident."

Yu Dong immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He really didn't have the confidence to compete with Chen Fei. That guy seemed to be cheating when he rode the horse. Who could compare with him?

Inside the crew of "Warring States".

"Uncle Lu, how much do you think the box office of "My Beautiful Boss" will be?" Jing Tian asked.

Lu Zheng opened his mouth, but couldn't tell the reason for a long time.

He knows that Jing Tian's target has always been Liu Yifei, but how can "My Beautiful Boss" compare with "Super Body"? Isn't that why I want to get together for abuse?

"Tiantian, you don't need to be discouraged. Our "Warring States" will definitely not lose too much. With so many big-name actors and high investment, the box office will easily surpass it..."

"I hope so."

Jing Tian lowered his head silently. She was just simpler, but that didn't mean she was stupid.

She actually didn't like the filming of "Warring States" very much, and she felt that the other actors didn't seem to like her very much. She often couldn't keep up with the other actors' rhythm during filming, but the other actors didn't mean to stop and wait for her, so they just fooled her. It was photographed.

Can this kind of movie really succeed?

At this time, inside the crew of "Painted Skin 2".

Various filming work has entered the middle and late stages. Ning Hao is planning to finish shooting the film by the end of June and then send it to special effects and post-production.

"Yang Mi, no, it's not up to standard here. You're playing a bird demon. What I need is that sense of agility... props. Find a bird and let her observe it first. Let's film the next scene first!"

After wiping the sweat from her forehead, Yang Mi walked aside silently and began to observe a bird sent by the prop master.

It is quite difficult for an actor to convey the expression of his actions, and Yang Mi has already received a lot of reprimands.

"Mimi, why do I feel that you are completely out of shape?" Zeng Jia walked over, frowning slightly.

"I don't know, I just feel..."

Yang Mi didn't say the second half because she was really too embarrassed.

She was actually stimulated by the box office of "Super Body" and the excellence of Liu Yifei, who is also a four-star actress. She is still playing a small role here, but others have already made movies with leading heroines.

And so far, the number one domestic actress in total box office is still Liu Yifei, and there is a gap of several hundred million between her and her in second place!

She felt that it would be difficult for her to catch up with him in this life...

"So, are you giving up?" As Yang Mi's partner and friend for several years, how could Zeng Jia not guess what she was thinking.

give up?

Yang Mi was stunned for a moment, recalling the many efforts she had made previously.

Being able to get to where she is today is all because she has been holding her breath in her heart.

She is not willing to just be a supporting role, she also wants to be the top and enjoy the attention and admiration.

Now that the career has finally improved, various film resources are coming in one after another. If you give up here, all the previous efforts will be in vain...

"No! I won't give up!"

Yang Mi suddenly strengthened her heart, "Sister Jia, my part of the scene is almost over. Please help me contact other crew members, preferably film-related resources."

"okay!"

Zeng Jia nodded and suddenly remembered a movie that Meiya was preparing recently.

Although it is a thriller, it is still a theatrical movie that can be shown on the big screen. If Yang Mi is sent to audition, she should be able to win the role of the female lead.

Thinking of this, she casually mentioned it to Yang Mi.

"The female lead?" Yang Mi immediately became interested and asked curiously: "What is the name of the movie? Who is the co-star?"

Zeng Jia recalled, "It seems to be called "Far Cry", and your partner is Chen Xiaochun, but I'm not sure whether Meiya will agree to you playing the female lead. I'll contact you first."

"Okay, then I'll trouble Sister Zeng."

Yang Mi nodded, withdrew her gaze and focused on the birdcage in front of her again.

She decided to catch up!

Chen Fei didn't pay much attention to the domestic box office performance of "Super Body". His attention was almost entirely focused on North America.

The investment cost is nearly 40 million. If we only rely on the mainland box office, we will definitely lose it to my grandma’s house!

Fortunately, the results here are still good.

