Chapter 602 One step away (two in one)

"The Truman Show" has a very good reputation both at home and abroad!

Needless to say, this movie was originally made in Hollywood. For example, Truman discovered the problem through the crossed fingers on his wife's wedding photo, etc. Many details were retained by Yang Yi. These are things that Western audiences can understand instantly. cultural connotation.

The domestic audience actually accepted such a movie with English dialogues very smoothly, but it was not just because Yang Yi played the leading role in it, but because Yang Yi added a lot in it that made them smile. details of Chinese culture.

For example, Taoyuan Island, the English name in the original film is "Seahaven Island", which literally means ocean paradise island, a paradise-like island surrounded by the ocean.

But when Yang Yi was writing the script, he changed it to "Peach Island". At the same time, he asked Le Zehan to spend a lot of money to plant a lot of peach trees in the real scene of Taoyuan Island, and it was right when filming. The peach blossoms are in full bloom.

This Taoyuan Island naturally has the feeling of "Peach Blossom Spring". Chinese audiences can immediately understand it as long as they watch the film.

Even in many later media articles discussing "The Truman Show", they believed that Yang Yi got inspiration from the famous "Peach Blossom Spring" by Mr. Tao Yuanming during the Eastern Jin Dynasty. In the film, he discussed the difference between escaping from the world and joining the world. Thoughts.

There is also the huge architectural scene of the Taoyuan Island filming studio that was shown to the audience for the first time in the movie when the truth about "The Truman Show" was revealed. This scene was of course made with special effects, and the presentation method is similar to a shot in "The Wandering Earth" In the end, the classic special effects images are exactly the same.

But what makes Chinese audiences talk about it even more is that the movie says that "Taoyuan Island and the Great Wall of China are the only man-made structures that can be seen when overlooking the earth from space."

So, when they saw it in the movie, they all felt proud.

By the next weekend, the box office performance of "The Truman Show" soared again, and this time it reached a high of 2.8 million!
This is not the limit of "The Truman Show"!

"The box office performance of "The Truman Show" is actually not that impressive abroad. It is far behind the comic book movie with the best foreign box office performance at the beginning of this year and "Baby" in the same period. But now these imported films are released in China Even if the box office data is not good, our domestic box office can help "The Truman Show" recover a lot of the gap!"

After all, it was filmed by our own director! Is it normal to mix in some private goods?
The more discussions there are online, and the more viewers who have watched it will spontaneously benefit from it, the better the box office performance of "The Truman Show" will be!
Let’s talk about China first. On June 2.7st, the box office of “The Truman Show” reached million on its first day in the mainland.

This is common sense that Chinese audiences all know and are proud of.

At the same time, no matter how high the popularity is, it cannot last for such a long time. There has been a lot less discussion about "The Truman Show" online. Whether its box office performance will be good or not depends on the old audiences who love this movie so much and how many times they are willing to watch it!
The main location of "The Truman Show" is actually in North America. After all, it is a movie produced by Hollywood.

"Actually, "The Truman Show" is also an imported film, but it was filmed by Yang Yi and starred by Yang Yi, so we think it is our Chinese film."

This data cannot be said to be very dazzling. After all, the first place is more than 2 million US dollars. It is even inferior to Yang Yi's record-breaking "Saw ".

"It's only a matter of time before "The Truman Show" can exceed 14.4 billion. The question is how much more can "The Truman Show" exceed 104 billion. I really look forward to Director Yang's film winning the global box office championship this year. Last year's global box office championship was only billion. U.S. dollars, equivalent to RMB billion.”

What's more, "The Truman Show" was also released in other important movie markets around the world, slightly later than North America and China, but by the end of June, its overseas box office outside of North America also reached 1.8 million US dollars.

On the third weekend, I don’t know if it was because many senior high school students had already completed their college entrance examinations, or because many viewers who particularly liked this movie were watching the movie again and again. The single-day box office performance of "The Truman Show" It exceeded 3 million on Saturday!
On July 1, Mumu Films reported the first-month box office results of "The Truman Show." Although the overall movie market in June was not that hot, it seems to have nothing to do with "The Truman Show". It relied on the popularity of the whole society to earn a box office of 4.6 billion in the first month!

