Chapter 467 Head to head!

In imd

Online, the top-250 list fights are going on every day. After more than half a year, the new Oscar best film "Firefly" still ranked first with 9.3 points, "The Godfather" and "The Shawshank Redemption" both scored 9.1 points. Because "Firefly" is in the limelight, 216 North American theaters are preparing to make it on the big screen again on the new weekend of March 10, collecting tickets for some missed and reviewers. According to the past situation, it is expected to receive another box office of more than 1 million US dollars.

Ten directed films, nine Oscars nominations, five Oscars, two Best Directors, 26 years old and one month old Wang Yang has reached an unprecedented height and is hard to be a latecomer.[]

Paramount and the crew of "Fantasy Director" have reason to be very happy. This year, Pokémon's popularity and reputation have reached a new peak! Go to the streets to pick up a young man and ask, "All skin and ethnic groups are good, and there is nothing that doesn't know Fantasy Yang. This movie was released at the right time. Regarding the biggest problem, "The Selection of Fantasy Yang Actor", the crew has auditioned for several pretty good young Chinese newcomers. Scott Rudin couldn't hide his excitement and said bluntly that "everything went unexpectedly" and the film is expected to be released at the end of this year.

However, something unsuccessful seems to have happened. The American version of "Infernal Affairs" is scheduled to be released at the end of this year...

"The Magical Director" is naturally attracted by the attention and expectations of fans. Wang Yang's third science fiction film "I am a legend", and the American version of "Infernal Affairs" filmed at the same time has attracted more attention and expectations, especially after he "speaks"! The latter is expected to hit the 79th Oscar next year! Best film, Best Director, Best Actor...

"Success inevitably dazzled his mind." "The legend began in 2006 and the legend ended in 2007?" Shenqi Yang's ambition could not escape being joking and even ridiculed by the media that always had an attitude towards Yangmi. Yangmi even found a breakthrough: "Idiot!" It will take three years from "The Ninth District" to "Firefly". This time I won two grand prizes. This guy was so happy that he was dizzy! With the American version of "Infernal Affairs" to reach the Oscar for the second consecutive year? Well, not many people have watched the Hong Kong version of "Infernal Affairs", but it is a story of undercover police and gangsters.

But they know the key point, let alone winning the Director Award, it is unlikely to be the shortlisted competition!

There are only two consecutive awards in history. John Ford won the awards in 1941, the 13th "Grapes of Angry" in 1941, the 14th "Green Mountains and Valleys" in 1950, and Joseph L-Mankevic, the 22nd "Three Wifes" in 1950, and the 23rd "The Beauty of Comets". But those are the old almanacs of the last century. At that time, there were only a few large studios. What about the times? The times have long been different. At the age of 26, I even broke the little hope, because the awards are judged by people, not automatic scoring machines. No matter how good the movie is, it is useless if people don't vote. It is not a reason for not having a new award in 55 years.

Of course, there are still theoretical opportunities. Yang fans think so. Because the awards are people, have you not won the best film and best director in science fiction films before? Fanqi Yang is a specialist in creating legends and creating miracles! He has already had too many amazing things, so what's the problem with another one?

Let’s talk about the finalists again. In the 1980s, there were only four times in Stephen Spielberg (1982 "Raiders of the Lost Ark"·Year "Alien et"), Robert Ultraman (1993 "Big Player"·Year "Uki World"), Ridley Scott (2001 "Gladiator"·Year "Black Hawk Down"), and Clint Eastwood (2004 "Mysterious River"·Year "Million Dollar Baby").

On average, it appears once every 6.5 years. Yang fans feel that there is no problem, and they are almost disdainful. The difficulty is too low! Is this an insult to Shenqi Yang? If you want to play, just play for three consecutive years, and next year is just the beginning! The American version of "Infernal Affairs" and "I Am Legend" happen to be just right. I believe Shenqi Yang will say after the Oscars next year: "I will continue to come next year!"

But Yanghei thought it was ridiculed that successive shortlisting was hard to come by. Spielberg was a continuous phenomenon-level film, Ultraman Art Film, Scott was qualified, Eastwood Art Film, and Wang Yang had never made a gang crime movie. His art films have always been sunny and positive, but they have never won an Oscar. I don’t know how the American version of “Infernal Affairs” was filmed. In short, Wang Yang could not easily be nominated again, and it was "simultaneous shooting", which means that the difficulty was doubled and twice...

There are peaks, downhills and troughs, and they don’t believe this guy can stay in shape all the time! He will see an awkward scene at the end of the year at the earliest, and "Magic Director" will also be released at that time. It is a wonderful irony. Thinking of these good things, Yang Hei was overjoyed.

"Damn!" Scott Rudin had a headache, and David Fincher was also much more melancholy. Isn't this Wang Yang's action to snipe "Magic Director"? I've long known that he would not be indifferent! The American version of "Infernal Affairs" is scheduled to be released globally on December 22.

