no match.

A month flies in the blink of an eye.

"Unsinkable" has been released worldwide. Although a few countries in the Arab region and Southeast Asia have extended the key, overall the box office has been basically confirmed.

North America: 8.1 million US dollars (the third local historical box office)

Mainland China: US$5.9 million ([-]th in local historical box office)

Island Nation: $1.51 million ([-]nd local box office history)

United Kingdom: $1.2 million (ninth local box office history)

South Korea: 8043 million US dollars (the third local historical box office)

Those whose box office in other countries and regions have not exceeded 8000 million will not be listed. At present, they have harvested 25.92 billion US dollars in the world, directly ranking second in film history.

It should be noted that North America includes Canada and Greenland, the autonomous territory of Denmark, and the box office statistics of Xiangjiang and Wanwan have always been calculated separately.

The results were too "unscrupulous", so that Chu Zhi directly appeared on the local main page of the weekly magazine, and was also the cover character.

For the huge title "Music and Movies, 2412 and 25, Two Numbers Shining in the Center of the World", the photo uses the picture of Li standing on the spiral staircase at the end of the movie and looking down with a smile.

The magazine seemed to express that Chu Zhi was looking down on Hollywood.

It is not uncommon to log into "Time Magazine". Many Chinese stars have been on it, but almost all of them are on the Asian edition. "Time Magazine" has four editions: the American main edition, the European edition, the Asian edition, and the South Pacific edition. There are only a handful of Asians, and the few remaining are basically politicians.

[Chu Zhi went from the music industry to the film industry, and still achieved brilliant career achievements. He has an exaggerated influence all over the world, making him the most famous entertainer in China.

There has never been a star on the Forbes Celebrity List that has been at the top for three consecutive years, but Chu Zhi has maintained the top spot for four years. He is the highest-paid star in the world and the person with the most supporters in Asia.

"Wan Guo Yi" is the pinnacle of his current musical ability. According to the data released by the International Phonographic Industry Association (IFPI), the cumulative sales volume of this cross-multilingual album reached 2412 million copies two days ago, and it was certified as a double-diamond and four-platinum record. A double-diamond record re-certified by the association for 21 years.

The 27-year-old Chinese star has defied the racist stereotypes that prevail in Hollywood.

Racism has practically become a "standard" in Hollywood: Production teams are reluctant to hire any type of minority actor.It wasn't until they were criticized and protested that they had to give minorities some chance, as a form of charity.But even so, filmmakers have leaderboards in mind: Hiring black people is the top priority, and Asians may only come in second.

Even if Asian actors get roles, they will only give marginal roles to Asians. They don't need acting skills or hard work, they just need to satisfy stereotypes.

The movie in which Chu Zhi became the absolute leading role was a big success, which is a shot in the arm for the survival of Asian actors in Hollywood.

"After knowing the languages ​​of various countries, I am amazed at the diversity of cultures, and I hope to learn more about cultures." Chu Zhi replied to supporters on social platforms, "I hope for world peace."

He has many supporters all over the world, and he can become the first global superstar of Asian descent in the 21st century because Chu Zhi respects all cultures. ]

Don't be surprised why Time Magazine criticizes Hollywood, because Time Weekly criticizes any unreasonable phenomena except the father of the funder, which is why Time Weekly has become the three major weekly magazines in the United States.

Moreover, Time Magazine has a feeling of contempt for Hollywood, and it has not conducted any in-depth investigations. The success of playing Emperor Beast has not helped the survival of Asian actors in Hollywood. As for the last statement on social platforms, these two sentences are true It was posted on Twitter, but it was also chopped off.

There are a lot of stories throughout the article, the only thing I want to say is that "Time" magazine recognized Chu Zhi as a global superstar face to face.

And he is the first Asian in the 21st century, that is to say, South Korea's pop boy group, and those singers from the island country who have entered the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame are not considered the same thing in the eyes of Time Magazine.

The second place in the world shocked everyone. Looking at the box office statistics forwarded by "Hollywood Frontier", Cameron's grin became wider and wider, and he almost became the dragon king with crooked mouth.

Cameron himself set a small goal of 15 billion US dollars, and entered the top 10 of the historical box office list. He thought it was already crazy enough, but he never thought that the pattern was still small.

""Star Wars 2 Dune Spear" is on top, almost." Cameron was upset.

It's not even close, the big ship is still two to three hundred million dollars short of Star Wars, and it's quite difficult to surpass it.

