    Of course, when any movie is released, there will always be critics.  Li Mingbao, a low-key film producer who has not become a director, was also dug up by the newspaper.  For a Hong Konger like Lee Ming-pao to produce a movie that is completely in line with the American mainstream, there are definitely not a small number of people who are crooked.  And after the first week¡¯s box office of the movie ¡°Home Alone¡± came out, within a day or two, even the crooked newspapers completely lost their ability to speak.  Because this first week's box office was really scary.  With a total box office of more than 50 million US dollars in the first week, it appeared in front of everyone as a dark horse.  This kind of first-week box office directly surpassed "Raiders of the Lost Ark", which everyone thought was the box office champion in 1981.  This was not only beyond the expectations of film critics, but even 20th Century Fox felt that this data was too science fiction.  They were indeed optimistic about this movie, but the box office performance of this movie, even though everyone was already optimistic about it, was beyond everyone's expectations.  In their mind, even if this movie could close to "Raiders of the Lost Ark" at the box office, they could hold a celebration party. But now it seems that their previous goals seem to be a bit low.  Because the first-week box office of the movie "Raiders of the Lost Ark" didn't reach that much. If the difference was just a little bit different, everyone would still be able to accept it. But the problem is that the first-week box office of that movie was only less than 40 million US dollars.  You know, $40 million is no longer a small amount.  Otherwise, there wouldn't be such high calls that this movie would be the box office champion in 2081.  The box office of "Raiders of the Lost Ark" did not exceed everyone's expectations. The North American box office reached more than 245 million, and the global total box office reached 383.9 million.  .  In this way, the box office of "Raiders of the Lost Ark" in its first week was not as high as that of "Home Alone".  By this time, anyone who is not a fool will understand that if there are no problems in the future, it will not be difficult for the total box office of "Home Alone" to exceed that of "Raiders of the Lost Ark".  Looking at the first-week box office difference of more than 10 million, the total box office of "Home Alone" is definitely not only 400 million US dollars, but may even reach 500 million US dollars.  At this time, the one who felt the most emotional was actually Justin.  When he first estimated that the total box office of this movie would be 300 million U.S. dollars, it was already very good. As for the 400 million U.S. dollars that Li Mingbao mentioned, he had never thought about it at all.  No matter how optimistic he is about "Home Alone", he doesn't think that the box office of this movie will surpass "Raiders of the Lost Ark" because that movie is so shocking.  But now, Justin discovered that Li Mingbao¡¯s previous overestimation was still an underestimate for this movie.  Because the box office in the first week is more than 10 million higher than that of "Raiders of the Lost Ark". As long as this data is correct, then everyone will wait and count the money.  First-week box office data is very important in the North American market. It has the most intuitive influence on judging the quality of a movie.  Therefore, before the outside world got the news, Li Mingbao got the answer from 20th Century Fox.  Jiang Zhiqiang was also next to Li Mingbao at the time. When Justin on the other end of the phone said that the box office of "Home Alone" in its first week was 50 million, Jiang Zhiqiang was stunned.  Fifty million, this is US$50 million, which is 400 million in Hong Kong dollars. This is the box office of "Home Alone" in its first week.  It¡¯s unbelievable how much money there is.  But there were many reports on such things in the newspapers the next day. Even if Jiang Zhiqiang didn't want to believe it, he had to believe it.  "Ah Bao, we may have an annual box office championship!" "Is this surprising? After the first week's box office surpassed "Raiders of the Lost Ark", such a result is not surprising. I am now  Think about it, will the total box office of this movie be 400 million? Or 500 million? According to our sharing method, I should make a lot of money," Li Mingbao said with a calm face, but his heart was burning.  Hearing what Li Mingbao said, Jiang Zhiqiang almost fainted. Li Mingbao said it so plainly. He should be making a lot of money. This is already making a lot of money, okay?  If the total box office revenue of this movie alone is more than 500 million, then the theater chain can share almost 150 million US dollars, and the remaining 350 million US dollars, according to Li Mingbao's 46% ratio, Li Mingbao can  After receiving US$140 million, Jiang Zhiqiang began to feel dizzy when he thought of this figure.  The thoughts of Li Mingbao and others cannot affect the outside world's judgment of "Home Alone". Even the Los Angeles Times has a dedicated film critic writing an article to evaluate "Home Alone".  "This is a very heartwarming movie. Although the child is a bit naughty, I have to say that the director's portrayal of this child is quite impressive."It is so brilliant that everyone can easily find resonance with this child, because children in many families, including the boy in my family, are very naughty.  