Rebirth In Hollywood

The production cost of "Iron Man" is 140 million US dollars, and the promotion cost is 80 million US dollars. Although some of the costs have been recovered through advertising sponsorship and other aspects, surprise has undoubtedly invested a huge amount in this film. , if it can only be praised and the market reflects mediocre, it can only be described as a tragedy.

There is always only one standard for measuring commercial films, and that is commercial revenue.

Fortunately, the one-day North American box office on Friday reassured Marvel and Disney. "Iron Man" earned $37.23 million at the box office in just one day in 4,150 theaters, which basically indicates the first week of the film. of the North American box office could sprint towards the $100 million mark.

Disney, on the other hand, has also stepped up its promotion of the film, and even Ryan went into battle himself, singing praises to "Iron Man" to dozens of reporters when he attended a charity gala on Friday night.

"Perhaps in the eyes of some people, this is just an assembly line commercial product that is used to 'Hollywood-style'."

Like other commercial films, "Iron Man" has been attacked by those veteran film critics, "But in my eyes, this is a video art that perfectly combines the beauty of the human body with mechanical principles, and the unique movement of Iron Man is not simple. If it can be photographed alone, shouldn’t the realm of action art like this be known and felt by people?”

Everything, like the normal law of commercial movies, on Saturday, the North American box office of "Iron Man" rose to 40.35 million US dollars, reaching the peak of the single-day box office, and then fell to 28.03 million US dollars the following day.

In the first three days of the first weekend, the North American box office of "Iron Man" successfully exceeded 100 million US dollars, reaching 105.61 million US dollars, which can be said to be a good start for the summer season of the entire North American film market.

In the following week, "Iron Man" did not meet an opponent of the same magnitude. In just ten days, the North American box office of the film exceeded 185 million US dollars, becoming the hottest film so far this year. .

Even though the overseas release has just begun, it is no exaggeration to say that "Iron Man" has already achieved success.

As an important part of the entire series, the success of "Iron Man" has not only brought about monetary benefits, but also played a role in warming up the "Avengers", further paving the way, and at the same time once again strengthening It shows the confidence of Marvel in its superheroes.

Marvel has dozens of just very popular comic book characters, and the continuous success naturally motivates them to want to bring more superheroes to the big screen.

However, after Ryan communicated with Marvel's high-level executives, the two sides quickly reached an agreement that before the release of "Avengers\

,"There won't be too much action for the time being in terms of surprise.

Superhero movies require huge investment, and if Walt Disney doesn't inject enough money, Marvel doesn't have enough budget to support too many film preparation plans.

Today's Surprise, despite its high degree of freedom, is a wholly owned subsidiary of Walt Disney.

It was not until mid-May that "Iron Man" met a real opponent in North America. The thriller and suspense film "The Da Vinci Code" directed by Ron Howard and starring Tom Hanks and Riles Howard was officially launched. North American release.

Because the novel has accumulated a large number of fans, it has been ranked the champion of the North American bestseller list for more than ten consecutive weeks, as well as the huge controversy in the content, which has attracted the attention of countless audiences, and was even hailed as the most anticipated book in 2006. one of the videos.

Even though the audience reputation of the movie version of "The Da Vinci Code" was a mess, it performed well in terms of business. The box office of more than 77 million US dollars in the first week completely surpassed the box office figure of 32.83 million US dollars in the third weekend of "Iron Man". It was also the second-highest North American weekly box office of the year.

Facts have proved that those highly controversial religious films always attract the attention of the audience.

Despite the mixed reviews, the film was able to have a big box office start in North America, as there are countless curious eyes around the world waiting to see what a film adaptation of the 40 million-read novel would look like .

In the same week, the North American box office of "Iron Man" exceeded 200 million US dollars, reaching 234.2 million yuan, and the film's landing in several overseas box office markets also reached ten days, which is also the most popular during this time in the local area. , which easily surpassed $430 million at the global box office.

Not to mention the soaring global box office, the three versions of Iron Man alone have sold nearly 3 million sets in the English-speaking area, generating more than 9 million US dollars in profits for Walt Disney, although DVD and TV rights are far less By the time it was profitable, more than $20 million had been sold for peripheral products such as toys, graphics and comics alone.

This figure can be doubled when other world regions such as the Far East and Continental Europe, which are negotiating authorizations, are included.

However, these are completely unimportant to Ryan. After sending Charlize to Germany, he rushed to Lanai, Hawaii, waiting for the feeling of being a father for the first time in his past and present life.

