New York 1988

Chapter 197 "Legend - Bruce Lee" (for subscription)
In 2000, there were all kinds of millennium bugs, and the world was about to end.

It's 2012, and the prophecy that the world will end has come again, and it's still prophesied by the tall and powerful Mayans.

Han Sheng was just curious, the Mayans were so powerful, why did they prophesy, prophesy, and prophesy themselves.

Oh, went to an alien planet, that's no problem!

No matter how you say it, 2012 is here, and the destruction of the world is the hottest topic in recent times.

As for Han Sheng, he has no time to care about those guys who are full and have nothing to do. He finally finished the post-production of "Legend - Bruce Lee", and began to think about where to put the schedule.

"Just put it in July!"

Tess, on the other hand, was not as concerned as he was, "The summer schedule is not bad, not to mention, the end of the world in 2012, we have already booked "2012" starring Li Guohao in the Christmas file, it will be the most suitable time, and the box office will be easily harvested.

We can't compete between the two of us! "

As a small fan, Murphy is also very excited, "The shooting is great. I think this is the best biographical movie. It is rich in content but concise and smooth, fast-paced but full of dramatic tension, and the life fragments are very delicate. Warm, but professional and explosive in martial arts exchanges, and these themes surrounding the great heroes have always been set off very well.

Especially in terms of racial discrimination, Mr. Bruce Lee is really very tolerant. He makes friends with people of any skin color and teaches martial arts. He is a real master, a national scholar, and a true legend of a generation...! "

To be honest, it was mainly the first time that I worked as a screenwriter and director myself, without the standards of the original time and space or performance verification, it was a rare first time for Han Sheng to worry about gains and losses, or it is called lack of self-confidence.

But in fact, he is so smart, he has been in this business for more than 20 years, and he has already perfected his skills.

Therefore, seeing that both professionals, Tess and Murphy, recognized it, he no longer hesitated, "Then July?"

Then he made a joke, "I was originally planning to release it on Christmas, and by the way, I was preparing to start the awards season and hit the Oscars!"

"Isn't the Oscars easy?" Tess raised her eyebrows, full of confidence. In her opinion, this movie, which Han Sheng has been thinking about for more than 10 years and has been in preparation for more than three years, is definitely a master class. There is no suspense about winning an Oscar. .

What's more, with Han Sheng's current strength, it's easy for someone to spoil his good deeds.

……

After the release date was set, Beyond Entertainment announced soon.

July, I still say July, and it is the legend of Bruce Lee, Han Sheng's master.

And although it is a biopic, in fact, he is not dull and procrastinated at all, but has a lively rhythm and a smooth plot.

Then, ABC's "The Big Bang Theory" is a hit TV series, CBS's "Modern Family", and Netflix's "The Walking Dead", etc., all have "Legend - Bruce Lee" Various trailers, and social media such as Yahoo and Facebook, are also everywhere.

In short, regardless of whether it is offline or online, since May, there has been a frantic bombardment, and this is only Han Sheng's own media resources.

But enough, he really has too much.

Then, it can be seen from the trailer that the rhythm is fast, the plot is warm and funny, there are also conflicts and wildness, and then, almost all of them are closely related to one subject, we are friends, we are a family, no matter what skin color you are, We can all communicate, learn martial arts...!
Of course, what is indispensable is Bruce Lee's all kinds of explosive kung fu, especially Jeet Kune Do, that kind of punches like the wind, legs bursting like shadows, even if the time is very short, people who watch it are still excited...

Therefore, after the trailer came out, according to the survey, it was found that the vast majority of people expressed their interest, which is already a bit like a super hit movie.

In this way, it will soon be July.

At this time, the film began the final sprint.

Because July 7th is Wednesday, this is considered a super long weekend. Although people rarely count the box office of the super long weekend, and generally only count the three-day weekend, for publishers, the super long weekend means Super yield, super small money.

That is not comparable to an ordinary three-day weekend.

