Treasure Island 1992, starting from the Four Little Heavenly Kings

Although under the leadership of Chen Qiming, many people were polite to Li Ming on the surface.

But in fact, even Liming himself could feel the perfunctory treatment these people gave him.

He is not Jack Cheng or Jamie Chen.

In Asia, he is one of the Four Heavenly Kings, a person who can rival Chen Qiming in terms of popularity.

Even if they co-star in a movie, he may be inferior to Chen Qiming and others in terms of celebrity status, but it won't be too different.

But after arriving in the United States, everything changed immediately.

At the banquet, along the way, Li Ming saw that everyone was polite to Chen Qiming, and there were even many beautiful blond people ogling Chen Qiming openly.

And he was like a follower at this time.

Although everyone smiled when Chen Qiming helped introduce him, looking like they were happy to meet him.

But as soon as they turned around, these people became perfunctory, which can be called Sichuan's face changing.

Being ignored continuously made Li Ming a little discouraged.

At the same time, it also gave him a more realistic feel for the international power of Chen Qiming and Jackie Chan.

Before being in Hong Kong and Taiwan, he knew that Chen Qiming was very popular in Europe and the United States.

But the description in the newspaper always feels a little unreal.

Until now, Li Ming has really felt it.

He saw with his own eyes that after seeing Hollywood first-line actor Brad Pitt, he put aside the friend he was talking to and hugged Chen Qiming with a big smile. The relationship between good friends was revealed.

He also personally heard Time Warner CEO Steven personally say that as long as Chen Qiming is free, Warner will tailor-make a blockbuster for him with an investment of no less than [-] million US dollars.

Witnessing this scene with her own eyes made Liming truly feel Chen Qiming's popularity in Europe and the United States.

It was also at this moment that the thought in my heart that I still wanted to compete with Chen Qiming became weaker and weaker until it disappeared.

"Feel like you're in a bad mood?"

After walking around with Li Ming and meeting many people, the two of them walked to the bathroom together.

After using the toilet, Chen Qiming washed his hands and asked Liming.

Li Ming lit a cigarette for herself and took a deep breath, "I feel like I'm back when I first entered the entertainment industry.

At that time, I looked like an ant standing next to Andy just like I do today. "

Hearing this, Chen Qiming probably understood his mood.

Although he hadn't experienced that feeling often, he had experienced it.

Whether it was standing like an ant at Aaron Kwok's concert, or later acting like a green leaf next to Jimmy Lin...

"It's all step by step. If you want to develop in Hollywood, you must go through this step."

Chen Qiming patted his shoulder and comforted him.

Dawn rolled her eyes, "I'm not you!"

Everyone's story is unique.

Although I envy Chen Qiming.

It was also because of him that I had the urge to break into Hollywood.

But Liming himself is still self-aware, and he doesn't think he can copy Chen Qiming's path.

After smiling, Chen Qiming said: "I am very confident in the film Death Comes.

It may not be long before this movie will be released in Europe and the United States.

By then, once you have your works, it won’t be that difficult if you want to develop here.

As for today, the main thing is for you to get to know these guys outside, so that you can become familiar with them. "

With that said, he patted Li Ming on the shoulder again.

"You are a boss, you have the final say!"

……

The so-called strong are stronger.

Movies can also be described by this rule.

With a box office of more than 2000 million in its first week, the movie "Anaconda" has officially become a hit movie.

Some experts predict that if the movie encounters no other surprises in the second week, the box office this week may be higher than last week.

However, if there is no accident, the accident will definitely come.

On the [-]th, two blockbusters "GoldenEye" and "The American President" from United Artists and Columbia entered the market aggressively.

The investment scale of these two movies is not small, and the publicity has been intense for a long time.

Therefore, as soon as the two movies were released, they immediately took away the first and second place in the single-day box office list of the day, and "Anaconda" was squeezed to the third position.

Among them, since "GoldenEye" is a movie in the "007" series, its box office success is even more unimaginable.

In its first three days of release, it grossed US$600 million.

Although the box office of "The American President" started to drop on the second day after its release, it still achieved a high figure of 1000 million US dollars in three days.

