Entertainment 2000: Supporting female stars will bring you a hundredfold return

Chapter 147 Is this box office reasonable? ! (Subscribe)

US$2341 million.

The box office revenue on the first day alone almost covered all the costs.

At the same time, it also set a new box office record for R-rated films.

The previous record was also set by him.

"Saw 1", US$2161 million.

And on IMDB, the rating is still as high as 7.6.

Hearing about the record breaking, Tang Wen couldn't help but laugh.

The previous version of "The Butterfly Effect" was released in 04 and was shown on more than 2500 screens on the first day.

The box office on the first day was over 1700 million.

But the good times did not last long, the box office declined rapidly, and the total box office was only over 5000 million.

This film I shot will definitely break this record.

"bang bang bang"

The door opens.

Scarlett ran into Tang Wen's arms: "We broke the record! We broke the record!"

Tang Wen silently endured her foul when she dribbled the ball.

Scarlett stood on tiptoe and offered her red lips.

The doors of the rooms next to them opened one after another, and several crew members came out. They all applauded in the corridor.

Tang Wen let go of Scarlett and faced everyone.

Whether the protagonist or the supporting actor, their faces were filled with excitement and joy.

The main actors are those who go on roadshows with the publicity.

The benefits they reaped were immediate!

There is a movie with high box office and explosive return rate as its representative work.

When supporting actors audition for a role in the future, they will have more advantages than ordinary actors.

As for the male lead, he can directly become a "third-tier actor".

Don’t underestimate the third-tier actors, as they basically have no shortage of roles to play.

Hollywood pay is high, so he can skip the middle class and become a moderately wealthy person in the next step.

As for how far he can go in the future, it depends on his vision in choosing scripts and his luck.

Scarlett's role is not as big as the male lead, and the male actor is more popular.

She gets less benefit.

However, she originally belonged to the third tier, and now she has not been promoted to a star, but she is in the upper-middle third tier.

Looking at the excited faces.

If it were in the country, Tang Wen would promise to give everyone red envelopes after the roadshow.

But now in Hollywood, he chose not to give a penny: "The achievements belong to everyone! Your career will surely reach a higher level!"

Everyone nodded.

Tang Wen: "You will definitely star in more movies in the future and become real stars!"

wow——

Everyone clapped excitedly, with light in their eyes.

It seems that we have seen a better life in the future.

It turns out that foreigners are easy to fool.

Just a few words gave them a boost, and the effect was quite good.

While having breakfast in the restaurant.

An assistant brought over a few newspapers, which, as expected, reported the box office performance of "The Butterfly Effect".

"R-rated film director Tang, once again breaks through the limit!"

"Director Tang Wen broke his own record with $2341 million on the first day"

……

Some tabloids have even begun to call Tang Wen the "King of R-rated Movies."

Scarlett read out the title in a light tone.

Tang Wen frowned when he heard this.

"dislike?"

"At first glance, it sounds like I specialize in making X-rated movies. If you don't know me, you might think I'm making pornographic films."

"Haha, how could that be? You've won the Golden Lion Award, you're an artist!"

Tang Wen briefly recalled:
From "The Night the Comet Strikes" and "Saw" to the current "The Butterfly Effect"

In North America, aren’t all the movies we make R-rated?
It’s not that he likes to shoot this type of film, but he didn’t have enough money before, and R-rated films can better make a big profit with a small investment.

Not only newspapers.

Major radio stations, television stations and online media rushed to report the new record for R-rated films.

Financial news, social news, etc. also reported this incident during prime time.

Tang Wen set records twice in a row, which is very newsworthy.

This wave of spontaneous media publicity has a wide coverage and is more effective than a massive publicity campaign costing millions of dollars.

Benefiting from this wave of publicity, the box office rose strongly the next day, closing at 2539 million US dollars.

Total box office: 4880 million US dollars!
It crushed "Insomnia" which was released at the same time.

This film is directed by Christopher Nolan.

Academy Award winner, starring Al Pacino.

If you don't compare it with Tang Wen, the box office of several million US dollars every day is actually not bad.

Hollywood attracts attention from all over the world.

Hong Kong media were the first to reprint the news.

"Director Tang is young and powerful, and he made 400 million in two days"

"Director Tang flaps his wings, and the heroine shakes Hollywood"

Scarlett was not famous in the East at this time.