The reason why Star Wars can get an exaggerated global score of 28 billion is that the biggest factor is that Spear of Dune took the lead in using mature 3D technology.

Except for the beautiful country that has a childhood filter on Star Wars, other countries around the world are like that, so it is mainly a 3D gimmick more than ten years ago.

"Japan, South Korea, Egypt, China, Brazil and other countries have achieved such a high box office, thanks to Chu Zhi's contribution."

Cameron muttered to himself, he prefers ninjas, mainly because in the 90s the island culture had a huge influence on the United States, and ninjas, samurai and other cultures were exported.

It is for this reason that Cameron knows too well that with the unique cultural atmosphere of neon, except for animated films, it is too difficult for other genres to get high box office.

Seven of Neon's top 10 are animated films, and there are no live-action films in the top five, and no blockbusters produced by Hollywood in the top ten. Unsinkable won the second place in the island nation's film and television——

"It's just as miraculous as the battle where the four main aircraft carriers of Nehong were sunk at Midway Island." Cameron muttered to himself, "The people of Nehong love Chu Zhi too much."

Isn't it too much love?"When I Close My Eyes" ranks ninth in the box office list of the island nation's film history, and "Unsinkable" ranks second. There are only three live-action films in the top ten.

South Korea's box office is also very good, why didn't Cameron pay attention?Because in his heart, South Korea is superficial, and that group of people is purely for masculinity.

Cameron's stereotype of South Koreans comes from an experience of flirting with girls with friends... The story is a bit complicated, so I won't go into details.

The more he looked at the box office statistics, the happier he was, but not long after Cameron's phone rang.

"Warmly celebrate our Cameron becoming the most powerful director in the world and becoming the king of the world."

It was no ordinary congratulations. The voice on the other end of the phone was not only eccentric, but also borrowed lines from the movie.

"Do you need me to contact Dr. Walker for you?" Cameron is not a fuel-efficient lamp, just think about his character as a tyrant in the crew.

He continued: "He is a famous psychiatrist, Mr. Davis. If you are sick, you must see a doctor."

"Fuck, you dog..."

"Do you think you are Holman? Can you use some new words for cursing people?" Cameron saw that the other party had broken his defense, and he also corrected his attitude, and communicated in a serious manner: "Can you communicate normally?"

Davis on the other end of the phone smiled angrily: "Mr. Cameron, it's 12:31 a.m. New York time—"

"So what?" Cameron interrupted dissatisfied.

"Village Voice Salon, we've been here for more than an hour, and we're missing you." Davis said, "Just now we were discussing whether Mr. Cameron no longer wants to come to our small salon after he becomes a great director. "

Uh - Cameron is a little embarrassed, he is indeed venomous, but he is not unreasonable.Every month he has an appointment with his friends in the circle, today he really forgot the time.

"I'll be right there." Cameron hung up the phone, and then he had a mental struggle for a while, and he took the treasured Screaming Eagle Cabernet Sauvignon in [-], and he still had to apologize to his friends if he did something wrong.

Fortunately, Cameron lives not far from Greenwich Village, where the party is held, and can be reached within half an hour by car.

The members of the party include great writers who have won the National Library Award of the Beautiful Country, gold medal screenwriters, and playwrights who have written best-selling plays.The Village Voice Salon is the handful at the top of the American entertainment pyramid.

There are many affluent areas in New York, but Greenwich Village, a cultural area, is well-deserved. More than half of the famous European and American writers in the 80s and [-]s of the last century lived in the village. Many things such as jazz center, beat generation literature, and avant-garde ideas were born here. .

The salon name "Village Voice" also commemorates the disappearance of the critical weekly.

Half an hour later, Cameron arrived at the meeting place. When he entered, all the members of the party looked over with scrutiny and did not speak.

What the hell are you looking at? Have you ever seen a director whose appearance can be compared to Chu Zhi's when he was young?Cameron muttered in his heart, even though he had seen the world, these gazes made him uncomfortable.

"Ahem, I think our salon is short of a bottle of wine, so I wasted a little time." Cameron put the small suitcase on the table, opened the lid, and inside lay the unopened red wine quietly.

"Screaming Eagle Cabernet Sauvignon? It's still from [-]! This bottle of wine is hard to find, and the delay is understandable." Roberts said.

He is the runner-up of the Nobel Prize in Literature. He has not been nominated for three consecutive years. He has won the National Literary Award twice and is a well-known writer in North America.

All the people present were wine lovers. Some took corkscrews, some looked for decanters, and they all started to move, which meant that Cameron's "apology" satisfied all the friends.

