Although Tang Yan’s legs were good enough to last for years,
Su Cheng still left after spending a few days with her.
Of course, this time it was not to manage time to accompany other women, but because”Lucy” had sent back good news!!
Rushing back to Yanjing from Shanghai,
Su Cheng went directly to Xiancheng Film and Television.
He called Yang Tianzhen to the office:
“How to say?”
“$530,000 on the first day”
《The opening scale of”Lucy” in North America is 500 theaters.
Su Cheng took some time to check the box office data of”Mission Impossible 4″ in North America while playing with his legs a few days ago.
Tom Cruise’s movie also took the route of small-scale screening at the beginning.
It opened in 425 theaters.
The number is not as good as”Lucy”.
But the box office on the first day was much better than”Lucy”.》
——$4.1 million in a single day!!
Su Cheng took a deep breath, knowing that it was a bit unfair to compare”Lucy” with”Mission Impossible 4″, and asked,”What about the next day?”
Yang Tianzhen wanted to play a trick on her boss, but she couldn’t hold back her excitement.”The next day, $214!!”
Su Cheng was surprised,”Four times?”
Yang Tianzhen’s expression became more and more excited,”Guess how much it was on the third day!”
“Judging from your tone, it’s gone up again?!”
“Bingo!!”
Yang Tianzhen laughed,”On the third day, that is, yesterday’s daily box office was 3.37 million dollars, and the attendance rate is rising steadily. There is a high probability that it will rise in the future!”
Su Cheng looked surprised,”Such a good result?”
Yang Tianzhen said happily,”Not only is the result good, but the reputation is also quite good. The Rotten Tomatoes freshness is 81%, the Rotten Tomatoes audience score is 84%, and the IMDB score is as high as 7.6!!”
Rotten Tomatoes and IMDB are both American movie rating websites.
Su Cheng’s memory has been improved by the system. He can easily recall the information that he glanced at in his previous life. He remembers it clearly. In his previous life,”Lucy” starring Black Widow had a pitiful Rotten Tomatoes freshness of only 67.
%,IM”The”380″ DB score is as low as 6.4, barely passing.
Why is the version directed by himself so well-received?
Do Americans also think that foreigners’ farts are fragrant?
Yang Tianzhen took out his mobile phone,”I asked my assistant to intercept some American reviews, I’ll read them to you.”
“Manny Farber, a well-known film critic from New York, said that”Lucy” is an unparalleled film with a first-class rhythm and master-level control.”
“When she learned that this was your first movie, she was so surprised that she couldn’t believe it. She said,”Boss, you will be the next Wu Yusen.”
Hearing this,
Su Cheng laughed dumbly,”The next Wu Yusen, is this a compliment or an insult?”
Wu Yusen used to be quite successful in the United States.
However, he messed up”Windtalkers”, which cost more than 100 million US dollars and almost bankrupted MGM. He returned to China in disgrace.
In 2009, he filmed the two parts of”Red Cliff”. With many stars, the box office results were only average, and it had long lost its former glory.
Yang Tianzhen said firmly:”She must be talking about Wu Yusen in his prime, but I think she still underestimated the boss. You are only 21 years old, much better than Wu Yusen!!”
Su Cheng corrected,”In the new year, you are 22 years old.”
“Boss, isn’t your birthday in the second half of the year?”
“You even found out my birthday. What do you want to do?”
“you”
“……”
Su Cheng ignored Yang Tianzhen’s teasing and said,”Stop reading. We are all family. It’s awkward to brag. Let me read it myself.”
Yang Tianzhen handed over the phone,”It’s not me who is bragging. It’s the American audience and film critics who are bragging. The voices are much louder than those in China.”
Su Cheng read all the film reviews saved in her photo album.
He understood why the reputation of”Lucy” directed by himself was better than the original version.
The core points can be summarized as follows:
【The rhythm is perfect. 】
Same story.
Obviously, Su Cheng’s version is more popular with Americans.
Film is the art of the director.
So the director is extremely important to a film.
《The story of Avatar is actually very simple:
【A traitor led the Na’vi to resist the Earth Demolition Team.
But Camelaki used the top special effects and the smoothest rhythm to make it a sci-fi masterpiece that rewrote film history.
《The story of”Lucy”.
Although Su Cheng did not change the core structure.
But under his hands, the picture, rhythm, action design and even music, color grading and editing are completely different from the original. The fact that it can sell well in the United States is enough to show the excellence of this version of”Lucy”!!
Su Cheng returned the phone to Yang Tianzhen.
Yang Tianzhen continued:”Someone from Disney Pictures called across the ocean this morning. One is to tell us that the number of theaters showing”Lucy” will increase to 1,500 next week. The other is to hope that you, the boss, and Yang Mi will go to the United States and appear on a few programs to promote the movie.”
Su Cheng frowned and said,”You still want me to fly to the United States? I plan to go to Thailand in March to shoot”Detective Chinatown 2″》”
Yang Tianzhen was speechless,”Boss, my big boss, breaking into the North American market is not more important than making your next movie?!”