I hope this little guy won't continue to be naughty, otherwise the two thieves will be completely ruined by him.  " "The unlucky thieves stole from the naughty children, so they were unlucky.  But the movie also tells us a truth: never abandon your children, otherwise they will easily be in danger. Not every child is as brilliant as in the movie.  "The New York Times. "I can't believe it at all that this movie will be produced by a Hong Kong person, and this producer is also an investor in this movie.  Oh my god, if there is no mistake in my information, this guy is only nineteen years old, which means this guy has just reached adulthood.  Does Hong Kong produce geniuses?  "Explosive news published in a certain gossip magazine. I regret it, I really regret it. I didn't expect that this movie would be so successful. If I had known earlier, I would have received director's dividends instead of just salary. That  Damn little bastard, I lost a lot of money. He will regret it when his next movie starts filming - Ivan Reitman When this unlucky guy was reported in the newspaper because he was the director of "Home Alone".  Since then, Ivan has become one of the most unlucky film directors in 1981, because he gave up his box office dividends just for a remuneration of 300,000 US dollars. It was like a joke. Although Ivan regretted it.  But he didn't blame Li Mingbao. The choice was entirely in his hands, but he didn't really believe in Li Mingbao's distribution ability, so he took the remuneration directly, and there was no profit share for the movie.  It doesn't have much to do with it. The one who really played a decisive role was Li Mingbao, so even though he regretted it, the incident brought him greater benefits. In addition, this movie is so popular, there will definitely be opportunities for cooperation in the future, so he  The newspapers only complained a few words, but did not completely stalemate the relationship between the two parties. When the box office of "Home Alone" was rising steadily in North America, the behind-the-scenes situation of this movie was also constantly revealed by the newspapers.  It is too easy for American reporters who are very knowledgeable to dig up some insider information. The reason why it was not so lively in the past was simply because Li Mingbao was not famous in North America. But now "Home Alone" is not famous.  " continues to be popular, and it is no longer a problem to have a box office of over 100 million. There is not much suspense about even surpassing the original North American box office champion "Raiders of the Lost Ark" in 1981. A movie like this naturally has more topics to talk about.  You know, the person who shot the movie "Raiders of the Lost Ark" was directed by Spielberg, and the screenwriter was Lucas, and the cooperative company was Paramount. Whether it was Spielberg or George Lucas.  The two of them are definitely not unknown people in Hollywood. The movies that Spielberg can produce now include "Jaws", and the films that George Lucas can produce include "Star Wars", and these are just their masterpieces.  Just, they have also filmed many more films. The cooperation between these two people is already in the ranks of legends, and now Li Mingbao, a three-no product, actually made these two Hollywood movies with a small budget.  The famous directors have all been defeated. It can really satisfy the curiosity of all Americans. Li Mingbao's experience in North America does not have much to explore, but in Hong Kong, the reporters in the United States have gained a lot.  Not small. But after all the information was exposed to everyone, no matter whether they were those who criticized Li Mingbao or those who sang Li Mingbao's songs, they all felt incredible about Li Mingbao's experience. Seeing the movie "Home Alone",  Becoming the new box office champion is just around the corner, but Li Mingbao, the film's producer, has exceeded everyone's expectations.  This movie that is now popular in Hollywood is only the third movie produced by this guy Li Mingbao, and among these three movies, "Home Alone" with the same theme and even the content is almost the same. Li Mingbao shot it twice.  The versions are just different.  If we really count, Li Mingbao only has two works.  But a guy who has only made two movies actually has great hope of becoming the North American box office champion with just one of them. How can it be embarrassing for those who have spent their entire lives making movies in Hollywood?  The most intolerable thing for the North American public is that this producer, who is now completely popular in Hollywood, has only been in the industry for less than three years.  Before, he knew nothing about the movie industry. Before that, he was more interested in fighting than in movies.  But just such a person can not only shoot blockbuster movies, but also publish articles in Hong Kong newspapers.?It can even be published.  In just three years, he has completed a gorgeous transformation, which makes people feel that God is taking care of him.  Americans will spare no effort to praise geniuses, even if the genius is not an American but a Hong Konger.  But if he can become famous in North America and make such a popular movie, he can be remembered by many Americans.  And such a thing is definitely a surprise for Li Mingbao.  The whole world knows that Americans are xenophobic.  But now, because of a movie, xenophobic Americans have accepted Li Mingbao, which will be of immeasurable benefit to Li Mingbao's future plans.
