Chapter 660 "Transformers" Released! (Two in one, please subscribe)

Of course, the violent collision is what the Second World employees themselves think.

In the eyes of most people, this is the last struggle of "Transformers".

"Lin Xuan is burning money again."

"Is propaganda useful?"

"So much money is spent on publicity, it's better to give it to me."

"Let's put it this way, the promotion of "Transformers" is all about making wedding dresses for "The Dark Knight."

"Let's put it this way, when I hear the name "Transformers", I think of the bad movie "Altered Steel". And when I hear the name "The Dark Knight", I want to go to the cinema and enjoy the movie that Mr. Longman gave us. brought about by the magical world."

"..."

However, except Huaxia.

In the Chinese base camp, the promotion of the "Transformers" movie has almost reached the highest level.TV, Internet, offline bus, subway, outdoors, elevators... The trinity of advertising bombardment makes it penetrate into the hearts of almost every Chinese person.

In contrast, the treatment of "The Dark Knight" is very different.

Even the Chinese media deliberately downplayed the existence of "The Dark Knight", and even the news didn't compare the two, so many people didn't even know the existence of this movie.

There is no way, in his own country, Lin Xuan's influence is ridiculously strong.Even if he doesn't speak, basically the major media and newspapers will show him favor and will not take the initiative to promote Lin Xuan's opponents.Moreover, in the face of major events such as hitting Hollywood, the Chinese people are basically surprisingly united.

As for advertising, it doesn't do much.

For example, on Weibo, "The Dark Knight" just spent a lot of money to buy a hot search, but within ten minutes it was overwhelmed by the overwhelming news of "Transformers".

Searches are gone.

The advertising costs were wasted.

Langman was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

What the hell, that shameless Lin Xuan is giving play to his home court advantage again!

Too much!
But seeing the situation in North America, Langman immediately felt comfortable.Because in North American and even European and American film circles, "Transformers" was also treated coldly.If it weren't for the great fame of Adonis and Anthony, this movie would probably have been completely sidelined, and it would not be able to make any waves in the world.

……

Second World Headquarters.

Ma Bin found Lin Xuan: "Boss Lin, the publicity effect of "Transformers" in China is very good, almost not weaker than the popularity of "Changjin Lake". "The Dark Knight" took it away. Mr. Huang called just now and said that Longman is leading the crew members to start a global road show, and he asked if you want to do the same?"

Roadshow?

Lin Xuan shook his head: "No need, there is no need to do the premiere ceremony. It will be shown directly at that time."

In Lin Xuan's view, the reputation of "Transformers" has already been spread through the advertisements of Big Cat and other channels. Not to mention other things, just relying on Big Cat's global pop-up advertisements will make "Transformers" News of movie releases reaches more than one billion users around the world.

Now "Transformers" is not well-known, but many European and American movie fans have already believed that his mecha movie can't be successful, and there is a high probability that it will be a bad movie, so they subconsciously ignore it.In this case, even if Lin Xuan takes the crew to the road show, the effect may be mediocre.

It is a waste of manpower, material resources and financial resources.

"By the way, basic publicity is still needed. In addition, let Adonis, Sister Yuman, Anthony, and the others do a lot of publicity and mobilize their fans to watch the movie."

Lin Xuan exhorted.

What can be publicized, of course, must be publicized.

Ma Bin nodded: "Well, they are very active in publicity, and there is almost one post every day on their respective social platforms. Not only the crew members, but also many Hollywood actors also promoted the movie for you, including Sharman, Natalie ...waiting for movie stars. They should be grateful for the song "See you again" written by you, so they gave back."

"Ah."

Lin Xuan replied: "Record it all."

These favors will have to be paid back in the future.It is even more rare to be able to help promote the film under the premise that it knows that its film may hit the street.

Ma Bin agreed.

……

Time still passed day by day.

Globally, the popularity of "The Dark Knight" has been getting higher and higher, especially in the major film circles, basically all fans of this movie are talking about it. It was almost blank, except for a few speeches that ridiculed Lin Xuan, there were not many disturbances in the rest.This is the dominance of Hollywood directors in the world, and Lin Xuan is completely incomparable.

In this case, just publicity, "The Dark Knight" will crush "Transformers".

There was a lot of discussion.

"The Dark Knight is so popular, it is estimated that this movie will earn more than [-] million US dollars at the box office."

"This is the strength of Director Longman."

"'Transformers' was pretty much crushed."

"No way, the two are not at the same level."

Regarding the international situation, Lin Xuan and the Second World did not take any action, and seemed to be lying flat.

However, when the time came to ten o'clock in the morning on July [-]th.

second world.

Lin Xuan found Ma Bin, with sharp eyes: "Mr. Ma, are you ready?"

Ma Bin said in a deep voice, "Ready."

"it is good!"