“and”
“《”Lucy” is a big hit at the North American box office. You can use it as a springboard to enter Hollywood. Aren’t you excited at all?”Su Cheng was of course a little excited.
It’s not that he thought the United States was so high-end.
He was thinking about making a name for himself in Hollywood.
Soon he could ride a big horse and gallop freely. I have never had this experience in two lives! I heard that white people have a stinky body…..
Ahem.
Brother Cheng wants to take a challenge!!
Su Cheng pretended to be calm,”What did Mimi say?”
Yang Tianzhen said,”What else can she say? She has already gone to get her hair done today. She said she wants to charm the Americans! She will change her name to International Mimi in the future!!”
Okay.
This is in line with Big Mimi’s style.
Su Cheng curled his lips,”Since Mimi is making preparations, let’s go to the United States.”
Yang Tianzhen nodded,”Which day? I’ll arrange it now.”
Su Cheng pressed his hand, signaling her to be patient,”Go on Sunday, before”Lucy” expands its screening scale. I have to arrange the preparatory matters for”Detective Chinatown” in the next two days.” After shooting two movies in a row.
Su Cheng has also cultivated a group of his own team.
He doesn’t need to do everything himself.
So he plans to hand over the actors who need to be recruited for”Detective Chinatown” and the requirements for location selection to several assistant directors, and let them build the framework of the crew in advance.
When he returns to China, he can start filming as soon as possible.
Yang Tianzhen nodded to show her understanding,”Okay, I’ll ask Bai Ju to book the plane tickets. Besides you and Mimi, who else should we take with us?”
“Bring Bailu with you”
“Do you want to notify Hu Ge?”
“Why notify him? The light bulb is not brought, just the three of us”
“……”
Bai Lu was so excited that he couldn’t sleep well the whole night when he learned that he was going to fly to the United States with his boss.
Jiang Shuying was envious when she learned about this.
However, after learning about the box office of”Lucy” in the United States,
Jiang Shuying’s heart soon became hot again.
The boss was a god.
As long as he could please him, he would be able to dominate the domestic entertainment industry in the future?!
She quickly sent a WeChat message to Su Cheng:
“Boss, the new black silk stockings have arrived.”
“Do you want to tear it off?” He also thoughtfully attached a few pictures.
Beautiful legs in black stockings.
Tempting jade feet.
But unexpectedly, Da Mimi saw it.
Da Mimi stared at Su Cheng’s V note to Jiang Shuying angrily:
【Jiang Shuying/Height 168cm/Splits in the air/Good at learning/Top-notch skills]
She angrily said,”What do you mean by top-notch skills?!”
My rating is only top-notch!!
Am I not passionate enough?!
Su Cheng said calmly,”It means literally.”
Da Mimi gritted her teeth and said,”Isn’t this Jiang Shuying your agent?”
“yes”
“Are you still a human being? You don’t even let your agent go!!”
“Isn’t sleeping with your agent a common practice in the entertainment industry?”
“Where is the routine?!!”
“Guo Fucheng and Xiaomei, Xiao Jingteng and Lin Youhui”
“Who is Lin Youhui?”
“Xiao Jingteng’s agent”
“Are they having an affair?”
“necessary”
“how do you know?”
“Because I know everything about the entertainment industry.” (To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
“I almost got confused by you.”
Da Mimi glared at him,”If you sleep with your agent, then there are also people who sleep with their assistants. Do you want to do the same?”……”
At this point, she came to her senses,”I was wondering why you found a young, pretty girl with a great figure as your assistant. Turns out you were planning to train her?!”
“I won’t admit it until I get my hands on it.”
Su Cheng. Xiao Yang Emoticon Pack,”I’m suing you for slandering me.”
“I will bite you to death!!”
Big Mimi was so angry that she started to bite.
Su Cheng thought that biting was wrong.
If you want to bite, you should bite separately.
So he taught her a lesson without any courtesy.
I won’t mention the teaching process.
I know that the readers don’t like it.
Anyway,[]
Women can’t be spoiled.
After being taught a lesson, she became much more obedient.
Two days passed in a flash.
Su Cheng took Da Mimi and Bai Lu on a flight to Los Angeles, USA.
After two days of screening
《The cumulative box office of”Lucy” in the United States has successfully exceeded 10 million US dollars!!
Compared with Hollywood blockbusters, this result is not outstanding.
But, if compared with Chinese-language movies, it is quite eye-catching!!
It was released only a week ago
《The box office of”Lucy” is enough to enter the top ten Chinese-language films in North America.
It just happens to be stuck at the tenth place!!
When domestic netizens learned of this news, they immediately went wild!!
“Holy crap, is Lucy so popular in the US?!”
“What will the final box office be? It won’t exceed”Hero”, right?!”
“10 million dollars is only about 60 million Chinese Yuan, is it a lot? Lucy is already 7.4 in China!!”
“Is the person above really stupid or just pretending to be stupid? That is the North American market, the most exclusive market in the world!!”
“Xenophobia? Isn’t the United States very free and tolerant?”
