Chapter 629 Word-of-mouth box office hits double ([-] updates per day, please subscribe~)

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night for many people.

"Ghost Love" and "Back to the Future 3" were released on the same day, which also means that the struggle between Phantom Entertainment and the Jewish community in Hollywood has entered a fierce stage. Everyone wants to see whether it is Phantom Entertainment This upstart shines brightly, but the Jewish circle in Hollywood is still strong.

This battle can even be said to affect the changes in the future of Hollywood.

All the bosses of the production companies are waiting for the box office of the first day of the movie.

But now there is no e-mail at all. Everyone can only stand in front of the phone and wait for their own people to tell the answer.

Wu Jianye didn't take a break either. He was sitting in his study, waiting for Johnson's call.

Zhu Zhuan gently opened the door, and saw Wu Jianye sitting in the study, with some cigarette butts in the ashtray on the desk, and a half-burned cigarette in his hand.

"Are you worried?" Zhu Zhuo put the tea in his hand in front of Wu Jianye.

Wu Jianye showed a reassuring smile and said, "No, if you don't stay here and watch, Johnson's call will be on the phone in a while, but he can't stop sleeping!"

Zhu Zhuan blamed: "If you don't worry, just smoke less!"

Wu Jianye nodded and said, "Find a time to quit smoking!"

Zhu Juan looked at Wu Jianye in disbelief, and said, "Can you quit smoking?"

Zhu Yan knew how much Wu Jianye was addicted to smoking. In fact, Wu Jianye didn't smoke very often.

"It should be possible!" Wu Jianye himself was not sure, so he asked with a smile, "Where's Li Xiuming?"

Zhu Zhuo said: "I've already rested, and she was worried about you at first, but you know her current body, staying up late is not good!"

"Yeah!" Wu Jianye nodded, now Li Xiuming is eight months pregnant, and there are doctors in the manor 24 hours a day to ensure her safety.

The two sat on the sofa in the study room, and Wu Jianye asked, "How is it? I haven't accompanied you for a stroll during the time you've been here. Are you still used to the environment here?"

Zhu Yan smiled and said: "It's okay, now I study English with the teacher every day, it's quite fulfilling, and I don't have much time to go out for a walk!"

Although Zhu Zhu has a certain level of foreign language skills, it is limited to the most basic daily communication. This time, for the filming of "Jurassic Park", there will be a large section of English dialogue, and there will also be a lot of professional vocabulary. These are Zhu Zhu need to learn.

"Why don't I take you out after the release of "The Love of Ghosts" stabilizes?" Wu Jianye suggested.

Zhu Zhu shook his head, did not agree with Wu Jianye's proposal, and said: "Let's forget it, she is due to give birth in two months, and you have to hurry up with the movie "Jurassic Park" It's time to prepare, how can there be time!"

Wu Jianye smiled wryly, the nature of their work also caused them to not be like ordinary couples, who often go out for a trip or something.

"Wait a little longer. After two years, my plan is almost done. Let's go out and have a good time."

Zhu Zhuo looked at Wu Jianye curiously, and asked, "I've always been curious, what is your plan?"

Although the two have been married for many years and have Wu Nianyi, Zhu Zhu has never seriously asked what Wu Jianye's plan is.

Wu Jianye smiled and said: "It's actually very simple. I hope Huaxia's movies can go to the world sooner!"

Zhu Zhu looked at Wu Jianye in surprise, "It's easy, do you know what's going on in China now?"

Although he is not sensitive to politics, as one of the hottest actresses in China, Zhu Zhuo is quite clear about some things.

Wu Jianye said confidently: "This is just the darkness before dawn, just wait for the past two years!"

Zhu Yan asked in disbelief, "Really?"

It is estimated that there is no one in the world who is more clear about the future of the domestic film market than Wu Jianye. With the end of the last turmoil, the country will firmly follow the path of reform and opening up, and the film industry will also take advantage of this spring breeze , began to usher in its own era of rapid development in 93.

Although there will be some detours in the middle, these detours are not given by the general trend. According to Wu Jianye's current influence, he can completely avoid these detours.

