Due to the oppressive momentum of "Mockingjay", other companies have avoided adjusting their schedules, resulting in only one new large-scale release this week.

The total revenue of the TOP12 North American film market rose by 44.5% compared with last week, and the total revenue rose to 1.87 million US dollars.

North American weekend box office list (2014.11.21-2014.11.23):
No. 1, "The Hunger Games 3: Mockingjay", with a weekend box office of 12300 million U.S. dollars, with a cumulative box office of 12300 million U.S. dollars, a scale of 4151 theaters, and an investment cost of 1.25 million U.S. dollars;

……

剑指2014年北美票房年冠的《饥饿游戏3：嘲笑鸟(上)》本周帝势君临，量天尺为影片开出与系列前两作持平的4151家上映院线规模(第一部4137家，第二部4163家)。

周末三日单馆成绩达到29631美元，周末三日总收入1.23亿美金，两项指标都超越《变形金刚4》(23633美元，1亿)成为2014年现阶段北美的开画、单馆成绩(wide级)之冠。

Other metrics, however, were less impressive.

11月21日周五单日票房收入5515万美金，位列北美影史周五单日票房收入榜第14位、北美影史单日票房收入榜第17位。

The box office of US$1.23 million in the first week ranked sixth in the North American film history's November opening list, and ranked 11th in the North American film history's opening box office list.

At the same time, the box office of this first weekend is also the bottom of the "Hunger Games" series, which is lower than the 1.58 million of the second "Star Fire" and the 1.52 million of the first "Hunger Games".

Now that the finale split has become a trend, everyone has their own views on this business (pian) industry (qian) model!

This shooting mode first originated in "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows", and then "Twilight", "Breaking Dawn", and "The Hunger Games" all happily imitated.

Everyone is more accepting of the splitting of "Deathly Hallows". Look at the sudden increase in the thickness of the seventh novel of the original work, and when JK Rowling puts all the functions of "finding 6 Horcruxes" on the last one. .

He also brought up the brand-new concept of "Deathly Hallows". The time for a film is indeed stretched. At that time, Warner's decision to split the finale was also considered.

In contrast, the split between "Breaking Dawn" and "Mockingjay" is undoubtedly more out of commercial considerations.

After all, after the popularity of the previous films, fans will definitely contribute to the box office driven by the inertia of watching. One more film means that there will be a huge income of 3 million+ in North America and 6 million+ in the world.

And the price is just a small pit of fans (maybe a large number of fans are still willing), so why not do it.

However, this method of hard demolition will naturally bring about many problems. The first thing to bear the brunt is the plot. The original content of "Deathly Hallows" is sufficient to fill the capacity of about 2 and a half hours.

But this is not the case with "Dawn" and "Mockingjay", so after the split, there have been "dragging" to varying degrees, and now the original "Hunger Games" has a flawed look that has aggravated this perception.

The structure of Susan Collins' novels has always been slightly unbalanced, and the first half of the film is often a lot of statement preparation, the purpose is to lay the groundwork for the fighting climax of the finale, which is true of the trilogy.

But the problem is that Collins's first half is often too flat, which creates an imbalance.

In contrast to the other two juvenile literature, JK Rowling will continue to create highlights during the narrative process, and Stephanie Meyer will regularly introduce small climaxes to attract the audience. These are all to balance the structure of the entire story. In contrast, Collins's The skill is indeed still slightly inferior.

However, this problem is not obvious in the first two films. The novel can be filled with a lot of psychological monologues of the protagonist. The film transition is not bad due to the limited time and compression, but when "Mockingjay" starts to tear down the problem, the problem will come!

"Mockingjay" (Part [-]) is equivalent to extracting the "bland" first half of the original work into an independent film, which will naturally reduce a lot of highlights.

From the large amount of feedback on the forum, it can be seen that the places where the slots are more concentrated are "there are very few fights", "where are the big scenes?", and "the dialogue of literary dramas occupies an absolute space".

In order to create highlights in the "plain" plot, the main creators had to add a lot of scenes in the original work, adding elements of self-expression.

