Chapter 412 Save the sky, save the earth, save the air
On Monday morning, in a reception room at Relativity Entertainment, Liam Neeson looked through a newspaper and waited patiently for Ronan to come.
When he first joined the company, he saw it specifically, and Relativity Entertainment seemed to be holding a regular meeting.
Liam Neeson is not in a hurry, and the newspaper has a lot of news that he cares about, such as "Hurricane Rescue", which was just released last weekend.
This is the first time he has completed so many very tricky and skillful action scenes.
It is completely different from the soft dance of Kui Gangjin holding a glow stick.
"Hurricane Rescue" topped the North American box office list!"
Just seeing this topic, Liam Neeson was in a good mood. Who doesn’t want the film he starred in to win the box office championship?
Besides, as a father in real life, he really likes this movie.
Human traffickers are everywhere, but not everyone has Agent Dad.
"The overall box office trend in North America last week was relatively stable, with the total value of the box office list rising from nearly $130 million last weekend to $134.6 million this week. The performance of the two new films "Hurricane Rescue" and "Manhattan Maid" which were launched on a large scale has their own advantages. The action movie "Hurricane Rescue" produced by Shahai Entertainment and released by Embassy Pictures won the championship crown."
"This is also the fourth North American box office championship this year for the films released by Embassy Pictures. In 2002, Shahai Entertainment, a subsidiary of Relativity Entertainment, all four films released by Embassy Pictures won the North American box office championship on the weekend of its release!
"Although the films produced by Relativity Entertainment are limited, their achievements are eye-catching!"
Liam Neeson recalled that except for "Hurricane Rescue", which just won the box office championship, the first three movies seemed to be "Resident Evil", "Legend of the Night" and "Reaper 2".
This relativity entertainment is obviously a high-quality route.
He had roughly read a statistics before. Although he didn't remember it very clearly, the global box office of "Resident Evil" and "Legend of the Night" seemed to be around 160 million US dollars, and the global box office of "Reaper 2" has gradually approached $200 million.
With operations outside the theater, the total revenue of these three films will not be less than the number of global box office combined.
Liam Neeson recalled that among the second-tier Hollywood companies this year, Miramax is definitely not as good as Relativity Entertainment. Tingfeng Entertainment itself adopts a strategy of casting a wide net, and its profitability is actually average.
In other words, Xinyi Film and DreamWorks can rank ahead of Relativity Entertainment.
New Line Film will release "Two Towers Shock" next month. It is speculated that "Two Towers Shock" caused a sensation last year that "Two Towers Shock" will inevitably have a big box office hit.
Needless to say, DreamWorks is the absolute leader in Hollywood's second-tier second-tier, except for the lack of distribution channels other than North America.
In the past two years, it has even been able to vaguely threaten the tail of front-line companies.
But in comparison, Relativity Entertainment was established the latest, and Ronan Anderson had the least qualifications compared to Spielberg and Robert Shay. It is rare to be able to do this company to this extent.
Anyway, he asked himself that he didn't have this ability.
Liam Neeson continued to read the newspaper.
"Action themes have always been a popular type of movies. To say that the most popular action movies in the past two years, "Spy Shadows" initiated by Ronan Anderson must be included. This film not only has fierce box office, but also has portable DVD shooting, rapid joint skills fighting, and no drag-out nonsense and other personalities are all talked about by movie fans."
"After "The Spy", this fierce action element gradually began to affect other action movies, resulting in the decline of external kung fu routines in Hollywood. The "Hurricane Rescue" produced by Ronan Anderson has inherited this excellent factor thanks to the production of the same production company. The fight scenes from fist to flesh are dazzling, which is dazzling."
"Strictly speaking, this "Hurricane Rescue" should be said to be a follower of "Spy Shadows". But one thing to note is that this follower has no derogatory meaning. On the contrary, this trend follows very individually."
"Liam Neeson's large number of action scenes in the film have conquered many fans, and many viewers who have watched it have given quite high praise to the action scenes of "Hurricane Rescue".
"Driven by 3,120 cinemas, "Hurricane Rescue" won $43.38 million in three days on the weekend, easily reaching the North American box office rankings. The second place was occupied by "Die Again" in the second week of release, with a box office amount of $29.1 million. "Manhattan Maid" also started this week received $17.8 million, ranking third..."
Liam Neeson focused on the reputation of the eye video.
"In terms of evaluation, 11,458 users of Imdb scored 8.3 points, and 2,076 fans at the cinema score were a comprehensive score of A, but the reviewers had a bad reputation. The index designated by Rotten Tomatoes by collecting film reviews is rotten, and the freshness is only 58%.