Therefore, it doesn't matter if the statistics are not counted. Many movies will put their schedules on the 4th day, and "Legend - Bruce Lee" is the same.

What's interesting is that this time it's Sony, and they're going to confront Han Sheng again. Or, to put it another way, they're a bit disgusted with Bruce Lee's film, and they deliberately moved the premiere of "The Amazing Spider-Man" one day earlier and put it on the 3rd. .

In this regard, Han Sheng's approach was to advance one day without hesitation.

If you Sony advance to the 2nd, then you are awesome.

This matter, Han Sheng also made people deliberately hype it up. Since the time when the Neon people deliberately targeted him, some people said that the Neon people have hatred for Bruce Lee and Jeet Kune Do, and the karate people always target Bruce Lee's apprentices and Jeet Kune Do Martial Arts.

In short, as soon as it is publicized now, some people start to smash rotten eggs at Sony, and even some people start to tell Neon people to go back to Neon.

Although the Neon people clarified immediately, they were still cast aside.

On the 2nd, for the premiere of "The Legend - Bruce Lee", Han Sheng invited almost all the big names he could. This represented Jeet Kune Do, or the inheritance of Chinese Kung Fu, no matter how grand it is.

Moreover, Tom Cruise, Michael Jackson, Will Smith and others all made guest appearances in the film, playing the roles of masters exchanging martial arts with Bruce Lee, and even acting as apprentices.

In short, this can be regarded as a star-studded.

Han Sheng also played the role. He played the role of his father, and he added a little bit of text, which is considered fictional.

Of course, it is impossible for a movie to be exactly the same as reality.

The media also flocked to it.

"Why do you film the legend of Bruce Lee, because he is your ancestor?"

"This is one reason, but you have already said that Mr. Bruce Lee is a legend. Although his life was short, he was great. At the same time, we all pay attention to the inheritance of Kung Fu. Master and apprentice, brothers, generations... !"

Han Sheng talked eloquently today, no matter how many questions came up, as long as they were not too much, he answered them all.

"Could you tell me about the conflict with Neon? It's said that you deliberately blackmailed them?"

"To be honest, do you think it is necessary for us to hack them? The big guys don't know what these guys are, so they don't deserve it!"

"Will everyone say that biopics are too streamlined, that is to say, it is difficult to present a wonderful picture?"

"No, you should have seen the trailer, right? I'm not just the trailer that's wonderful, but the feature film is rubbish. We're all wonderful, don't worry!" Han Sheng joked.

Everyone laughed. Fast food consumption is so important these days, and a lot of movies are starting to play tricks. The trailers are pretty well cut, but when Nima watched the movies, she found that there were all the wonderful shots in the trailers.

So there is a saying that the trailer is better than the movie.

He ran over to deal with the reporters at six o'clock, which was a rare situation for him in these years. At 06:30, after a short period of time, he went to greet the guests.

"It's so fast, is it the end of the world again?" Michael Jackson punched him, "You boy can't really age, Shet, I saw you 30 years ago, you seem to be this face ...!"

Han Sheng laughed, "It must still be this face, if it wasn't for this face, wouldn't it be a different person, that would be a big joke!"

"He said you are young, don't pretend to be confused," Brother Tom said with envy and hatred in his eyes, "Don't you know that you still look like 20 years old, Shet, they all say you are a monster, The devil, or the wizard...!"

"Why don't you say I'm a fairy?" Han Sheng said speechlessly, "How ugly is a wizard?"

"But won't you really grow old?" Michael Jackson could ask such a question for the second time, obviously he was really too envious.

Han Sheng really does not age. He is almost 40 years old, but he is still full of vitality. Even Elizabeth and Victoria can't stand the erosion of the years, and other women are the same, but he is different.

If Victoria and Elizabeth hadn't known what his life was like, they would have suspected him of hiding strange things.

Victoria, in particular, seemed eager.

Han Sheng can only blame it on the moment he crossed over, his food intake soared, his physical fitness soared, and his whole body seemed to have a direct genetic mutation.

