The filming of "Argo" that portrays Iran as a terrorist country is Hollywood's freedom, and the filming of "The Three Hundred Warriors" that portrays Persians as cruel and tyrannical monsters is also Hollywood's freedom. Under the call of the banner of freedom, as long as there are enough interests, even "Fathan 911" that mocks the federal government is also produced and released by the company.

Freedom, the most deeply rooted slogan in North America; freedom, the biggest reason and excuse for resisting protests; freedom, the eternal theme of Hollywood movies.

As for whether there is so much freedom in North America, will Hollywood producers and publishers care?

Hollywood makes movies in the name of freedom, resists tyranny in the name of freedom, discredits its opponents in the name of freedom, and imposes double standards internally and externally in the name of freedom...

Also, call audiences into the theater in the name of freedom.

When May arrives, a mocking bird with sharp arrows in his mouth and a dazzling fire in the fire became a symbol of freedom on the big screen and even the entire North American.

Because of the fact that "The Hunger Games" is a super popular movie in North America, "The Hunger Games 2: Catching Spark" was rated as the most anticipated movie this year as early as last year. The accumulated large number of fans of the novel and the film also saved Walt Disney a lot of publicity and marketing costs.

Although it only cost more than half of the promotional expenses of the first film, the film has always maintained enough topical popularity. Even since the day of preparation of "Spark of Fire", all kinds of real and fake news have been constantly leaking.

For example, the name of the film changed from the original "Starlight" to the several modified "The Hunger Games 2: Starlight"; for example, the rumor that Sophia Coppola resigned from the director position because of a sharp conflict with Natalie Portman, and a few days later, a reporter photographed the two chatting and dining intimately; for example, the crew held a massive audition for the "tribute", and most of the Disney youth idols such as Selena Gomez and Vanessa Huggins were selected...

In short, The Hunger Games 2: Catching Sparks has never been missing topics for public discussion.

The biggest and most exciting news appeared a week before the film was released. Disney Pictures held a press conference and announced that she had successfully renewed her contract with Natalie Portman. She will continue to star in the next two movies of "The Hunger Games 3: The Mockingbird". Disney paid a single piece of $20 million.

The whole of North America suddenly became an uproar. This is the fifth female 20 million club member in Hollywood after Nicole Kidman, Julia Roberts, Reese Witherspoon and Charlize Theron, and the youngest among them.

Although some tabloids are talking sourly, mainstream media have given affirmation. After all, the Star Wars Prequel trilogy established Natalie's position as a popular actress in Hollywood, and after "The Hunger Games", he became one of the most appealing actresses in Hollywood.

As for the Hunger Games 2: Catching Sparks, which has not been released yet, look at the box office pre-sale of up to $127.8 million, and you will know why Disney signed this contract.

This news played an excellent eye-catching role, and since the first weekend of May, "The Hunger Games 2: Catching Fire" set a new box office record in North America.

The film's first-day box office was as high as $70.95 million on Friday, breaking the single-day box office record of $67.26 million held by The Hunger Games; the North American box office accumulated by $158.07 million in the first three days, surpassing the Hunger Games' $152.53 million, setting a new first-week box office record.

The tabloids who had previously questioned whether Natalie was worth $20 million in pay closed their mouths.

"Surviving in the name of freedom!"

This is a promotional slogan formulated by Disney for "The Hunger Games 2: Catching Sparks", and it has also become a veritable slogan for making money.

"Looking at Hollywood and world film history, no movie with a completely female protagonist is so popular; no actress like Natalie Portman has supported the box office of $150 million in the first week on her own."

"The first week of the Hunger Games: Catching Sparks" gives us enough reason to believe that it will surpass the first one. If we include the Star Wars Prequel series as the heroine, Natalie Portman will definitely become the female star with the highest cumulative box office numbers in Hollywood history, and she can even stand out for most of the male star in Hollywood."

"Maybe this is the beginning of a new era in Hollywood. Films with women as the absolute protagonists will occupy the screens of North America and the entire world on a large scale in the future. New feminism has been completely awakened on the big screen!"

The comments in the Los Angeles Times are completely biased towards Natalie. The New York Times is no exception.

"As a standard New York girl, Natalie Portman is full of talent, and the actor is just one side of her. Don't forget that she has the other side of her as a director, and don't forget that she is the second American woman to be nominated for Best Director at the Oscar."

