Chapter 166 Box Office
"Disasters will always pass, and human beings will inevitably be reborn. "2012" is a similar theme directed by director Roland after filming "Independence Day" and "The Day After Tomorrow". Human beings face difficulties and must make choices."

"Roland put aside the past routine that human beings must unite and move forward in the face of disasters, and chose to show more of the sentient beings when the end of the world is coming."

"The rich bring their dogs on board, the elite sacrifice civilians, and the leaders try their best to escape. Jackson, the protagonist who is a commoner, is undoubtedly the lucky one chosen by the director."

"And among them, the madman in front of Yellowstone Park, and the wise and calm lama in the snow area, they respectively represent the two most extreme reactions of human beings to the end of the world."

"Peace or madness, death is inevitable."

"Of course, apart from these detailed investigations, Hollywood's blockbuster special effects that will never disappoint are still the hardest brand."

"In general, "2012" is a qualified popcorn movie. If you come back from vacation and travel, if you are struggling to find a job, you might as well go to the theater and try it. I believe you will not be disappointed."

In the dead of night, Conoco took a sip of the warm coffee and examined the words in his film review.

As an independent film critic, on the one hand, she contributes articles to magazines and newspapers, and on the other hand, she is also actively embracing the Internet wave, and this film review was published by her on the bib and her personal website at the same time.

Conoco brushed off her long hair, revised a few sentences carefully, and read it through with a frown—as a writer, she has a common problem among groups, and she always feels that she can write better.

"Phew. That's it." Conoco finished the draft and said to himself, "It should work."

In fact, it has been less than a year since she resigned to be an independent film critic writer, and she is still a little uneasy about whether the things she writes can support herself.

"Then send it out." Alone at home, Conoco had developed the habit of talking to himself, and at this moment moved the mouse to send the food that feeds him to the Internet.

But for a moment, she suddenly patted her forehead, then quickly stopped her movements and opened the document, and found a place to add content.

"As the lead actor of this film, Gan Jing's performance is absolutely qualified, especially his driving stunts are a lot of points. Although he has too many off-stage factors, but as far as this film is concerned, there is no problem. The same as Yellow-skinned, I don't like all kinds of news outside the court, but I still have a certain respect for him who is working hard in Hollywood. I give Gan Jing a [-] out of [-]."

Conoco finished typing this paragraph in one go, found a suitable place to intersperse it, and reviewed the entire manuscript again.

There was a crisp click of the mouse, this time ConocoPhillips really sent out the movie review.

Before posting, she was always in a nervous mood, and after posting, she was always relaxed - anyway, whether readers like it or not, after posting, it is not up to her to decide.

Conoco rubbed her temples, pulled her slippers from the work table to the sofa, and lay back, wrapped in softness, deeply relaxed.

She turned over comfortably, and muttered to herself: "This movie is actually quite good, and it's quite enjoyable to watch in the theater."

Conoco on the sofa didn't know that the movie review she just sent was immediately liked by others.

"I feel the same way, the special effects of this movie are really great! After two days, I have to take my friends to the second screening!"

"The big explosion in Yellowstone Park, the fall of the Roman church, and the tsunami hit the face. The effect is really good. It is worthy of a Hollywood movie. The picture is really direct and dramatic. It is worth recommending."

"I voted yes."

In a film, regardless of inner exploration points such as delicateness, touching, emotion, ethics, etc., the touch point that most makes the audience open their wallets and pay out money, and the point that accounts for the most factors is-enjoy!
Strong sensory stimulation, violent heartbeat, handsome enough and cool enough, coupled with a smooth but not harsh plot, a Hollywood movie that allows the audience to walk in is completed.

The disaster special effects blockbuster "2012" has these elements, and they are well integrated.

When Gan Jing's somewhat complicated and contradictory image was washed away by a police press conference, when the results of the first trial of the case against ten media outlets were widely disseminated, when the promotional activities that lasted more than a month were stimulated to the effect... "2012" bucked the trend at the box office. It's no surprise that it went up.

In the first week, "2012" won the weekly box office championship with a slight advantage over the film "The Wind" of the same period. It is worth mentioning that Gan Jing is the protagonist of the former, and also the cameo of the latter at the beginning.

Many viewers have just watched Gan Jing turn the tide in the end of the world, turned around and walked into the second movie, only to find that he was stabbed to death in front of the dinner table.

Tsk, this contrast is really interesting.

In the second week, "2012" continued its upward momentum, opened up the gap with "The Wind", and won the weekly box office champion again.

Meanwhile, the blockbuster is doing well in other parts of the world.

France earned US$1710 million and South Korea US$990 million. After putting aside the weakness of the previous few days, Huaxia rose rapidly, and its box office performance was second only to France.

Only in the North American market, perhaps because audiences here are accustomed to the model of Hollywood movies, "only" 6500 million US dollars in the first week, slightly lower than the disaster film "The Day After Tomorrow" directed by the same director Roland in 04.

"2012" was released in 105 countries and regions around the world, and without exception, all of them won the box office champion in the first week.

This performance shocked many, especially those who secretly prepared to watch the joke because of the box office performance in the first few days of its release.

According to the current trend, the global box office of "2012" can reach at least [-] to [-] million US dollars, and the performance of this film alone, Gan Jing's status will be completely different from before.

This difference has become a trend now, at least, there are a lot more calls to Gan Jing to congratulate him.

"Director Chen, it's just some luck."

"That's fine, I'm hanging up."

Chen Huihong was looking at the materials on the sofa, and asked without raising his head when he heard Gan Jing's voice hanging up the phone: "It's over?"

Gan Jing sat next to him, and let out a long breath: "This is more tiring than when I was filming!"

"Not all the same. Congratulations, it's human nature to say a few beautiful words, and it should be understood." Chen Huihong lowered his head and marked it on the information, and then said, "Should the United States give it affirmation?"

"Before you came, Columbia just called me, and they came here because of the box office results. In fact, to be honest, the special effects are very important for this film's high box office." Gan Jing smacked his lips, "It's no wonder the special effects The cost is so high."

"Well, Hollywood." Chen Huihong nodded and said, "Someone has already approached you to invite you to make a movie, but there are no big productions yet."

"I will go to the United States in two days to see if there are other opportunities."

Once a film performs well, it is necessary to start thinking about the next work. The life of a star actor is always busy.
