Chapter 1143 Celebration Banquet

The next day, many media entertainment sections or pure entertainment news began to report and comment on this movie. The score given by the famous movie review website Rotten Tomatoes actually reached 8.2, and the freshness of Rotten Tomatoes reached 93%. , this score and freshness are terrible, because it has directly surpassed the score and freshness of many art films. ＋◆＋◆, as a pure action movie, this rating is really unprecedented.

Jeremy Berger, a special entertainment critic of "Entertainment Weekly", wrote his review article:...Since there are movies, many people are trying to break through, and each time is more serious...Yesterday I saw Another breakthrough in the movie, this time the breakthrough has surpassed the limit of human beings, I don't know how to describe this movie, just based on Fan Zhen's madness, no one can surpass him except himself, and he Where can I go? No one can predict it... I can only say that no matter what the plot of this movie is, please remember one person's name, that is Fan Zhen, a great actor...

The well-known film weekly "Variety Show" also has its unique perspective. It commented on this movie. The reviews are relatively comprehensive. This kind of cliché has brought out new tricks, which makes people unresolved and boring, and will not make the plot upside down and pretend to be mysterious. He grasped one word, that is "compact". Yes, the soul of an action movie lies here. Only the compactness of the plot can catch people's hearts, and it hangs in mid-air, hitting it with a speeding truck from time to time.

Then there is a comment on Zhen Fan's performance, which is also an affirmation of Zhen Fan. But it also pointed out some of its shortcomings: Fan Zhen should be regarded as the most desperate actor in Hollywood from now on. He didn't use a stand-in and completed so many thrilling moves by himself. Thrilling and exciting every time. Constantly stimulating people's adrenaline, coupled with perfect long shots and different angles. To be honest, I can already bow down at Fan Zhen's feet, he is the leader in this area. But... we all know that it is impossible for an action movie to bring out much of an actor's acting talent. So in this movie, we didn't see the plump performance of an actor at the actor's level. This may be the reason why many action actors do not get the Oscar for best actor...

Of course, many online media and physical entertainment publications are commenting on this movie, and the results of the reviews are similar, but this does not prevent the global release the next day. This time, the global release will be in twelve countries including China. The country is released at the same time, and the box office statistics on the first day are enough to make all the main creators happy. The first-day box office in North America reached US$130 million, breaking the previous record of US$97 million set by "Avengers Part II". On the first day in China, the box office exceeded 500 million soft sister coins. It directly broke the record of 400 million in the seventh part of "Fast and Furious", creating a new standard line.

So when the box office statistics for the three days of the first weekend came out, everyone was taken aback. The North American box office exceeded 250 million U.S. dollars, and the first overseas box office exceeded 300 million U.S. dollars. Among them, the biggest contribution is the box office in China, which reached 220 million US dollars. It is almost catching up with the local box office figures in North America. So it grossed $560 million worldwide in its opening weekend,

Hitting a billion dollars is estimated to have no problem. Moreover, in this international market, there are two important movie ticket warehouses, that is, Japan and South Korea in the Asian region that will be registered next week.

A piece of good news. It made Bit very happy, and James Carmel, who invested in the film, was also very excited. Therefore, at the mention of Gary and other creative staff, Bit decided to hold a public celebration party. He set up a banquet hall on the top floor of the Hilton Hotel and invited the main creators and investors of the film.

This time it was Warner that had the happiest smile. Their global president, Jeff Oakes, personally participated in the celebration banquet. And Zhen Fan still only brought Christine to participate. Among the main creators who came. Emma and Chloe Moritz also came over, and when they saw Christine, they warmly came forward to say hello.

Zhen Fan had a headache. I don't know what these three women will say when they are together. So when the women say hello. Even though Emma glanced at him from time to time, Zhen Fan pretended not to see it solemnly. Fortunately, that little witch, Keluo Moritz, never opened her eyes to look at Zhen Fan from the beginning to the end. This made him let go of a lot of thoughts.

Zhen Fan was a relatively latecomer. When he entered the hotel along the way, there were reporters following him to take pictures. When he reached the conference hall, he still became the focus of the party. Suddenly, many reporters' cameras and video cameras were right. Yes Zhen Fan, this time not many people ask questions, just take pictures.

Because Bit has said hello before, no interviews will be accepted at the celebration banquet, because after the celebration banquet, there will be a special press conference. At that time...you can say whatever you want. With Bit's guarantee, the reporters all exercised restraint.