But specifically, he really didn't know.

Therefore, regarding Michael Jackson's question, he also smiled helplessly, "There is no such thing, uh, I just exercise more!"

"Shet, I also exercised very hard," Michael Jackson objected.

He also pointed to Mark beside him, "Mark is your apprentice, he is only one year older than you, isn't he also very hard-working, but look at him, although he is still young, he is still in his 30s What about you, you look like his son...!"

Han Sheng laughed, "What's the matter, you guys want to fight with me just because of this?"

Brother Tom said in a low voice: "Also, although you seldom have new girlfriends recently, but your girlfriend is much older, didn't you say too many bad things, but you still feel physically fit Great, no, it’s unscientific!”

Han Sheng said, I'm just in good health, as for the matter of time travel, I absolutely can't say that, even Elizabeth didn't say anything about it.

For people, especially older people, this question can be said to have infinite magic power. Several people chatted back and forth for a long time. After Han Sheng said that he would take another look at their physical condition and start After ordering the prescription or something, it is considered over.

In other words, it was true that he was almost forty in the blink of an eye.

Time really flies.

At the beginning of the premiere of "Legend - Bruce Lee", Bruce Lee held Murphy's waist affectionately, watching the animation of Beyond Entertainment jumping up and down on the screen, but his eyes couldn't focus on it, and he was a little lost in thought.

In another ten years, it will be 2022. Even, in another seven years, another great global change is coming. He is not too worried that someone will take the opportunity to make a monster against him. With his current strength, and he is still young, he can control With enough strength, no one will casually seek death.

Instead, he was thinking, when the time comes, how should he deal with himself better.

Even, how to better obtain more benefits, gain greater power, etc... .

On July 7th, the box office of the first day of "Legend - Bruce Lee" and "The Amazing Spider-Man", which were released one day earlier, came out.

"Legend—Bruce Lee" opened at 4508 theaters, and "The Amazing Spider-Man" opened at 4318 theaters. This is almost exactly the same as the original time and space, but the box office is not as good as the original time and space.

In the original time and space, although "The Amazing Spider-Man" was a failed series, it still got a box office of 3501 million dollars on the first day. However, in this time and space, Han Sheng's influence is too great.

He made people accuse Neon Man of deliberate targeting, which made Neon Man very hurt. Moreover, fans supported the movies he starred in and strongly supported. Then, although Spider-Man is very brave, yes, he is well-known It's also very tall, but Bruce Lee is definitely a world-renowned super big cast.

Even in Africa, it is a very famous existence.

Therefore, under various blows, "The Amazing Spider-Man" relied on the support of diehard fans on the first day. Although it won 2239 million dollars, compared with the 3501 million dollars in the original time and space, it was almost [-]% killed. box office.

The single-house box office has also changed from 8109 dollars in the original time and space to 5185 dollars.

However, "Legend - Bruce Lee" played a triumphant song, opened in 4508 theaters, and got a box office of 5575 million dollars. The single theater exceeded 1.23, and it was [-] dollars. This is the data of a super hit movie.

Then, the next day, the 4th, a statutory holiday.

"The Amazing Spider-Man" is just like the original time and space, with a drop of 33%, and only got 1627 million dollars, while "Legend - Bruce Lee", although it also dropped more than 20%, got 3825 million dollars at the box office.

From this moment on, the gap was completely widened.

Then, the word-of-mouth of "The Amazing Spider-Man" also began to plummet, saying that he is completely the same as the previous "Spider-Man" series, which seems very old-fashioned, and then said that the bad guy Lizardman is simply a garbage enemy and so on.

In short, word-of-mouth has collapsed, and there are almost no good reviews in the media.

On the contrary, "Legend - Bruce Lee" was almost unanimously praised.

"In a word, Vincent's production must be a boutique. There is no doubt that this is the benchmark and pinnacle of biographical films...!" Kenny Tour, Los Angeles Times.