“I laughed. Which public intellectuals have brainwashed you? The United States is tolerant? Let me talk about movies. Americans are the most arrogant and hate to read subtitles. Therefore, foreign movies that can achieve good results in the United States are basically dominated by English dubbing!!”
“In such an environment, Lucy earned 10 million dollars in its first week. Do you understand its value?!”
“Brother, stop showing off your superiority and just speak up! I will still show off in front of my friends after listening to you!!”
“Just look at the box office rankings and you will know that there are only nine Chinese-language films with higher box office in North America than”Lucy”, and”Lucy” has only been released for a week, so it will at least climb to third place, and may even knock”Hero” off second place…….”
“《How much is the box office of”Hero” in North America?”
“53 million dollars!!”
“《Hero” is so strong?”
“Otherwise, why do you think Jet Li dared to ask for a salary of 100 million?”
“《If the box office of”Lucy” exceeds that of”Hero” in North America, can Yang Mi also ask for 100 million yuan?”
“No, because anyone with a discerning eye can see that Lucy sold well in North America because director Su Cheng is awesome!!”
“Which Chinese-language movie is the top-grossing movie in North America? Will Lucy surpass it?”
“《Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, made $130 million in North America, and it is unlikely that Lucy will surpass it.”
In the next week, domestic netizens paid special attention to the North American box office market.
On Monday, the number of theaters showing Lucy expanded to 1,500, but the single-day box office only increased by about 1 million, closing at $5.
26 million.
Netizens were very nervous, fearing that Lucy’s excellent box office performance in North America was just a flash in the pan.
But soon, netizens who knew the business popularized that it was normal for the box office to be sluggish on weekdays.
Didn’t you see that the movies in the same period were also sluggish? Lucy was shown in 1,500 theaters, but the box office was higher than that of Hollywood blockbusters in 2,500 theaters, ranking first in a single show!!
On Tuesday, the number of theaters showing Lucy expanded to 1,800, and the single-day box office also exceeded $6 million for the first time, closing at 6.
32 million dollars.
On Wednesday, the single-day box office of”Lucy” fell by 5.
66 million dollars.
On Thursday, the single-day box office fell again, falling to 5.
13 million dollars.
Until Friday.
Some netizens who like to climb over the wall to access the Internet found that Su Cheng and Yang Mi appeared on the popular talk show”The Ellen Show” on CBS TV in the United States.
In this episode, Su Cheng replicated Li Xiaolong’s two signature moves in front of the camera: two-finger push-ups.
Inch-force punch, a punch knocked a 300-pound fat man several meters away.
A visually impactful display of kung fu.
It quickly made Chinese kung fu a hot search.
It became the hottest term of the day on Twitter and Facebook!!
Americans shouted”unbelievable
“、”It’s fake, it must be fake”, but he couldn’t control his legs and walked into the cinema.
This also made the single-day box office of”Lucy” rebound on Friday, and exceeded 7 million dollars for the first time!!
What’s more terrifying is the following weekend.
Saturday: 844 dollars.
Sunday: 10.32 million dollars.
So far. After two weeks of screening,”Lucy” has reached a North American box office of 52.01 million dollars, just one step away from surpassing”Hero”!!
Zhang Yimou accepted an exclusive interview with the Sixth Princess on this day.
He congratulated Su Cheng very generously:
“《Lucy is a very good commercial film. Judging from the scale of investment alone, Su Cheng has achieved the limit of 1.1 of this scale. Only those who have been directors know how strong his level is.”
“《The great success of”Lucy” in North America has also successfully proved that excellent movies are enough to break the international aesthetic barriers.”
“I am looking forward to the next installment of Lucy. I have a feeling that it will be an amazing science fiction masterpiece!!”
Li An, who is developing in the United States, also noticed this Chinese film.
After watching it, he accepted an interview with the Los Angeles Times.
In the interview, he praised Su Cheng’s sense of rhythm and artistic storyboard design in Lucy.
Finally, he said with great admiration:
“Many American viewers may not know that Su Cheng was only 21 years old when he filmed this movie. Even now, he is not yet 22 years old.”
“This movie grossed over 100 million US dollars in China, the highest box office achievement for a Chinese movie.”
“And now, this movie has received an excellent box office of more than 50 million dollars in North America.”
“I hope more viewers can get to know the outstanding Chinese filmmakers through this movie……”
Americans are very xenophobic.
But at the same time, they are crazy about personal heroism.
This interview with Li An successfully enriched the image of Su Cheng in the minds of Americans:
21 years old – young.
Knows the mysterious Chinese Kung Fu – strong.
The movie he directed is the first in Chinese film history, and sold more than 50 million dollars in North America – talented and rich.
Su Cheng, who is behind the scenes, became more famous in the United States overnight than Da Mimi, the heroine of”Lucy”…..
This also made”Lucy” get a good result of 28.65 million dollars in the third week of its release in North America!!
In the fourth week, although it dropped significantly, it still won 20.24 million dollars.
So far, the North American box office has exceeded 100 million dollars!!
