With North America recording an extraordinary performance of nearly half a billion US dollars in two weeks, the overseas box office is not inferior at all. This extremely perfect work that combines popcorn with science fiction, thriller, and suspense has also been highly sought after in overseas markets. The United Kingdom, France, Germany, South Korea, Japan, China, Hong Kong Island and other places have recorded first-weekend box office records in history, and then continued to skyrocket due to good reputation. After the end of the second week, the box office revenue was US$469 million, which also created history for the overseas box office in the first two weeks. With a box office of close to one billion US dollars in just two weeks, the media and film critics began to speculate whether "Inception" might surpass "Titanic"'s original box office performance of more than 1.8 billion US dollars and become the No. 1 movie in history. one. In New York, at the recording site of Oprah's talk show, Oprah was also asking Lee Chung-hee such a question, "Leonardo DiCaprio said that if you break the box office record, he will be a little angry, or jealous." , but he will be happier for you, what do you think?" "It seems to be more than 1.8 billion," Li Zhengxi shrugged, "I think it should be more than 2 billion, and, from an economic point of view, we We should estimate inflation and the like, then "Titanic" is still an unattainable number!" "That can't be said," Oprah laughed: "Maybe you are too harsh. Times are changing, and so are everyone's lives. When "Ben-Hur" was released, almost all Americans bought tickets to watch it. If you follow inflation, it wouldn't be more. And "Gone with the Wind" "Something like that!" Li Zhengxi smiled and spread his hands. "Of course I know that. I mean, this is nothing to be proud of!" After a pause, "It would be a lie to say that I don't care about the box office at all. Because it is not only my personal matter, it is also related to the company and the company. Employees, everyone¡¯s hard work, but my greatest joy in making a movie is the quality of the movie and getting everyone to like it. Share this with everyone!¡± Oprah smiled and shrugged. Then he looked at Won Bin and Ha Ji Won, "I'm sorry, I gave you a little cold shoulder at first. Well, we know Won Bin. This is our first time meeting Ms. Ha Ji Won. Can you tell us about this filming of "Inception"? "How do you feel about "Space"?" "Well, this is my first time working with a Hollywood production team," Ha Ji-won glanced at Lee Jung-hee with a sweet smile on her face, "But Jung-hee and I are good friends. , we have known each other for a long time and have cooperated with each other, so this time it is still smooth!" "Speaking of good friends, you and Yuan Bin are both good friends of Dr. Li." Oprah smiled slyly, "You and I are both good friends. There have been scandals about Dr. Li, it seems, more than once or twice, and you are even quite close. Do you really think that men and women can be friends? " "It's hard to say!" Ha Ji-won answered deliberately. After saying a few words, he chuckled and said, "I often hear them say that. My relationship with him is more than friends, not a romantic relationship. It's a bit like brother and sister. Anyway, it's a pretty special relationship. And we also enjoy it very much." "State!" "Will it suddenly get out of control one day?" Oprah said suddenly. Won Bin couldn't help laughing, and Oprah looked at him in astonishment, "You seem to know something?" "No, no!" Although Won Bin is shy and doesn't talk much, he is very smart and has an idea. Then he said: "What I find interesting is that the two of them are so familiar. You know, they are so familiar that they even know each other's very private things. I am very curious, if they are like you said , what will happen if he suddenly loses control, that will definitely be interesting!" "That's right!" Oprah didn't let him go, "What about you, you are good friends with Dr. Li, and you should be very good friends with Ha Ji-won! "We are very familiar. We are very good friends." Yuan Bin was also alert, with a smile on his face. "We meet often, but we are just simple friends. We can help each other, support each other, and even Appreciation, but there¡¯s no such thing as love!¡± After a pause, before Oprah could say anything, she said, ¡°Well, how should I say, it¡¯s like family, well, it¡¯s family!¡± Oprah said! I had no choice but to take the opportunity to ask him, ""Harvard Love Story" is your Hollywood debut. In "Inception", you gave us a completely different impression, and it is a stunning impression. Will you come to Hollywood next?" "There are quite a few!" Yuan Bin smiled, and then looked at Li Zhengxi, "He gave me some scripts, they are all good, I am still considering them, uh, actually I prefer the simpler ones in Korea. Life here is more lively!¡± ¡°What do you mean?