Seeing the end, Liam Neeson scratched his head a little, but after thinking about it, he felt relieved.
This kind of film is not made for film critics, so it doesn’t matter if they give good or bad reviews.
As a veteran actor, Liam Neeson knows very well that Hollywood has only one internal standard for measuring this film and its creators - business achievements.
"Hurricane Rescue" was a great success, and his value, status and fame will inevitably skyrocket.
Liam Neeson finished reading the newspaper and waited for a while, and Ronan knocked in with a file bag.
"I've been waiting for a long time, Liam." Ronan shook hands with him and said, "Today, there are a lot of business operations in the company."
Liam Neeson smiled and said, "It's okay, I came a little early."
The two sides agreed to meet at 10 o'clock, and he came over before 9:30.
Ronan was in a pretty good mood and said, "Our film has been a huge success and the sequel will be on the agenda soon."
Liam Neeson knew the various benefits that the series of movies could bring to him, and said directly: "I have no objection to continuing to play Brian. Ronan, just ask me to talk directly with my agent, and I will communicate with the agent when I look back."
"Yes." Ronan also seemed very happy: "Liam, I hope we can continue to cooperate for a long time in the future."
Behind every big star or director in Hollywood, there is a long-term film company. Liam Neeson is a Hollywood veteran, so he naturally knows this and said, "I also hope to cooperate for a long time."
Ronan smiled and said, "Liam, there are two sequels after "Hurricane Rescue", which have a lot of action scenes. I hope you can keep exercising to deal with action scenes."
"No problem," Liam Neeson said.
Ronan handed the file bag to Liam Neeson: "There is a character here. You can take a look when you go back. If you are interested, we can work together again outside the Hurricane Rescue series."
Liam Neeson was a little confused: "This is..."
Ronan said directly: "I have basically agreed with Warner Bros. and the DC Comics, and the Batman movie will be restarted soon. The information I gave you is about Bruce Wayne's teacher, Ninja Master."
The negotiations for the "Batman" movie have reached the end stage. Ronan from Christopher Nolan also said hello, and he is the first producer and has the final decision-making power of the actor. The role of Ninja Master is of course Liam Neeson.
Liam Neeson said: "I'll read the information first, and then talk about it in detail."
It is impossible for him to not even understand the role or the project, so he should have the next role.
Ronan would not force himself, and said, "Yes."
Regarding other rescue series, Ronan has not mentioned it for the time being, and it is too early to say this.
Of course, as long as the sequel after "Hurricane Rescue" goes well, Liam Neeson will definitely push the way to the God of Rescue.
Save your wife, save your daughter, save your heaven, save your earth and save your air.
This will not only allow Liam Neeson to realize his own value, but also make profits from the Relativity Entertainment.
Thinking of Liam Neeson in his previous life, he trained Batman, trained Jedi, worked as Zeus, fought with wolves with bare hands, and became the lion king Aslan...
The climax of life is to spend all your life saving people.
Liam Neeson's rescue universe has begun with "Hurricane Rescue".
The film's trend in North America is relatively stable, but it still suffered a certain impact on the second weekend. After all, the "Harry Potter" series produced and released by Warner Bros. is in full swing. Even though the response of "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" is far less than that of the previous "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone", it still has a certain impact on other films screened at the same time.
"Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" landed in the box office with $83.4 million, and "Hurricane Rescue" fell to second place, but the next weekend box office of $24.2 million is enough to ensure that the film continues to be screened at a stable trend.
Adding to the previous four working days of gain, Hurricane Rescue's North American box office reached $81.24 million.
The film has a stable trend and a good reputation among its audiences. The total box office in North America is highly promising to hit US$200 million.
In addition to North America, "Hurricane Rescue" was released in 30 other countries and regions outside North America this weekend. The UK received US$11.32 million in the first weekend, France earned US$9.81 million, and Germany also received US$8.89 million...
Overseas first weekend, the film's overseas box office reached 38.71 million US dollars.
In the next month, "Hurricane Rescue" will be released in more than 80 countries and regions around the world.
Its global box office is estimated to be above US$300 million.
After reading market data statistics from all aspects, Ronan is basically relieved about "Hurricane Rescue". Even if there is a plunge later, the film can make a profit by relying on box office.
"Hurricane Rescue" can be said to be a movie where many elements are successfully merged.
For example, action design combines many essences of kung fu, fighting, Muay Thai and boxing.