It is worth mentioning that the drama "Blood Diamond" (Warner Bros.) produced by Graham King, directed by Martin Scorsese and starring Leonardo DiCaprio is being filmed in South Africa. This is the second collaboration between the three after "The New York Gangster". It is known as one of the highlights of the 2006-07 awards season.

This is not a separate announcement. Oscar winner Flame Movie has recently announced the release schedule of a series of future films! It has caused media reports, fans and fans are competing for attention, and film dealers are rushing to be frightened!

"The Magician", bought from Sundance at a high price, is scheduled to be held on September 15. The series already has films such as "Reviving the Player" (Columbia) starring Dwayne Johnson, "Black Dahlia" (Global) and "Scarlett Johnson"; "Saw 4" will naturally continue on October 27 of Halloween, and there is no opponent yet. Other large-scale new films will be released either in advance or in the back; "The Little Sunshine Beauty" will be launched on the screen on November 10; "The Deadly Magic" is scheduled to be held on December 1, and the series has a new line of "The Birth of Jesus" with high expectations.

But what is more eye-catching is not them, but the many major plans of Fire Movie next year.

"The Green Hornet" is scheduled to be released on March 16. The second week of the Spartan 300 Warriors (Warner), and the next week will include "Teen Ninja Turtles" and "Life and Death Sniper". If the film is good, "The Green Hornet" won the first week's championship. The more anticipated "Iron Man" is scheduled to be on June 1, which is definitely a lively summer vacation. The next week's "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" and the next week's "Thirteen Arhats" are all its biggest enemies to achieve success; "Assassin League 2" is scheduled to be on July 27 at the end of the summer vacation. The comedy animation "The Simpsons" with a budget of 75 million yuan that week, 110 million yuan next week, and 140 million yuan next week, and 140 million yuan next week, and no one is easy to mess with.

But these seem to be the second. Pokémon's new science fiction work is the most popular. "I Am a Legend" is scheduled to be released worldwide on July 6, 2007!

Although everyone knew that "I Am a Legend" would definitely capture a certain month tomorrow, May, June, and July, when the news was confirmed, July was still like a clear sky suddenly covered with clouds and a storm was coming. Some people were happy and some were worried. After "Firefly"'s 4-week super kill, everyone knew that if you want to win the first week of the new film, you must definitely avoid Wang Yang's big production, let alone this time there is a "box office bomb" Will Smith!

Fantastic Yang + Smith + science fiction production + good movies = nuclear bomb! The company that is not in the nuclear radiation area can't help but cheer and celebrate, but the people in the radiation area are worried.

"Die Hard 4" (Fox) with a budget of 110 million yuan was released on June 27, and the animation "Rat King" with a budget of 150 million yuan (Disney)

Bona) will be released on June 29, which is not the worst. After all, it was last week (6-29 to 7-5). No matter how powerful I am, I will not win this week's championship; "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" (150 million budget) scheduled for July 11, there seems to be no need to worry, especially the senior executives of WB who know the style of "I am Legend" are not panicked at all.

Let’s not talk about Harry’s super popularity, at most, he won’t play the idea of ​​trying his luck on July 6-12. Now there is no chance to join the company. He will postpone the release on Friday for two days to ensure that the firepower is enough to win the weekend and weekly championships from July 13-19. Can “I Am Legend” cause any storm in the second week?

So the most dilemma is the science fiction masterpiece "Transformers" (Paramon & DreamWorks), which will be released on July 3 next year. Originally, the only one blockbuster in the 27th week of 2007. Although director Michael Bay completely messed up "Escape from the Clones Island", with the huge popularity of "Transformers" toys and cartoons, just use special effects, explosions, scenes, hot vases and other popcorns to feed the audience. Zhou Champion is easy to get, and "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" can't get the cheapest, on the contrary, it is likely to get the cheapest in the 26th week.

Now "I Am Legend" has entered its 27th week, and the situation has changed dramatically! If "The Rat King" and "Die Hard 4" are not that weak and "I Am Legend" has not encountered Waterloo, then "Transformers" will become unpleasant for two weeks, and it is very likely that even a champion will not be won in the end.

So either withdraw to the 6th release and fight with "I Am Legend" to fight for the championship in Week 27; or continue to watch the chance on the screen on the 3rd, two choices! Paramount must make a decision.

Media fans have always only cared about the champion, no one cares who is the runner-up, and the lack of a championship title has a great impact on subsequent box office. This is the situation Paramount is least willing to see. Moreover, the production budget of "Transformers" is as high as 150 million, and the popularity of these robots is unbelievable. Since the project was officially launched, the expectations and attention of fans around the world have been extraordinary. Paramount & DreamWorks leaders know that it will be successful and hugely successful! They even talked about the future plans of "Transformers 2" and "Transformers 3".

Wang Yang is not easy to mess with; Transformers such as Optimus Prime, Megatron, Bumblebee, etc. are not easy to mess with! Is his fists hard or the fists of giant steel hard?

