Chapter 212: Jotaro has no one to play him, Director, you should do it yourself
Seven days after the release of "Death Note," the cumulative box office exceeded 220 million dollars!
If this result were in the domestic market, it would definitely be a dimensional strike against those rotten films released in a cluster.
But unfortunately, this thing would never pass censorship in the country.
Another small regret was that the first-week box office champion wasn't him either.
"Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" had a first-week box office of 270 million dollars!
DC brought out two of their pillars at once.
This box office appeal was still rock solid.
"Boss, should we buy some box office? It's not that much of a difference."
After reporting the first-week box office, Guli Nazha said excitedly.
Then she was hooked by Xu Feng's finger and tapped on the forehead.
Are you crazy!?
If you were trying to break some domestic box office record, buying box office might be understandable.
Is it sick to spend money just for a first-week box office title?
However, methods like buying out screenings are fine; at least it's your own money.
What's even sleazier is stealing box office.
It is said that in his past life, Liu Haocun's film once stole box office.
Ruining one's reputation!
You can spend some money on this! Even if it's sneaky? It doesn't cost much~
However, as time fermented, the box office of "Death Note" continued to rise triumphantly.
"Batman v Superman" gradually showed signs of decline.
Many netizens online who watched both films expressed.
If you want to watch these two films, it's recommended to watch "Death Note" first, then "Batman v Superman."
Otherwise, you'll feel like your brain has been raped.
Yeah, it's like at a music festival or concert, if the previous singer just rocked the house, and the next one performs unsatisfactorily.
Then the flaws are easily magnified infinitely.
Same principle.
Half a month after release, "Batman v Superman" had a cumulative box office of 540 million, and "Death Note" followed closely with 510 million.
Upon learning this news, the domestic onlookers were even more excited than Xu Feng himself.
【Awesome, Xu Zhanan! In half a month, he broke the record of "The Mermaid." Is he marching toward the 5 billion mark?】
【Before, when Xu Zhanan said he lost at least 3 billion in box office by not being released domestically, he was bragging. Now it seems he was actually being modest.】
【More than 3 billion, at least 4 billion lost!】
【Hurry back and film, give those rotten films a taste of their own medicine.】
【We really need Xu Feng to put some pressure on the Dragon Country film market; what the hell are all these things?】
【No, no, no, give me the third season of "Bleach" first.】
……
……
When the release time reached the third week, Xu Feng also stopped the roadshow.
Damn it, his nutrition couldn't keep up.
And Xu Feng didn't leave just yet; he had other things to be busy with—
Casting for "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders."
Not to mention Jotaro, the protagonist group's Polnareff, and those villains under Dio who appear in this road-trip film.
Basically, he had to choose foreign actors.
After all, just like the names of the Espada in "Bleach," names like J. Geil and Hol Horse were really not suitable for locals to play.
The news that Xu Feng was holding auditions for actors soon spread in the Hollywood entertainment circle.
You have to know that the heat of "Death Note" hadn't dissipated at all, and the box office was still slightly inferior to "Batman v Superman."
But anyone with a brain could think of one problem.
That is, "Batman v Superman" was released in the Dragon Country mainland.
Enjoying this huge cake alone.
And Xu Feng, as a Dragon Country person, had indeed lost the most important support from his fellow countrymen.
In this duel, the winner should be "Death Note"!
But even so, the results Xu Feng achieved were already terrifying enough.
For a time, many rising Hollywood superstars came to audition.
……
……
"This won't work!"
In the familiar Netflix headquarters building, Xu Feng slapped his forehead in a headache.
Although muscular men were indeed easier to find here in the US than at home.
But performing that flavor was another matter entirely.
Other roles were easier to talk about, but Jotaro couldn't be decided for a long time.
The most important thing about JoJo is to perform that magical and catchy flavor.
A very important point where "Stardust Crusaders" differs from "Bleach" is that the villains basically change every episode.
Therefore, Xu Feng could completely teach the villain actors slowly to perform that flavor.
But Jotaro couldn't.
Damn it, he couldn't teach him every minute and every second for dozens of episodes, right?
The actor must realize the soul of this character himself.
"Boss, Boss! A Hollywood superstar is here!"
Miss Guli Nazha jumped to Xu Feng's side, startled.
Xu Feng raised an eyebrow?
A superstar?
He was tired of seeing superstars these past two days.
However, when the person entered the door, Xu Feng was still stunned for a moment.
Henry Cavill?
That's right, the actor who played Superman in "Batman v Superman," which was currently competing with "Death Note" for the highest global box office of the year.
The emperor's enterprise was not yet half-finished, and he defected to Wei halfway?
"Mr. Xu, can I try out for an audition?"
Henry Cavill asked.
"Hmm, no problem."
Xu Feng also reacted quickly and asked:
"Jotaro?"
It must be said that Henry Cavill was indeed very suitable for "JoJo."
"... No, I want to try Polnareff." ===== CHAPTER 214 =====