"It's not because Bruce Lee is Vincent's ancestor that he is sought after in all kinds of ways, and all kinds of tall people are very close to reality. He was rebellious when he was a child, but he was keen on movies and martial arts. When he grew up, he was transformed and studious. Jeet Kune Do, becoming a Kung Fu master, filming "The Way of the Dragon" and so on, creating Hollywood Kung Fu movies... Of course, the most commendable thing is also said in the movie. Mr. Bruce Lee has a truly great personality. Do you want to learn how to communicate with other people, or with people of all colors...!" - "Boston Tribune"

"Bruce Lee is smart and eager to learn beyond our imagination. In our images, he is an actor and a kung fu master, but in fact, he often reads books, loves dancing, writing poetry, etc. His life is very colorful... ...In this way, perhaps it is more in line with the legend in our minds. He is not only a martial artist, but also very wise. Perhaps this is the reason why he can accept people of all skin colors so tolerantly, and this is also why he The greatness of ...!" —Chicago Sun-Times.

The obvious negative reviews and positive reviews are reflected in reality, which is naturally a huge gap in the box office.

Thursday, the 5th, is a working day, so the box office of "The Amazing Spider-Man" continued to drop by 32%. "Although it also dropped by nearly 1107%, it had a box office of 30 million dollars.

Then, the next three days are the weekend.

At this time, "The Amazing Spider-Man" began to rebound. It rebounded by 30.00% and 15.00% on the first day and the second day respectively, and fell by 24% on the third day. It got a total of 4200 million in three days.
The rebound of "Legend - Bruce Lee" is similar, because the base is large, so it hit 1.1 million in three days.

In this way, it is obvious that "The Amazing Spider-Man" failed in a mess, and it was useless. Even if it was a long weekend, the sum was barely over 8000 million, which was less than the three-day weekend of "Legend-Bruce Lee".

If you count the long weekend, the box office of "Legend - Bruce Lee" has exceeded 2 million knives, which is far away, nearly 2.4 million.

In the first weekend, it hit 1.1 million in three days, and in the second week, it dropped 35%, and only got 6852 million. Then, in the third week, another powerful opponent began to be released, "Batman, The Dark Knight Rises" , This is the final chapter of the trilogy. Usually, the final chapter of a successful series, as long as it is not too stretched, the box office will not be bad.

Obviously, this one didn't pull the crotch.

Then, on the first day, 4404 theaters opened, and the box office hit 7575 million dollars, which was 2000 million more than the first day of "Legend - Bruce Lee". Knife, and then, on the third day, 40 million knives, and the three-day weekend added up to more than 4493 million knives.

That's what Batman: The Dark Knight Rises is all about.

As for "Legend - Bruce Lee", this time I couldn't stand it anymore. Even though the box office only dropped by 22%, it only got a box office of 5491 million dollars.

Of course, as far as the total box office is concerned, it is very good, because it has already exceeded 3.5 million knives.

Then, in the fourth week, "Batman: The Dark Knight Rises" only fell by about 20%, and it once again exploded to 1.2 million dollars. Two weeks later, it was almost 3 million dollars.

However, "Legend - Bruce Lee" is not bad, and it only dropped by less than 30%. It got a box office of 4019 million dollars, and then, [-] million dollars in North America has been reached.

Moreover, "Legend - Bruce Lee" is not only topping the charts in North America, but also top-notch overseas. After four weeks, it has exceeded 7 million dollars, almost double that of North America.

Among them, China is very strong. After four weeks, it has cut 15 billion box office. This is currently No. 2 in China, because No. 1 is "Let the Bullets Fly" with 16.9 billion.

At this point, Han Sheng was finally relieved.

In particular, the whole world once again set off a wave of Bruce Lee craze, or Chinese Kung Fu craze. Although his martial arts gyms have already spread all over the world, although he has been committed to promoting Kung Fu before, but at this moment, It can be regarded as reaching a relatively complete state through Mr. Bruce Lee.

Chinese kung fu will no longer be slandered casually.

Mr. Bruce Lee will no longer be arranged by some random little bastard!