"Don't worry, it will come true!"

Zhu Jue glanced at Wu Jianye, and said with some distress: "But this will be very tiring!"

Wu Jianye: "It's okay, I always have to find something to do for myself, and strive to retire and enjoy life before the age of 50!"

Zhu Zhuo said with some longing: "Really?"

Wu Jianye nodded, "Of course, when the time comes, I will take you to travel around the world!"

When Zhu Zhu heard the word "men", he pinched Wu Jianye angrily.
Jingle Bell!
At this time the phone rang.

Wu Jianye glanced at Zhu Yan with a smile, and said, "Did you see, the call is coming!"

After speaking, he walked over to pick up the phone, and Johnson's excited voice came from the other side of the phone, "Wu, 1736 million US dollars, 1736 million US dollars!"

The first-day box office of "Ghost Love" came out, 1736 million US dollars!
Although this data does not look very beautiful, but considering that their opponent is "Back to the Future 3", a movie with a strong audience, and the previous discussion on the movie "Ghost Love" in the United States, this The box office is enough to satisfy Wu Jianye.

And the most important thing is that this movie surpassed the first-day box office of 1219 million US dollars when it was released in another time and space!
I believe that with the word-of-mouth fermentation of the movie "The Love of Ghosts" in the later period, it will bring better box office for this movie.

"You should be unhappy!" Wu Jianye said with a smile.

Looking at the box office on the first day now, if nothing unexpected happens, the North American box office of the movie "The Love of Ghosts" will definitely exceed [-] million. Won!

On the other end of the phone, Johnson's expression froze, yes, he should be unhappy, why so happy?

Johnson who didn't want to understand said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, anyway, our movie can do well at the box office!"

Wu Jianye chuckled and asked, "How is the box office of "Back to the Future 3"?"

When it came to the box office of "Back to the Future 3", Johnson's voice was a little lost, and said: "It surpassed our box office, which is 1930 million US dollars!"

Wu Jianye nodded, the box office is acceptable, after all, "Back to the Future 3" has the first two movies to give him the bottom line.

"Don't be disappointed, this is just the beginning, and the rest is the most important thing!" Wu Jianye said.

"Well, I know, I just got the news that the audience watching the movie over there is not very optimistic about this movie, and we are very likely to make a comeback for them in the future!" Johnson also said seriously.

"Okay, I know the box office, let's go to rest!" Wu Jianye said, in order to wait for Johnson's call, it was already past 2 o'clock in the morning.

Before Johnson could reply, Wu Jianye hung up the phone and took Zhu Zhuan back to his room to rest.

The next day, Wu Jianye woke up, and today's newspaper had already been delivered.

Sitting in the living room, Wu Jianye looked at today's newspapers and magazines. The news about the entertainment section was naturally the columns about the two movies "Ghost Love" and "Back to the Future 3".

"A terrific film, sincere and spiritual, with impeccable performances by the four main actors, and a gripping story. There is a soft, rich quality to the picture, a fairytale that makes you want to believe, and there's no gags in it overshadowed by comedy." --San Francisco Chronicle

"The love affair between the hero and the heroine in "Ghost Love" will move everyone. Its appearance can be said to be a major event in the Hollywood film industry, because it makes the United States addicted to bloody violence and abnormal sexual chaos. The audience feels refreshed, and maybe people should re-examine some kind of love around them or themselves." -- "Time Magazine"

Obviously, the movie "Ghost Love" first conquered these film critics in North America.

At the same time, Martin Lloyd also published his own review of the movie in the newspaper!

"First of all, I want to apologize to Director Wu. Before that, I, like many Americans, thought that Director Wu's films would encounter unacceptable conditions in North America. Only after the movie did I know what a real genius is. Linda, the president of Phantom Entertainment, and Jiang Zhiqiang, the president of Fengge Media, why they admire Director Wu so much.

