Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The popularity of Superman was expected, but it did not damage the success of Li Donglai's documentary.

    Recommended by many celebrities and countless fans with the beautiful vision of "meeting their idols", the box office has soared.  But this week, it was really stormy and surrounded by powerful enemies.

    From June 21, 2013 to June 23, 2013, the North American box office was announced. In the face of strong enemies, Disney Pixar's 2013 summer animation masterpiece "Monsters University" was released in 4,004 theaters in North America; Phantom/b  The zombie apocalypse-themed thriller "Armageddon," co-produced by the planning company and starring Brad Pitt, was also released on a large scale in 3,607 theaters before this weekend.

    Not only are the new films fierce, but the old films are not willing to give up.

    Among them is "Now You See Me", which "I thought it would be like that". This week is the fourth consecutive week of release. The North American box office has a slight decline. It collected another US$12.29 million this week, achieving a breakthrough of US$119 million at the North American box office.  , the global box office has also steadily entered the ranks of 380 million US dollars, which is really reverse growth.  The number of moviegoers is increasing. Although this fast-paced magic-themed movie is not new in terms of story, its plots such as acrobatics and magic bank theft have gradually spread on the Internet, attracting many fans to watch the movie and making the movie more popular.  The drop is not huge.

    Not only did it overtake "Fast and Furious 6" after its fourth week of release in North America, it was also infinitely close to Sony's "Armageddon" which had a box office of 13.29 million in its second week of release.

    This result is enough for the Phantom to hold a celebration party.

    Especially ab was overjoyed. She herself became famous in the United States because of this movie.  In the new round of selection of the world's most beautiful celebrities by American media and fashion magazines, she ranked 12th and China ranked first.

    Never mind how authoritative this magazine is.  The media is so pissy anyway.  Some people say that you are the most beautiful woman in China. You can just enjoy it secretly, but you still have to distinguish between them?  So ab was so lucky to become "the most beautiful woman in China", and her net worth soared.

    Another new film this week is "Armageddon", an "epic" zombie-themed doomsday action film. This film unites Lee Dong-lai and Brad Pitt and has attracted much attention since the beginning of filming.

    This film is adapted from the science fiction novel of the same name by Max Brooks, and was personally adapted by Li Donglai, the Oscar-winning screenwriter.

    Because the novel uses a lot of narrative techniques such as narration and flashback.  There is no clear protagonist who tells the story - the protagonist in the novel is just a clue that connects other characters and stories, and is not a "narrator" in the typical sense.

    ¡°Li Donglai made certain adaptations to the structure of the novel and reintegrated the materials.  Let the protagonist played by Brad Pitt become the real protagonist.  This is the premise for the film to be watchable, and secondly, it is also to highlight the role played by Brad Pitt.  James Badge Dale, Matthew Fox, David Moss and other stars will also join, forming a star-studded trend.

    Of course, there is also the zombie wavelet ss experimented by Li Donglai.  It caused a lot of trouble for the protagonist.  In the end, he was killed by the protagonist's headshot.

    ? Two trailers were previously released, both of which caused great shock around the world.

    The first trailer presents the audience with the "worldliness" of this zombie war in a panoramic manner. Different from the small format of traditional zombie movies, the zombie scene created with CG is full of impact. Zombies are coming like locusts.  Stacking up the Great Wall really magnified the zombie movie to the level of a disaster movie.  Brad Pitt's action and family lines in the film are both exciting and exciting.  Pete's beloved wife, played by Mireille Enos, the star of the hit American TV series "The Murder," will be separated from him by life and death.

    From the trailer, the audience can also see another major adaptation of the film, in which all zombies are as fast as flying.  This modification may be opposed by many zombie fans, because in previous zombie movies, zombies moved very slowly.

    But this was set by Li Donglai, which is considered a major innovation in zombie movies. In the behind-the-scenes interview video of the trailer, he also explained the reason for this setting, "We cannot limit ourselves to the scale in front of us and make zombies stronger.  It is considered a subversive treatment (actually it has already appeared in "Dawn of the Dead", "28 Days Later", and "I Am Legend"). Judging from interviews with the producer/screenwriter/director, the zombies in the film are very  There may be more than one, or the zombies themselves can adjust their speed.

    This trailer, which is only 34 seconds long, shockingly conveys the theme to movie fans in one word, which is quite spectacular.  The trailer begins with Brad Pitt's line "What's going on?", and then the whole city begins to shake. In the film, there are piles of zombies, climbing up human walls, a city falling, and someone holding the ultimate weapon.  elite troops.

    I believe "World War Z" will be the most epic of all zombie movies.

    The film was first acquired by Brad Pitt¡¯s company in 2011.After obtaining the rights, he found Phantom, joined forces with Li Donglai, and was finally invested in filming last year. It can be said that there are many good things going on.

    It is also worth mentioning that the biggest difference between "World War Z" and other zombie movies is that it is political-themed. The original work describes that the zombie crisis broke out in China, and also touches on sensitive topics such as Tibet.  If World War Z is a box office success, it could be followed by two sequels, forming a complete trilogy.

    In the past two years, various zombie-themed films have emerged in an endless stream, and the genre is not just a simple horror film, and "World War Z" obviously cannot be simply classified as a doomsday-themed science fiction film or a horror zombie film.

    If the popular American drama "The Walking Dead" produced by Phantom and broadcast on AMC TV reflects the changes in human worldview and values ????in the context of apocalypse from the perspective of a small group of survivors, then "World War Z" stands on another level.  It reflects on some of the problems in today's human society and also warns about the future of this society.

