Chapter 576 [Everyone is boiling! The world is popular! 】
On Friday, July 18, "The Dark Knight" will be released in North America.
Three days later, the crowd was in full bloom!
"The Dark Knight" undisputedly ranked as the champion of film history with a first-day box office of US$69.22 million. The premiere scale of 4,366 theaters also surpassed the premiere record of 4,362 theaters held by "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" in one fell swoop, becoming the largest film released in American film history.
The first weekend box office result of US$158 million surpassed Spider-Man 3 and ranked first in the weekend box office list in the American film history. "The Dark Knight" has rewrited several records in the American box office history and is creating legends.
Driven by "The Dark Knight", the total revenue of the top 12 films in the box office this weekend was as high as US$249 million, which was 73 percentage points higher than the previous weekend, making it the highest-paid weekend this year.
The overlord box office performance of "Dark Knight" will also have a negative impact. Whether it is new or old movies on the list this weekend, all the box office trends are weak. On this weekend, almost all moviegoers in North America went to the theaters to watch "Dark Knight"!
People in North America will follow the crowd because the movie has a good reputation and zero negative reviews. The reputation of "The Mystery of the Shadow" was not so good at that time. Many people complained about Nolan's action scenes. This time Batman played much more beautifully.
There are also many people who go to the theater for Liang Kun, wanting to know what a Chinese actor can play a famous comic villain. The main thing is a group of comic fans who criticized Liang Kun at the time. They wanted to take on Liang Kun's fault, but they became Liang fans after watching the movie.
Many people don’t even believe that the clown was played by Liang Kun.
"Isn't Liang Kun only 25 years old? The actor Joker looks very old. And he is so crazy, his eyes are completely different from those of Liang Kun attending the premiere, and during the interview program."
"What's going on with those two cuts on his mouth? It's so real. You won't really cut your face for acting, right?"
"Fuck, I'm convinced, completely convinced. He's so amazing to act to this level. He's not alone at all!"
As the Olympics approaches, no one has more gimmicks than Liang Kun, a seed player in the track and field championships, and no one can do it either.
Several main creators participated in publicity activities everywhere, Christopher Nolan, Liang Kun, and Christian Bale were the main players.
Liang Kun is on the news every day, and countries around the world report him. He also became popular in Africa because he filmed "The Lost Love" with "South African Diamond" Charlize Theron and was nominated for the Oscar. Some people also speculated that he had the strength to compete with Bolt in 100 meters and 200 meters.
Liang Kun's acting skills have been widely recognized again. Many people believe that he will definitely be nominated for the Oscar again next year. However, it is still difficult for him to win the award. Nicholson played the Joker back then, but he didn't even get a nomination.
In most cases, superhero movies are often considered to be money-making, not winners. If the academy admits a superhero movie, it will be nominated for projects such as technical categories such as visual effects, sound editing, and cinematography.
When the Oscar is announced, the most depressing person is definitely Nolan. This movie will not be nominated for Best Picture or Best Director, although he made it very exciting.
Liang Kun was always modest in an interview, but others praised him.
Bell admired Liang Kun with all his heart. "He is really an extraordinary actor, devoted himself to the movie, and he wanted to play the best clown. His behavior is very similar to that of the clown. He encouraged me to hit him in the confrontation scene of the police station. I said, 'You know, I don't have to hit you really, the effect will be as good as hitting you really,' and he didn't agree, so he said, 'Phone, hit me,' he really devoted himself to it, and he made me get goosebumps all over my body."
Gary Oldman said: "I know many experiential actors, and Liang's condition is the most worrying thing. On the crew, I was really afraid that he would have psychological problems, so I suddenly started to kill me as the director, but he had nothing to do."
The host also teased Liang Kun: "Your hairline in the movie is different from now, and your hair has grown again. Have you ever had hair transplants?
Liang Kun smiled and said, "That was a style I made on purpose. It looks older and the head-up pattern is also painted."
His explanation is reasonable and no one finds it strange. It is indeed difficult to distinguish his age in the movie. When he looks at people, he lowered his head and rolled his eyes slightly, and raised his eyebrows to make his head-up tattoo more obvious. Some people believe it even at the age of 40.
Warner executives are now more optimistic about Liang Kun, and his performance exceeded the company's expectations.
Zach Schneider's "Watchman" was completed on February 19 and is still being cut. Warner originally wanted to release the movie this year, but after watching the material, he decided to release it again next year.
This movie will almost certainly fail, and no matter how you edit it, it will take more than 160 minutes. If Zach cuts it himself, the movie will not be over for three hours.
At this time, many senior executives of Warner Company began to consider reusing Liang Kun and asked him to shoot the opening work for the DC Cinema Universe. After watching "The Dark Knight", they believed that Liang Kun must understand comics better than Zach.
