Superstars start from Hong Kong Entertainment

Chapter 557 The Box Office Explosion On The First Day
He Jin specially bought several well-known film magazines in the United States, and checked the American response to "Fast and Furious" from them.

Frankly speaking, there are many bad reviews, but there are also many good reviews.

"After watching this movie, the biggest feeling is that the role positioning is not clear, and it can even be said to be chaotic. The two protagonists are sometimes good and evil, and the storyline is also boring. If there is no more exciting car chase and passing the passing line fights, this film will have no viewing value."

"This is a very good idea, but the producer set the background of the story as the police catching robbers. I have to say that this is a great pity."

After reading a few bad reviews, He Jin scratched his head a little. The previous movie reviews were all positive, but suddenly there were so many bad reviews, which made him a little uncomfortable.

After thinking about it, he felt that this was not necessarily a bad thing.

Everything has two sides.

If the film critics of "Fast and Furious" are all positive, then the popularity of this film will definitely not be fired.

Having lived for decades, He Jin knows very well that if a movie wants to take off at the box office, what it needs is this kind of positive and negative reviews going hand in hand.

He Jin put away a pile of newspapers on the table and checked the time. It was already [-]:[-] in the morning, but the box office data for the premiere of "The Fast and the Furious" yesterday had not yet arrived.

Compared to Hong Kong with just a few screens, the market in North America is naturally countless times larger.

This also makes it many times more difficult for the issuing company to collect box office data.

He Jin didn't want to wait until he got the data, and was about to take the little Jew out for a swim, but Xiaoping walked in with a report.

"Box office data?"

He Jin asked.

"No, it's yesterday's sample report sent by Xinxian." Xiaoping put the report on the table in He Jin's room, "They conducted field sampling surveys in more than [-] cities including Los Angeles, New York, and San Francisco. They said that this data is very real, and they made the statistics entirely through individual inquiries."

He Jin flipped through the report and browsed it carefully.

The investigative department of New Line Cinema is very responsible.

They contacted a total of [-] viewers for ratings and evaluations.

Among them, male audiences accounted for 7.4%, audiences under the age of [-] accounted for [-]%, and Asians accounted for [-]%, with an average score of [-].

"Fast and Furious" is a purely commercial film, and the proportion of male audiences and audiences under the age of [-] is more than expected.

However, Asians only accounted for [-]%, which surprised He Jin a bit.

New Line Cinema's publicity focus is almost all on Asian gathering areas.

In addition, this is a movie starring pure Chinese.

According to He Jin's estimation, the proportion of Asians is at least [-]%.

But he didn't expect that the real proportion was less than half, which really surprised him.

However, he quickly gave up thinking about why the proportion of Asians was so small, and turned his attention to the "7.4" written in red handwriting.

This is the on-site rating of the audience after watching the movie. The market authenticity of this score is much more reliable than the ratings of those film critics who only know how to talk.

The audience is the one who consumes.

Whether they are happy or not is entirely their own experience, and no one can replace them.

And this audience rating of 7.4 points is already a very good score for a purely commercial film with Chinese faces.

Don't you see those commercial films of later generations just sit and watch them.

Although the number of people scoring this data is very small, future scores may be lower.

But it is undeniable that this film has initially been recognized by these audiences in North America.

……

New Line Cinema.

Annie was by the window of the office, walking around non-stop, looking back at the door of the office from time to time.

Boom boom boom!
Finally, when Annie looked at the time again, someone knocked on the door of the office, and his assistant Jessie hurriedly pushed the door in. Before anyone came in, her excited voice came over.

"Annie, yesterday's box office data is out!"

"How much?" Annie asked immediately.

"The Fast and the Furious" is what he signed for New Line.

The success of this film will be related to his future.

If he succeeds, a handsome bonus will fall into his hands, and he will have a good chance of being promoted and responsible for more projects.

And if he fails, let alone bonuses and promotions, he might lose his current position.

So far, New Line has spent close to [-] million US dollars, including the purchase of distribution rights and publicity.

If this project fails, Annie can imagine that he will not have the authority to sign new projects in the future.

Therefore, he is more eager for the success of this film than He Jin, the owner of the original producer.

"490 million dollars!" The excitement on Jessie's face couldn't be suppressed at all, she put the data report on Annie's office desk, "It's only one day! We've recovered the expenses we signed for this movie in just one day I can't imagine how much money we'll make from this movie!"

Hearing Jesse's words, Annie froze.

He picked up the report in disbelief, and after reading it, he murmured excitedly: "Successful, I successfully won a project that may exceed tens of millions of dollars."

He looked excited, and the hand holding the report couldn't help but clenched into a fist.

He has been working in the film industry for many years. On the surface, he is a director in charge of importing Xiangjiang films from New Line.

But for several consecutive years, almost none of the films he introduced entered the theaters.

Even in the video tape market, his performance is only average.

He is just an ordinary middle and lower class in this industry.

And now, the movie that he signed with his own hands and advocated to be released in theaters has finally succeeded.

In the future, facing those producers who participated in theatrical film production and distribution in China, he could finally say loudly, "I am also a producer. I brought a movie to the company that doubled its profits."

At this moment, Annie felt like crying.

He succeeded, finally succeeded.

With $[-] million in one day, the film has a bright future.

"By the way, call Mr. He and tell him the box office results."

Suddenly, Annie thought of He Jin, and immediately asked Jesse to call He Jin to announce the good news.

However, he immediately stopped Jesse again, "No need, I'll call him myself!"

The producer of the movie "Fast and Furious" is He Jin, who is also the screenwriter and starring role of this movie.

Since he can succeed in one, he can succeed in the second.

Not to mention that the second "Fast and Furious" is still in the hands of He Jin.

Annie wished to be called He Jin's father, as long as he could get "Fast and Furious II" from him.

Therefore, now is a good time to flatter, how can we give up the opportunity to others.

When Annie called, He Jin was shopping with Little Jew.

Women are naturally restless animals.

Shopping is their nature.

Even if they doubt it, they can't change their habit, but they are relatively more careful, and the things they choose have changed from what they like to what children like.

"Congratulations! It seems that your new line is going to make a lot of money! If you have a chance, don't forget to treat me to dinner."

He Jin cursed secretly when he heard Annie from the opposite side say that the daily box office had reached [-] million.

I said in my heart that I lost money.

However, business is all about integrity, and no one can change the things that have been signed, even if he wants to regret it.

Moreover, in that situation at the time, the price of four million US dollars was already beyond the reach of the new line.

Therefore, He Jin immediately congratulated Annie on the phone.

　I recommend this friend's book "Drawing Hollywood". This novel should be a rare Hollywood boutique novel in the past two years. Anyone who is interested should read it.
