With the arrival of the first working day, the promotion of "X-Men" has once again increased, and the crew members have gone to major cities in North America to promote it, attracting the attention of a large number of readers and fans of the original comics.

At the same time, the overseas distribution of the film is also proceeding in an orderly manner. It is expected that this Friday it will be released in many countries in Europe and South America, followed by Asia, the Middle East and other countries and regions.

In addition, the theater company did not reduce the screening scale and film scheduling rate of "X-Men" because of the arrival of the working day, but still chose to continue to increase.

These are the keys to a film's box office stability.

However, "X-Men" is only a commercial popcorn movie, and the box office trend cannot be the same as "Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring".

On Monday, the first working day, the film grossed US$7.86 million in a single day, a drop of 56%.

Although not as good as "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring", it is still a very good box office result.

In the next few days, the box office continued to decline, with a box office of US$7.01 million on Tuesday, US$6.33 million on Wednesday, and US$5.86 million on Thursday.

After four working days, it earned a total of 27.06 million US dollars at the box office.

So far, the cumulative North American box office of "X-Men" has reached 96.09 million US dollars.

If there is no accident, the film will definitely break through the $100 million mark within three days of the next weekend.

Faced with the box office hit of "X-Men", the voices criticizing Ryan from the media disappeared completely as the film hit the theaters.

There are only some film critics who are full of sour tone, thinking that Ryan only has commercial value in his eyes and has no artistic value.

Quite the opposite.

In the eyes of young people and the vast majority of Hollywood practitioners, box office figures can often represent everything.

Ryan ignored the change in the media. He has returned to Sydney, Australia, and devoted himself to the filming of "Spider-Man".

The success of "X-Men" is only the beginning.

"Spider-Man" is the key to completely detonating Marvel superhero movies.

The income from the original "Spider-Man" can completely offset the cost of acquiring the copyrights of Marvel Comics and a group of superheroes.

Even, it can offset all the initial investment of Orion Films in the entire superhero film plan.

On a street in Sydney, three high-definition cameras were placed at three different angles, aiming at Tobey Maguire in the car and Cliff Robertson playing Uncle Spiderman.

Ryan himself operated one of the cameras for close-ups of Cliff-Robertson and the other for close-ups of Tobey Maguire.

The remaining main camera is responsible for shooting the entire picture.

The scene to be filmed is very important in the whole film.

This is the last conversation Spider-Man Peter Parker had with his uncle Ben Parker.

Here Ben Parker spoke to Spider-Man. The classic line "With great power comes great responsibility", which changed Peter Parker's life and gave birth to a superhero Spider-Man.

"Your transformation in the past few years..."

Cliff Robertson looked at Toby Maguire and said in a teaching tone: "It will determine what kind of person you will be in the future. Be careful not to go astray."

"The person who fought with you, maybe it was his fault, he deserved it, but you hit him..."

"It doesn't mean you are right and have the right to beat him."

"Remember: with great power comes great responsibility." Cliff-Robertson said very seriously.

Facing Cliff Robertson's teachings, Toby Maguire didn't take it seriously at all, and said perfunctorily: "Are you afraid that I will become a hooligan? Don't worry about it!"

"Things are not as you imagined, I will solve it by myself, don't always lecture me."

At this point in the filming, Ryan has not stopped, allowing Tobey Maguire and Cliff Robertson to play.

"I don't want to preach to you, and I'm not your father."

Before Cliff-Robertson could finish speaking, Tobey Maguire interrupted him, with a slightly impatient tone, "Then don't pretend to be my father to teach!"

Cliff-Robertson nodded with a dejected expression, "Yes, you are right."

Until the conversation between the two ends.

"stop!"

Ryan yelled, stood up and said to Toby-Maguire: "You were not emotional enough just now, I need you to react more strongly."

"Also, Cliff, your last expression was not handled well enough."

"Take a five-minute break and we'll do it again."

This is already the third shoot.

For a commercial film, it could have passed long ago.