Due to the impact of the two films, this week's box office of "Anaconda" increased slightly compared to last week, but not much, just 100 million more, occupying the second week's box office with a score of 400 million US dollars. Runner-up.

In its two weeks of release, it grossed $700 million.

This result is absolutely excellent.

If this trend continues, even if "Anaconda" claims to have a box office of [-] million in North America, no one will question it.

It's a pity that this is the United States, and November to December is the Christmas season in the United States. Many programs are aimed at this period.

On the 22nd, the animated film "Toy Story" distributed by Bona was officially released.

"Toy Story" grossed US$900 million in just five days after its release, ranking first at the box office.

All the movies including "GoldenEye," "Anaconda," and "The American President" took a hit at the box office.

Fortunately, "GoldenEye" did well. Although the box office in the second week was down from last week, it was still stable at more than 2000 million, ranking second.

The third one is not "Anaconda".

"Anaconda" was originally released for two weeks. This is the third week, and many audiences have watched it.

Therefore, this week, the box office of "Anaconda" experienced a sharp decline, being defeated by "The American President" with US$500 million, and ranking fourth with US$300 million.

[The movie "Toy Story" left a deep impression on me.

Although it is a cartoon, it is deeply rooted in people's hearts.

The storyline is touching and each character is so interesting that you can't help but fall in love with it.

After watching the movie, I thought deeply: life is like a journey, we all need to grow and adapt to changes, and find our own value and meaning. 】

[A movie full of humor and warmth that makes people moved.The movie brought me a lot of thoughts and insights, and also reminded me of my childhood. The most worth watching movie - "Toy Story"]

[Pixar Animation Company's masterpiece that took several years to produce, this year's best movie "Toy Story"]

……

Reading through today's movie reviews, Chen Qiming sighed helplessly.

"Anaconda" took in more than 700 million US dollars in the first two weeks, which gave Chen Qiming and Warner very great confidence.

Even though "GoldenEye" took in 500 million at the box office on its first three days.

They also agreed that the North American box office of "Anaconda" is expected to exceed [-] million.

But the appearance of "Toy Story" broke their illusion.

After the animated film was released, its reputation was overwhelming.

Now the entire United States is almost full of praise for this movie.

The praise from all over the United States naturally brought "Toy Story" a terrifying box office success.

In the second week, the movie directly earned a terrifying box office of 100 million US dollars.It grossed more than 7000 million U.S. dollars at the box office in two weeks.

If this trend continues, "Toy Story" will definitely sweep North America crazily in the next few weeks.

And the movie market is just that big.

"Toy Story" exploded at the box office, and other movies were naturally affected.

This can be seen from the fact that the box office of "Anaconda" dropped directly to 900 million this week.

Not only "Anaconda", but also movies such as "GoldenEye" and "The American President" were more or less affected.

Currently, Anaconda has been in theaters for four weeks, with a total box office of 700 million, which is still more than 3000 million short of [-] million.

If it is like the first two weeks after it was released, it won't be long before the box office reaches hundreds of millions.

But now, this goal has obviously become an impossible thing.

Putting down the newspaper, Chen Qiming shook his head and no longer thought about this issue.

Although I am a little disappointed that the box office cannot exceed [-] million.

But the movie "Anaconda" has obviously achieved a very good goal.

The total investment in "Anaconda" was only over 700 million US dollars.

With this investment, we can achieve such a high box office.

Plus the subsequent video market.

Overall, the movie has been a huge hit.

Moreover, this does not include other markets such as Asia and Europe.

Currently, the film is being screened in Asia and Europe.

The box office was also very good.

In addition to the North American market, the film's total box office in other markets has reached 700 million US dollars.

According to the trend, the next other markets should be able to earn about 2000 million. In addition, North America is extending the release. Although 2000 million will not be reached, 500 million should be available.

As a result, the total global box office of the movie "Anaconda" should be around 5000 million.

Well, dollars.

The global box office is 5000 million, which is not low.

This is the highest-grossing film produced by a Chinese film company in recent years.