While the red wine was still sobering up, the atmosphere in the room was lively, chatting about their respective topics.

The playwright was dissatisfied with the script he wrote. He wanted to write a story about the slums in New York. For this reason, he went to the slums of Queens for many times to conduct on-the-spot investigations, but he always felt that the actor’s thinking was not in the slums. Someone proposed to give the script to the slums. people look at.

The gold medal screenwriter and the director had a dispute in the theater. The main reason was that the director wanted to change the script blindly. The two had a big dispute on the set. If it wasn't for the fact that the director's hobby is karate, he would have punched him.

Wait, it's Davis' turn, he immediately started moaning and sighing, his thick black eyebrows almost frowning.

"Davis hasn't found a suitable actor yet?" Cameron asked, "You pursue perfection more than I do in making movies. You almost auditioned Hollywood actors all over the place."

"I want an actor who is completely different from the whole world, but he must have human temperament, because he wants to be the savior of mankind." Davis said: "I am not satisfied."

"Actors who are completely different from the whole world, are you looking for aliens?" The playwright laughed.

Cameron said: "Aliens are not suitable. Aliens don't look human. I think Davis is looking for someone from another world."

For the new film invested by Warner Bros., Davis has been looking for a male lead for half a year, and the members of the Village Voice Club are tired of hearing it.

If it weren't for Davis's three films with a global box office of over one billion, Warner Bros. would definitely turn their backs.But for capable people who can help earn money, capitalists are still very tolerant.

"Mr. Cameron, the current 40 billion director, do you have any good candidates to recommend?" Davis said.

The 40 billion big director refers to Cameron's personal box office accumulation of more than 40 billion US dollars including his unsinkable achievements.But what Davis wants to express is that this result is still lower than him.

"An actor who is different from the whole world?" Cameron really has a candidate, he asked: "Become the savior of mankind? What same savior."

Davis said: "Human beings live in a virtual world, and the savior can lead human beings out of the virtual existence."

Reality and virtuality...Ke Meilun seemed to remember something, he suddenly said: "What do you think of Chu Zhi?"

"That Chinese star?" Davis said, "He looks too good-looking to be suitable..."

Davis, who was about to refuse, carefully substituted Chu Zhi's appearance into his protagonist.

Of course I watched my friend’s movie Never Sinking, and the leading actor Chu Zhi really felt very unreal. Thinking about it this way, it seems that it is indeed a bit appropriate, and Davis fell into thinking.

Sharon continued to ask the next question, saying that he was also a director, but a literary film director named Hart, who was worried about the new movie script.

"The old hat is going to impact the three major European movies. Roberts will give the old hat a recommendation. Is there any recent literary works that are worthy of being adapted into a film."

"I'm sorry Hart." The great writer Roberts said: "Recently, the only things I can look forward to in the literary world are the unpublished new work "Mr. Cogito" by the Chinese poet Huainan, and the upcoming English version "Mr. Love in Guatemala, both works are not suitable for adaptation."

"Huainan, a Chinese poet?" Hart said, "I've only read his "Don't Go Gentle into That Good Night". Are his poems worth looking forward to?"

"Affirmative." Roberts responded decisively: "Although the mother body is death and life, he has a split-personality thinking, and the things he thinks about in several collections of poetry are completely different. His collection of poems "The Tour" last year was exaggerated by the bookstore as a modern bookstore. Faust, but I also think that Huainan can indeed become as great as Goethe."

"Mr. Cogito I'm looking forward to it too." Said the playwright of the salon, "Just a poem published attracts me, I even recite it, it's always safe at home / Whenever Mr. Cogito / Go out for a walk in the morning / As soon as he crossed the threshold / he met - the abyss / This is not Pascal's abyss / This is not Dostoevsky's abyss / This is an abyss / Tailor-made for Mr. Cogito..."

Playwrights and great writers are so respected, even if everyone doesn't pay attention to the field of poetry, they understand the gold content of Huainan, a Chinese poet.

"It's Huaxia again." Hart said, "Huaxia is Chu Zhi and Huainan again. There are too many geniuses emerging from Huaxia."

Cameron agrees: "In a sense, Chu Zhi is a genius in both appearance and music."

They feel that they have heard the names of Chinese people a lot recently.

"I've decided to invite Chu Zhi to audition for "22nd Century Murder Network"!" Davis suddenly said, startling everyone.

Chapter 551 Restart

"22nd Century Murder Network, what kind of bad movie?" Chu Zhi's first reaction was this.

