Chapter 404: The Worries of Victory
Speaking of which, both "Dragon Born" and "Scream" are relatively niche films. Although the quality is also a momentary choice, under the influence of the most important data of the number of moviegoers, the box office is not too high.
The number of global viewers of "Dragon Born" is expected to be about 12 million, while "Scream" is slightly higher, about 15 million, which is a clear gap from the number of viewers of more than 5,6 million people in "Golden Eye" that has just been released, and the box office is reflected here. The global box office of "God" is just 100 million US dollars, and "Scream" is only 130 million US dollars.
It's still the same sentence. Although these are the two lowest films in Chen Jin's screenwriters, Hollywood makes hundreds of films a year, of which 100 million US dollars at the box office is very small, and it seems that there are no more than 50.
So, with this, it is actually very good. At least the major filmmakers in Hollywood are already very greedy. However, the hearts of the people are not enough. Chen Jin specially took out these two films to cooperate with those film companies on Hong Kong Island. Therefore, Jinchen Group did not have any shares.
However, what spread to Chen Jin's ears was the rumor that he took all the good films to Hollywood to shoot, and the rest of the bad films on Hong Kong Island were not sold. Hearing this, Chen Jin was really happy, so he really made up his mind to temporarily stop cooperating with most film investors and shoot on Hong Kong Island. All the films are also invested by themselves. The only exception may be the first to cooperate and cooperate happily. Brother Qiang and Mr. He Guanchang have never said anything.
This world has really changed. People are getting more and more greedy. By the way, 100 million US dollars is equivalent to almost 900 million Hong Kong dollars, more than a dozen points. Excluding the cost of production and distribution, each family also costs about 30 million yuan.
30 million. According to the current suffocating situation in the Hong Kong film market, if you catch the boss of a film company, if a Hong Kong-made film can earn 10 million yuan, he can be happy for three days.
And a film company, even if you invest in more than a dozen movies a year, how much you can make in a year, Andy Lau is a good example. Why did he owe so much money later? It's not because the film company made a loss in making movies, and such a film company is not uncommon at all. Think about it 20 years later, now There are only a few film companies and studios left to understand.
But these investors are expensive. They don't know anything. They usually do less, and they are active in distributing money. Now, they actually say no. It's really greedy enough. They all look at those films that often sell 300 to 400 million dollars. They are really spoiled, and they don't think about whether they deserve it or not.
Before, I saw some of the face of the Chen family, and in the film industry, there were always some people's feelings. Now, I don't have to care about anything. Those who are insatiable can get out of here and make movies at ease. On the contrary, Chen Jin will not hesitate to pay for it. Just like the music market, the director is good. Whether it's a screenwriter, if you have a good work, you can let them have a try after careful consideration.
When they said that, those guys didn't mean to put pressure on Chen Jin. They wanted to get more benefits, but when they suddenly heard the news of the cessation of cooperation, they were stunned and reluctant to give up. That's tens of millions of things. By the way, who really makes so much money? Easy. .
So, he made a scene again. If there were close people, he went straight to the Chen family. Unfortunately, this time, Mr. Chen didn't give anyone face, so he all of them drove out and rudely said, "Since I disliked it before, can't you use a hot face to stick your cold buttocks?"
Hong Kong Island was very noisy for a while, but the United States also began to make noise. Moreover, it gradually began to spread to the world. Why? Because the movie "Independence Day" finally appeared in the world.
The reason why it is eye-catching is that in the month before its release, Universal Pictures once again followed Chen Jin's advice and spent almost 30 million US dollars on bombing propaganda in the United States. At the same time, there are also key publicity strategies around the world.
Of course, the reason why Universal Pictures is so refreshing lies in the successful release of Golden Eye. From that time on, Mr. Edward has understood very well that Chen Jin is not only a talented screenwriter, but also a talented planner. He can maximize the audience's attention and enthusiasm for the film.
So, when the movie is released, you can imagine what the box office will be like.
After Chen Jin's coordination, "Turdo" will be released for two weeks, which is also afraid that "Independence Day" will be too strong. After all, most of the two movies are made by buying stunts, so it can be said that there are some repetitions. If it is released at the same time, it will obviously affect each other's box office.