With the craze caused by "The Hunger Games 2: Catching Sparks", Disney has not forgotten to promote "Black Swan", and even released the first trailer cut by Natalie himself on the temptation tube.

The new film directed by "Katniss" has also sparked heated discussions among the media and movie fans, especially the fans gathered through "Star Wars Series" and "The Hunger Games", who expressed their expectations for the film.

A week later, Warner Bros.'s "Wonder Woman 2: The Sword of the Demon Flame" landed in North America, with a box office of $125.66 million in the first three days. Two films that completely use the most self-reliant and feminist female characters as the absolute protagonists, becoming the biggest winners at the beginning of this summer.

Mixed between the two, with male as the protagonist, the box office results of "Sniper's Life and Death Line" can only be described as terrible. The box office in the first week was only more than 14 million US dollars, and the cumulative total of only 20 million US dollars in two weeks.

The first villain's choice of black people is an important factor in the failure of the film, but the box office defeat of this film once again proves that having a sniper as the protagonist of the film is definitely a taboo in big-scale commercial films.

To date, the two largest sniper movies in Hollywood history, "The Soldiers" and "The Sniper Line of Life and Death" have all failed at the box office.

Even in the future, Ryan doesn't remember that Hollywood had a sniper movie that was successful in the box office.

This theme is like a pure pirate film. Few companies invest tens of millions of dollars in production, and the companies that produce it often regret it.

The entire May movie market is basically the world of "The Hunger Games 2: Catching Sparks" and "Wonder Woman 2: Sword of the Flame". The most popular stars are definitely the absolute protagonists of the two films, Natalie and Gale Gado.

By late May, "The Hunger Games 2: Catching Sparks" spent the third weekend, which won $355.64 million from North America, and 97 overseas markets released simultaneously around the world also contributed $263.57 million.

The second part of this series still did not change the situation where the popularity of North America and the colder overseas situation.

However, this is also normal. After all, the feminist movement is developing rapidly like North America. There are not many in the world. The film will definitely be affected by the social environment of the region.

At the same time, another thing happened this month. Susan Collins, one of the original authors, declared in an interview that after the series is completed, the collaboration with Walt Disney will end, and that her new works will not be selected as a partner for her later releases.

Although he became famous from an unknown screenwriter with the Hunger Games series and received a revenue share of tens of millions of dollars, the copyright of the other half of the series is always in the hands of Ryan. This has led to the negotiations between Susan Collins and Disney being subject to restrictions, and probably has enough of this situation where the initiative cannot be controlled in his own hands.

This is very normal in Hollywood. Both sides come together for the sake of interests, and cooperation breaks down due to interests. Maybe one day they will re-cooperate again because of interests.

"Surviving in the name of freedom!"

While muttering, Taylor carefully wrapped a mocking bird brooch made of pure gold, "and to make money in the name of freedom."

Ryan ignored the guy who walked towards the storage room and looked at the opposite side. It was Christine Stewart who hadn't seen for a long time.

The tomboy of the past not only grew taller, but also grew longer hair, and his slim figure also showed the soft curves unique to women.

"Kristen." Ryan hugged his chest. "You're not a tomboy at last."

"Ryan!" Christine Stewart said dissatisfiedly, "That was the past, is that the past OK? You have to look at the changes around you from a developmental perspective."

"What changes happened?" Ryan asked deliberately puzzledly, "What changes? Why didn't I notice it."

"Of course it was Christine who turned into a beautiful big girl."

With a burst of rapid footsteps, Taylor walked behind Christine, hugged her and kissed her on the forehead, "It's a pity that there is still a boyish smell on her body."

"Alison..." Christine hurriedly rubbed the saliva from her forehead.

Taylor sat next to her laughing and said seriously, "I just haven't seen you for a long time, I miss you very much."

"So too, Alison."

After saying that, two girls who grew up together hugged each other hard.

Then, Kristen Stewart turned to this side, "It's all because of Ryan. He suggested to his mother that I went to a professional performance class. I stayed at the California Institute of Arts for two years!"

"Dear, this will be good for your future development." Ryan put away his joke and said seriously, "Kristen, although you entered this circle very early, acting has always been your weakness."

"Yes, Ryan is right." Taylor continued, "You won't be a facial paralysis who can only play in the vase in the future, right?"

Christine simply ignored the guy who always liked to hit her and asked Ryan, “Can we go to Sandy’s birthday party?”

"Honey."

Before Ryan could answer, Taylor responded, "When should we ask for his opinion if we want to go?" (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!
