rising director

For fans of "Firefly", with the foreshadowing of the TV series, "Out of Serenity" can be regarded as a good movie, and the score of mdb is also good, as high as 8.0 points.But for ordinary viewers, it is not very attractive. After all, "Firefly" was canceled after only one season because of its low ratings.

Universal has created "Firefly", a classic of the niche TV series, but it has lost everything commercially.Of course, it was the crazy cries of movie fans that prompted Universal to start filming this movie version.A short-term commercial loss is not necessarily a loss for Universal compared to gaining a group of die-hard fans.

In eighth place at the weekend box office is "Love Waiter" with $600 million, and in seventh place is "Corpse Bride" by eccentric director and father of dark superheroes Tim Burton, which is released in its fourth week, and then next. $650 million.The No. 750 is "The Gospel" with $870 million, the fifth place is "Fortune and Two Hearts" with $1000 million, and the fourth place is "Stealing High Heels" with $[-] million.

The third place is "Empty Crisis" in the second week of its release, which won 1070 million US dollars.

And the second place is "Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Man-Rabbit", which has the largest release scale. At 1260 million US dollars, it ranked second.

And block it.It is "Source Code", a low-budget sci-fi film directed by Wan Xiaohu, which topped the box office list with a weekly gross of 1740 million US dollars.

"Sci-fi films lead the film market in October. "Source Code" directed by Wan Xiaohu unexpectedly beat "Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Rabbit" to top the box office. This is Wan Xiaohu's second week in North America Championship title!"

"Wanted" swept the world that year, but it's a pity.In the second week in North America, he was counterattacked by "Meet the Father-in-Law 2", and Wan Xiaohu was swiped before he was addicted to the championship.Now with "Source Code", I am pleasantly surprised to taste another champion.

"Rave reviews, another victory for Chinese films, Wan Xiaohu proves that he is the best commercial director in China, and another master of science fiction!"

"This sci-fi thriller wasn't particularly compelling at first. But it's so good, it's mind-boggling."

""Source Code" will be a classic cul movie. Like "Butterfly Effect", the box office may not be too outstanding, but it is enough to be famous in film history." A cul movie is a cult movie. Generally speaking, it is difficult for such films to achieve large-scale box office success.

Rotten Tomatoes website. "Source Code" received a 90% freshness rating with 177 votes.Only 20 votes against it can be said to have conquered most of the film critics.

Cnemscore, a market research company located in Las Vegas, mainly surveys audience ratings after watching movies, and its report results are used as a basis for predicting box office revenue.The highest rating scale is + and the lowest is f.

"Source Code" got a very good grade.

The user rating on mdb is 8.4 points, the rating of classic science fiction movies.Obviously, it also conquered the audience who watched the movie in the first week.

"I came here in the name of Wan Xiaohu. I like "Butterfly Effect" very much. I heard that he made another science fiction film, so I came naturally. After watching the movie, I just want to say. This ticket It is worth buying, "Source Code" did not disappoint me, it is very cool and very good!" After watching the movie, a viewer was stopped by a reporter for an interview and praised loudly.

"Movie Online" gave the lowest score of 40 points: "This should be regarded as a classic short film rather than a movie. A 10-minute movie is too lengthy."

Everything shows that this time Wan Xiaohu made another classic movie.

Australia's opening score was 172 million US dollars, France's opening score was 214 million US dollars, Italy's 125 million US dollars, Japan's 1 million yen, and Russia's 4 million. US dollars, 270 movie viewers in South Korea, 45 million Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong, 354 million US dollars in the United Kingdom...

Some regions topped the championship, and some regions ranked second or third. In any case, it is a perfect result for a small-budget movie.

In the mainland, in the three days of July, August, and September, they won 7 million yuan, which was not as expected. Compared with the opening results of "Wanted Warrant" and "The Wind", it is still far behind in the film history of the mainland. is an outstanding achievement.

"We are very honored to announce the Mission Hills 2005 Hurun Report."

On October 10th, Hurun, a British guy, once again released the list of the richest people in mainland China as a spare time item for the public. The 12 top rich people have a total worth of 400 billion yuan, accounting for 6000% of mainland China's GDP last year, and last year's richest man, Huang Guangyu, was once again the richest man with 6 billion yuan.

"In this year's list, we are very pleased to see the emergence of a group of dark horses. There are two biggest dark horses, both from China's largest private entertainment company, Dandelion Film Company. Director Wan Xiaohu ranked 27th, and general manager Su Ya ranked 44th with RMB 25 billion.”

Hurun's "The Rich" magazine reported: "Last year, neither of them made the list because we didn't know much about the dandelion family. Entertainment companies. According to entertainment industry insiders, the Dandelion family includes entertainment companies such as Dandelion, Flashing Star, Tangren and Adventure Island.”

"There are three youngest billionaires this year, 23-year-old Su Ya, 24-year-old Li Zhaohui and his family, and 25-year-old Wan Xiaohu. Su Ya and Wan Xiaohu are self-made rich people in the entertainment industry. They are the richest people in the entertainment media industry. This is the first time A non-traditional TV business enterprise rich in the media industry has entered the [-] rich list."