Also because of this box office, Chen Qiming has become famous in the Chinese film industry recently.

Some people in Hong Kong and Taiwan even shouted the slogan that Chinese films are about to go global.

At the same time, due to the huge sales of "Anaconda" in the global market, Hong Kong and Taiwan movie fans are full of expectations for "Death is Coming" produced by Qiming Film and Television.

Many movie fans said that they have prepared money to watch another blockbuster produced by Qiming Film and Television.

Well, it’s a blockbuster.

The blockbuster sales of the two films "The King of Storms" and "Anaconda" have brought Qiming Film and Television's reputation to a new high in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Qiming Film and Television has been established for a long time, but it has produced very few movies.

However, the two films produced were box office hits, which made the media and fans full of expectations for Qiming Film and Television.

"Get ready and return to Treasure Island in two days!"

No longer thinking about the box office exceeding [-] million, Chen Qiming stood up and explained to Li Xiaowen.

"understand!"

Li Xiaowen nodded, and then asked: "Harvey Wayne has invited you to talk about the North American release of "Death Is Coming" at three o'clock this afternoon.

But Warner just happened to arrange a temporary promotional event.

Did he push Harvey first or..."

Chen Qiming thought for a while and said: "No need to push, make an appointment near the event, so we don't miss any time!"

"Anaconda" was produced almost entirely by Qiming Film and Television.

The success of this movie made Qiming Film and Television famous in North America.

Ha Wei was already interested in "Death", and "Anaconda"'s global box office of over [-] million stimulated him even more.

This guy has been contacting Chen Qiming many times in a row, and even stood at the door of Chen Qiming's hotel just to win the North American distribution rights of this movie.

Originally, Chen Qiming didn't want to cooperate with him.

However, after many consecutive negotiations with Warner, both parties failed to reach an agreement on the direction of cooperation for the movie "The God of Death". This made Chen Qiming agree to Harvey's interview and wanted to hear what conditions this big liar could offer.

In fact, Warner is not afraid of being interested in "Death Comes".

On the contrary, they were interested in the film.

Although this film obviously has more Chinese elements than "Anaconda", the story of this film is very innovative.

The cause and effect setting of the God of Death or the King of Hell is very attractive.

Therefore, Warner's interest in this film is even greater than the original "Anaconda".

But also because of the high expectations for this film and the desire to make more money, Warner did not even agree to the conditions proposed by Chen Qiming.

What Chen Qiming means is that Warner will distribute it and then share the profits equally, whether it is the box office or the video market.

But Warner doesn't want to do that.

They even wanted to buy out the North American rights to the film at once.

That's all. As long as the money is in place, Chen Qiming is not unwilling.

But first of all, Warner couldn't provide enough money. They were only willing to give 800 million US dollars, and they also required that if there was a sequel, it must be given to Warner.

$800.

This is simply sending a beggar away, how could Chen Qiming be willing to do so.

Although the value of "Death Is Coming" is indeed reduced a lot without him starring.

But Chen Qiming himself felt that this film was worth more than this amount of money.

Regarding the buyout price, which was less than US$500 million, he directly refused to discuss it.

"Find an opportunity to reveal my meeting with Harvey to Warner! Put a little pressure on them!"

Chen Qiming explained.

Warner Bros. is interested in "Dead Man".

But these guys are completely sure that Chen Qiming only has one partner in Europe and the United States, so they have to lower the price.

The appearance of Ha Wei just allowed Chen Qiming to put a little pressure on them.

Of course, if Harvey's offer satisfies Chen Qiming, he wouldn't mind handing "Death Comes" to Harvey for distribution.

Anyway, he has signed a three-film cooperation contract with Warner.

But that was a co-financed movie.

"Death Is Coming" is not a joint investment, but an independent investment and production by Qiming Film and Television.

At noon, Chen Qiming attended a live promotion of "Anaconda" organized by Warner in Manhattan.

After the event, Chen Qiming immediately rushed to a coffee shop not far away.

In the distance, he saw Harvey.

"Hi...Chen, here!"

The fat man shouted from a long distance away.
