Big names rise

《冷心》10月29日北美上映，11月2日内地周二半价日首映，东影节闭幕典礼的时间是10月31日。

So the next arrangement is to promote "Cold Heart" in the United States before the 29th, and return to China to run for the mainland promotion of "Cold Heart" before the 29th and 31st. Fortunately, He Mu had already recorded some promotional videos before going to Tokyo, so he wasn't too nervous. The company had worked hard for "Cold Heart", so he couldn't lose the chain, right?After the 31st, He Mu participated in the awards ceremony of the East Film Festival. He Mu returned to China and continued to make final preparations for the release of "Cold Heart". A step up, "Cold Heart" has another good publicity point.

In order for Joseph and Scarlett to come to China, Shuimu Forest and Touchstone made a lot of negotiations. After all, letting them come to China to promote the movie will inevitably sacrifice the promotion time in North America, even though they have long been drawn by He Mu's Chinese food and Tempted by the beautiful scenery, but the spirit of the contract requires them to focus on the needs of the film company during this period of time. We left without even getting the first-day box office data for "Cold Heart".

"Please come in, both of you, this is my home." He Mu first invited Joseph and Scarlett to his home as guests, they wanted to see He Mu's wife and children very much.

"Oh, is this the Lamborghini you won from the governor by arm wrestling?" Joseph first saw the Remington sports car that hadn't entered the garage yet.

"Well, indeed. This car has a good performance, but it's a pity that it can't perform to its level in the crowded capital city, so I feel sorry for it." He Mu smiled and stroked his beloved car.Just as she was talking, Zhang Zilin walked out with her daughter in her arms, and when she saw He Mu who suddenly appeared, she wished she could throw He Bayi away immediately so that she could give He Mu a warm hug, but she was still reluctant, so she became He Mu. Mu hugged Zilin, separated by He Bayi who was in the way.In the end, He Mu abandoned his wife, hugged and kissed his daughter enough, but Bayi blocked his face with his tender pink hands in disgust.

Intimacy for a while.He Mu thought of introducing them to each other. Zhang Zilin naturally knew these two Hollywood stars. Needless to say, Scarlett is a sexy actress of the new generation of Hollywood.Frequently appear in some famous international fashion magazines.Joseph may not be well-known in China, but after learning that her husband was going to cooperate with him, Zi Lin specially found Joseph's famous "Five Hundred Days with Summer" to read.

Although Scarlett Joseph has never met Zhang Zilin before, they often hear about his good wife and mother from He Mu, and they also know that Mrs. He has won the Miss World title, which is fashionable in any country in the world It is the oldest one of the three major beauty pageants in the world, and it is able to win this honor.It must be stunning.

In fact, Scarlett couldn't help but praise Zhang Zilin as soon as she saw her.She is also a beautiful woman. Scarlett admired Zhang Zilin who was over 1.8 meters tall when she met her for the first time, exuding a touch of peace and maternity. For her compliments, Zhang Zilin also answered her compliments in English very generously and quickly. The two chatted together, and He Bayi was also embraced by Scarlett. It seems that this little doll is still very attractive.

Originally, Zi Lin wanted to take her daughter out, but since there were guests at home, the original plan was cancelled, and the treatment of international friends must reflect the importance of parentage as the host.

On the first day of the two foreign friends in China, He Mu was ready to show off as soon as he got home. He kept telling Scarlett, a culinary apprentice, that he didn't even show half of his strength in the United States. In this place, I will definitely give her a table of delicacies that she will never forget.He himself had forgotten about this, but he didn't expect Scarlett to remember He Mu's promise, so he could only watch helplessly as his daughter was teased by Scarlett, and his sports car was touched by Joseph, but he He could only viciously dissect a large yellow croaker in the kitchen.

Scarlett admired her own skills. If she hadn't seen the teacher's wife present, she would definitely give a hot kiss. In addition to showing her skills, He Mu also invited them to Quanjude for dinner at night. Roast Duck.

When she first saw the greasy roast duck, Scarlett, who was very concerned about her figure, didn't want to eat it, but just ate cucumber sticks dipped in sauce. Later, Joseph started it first. Scarlett's appetite was overwhelmed, and she finally took a small sip with the attitude of "going all out", and then couldn't stop anymore. After He Mu taught her the correct way to eat, classmate Joseph could hardly grab it.Before leaving, she even took a picture of Quanjude’s signboard, saying that she might not find it next time she comes to China. It seems that Quanjude Roast Duck has successfully conquered this sexy Hollywood stunner. Her friend recommended Chinese food.

