Made in Hollywood

"what?"

Hearing what the agent said on the phone, Dawn Johnson couldn't help standing up and touching his bald head, "Is Nancy Josephson trying to poach me?"

"Dawn!" the agent emphasized on the phone, "If she wants to poach you, will she contact me first? She found me on behalf of a person who intends to let you appear in his next film .”

With a vague guess in his heart, Dawn Johnson asked subconsciously, "Who does she represent?"

"Of course it is her biggest client, the most famous director in Hollywood."

Having said that, the manager stopped being a joke and gave the answer directly, "Duke Rosenberg wants you to audition for his next film."

Hearing the latter sentence, Dwayne Johnson didn't even think about it, and said, "Next! I don't care what type of role this is or what I need to pay, you have to do it for me!"

Although the appearance is very strong, it looks like the type without brains, but Dwayne? A person truly succeeds.

However, this success is only relative.

For example, in "Fast and Furious 5" that will be released next week, his role is not important, and he was suppressed by the dead bald head from the beginning to the end of the crew.

Dwayne Johnson is very clear about what it means to take on Duke Rosenberg's film and what he can bring to himself.

As for David? Ellison and "Fast and Furious 5" crew will think? Are you worthy of that dead bald head? It's not in his consideration at all.

Gal Gadot, an old member of the original "Fast and Furious" crew, did not participate in "Fast and Furious 5". There have been rumors in the circle that she embraced the thighs of ICM and Duke Rosenberg, and was working for a Prepare for the role, and look down on the inconspicuous little supporting role in "Fast and Furious 5".

In the eyes of Dwayne Johnson, Gail Gadot is a lucky one, and now he also has a chance to be a lucky one.

Collaboration with Duke Rosenberg. That was definitely the dream opportunity for every wannabe in Hollywood.

"Wait, Dawn."

The manager's voice sounded again, "That's a villain, the villain in the film!"

Dwayne Johnson still didn't hesitate, "After this audition, I want you to do everything possible. Help me get this role."

After hanging up the phone, Dwayne Johnson put away his cell phone and sat back on the sofa. His eyes once again fell on the newspaper he was reading earlier, and a slight sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"David Ellison is simply wishful thinking. He really thinks that "Fast and Furious 5" can fight against "The Avengers" by hyping the news of the dead Vin Diesel's car accident?"

Look at the weekly North American box office bulletin on the newspaper. Dwayne Johnson is very sure this is a joke!

""The Avengers" made a strong debut with an unprecedented opening score of more than 200 million U.S. dollars. It reached the top without any suspense and at the same time greatly refreshed the record held by Duke Rosenberg's other film "The Dark Knight". A series of records such as the first weekend box office of US$92.26 million. Facing the power of the Avengers, no other new film dared to be released at the same time last week. It reached 271.21 million U.S. dollars. It is more than double the same period last year when "Inception" opened its summer file!"

"The top priority of last week's list is naturally "The Avengers", which officially debuted in North America. The film was fully launched in 4,480 theaters, and the average income of a single theater reached an astonishing US$50,000, and finally earned more than 200 million in three days 43.31 million US dollars, easily refreshed the box office record held by "The Dark Knight" in the opening weekend of the film."

"Also. While the $33.8 million midnight debut wasn't enough to beat wizard and vampire fans, Friday's $100.66 million made The Avengers a new first-day debut , Single-day box office and Friday box office three new records. And its two-day box office of 82.54 million US dollars on Saturday and 60.11 million US dollars on Sunday beat "The Dark Knight" and "Harry Potter and Death" respectively. "Under the Hallows", respectively ranked first in film history in a single-day box office on Saturday and Sunday; as the first film in film history to break through the US$200 million mark in the first weekend of its opening, this film naturally refreshed the fastest record of 1 100 million, 150 million and 200 million benchmarks.”

"At the same time, "The Avengers" has surpassed the total North American box office results of the three films "Thor", "Captain America" ​​and "Hulk", although the film is still temporarily behind the two "Iron Man". But it is only a matter of this week to achieve surpassing. Judging from the current situation of the film, it is only a matter of time before the North American box office finally breaks through 500 million U.S. dollars. Considering the highest score of A+ on CinemaScore, the goal of 600 million U.S. dollars is even within the film's range. within."

