New York 1988

Chapter 173 A Little Wild (Please Subscribe)
"Pirates of the Caribbean" was opened in 3269 theaters in the original time and space. In this time and space, Han Sheng didn't get too many theaters, 3565 theaters.

Then, in the original time and space, on the first day of its release, "Pirates of the Caribbean" did not score particularly well in a single theater.

Then, it came out on Wednesday, a super long five-day weekend.

Therefore, if it is counted as the five-day weekend box office, it is 7019 million box office.

However, if you only count the three days of the weekend, it is only 4663 million dollars, which is neither good nor bad.

After all, it was 2003 at that time, like "Harry Potter", "Lord of the Rings" and so on, it is commonplace to get 5000 million in three days on weekends, and then it is not a problem to get more than [-] million a day.

And now, it's only 1999.

However, the quality of the film itself is very good, especially Han Sheng's blessing is not a joke, unlike the original time and space, the biggest Johnny Depp, who used to be just an actor famous for his performances in cult movies. Not much appeal.

So, on July 7nd, the first day of Friday, the single hall’s score was 2 dollars, and the total box office of that day was 10621 dollars. Then, the next day was Saturday, and the single hall’s box office rose a lot on this day. It was 3786 dollars, and then the number of theaters became 12019. Therefore, the box office of the day directly exceeded 3692 million dollars, reaching 4000 million dollars.

Until the 4th, because it is a double holiday on the National Day weekend, otherwise the original Sunday would have dropped a lot, but this one did not, and still received 4285 million knives.

In the three days of the weekend, a total of 1 million knives were collected.

This is another record in this time and space. Now only the first part of "Harry Potter" has come out. In May of this year, it won 5 million box office in three days on weekends, but it still did not exceed 8911 million dollars.

As for Han Sheng, finally a film surpassed 1 million knives in three days over the weekend.

Moreover, this time it exceeded a full 2500 million.

It was also at this time that all voices of doubt were gone, and all that was left was praises, praises for his invincibility, magic, and performances.

Among the films released at the same time, "Fake Dad" is Sony's. It was launched last week, that is, June 6-25, and it got 27 million dollars in three days on the weekend. However, this week, it was directly cut in half.

Well, in the original time and space, it was cut in half and only got 2012 million, but this time and space is even worse, directly dropped to only 1515 million, a drop of more than 60%, which is the reason for the box office squeeze effect.

Then, "Wild West" starring Will Smith was still produced and distributed by Warner, and it was released a day earlier than "Pirates of the Caribbean". How can I say that the current chairman of Warner later merged Warner with News Online The dude is an idiot, he thinks the pirate movie will be over, so he takes a gamble.

Now it's good, 3343 theaters opened, and in the original time and space, at least it got a box office of 2709 million dollars. After all, Will Smith is there, isn't it?

At that time, when Will Smith met Han Sheng, it was miserable. He only got 1807 million dollars. Some people have a brain hole, and he said that the schedule must be changed, but they just insist on going their own way.

Actors are not saying that everything will be fine after the filming.

Only when the box office is good can we continue to have more film contracts, and can get more film remuneration, and even dividends. In short, "Wild West" will be over at first glance, and Will Smith is naturally very unhappy with Warner.

Otherwise, he has never failed in these years, and his salary is already 2000 plus 5% of the box office.

Unlike "Tarzan of the Apes", "Notting Hill", or even "Star Wars: The Phantom Menace", George Lucas originally planned to put it on the National Day file in July. It's time, and it will be released three weeks in advance.

"Notting Hill" is Beyond's own film, but instead of starring Julia Roberts, it was replaced by Jennifer Connelly, and it was released five weeks in advance, at the end of May.

This movie was a blockbuster in the original time and space, the schedule is okay, and it is naturally still popular. Jennifer Connelly is getting more and more popular now. Nicole Kidman and Nicole Kidman are the two hottest female stars in Hollywood, and the salary is 2000 Thousands of dollars.

Jennifer Aniston put it in the TV series "Friends", which she invested more than half of, earning at least hundreds of millions of dollars a year, and not to mention the future copyright.

Charles Theron became popular with "Tomb Raider", but he can only get about 1000 million, after all, he is still young.

……

"Pirates of the Caribbean" took in 1 million in the first weekend. Although it dropped by almost 2509% in the second week, it also got a box office of 30.00 million, which was similar to the drop in the original time and space.

Then, in the third week, the drop was very small this time, only less than 20.00%, and it received a box office of 7361 million dollars. In the fourth week, it fell more, almost 40.00%, and it received a box office of 4215 million dollars.

Although I am used to fighting for the first week now, and there are very few long-term sales, but in just four weeks, "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl" won a box office of 3.27 million.

Overseas, it has now exceeded 5 million knives, which means that the global box office has now exceeded 8 million knives, which is very close to the 10 billion knives that Han Sheng said.

Therefore, many people predict that the final box office should be about 15 billion dollars, so, undoubtedly, this is another hugely successful movie. The problem is that this is still a series.

