Chapter 1,252 The Biggest Guest
There is actually an unwritten rule to judge the North American box office, that is, the box office of the first weekend. With this data, the total box office can be inferred. The box office of the first weekend is very important, and the high ones can reach 40% to 50% of the total box office.
It is different in North America and China. For example, some Chinese movies will be released for a month or even more for the total box office.
In North America, it is basically about 20 days, or even shorter. One first weekend, two full release weeks. Even if your movie has a high box office level, with the proportion of North American audiences entering the cinema, good movies must be watched early, and it is impossible to extend it to more than 20 days or a month later. Therefore, it is almost useless to extend the release period of North American movies. It is enough to leave a few screens to satisfy some audiences who really did not watch it for various reasons or audiences who have watched it N times. There is no effective value for the overall box office.
Hollywood movies also earn a lot of money by selling video tape copyrights. A short period after the release ends can still have a large amount of income.
"Departures" earned 150 million yuan in the first weekend, which is the box office level of a super commercial blockbuster. Another film by Chen Hao that will get both box office and word of mouth (awards) is coming out. The person who is most affected is not him, but James Wan, the director, who has suddenly become the most popular figure at the moment.
Chen Hao and Angelina Jolie are both figures who appear in the headlines all year round. The former is used to being the focus of world entertainment and is still busy at the Galaxy headquarters.
What is he busy with?
That touched Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV.
He was busy looking for a suitable shooting scene for "Running Man". There are too many places in the entire Galaxy Headquarters that can be used for shooting. It is certain that it is difficult to choose. The key is that the program team really has no face here. Red Dot Company doesn't care who you are. Even if you are the most popular program in China, you have no face here. The face is given for Mr. Chen's sake, which makes the program team feel a little bit unable to move forward. Fortunately, Xiao Di is here these two days. The identity of the king's wife is definitely face in Red Dot. Even those senior executives know that Mr. Chen loves his wife. He won the jade pendant from Mr. Yin and hung it on his wife's neck without hesitation as an ordinary thing. As long as they are not stupid, no one would want to offend the king's wife.
The visit is over, the premiere is over, and the Running Man program team began to move in officially. Chen Hao selected a few places, and then smiled and promised that the Running Man program team could take a photo of the actors currently staying in the Galaxy Headquarters at an appropriate opportunity.
Who?
Leo is the first super star.
Andy Lau, playing a tough general of the Federation.
Tony Leung plays a federal citizen who is climbing up the Empire and an important villain in the later period.
Kristen Stewart plays a genetic warrior who is secretly researched by the Empire.
And the Chinese actors who are gathering, these people will be members of the ground special operations team led by Chen Hao's character in batches. There are more action scenes and fewer literary scenes. The characters have their own characteristics, but can they really play out? You should audition first? Don't think that you are all big names. In my play, everyone is an actor. If you are not in place, I'm sorry.
Xiaodi knows that he will definitely not lack roles. The only reason he has not finalized is that he is waiting for his own progress. The more progress he makes, the more difficult and challenging roles he will have. So she is the more excited one. After filming "Train to Busan", she has changed as a whole person. This time, her appearance at the Galaxy Headquarters was also very successful. The title of the king's wife alone is not enough. If you really want to shine, you still have to rely on your own strength. Two sets of dresses and two appearances have made the world remember this oriental beauty with the title of the king's wife.
It is rare to have such a program, and it is also a rare big event.
At this time, the program crew is also very "selfish". Why invite guests? This kind of good thing must be given to their own family. Anyway, they are all here, so let's shoot a very special couple album.
Deng Chao, Sun Li. Li Chen, Fan Bingbing who has come out again. Chen He and his wife. Zheng Kai and his girlfriend. Wang Zulan and his wife. Baby and Huang Xiaozhu. Xiaodi plus Chen Hao.
This lineup was only thought about in the past Running Man programs. When Sun Li came, she was a separate guest celebrity. Now after the baptism of international style, Angelina Jolie also participated in that episode. Chen Hao and her directly pushed the ratings to the point of explosion. This time they came to the Galaxy headquarters again. Although the program crew did not dare to really disturb those celebrities, they were allowed to conduct some external shooting in the dormitory area, and occasionally a celebrity appeared in the camera.
I heard that Leo might be invited to participate in this episode, so the so-called all-star lineup is just like that. If it weren't for Chen Hao, everyone would have to play supporting roles in this episode.