Niu Jiangxue said: "Warner Bros. invested 1.4 million US dollars in the S-level project. The director Davis is a Mexican national treasure director and the king of commercial films in Hollywood. If it is a big success at the box office, it will become a series in the future."

"If the future is uncertain, we don't need to discuss it. Judging from the investment and director lineup, this movie has a high chance of success." Niu Jiangxue said.

The lineup behind it is good, but the title is too bad.Chu Zhi glanced at the outline of the plot roughly: the cyber hacker Neo discovered that the seemingly normal world was controlled by a computer artificial intelligence system called "Matrix"...

"Does the company want me to take it?" The synopsis also looked like a bad movie, but Chu Zhi just thought about it, and he asked after a little consideration.

"If the leading actor of "Unsinkable" is a European or American, at least it can be released in Europe and the United States for another month." Niu Jiangxue did not answer directly, but said another thing: "Capitalists are profit-seeking, and the unsinkable There is still potential to be tapped, Fox did not extend the encryption key on a large scale around the world, it may only be for greater interests, or a large group made a move."

"So if my movie is a big success again, my reputation and status in Europe and America will be more stable?" Chu Zhi completed the follow-up words and nodded bravely, that's what she meant.

There was an appointment immediately, Chu Zhi accepted the script, and was going to give an answer after reading the script when he had time.

In the reception room on the 14th floor of the company, the assistant has served the tea, and the reservation is for two foreigners.

They are Hollywood director Howard Tunney and Curry, head of Disney Greater China.

"Mr. Chu Zhi, we sincerely invite you to be the soundtrack of "Star Wars: Reboot." Tony took the initiative to invite.

Acting Emperor Beast served as the soundtrack of "Unsinkable", and was praised by many reports, calling him "the Vladimir Horowitz of the 21st century". Compared with his stunning appearance, his musical talent really did not attract attention. How many reports, perhaps only after being nominated for an Oscar, the people who eat melons will notice.

On the contrary, Chu Zhi's ability is highly recognized in the industry, so Tony also went to watch Mokang's new film Western Canyon Trial Meeting. Regardless of the plot, the soundtrack in the film can be said to be the pinnacle of Western films.Tuni also listened to Chu Zhi's album, and felt that the strict requirements of "Interstellar Opera" might really be fulfilled.

"In terms of remuneration, we can still improve, 350 million US dollars and subsequent copyright income." Tunney said: "Mr. Chu Zhi, please think carefully."

Hollywood's top soundtrack artist is only paid 400 million US dollars, and Chu Zhi currently only has one soundtrack work, so the price offered is really high. As for the follow-up copyright income, it is the share of the original soundtrack.

"Mr. Howard Tunney came so far away, I am very grateful, but my schedule is too tight, I am very sorry, I don't have time to cooperate with Mr. Tunney." Chu Zhi refused again, and Lao Qian refused once before. Unexpectedly, the director himself came in person.

Tony glanced at Curry next to him with a wry smile, and both of them could tell that this was not a problem that a small amount of money could solve.

How should I put it, Tunney made it himself, and it is okay to say that he deserves it. His friends Na Mokang and Ke Meilun introduced Chu Zhi to him.Last year, Chu Zhi was not so busy, so when he sent an invitation, maybe he would really accept it.But at that time, Tunney didn't take his friend's recommendation seriously, because he felt that "Chinese people don't understand Star Wars".

After seeing off the guests, Chu Zhi received a news that the event time had changed.

"[Did you feel the love tonight] will be postponed for two days." Old Qian said: "It may have something to do with the veterans parade in front of the White House a few days ago."

His brain hurts, and a two-day delay means that many of his itineraries will have to be rescheduled.

"Brother Qian, you said that we are too busy with our schedule and don't have time, so how about rejecting Ms. Tracy's invitation." Chu Zhi said.

"I personally think it's not very good." Old Qian said, "Who says America's cultural industry is number one in the world? Lord Jiu, you are the only Chinese star invited. Absence always means that China is absent, which is not good."

The itinerary they discussed was a music exchange organized by America's First Lady Tracy on the South Lawn of the White House. They invited popular singers from countries such as Britain, Germany and France, and the top [-] national GDPs were invited, including India, but no bear country.

Chu Zhi has a different idea. If his fame rises to a higher level, it is unreasonable to be able to reach the concert of the first lady of the United States without him.

"There's nothing you can do, let's adjust the itinerary," Chu Zhi said.