What China is worth recommending to the world is not only delicious food. On the second day, He Mu took them to visit the Forbidden City and climb the Great Wall. They had a great time and let the two foreign friends see the greatness of Chinese architecture and the essence of Chinese civilization. Brilliant, hearing the exclamation of the two, He Mu is also very proud. As a member of this great civilization, He Mu is so honored.

As for the work, it was all done during the breaks between eating, drinking and having fun, but it didn't delay things. The media were very accommodating to these two international big names.The domestic media's admiration for foreigners is similar to those of film critics. Even though the two are not top stars in the United States, since they came to the mainland, He Mu, a top mainland star, has been robbed of the limelight. In a photo of two people traveling together on the Great Wall, both Scarlett and Joseph are very clearly photographed. In related reports, He Mu’s name can only be ranked third. In a photo of three people traveling together on the Great Wall, He Mu Not even a straight face.However, the benefits are also obvious. "Cold Heart", which has not yet been released, has always been at the top of the Internet search list, and the online topics and news have topped the film of the same schedule. There are still two days left, but the opinions of mainland audiences are eager to see. Even if it is a castrated version, they I also believe that the Hollywood movie starring He Mu is of guaranteed quality.

In the November schedule when the popularity of the National Day file has faded and the Lunar New Year file has not yet arrived, whether "Cold Heart" can heat up the market has become a topic of concern to insiders. As for the movie that has already been released, it is produced by Huayi Brothers. Starring Wu Jing, Wu Zhenyu, etc., Gao Qunshu's new work "West Wind" has not been recognized by the audience and the market, and the performance is not satisfactory. It has become unsatisfactory to surpass "The Wind" Possible mission, soon, Shuimu Forest will collide with Huayi Brothers again. The last time "The Battle of Shama Town" was over 11 million under the pressure of "Tangshan Earthquake", it is hard to say what will happen this time.

Not to mention the mainland, when He Mu returned to China at noon the next day, due to jet lag, He Mu had just received from Jeff the first-day box office results of "Cold Heart" in the United States.

The box office statistics in North America are much faster and more accurate than those in the mainland. For example, in the mainland, if you want to get the box office on the first day, you can almost only rely on the distributor to contact the theaters. Add up one by one to get an approximate figure, but here in the United States, you can get an accurate figure. Single-digit box office figures.

On Friday, "Cold Heart" officially landed in 2500 theaters in North America, and was screened on 2900 screens. The box office reached 890 million US dollars on the first day!This is the first time that He Mu's starring movie has been released on a large scale in the United States, and the box office is not bad. I believe that after this time, He Mu's internationalization path will have new breakthroughs. Whether there will be another international star in the domestic film industry is a question. It is something domestic filmmakers have been concerned about, and the success of this matter mainly depends on the North American box office performance of "Cold Heart".

Although Touchstone tried its best to fight for it, the theaters are still more optimistic about "Saw 7". More than "Cold Heart", it was released on 3 screens in 7 theaters, but the box office sales of these more than 2800 screens on the first day were only 3200 million.

That is to say, in the first encounter with "Chain Saw 7", "Cold Heart" achieved box office results that surpassed the opponent's on the premise that the release scale was lower than the opponent's! "Saw 7" is known as the last of the series, and it's still a 3D version, and the ticket price is slightly higher, but "Cold Heart" can beat "Saw" on the first day. Another important reason is that "Cold Heart" has been praised by film critics before it was released, and "Chain Saw 7" and the previous Like several sequels, it is considered to be a money-making work for the sequel, and it is not necessary to convert it into a 3D version.In the United States, the ratings of film critics can affect the viewing trends of a large number of people.

So it's not surprising that "Cold Heart" can overwhelm "Chain Saw 7" on the first day. As for "Spirituality: Ghost Story 3200", which was released in Hall 2, it is no longer brilliant, with a box office of only 620 million US dollars on Friday. It has basically lost the strength to compete for the weekend box office champion. There is no doubt that this weekend's box office champion will be born from "Cold Heart" and "Chain Saw 7". Although the opening scale is smaller, "Cold Heart" has an expert reputation The word-of-mouth and the audience are far better than "Chain Saw 7", which played the same trick seven times, so the result is almost certain, but in the Halloween schedule, who will become the one with the highest box office is still an unanswerable suspense .

When "Cold Heart" and "Saw 7" were stalemate in the North American box office, He Mu sent Scarlett and Joseph on the plane back to the United States and then boarded the plane to Tokyo. In an hour, the East Film Festival Awards Ceremony is about to begin... (To be continued...)