In addition, the film has changed from the No.1 perspective of the novel to the third-person perspective. The protagonist’s inner drama cannot be directly expressed, and can only be played by the actors themselves. Therefore, Lily Collins’ inner acting role has increased again, and the feeling of “drag drama” happens sometimes.

But "Mockingjay" is really difficult for screenwriters, because the structure of the novel itself does not have obvious unit divisions, and there are no iconic events in the middle.

In desperation, the screenwriter had no choice but to fabricate a scene that was not in the original novel, and made up a showdown between Katniss and the president. Now it seems that it is indeed a last resort.

However, under the restrictions of the above rigid conditions, the main creators still found the positioning of the film. The media propaganda battle between the two sides before the war was portrayed thrillingly, and the political insinuations surpassed the past, and the fierce collision in the second half can already be glimpsed.

Therefore, the above-mentioned things are not a problem for non-original fans. As long as you remember who the characters are, it will not affect the overall viewing effect.

However, Liang Tianchi's method of creating "The Hunger Games" has always been "the mutual promotion of novels and movies". After all, fans who have read the original works in North America account for a large proportion.

The direct impact of the problems mentioned above is the drop in the box office. The opening figure of US$1.23 million fell by more than 3000 million compared with the first two series, and it is also inferior to "Deathly Hallows" (Part [-]) and "Dawn" in a horizontal comparison. "(superior).

As a result, "Mockingjay" (Part 4) basically lost its qualification to enter the 3 million club like the previous two films, and can only stay at the level of [-] million US dollars.

If the next week's drop is too large, it may even lose to "Guardians of the Galaxy" and lose the qualification for the annual championship. At this stage, the goal is to break 3.

The comprehensive media rating of "The Hunger Games 3: Mockingjay" is 64 points, and the freshness of Rotten Tomatoes is 67%.

The first part of the "Hunger Games" finale, positive reviews dominate the mainstream.

"This film (as the first part of the finale) uses a lot of political confrontation scenes to pave the way for the final decisive battle!"

"Chapter 2, the penultimate chapter of the series, doesn't have a real ending, but it's still a thrilling ride filled with powerful emotions, new characters and twists of fate, all built around a strong performance from the protagonist. !"

"The most politically charged of the three films to date, and the most riveting!"

"With Mockingjay - Part [-], the Hunger Games franchise continues to evolve and entertain, not perfectly but with style, so we can't wait to see what's next!"

""Mockingjay" (Part [-]) is not as exciting as the previous "Catching Fire", but it is still very charming! It continues the suspenseful atmosphere of the previous work and is full of plot surprises and character highlights!"

"The golden triangle of Collins, Moore, and Hoffman is a powerful driving force for this film, both in terms of plot and character performance. Together, they imbue the film with a gravitational and meaningful theme".

……

The box office of "The Hunger Games 3: Mockingjay" in the first weekend is lower than that of the first two films. It can be seen that some movie fans are still quite critical of the splitting of the finale.

At the same time, it is also because of the deliberate split of the finale that the content of the upper part is not exciting enough. Basically, it can be said that it is paving the way for the lower part, so the excitement level will inevitably decline.

This can be clearly seen from the evaluations of fans and film critics.

However, for Quan Tianru, even if he knew that there would be such a result, he would still choose to split the finale.

After all, just by splitting it up, you can get a box office of 3 million in North America and 6 million in the world, so why not do it.

It is also because "The Hunger Games" is about to end, but Liang Tianchi did not find the next popular youth-themed movie.

From the beginning of the popularity of "Twilight", Liang Tianchi realized the strong box office appeal of youth themes among the growing audience of young people.

So "The Hunger Games" came after "Twilight".

And it did, with "The Hunger Games" continuing the popularity of "The Twilight Saga" and becoming another franchise with $30 billion worldwide.

But after "The Hunger Games", Tianchi launched "Maze Runner" and "Divergent" respectively, but the performance of the two is completely incomparable with "Twilight" and "The Hunger Games".

The North American box office of "Divergent" reached 1.5 million, while "Maze Runner" only reached 1.02 million. Compared with "Twilight" and "The Hunger Games" which broke 3 million, there is a clear gap.