Warner senior executives contacted Liang Kun, Liang Kun, Nolan, and Charles Rowan. All signs indicate that Liang Kun will direct blockbusters for Warner in the future.
Considering Liang Kun's current age, if he directs a superhero movie, he can participate in the entire DC movie universe from beginning to end until the series restarts. Many people think of this, and economic people all recommend that their clients get along with Liang Kun.
More and more actors are in contact with Liang Kun, including Ryan Reynolds, who got engaged to Scarlett Johnson in May this year. He met Liang Kun through Scarlett and expressed his willingness to cooperate.
If he hadn't had to play Wolverine, Hugh Jackman would have wanted to change jobs to DC to play a role. He has a very good relationship with Liang Kun, and he has always liked Chinese culture and especially wanted to cooperate.
Some people even believe that the success of "The Dark Knight" is Liang Kun's success. If he hadn't played the clown so well and brought great topics, it would have been impossible for such a high box office.
In parallel worlds, the topic of this movie was brought about by the death of Heath Ledger. Liang Kun won 8 championships in the track and field this year, breaking the 800-meter world record. With the Oscar nomination, Chinese performing white people and other things, the topic of the movie is higher than that of Ledger.
In the second week, "The Dark Knight" easily won the North American box office championship again.
All the movies released in July were in a bad mood, with box office lower than expected.
"The Dave Spaceship" is full of absurd and bizarre gimmicks, full of humor and jokes, but the box office was bleak.
"Prison Life" released on the 18th was even more miserable. Fang Jimo played a supporting role in the film. He once starred in "Batman Forever" and now he has become a fat man who can only play supporting roles.
The low-cost "Love in Man and Dog", "Confused Detective", "Non-Brother", etc. are all very miserable.
The only box office that has a box office is "Superman Hancock" released on July 2.
After filming "The Lost Love", Charlize Theron starred in the movie. The Rotten Tomatoes in "Superman" is only 41% fresh, with a mediocre reputation, but the box office is pretty good.
After the release of "The Dark Knight", the box office of "Superman" was also affected. Compared with the two films, many people think that the box office success of "The Lost Love" is largely due to Liang Kun's box office appeal rather than Theron.
Chinese media have been following and reporting about Liang Kun. In addition to talking about the movies, they also talked about several of his scandals.
Teresa Palmo also had an affair with Liang Kun. There were no paparazzi in front of being at Liang Kun's residence. Later, the paparazzi found that the actress Teresa, who had worked with Liang Kun twice, often appeared in his community.
If Liang Kun hadn't returned to China after the Oscars, the two of them would have been exposed. The paparazzi didn't know when Liang Kun would come back and didn't keep staring at him where he lives.
Liang Kun’s celebrity website has an amazing number of fans. It is a well-known website in China. Fans post to discuss every day.
"Brother Kun actually created such a character, which is completely better than all the villains in Hollywood history. His clown is different from other villains. He does not pursue fame and fortune, does not have huge ambitions, and his only purpose is to do bad things. It seems that crime is his nature. He is full of wisdom, meticulous in action, unable to figure it out, and always full of confidence."
"I don't think this movie has vilified Chinese people. It's just a pity that Mr. Liu was not played by Liu Dehua. If Liangkun and Brother Hua appeared in this movie together and burned Brother Hua to death with a lot of money, it would be very interesting."
What's interesting about it? It's obviously a big deal.
"I feel that Brother Kun is the best match with Tang Qi. They acted so well when they filmed "Sorry, I Love You". I feel that they must have a good impression of each other at that time. After Brother Kun went to Hollywood to develop, the two met less often. Tang Qi filmed "Painted Skin", Brother Kun didn't visit the set. He must not find a foreign girlfriend. There are many good girls in China who like him."
"Telisa may really have something to do with Brother Kun, because she was picked up by Brother Kun. Her first movie was "Happy Death Day", the second movie was "Escape Room", and then starred in "Happy Death Day 2". She also starred in "Twilight" this year. She is so pretty and has a very good figure."
"If you only look at the image, I think Brother Kun and Son Ye-jin are more compatible. They have worked together twice. "The Eraser in My Brain" is so good. They both play brothers and sisters. Moreover, Brother Kun does not ask Chinese actresses to cooperate with him when he can make decisions and ask Sun Xian to go to Hollywood, which is questionable."
"Brother Kun looks like he is not worthy of him? He is involved in variety shows and is very good with Bale. The Joker and Batman have been in love and fighting each other for many years. The person Joker cares about the most is his enemy Batman, his lifelong enemy. I guess the two will work together in the future. Brother Kun's next movie is an action movie, and he is finally going to do what he is best at. He must be the best actor. I don't know who will play the villain."
Chapter completed!