Look at Andy Lau and Tony Leung. The Running Man program never dared to think of inviting these two. It's not that they are so arrogant, but they don't need to participate in similar programs. Although Aaron Kwok has become a regular guest of variety shows, these two don't seem to have any plans to participate in similar variety shows. Andy Lau is better, he will participate in some interview variety shows, but you can hardly see Tony Leung. He has embarked on the path of a Hollywood actor, concentrating on filming. It takes a certain amount of time to settle down after taking a role, and he must be outstanding in playing a role.
He also has his own troubles. He still can't escape the invitations for some commercial film roles. There are personal connections, but he can't afford to offend others. There is also the need for his own income. When you watch Tony Leung's films, they are either classic films with classic roles, or mediocre films and roles that you want to criticize. At most, the films are bad but the roles are not bad.
He stayed at the Galaxy headquarters this time. In fact, the thinking of the role is secondary. He found an excuse to make himself more closely connected with Chen Hao. If it weren't for his age and seniority, he would have come over long ago. Following him, it seems that Tony Leung can fulfill his unfulfilled wish - to be an actor peacefully, not be affected by the outside world, focus on doing every role well, and have enough income guarantee.
In other words, Chen Hao made the invitation. Otherwise, with his personality, he would never agree to get involved with the Running Man program group. He doesn't have much sense of variety. He was forced to participate in some variety shows when he just debuted, and he didn't leave any pictures worth recalling. At this age, he is even more at a loss when facing variety shows.
The night before the filming started, all four of them were invited to the dinner table by Chen Hao. They ate from a self-service hot pot. The square tables were put together to form a long table. Everyone could sit at one table to eat. It was a self-service hot pot. It was more casual when eating, and there was no delay in chatting. There was also an atmosphere for drinking. There were many kinds of dried fruit snacks and items such as beef jerky and smoked sauce on the table, which could be added anytime and anywhere. There were all kinds of fresh hot pot ingredients placed against the wall at the back. Everyone could have a special cart similar to that of a hot pot restaurant, and take their favorite food and put it into the hot pot continuously.
Twenty people sat together, and Chen Hao specifically pulled Kristen away from Xiao Di. Only he dared to make this joke, and it was also because he and Kristen had a very comfortable cooperation before, and the relationship had always been good. Even this publicly out-of-the-closet actress even had a hint of male-female ambiguity with him that she shouldn't have.
Kristen didn't care at all, spread her hands, sat next to Leo, pointed at Chen Hao and showed a naughty smile. Soon, she and Xiao Lizi were attracted by the rich and diverse Chinese smoked sauces, especially spicy chicken feet, which made the two of them breathe heavily to get rid of the spicy feeling, but they still refused to give up the state of feasting.
"We have to shoot in a while, it's almost done, I asked someone to pack a box for you, plastic-wrapped and put it away to eat slowly, and you can eat it when you go back in the ordinary packaging."
The two of them actually did not hide their eating habits because everyone present was in the circle, so there was no need to make themselves seem very different. After hearing Chen Hao's reminder, they repeatedly indicated that the shooting would wait for a while, we haven't eaten enough.
"The shooting in a while may be put on the back, and we have an early shooting activity tomorrow morning. You four will get it no matter how you draw lots, just finish the shooting." Chen Hao gave them the final explanation of the shooting.
It is definitely not possible to tear off the name tags, and they will be restrained here. Even the oldest Huang Xiaoming cannot compare with Andy Lau and Tony Leung in terms of qualifications. There will be nothing to tear off at that time, and it will be just polite, which lacks viewing.
It is not interesting to shoot games, and we cannot make the king look bad, which will inevitably make the confrontation during the shooting worse, which is not what Chen Hao wants.
It is better to directly shoot everyone eating and chatting about something during the process, shoot for more than ten or twenty minutes, and cut out seven or eight minutes of footage.
Tomorrow morning, everyone likes a session called punishment or experience-based wake-up service. Although everyone is prepared in advance and is not the so-called real makeup, it will still make the audience like everyone's side in life.
Tomorrow, we will draw lots to set the topic, and then open the door of the resident to have an experience-based wake-up. Of course, this method must be strange and must be the kind of wake-up method that can stimulate the audience's interest.
Little Leo, Kristen, King Liu, and Tony Leung will be added to the lottery as special guests. As for the question of how to rest at night because there are eight pairs this time, the program group will separate everyone for a more interesting program effect, increasing the real fun of the lottery at that time. After all, the unknown is the most surprising. That kind of surprise makes everyone feel real from the heart, and it will feel better when it is transmitted to the camera and the audience.