However, Ryan felt that it was not perfect enough, and he needed a classic shot.

After a five-minute break, the crew started filming again.

Outside the shooting scene, a bearded man looked at the filming scene of the crew and said in surprise: "With great power, comes great responsibility?"

"This is the turning point for Spider-Man in the script!" he asked, turning to Sofia Coppola.

"This is just the beginning." Sofia Coppola looked away and said, "Next, Cliff Robertson will be shot dead by a robber."

"A heist who's just been let go by Spider-Man," she adds, "It's a great plot."

She will try to direct this scene.

"It looks like Ryan is going to make another classic film." Francis Coppola shrugged.

He never doubted Ryan's directing level.

Even, I appreciate it very much.

"Actually, you don't have to come here in person."

Looking at her father in front of her, Sofia Coppola said helplessly, "I will personally greet you about Roman."

Roman - Coppola, Sophia - Coppola's brother, Francis - Coppola's eldest son, is also Francis - Coppola's most troublesome person.

Nicolas Cage, who also has the support of Coppola's family connections, has long been a first-line star in Hollywood. His daughter Sofia Coppola is one of the top executives of Orion Pictures and is about to direct a debut film.

Roman - Coppola is fooling around all day.

"Orion Films invests in multiple films every year, and Roman can choose a crew to join."

"For example, "X-Men 2" and "Shocking Cannibals." Sofia Coppola said tentatively.

The crew of "X-Men 2" is one of the important shooting projects of Orion Pictures, and the producer of the crew of "Scary Cannibals" is Francis Coppola.

However, based on her understanding of Roman Coppola, it is obvious that she will not easily join the crew of "Scary Cannibals" and become an assistant director with peace of mind, staying under the gaze of Francis Coppola all day long.

"The 'X-Men 2' crew is not for him."

Francis Coppola shook his head and said, "I want him on your crew."

With the connections of the Coppola family, it is not difficult to arrange for Roman Coppola to enter some Hollywood crews.

It's just that Francis Coppola is not at ease with Roman Coppola and needs someone to watch over him.

Obviously, Sofia Coppola, who is the younger sister, is the most suitable candidate.

"Romain won't agree."

"I won't agree either." Sofia Coppola quickly refused, she didn't want to be with Roman Coppola in the crew.

"That's what your mother meant." Francis Coppola didn't wait for Sophia Coppola to agree, and stepped towards Ryan who was walking over, and greeted him.

"Hi, old Coppola, long time no see."

Ryan hugged Francis Coppola enthusiastically, and said, "It seems that I need to give Sofia a few days off and let her accompany you to relax in Sydney."

Ryan has great respect for Francis Coppola in front of him.

He has received a lot of help from the Coppola family in the past.

"Ryan, you seem to have forgotten."

Francis Coppola let go of his hands and said with a smile: "The filming location of "Frightening Cannibal" is also in Australia."

"I don't have time to hang around with Sofia."

As a film producer, it is impossible for him to let the crew shoot.

"Scary Cannibals"!

Ryan froze for a moment, he really didn't remember changing the filming location of "Scary Cannibal" from California to Australia.

Well, he admits he didn't care much for a low-budget horror film with a budget of only $10 million.

The investment scale of "Scary Cannibal" is not very large~www.wuxiahere.com~ The global box office of the original film is only 59.37 million US dollars.

Although the film was a commercial success, it was not an important project for Ryan and Orion Films, so naturally they would not be too concerned about it.

"Me, I admit, I've been busy recently."

Ryan spread his hands helplessly, and explained: "I don't care much about the progress of "Shocking Cannibals"."

"Then you know now." Francis Coppola naturally wouldn't mind, and he knew very well that with the investment scale of "Scary Cannibals", it was just an insignificant small project for Orion Pictures.

After chatting casually, Ryan went back to continue shooting, and there was still a shot that needed to be finished before dark.

Francis Coppola didn't stay for too long. He went to the studio owned by Paramount one step ahead, checked the equipment in the studio, and asked the crew to start setting up the shooting scene.