A whole team of the nation's top medical team and the equipment they need was transported to the island by yacht early on, ready to be called at any time.

In the silent corridor, Ryan walked around anxiously. The eyes of Tyler and Lily Mo Xin, who were sitting in the chairs, also swayed back and forth with him. This situation lasted for almost half an hour.

"Hey, hey, hey..." Tyler finally couldn't help it, jumped out of the chair, pointed to the door of the delivery room and said, "Ryan, if you're in a hurry, you can go in."

"Honey." Ryan had to stop, "I was kicked out by Nicole half an hour ago."

He didn't want to be inside, but after Nicole's eyes widened, he had to come out. Now, even if the old guy of God's words is not as important as Nicole's opinion.

"Poor Ryan." Tyler shook his head.

"godfather……"

Suddenly, a small hand tugged at Ryan, but it was the little kid Lily Mo Xin, who seemed more sensible than Taylor, "Don't worry."

"Okay, Lily." Ryan carried her back to the chair again, "I'm not worried."

Ryan also understood that apart from waiting, he couldn't help himself much, so he simply sat next to Lily and pointed to Tyler's side, this guy who has grown to five feet eleven inches, be good sat down.

The delivery room and even this floor have been rebuilt in the past six months. The sound insulation effect is very good. Except for the vaguely familiar cries of pain, Ryan basically can't hear any other sounds, and he can't help but feel a little anxious.

At this moment, it would be false to say that he was not worried, even if he did not believe in any religion at all, he secretly crossed a few times on his chest.

Father, a feeling that I have never experienced and cannot express.

If Nicole and the others are safe, tomorrow I will sincerely convert to Catholicism...

Just when Ryan was thinking about this, the door of the delivery room suddenly opened, and a few female nurses pushed Nicole, who was lying on the hospital bed, and came out. Ryan immediately went up to meet Nicole and reached out to hold Nicole's hand. .

"Darling..." He followed closely beside the pushing hospital bed, and his slender fingers stroked Nicole's sweaty cheeks lightly, "You've worked hard."

"Daughter..." Nicole said softly.

"She..." Ryan's eyes swept over all the nurses, "Where is she?"

"Mr Jenkins."

The woman who was probably the head nurse said, "The child is very healthy, the doctor is doing some basic care, and it will be delivered soon."

Although his knowledge of this aspect was almost zero, Ryan nodded, held Nicole's hand tightly, and walked into the long-prepared ward at the end of the corridor.

"Godmother..."

"Nicole..."

The nurse just put Nicole away, and two girls, one big and one small, came over.

"Don't worry." Nicole nodded slightly to them and Ryan, "I'm fine, and I'm happy too."

Gently kissing the back of Nicole's hand, Ryan held that hand between his two hands, and in a praying posture, read a few words that no one could hear clearly.

"What are you talking about?" Nicole asked curiously.

"Prayers for you and our daughter."

Just as he was speaking, the door behind opened, and a middle-aged woman walked in with a baby in her arms, "She is very healthy, congratulations, Mr. Jenkins, Miss Kidman."

"thanks!"

Nodding, Ryan made a gesture to Elsa on the other side and handed over the follow-up arrangements of the medical team to the housekeeper.

The little guy was placed next to Nicole's bed and seemed to be sleeping soundly. Ryan walked over and was glared at just as he was about to reach out, "Can you hold a child? Have you practiced before?"

"This?" Ryan couldn't help scratching his head, "Then I can see my daughter, right?"

"She's so small." Lily Mo Xin lowered her voice, "Sister, she's really small."

"Stupid Lily." Tyler nodded her head. "When I first saw you, you weren't much older than her."

"You two." Nicole's eyes turned to that side and made a gesture to shut up, "Quiet!"

The newly born little guy can't be said to be more beautiful now, and he can't tell whether he is more like his father or more like his mother. With Nicole here, Ryan just leaned in and watched it for a while, and he came from the Pacific Ocean. When the other side came to this world, after all, he still left a lot of things, and now he even has a daughter.

Father, now he can fully appreciate the feeling, lying next to Nicole is his own angel...

The room was quiet, and all eyes were on the newborn, until Tyler broke the silence.

"That..." Tyler stuck out his tongue mischievously, "We can't keep calling her 'her', can we?"

"Of course." Ryan couldn't help raising his head, "I've already thought of a name." r1152 ()