And "The Hunger Games" is about to end. After Liang Tianchi lost this popular series, the only series that really exploded at the box office in his hand is the "Fast and Furious" series.

Therefore, it is absolutely necessary to split "The Hunger Games", and it is a little bit to make a little money.

……

The time has entered December 2014, and the crew of "Charlotte Annoyance" is still continuing the film's promotional journey.

Today, Chen Hao and Xiaohu will participate in the recording of a running man.

At this time, the ratings of Running Man have successfully broken through 3%, and are constantly approaching 4%. It can be said that it is the most popular variety show and topic in the mainland.

Therefore, in order to promote the film, Chen Hao and Xiaohu participated in the recording together, and this episode will also be broadcast on December 12 to promote "Charlotte Annoyance" and increase the popularity.

The theme of this issue of Running Man is "Three Schools Competition"!
"Sister Xiaohu, your skin is so good!" Xiao Di couldn't help but praise Xiaohu when she met Xiaohu who had just come out of the room.

Xiaohu smiled when he heard the words, "It's all thanks to Director Chen."

"Director Chen?" Xiao Di was taken aback when he heard the words, then blinked Kazilan's big eyes, and his expression gradually became a little unnatural.

Seeing this, Xiaohu smiled and patted Xiaodi, "What are you thinking about, it's Director Chen who gave me a lot of essence!"

"Well, I thought..." Xiao Di scratched her hair in embarrassment, then looked at Xiaohu and said, "Then the effect of this essence is really good. You said that if I asked Director Chen for it, he would give to me?"

When Xiaohu heard the words, he stared straight at Xiao Di.

Xiao Di was a little apprehensive. At the previous company annual meeting, she felt that Xiaohu looked at her in the wrong way, as if she was a little hostile.

Seeing Xiaodi's nervous look, Xiaohu suddenly smiled, "Are you afraid of me?"

"Ah? No!" Xiao Di repeatedly waved his hands.

Seeing this, Xiaohu smiled and grabbed Xiao Di's jade hand, then looked at Xiao Di's pretty face carefully, and praised, "This face is really amazing, no wonder that guy will take a fancy to you."

Xiao Di could only laugh apologetically, and didn't dare to ask who that guy was, although she guessed it was Mr. Chen!
"I don't know about other people, but if you ask Director Chen for it, you must ask for as much as you want, and how much he will give you!" Xiaohu said with a half-smile, "It's even so much that you beg for mercy."

"Begging for mercy?" Xiao Di had a question mark on his face when he heard this.

"What are you talking about?" Chen Hao suddenly came over and asked.

"Hello, Mr. Chen!" Xiao Di immediately nodded when he saw Chen Hao.

"Morning, Xiao Di!" Chen Hao said, "Don't call me Director Chen, let's call me Director Chen!"

Xiao Di nodded when he heard the words, then smirked and slipped away.

Seeing this, Chen Hao couldn't help but look at Xiaohu, "What did you say, it scares him."

But Xiaohu rolled her eyes charmingly, "What? Does your heart hurt?"

Chen Hao glared at the little fox and said, "Be careful, let's go, don't be late."

Xiaohu looked at Chen Hao's figure, curled his lips, and then trotted two steps to follow.

As soon as Chen Hao showed up, the boss's aura was full. Except for Xiaohu, everyone including the 7 main MCs and the production team stood up and said hello.

"boss!"

"Director Chen!"

"Chen Dong!"

……

Those who call the boss are all employees of the Haotian Department, such as Deng Chao, Xue Qianqian and Xiao Di.

Jin Song, Sha Yi, Wang Baobao and Chen Chichi are naturally called others.

Chen Hao greeted and responded with a smile, and said, "You're welcome, just treat me as a guest, and record as you want, otherwise it will be boring."

After hearing the words, everyone expressed their understanding, relaxed a little, and then all set off to the recording location.

This episode is a three-school competition, and the recording locations are all major universities in Jiangcheng.

And when the entire running man recording team arrived at the university, it quickly attracted the attention of the students.