In fact, when the box office came out in the first weekend, Han Sheng had already prepared the second and third filming.

After filming last year, the preparations for the sequel have been going on. After all, he has said that even if it fails, he will shoot the sequel, so the pre-production preparations have already been almost done.

St. Vincent, the previous filming location, is still retained, and places such as Dominica have been added, and several small islands have also been added. In short, just like the original time and space, the budget has increased a lot, including the actors' remuneration.

Kelly Brook originally earned $100 million for a film, because she is a pure newcomer and young. This time, she directly took $1000 million. Of course, part of it was Han Sheng's red envelope.

Everything else has improved to some extent, even if it is a supporting role, it is a barley film after all.

Because there are still hurricanes and the like in the Caribbean during this period of time, Han Sheng is still scheduled after September. He doesn't want to be like the original time and space, patting and patting and stopping when encountering a hurricane, wasting time and money for nothing. Money, and a waste of everyone's energy.

Especially for an actor's performance, it is actually very difficult to jump out of the situation and then enter the role again, otherwise it is the kind of scum that can't act at all.

"The surrounding area is very popular!"

Nothing happened for now, Han Sheng stayed in the company to do other things, Tess came in with some documents, and handed him one of them.

It's about the peripherals of Pirates of the Caribbean, including Captain Spyro's hat, various decorations, swords, and even clothes. In short, because the box office is good, the peripherals are especially good.

Well, next year's "The Matrix" will be a big hit.

Just like in the original time and space, after the release of "Pirates of the Caribbean", in addition to the box office, other various revenues, including peripherals, DVDs, TV copyrights, etc., exceeded 10 billion dollars a year, this time and space is even more fierce.

Han Sheng took a look at it casually. In just over a month, the surrounding area has sold more than 1 million knives. This thing is a huge profit. In the end, the profit was more than 7000 million, or even close to 8000 million.

Unlike the box office, which sold more than 3 million yuan, it was about 1.5 million yuan in the end. This is because according to the contract he signed with the theater, the share in the first few weeks will be high, and the reason for the follow-up will be reduced.

Otherwise, there will be less.

So, for a movie, the movie box office is more like an advertisement, which proves that my movie is awesome, and then I can pass the high box office and make money from other crazy ways.

"Buying peripherals, Victoria is the best!" Han Sheng smiled and hugged Tess into his arms.

After so many years, he liked this girl more and more, although she was no longer a girl.

Tess also giggled, "Actually, if sister Victoria hadn't thought about selling merchandise to make money back then, you wouldn't have become popular so quickly, and you wouldn't have gained a foothold so quickly!"

"That's what she told you," Han Sheng sniffed her neck greedily, "Do you know how she came to YOU ​​to seduce me back then, and then she came to find out that the merchandise was crazy? Mine, at first I was thinking of fooling me, asking me to sign for ten or eight years, unfortunately, I understand!"

"Is that so?" Tess heard this for the first time.

He also joked, "You shouldn't be able to bear it casually, she's like that!"

"I was only fifteen at that time," Han Sheng chuckled, "Well, the main reason is that I can see that she has no good intentions. Er, a stranger is still a woman, it's very dangerous!"

Tess giggled, "Are you afraid of women?"

"I'm most afraid of women, but men are fine!"

The two chatted so intimately, and when they got off work, they drove home together.

After half a month of very leisurely days, he played wildly as a demon in various homes in Los Angeles. At the end of August, when he was about to leave, he slowly collected some thoughts and came back.

……

"The "Fast and Furious" series will be a very long series. I have already written seven or eight scripts." Han Sheng casually handed the new fruit notebook to Charles Theron, "However, what's in it Female characters are all soy sauce, if you like it, you can play it well!"

"But I don't have a very good notebook right now," Charles Theron twisted on him coquettishly, "Why don't you write me a notebook!"

"Then I have time. I'm not free now. I'm going to get busy soon!" Han Sheng patted her cheek lovingly, "You also know that "Pirates of the Caribbean" is going to be filmed, or two consecutive films. shoot."

"Hmph, why didn't you choose me back then? You were just because of the fat lamp of that damn girl, Kelly. I, I have long legs!"

"It was my mistake, I will make it up to you in the future, I promise," Han Sheng couldn't say that she was a little old, otherwise he would be beaten.

Calm down, after she left, Han Sheng carefully thought about the suitable role for her. To be honest, in Hollywood, there are really not many roles suitable for actresses to shine, and the role of the leading heroine is only later. Scarlett Johansson's "Super Body" and the like.

Coincidentally, as soon as she thought of Scarlett Johansson, the girl ran in from the outside bouncing around.

"Why are you here?" Han Sheng asked curiously. The question is, did this girl come with her mother?

"Come and play, I'm fine anyway!" Scarlett Johansson ran to him and looked at him, "It's hard for a young actor like me to find a job, unless someone can write one for me!"

Han Shengyile, you are so embarrassed to speak up and write a special one.