    This may be the most in-depth and unique zombie movie ever, breaking the traditional zombie movie story mode of being trapped in one place and seeking help.

    When it premiered in North America, Li Donglai only played a cameo role as a zombie boss in the movie.  But when walking the red carpet with Brad, they were neck and neck.

    The two giants are fighting together.  Take on Disney-Pixar¡¯s Monsters University.

    Playing handsome together, unlimited, naturally topics.

    Old handsome guy Brad Pitt has been popular for so many years, and he becomes more and more attractive as he gets older.  In addition, Li Donglai's documentary is being screened around the world and may break the box office record of documentaries. It has also attracted the attention of global entertainment media.  The two men teamed up to make news and became a global entertainment hotspot that day.

    The movie premiered on the same day as Disney-Pixar¡¯s ¡°Monsters University.¡±  But the press coming to World War Z far outweighs Monsters University.  After all, no matter how popular the voice actors chosen by cartoon stars are, they still have no face.  Naturally, it is not as topical as Lee Dong-rae + Brad Pitt.

    But don¡¯t think that these media are here just to cheer you up.  If the movie is not good.  We can guarantee that the next day Phantom and Plan B, Li Donglai and Brad Pitt will be scolded bloody.

    The premiere started, and the theater quickly became quiet.

    at the same time.  The film also premiered in South Korea on the same day.  Yoona specially roped in her harem group Jessica and Kwon Yuri.  I also took a young maknae with me and sneaked into the cinema to watch a movie together.

    ¡°At the Hollywood premiere, I was worried about being robbed of the movie¡¯s limelight.  Therefore, Angelina Jolie and Emma Watson, who wanted to help out on the red carpet, also declined the offer. They believed that the movie would not disappoint the audience.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? With ¡°zombie¡±-themed movies that everyone has already seen and no longer want to watch, it is nothing more than the beginning of inexplicable infections, the government epidemic prevention departments are helpless, and a large-scale infection breaks out.

    Red syrup and severed limbs and internal organs were splashed everywhere.  A large number of extras came on stage with white foundation, dark circles under their eyes, and some blood stains. Their limbs drooped, they walked and staggered, and they made inexplicable noises from their mouths.  Then most of the protagonists squeeze into small spaces (such as supermarkets) in groups in order to escape.

    And "Armageddon" was able to attract huge amounts of money, becoming the first in the zombie-themed opening list, the second in the disaster-themed opening list (after "The Day After Tomorrow"), and the third in the post-apocalyptic theme (after "The Hunger Games").  and "I Am Legend"), thanks to the fact that Phantom broke the old shackles of the Hollywood Seven, the appeal of Phantom Lee Dong-rae, the personal appeal of Brad Pitt, and the epic momentum of the film "War of the Worlds"!

    Let¡¯s talk about Comrade Pete first. Although Uncle Pete has been aging at a speed visible to the naked eye in recent years, his calm acting style and his magnanimity are increasing day by day. The Hollywood bad boys of the past now all exude the brilliance of a good father and a good husband.  .

    From 2008's "The Rejuvenation" to 2009's "Inglourious Basterds", from 2011's "The Tree of Life" and "Moneyball" to 2012's "Tender Killing", Pitt's selling point is no longer his handsome face and  A muscular figure, but a character acting that gradually turns into a middle-aged charm. It can be said to be the teaching version of "from an idol to a powerful person". His presence itself is the biggest bargaining chip in "The Last War".

    Let¡¯s talk about another point. No matter how the ¡°zombie¡± theme film is set, the investment cost has always stayed at the ¡°small-scale¡± level.  This also determines the "little family spirit" of the film!

    Looking at the zombie movies in recent years, the "Resident Evil" series, "Zombieland" and even "Warm Bodies" produced by Phantom Projects are just "little things", even if "Resident Evil" often travels around the world to shoot scenes in an attempt to create a "  "Epic" atmosphere, but the inferior makeup and "elegant" Ergou Shu are still betrayed ruthlessly.?The cheap nature of this series.

    In contrast, "Doomsday War", which is joined by Phantom, a new company that is willing to spend money and has great courage, and has a huge investment of 190 million US dollars, is naturally different. It has been positioned as a "world war" from the beginning of the project.  "!

    The description of the grand "battle" scene is even more shocking, and the box office will naturally increase!

    After the movie was released, the impact was as expected.

    The crazy influx of zombies like a tide has engulfed the entire city, and even the flying helicopters cannot escape their clutches.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????:??????????????? exaggerates the doomsday crisis, with zombies everywhere and gunpowder smoke everywhere, making people feel even more desolate.  Brad Pitt plays a United Nations worker struggling to survive in the apocalypse.  At the same time, the story also involves politics and human nature.

    Over the three days of the weekend, the box office revenue was US$86.41 million in 3,607 theaters, and the single-theater performance was also as high as approximately US$21,000, far exceeding industry expectations.  This opening result also helped Phantom to win the box office championship, giving Phantom its third box office title of the year, and also set the best box office record for the zombie genre.

    But having said that, the cost investment of US$190 million has also become a heavy burden for the film. Although the box office was high in the first week, such apocalyptic themes do not have strong long-term marketing capabilities ("I Am Legend" is an exception).

    It is difficult to recover the cost of the film. If Phantom wants to make money, it must devote itself to the global market.  (To be continued)