Lin Xuan waved his hand: "Start!"

five minutes later.

Second World, Big Cats, China's Kumao, Wangyiyun, Koukou Music, Spotify, Apple Music, Google Music and almost all the world's well-known music platforms, an advertisement popped up at the same time: "Lin Xuan" The last song in the album "No.1" is officially unlocked! Click to listen!"

boom!
Like a blockbuster, hundreds of millions of people around the world were shocked by the news.

A few months ago, when Lin Xuan released the "No.1" album, he stated that the last song of the album would be temporarily locked, and the release time was uncertain.

No one thought that this song would be unlocked without warning today!
Since Lin Xuan's first nine English songs swept the world, they are very different from the film industry. When the advertisement popped up, countless media and fans almost couldn't wait to click to enter the page, wanting to see what the last song of "No.1" is Why did Lin Xuan not release the song until now.

Click in.

Only a few lines of text came into view:

Song: "What i've done"

Vocals: Lin Xuan

Lyricist: Lin Xuan

Features: This song is the theme song of "Transformers".

Just momentarily.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Everyone looked at the last line of text, as if petrified.

After a long time, there was an exclamation.

"God!"

"What did I see?!"

"Oh my God."

"Transformers theme song?"

"It's actually the theme song of Lin Xuan's new movie?"

"Damn, I'm shaking all over."

"The moment I saw the introduction of the song, I felt my consciousness burst."

"..."

The hearts of countless people were shocked.

Everyone finally understood why Lin Xuan's last song was delayed irregularly and why it was released at this time.It turned out to be the theme song of "Transformers"!
Especially for many people in the industry, their scalps are numb.

What does this mean?
It means that when Lin Xuan was making the album, he had already planned today's events.I wrote the theme song of "Transformers" half a year ago or even a year ago, and then waited to show it to the world today!
"terrible."

"Doesn't this mean that Lin Xuan was planning to make a mecha film a long time ago?"

"It's amazing. In order to promote a movie, I actually planted the foreshadowing when I made the album, and wrote a song for it!"

"And it's at the end of the album."

"The wily Lin Xuan."

"Think carefully."

"I suddenly had a terrible thought: Lin Xuan has been planning this movie for such a long time, will he really be perfunctory when shooting?"

"..."

More people clicked on the song called "What i've done", wanting to hear what's so special about it.

When many people put on the headphones, a passionate and passionate melody sounded, and then the melody became more and more passionate, like a volcanic eruption rising into the sky, causing the blood in the chest of almost every fan to roll.

Then came the song:

"In this farewell There's no blood there's no alibi
Farewell, no blood, no excuses
'Cause I've drawn regret
Just because I can't regret it

……

What I've done I'll face myself
Wash my sins and make me face myself

To cross out what I've become
write off the past"

In the very beginning, the singing was pretty flat.But after only a moment, the high-pitched singing sounded like an electric current, rushing into the depths of everyone's soul wave after wave.

Countless fans had goose bumps all over their bodies.

Especially the lyrics of this song seem to be telling a passionate story.Amidst the passionate singing, domineering and passionate scenes of mecha battles appeared in front of everyone's eyes, which made everyone's hearts agitated uncontrollably.

"Sure enough, another good song."

"It's too hot!"

"It continues the style of "Numb" and "In the end" before."

"Love it! I love this song so much."

"Lin Xuan has indeed sung his own style in rock, creating a new era."

Especially some fans' hearts throbbed when they heard it: "Lin Xuan is still talented in singing, please, don't go to the film industry, hurry up and release a few more songs, okay?"

A certain fan said: "I feel like listening to this song is like watching a mech science fiction blockbuster. Lin Xuan has too much control over the emotion and artistic conception of the song. It actually provoked me to watch "Transformers" impulse."

A fan said: "After listening to this song, I really became very curious about "Transformers". I think that as long as Lin Xuan can show the enthusiasm that blooms in half of the songs in the movie, this movie will be considered as a movie." Success! For this song, I have to go to the cinema to see it."

It's the exact opposite of the movie reviews.

After the song was released, it received rave reviews!

And as expected, this song rocketed to No. 20 on the global singles chart an hour later. According to the current popularity, it is only a matter of time before it breaks into the top ten!

Driven by the power of "What i've done", the popularity of "Transformers" has risen with the tide.

The major social media were once again swamped by the news of "Transformers".

At this time, many people understood: No wonder Lin Xuan was not worried about the popularity of "The Dark Knight" before. It turns out that this is his big propaganda weapon!
Today, Lin Xuan's points in the international music scene have reached more than [-]!
Ten songs have dominated the singles chart for more than thirteen months. It can be said that when its influence in the music world is at its peak, it is only a matter of time before it steps into the international king level.It is conceivable how much traffic the last song of his album will bring to "Transformers".

"It's useless!"