People are more concerned about box office figures.

Four hundred million!

This is a number that Hong Kong directors envy in their dreams.

The Infernal Affairs crew is in post-production. Mai Zhaohui read the news and couldn't help but sigh: "When will I be as powerful as Director Tang?"

Liu Weiqiang patted his shoulder fiercely: "Young man, you are so bold! I would be so happy if I could be half as good as Director Tang."

Huo Wenxi felt that Tang Wen was consistent in his words and deeds.

Filming is as intense as working out at night.

The twins who debuted not long ago and have never seen the world are shouting:
"I wonder how much Director Tang can earn!"

"Sister Mani, can you make hundreds of millions?"

Huo Wenxi put away the newspaper and said, "Sprinkle some water!"

The two girls immediately exclaimed: "So amazing."

Huo Wenxi glanced at the two of them and said, "If you are willing, I can let you see his more powerful side."

Andy Lau, Zhang Xueyou, Liang Jiahui... these familiar people in the Hong Kong circle all sent text messages to congratulate.

"..."

I don’t know whether the mainland is slow to react or is waiting for the first weekend’s data, but in any case, not much media is following up.

At the same time, Tang Wen's English EP was released.

The world's largest MTV television network North American channel.

It was played three times in prime time, attracting the attention of many music lovers.

The TV station introduced this song in a rolling subtitle format: "Take Me to Your Heart"

[The creator of this MV is none other than the "miracle" director Tang Wen, whose "Butterfly Effect" directed and produced by him is setting records]

[The heroine of this MV is also the heroine of the movie. There will be a new song from Tang Wen tomorrow, and the album is selling well.]

Movie + music, the advertising effect is maximized.

It can be seen that Warner Music has put in a lot of effort.

This song is a lyrical, light rock song.

It is somewhat similar to the country music popular in North America.

As soon as the MV was broadcast, it attracted a group of country music audiences.

When Asians heard this melody, they found it so familiar!
Isn’t this the farewell kiss from Hong Kong superstar Zhang?

"Goodbye Kiss" became popular in 1993, and it has been 10 years now.

With cumulative sales exceeding 10 million copies, it is no exaggeration to say that it is popular all over Asia.

Even if Asians have never bought the album, they have actively or passively listened to it more than once, and can even hum along.

Now let’s take a look at Tang Wen’s MV.

It's still about the relationship between an Asian man and a white woman.

Oh yo!

This white lady is really big, uh, so beautiful.

That's even more worth seeing.

More people saw the scrolling subtitles.

I was suddenly shocked!

A beautiful singing voice doesn't count.

Or director?

Movies are still setting records?!

Or an R-rated movie?

It's so exciting, you must experience it.

This song did not cause much response among other populations.

It's not very appealing to white people or black people.

The third day of release.

People started requesting this song on music channels all over the country.

Radio stations with high listening rates in all major cities across the United States began broadcasting the program one after another.

Of course, many of the people who requested songs were hired by Warner.

“Hello, host.

I heard a new country song last night - "Take Me to Your Heart"

It feels amazing!

I heard that this song was written by Tang Wen, the director of "Saw" and "The Butterfly Effect".

Can I play it on demand?

host:"……"

Are you here to order songs or to advertise?

However, it is indeed a new thing for a well-known director to release a song, which has aroused the interest of many drivers.

So the name of this song and movie spread more widely.

"The song is pretty good. Do you want to go see a movie tonight?"

"You mean the butterfly effect? ​​Okay, I heard it's good."

Similar conversations happen from time to time.

It was natural that these people contributed new box office revenue to "The Butterfly Effect".

The movie was released on Friday and today is Sunday.

The number of people going to the movies is increasing instead of decreasing, because tomorrow is a holiday.

After Sunday, the first weekend box office was released - 7543 million US dollars!
An exaggerated number.

In just three days, "The Butterfly Effect" can be declared a commercial success!
This number also exceeded Tang Wen’s previous record of 7441 million.

"How can an R-rated movie have such an exaggerated box office?"

“The critics actually think this movie is good?”

"Go investigate whether the box office is inflated!"

This isn't a family movie, or a big-budget sequel.

How can it be so high for just an R-rated movie?

It even surpassed the family-friendly animated film "Ice Age" which was released not long ago!

Is this reasonable?
-
I spent the whole day on the road and got home too late, so this is just half of the chapter.