In my eyes, there is almost no problem with this movie. For ordinary audiences, this is a simple movie that evokes everyone's yearning for beautiful love. For professional film practitioners, this movie The movie seems to have opened another door to us. It turns out that simple stories can be so moving. In this movie, it seems that Director Wu did not use various complicated narrative methods, but he was able to tell the story in a simple timeline. Inside, telling the story is unforgettable at a glance.
I conclude that this will be a classic work, and "The Love of Ghosts" will not disappoint every audience.This love story film with sci-fi flavor, "Human and Ghost Love" deeply touched the hearts of the audience.The hero Sam said a word: "When I feel happy, what I fear most is to lose it." Perhaps it is this sentence that sets the tone of the following film and the development of the plot.

The film uses the sequential structure of time and space, and the story develops according to the development of time. Therefore, the order of time and space transformation in "Human Ghosts" is arranged according to the order of the story and the occurrence of events.

At the beginning of the film, a noise started the development of the film. The messy scenes, weird pictures, an irregular lighting, and ghostly music made the beginning of the film full of weird atmosphere.The narrowness of time and space at this time makes people feel uneasy and depressing.This is the foreshadowing of the early stage, laying the groundwork for the development of the story
The first scene of the film is a description of the relationship between the hero Mori, his girlfriend Molly and their good friend, the second male Carl.The film has several long shots.At this time, the use of long lens has several layers.
In the next scene, the scene where Mori and Molly are making pottery must be mentioned. It is the various factors in this scene that affect the development of the story. The most worth mentioning is the use of music in this scene.
At this time, the director used the expressive technique of psychological montage, created an atmosphere with pottery and music, aroused people's associations, and thus achieved the director's purpose of expressing the story.
Later in the story, the music of "Ghost Love" also appeared, so that when Sam borrowed the body of a female psychic to meet Molly again, the use of music could echo each other back and forth. People's thinking travels back and forth in time and space.

In the next scene, Sam and Molly see the crash on TV, which is a metaphorical montage used.
The development of the story unfolded in such twists and turns
In addition, it should be mentioned that the director fully embodies the spirit of good people going to heaven and bad people going to hell in the film.Perhaps this is the idea of ​​all kind people. After the robbers and Karl died, they were dragged into hell, which also sounded the death knell for the evildoers and aroused people's love and kindness.

The story of "Ghost Love" is not complicated, but I think "Ghost Love" is the key to capture the true feelings. Of course, various montage techniques and the ingenious transformation of time and space have constructed a wonderful film. The use of atmosphere and montage is just right, especially the switching of various time and space in the film, the different time and space where people and ghosts live, this is the difficulty and key part of the film processing.The director used different perspectives, different scenes, and made careful arrangements.In the end, the time-space transformation of the film became the most exciting part of the film.Humans and ghosts exist in different time and space, which provides us with a reference for the time and space transformation of our own films in the future. "

This film review by Martin Lloyd is very long. By the time Wu Jianye finished reading it, he had already finished his breakfast, and Zhu Juan and Li Xiuming also read this film review.

Li Xiuming stroked his stomach and said with a smile: "This Martin Lloyd really admires this movie, I want to watch everything I say!"

Wu Jianye smiled and said, "If you want to watch it, I'll ask the company to send over a plate of negatives, and you can watch it in the theater at home!"

Zhu Zhuan and Li Xiuming nodded happily. Zhu Zhuan wanted to learn English, and Li Xiuming wanted to raise a baby with peace of mind. Naturally, the two of them had no way to go to the theater to enjoy the movie. Now Wu Jianye wanted the company to bring it over, so it was natural to watch it at home. It couldn't be better.

"Then you come back to watch with us at night!" Zhu Zhuo smiled.

Wu Jianye: "Okay!"

Today Wu Jianye is going to Phantom Entertainment. One is that the word-of-mouth of "Human and Ghost Love" is very good, overwhelming "Back to the Future 3". Naturally, Phantom Entertainment will continue to intensify its promotion work.

At the same time, Wu Jianye also wanted to ask about the preparatory work for "Jurassic Park". This movie is different from other movies. Sales of peripheral products for the movie.

Since Phantom Entertainment wants to be a media group, it must not simply focus on box office revenue!
