Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The scandal between Lee Chung Hee and Jessica Alba was aroused by the magazine "Vanity Fair". Although both people denied it, the public did not believe it. The paparazzi were even more excited, chasing the entertainment moments of the two of them.  Two or three times more.  This made Lee Chung-hee and Jessica Alba a little annoyed, but there is no doubt that this unintentional move has increased the attention of "The Da Vinci Code" and "Spider-Man".  And this attention will undoubtedly increase the box office revenue of these two movies. First of all, on November 30, after the grand premiere of "The Da Vinci Code", this Christmas's box office war took the lead in breaking out.  When the box office for the three-day weekend from November 30 to December 2 came out, many people were a little surprised, and then envious, because the three-day box office was a total of 118.6 million US dollars.  So many, it undoubtedly won the top spot at the weekend box office.  You know, the box office of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" in its first weekend was just over 90 million US dollars.  And now, the first "Harry Potter" movie only had a box office of 23.64 million US dollars in its third week.  As for why I was only slightly surprised, there is no doubt that it is because the novel of "The Da Vinci Code" is so good, and the movie is also very good. In addition, Tom Hanks is in charge, and there are two famous celebrities, Madonna and Lee Jung-hee, cheering.  It's hard to miss the box office, but I didn't expect it to be so good.  Faced with such a result, Li Zhengxi and Madonna, as bosses, were naturally overjoyed and worked even harder.  Their timing was also good.  "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" is already in its third week of release.  And Spider-Man is still a week away.  In addition, the killer cartoon "Monsters, Inc." is in its fifth week. As for the other "Behind Enemy Lines" and "Spy Game", they can only be used as cannon fodder for "The Da Vinci Code".  Think about it, "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" only took in 23.64 million U.S. dollars, but it ranked second on the weekend box office list, while "Behind Enemy Lines" only took in 18.65 million U.S. dollars in its first week and ranked third.  You can see how inferior other movies are.  Therefore, in the week from December 3rd to 9th, the box office of "The Da Vinci Code" continues to explode.  The box office reached US$136 million, which brought the US box office of "The Da Vinci Code" to a surprising figure of US$254.6 million.  Of course, the box office continued to be a hit in the second week, not just because of the novel and publicity, but because of the quality of the movie.  Among them, the comprehensive score of major media in the United States is 81 points, among which "Entertainment Weekly" and "News" gave full scores, and 9 media including "The Christian Monitor", "Rolling Stone" magazine, "USA Today", and "Chicago Sun-Times"  All gave high scores above 80 points.  At the same time, the Rotten Tomatoes freshness score is as high as 88%, and the film critic on Yahoo is a.  Audience Rating A, and.  , these all support the excellent performance of the movie.  "The film captures the most dazzling selling point of the novel very well, and Tom Hanks also does an excellent job of showing off the hero of the novel. It is said that there is a reason why he lost more than ten pounds for this purpose"  "Hollywood Chronicle" "The novel has been restored to its original flavor. As a producer and author of the novel, Vincent has undoubtedly achieved what he promised before. Of course, as he said, the style of the movie is more  It is realistic and not as psychedelic as the novel" "Los Angeles Times" "The rhythm is very good. The choice of Tom Hanks is a masterstroke. Coupled with the best-selling novel, "The Da Vinci Code" is a movie.  The results are not surprising" "Boston Herald" When the media and box office were booming, "The Da Vinci Code" entered its third week of release, and at this time, it also began to be released in Canada,  It was released in more than 40 countries around the world, including Australia.  However, media across the United States have focused on the upcoming "Spider-Man", or in other words, everyone is looking forward to the collision between "Spider-Man" and "The Da Vinci Code", not only in terms of box office, but also in terms of reputation.  .  Because both are adapted from paper books, and with the huge sales of "The Da Vinci Code" and "Harry Potter", everyone is naturally more interested in "Spider-Man" which has been popular for almost half a century.  Looking forward to it eagerly.  "Vincent, do you think the box office of "Spider-Man" or "The Da Vinci Code" will be better?" At seven o'clock in the evening, at the entrance of the Chinese Theater in Hollywood, the grand premiere of "Spider-Man" is about to begin  At the beginning, when Lee Jung Hee and Jessica Alba got out of the car, many reporters gathered around them.  This first question is often asked recently, but reporters seem to be amused and always take the trouble to ask it.  "This is a secret!" Li Zhengxi replied mischievously, and in front of Jessica's wifeAlba chuckled and continued to move forward, but Alyssa, a reporter from the Los Angeles Times, glanced at them both with a smile and said, "Really, just like your relationship with Jessica Alba, both are  Is it a secret? " This was a trap. The reporters also started to boo, but Li Zhengxi did not fall for it. He also said slyly: "This is the second question. I have one last question. Guys, have you thought about it? No.  If so, I¡¯ll go in!¡± ¡°I heard that Madonna¡¯s newcomer Katy Perry is about to release a new single, and you wrote the lyrics, composed the music, and arranged it,¡± a reporter from the California Herald asked: ¡°What¡¯s your relationship with her?  Or is it because of the special relationship between you and Madonna?¡± This guy emphasized the word special very strongly. Li Zhengxi knew that he would definitely write a related article, so he didn¡¯t bother to pay attention to him.  Jessica Alba secretly pinched him as if she was jealous.  It's indeed quite special, Li Zhengxi complained. On the other side, "San Francisco Chronicle" reporter Hudson was an old friend. He was still Chinese. He smiled and asked Li Zhengxi, "Someone was photographed divorcing Tom Cruise soon."  The intimate photos of Nicole Kidman and you taken half a year ago, they said that you were dating, and that you were the cause of their divorce "Is it because I can't have contact with any women?" Lee Jung Hee laughed.  : "Then you should make a list. There may be hundreds or even tens of thousands of people. Go get busy. There is no need to interview me!" After finishing speaking.  After Jessica Alba also finished the interview, she walked directly in. It wasn't that they were uncooperative, but that there was a special media session at the premiere. Now, they answered four questions, which was enough.  Save face.  That¡¯s because it¡¯s still in the publicity stage. Otherwise, I wouldn¡¯t let you go if I just walked in.  I saw the popularity of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone".  Seeing that "The Da Vinci Code" has become even more popular, Columbia Pictures also spent a lot of money this time. It almost copied the promotion model of "The Da Vinci Code" and spent crazy money to promote it. The same is true for the current premiere.  in this way.  Of course, it has to be said that Sam Raimi did a great job, and Lee Chung-hee¡¯s performance added a lot to the movie.  Premieres are always like that, nothing too strange, just a press conference.  A small cocktail party, as well as a small meet-and-greet and games for comic fans.  Then, it¡¯s time to watch the first-run movie.  As a director, Sam Raimi has no editing rights. This is a rule of Hollywood. As a director, he has editing rights. Hollywood does not give more than one slap. However, he did see the final edited version, but Lee Chung Hee had no choice.  Therefore, like Jessica Alba, he is still looking forward to what the newly shot version will be like, or what the edited version will be like.  Therefore, when the lights went out and the screen began to flash, he calmed down.  It started with the title and voice-over, and then moved to the official scene. In a quiet town, a school bus was passing by. A young man suddenly ran out from one side, chasing the bus and shouting, "Wait a minute."  "Wait a minute, wait a minute!" There was laughter in the car, and the young man wore a pair of black-rimmed glasses, his hair was a little messy, and his clothes were gray. At first glance, he looked rustic and had nothing to do with real life.  , Lee Chung-hee¡¯s chic and suave style.  This made many viewers laugh. Then, Jessica Alba appeared in the camera and immediately made people's eyes brighten. She is undoubtedly an eye-catching beauty, which the audience likes.  Then, Li Zhengxi got into the car, and with one foot stretched out, he fell to the ground with a bang. Because it was a panoramic lens, the sound of the hit was very dull. Looking at his painful expression, everyone's teeth were a little sore.  Then, combined with all the contempt he had given people before, the audience became dissatisfied and indignant.  In this way, when the audience saw the spider bite him next, in addition to exclaiming, they were secretly happy, and they were also looking forward to his transformation.  