October 14th to 16th is another three-day weekend. "The Expendables 2" closed in Japan, the last box office, with a total box office of 330 million US dollars, surpassing its predecessor and becoming a great success. In response, Summit Entertainment and Stallone immediately announced that preparations for "The Expendables 3" have begun. The new movie will invite Chinese martial arts superstars such as Cheng Long and Real Bullet to join the cast. In the North American battlefield, "Nighthawks: Reflection" once again achieved three consecutive championships with US$24.8 million. The total box office in North America was US$200 million, the overseas revenue was US$85 million, and the global total box office was US$285 million. It was a hot mess. It has become the most attractive movie in this off-season movie, with word-of-mouth and box office hits. "The original film "The Nighthawks" had an investment of US$150 million and a box office of US$98 million, which was widely criticized. The new work has an investment of US$20 million, and the box office has reached US$285 million, with praises abounding. In comparison, it¡¯s really a world of difference! From October 21st to 23rd, the much-anticipated "Paranormal Activity 3" was released and stole the title of "Nighthawk: Reflection". However, "Nighthawk: Reflection" still received US$12 million this week. , ranking second on the box office list. Overseas, it once again received US$75 million, with a total global box office of US$375 million. From October 28th to 30th, "The Conjuring" was released earlier and made a perfect success with a global box office of US$316 million. Next week, Summit Entertainment¡¯s last major film of the year, ¡°The Hunger Games: Catching Fire,¡± will be released simultaneously around the world. The highly praised "Nighthawks: Reflection" received a box office of US$6.1 million in North America, bringing the total global box office to US$410 million. It is heading towards a global height of 450 million U.S. dollars, making a strong impact. On November 4, 2011, "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire" was released on a large scale in 4,560 theaters in North America, and was also released simultaneously around the world on the same day. The first "Hunger Games" earned 410 million US dollars in North America and 640 million US dollars globally. We can expect that this sequel will ignite this year's box office boom. This year¡¯s highest local box office record in North America is US$381 million set by ¡°Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Part 2)¡±, and ¡°The Hunger Games: Catching Fire¡± set a record of seven. Three days after the war, the weekend box office results were released. "Nighthawks: Reflection" has been released globally since this week, with a total box office of US$270 million in North America and US$462 million globally. It ended with such a perfect record. Counting the first "Night Watcher", the two movies combined invested US$170 million and earned US$560 million. They still made a lot of money and erased Shao Shuaijun's only failure record. "Shao Shuaijun's success is unparalleled. The only disadvantage he has compared to Nolan is that he has never had a movie with a box office exceeding 1 billion US dollars. In terms of the variety and quantity of movies, Nolan can't keep up with Shao. Shao, is The fastest-grossing director in Hollywood!" - Time Magazine. "A good director can turn corruption into magic, and Shao Shuaijun is undoubtedly one of them." - "The Wall Street Reporter". "In Shao's seven-year director career, 13 films have created a total global box office of US$4.08 billion. This data puts him in the history of film. He is second only to Steven Spielberg 25 The movie has a global box office of 8.1 billion US dollars, James Cameron's 7 movies have a global box office of 5.17 billion US dollars, and Michael Bay's 9 movies have a global box office of 4.58 billion US dollars. He is currently the fourth largest director in the world." - Box-Office, the authoritative box office website. -Mojo. "A single film has exceeded US$300 million, including six Chinese-language films. If only the seven films shot in Hollywood are counted, the single film has exceeded US$470 million. With such high figures, Shao Shuaijun is enough to be proud of the top of the martial arts world. What's more, the superhero movie "Avengers", Shao Shuaijun's largest investment, has also been completed and will be released next year. According to the predictions of authorities, the Women's Federation also takes a conservative estimate of US$1 billion. Once this data comes out, Michael Bay will definitely be surpassed, and Cameron will most likely be surpassed as well. Of course, Cameron is a director full of personality. He has made 7 movies in a few decades. The total box office is not enough to prove that Shao Shuaijun has really surpassed the king of the world. Because Cameron's single-film box office has exceeded 700 million U.S. dollars. When the sequel of the Avatar series is released, I don't know how high it will soar. But no matter what, the global film industry has begun to worship Shao Shuaijun. In the studio of "Life of Pi", Shao Shuaijun accepted interviews from several visiting reporters including Time.com. Reporter asked: "Director Shao, with "Night Watcher: Reflection", you have successfully been promoted to the 4 billion director. This is the most successful example of a Chinese director in the world. Regarding your success, what do you think are the necessary factors for success? A director?" Shao Shuaijun replied with a smile: "I don't know how to define it, but let me tell you what I gained from "Night Watcher" to "Night Watcher: Reflection". I thought "The Nighthawks" was a great idea, but it was terrible when it was made, and then it was remade and it became a success again.?It seems that if you cope with the movie, the movie will also cope with you. Once you find the trick