But, then again, June is over, and July is the real summer vacation in China. The competition for summer vacation is not as fierce as National Day and Spring Festival, but there are still many new movies coming in, including many excellent works. "The Truman Show" is a movie that will be broadcast in the second month of renewal, and it will definitely not be as good as before. Such a good arrangement.

"Good guy, Director Yang's movie is about to break the box office record again! This is only the first month, and it hasn't even been released for a month in many places. As a result, its total box office total is 8.2 billion! That's it! It should definitely exceed the data of "The Wandering Earth"."

But "The Truman Show" is different after all. It is a movie starring Yang Yi, and it is a movie with an Asian face as the protagonist. It can actually win such a high box office in the North American film market, and it has gained great popularity among Western audiences. The high-scoring evaluation is completely unprecedented!
Moreover, for comparison, "The Wandering Earth" also starred Yang Yi. The total overseas box office of "The Wandering Earth" was only 3.6 million U.S. dollars. "The Truman Show" was only in North America, and it took only one month to reach this figure. 3.11 million US dollars, which shows that this result is already very good!

There was a decline the next day. After all, it was Monday and many people went to work or school. But in the middle of this week, the single-day box office performance of "The Truman Show" can still maintain around 100 million, and it has maintained its momentum of consecutive championships.

"What does it matter if the film is imported? Anyway, the money is made for Yang Yi, and we are willing to do so. In the end, he will still give us feedback in various ways. Yang Yi is the most patriotic artist!"

And now "The Truman Show" monopolizes a large proportion of the film schedule. No other movies in the same period can compete with it. Of course, theaters must give priority to "The Truman Show".

After the end of June, box office statistics for the North American market were also released. "The Truman Show" earned US$3.11 million in the first month, ranking second among summer movies.

There are so many good movies on the National Day schedule, and all of them have to be scheduled. "Once Upon a Time: Top Gun" is trying to survive in the cracks.

This result even surpasses "Once Upon a Time: Top Gun" which was released on National Day!
Of course, this is understandable. After all, the competitive environment of "Once Upon a Time: Top Gun" is simply not comparable to that of "The Truman Show."

After this data was reported by domestic news, domestic netizens were stunned.

"The Truman Show" ended its streak of being the single-day box office champion during the domestic summer holiday. However, its box office performance still remained in the top five, and it has always had good box office revenue.

Before it was released in theaters at the end of August, the total domestic box office of "The Truman Show" was fixed at 5.3 billion yuan.

It will take some time to calculate the overseas box office results. Anyway, by the end of the year, the North American box office of "The Truman Show" was US$4.3 million, and other film markets except China had a total of US$7.2 million in box office. This figure of US$7.2 million cannot be said to be particularly outstanding, because "Saw 4", which Yang Yi wrote the script for others to film, already cost US$7 million.

But the movie "The Truman Show" is not a standard commercial blockbuster after all. It even has the temperament of a literary film, and it stars an Asian face. It was able to get 7.2 million US dollars, really because of the plot of the movie. Excellent, as well as Yang Yi's outstanding acting skills, it can really deeply touch a considerable number of Western audiences.

However, can you say that "The Truman Show" did poorly at the box office?
You know, including China's box office, its total global box office is as high as 105 billion yuan, which is about 14.5 billion US dollars.

This data ranks second.

The number one movie is really great. With a total box office of US$16.94 billion, close to US$17 billion, it created a huge gap for "The Truman Show" to win the global box office championship.

Of course, there are very few Chinese netizens who pay attention to these. Everyone is more concerned about the domestic box office rankings. Except for Yang Yi's loyal fans.
"Director Yang is so unlucky. If "The Truman Show" was placed last year, it would still have won the championship. But this year, "Baby" came out, and foreign countries went crazy."

"Director Yang still has a long way to go to win the global box office championship. In fact, 17 billion is not the highest. The highest seems to be ten years ago. The ending of a comic book movie directly cut the global box office of 26 billion US dollars. box office."

"American movies are still very good. We can't just rely on Director Yang to fight alone! Other directors should also strive to do their best."