Obviously, with the broadcast of several episodes of Running Man, the show has gained a lot of fans, among which young people naturally have the most.

"Ah, Brother Chao!"

"Xiao Di is the most beautiful!"

"Chen Chichi!"

"Forward!"

……

"I'll go, is that Chen Hao?"

"It seems that there are little foxes, did they come to promote the movie?"

"It should be, take pictures quickly, post on Weibo, Moments!"

……

The news that the running man came to Star City University to record quickly spread all over the Internet, attracting countless fans to watch.

After the running men greeted the students, they began to enter the recording venue.

Because it is a three-school competition, the 7 main MCs plus the two flying guests Chen Hao and Xiaohu were divided into three teams.

Deng Chao, Xue Qianqian, and Wang Baobao are students of D University. The three of them were doing experiments in the laboratory together. Deng Chao picked up a measuring cup, shook it lightly as if tasting red wine, and drank it all in one gulp. Poisoned and died.

In the later stage, there should be a layer of forgiveness on his face.

Sha Yi, Xiao Di, and Chen Chichi are students at University A, participating in a debate about which is more important, a chef or an excavator.

Jin Song, Chen Hao and Xiao Hu are students of L University.

At this time, a basketball bullfight is going on, and Jinsong keeps scoring goals with his strong body.

And just when the two sides began to compete for rebounds, Chen Hao, who was wearing a basketball uniform, sped up and jumped from a distance, flew up from the crowd, and grabbed the rebound from Jinsong's hands with his head flat on the frame.

Afterwards, Chen Hao dribbled the ball out of the three-point line, and then made a direct shot, which was picturesque, and the picture froze.

His name is Chen Hao, and his representative works are "Inception", "Gravity", "Interstellar", "The Ninth District" and so on.

Then the screen returned to normal. After the dry pull, Chen Hao still maintained his shooting posture until the three-pointer hit the net!
"Wow……"

"Oh……"

"Cheer up, Chen Hao! Chen Hao is so handsome!"

The camera shows a group of girls by the basketball court, the most conspicuous one is of course Xiaohu, and the picture freezes again.

The name is Xiaohu, and his representative works are "Zhu Xian" series, "Gongsuo Xinyu", "Ancient Sword and Legend", "The Imperial Capital Meets Seattle" and so on.

In the basketball court, Jin Song looked at Chen Hao in surprise and said, "Director Chen!"

"Hi!" Chen Hao greeted with a smile.

At the same time, Team D and Team A were informed by the program and went to the cultural and sports center, that is, the basketball court to meet.

"Wow, Director Chen! Is this true? Today's guest is actually Director Chen? I love watching his movies!"

"Wow, Miss Fox, she's even prettier in real life than on TV!"

"Wow, it's really Director Chen and Miss Xiaohu, today's guests are really big names!"

……

After Team D and Team A arrived, they saw Chen Hao and Xiaohu immediately screaming in amazement.

Chen Hao and Xiaohu laughed when they saw it.

"It's so exaggerated!" Xiaohu covered her mouth and smiled.

"This acting skill is not even as good as yours!" Chen Hao laughed.

"What do you mean!" Xiaohu stretched out his hand and patted Chen Hao.

At this time, Deng Chao suddenly stood aside and said, "Why are you making such a fuss? It's so disrespectful to Director Chen."

After finishing speaking, Deng Chao ignored the other people who were stunned.

He quickly walked up to Chen Hao, bent over ninety degrees, and said with a doggy smile, "Hello, Director Chen, I'm Deng Chao, I'm handsome, and my acting skills are not bad. Do you think there is any suitable role for me?" , even if there is only one lens.”

"Brother Chao, you are the first one to yell!"

"It's just smelly and shameless!"

"I've never seen anything so despicable and shameless!"

"The running man is ashamed of you!"

"Brother Chao, I didn't expect you to be such a person, selling friends for glory!"

……

Xue Qianqian, Wang Baobao, Chen Chichi, and Sha Yi all cursed, only Xiaodi didn't speak, but looked at Deng Chao in disbelief.

Deng Chao didn't take it seriously, but took pride in it, and said proudly, "This is the experience of life, you know, life is dangerous, you guys are too young, you are still far behind!"

