Chapter 452: Proclaiming emperor, the biggest suspense
The final decisive battle came, and on the island of Naros, the sublimation of the final collective feast was taking place.
All humans cannot move forward, fight each other and fight because of fear. There are two types of people who defeat fear: 1) For example, the master of ninja defeats with hatred; 2) For example, Bruce defeats with forgiveness.
The Shadow Warriors League has played the role of destruction and reconstruction for hundreds of years. They have tried to destroy Gotham City before, but were stopped by kind-hearted people such as Bruce's father. The working people they helped in turn killed the people who helped them. This time, the Shadow Warriors League returns again to destroy Gotham City, "Justice is a homomorphic revenge that will avenge you, and it is a destruction that is extremely corrupt."
“5,4,3…2,1, Detonate!”
With a loud bang, Bruce Wayne's mansion was blown into ruins. Several high-speed cameras took pictures and recorded the scene of the flying fragments.
This is the most critical scene in the whole film, and it is also the most peak battle in life after many years of experience, defeating the scarecrow and shadow warriors, pushing the movie to climax and sublimation.
The crime will eventually be punished, which is the mainstream result. Chen Tian can discuss politics and crime in the plot, but there will definitely be no deviation at the end.
This is a big scene involving hundreds of policemen, hundreds of public, dozens of journalists and videographers, and hundreds of various cars. However, for Chen Tiandu, who has been in charge of the larger collision and explosion scene of "Fast and Furious", such a big scene is not difficult.
If you take a little attention, you will find that Chen Tiandu actually uses a lot of lens language to narrate in this movie. It is very profound and very intriguing. For example, the dialogue between Bruce and Rachel at the end.
This is also the first time that Rachel revealed her heart to Bruce: "The person I love deeply, he left a few years ago, and is still in a corner of the world and has not come back. One day, Gotham City no longer needs Batman, maybe I will see him again."
What Rachel hopes is Bruce whom she loves deeply, not Batman. She cannot accept a man wearing a mask to protect Gotham City and treat ordinary people as a symbol of skin. This is not the ending of a traditional popcorn blockbuster. The heroine did not choose the hero in the end. But the focus of the whole film is no longer the heroine, and it is harmless.
After the mansion was destroyed, the old servant of many years once again talked about what Bruce's father said: "Why do we fall? Only in this way can we learn to stand up."
Everything seems to have gone through a cycle of reincarnation.
The bat light shines on the American night sky again, Christian's arrogant figure stands at the highest point of the city, and behind him is his hoarse monologue: "This is not your justice or my justice, it belongs to everyone, each other... no one needs to thank anyone, because it is all in common."
“ut!”
Everyone looked at Chen Tiandu, and Chen Tiandu glanced at the last shot a few times and waved his hand hard. "It's finished!"
Thousands of people in the crew finally ushered in the sound of Chen Tiandu's announcement of the end, and laughter began to sound on the entire set. Then it filled the audience. Another movie was completed, and another new starting point.
"Chen, I'm very happy to work with you. I hope there will be more opportunities for cooperation in the future." Christian Bale sincerely hugged Chen Tian. Chen Tian smiled and patted his shoulder and said, "Of course, we have to shoot a sequel."
There are also Michael Kane who plays Alfred, Gary Oldman who plays Jim Gordon, Morgan Freeman who plays Lucius Fox, "Ninja Master" Liam Neeson, and "Scarecrow" Cillian Murphy.
It took 3 months and 10 days to end the filming of "Batman 1 Dark Knight". The speed was much faster than planned, but the fatigue on his face and the filmmaker Charles Rowan couldn't hide it. A holiday was a must-have choice. After the final party, Chen Tiandou also left the film and took Kate back to China for a Christmas holiday first, and then he would wait until he came back.
After half a year of release, the global "Pirates of the Caribbean" has finally come to an end.
In the end, the box office in North America remained at US$425 million, the overseas box office was US$715 million, and the global box office was finally stopped at US$1.14 billion, ranking second in the global box office rankings.
In the first week of its launch, DVD sold 86 million, and its best-selling popularity ignited countless people's attention. No wonder, not only North America, but also the UK has evaluated "Pirates of the Caribbean" as the most suitable home movie DVD ranking, and its position is very high. In addition, the film's unquestionable quality and objective box office, for the majority of movie fans, the temptation of collecting such a classic is very great.
Some forecasting agencies analyzed that this movie may leverage the global commercial value of US$2.5 billion, and the matrix has obtained at least nearly US$600 million in net profit from it.
This has far exceeded the film company's impression of ordinary blockbusters. The box office is not as high as "Titanic", but the surrounding value is definitely not lower than that of the "big ship". The huge profit is enough to attract crime. In the next year, several companies tightened their belts and started filming blockbusters. As for the final result, they lost their pants or became a big dark horse, they could only ask God, he is the old man.
Good profits have also made Matrix stocks rise by nearly 125%, becoming one of the best performing stocks among the entertainment companies listed this year.
Google, the "Internet bubble product" that was not optimistic about before, also appreciated 100% at the end of the year, from the opening price of more than $80 to the stock price of $165 at the end of this year. Although it fell and rose in the middle, it has been steadily rising overall. This curve also strongly hit the eyes of Wall Street experts.