"Don't think about it. The only one you can trust is Yang Yi. How good do you want the other directors to be? No matter how good they are, they can only be in trouble. Yang Yi has already let Yang Yi out by winning the annual domestic box office championship. Yang Yi can The annual ranking of global box office is not only based on domestic box office, but also overseas box office. Overseas audiences know our Yang Yi. Who knows who you are when other people go abroad? "

"I really feel that it is a pity. I am only one step away from winning the global box office championship. It feels the same as "The Wandering Earth" back then. Wasn't "The Wandering Earth" also short of 100 million to reach 10 billion box office? This opportunity was lost. , I don’t know how many years it will take for the next time!”

"I think we can look forward to next year's "The Wandering Earth 2". Doesn't "The Wandering Earth 2" include Wu Nan? Yang Yi and Wu Nan join forces. I estimate that the box office results will be very explosive!"

"By the way, why are we only counting one movie? Didn't Yang Yi appear in two movies this year? The box office of "Once Upon a Time in China" and "The Truman Show" combined, I think it will hit the world They are all invincible!"

Yes, "Once Upon a Time in China Part 2: Men Should Be Strong" was also released on the National Day schedule.

However, before talking about this movie, we still have to talk about Yang Yi's situation after filming "The Wandering Earth 2".

The filming of "The Wandering Earth 2" went smoothly. It is worth mentioning that this movie uses more special effects than the first part of "The Wandering Earth". The characters played by Yang Yi and Wu Nan have different ages in the movie. It is very large. It is difficult to achieve the desired natural rejuvenation or aging effect by using makeup alone. In the end, expression capture technology and AI model technology were combined to create visual effects that are almost as real as real ones.

But Yang Yi's control over the crew was also superb, and he arranged the many special effects teams (including those with investment from Mumu Films and those without investment from Mumu Films) very properly. Several assistant directors, including Wu Nan himself, were recruited by Yang Yi as assistant directors. They led different groups of actors and different groups of special effects teams to complete the daily shooting plan extremely efficiently.

In addition, Yang Yi learned from Director Guo's experience and reduced the consumption of a lot of trial and error. "The Wandering Earth 2" did not take more than three years to shoot like the original film. Yang Yi's crew only took a few seconds from start to finish. It took half a year.

However, after filming "The Wandering Earth 2", Yang Yi did not continue to prepare for the next project non-stop. He stopped running.

"That's it for this year. I won't be filming for the remaining half a year. I will stay in the capital to spend time with Feifei and Xiaotao Ni. I will occasionally go to the company to check the post-production of "The Wandering Earth 2" ." Yang Yi explained to Le Zehan.

He has systematic support to restore body functions and keep himself youthful and energetic.

But after all, he is not a machine. After two or three consecutive years of high-intensity shooting without regular vacations, he also felt a little tired. Stopping for a rest, and at the same time spending time with his wife and his daughter who is growing up day by day, Yang Yi felt it was necessary.

"Okay, you can go and play with peace of mind. I will be watching over the company. However, there are still half a year left this year? Aren't there only four months left?" Le Zehan said with a smile.

"Isn't there still two months until next year's Spring Festival? You don't want me to film during the Spring Festival, right?" Yang Yi teased.

"Oh, that means next year is included! I will definitely not push you to film. Brother Yi, you are already a model worker in the industry. If I push you anymore, won't you become a ruthless capitalist? However, I won't push you. , there will still be fans urging you, they shout every day, 'The donkeys in the production team don't dare to rest like this'," Le Zehan said with a smile.

"I don't look at it, I don't listen to it. Anyway, I'm on vacation. There's nothing urgent. Don't call my cell phone." Yang Yi slipped away with ease.

His sabbatical certainly wasn't a complete sabbatical, though.

Li Mengfei doesn't stay at home with him every day. She occasionally goes to participate in commercial activities for brand endorsements.

Little Taro Ni goes to kindergarten during the day. She is happy at school and can play with friends of the same age. She doesn't remember her lonely old father at home at all.

Therefore, Yang Yi, who was used to working, couldn't sit still. He couldn't help but pick up the computer.

After a while, Cheng Chaojun received a WeChat message from Yang Yi: "Are you there?"