Langman, who was on a global road show, sneered when he heard the news: "The music world and the film world are two completely different fields of entertainment. I admit that you, Lin Xuan, are indeed top-notch in the music world, but a song can at most give you "Transformers" brought a little heat, and it is impossible to affect the box office. How does Huaxia say?... You need to be strong to make an iron! Without excellent quality, even if you sing ten songs, it will be useless! "

The assistant next to him was convinced: "If a theme song can determine the box office of a movie, then the director of every movie will spend a lot of money to ask the international king to sing."

The two didn't care.

……

time flies.

one day.
Two days.

Finally, January 7 arrived.

The world is boiling because it's the premiere day of Longman's magical blockbuster "The Dark Knight."It has to be said that Longman's status in Hollywood and even in the global film industry is quite high. The premiere day was extremely luxurious, and many big Hollywood directors and movie stars came to support him.

The whole Internet is full of news about the premiere of "The Dark Knight".

North America.

"finally come!"

"Excited, looking forward."

"Longman's movie is definitely not bad."

"A must see on premiere day."

……

United Kingdom.

"I've been looking forward to a magical movie for a year."

"Contribute to Longman's box office."

"Hurry up and buy tickets, or they will be gone."

"Ahhh, my favorite Hollywood blockbuster."

"We've waited until this day."

……

France, India, Germany, island countries, bangzi countries... Dozens of countries around the world are almost all boiling.There are not a few blockbuster movies released in Hollywood every year, and it is even rarer to have such a high popularity as "The Dark Knight".So fans all over the world are extremely excited.

Of course, Huaxia seemed a little deserted.

Although there are still many people watching this movie in major theaters, compared with the international ones, it is much worse.

Many netizens talked about it.

"Brothers, unite and boycott Langman."

"Langman is uneasy and kind. He wants to cut off our Huaxia's hope of entering Hollywood, so you must not watch his movies."

"Yes, even if I buy buns to feed dogs with my money, I don't watch "The Dark Knight."

"Don't look at it, absolutely don't look at it."

"We must keep the Huaxia box office, we are Brother Xuan's mother's family."

"They must know the strength of the unity of the Chinese people."

"Let's all wait for the release of "Transformers" tomorrow, and let the world know the power of our Chinese fans."

Many people were angry with Langman's behavior, so they cursed.

After all, everyone knows what the confrontation between Lin Xuan and Langman means this time.

Lin Xuan won, and Hollywood will be fully open to China in the future.

If Lin Xuan loses, Huaxia's path to Hollywood may be completely cut off.

In this case, it's no wonder that the passionate youths didn't resist.

Of course, there are still many movie fans going to the movies, this is inevitable.

……

……

Two and a half novels later, the film premiere of The Dark Knight is over.

at the same time.

Countless film reviews began to pour out all over the world.

On Rotten Tomatoes, "The Dark Knight" has a rating of 8.1!
Even on China's Douban.com, the score of this magical blockbuster is 7.2 points. For a purely Hollywood commercial film, this score can already make the film enter the ranks of excellent.

"Great fantasy blockbuster."

"The special effects are amazing."

"Longman did not disappoint us."

"Success!"

"Not at all inferior to "The Man in Black Abyss"."

"It seems that although Longman shot and edited very fast in the end, the quality was not a problem at all."

"This is a symbol of strength!"

When the first day is over, the box office statistics of various places are released.

In North America, the first-day box office of "The Dark Knight" was as high as [-] million US dollars.

In Australia, the box office on the first day was [-] million US dollars.

United Kingdom, $[-] million.

Island nation, two million dollars.

Germany, France, India... Basically every place has won the local single-day box office champion!
Even in China, the box office on the first day was [-] million Chinese coins, which is a total of [-] million US dollars when converted into US dollars.

in North America.

Langman's nerves have been tense. Even though he is extremely confident in his film, no one can tell the box office before it has passed the test of the market.

And at this moment, when the global box office is counted one by one.

Cheers erupted from the crew.

"not worried!"

"The box office has exploded."

"Hahaha, my heart has finally fallen."

"Looking at the situation, it will not be a problem for the final box office to exceed [-] million U.S. dollars, and it may even exceed the record of "Men in Black Abyss"."

"Director Longman is too steady."

at last.

The box office statistics of the first day of "The Dark Knight" are released, with a total of 4810 million US dollars worldwide!
Breaking through [-] million US dollars on the first day!

It was even just a little bit short of hitting the box office of [-] million in a single day!

This achievement is also extremely dazzling in the box office of Hollywood film history.

Langman finally let out a long sigh of relief, with a bright smile on his face, but soon the smile on his face froze again, and he frowned and looked at his assistant: "The box office of China's first day was only more than seven million dollars?"