Then, they were naturally the first to see Li Zhengxi's toned figure in the mirror, which already made many women scream. At the same time, Li Zhengxi took off his glasses and tidied his hair.  Although his clothes were still tacky, his whole spirit began to change. Slowly, after experiencing all kinds of pain and suffering, he finally transformed into Spider-Man.  The process of an ordinary person becoming Spider-Man is also the growth process of a superhero. Sam Raimi grasped this very well, instead of making the superhero invincible right from the start.  In other words, Sam Raimi¡¯s setting and story are very down-to-earth, which makes ordinary people feel the sense of substitution, and the excitement of transforming themselves from that ordinary person into Spider-Man.  In this way, the experience of watching movies will be very pleasantQuickly, what follows is the affirmation of the film. This, at the end of the film, the audience stood up and applauded. It can be seen that this film is good.  Therefore, the executives of Columbia Pictures were happy, Sam Raimi was also happy, Lee Jung-hee was not very happy, and Jessica Alba even pouted and whispered, "I found that my acting was so bad.  "Oh!" "That's because you have too high demands on yourself," Li Zhengxi comforted with a smile. To be honest, Jessica Alba's performance was not that good, but it was not much worse than the original Christer Dunst.  The important thing is that she looks stunning. This is enough for her to gain recognition.  Jessica Alba curled her lips. She was not stupid, but she didn¡¯t think that she would not be happy, so she asked him casually, "What do you think the box office of this movie will be like?" "Very good," Li Zhengxi replied with a smile, then  Bian Sam Remi heard him say, "Really, then I have to thank you very much." Li Zhengxi chuckled lightly, gave him and the equally cheerful Aiwell a middle finger, and said.  "If you want to thank me, show some sincerity. Don't just say it!" It's just a joke.  The box office of "Spider-Man" is really a big hit. After the first weekend box office was released on December 17, Columbia Pictures was overjoyed. The box office was US$114.84 million, which was only lower than that of "Spider-Man".  "The Fincher Code" lost about four million.  ¡°The Da Vinci Code¡± undoubtedly took the top spot at the weekend box office, while ¡°The Da Vinci Code¡± plunged almost 50% from its second week, with a box office of only $68.5 million.  But he also got the runner-up spot.  Of course, there are still more than 60 million in the third week. For Madonna and Lee Jung-hee, they couldn't be more satisfied. What's even more gratifying is that this week, the first week of overseas release of "The Da Vinci Code" also attracted a lot of attention.  It grossed $189 million at the box office.  Judging from this momentum, it seems that there is hope for one billion people in the world, one billion.  That is enough to squeeze into the top ten positions in the global box office list in movie history.  It¡¯s a pity that there is no sequel to ¡°The Da Vinci Code¡±.  And "Spider-Man" is there. With more than 100 million in revenue in the first weekend, any fool knows that a sequel must be made.  Columbia Pictures immediately contacted Lee Chung-hee's agent to discuss the contract for the second part. There was no other way. Lee Chung-hee was not only a popular actor, but also a big boss, and he was usually very busy.  Because this is the first film, we can¡¯t prepare first and then find actors as before. The male lead must be fixed. The schedule must be determined first and then preparations can be made. This is a common practice for sequels. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Fr  However, Columbia Pictures received not good news, because Lee Jung-hee¡¯s agent Han Mi-joo responded that the actor¡¯s salary is 20 million US dollars, and if he still needs to be the action director, he has to calculate the money.  ¡°He originally only got two million, and the action director only got 800,000. Now it has increased directly from two million to 20 million, which is a tenfold increase.  This is simply impossible to end. Laura, who has always been at odds with Lee Jung-hee, is jumping up and down, talking about changing roles, and people from Columbia Pictures also secretly revealed the relevant meaning to Han Meizhu.  "But Li Zhengxi is very tough, and he doesn't care whether he likes to change or not. He even said more firmly that not a dime should be lost.  He really doesn¡¯t care. It takes about four months to make a film. Now he is making tens of thousands of dollars every minute. It¡¯s only 20 million. He just made money by reading a book.  And Columbia Pictures obviously knows this. He is fundamentally different from other actors. He can't be coerced or lured. In this way, it will be Columbia Pictures' turn to have a headache. The problem is, Sam Raimi said, Lee Jung Hee portrayed  A classic character. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Even if there is a three-legged cat, the senior executives of Columbia Pictures have also watched the movie and understand the awesomeness of those actions. Of course, it is still the same problem. Now Lee Jung-hee's Spider-Man image has been recognized and recognized by almost the vast majority of comic fans.  Appreciation, this is what worries them the most.  Check out what they said, "I have to say sorry to Vincent, he's really great, even though he seems to be a newbie in acting, he totally showed me what it means to be a genius, and his performance was amazing.  Not to mention, his actions are the most perfect performance of Spider-Man in my mind" "I have to say, Vincent is Spider-Man, fuck all Asians, he is much better than those white idiots.  " "Don't you think Vincent is the real Spider-Man???He was very low-key at first, but suddenly one day, he shocked the whole world with his performance, making everyone immersed in his charm and sharing the joy and joy he brought to the world. Perhaps, it was just the way  It's just different, but he is still the superhero in my mind, the one who saves my soul  "Think about it, it was affirmed, and then Columbia Pictures suddenly changed the role. If the role was changed to a better one, then naturally there would be something to say. However, it is obvious that there is no way to show the excitement of the action.  So, Columbia Pictures was in pain, but that was their business, but Li Zhengxi was very happy at this time, or in other words, he really didn't take it to heart.  On the 18th, during the break of the "Spider-Man" promotion schedule, Lee Chung-hee appeared at the Los Angeles Music Center. Madonna's new singer is about to hold a press conference for her new single. It's a sunny day.  The temperature was over ten degrees, and the sun still felt warm on his body. Li Zhengxi got out of the car through the side door. There were no media reporters here. He sneaked in half an hour before leaving the venue.  In the midst of intense preparations, Madonna was giving Katy Perry some final instructions on how to answer reporters' questions. When she saw him, she casually said, "Why are you here?"  " Li Zhengxi chuckled lightly, "I'm not just sitting around at home with nothing to do." Although he and Madonna had that kind of relationship, now they are more like brother and sister, very close but not overstepping. Both of them feel good about each other, usually  He spoke very casually and said casually to Katy Perry, "Are you nervous?"  Let me tell you a method that I often use.  That is, as soon as I appear on the stage, I will be the center of the world, and they will be my subordinates. They all have to listen to me. Think about it, you are the biggest, so what are you afraid of? So you can face them easily.  Already¡­.  " "What nonsense are you talking about?  "Katy Perry rolled her eyes at him angrily. People are different. He is very proud, so he can, but she can't. She has just turned seventeen and has never seen anything. Madonna giggled.  , "So, every time you talk to me about business, you always look down on me!"  "It's contempt," Li Zhengxi chuckled and gave her a light kick. "Actually, it's normal. People who take the initiative occasionally become stronger and put more pressure on their opponents." He shrugged, "But you should  Understand, you made a lot of money last time!  Of course Madonna knew that, so she chuckled and patted his butt gently, winking mischievously at him, "Remember it, or I'll pay off the debt tonight!"  " Then he pointed at Katy Perry and said, "Why don't you bring her along too? Then you'll be satisfied!  " Katy Perry was so embarrassed when she heard that she started talking dirty words again, she spat: "Why are you so immoral?" Actually, Madonna doesn't usually act like this. Just being together with Lee Jung Hee, it's easy to believe her  At this time, Madonna ignored her and continued, "Why are you so unserious? Don't you always say you want to thank him? Why don't you thank him? He doesn't care about money, and you're not smart enough for him. Besides,  "Well, women, the best way to thank a man is to have a wild time with him." "Okay, stop joking," Li Zhengxi said to Madonna seriously: "Now the box office of "The Da Vinci Code" is very good, next  Regarding DVD copyright and peripheral development, since your company is involved, it should quickly come up with a plan  ¡± Dreamweeks is a small company, and its usual habit is to use money to invest, and its ability to do things seriously is very weak. This is why the company collapsed before this year, and Madonna was saddled with debt. On the contrary, Empire Pictures  , although it just started not long ago, under Li Wenxi's operation, it has developed in an orderly manner. In just over half a year, it is already no worse than ordinary medium-sized movies. Madonna also understood what Li Zhengxi meant and frowned. She took advantage last time.  