In the three days of its first weekend, the box office gross was US$44 million, which was exactly the same as the investment cost.

"The number of theaters for "Super Body" is 3,173. The data department did a simple analysis. It should be no problem for this movie to have a box office of over 100 million in North America.

As long as the cost is recovered, the rest is pure profit! "

"Well, you can watch the distribution operations in other countries, mainly in Asia. Liu Yifei is relatively popular here..."

Chen Fei was attending the release conference of "Thor" in New York at this time, so he hung up the phone without talking much.

As the second superhero movie released by Marvel Studios, the media has paid a lot of attention to it, and many people in the industry came to the scene.

The actor who plays Thor is Australian actor Chris Hemsworth. At this time, he is still a newcomer. His resume only has a supporting role in the TV series "Separation" and the movie "Star Trek".

Chris was quite excited about being able to play the role of "Thor"!

Because of the excellent box office results of "Iron Man" in front of us, there are many, many people vying for this role.

Such as Brad Pitt, Channing Tatum, Daniel Craig, Charlie Hunnam, Tom Hiddleston, Alexander Skarsgård, Liam Hemsworth Si and Joel Kinnaman were once candidates to play "Thor".

But in the end the role fell to him.

When a reporter asked him how he got the role, he smiled sheepishly, "Because I once worked as a construction worker in Australia and have extensive experience in using hammers, and Thor's weapon happens to be a hammer, so I’m uniquely positioned to play this role.”

There was a burst of laughter from below, and Chen Fei couldn't help laughing, and he had a lot of affection for this big man.

The experience of a construction worker is one thing. In fact, Chris Hemsworth also put in a lot of effort for this role.

In order to conform to the body shape of "Thor", he carried out strict shaping training, which not only required physical exercise, but also diet control.

And in order to make the film more enjoyable, the crew also let Chris experience various fighting styles, which made him feel very tired after returning home every night and almost fell asleep.

Now that the movie has been successfully shot, it’s time to test the results.

Although Chris, who plays "Thor", is a newcomer, the heroine of this movie is very well-known.

The heroine Natalie Portman once played the role of "Matilda" in "The Killer Is Too Cold", that is, the little girl holding the flower pot.

After that, she starred in "Star Wars: Episode I: The Phantom Menace", which was released in 1999. She was loved by the audience for her role as Queen Amidala in the film, and was hailed as "the second Audrey Hepburn".

Later, she also starred in many films such as "New Jersey", "Stealing Hearts", "V for Vendetta", etc. For these films, she won the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture and the Saturn Award for Best Actress. Protagonist Award and many other awards.

Therefore, she was paid the highest amount in this movie.

As for Tom Hiddleston, who plays "Loki", he is a pure newcomer. So far, he has only appeared in a few plays.

The 114-minute film mainly tells the story of Thor, the God of Thunder, who was demoted to the mortal world because of a reckless action that started an ancient war. He learned how to become a true hero and bravely fight against the powerful dark forces from the divine world. .

The response from the audience was quite good, which made Kevin Feige and the leading actors breath a sigh of relief.

Chen Fei was not in a hurry to return to Los Angeles, but stayed in New York for one night, waiting for the box office performance of "Thor" on the first day.

According to the original timeline, the movie "Thor" was actually converted from 2D to 3D, so there will be some flaws in the presentation of special effects.

But this time it was different. At Chen Fei's request, 3D cameras were used throughout the filming process in order to better present the special effects.

Although the production cost has increased a lot as a result, he feels that the final box office will be higher than the original!

Early the next morning, after waking up from Amanda Seyfried's bed, Chen Fei rushed to Marvel Studios.

"The box office on the first day was US$35.481 million!"

Kevin Feige was very excited. Although this figure is more than 10 million US dollars less than "Iron Man 2", it is already a huge success for a new superhero work.

And the most important thing is that "Thor" will also be followed by a sequel. As long as the quality is not inferior to the first one, the box office results will only get higher and higher!