Seeing this, Dwayne Johnson has no choice but to feel that this film is simply amazing, and what kind of influence will the actors who starred in this film have in North America and even the world, and where will their salaries rise later? A level of terror?

Villain, what happened to the villain?

Don't talk about the clown, look at the villain of "The Avengers", Tom Hiddleston is definitely better than many Avengers!

Thinking of this, Dwayne Johnson's strong desire to get this opportunity through the audition seemed to be gushing out. He took a deep breath, suppressed his thoughts, and continued to watch this North American box office briefing.

"North American audiences rated the film at the highest level of A+. On the professional rating website, "Avengers" is also the winner. The IMDB score of this film is temporarily as high as 9.3 points, winning 93% freshness of Rotten Tomatoes and 87 points MetaCritic Media Review."

"Several of the media gave full marks, and the New York Times said that the film 'contains sincere sadness, humor and surprise; in addition to being a standard comic book blockbuster, the film is also full of the director's unique sense of humor. The brushstrokes make everything in this film look perfect'; "Los Angeles Times" stated that "the most incredible point of the film is that it makes the superhero movie look new again, which is indeed a remarkable achievement"; "New York Post The Daily News also called director Duke Rosenberg the film's 'true hero: one that embodies both the passion of comic book fans and his deep understanding of the genre'."

"The media that did not give full marks also praised the film. "Entertainment Weekly" believed that 'the large-scale special effects scene in the streets of New York at the end of the film, no matter in which sense, it exploded'; "Rolling Stone" magazine Saying that director Duke Rosenberg is "the key to making this $200 million monster movie so exciting and vivid; it's so complex that viewers barely notice the nearly two-and-a-half-hour run time... ..."

"Empire magazine commented that 'the Avengers have assembled, and most of the time, Duke makes them blend very well. The right combination of heroism and humor makes the film maintain the unique characteristics of each hero. It also improves the overall quality of the film'."

"The Hollywood Reporter also praised 'director Duke Rosenberg and his colleagues for combining all the personalities and material so beautifully together, presenting a deja vu but still irresistible delicacy Feast'.

"Washington Post says 'The film manages to do just about everything superfans could ask for; with enough self-deprecating humor to make its adults in outlandish costumes seem believable'; USA Today Pointing out that 'Duke Rosenberg got the most out of each character - they might not get the same amount of time, but the audience felt satisfied. That's really smart.' .”

In fact, the box office that Dwayne Johnson is concerned about is only one aspect of the income of "The Avengers".

With the popularity of the movie, the heroic image of "The Avengers" has also become a favorite in the eyes of major businesses. In addition to authorizing theaters to take the lead in launching small gifts such as mugs and key chains to attract the attention of the audience, major Fast-selling clothing brands have also launched T-shirts with related characters, and the sales volume is quite amazing.

Others such as Q-version hero dolls, hero accessories U disk, Thor's hammer, Hawkeye's crossbow, Iron Man's mask... are all hot commodities on the derivative market.

The big sellers are not only the box office of the film, but peripheral products such as comics, dolls, toys, and character image licensing have also brought huge income to Marvel Comics. For one character image licensing, Marvel Comics has taken 350 million US dollars from all over the world!

At the same time, the statistics of "The Avengers" from various markets around the world have been successively transferred to Duke by Warner Bros., with almost no exceptions. Almost all the overseas markets where the film was released at the same time won the box office champion of the week. , and in China, South Korea, Hong Kong, Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and Russia, etc., all broke the original first-week box office records.

Especially in China, the performance of nearly 400 million RMB in three days of release almost stunned the filmmakers here. In their opinion, this is simply incredible.

Most of the current domestic films in China are set at 100 million RMB...

Only a few domestic films like "Let the Bullets Fly" can expect a box office of more than 400 million RMB.

Duke came to China not only to participate in the promotion of "The Avengers", but also to participate in a China-US film forum jointly organized by Warner Bros., 20th Century Fox and China Film Group. The forum was held in the newly opened Warner Fox big world. (to be continued ~^~)
