Vol 3 Chapter 737: He's here again, a headache!
Time is fleeting.
In a blink of an eye, the time has come to the end of September, and the animated film "Kung Fu Panda" has been released in North America for 20 days.
So far, the film has already harvested more than 231 million U.S. dollars in the box office in North America alone. With the long-term screening of the film in most theaters, it is expected that it will continue to harvest tens of millions of U.S. dollars in the next few months. box office.
US$250 million North American box office...
It is definitely not its final North American box office location.
Overseas, "Kung Fu Panda" has also shown an invincible trend, especially in the UK and France. In just one week of release, it has collected 20 million pounds and euros, and the results are gratifying.
Of course, it's more fierce in Asia!
Although the producer of "Kung Fu Panda" animation film is Water World Animation Company, the story background of the film, including content, screen features, etc., dare not say that it is the original and pure ancient heavenly style, but it can't stand to restore it The degree is quite high.
As a result, as Asian countries and regions within the cultural radiation of the ancient celestial dynasty, wherever "Kung Fu Panda" went, it almost showed a tendency of crushing, putting all the movies underfoot.
Good news is always here~
No, the special effects work of the movie "The Day After Tomorrow" was finally successfully completed after six months of rendering, with more than 200 staff and thousands of computers.
After reading the final special effects results submitted by Weta Digital, Zhu Ke immediately spoke highly of it.
"It is said that Industrial Light and Magic is the world's best special effects company, but now it seems that our Weta Digital is not bad, or that the special effects level of "The Day After Acquired", the best special effects of next year's Oscar, who do I see? Can you win us?" Zhuke was extremely satisfied.
Of course, the money has not been spent less.
Even if Zhu Ke is currently the largest shareholder of Weta Digital, it is still the same sentence, the company is a company, an individual is an individual, and the money that should be paid will not be less than a cent.
"The $40 million special effect, when it is shown on the screen, is absolutely a shocking performance!" said director Roland Emmerich.
The content of the movie "The Day After Tomorrow" is actually very simple, even called Xiaobai, but it's just a qualified story.
However, the special effects presented by the movie are absolutely epic performance.
Waves, glaciers, meteorites, storms, building collapses, cities icy, huge ships destroyed, cities full of human beings frozen into ice sculptures...
Special effects burst!
Do not!
More precisely, the special effects it presents-scary!
"Mr. Wald, has the specific release date of the "The Day After Day" movie been completely set?" Director Roland Emmerich asked.
"not yet."
Zhu Ke blurted out: "The rough cut and secondary editing of the film have just been completed, and it is expected to be completed in early October. By then, Wald Pictures, Wald Distribution, and North American theaters will discuss the release."
"However, I expect... it should be released during the Christmas season in December."
The voice fell.
Emmerich was surprised: "I heard that a movie called "Fast and Furious" that your company postponed last year seems to be released on the Christmas schedule this year, right?"
"Hahaha, don't worry, the release dates of the two films will be staggered by at least two weeks. I can assure you of this."
"That's it, that's good."
Zhuke gave him a reassurance, and he also knew his worries and worries.
At this moment, director Roland Emmerich also breathed a sigh of relief.
A series of blockbuster movies such as "Godzilla" and "Independence Day" are all representative works of Emmerich. He is also worthy of the title of Hollywood's top commercial director. After all, he will film "Ten Thousand Years Before History", "2012", "Moon Falling" and other blockbuster films.
But... not now!
In 2000, the film "Patriot" directed by Emmerich, but the result of a terrible loss, caused him to not get over now.
Once "The Day After Acquired" loses again, then he will definitely have a hard time.
Not to mention being completely abandoned by the producer, it will take five or six years to get over.
You say, can he be careless and cautious? !
.......
at the same time.
MGM Pictures.
Robin Campbell, the director of the distribution department, frowned deeply: "Zuke and director Emmerich are now in the Los Angeles branch of Weta Digital. That is to say, the special effects of the movie "The Day After Tomorrow" have been completed. ?"
"It should be!" the assistant said solemnly.
This almost affirmative answer made Campbell's brow furrow deeper and deeper, and the frown on his forehead might be able to pinch people to death.
"Damn it!"
"Zuke Wald is really not a worry-free person, it is a headache."
"You said that the movie "Kung Fu Panda" produced by his Water World Animation is still in theaters. It stands to reason that he should stop and stop, but the result?"
"The three films "Reaper is Coming 2", "Furious Attacking the Heart", and "Fast and Furious" have been announced to be released in the second half of this year. Is this not enough?!
"Another "The Day After Tomorrow" has appeared!"
Campbell gritted his teeth, wishing to spit blood in front of Zhuke.
The assistant said cautiously: "I'm not sure if it will be released this year."
"fart!"
Campbell looked at his assistant angrily, and cursed: "I don't know him yet? He is an unforgiving fellow. Look, the movie "The Day After Tomorrow" will definitely be released this year, and there is a high probability that it will be released this year. Christmas schedule!"
assistant:"......"
As the director of MGM's distribution department, why does Campbell care so much about whether "The Day After Tomorrow" will be released on the Christmas schedule?
Because there is competition in it!
The movie "007: Die Another Day" has been scheduled for release this Christmas!
.......
"Hollywood has no secrets, at least not strong."
This is not~
The news of Zhuke and Emmerich’s arrival at Weta Digital, now that MGM Pictures was able to learn about the news, other Hollywood industry colleagues naturally learned about it smoothly.
Especially those film and television companies that have movies released in the next few months are all paying attention to the trend of "The Day After Tomorrow".
Can you not worry?
Don’t you see that "Kung Fu Panda" is now constantly conquering cities? !
Warner Bros. Pictures. UU reading www. uukanshu.com
"Forget it, "The Day After Day" is "The Day After Day", at least not the second part of "Harry Potter."
The people at Warner were helpless.
"Harry Potter 2" was originally scheduled to be released on Christmas this year, but due to some special reasons and the extension of the shooting cycle, the film was postponed, otherwise the Hollywood counterparts would absolutely cry.
but!
Can "The Day After Tomorrow" be underestimated?
"Guys, don't be too careless, don't forget that the director is Emmerich, and that fellow Zhuke Wald is the producer himself!"
CEO Barry Meyer couldn't help but remind.
To the present day, no one in Hollywood dare to underestimate Zhu Ke's production ability!