There is no doubt that Tornado is actually a hegemonic film. After two weeks of release in North America, it has won a box office of a staggering 110 million US dollars. It has won the weekly box office list for two weeks, and the world has won 260 million US dollars, which is in the limelight for a while.
However, when "Independence Day" was released, everyone knew what the wolf was. The enthusiasm of the fans seemed to exceed everyone's expectations, and the box office rose like crazy, which was amazing. Except for Chen Jin!
Love - The love between Mr. President and Mrs. President is great, and the love of Major Air Force is very warm. As for the love of scientists, um, although there is a little vulgarity of heroic beauty, it is a little unique beauty.
Friendship - Perhaps, it should be said that love is more appropriate. The movie includes real friendship, but there are also war friendship, comradeship and so on. Everyone's image is so beautiful. Well, even if it is a defense minister who is afraid of death and incompetent, don't you think he is actually very cute?
Family affection - At the beginning, there was a scene and dialogue between the old man and the middle-aged son. It was kind and warm, which reminded me at the first time that I should call my father, as if we hadn't talked for a long time. In addition, the love of the president and the president's wife for her daughter, and the naughty little guy of the major's lover are profound. KING gave them a flexible life.
Unparalleled stunts - When you see the sudden appearance of aliens in the clear blue sky we usually see and the dazzling and super powerful weapons they carry, the super shocking scene of easily destroying a city, and countless planes bombing the ground, realistic and perfect, perhaps, this is already It makes you stunned and fall in love with this movie.
Super-large disaster scene - not to mention the scene of the destruction of the city created by stunts, let's talk about the scene of the city's bombing and panic after the big escape. According to director Roland Emmerich, the Great Escape closed a five-kilometer road in the suburbs of Los Angeles. It was shot for a week, including day and night, sunny days and rain, of course, more importantly, the panicked crowd, the dilapidated ruins, all of which were spectacular and shocking enough to be intoxicating.
Here, I have to praise Roland Emmerich. This guy is really a genius in disaster movies. He is fascinated by this kind of scene.
Aliens - Although aliens occupy the earth, the doomsday crisis is not unusual, but the mysterious Area 51 is not a surprise. Also, did the aliens who appeared in front of us in full image surprise us for the first time?
These are the six reasons for the success of Independence Day. It includes almost all the selling elements, and he is so well integrated. Whether you like warmth or hot, this movie is worth watching - the New York Times overseas glory.
Just like the affirmation of the New York Times, a super-influential media in the United States and even the world, "Independence Day" is indeed very wonderful. Coupled with the previous warm-up, the film won a super box office of more than 160 million US dollars in the first week of release, and even in North America, there are more than 60 million US dollars. Ultra-high income, whether it is the single hall results, the weekly box office list, and even the expected number of moviegoers are at the top of the list.
He made 160 million yuan a week, which almost dropped his chin. Previously, he was envious of Paramount's Tornado's results, but now it's his turn to envy him.
This Monday's six hundred and six thousand is the beginning. As we all know, the first week is generally worse than the second and third weeks. More importantly, the film is so good that the four-week release cycle is obviously not enough. In addition, the future DVD copyright and TV copyright will undoubtedly make the world make a lot of money again.
Moreover, in front of us, the first Monday is 160 million. According to general rules, the box office of this film is likely to be as high as 800 million US dollars, and the highest box office in the history of the previous film is August 90 million of Jurassic Park, nearly 900 million.
But who knows that Independence Day will not surprise people in the next month or more. Maybe just thinking about it is enough to make Mr. Edward beautiful.
Mr. Edward is beautiful. As the screenwriter of this film, Chen Jin, the most famous screenwriter in Hollywood and the greatest talented screenwriter after Charlotte Bronte, seems to be under a lot of pressure.
It's right that the movie is excellent, but for others, that's what he, a playboy, should do, and the mistakes he made seemed to be unforgivable, ridiculed, spurned and criticized!
The reason is actually very simple. Chen Jin also knew it before, but he didn't change it. That is the dialogue about Independence Day said by the President of the United States played by Bill Pullman before fighting back against the aliens.
Extend and watch the whole play, it is suspected of great Americanism. Therefore, although the box office is rising, the criticism from all over the world is also rising day by day. It seems that there is a big trial for Chen Jin.