Chen Hao and Xiaohu just laughed when they saw this.

But then, Chen Hao said, "Brother Chao is right, life is dangerous, once an opportunity arises, you must seize it quickly and ruthlessly. This is also a lesson for you."

"How is it!" Deng Chao immediately spread his hands even more proudly when he heard the words, and shouted, "How is it? Look at how perceptive Director Chen is, how insightful he is in the world, he is simply our life mentor."

Facing Deng Chao's flattery, Chen Hao nodded in agreement, "Brother Chao is right, but what I hate the most are people who sell friends for glory. This kind of person really deserves to be struck by lightning, and heaven will not allow it."

As soon as the words fell, Deng Chao looked at Chen Hao with a dull expression, unbelievable that the clown was me! ! !

"Hahaha……"

"Brother Chao, sell your friends for glory! The sky is struck by lightning!"

"Hahaha...Brother Chao is dumbfounded!"

……

After hearing this reversal, everyone burst into laughter.

Chen Chichi and Xue Qianqian walked up to Deng Chao and started whipping the corpse.

"I'm Deng Chao, selling friends for glory!" Xue Qianqian laughed.

"Deng Chao is me, the sky is struck by lightning!" Chen Chichi continued.

"Hahaha……"

After hearing this, Deng Chao fell to his knees and raised his hands to the sky, "Why? Why did you treat me like this?"

"Hahaha……"

Everyone watched Deng Chao play with a smile.

After laughing for a while, Deng Chao suddenly stood up calmly and pretended to flick the dust, "Seeing you laughing so happily, it seems that my scene is very good."

"Acting?" Everyone was dumbfounded.

Deng Chao said without blushing, "That's right, I just deliberately acted as a beggar so that you can see the end of this. Now you should know, and I will retire. In addition, I would like to thank you Director Chen's cooperation!"

"I'm lying to ghosts, I'm still acting there, selling friends for glory!" After finishing speaking, Chen Chichi came over and "beat up" Deng Chao.

"Be gentle, be gentle!" Deng Chao lay down and hugged his head and screamed, "Don't slap your face, don't slap your face, I rely on my face for a living."

Xue also joined the ranks of violent beatings before, "I've seen you displeased for a long time!"

"I can't take it anymore, it's too shameless!" Sha Yi also came over to punch and kick!

Chen Hao and the others watched the four of them fight and laughed.

"Okay, okay, I'll never end you!" Deng Chao suddenly stood up and said furiously.

Chen Chichi, Xue Qianqian, and Sha Yi also quit as soon as they saw each other, and ran away quickly.

After the laughter, everyone stood up together, and Chen Hao and Xiaohu stood in the middle as guests.

Deng Chao said, "Director Chen, what have you been up to lately?"

"I'm promoting my new film "Charlotte Annoyance"!" Chen Hao said with a smile.

"Oh! Director Chen's movie, you must watch it, because each one is so wonderful, you must not miss it." Deng Chao said excitedly, "Tell us when it will be released, we will definitely go to support it."

"Pfft..." Xiaohu burst out laughing suddenly, "It can't be done, brother Chao is too shaky!"

"Pfft...hahaha..."

Everyone laughed when they heard the words.

"Uh..." Deng Chao was helpless when he heard the words, "Is it so obvious?"

"It's a bit deliberate." Chen Hao said, "You still have to hone your acting skills, it seems that you can't cooperate for the time being."

"No, Director Chen." Deng Chao begged after hearing the words, "It's okay if you don't cooperate, but at least tell me when your new film will be released, so that I can support you!"

"I know that." Xiaohu said with a smile, "The new film "Charlotte Annoyance" that Director Chen and I collaborated on will officially premiere nationwide on December 12th. I hope everyone will support it."

"Charlotte Annoyance!" Xue Qian suddenly shouted.

Seeing this, Chen Chichi frowned, and immediately followed suit, "December 12!"

"I'll show you!" Sha Yi said.

……

PS: I prefer to watch variety shows, but I feel a little awkward writing it myself!I don't know how to write it! ! !