"Thanks to the global box office hit of "Wanted" which sold 4.52 million US dollars, leveraged peripheral product development worth about 5.4 million US dollars, and made the dandelion company that never made the list become a rich producer..."

At the moment when "Source Code" started to be released, Hoogewerf Hoogewerf came out to grab the limelight.

As a British who single-handedly broke into the circle of national wealth figures, since 1999, a national rich list has been released every October, although sometimes the calculated wealth is very biased.But it does not prevent this list from becoming the object of public discussion after dinner.

But as the saying goes, people are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong. Sometimes when they are on the [-] Rich List, they will become the object of everyone's attention, and then something will kill them, so this list is also called the Hurun Killing Pig List.It means that the pigs will be slaughtered when they are fattened.

Most of the richest people on the list would shake their heads and say that the list is too exaggerated, or keep silent.

Wan Xiaohu and Su Ya just chose to remain silent, neither accepting interviews nor acknowledging the data.

Don't go over and tell the assistant to ignore the reporter who asked for an interview.

"Dandelion is a multi-shareholder limited liability company. The shares are relatively scattered. The wealth on the [-] Rich List actually includes a lot of wealth that does not belong to Wandao and Mr. Su. In addition, although "Wanted" has a high box office, copyright sales and The peripheral development is good. But Dandelion has not yet completed its own global distribution network, and needs to rely on other people's distribution channels. The profit is divided, and the real wealth is much less than that on the list."

This obviously sophistry statement has been recognized by many reporters.

Now Tiger Ruiya International Investment Company has not been exposed, and Dandelion is not a listed company. All internal shares can only be guessed by the outside world without knowing the details.Like a lot of people in the industry.I know that Sasha Entertainment is related to Wan Xiaohu, but I don't know the specific connection, because everything is done through an agent.

In fact, Su Ya's net worth is not low. After all, Tiger Ruiya International Investment Company's industries are all companies with great potential, and Shanda Network's share of the account is several hundred million dollars.And Wan Xiaohu's personal worth is even more against the sky. As a director, even though he is making movies for his own company, the director's salary is still decent.

For a "Wanted", Wan Xiaohu's salary is no less than 6000 million US dollars.Because the calculation of his own salary is based on the standard of top directors, that is, 20% of the revenue share of a movie, including all development profits of box office, audio-visual products, and peripheral products.

What is even more exaggerated is Wan Xiaohu's personal financial investment.All of them have unlimited potential. Half of FceBook's shares, even with the development of the website and the continuous dilution of financing, the final shares will be sky-high...

Regardless of whether others believe that Wan Xiaohu is worth 27 billion or not, Wan Xiaohu has become a representative of a grassroots struggle to become a rich man.

On Time Post Bar, Wan Xiaohu's fans almost went crazy.

[Love is a fish] said: "The boss is the boss, if you don't see each other for a few days, you will become a rich man."

[Michiyo] Hehe: ""Saw" is $1.03 million worldwide, "Wanted" is $4.52 million worldwide, and "Saw 2" is $1.48 million worldwide. It's not a thing for the boss to be rich, and the media is too rare .”

[Apple Your Watermelon] Envy, envy and hatred: "Don't you know that the boss's private jet is a Gulfstream G5, this is worth more than 27 million, [-] billion is worth nothing to the boss."

[Wu Tong at the Gate] asked suspiciously: "Is Wan Xiaohu the richest director in the world?"

[Plug on the Pegasus] explained: "Not really, the rich directors are all in Hollywood. James Cameron got 98 million US dollars for the filming of "Titanic" in 1.15, and he also created a special effects giant company "Digital Field" ', worth no less than $7 million."

"Peter Jackson, filmed the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, with a global box office of nearly 30 billion US dollars. He personally earned no less than 3 million US dollars. He also opened his own special effects company 'Weta Digital'. His net worth is conservatively estimated to be no less than 5 billion US dollars. Less than $[-] million."

"Both of these two are richer than the boss, but they are not really rich. After all, the business is not very good, and they still rely on the box office to make up the majority. The real rich are the boss, two people."

"One is Steven Spielberg, who holds the rights to the two blockbuster movies "Jurassic Park" and "Raiders of the Lost Ark", and is also the Big Three of DreamWorks. His net worth is definitely no less than 30 billion US dollars."

"The other is George Lucas, the unique blockbuster series in the history of "Star Wars". It also owns the No.1 special effects giant 'Industrial Light and Magic', and its worth is definitely beyond 40 billion US dollars."

[Baiyun Qingfeng] praised: "As a director, if you can do this, what else can you say? I hope that the boss will surpass George Lucas as soon as possible and become the richest director!"

The topic of wealth was just a commotion after dinner, and the discussion did not last long.But obviously, because Wan Xiaohu entered the Hurun Report, the public paid more attention to him, and the box office of "Source Code" also increased a lot.

For a self-made director who has made money by making movies non-stop.The audience should not be too interested.