At her age, it's really not easy to write a notebook.

I was taken aback, by the way, this girl should not be long before she will star in "Lost in Translation". Look at her now, it has only been more than a year, and she has really grown up. Girls from the West have reached a certain age. Age, that's really inflated, and obviously, so is this girl.

It's not as bloated as the later ones, but it's also very graceful and hot.

By the looks of it, it's already familiar.

He didn't change his expression, just smiled, "Don't you have to go to class?"

"I hate reading." Like all girls in Hollywood, Scarlett Johansson, who was born as a child star, reads less.

Han Sheng has no intention of persuading her to study more, otherwise she will be regarded as an uncle, old stubborn, etc. Well, a little older, that's how those younger guys see it.

Even if he is not really old.

"And what about your mother, Melanie?"

"She just joined the crew of a TV series. By the way, it seems to be from your company. It's called "Desperate Housewives"!" Scarlett Johansson rolled her eyes cutely, "She likes it so much, she said she must do it well, Then I'm so busy with this every day, I don't have time to care about me!"

"You're not too young!" Han Sheng said casually.

"Yes, I have grown up!" A child is very eager to grow up, and also very much hopes that others will admit that she has grown up.

Only when you are older will you know that it is good to be young, and children are carefree.

However, what Han Sheng didn't expect was that Scarlett Johansson suddenly clutched his chest, "Oh, it hurts!" Then she grabbed his hand and said, "Aren't you a doctor, show me!"

Good guy, she is really wild enough.

In other words, young people these days are really getting more and more wild. Two days ago, Anne Hathaway, who finished filming "The Princess Diaries", was also doing all kinds of monsters. Fortunately, at that time, he was busy attacking the fairies at home. , not available at all.

"My doctor's fees are very expensive. Do you have money?" Han Shengle asked, "You should know that I usually treat all kinds of bankers, big bosses of companies, or the governor, and the owner of the white house. What, most people don't watch it!"

"Cut, stingy!" Scarlett Johansson curled her lips, and then climbed directly onto him.

Sitting on his lap, with a strange light shining in his eyes, he looked extremely bold, and said: "I have money, please show me first!" Then he opened it by himself.

This is in summer, just the outer floor.

……

In early September, the second installment of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series, "Dead Man's Chest" and the third installment "At World's End", started their journey in St. Vincent again.

Because it is basically an old team, and all the preparations have been done, everything went smoothly. It is a little different from the two-year filming in the original time and space. Han Sheng finished the filming directly in one go.

直接从9月拍到了次年的3月下旬的22号，除了中间的圣诞新年假期修习了差不过10天，总共花了足足6个月才完成了两部电影的拍摄。

Next, is the long post-production, especially the special effects, which will probably not be released until next year.

However, after the filming was over, Han Sheng didn't have time to take a good rest, because not only did he have to carry out many plans for this year, but he also had to attend the Oscar awards ceremony.

This year, although "Pirates of the Caribbean" is not a particularly big nominee, it also has best makeup, best sound editing, best visual effects and best sound mixing, and he has one of the most important nominations for best actor .

On March 2000, 3, the 26nd Academy Awards Ceremony was held at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles.

Han Sheng was nominated again after two years.

Last time, he swept everything with "Titanic", so this time, even if he can't sweep, because there are only a few nominations, but there are still expectations for him in the market, it's very simple, that is The fourth best actor trophy, achieving No.1 in men.

As for why it is not No.1 in Hollywood, it is very simple. Katharine Hepburn, the eldest sister, has won four Oscars.

So, even if you get it this time, it's just the same as Katherine Hepburn, and you can't dominate yet.

"I think you can definitely get it!" Jennifer Connelly was tieing his tie intimately like a little wife.

"That's not necessarily true, Kevin Spacey is also very good," Han Sheng said, referring to the actor in "American Beauty", and later the actor in "House of Cards", in the original time and space, this is the one who won the best actor .

Jennifer Connelly also won the nomination for Best Actress by virtue of this movie, but it was probably just a nomination, even though Han Sheng and Spielberg and other Jewish people supported her and spent a lot of money, But her performance is not so amazing.

Of course, I dare not say it now.

"He did act well, but he's not as subversive as you!" Jennifer Connelly started working on her skirt after finishing her work.

Han Sheng ran over to help her.

"Don't make trouble," Jennifer Connelly expressed dissatisfaction with him holding the skirt honestly at first, and then began to act dishonestly when she was about to wear it, and punched him several times.

It's just that, seeing him so greedy and fond of him, I'm actually quite happy in my heart.

A woman looks like someone who pleases herself, she is almost 30 years old, especially when she sees those young girls acting like monsters, she will feel a sense of crisis.

Fortunately, this villain has always doted on her.

Naturally leaning towards him to make him feel more at ease, and teasing him lightly, he immediately jumped up when he saw him, giggling, "Bastard, you really have unlimited energy...!"

Han Sheng said that if you don't have some skills in subduing demons and eliminating demons, it's not good.