"What's wrong with Wang Yang? We may not necessarily lose." Producer Don Murphy and director Michael Beddo are full of confidence. The boss and producer Spielberg also tend to fight another game. Last year, "World War" lost too much. There is still a lot of time to consider, but Paramount is almost sure to fight! If he doesn't withdraw, he will lose in the 27th week; if he comes back, he may not be successful. If "Transformers" koshes Fantastic Yang!!! That's simply...

Starting from "When Happiness Comes Knocking the Door", all 7 movies he directed can win the box office championship in the first week! Being hit by someone in the lively summer? The ending of the magical film is naturally even more magical!

Take a step back and say that the box office war is attractive enough, and if you lose, it can cause a lot of news reports. It is better than dying silently. What's more, "boring" projects like "I Am Legend" with one or two actors, without any popcorn. If it weren't for Fantasy Young and Smith, they would have died one after another, and Paramount really couldn't find a reason to retreat.

Since "Transformers" was scheduled first, it was considered to have seized the schedule. According to the rules of the world, "I Am a Legend" that rushed forward has some provocations. However, when asked by the media, Flame Movie spokesman Fona Hasson emphasized very calmly: "The schedule of summer is always so tense. From May to August next year, there will be a new film with a budget of over 100 million yuan almost every week. Flame is just maintaining its own rhythm and not selecting opponents."

In fact, no one in the flame movie knows that Wang Yang really chose, he is just choosing to play with "Transformers"!

If the post-production goes well, "I Am a Legend" can be painted in June. Two weeks later, the 24th week "Fantasy Four 2" (77.45 million in the first week, 130 million in the first week), "Fake God 2" (45.53 million in the first week, 175 million in the first week), "Transformers" (84.9 million in the first week), "Cooking Rat King" (80.51 million in the first week), and "Die Hard 4" (51.66 million in the first week), are all powerless opponents. The WB version of "I Am a Legend" that went to the Christmas season was 103 million in the first week (December 14-20 in the 50th week), but he chose the 27th week, and "Transformers" originally won the weekly championship with 102 million in the first week.

186 million in 10 days, and 156.5 million in the first seven days! "Transformers" has a very powerful combat power. If it puts its premiere day on Friday and concentrates its firepower to attack the opening week, the box office in the first seven days may exceed 160 million. Of course, the premise is that "I am a Legend" does not have the opponent.

Who will win the first week championship? Wang Yang doesn't know, he just wants to know, Robert Zemegis is very right. When passion is gradually lost, you must find more fun and excitement to work to have greater enthusiasm! A strong opponent is a good fun, atypical commercial films vs. the most typical summer popcorn, loneliness vs. the lively, dog vs. the Hornet, no woman vs. Megan Fox, he was directing a real good show.

"Hahahaha!" A burst of laughter rang out in the conference room. Under the slightly puzzled gaze of Mark Slunt, Chris Ball, Simon Willis and others, Wang Yang, who was sitting in the chairperson, shrugged with a "bang", closed the release chart in his hand and said with a smile: "Who do we still need to be afraid of now? Please! I think it's better for the flame to maintain its own rhythm, and there will always be opponents, just July 6, 2007!"

So the North American opening day of "I Am Legend" was decided like this. No one knew that Pokémon was just for fun, but it caused headaches for Paramount leaders to this day.

It is obvious that the two movies have not started filming yet, and whether they can be produced as scheduled and released as scheduled is unknown. For this very likely box office battle, veteran movie fans are already on imd

The forum community was full of discussions.

No one cares about Michael Bay, and Paramount is asking him to direct it, which means "Transformers" must be a pure popcorn commercial blockbuster. Not to mention the depth of the content, the plot and details are always mentally retarded. There is no difference between finding Stephen Somos, Brian Singer, Joe Cannahan and others to direct it, and even doing better or worse than him. In any case, movie fans sometimes like the "stupid fun" of being so happy and adrenaline-sky, especially this is Transformers!

This is the key, Fantastic Yang vs Transformers! Debbie C left a message saying: "My will win! I will go to the movie "Ial" as soon as possible, not a bunch of explosions." Joey-l said: "Sorry Fantastic Yang, I will watch "Transformers" first and then "I Am Legend". I have been looking forward to the live-action movie version for too long." Aaron F also said: "The Autobots have grown up with me, I am a big fan, so I will go to watch it first, "I Am Legend" will wait for the next week."

Jason G said: "I think Transformers will have a stupid story, good CGI special effects and action scenes. Watching the first time is great, and watching the second time is boring, but you still have to watch the first time." Hafft said: "Of course, magical Yang, watching his movies is a pleasure!" Alicia said: "Wang Yang = great movie, Michael Bay = noisy that you can't sleep well in the screening room." Brandon S also supported Wang Yang: "Who is here? Oh, Optimus Prime, are you going to watch "I am a legend" together?"...

Regardless of whether "Transformers" is released on the 3rd or 6th, there will be a fierce war head-on in the 27th week of 2007. (To be continued)