As the end of the year approaches, the last highly anticipated blockbuster has finally arrived. "Return of the King", the ending chapter of "The Lord of the Rings", was released worldwide during the Christmas period. The release scale is even better than "Pirates of the Caribbean".
As the highly anticipated finale of the series, "The Return of the King of the Rings" has lived up to expectations. Its first week of release hit a box office of US$124 million, and the next week has accumulated to US$220 million. In the first week of 2004, it once again generated US$60 million, pushing the North American box office to a height of 290 million. It still won US$16 million in the fourth week of release. It dominated the box office rankings for four weeks. It was in the limelight.
The release of this movie has also become the last suspense of the year.
Everyone will wait and see whether it can challenge the annual box office championship of "Pirates of the Caribbean". Finally, with the release in 2004, "Lord of the Rings 3: Return of the King" still lacks some fireworks. It only won $377 million in North America, but the overseas box office is higher than "Pirates of the Caribbean", which won a super box office of $742.1 million. At the same time, it also pushed the global box office of this movie to a height of $1.119.1 billion, becoming the fourth world movie to have a box office of over one billion.
This data is only $200,000 less than "Pirates of the Caribbean".
Ranked third in the global box office rankings, and the fourth place was Chen Tiandu's "The Matrix 3: Matrix Revolution".
There is no doubt that the global/North American box office champion in 2003 belonged to the 425 million US dollars of "Pirates of the Caribbean". The runner-up belonged to "Lord of the Rings 3: Return of the King", and the third place was won by the cartoon "Find Nemo".
The fourth place belongs to the matrix again, which is its big-selling action series "Fast and Furious 2". At the same time, "Captain America" produced by its Marvel company is also on the top 10 list.
In this way, the matrix has three seats in the top 10 box offices throughout the year. And they have released three movies this year. The total box office of the three movies in North America exceeded US$900 million, and this data is once again only ranked behind the top six in Hollywood, and there is no big gap in the data.
This is the Matrix's performance that has been so heroic for two consecutive years. Known for its small and exquisite films, the company has now completely become a name in Hollywood.
In the year-end list, naturally, it will not be just a monotonous box office ranking.
The American "Entertainment Weekly" took the lead in putting the title of "the number one artist of the year" on Chen Tiandu. The consoling film magazine "empire" also ranked first on his judges "Hollywood's Sexiest Star in the 20th Century". In the "Best Men of the Year" selection held by the famous men's magazine "GQ", Chen Tiandu defeated many male stars, sports stars, and well-known politicians with an absolute advantage and won the best title.
And what is most concerned about is also on the "Hollywood Power List".
The top spot of this list last year was Tom Hanks, Stephen Spielberg, Mel Gibson, Tom Cruise. This year's top spot in this list was dominated by a Chinese. But most Americans were not surprised that Chen Tian was ranked first in the power list. In the Yahoo social survey, 60% of people believed that he would be the hottest candidate on the power list in the next few years.
Even if you don’t look at anything else, just look at the amount of his property, then... the property number now exceeds $20 billion, making him the richest person in Hollywood. This amount alone is enough to kill a group of people in the United States where money is paramount.
If he remembers correctly, this is his third time winning the North American annual box office championship.
How many directors in Hollywood can do it?
The one below Chen Tiandu is not an actor, but Pixar CEO Stephen Jobs and John Lasette. These two have soared from being named to being the second place, which is also dazzling enough.
There are so many big facts this year. Who would have thought that the box office of "Christmas Elf" would surpass "Terminator 3; Awakening of the Machine"? Who would have expected that Disney Chairman and Executive President Michelle Acene would be expelled from the shareholders' meeting?
In the past year, Hollywood has changed, and some have been happy and some have been sad. Some have been in bad times, such as Michelle, and some have become rich overnight, such as Chen Tiandu.
These all provide the media with countless reasons for hype.
The reason why the two giants of Pixar soared so quickly is that in addition to the amazing box office of Finding Nemo, all the movie distributors on the earth scrambled to flirt at them after their negotiations with Disney broke down. These two Hollywood foreigners from Northern California are already the leader in the full revival of cartoons, and their success is a model of genius creativity and sincere cooperation.
Due to the long-term disagreement between Jobs and former Disney executive Michelle Acene, Pixar and Disney, the best partners in the animation field, will officially part ways in 2006.
Now, any Hollywood distribution company wants to climb this money tree with a net increase in revenue within one year. The profit split of 50% is too tempting. You should know that since its cooperation with Pixar in 1995, Disney has made huge profits of more than $1 billion from the release of Pixar cartoons.
In addition to the amazing Pirates, last year's box office rankings were also surprising. The once invincible DreamWorks' total box office of all the films in a year was less than that of a "Fake God". Despite this, the lean camel is bigger than a horse, and Spielberg, who ranked first last year, still ranks third this year.
The end of the year also means the arrival of awards season.
The first one to come was always the Golden Globe Award. When reporters across the United States saw this nomination list, they suddenly found a point of excitement.
Chapter completed!
