Chapter 1811 Go to the Movies
After coming to the United States, after such a long period of training, Yin Jun clearly felt that Lizhi became a lot more cheerful.
At least in terms of expression, she will be more active in communicating with Yin Jun.
Even Yin Jun could feel that she was discharging electricity to him.
Although he was very shy, the young man did not tell the truth, but was enjoying this little ambiguity.
He is not a fool, of course he knows how attractive he is to women.
People like Lizhi, who have been living their lives listening to Yin Jun's miracles almost since arriving in Xiangjiang, and then witnessing Yin Jun's new glory all the way, are inevitably attracted to him.
Men like beautiful women, and beautiful women don’t like men like Yin Jun who are geniuses and monsters.
Isn't it something to be proud of that he was able to attract Li Mei without deliberately dating her?
Although Lizhi was not popular in the entertainment industry in her previous life, who wouldn't want to possess such a beautiful and hot beauty?
But except for Mr. He from Austria who had an affair with her, I haven't heard of anyone having a successful affair. Doesn't this mean that she knows how to protect herself and is not that kind of casual woman?
Such a woman is certainly worthy of being liked by men.
So during this meal, Yin Jun guided Lizhi to use her eloquence and talk about many aspects.
This is also the most comfortable and most comfortable time that Lizhi has spoken in such a long time.
So after eating, she became more and more radiant.
Then she suggested going to the movies.
Let’s take a look at the comedy movie “Home Alone” that has become extremely popular recently and is being talked about in the streets and alleys.
Louis Koo has transformed from the fragile, neurotic child who lived in fear all the time in "The Sixth Sense" to a quirky, clever and playful kid.
Such a change immediately aroused people's interest.
Coupled with the powerful plot and the smooth shooting and editing of Columbus, the whole film is full of childlike fun and innocence, making it naturally the most suitable for family fun.
According to statistics from the New York Times, at least 30% of families in North America with children under the age of 15 have watched "Home Alone."
Not only children and parents, but also many young people and couples in their twenties also like this kind of movie and gave it a thumbs up after watching it.
There are even people who are doing second or third time brushing.
This fact proves that the most successful movies on the market are always those that cater to all age groups.
Especially comedy.
In an era without dazzling special effects technology, or even in an era with special effects technology occupying most of the sky, comedy movies are still the most important part of all movie series.
Before the appearance of "Wolf Warrior 2" and "Operation Red Sea", all the top box office movies in the mainland were comedies.
Even if it is a dark-toned movie like "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", there are still a lot of comedy elements in it. Otherwise, not many people will buy it even if Xingye's signature is there.
The "Home Alone" series in the previous life also strongly created the pinnacle of live-action comedy movies, with a cumulative global box office of more than 1.5 billion US dollars.
The U.S. box office of the first two movies alone exceeded 650 million US dollars!
If calculated based on the price index at that time, no comedy movie before or after this could achieve as high a box office as it did.
Especially the first one, which not only earned US$270 million in box office in North America, but also US$260 million in other markets.
The most important thing is that its reputation is so strong that the second part is not as amazing as the first part. It also earned 360 million US dollars in box office in North America, which is higher than the first part!
Unfortunately, after Macaulay Culkin grew up, the later "Home Alone" films lacked some flavor, and suffered from aesthetic fatigue and other reasons, so the later films no longer had the brilliance of the first two.
This life is different.
It was originally the most powerful and popular first film, but Yin Jun has made detailed modifications and improvements to make it more interesting and slightly more thrilling.
After all, lukewarm comedies are not very suitable for Americans.
In this regard, Jim Carrey's Dumb and Dumber is the best proof.
It's just that because this is a family movie, those scenes of shitting and peeing are naturally impossible to show.
As early as November, "Home Alone" carried out overwhelming publicity. The publicity cost alone was as high as 40 million US dollars, which was four times the production cost!
With such a series of preparations, "Home Alone" landed in North American theaters on Friday, December 21, and took in a box office of US$21 million that night.
This result is not excellent, but all the children who watched this movie called their friends and actively recommended this most hilarious movie to them.
Then the next day on Saturday, "Home Alone", which had received explosive reviews, reported 32 million U.S. dollars, and 30 million U.S. dollars on Sunday. The three-day opening weekend totaled 83 million U.S. dollars, not far away from breaking 100 million!
It’s absolutely terrifying that a movie with a production cost of no more than 10 million U.S. dollars and a marketing and distribution cost of no more than 50 million U.S. dollars almost made its money back at the box office during its first weekend.
The key is that the box office of this first weekend was 83 million US dollars, which has never been seen since "The Lion King" the year before last!
Many market observers have actively declared that this is very likely to be a movie that directly exceeds 500 million U.S. dollars at the North American box office!
Now, the North American film market, stirred by Yin Jun, has surpassed that of previous generations.
At least there are five or six more movies with a box office of over 200 million US dollars in North America than in the previous life, and even more movies with a box office of over 100 million US dollars.