You have made a fortune, but if you want to continue to take advantage, you have to show your ability. However, although the company has made money, nothing has changed internally. Except for Daniel, who is somewhat capable, everyone else is not very good. ¡°Honestly.  , are you interested in acquiring our company?" After a while, Madonna suddenly said this, which made Li Zhengxi stunned. "It would have been easy to say a year ago, but now, Dreamweeks has no value to Empire Pictures.  Therefore, Li Zhengxi shook his head with a smile and saw Madonna give a forced smile. He did not ask why, but said: "Since you have this idea, I think that after this project, you might as well quit, even quit now, and get the maximum  benefits!  ¡±  "Who will buy it?" Madonna pouted. It was only after she saw the development of Empire Pictures that she realized how clumsy her company was. Then, naturally, she wanted to climb up the big tree of Lee Chung-hee. Then  It was undoubtedly a good idea, but she also knew that it was basically a wishful thinking.  Of course, she was still very disappointed when she heard it directly, but maybe she shouldn't have said it in the first place.  "Then just end it," Li Zhengxi said decisively. Her mentality was obviously not suitable for her to continue. "After taking the money, you can invest in other things." Madonna still smiled bitterly. She was mixed up in this circle.  After so many years, she has understood these things and relied on the connections to get into this business. How can she know anything else?  Instead, he rolled his eyes and looked at Li Zhengxi, "I heard that you still have many industries, right, such as Facebook, which is very popular recently." Li Zhengxi smiled. He didn't want the film company, but Madonna had money, so he helped her.  Investing is not difficult, so he nodded, "I don't plan to let anyone else get involved in Facebook for the time being, but I can recommend other things to you, and I'm guaranteed to make money!" The last sentence is the most important, Madonna  She finally smiled. She would not doubt his ability to make money, let alone his ability to tell lies.  As they chatted, the time was coming soon. Katy Perry looked even more nervous, and she pulled Lee Jung Hee and said, "What do you think?" "Great!" Lee Jung Hee nodded affirmatively. She was wearing bright silver.  Her tube top skirt is shiny and flamboyant, which fits the style of the song, and she is also youthful and beautiful at the same time, which is what is needed behind the song. If she changes to a longer one that is not so beautiful, the effect will be  Much different.  "It's okay, we're all right next to you," Madonna encouraged again. She almost fell down when she appeared on the stage for the first time. At first, she regarded it as the biggest embarrassment in her life.  But later I realized that it was nothing, and she quickly conquered everyone with her songs.  "Remember, you have a charming face and an impressive figure, and now you have Vincent and I to support you" She just said this, and Katy Perry smiled, "You said so,  I will only be more stressed!" Thinking about it, Madonna laughed, and then gave her a hard slap on the buttocks, laughing, "Hurry up and go up honestly!"  The spotlight seemed to be free of charge. This was actually because Lee Jung Hee and Madonna came to support the event in person, but Katy Perry, who was standing in the middle, was undoubtedly shocked.  The body was stiff and the smile on his face was very forced. Li Zhengxi smiled slightly and hugged her waist naturally.  Strong arms symbolize strong backing and also give her strength. After Katy Perry was stunned for a moment, she felt inexplicably more relaxed. After Lee Jung Hee whispered in her ear, "Wave!"  As I followed the instructions, I felt the thoughtfulness and felt even more excited.  Then, the smile on her face was obviously bright and natural. Although she knew that Li Zhengxi's actions just now would definitely be on the front page tomorrow, but did she care? It seemed that they had already been on the front page.  On the contrary, I was a little excited, and the smile on my face became even bigger!  Next, the press conference began. Entertainment reporters were very cunning. Knowing that Lee Jung Hee was difficult to deal with, they directly asked Katy Perry, "Miss Katy Perry, how long have you been dating Vincent? It's because of you."  Did he just write this song specifically for you when you are dating?" (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