"This is your movie, you came so late!" Bit was talking to a group of people, suddenly felt some commotion at the door, so he turned his head and saw Zhen Fan, taking advantage of Christine being dragged away by two women At that time, Bit came over and pulled Zhen Fan over there.

"No, this is your movie, if you didn't force me..." Zhen Fan tried to quibble, but Bit didn't care about it, and pulled him into his own circle.

"Zhen, it's great to see you!" Among the group of people, suddenly a fat man opened his arms towards Zhen Fan and rushed over. It was obviously a high-speed truck, and that guy was trying to give Zhen Fan A big bear hug, this is Jeff Oakes, the global president of Time Warner.

Zhen Fan hugged him, and felt that his arms were not long enough to hug his back, and his belly was indeed a bit big, but Jeff Oakes was very enthusiastic and desperately wanted to hug Zhen Fan , As a result, both of them could barely hug each other. After letting go, Jeff held Zhen Fan's hand.

"You're like an angel." Jeff Oakes' words were a bit tingly. He grabbed Zhen Fan's hand and said as he walked, "This result is so exciting. To be honest, no movie It shocked me so much. When I first invested, I thought that you still have bits, which is the best combination in the world and the best money-making machine. No one can make more money than you, and no one can compare..." There's no limit to what this guy can say.

"It's just luck, Mr. Oakes!" Zhen Fan blinked at Bit, and Bit heard it too, and pretended not to see it. He had seen Jeff Oaks' face before, so he decided not to disgust himself anymore, and turned his head Don't care about it, let Zhen Fan grit his teeth, you bastard.

"No, no, no, it's not luck, it's strength, you are a talented actor, no one can compare to you!" Jeff Oakes shook his fat head repeatedly and said, "To be honest, Zhen, I really admire you and Bit of course. I have even thought about the investment plan for our next film, and I can assure you today that no matter what film you make, even if it is a damn literary film, I will also fully invest in you, as much as you want, we are already old friends of cooperation..."

"Yes, Mr. Oaks..." Zhen Fan tried to explain his situation.

"Call me Jeff, that's what my friends call me. You are my close friend, why don't you call me Jeff?" Jeff Oakes said quickly, "I have always regarded you as my closest friend .” This guy really has no bottom line. Zhen Fan also knows that when you succeed, these people want to cooperate with you again immediately, but once you fail, they will not be so straightforward and affectionate.

"Okay, Jeff...it's like this, Bit and I already have a plan for the next movie..." Zhen Fan wanted to tell this guy the plan of the movie he invested in, and let him die. Tiao Xin, stop entangled with yourself on this. So he considered it and opened his mouth.

"Aha——I knew it, I knew you would take advantage of the victory to pursue it. This is really good news. When I went out today, I felt my heart beating very fast. I knew there would be good news waiting for me. Once again we will be a perfect cooperation, thank God..." Jeff Oakes danced when he heard it.

"But... Jeff, I'm sorry, this movie... Bitter and I have decided that no external investment is needed. Of course we may cooperate in some aspects, but we have already decided on the investment. We Decided to invest by myself, the amount is temporarily set at 200 million U.S. dollars!" Zhen Fan shrugged his shoulders at Jeff Oaks, spread his hands and smiled helplessly, "This is to satisfy me and my lover and friends. Wish, I want to invest in a movie by myself, and I can shoot whatever I want. I can completely ignore the box office. Because this is tantamount to a huge adventure for any film company, so... It’s really a pity. "

Jeff Oakes was a little discouraged when he heard it. When he wanted to fight for it, Bit next to him also turned around, looked at Jeff Oakes and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, Jeff, we are old partners in cooperation. , you have given me great support. To be honest, I really want to cooperate with you, but this is Zhen's idea. I have to say sorry, but... you know, as long as you are still in Warner, I will The movies of Zhen and Zhen will always find you and ask for money."

These words turned Jeff Oakes' face. Although he still didn't give up, Jeff Oakes sighed and said: "Remember what you said today, Bit, damn it, you lied to me for so long, if It’s not that Zhen said it, I don’t know yet, remember, you must let me participate next time. Also... If you don’t have enough funds when you are filming, you should consider me as soon as possible.”

"Of course, why not?" Bit shrugged his shoulders at him, and then quietly blinked at Zhen Fan. (To be continued..) u