"Kevin, don't be too excited, Marvel will only become more and more brilliant in the future..."

Chen Fei made a few jokes with him, then turned on the computer and read various reviews on the IMDb website.

Film critics gave the film a score of 7.9, which is quite satisfactory.

"The director succeeds in making this film approachable, coherent, and engaging, taking things that could easily have been silly and putting them into a huge, spectacular, visually intense superhero movie."

"This movie has a great style and provides the audience with an excellent fantasy journey in the latest 3D format. The special effects and film settings ensure that the audience can be fascinated and get an exciting and exciting viewing experience."

"'Thor' is not a groundbreaking movie, but it is satisfying, entertaining, and the entire setting is very conducive to the development of characters and narrative."

"Unlike Iron Man and the Hulk, Thor comes from Norse mythology and the world of gods, so the gorgeous special effects have become the biggest highlight of the movie. If you watch it for the special effects, you will have a great experience! "

Of course there are negative reviews, but most of them mean that the protagonist's character is not fleshed out enough.

On the contrary, there are many points that can be explored in the character of the villain Loki, because Loki's character experience seems to be more in line with the template of a tragic hero.

In contrast, Chen Fei said that everyone should not be impatient and can wait and see.

As a series of movies, it is naturally impossible to completely establish the character's image in just two hours. The presentation of subsequent sequels is the key.

The media has begun reporting again, and box office results are always announced immediately.

US$33.341 million on the second day, US$26.903 million on the third day... I successfully collected US$95.725 million in the three days of the first weekend.

There is no doubt that this will be another successful superhero work!

Seeing that Marvel's three consecutive movies were selling well, Sony, which holds the superhero IP of "Spider-Man", suddenly couldn't sit still.

How can this be possible when our friends are making more money at an ever-increasing rate, but our own business is standing still?

Those who fall behind will be beaten!

"According to the previously planned plan, let's start preparations for The Amazing Spider-Man."

"Yes! Boss!"

At the same time, with the release of "Thor", the latest box office results of "Iron Man 2" were also revealed again.

One month after its release, the North American box office has exceeded 300 million U.S. dollars, and the global total box office has successfully exceeded 600 million U.S. dollars, and is charging towards 700 million U.S. dollars.

If nothing else happens, this will be another top commercial blockbuster with over RMB 800 million!

As for "How to Train Your Dragon", it has begun to gradually reduce its film holdings. The total global box office has reached 630 million U.S. dollars, and the subsequent increase is no longer very large.

Although it is almost impossible to break through 700 million US dollars, but even so, this movie can be regarded as a huge success!

During the same period, "Shrek 4" also performed quite well because it played the emotional card.

On the other hand, "Prince of Persia: The Blades of Time" is a bit miserable. The North American box office has become increasingly pitiful. It has not even exceeded 50 million US dollars after more than ten days of release!

As expected, Disney has lost money again this time, and it needs to use some of the money it earned from "Alice in Wonderland" in the early stage to make up for it.

Things in New York have come to an end for the time being, and Chen Fei is not ready to stay any longer.

The premiere of "The Twilight Saga" will be held in a few days. He has to fly to Los Angeles quickly, and he also has to do the post-production of "The Hunt"...

But I never thought that when I landed in Los Angeles, the domestic Magic City International Film Festival suddenly went into trouble.

Wang Xiaoshuai publicly stated that basically no good domestic films come to Shanghai Film Festival to compete. What is the reason? Isn’t it because this country is so aggressive about worshiping foreigners and not giving any good domestic movies a chance...

These remarks were supported by many filmmakers in the industry.

After all... who wouldn't want to be the most beautiful flower in the garden?

If you knew early on that you were only worthy of being a Green Leaf if you participated in the competition, naturally no one would participate. It would be enough to promote the movie. Who would foolishly use his work as a foil for a Hollywood movie? Isn’t it a disease to step on the horse?
