Chapter 387 The Surprising "Heavenly Visitor"

Like "Shang-Chi 2".

The media didn't understand "Heavenly Visitor" at the beginning.

The film is quite interesting.

But does it deserve such a high box office?

According to the traditional Hollywood film business rules, the answer is undoubtedly a small question mark.

But it did hit the box office, and it's getting higher.

The Hollywood media is more entangled. Unlike their Chinese counterparts, they only need to flatter Truman without thinking.

For famous directors like Spielberg and Nolan, the Hollywood media still criticize and question them. No matter how many honors Truman has, it is impossible to compare with those big directors, but what to say?

Say the movie is bad, and you will be slapped in the face by the box office.

Saying that the movie is good, but not being able to pass the psychological barrier, or admitting that one's aesthetics has been separated from ordinary people, is another self-denial.

Although the theme of "Spawn" is outrageous, the form of expression still has the context of Hollywood's traditional film industry.

"Guests From Paradise" is completely incomprehensible. To it, the Hollywood film industry is just a decoration on the pie. What is its core spirit?
Or, it is another "Game of the Brave" with a little brain...

Of course, "Game of the Brave 2" has a global box office of 9.6 million US dollars because of the joining of Dwayne Johnson.

And "Heavenly Visitor" has Xiao Lizi, Truman, and Long Ma. No matter the star effect or CG level, it is better than "Game of the Brave 2".

Although "Guest from Paradise" seems too complicated, it should be a huge movie-watching threshold, and it won't be suitable for all ages like "Jumanji", but... after all, it has achieved such a high box office, hasn't it?
Therefore, don't think too much, it seems reasonable and smooth to understand "Guest from Paradise" purely from the perspective of a brainless film.

So how much will the final box office of "Heavenly Visitor" be?

……

10 month.

"Reunion 6" was released for the fourth week, and "Spawn" and "Heavenly Visitor" were released for the sixth week. The box office results announced by Ex-hibitorRelations are very interesting.

The weekly box office of "Avengers 6" is only 3200 million U.S. dollars, which is a typical high and low. The audience commented that it is "a plot routine that is nothing new, far inferior to the heroes of the previous generation of Avengers, and it is not as good as a gathering of heroes who do not shoot." ".

The box office of "Spawn" is only 1200 million US dollars. Environmentalists' attacks on this movie have never come to an end. Many theaters simply reduced the number of "Spawn" screenings in order not to cause trouble. Movies that many film critics consider to be "magic works" can only shine in the video tape market.

"Spawn" has a total global box office of 3.6 million U.S. dollars. Just looking at this revenue, it probably lost about 1 million U.S. dollars.

But no one laughed at Truman, because the weekly box office of "Heavenly Visitor" has reached 3500 million U.S. dollars, surpassing "Reunion 6" and his twin brother "Spawn" to become the weekly box office champion. "The New Fantastic Four" is indeed staggering.

By the end of October, "Guess from Paradise" had reached a box office of 10 million US dollars worldwide. Seeing that it is catching up with "Game of the Brave 7.6", it may exceed 2 million US dollars. In that case, Truman and the investment behind it Man, the two sister movies will make $9 billion, not as much as Shang-Chi 13, but still a miracle.

Some film critics commented, "It's hard to understand the box office miracle created by "Guest from Paradise". Of course, there is "Game of the Brave" first, and the role of pure box office revenue is understandable, but if we compare it with "Spawn", we will see it as a box office miracle." A question arises, did these two films with completely different temperaments come from the same director on the same set at the same time?"

Some people also think: "After watching "Spawn", marveling at CH's imagination, I always want to find some meaning and theme in "Heavenly Visitor", which confuses me, because the latter seems to have no meaning and theme. In other words, CH just hopes to make some money with the leftovers of "Spawn", and that should be the case."

Undoubtedly, "Spawn" and "Heavenly Visitor" will be a classic case of the Hollywood film industry. Regarding this, mainland netizens said, "You Americans just have little knowledge. Cheng Xi is now."

……

In a mansion in Beverly Hills.

Truman chatted with the excited Adam for a while.

During the whole chat process, Adam was talking excitedly, and Truman was listening silently, replying "and then?" from time to time, and then Adam continued talking excitedly for 15 minutes.

As Adam's CAA ace manager, such trivial matters would not make him so excited or even lose his composure. This time he brought the news that "Spawn" will be shortlisted for next year's Oscars. The film is "groundbreaking" and could receive multiple nominations.

Although it was a commercial failure, if "Spawn" can be nominated for an Oscar, then this loss is nothing. Adam believes that "Spawn" should go to the Golden Globe Awards for film and television first, because the Golden Globes are the direction of the Oscars ticket.

Then Adam talked a lot, but Truman really didn't listen to a word.

However, Truman's tone of voice on the phone was not even the slightest bit impatient, which made Ting Jun, who had been watching from the sidelines, express his admiration. If it was her, she would have been so annoyed that she would have scratched her head and scratched her head after talking about an uninteresting topic for so long.

Putting down the phone, Truman continued to focus on the TV.

Originally, there was no TV in this empty living room. Ting Jun bought one at the request of Truman, and Truman only watched the news, and only watched the news related to the "environmental protection girl" Grey.

It is now the news column of NBC TV station.

A reporter is interviewing Gray.

Grey and her environmental fighters are holding a banner outside a movie theater. All creatures, even dogs, who pass by will be stuffed with a leaflet warning, "Protect the environment! Stay away from "Spawn".

This protest has been going on for more than a month, so "Spawn" will also be offline in advance - it will not work if it is not offline. The weekly box office is 1200 million, which means that the daily box office is less than 200 million US dollars. It is simply a "beggar's figure" for movies released simultaneously in Europe.

Even so, Gray still did not give up her resistance to "Spawn". In an interview, she stated that she "resolutely opposes this kind of use of filming to destroy the environment" and will use "a lifelong struggle against it."

"Is she too stupid?" Truman frowned and looked at the TV, "Don't she know that she has lost?"

"Losing...what?" Ting Jun didn't understand, is there a bet between Truman and this environmental protection girl?

"She wanted to prevent the release and profit of "Spawn", but we did make a profit. Everything the devil gave her will now be her punishment. She didn't realize it at all." Truman said with a tone Surprised, "Why is she so stupid?"

"Maybe it's because she didn't graduate from middle school...?" Ting Jun followed Truman's topic and said that he didn't have any good feelings for this bad-tempered "environmental protection girl".

So Ting Jun was of course facing Truman, and didn't say "you probably don't have this bet".

Truman said: "I had to correct her wrong in person."