¡± Oprah asked. "It's just that there are so many entertainment stories here!" Yuan Bin smiled shyly, "IThere are always a lot of people following me around, I¡¯m not used to it! " "And you? After Oprah smiled, she turned to ask Ha Ji-won. "No?" "Ha Jiyuan simply shook her head. "Why? Oprah asked curiously: "Now you are the most popular for the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress, and your Oscar nomination is basically stable. Moreover, your acting skills are also superb the same as Won Bin." Reason! "No," Ha Ji-won smiled, "The main reason is that my current career center is not entirely in acting. You should know that I am one of the bosses of L&L Fashion, and there are other things!" " "Oh, that's it! "Oprah laughed and said, she didn't know that Ha Ji-won mainly wanted to take care of her children at home. Of course, her main hobby of acting in movies has now become a hobby. She is now starting to learn to enjoy life like Lee Jung-hee. . That was something she didn¡¯t understand well before. In other words, because of the pressure of life in the past, she couldn¡¯t think about it at all. She could only study and work hard, but in the end, it was for a better life. The love in "Space" is different from your past." Oprah turned to ask Lee Jung Hee, "Is this related to your engagement? However, the "Chicago Sun" said that your love story is not very optimistic! "The Chicago Sun-Times" wrote: Dr. Lee had just gotten engaged, but the film he shot was about the death of his wife. This kind of stunt is naturally a bad joke. If Oprah hadn't proposed it as a joke, others would have He didn¡¯t bother to answer, but he didn¡¯t say anything. He just said, ¡°It¡¯s really a waste of time to talk about love to those guys who don¡¯t understand love, or who can¡¯t understand it! " Oprah also knew that what she just said was wrong. It was just a recording and could be cut. So she asked Yuan Bin and the others, "What are your views on love? " "It depends on fate! " Yuan Bin said lightly, and Ha Ji Won also added by the way: "Me too, I think fate is more important! " "There seems to be something wrong with you two! "Oprah said with a smile. "However, as soon as she said this, Ha Ji-won and Won Bin laughed, and Lee Jung-hee looked at Oprah, who was always sharp-tongued, speechlessly. This is the United States, this is Oprah. The off-the-cuff style, of course, and the editing team to help her. ¡°Last question,¡± Oprah asked almost three hours later: ¡°What does the ending look like? " Li Zhengxi was happy and shrugged, "That's it, isn't it in the camera? As for the rest, that's a secret. One day, I will tell everyone! "After the Oprah talk show, the North American schedule ended, and the global schedule has just begun. However, when "Inception" entered its third week, Lee Chung-hee returned to South Korea. At this time, his schedule was the most important Instead, it is not to promote "Inception" and the album "Minecraft", but for PBS's year-end entertainment awards on the 26th, the Music Awards on the 28th and the Acting Awards on the 31st. This is PBS. The first award ceremony since the launch was also to pave the way and gain experience for the upcoming film and music award ceremonies. At the end of the year, Lee Chung Hee was really busy. He did not accept many invitations to award ceremonies, but some interviews were not allowed. Do not accept, for example, those from China and Japan, which are all major TV stations. It is related to his image and popularity in those countries. Image and popularity are continuous and need to be maintained. No matter how popular a person is, once he loses publicity, he will not accept it. It was easy to fall silent. Therefore, although he returned to South Korea, he only stayed in South Korea on the 26th, 27th, 28th, and 31st. On other days, he took the opportunity to fly to Japan and stayed there for two days. In addition to interviews in Korea, I will not be able to meet the Chinese audience until next year's trip to China. At 5 pm on the 26th, today is the world of comedians. However, because PBS is a subsidiary of Empire Entertainment, and Empire Entertainment The boss is called Li Zhengxi, so today¡¯s celebration also has many big names in music and film and television circles coming to support it. At this point, it is still super early, but the media and fans here have already arrived early, and those artists who are not important are already here. They came early. Li Zhengxi also came early. He had no choice but to make the award ceremony a success. Although he said that he had his subordinates to take care of everything, it was his first time and he was a little worried. Naturally, PBS was close to the stage and took the lead to catch him for an interview: "President, there are so many rumors outside, saying that we have too many variety shows and not enough awards. Will there be double-yolked eggs or something like that? " "I don't know this! ¡± Li Zhengxi smiled?Laughing, "The broadcast agency's affairs are decided by the broadcast agency's personnel. Oh, by the way, this time there are also votes from 10,000 fans and a hundred professionals, right? They are the final result of this award ceremony. "Everyone is joking, what would you do if you won the award, or how would you feel?" "It's the same!" Li Zhengxi smiled, "I am just an ordinary person at the award ceremony. As an artist, we don¡¯t engage in secret operations, and I am very open-minded. I will be equally happy if I win an award, and I won¡¯t be disappointed if I don¡¯t win¡± (To be continued)?¡!