But there are really only a few films that can surpass 500 million U.S. dollars at the North American box office.
So far, that's just four movies: "Star Wars," "Jaws," "E.T." and "The Lion King."
Needless to say, "Star Wars" is the science fiction totem of American movies. Whoever doesn't like it is not the American movie fan's fault.
"Jaws" is Spielberg's most stunning debut. Looking at the creativity and thrills 30 years later, it is extremely outstanding. Coupled with the element of luck, it can get so much box office.
This is even more true for "E.T.". This heartwarming movie full of the most beautiful childlike innocence in the world is enough to touch everyone. It is only natural that the box office will exceed 1 billion.
The last "Lion King" was released 10 years earlier than the previous one, and its production was even more sophisticated. Coupled with the powerful publicity, bets with North American journalists, etc., it was a coincidence that it even surpassed "The Lion King". E.T." A little box office.
If "Home Alone" can be included in the 500 million club, it would be really awesome.
The next development was actually similar to these predictions. The second week coincided with the Christmas period. Children and adults on vacation came together to watch "Home Alone", making it a box office of 105 million US dollars. It set the first-ever box office performance for the next week.
In the third week now, before the weekend, it has achieved a score of almost 30 million. It is estimated that 60 million in one week will be no pressure.
Looking at it like this, it’s really going to hit the U.S. box office of 500 million US dollars!
Upon hearing Lizhi's invitation, Yin Jun remembered that it was a bit outrageous that he had never read the script he had written, the director and the protagonist he had chosen.
So he took Lizhi and went straight to the cinema.
After watching a movie, the whole audience burst into laughter.
Lizhi originally wanted to retain some of the girl's reserve, but she couldn't help laughing.
Yin Jun had seen it once in his previous life, but this version was by Gu Tianle, but it was different from Macaulane's in his previous life.
So he took it very seriously.
Children's acting skills actually require more talent.
Through teaching and learning, that’s just the icing on the cake.
Macaulay Culkin's talent is very suitable for this movie. Well, it should be said that when Columbus created this movie, he had the image of this young actor who had worked with him in his mind, so it fit so well. Outstanding.
Yin Jun recommended Gu Tianle, but that was a hard recommendation.
Most of the comedy movies that Louis Koo starred in in his previous life were second-rate or third-rate, but the action movies that Louis Koo starred in were pretty good.
Therefore, Yin Jun did not directly cast Gu Tianle in the beginning, but chose to let him work as a supporting role in Xiangjiang for a few months, and then filmed two episodes of the comedy movie "Good Boy" before letting him come to the United States. country.
When he came to the United States, he didn't immediately start filming "Home Alone." Yin Jun also prepared "The Sixth Sense" for him.
First, I was preparing to train him again and let him get used to the production model of the American crew.
The other thing is to help Goo Jai improve his reputation in the United States, so as not to appear in front of Americans as a stranger and make them feel less familiar.
Goo Jai in the movie finally lived up to Yin Jun's painstaking efforts.
His quirky look is very similar to Macaulay, but he has more agility than Macaulay - after all, he learned a lot from Zhao Wenzhuo and Wu Jing when he was filming "Good Boy" real Kong Fu.
In this way, the addition of Chinese Kung Fu elements immediately made up for Goo Jai's weakness of not being an American, and made him look more interesting.
You will know it when the children come out of the cinema and make "hehehahaha" signs.
Accompanied by bodyguards and Lizhi, Yin Jun walked to the parking lot.
But before she got in the car, Lizhi didn't know where she mustered up the courage and said to Yin Jun: "How about... come and sit at my house?"
Yin Jun was stunned and subconsciously looked at his watch. It was already around 10 o'clock in the evening.
It was obvious what a single woman meant when she invited a man to her home so late at night.
When Lizhi saw Yin Jun looking at her, she felt shy and flustered, and almost buried her head in the towering mountain peak.
Although Zhu Xi has been encouraging her to hook up with Yin Jun, she has always been shy and unwilling to become a bad woman in Yin Jun's mind, so she did nothing every time.
In fact, she also longs for it in her heart. She can fall in love and interact with Yin Jun, and then become his woman naturally. That is the most romantic thing.
It's a pity that there are too many women around Yin Jun, not only beauties, but also big stars. Compared with them, what advantage does Lizhi have?
Today we spent a lot of time abroad, had dinner and watched a movie. It was a normal dating process.
In such a foreign country, Lizhi can certainly be more courageous than usual. Anyway, no one will see her, so she is not afraid of embarrassment!
However, after saying this, Lizhi was still a little worried, for fear of being rejected by Yin Jun, which would be more embarrassing than Yin Jun's acceptance.
Seeing her charming and charming appearance, Yin Jun's heart moved, and he subconsciously responded: "Okay!"
Such a good time, beautiful scenery, and such a beautiful woman, it should be worth it!
