The "target" Fisher, the object of Inception, is played by the villain Crian Murphy of "Batman: The Dark Knight".

After the main actors get the script, they can have more than a month to think about it. During this period.Wan Xiaohu accompanied Su Ya to wait for the countdown to the production. On December 2008th, 12, in the hospital in Beijing, Wan Xiaohu's third child was born.

Even though he felt the continuation of his life for the third time, Wan Xiaohu was still very excited.

The child's name has already been chosen by both parents.His name is Wan Chengyang, and his nickname is Yangyang.The birth of Yangyang also makes the three women who are worth nostalgic in Wan Xiaohu's life, all closely integrated with him.Moreover, the birth of three children within two years also made Wan Xiaohu feel as if he had entered the harvest season of his life.

However, compared to Zhang Yimou's seven gourd babies, Wan Xiaohu has to make persistent efforts.

Accompany Su Ya and Yang Yang for ten days, December 12th.Wan Xiaohu had no choice but to go to the first filming location of "Inception", the Tangier studio in Morocco, to really enter the filming.While he was enjoying the time with his sweet wife and foolish son, there were still some things going on outside.

First of all, after "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" won two consecutive North American and global championships, it continued to grab the box office like a bamboo.

其北美取得周末三连冠，分别是6500万、4100万、2450万美元，在第四周败给了新上映的《歌舞青春3》。随后取得1200万、800万、790万、1025万和388万美元的周末成绩。

At present, the total box office in North America is 2.6 million US dollars.

Mainland China, 6700 million yuan in the first three days.Another 8935 million yuan was created in the second week, 5460 million yuan in the third week, 2100 million yuan in the fourth week, 800 million yuan in the fifth week, and 300 million yuan in the first week, and then the painting was completed.The total box office is 24295 million RMB.

Originally, this result could have been even higher, but because this year's Hollywood blockbusters are on the offensive. In order to achieve the proportion of domestic films in the box office, Radio and Television negotiated with Wan Xiaohu to reduce the lineup and draw "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" in advance.

The face of the radio and television must be given.The movie is not produced by Sasha Entertainment, so "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" can only regret that it stops before 2.5 million.

According to the box office tracking report of mmetime.com, "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" has been released for 12 days as of December 16, and its global box office has reached 74 million US dollars.

"In recent years, sci-fi films have been impacted by the sudden emergence of magical films, and their market performance has depreciated significantly. Looking at the new millennium, it seems that the only successful sci-fi films are these Chinese-language cul films brought by Wan Xiaohu. Standard commercial sci-fi blockbusters The success of "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" seems to predict the arrival of a recovery period for sci-fi movies."

"Twentieth Century Fox can breathe a sigh of relief and wait for James Cameron to hand over the $5 million sci-fi masterpiece "Avatar" next year!" - "Wall Street Journal".

The impact of "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" on [-]th Century Fox is not only a box office success, but more positively, it revitalizes an old movie series.The peripherals and follow-up of this series are where the real money is made.Twentieth Century Fox, who got a small amount of money, naturally paid Wan Xiaohu's directing fee without hesitation.

Then, Wan Xiaohu was again invited to direct the sequel.

In this regard, Wan Xiaohu directly refused.

Firstly, he didn't have time, and secondly, he didn't want to simply work for others. Unless [-]th Century Fox was willing to let him get involved in the investment of the sequel, there was no need to talk about it.

"Rise of the Planet of the Apes" was successful, but Sasha Entertainment screwed up "Chain Saw 6" during this period.As the "Chain Saw" series that must be released every Halloween, it has now reached the first part.

The first was directed by Wan Xiaohu, with a global $1.03 million.The second film was 1.48 million US dollars worldwide, the third film was 1.65 million US dollars worldwide, the fourth film was 1.39 million US dollars worldwide, and the fifth film was 1.14 million US dollars worldwide. By this year's "Chain Saw 6", North America only got 2769 million US dollars. The world is only 6823 million US dollars.

Although the cost is only 1100 million US dollars, making money is inevitable, but it seriously did not meet expectations.It almost ruined the reputation of the entire series, from the stunning first film to the scumbag of the second film, this longest-running horror film series in history is almost unstoppable.

"We'll start the last one next year, work on the script and see the situation. If it really can't be saved, let's end it."

Wan Xiaohu looked quite open-minded.Not every series, such as the 007 series and the Star Trek series, has such longevity and success.Now Sasha Entertainment invests in more and more films. Wan Xiaohu excavated for him the "Twilight" series, "The Hunger Games" series, the Marvel Cinematic Universe Project, and the "World of Warcraft" series, as well as more than a dozen films. stand-alone blockbuster movie.