of the movie, the movie will work for you. When making a movie, you must be good at making movies. To look at a movie from an overall perspective, you can pursue finesse in the details, but the entire framework cannot be separated. " The reporter didn't understand. Shao Shuaijun gave another example: "The frame can be lifted only by one line. What is this line? It can be emotional, it can be the main idea, it can be what you want to say, but you can't leave this line behind and talk about something else. "In "The Night Watcher", one of my lines was the conflict between procedural justice and moral justice, but I deliberately pursued the coolness of superheroes and scattered this line, so the movie failed to pick up. "Nighthawks: Reflection" still has the same line. I weakened the superhero, but the line was not broken, so the movie picked up. For another example, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" directed by Li Eucalyptus ushered in the era of blockbusters in China, but only one "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was successful. Why? Because it is obvious to Li Yu that the thread he wants to talk about is neither a blockbuster nor a martial arts movie, so when you watch the movie, the secrets of Wei Ya are revealed, but the thread he wants to say firmly ties the movie together. ??????????? Other blockbusters have beautiful pictures and beautiful martial arts, but you forgot this line, so you can¡¯t pick it up. Why can't many directors get out of this small circle? Just because he didn't hold on to the thread, it fell apart after shaking. Why can Hollywood blockbusters capture markets with different cultural styles? Because they hold on to this line, no matter what packaging is changed, personal heroism remains unchanged, everyone has a heroic dream, so Hollywood has swept the world. If you know how to be a hero, will success be far away? In "Nighthawk: Reflection," I portrayed a different kind of hero. ¡± ¡°Director Shao has made many successful movies before, has he always followed this line? "A reporter asked. "It can be said that they all have their own lines, open or hidden. " "The success of "The Nighthawks: Reflection", does Director Shao have anything to say? He is still numb. You have had too many successful and blockbuster movies. " Shao Shuaijun smiled brightly: "I am very happy this time. I think this is the most successful movie I have made in the 7 years I have been directing movies. This is not as simple as making up for regrets once. When you achieve great success, a setback may affect you for many years. There is an old saying that goes, "Once bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of the well rope for ten years." This is also the case for me. I have been grieving over the failure of "The Night Watcher" for four years. If I don't pick up this regret, I doubt that one day I will Continue to fail, and then fail. So now I am very happy, the happiest moment in seven years. " "After "Nighthawks: Reflection" and "Avengers", do you have any new movie plans? " "Not yet. I am currently working on "Life of Pi" with Li Yu and systematically learning 3D technology. It is very fulfilling, so I have no plans to direct it yet. " "Dream Entertainment Group was reorganized into Dream International Holding Group. How did your role change in this process? " Shao Shuaijun thought for a while and said: "I used to arrange some movies that I valued for the company, but from now on I will no longer interfere with the company's operations. From now on, I will just be a simple director. If the company asks me to make a movie, I will accept the movie and then calculate how much money it will give me. That's it. " "How do you feel being away from the company's operations? " "It's very good. I like this kind of life very much. I don't need to worry about more things. I can have more time to arrange my own private life. It's very good. " "Night Watcher: Reflection" was a great success. Shao Shuaijun finally proved that he is a qualified director. Therefore, when reporters came to interview today, Shao Shuaijun was very cooperative and answered all the questions he could. The reporters also felt that Today, Shao Shuaijun was very talkative. The questions came one after another. From noon to afternoon, the interview lasted for three hours before he left with a full load. Shao Shuaijun let out a long breath from his throat that was about to burst into flames and pulled Li Yu. The others went to have a drink to celebrate the box office success. Shao Shuaijun¡¯s life was free and comfortable. Summit Entertainment once again shocked Hollywood with ¡°The Hunger Games: Catching Fire¡±, which lived up to the expectations of everyone on the first weekend of November. It ranked first at the North American box office with an overwhelming $70.5 million on its opening day, creating the highest first-day opening in the history of the North American film market in November, and also surpassing the first-day opening of the previous film "The Hunger Games" of 67.3 million. The film's weekend performance was 161 million U.S. dollars, becoming the highest opening weekend record in November film history. This result also broke the opening weekend performance of many movies, and was only lower than "Harry Potter and Death". The $168.55 million of "Holy Instruments (Part 2)"?The weekend results ranked second in North American film history. It is also the first 2D movie to open at the box office in North American film history. It has a freshness score of 89 on Rotten Tomatoes, a theater score of A, and an IMDB score of 8.4. It is a super hit and has a crazy reputation. This basically announced that the "Hunger Games" series was officially crowned as another super-grossing series with good reputation. The success of the Hunger Games series has given everyone another reason to worship Shao Shuaijun, who has an outstanding vision and a sharp eye for pearls! (To be continued.