Although compared to countries such as Britain, France, and island countries, the box office of [-] million US dollars on the first day is already extremely amazing, but that is China!Huaxia, known as the world's second largest box office base!
Last year, his movie "The Man in Black in the Abyss" had a box office of 1.6 million Chinese dollars on the first day in China, which was a full [-] million U.S. dollars.But now, the box office of "The Dark Knight", which is even better than "The Man in Black of the Abyss", is only one-third of its box office on the first day in China?

"Fake!"

Langman knew very well that Huaxia's box office was so poor that it was definitely the result of resistance from Lin Xuan and the people of Huaxia.

In China, his films didn't have a lot of publicity and word of mouth... It's no wonder the box office is so high.

The assistant hurriedly said: "Mr. Langman, please don't be angry. Although China's box office is not good, this time "The Dark Knight" won the single-day box office championship in more than [-] countries around the world. It is still the best movie. "

Langman snorted: "Don't worry, I don't need to be angry. After all, Huaxia is Lin Xuan's lair, so what can I do to make him proud? My main purpose this time is to completely rub his movies under the ground in the international arena." At that time, even if his box office in China is several billion Chinese dollars, but the international box office is less than tens of millions, it will only become a joke in Hollywood!"

You think about it.

It's a Hollywood movie, but it doesn't have a box office in the world, which makes people laugh out loud.

"So, as long as Lin Xuan gets nothing internationally, he will have to go back obediently."

Langman's eyes sparkled.

……

……

When "The Dark Knight" premiered, Lin Xuan had already returned to Hollywood.

Just got back to Second World Films.

Many people gathered around.

There were employees from the company, there were Huang Ming, there was Adonis, there was Anthony... everyone came, after all, after the premiere of "The Dark Knight", the premiere of "Transformers" followed.

Many people have anxious faces.

"Director Lin, the box office of Longman's movie has exploded."

"Nearly fifty million dollars on the first day."

"what should we do?"

"The key is that we are still showing after him, and the momentum is gone."

"Is our first movie destined to hit the street?"

"I also went to see "The Dark Knight" today, it's really good."

"What the hell, you actually went to watch your opponent's movie?"

"Aren't I doing this to analyze the enemy's weaknesses, knowing ourselves and the enemy and winning a hundred battles?"

"Fuck your shit!"

The place was noisy.

Although Adonis and Guan Yuman have all seen the finished product of "Transformers", they know that it is absolutely excellent.But Longman's "The Dark Knight" was too brutal at the box office, and everyone had no idea that they could beat each other.

Lin Xuan smiled and said, "Why are you panicking? The box office of [-] million on the first day scared you?"

Everyone was speechless.

Forty-eight million box office is not much, is it?
Still mere?
This is not Chinese currency, but US dollars!

Lin Xuan did not continue this topic, he looked at Huang Ming: "Mr. Huang, what is the global screening rate?"

"At this."

Huang Ming took out a document from his briefcase and handed it over.

The above is the filming rate of "Transformers" in various countries around the world:
North America: 8.1%.

United Kingdom: 6.6%.

France: 5.8%.

Island nations: 5.5%.

Australia: 5.3%.

India: 18.4%.

China: 50.8%.

When he was looking at the screening rate, Anthony next to him smiled bitterly and said: "Mr. Lin, the screening rate in these countries in Europe and the United States basically has no way to go up, basically hovering between 5% and 6%. The first is because of Langman's "The Dark Knight." "steals the screening, and the second is that mecha movies naturally have no screening rate in European and American theaters. Even in North America, I spent a lot of effort to get a 6.1% screening rate."

"You have worked hard."

Lin Xuan said with a smile: "It is enough to have an average of about 6% of the filming!"

He originally thought that 5% was not there. After all, in the eyes of European and American film circles, it is a waste of energy to arrange a mech film like "Transformers". Appeal, I am afraid that many theaters are too lazy to schedule films.

Quite the opposite.

On the first day of Huaxia, the film schedule was as high as 50%. Even Lin Xuan was speechless, but he was a little proud. This is his dominance in the country, and no other star can match it.Especially this time the domestic theaters know that Lin Xuan is engaged in a smoke-free war with the big Hollywood directors this time, and everyone has worked hard to arrange enough films for "Transformers".Even many other movies that are currently being released have given way to Lin Xuan, because the entire entertainment industry knows that if Lin Xuan can gain a firm foothold in Hollywood, all of them will benefit.

Seeing the end, Lin Xuan was surprised and said, "Huh? Why is India's ranking so high?"

Huang Ming explained: "Mr. Lin, because you have a high reputation in India, and you have a good relationship with the five top Indian families including the Amu family. You even let them take the shares of Big Cat in India. So in the After hearing that your film was going to be released in India, the five major families immediately secured a good screening rate for you. This is only the first day of screening. An executive from the Eminem family told me that as long as "Transformers" comes first If the effect of the day's release is above the passing line, they will immediately continue to increase the screening rate, and on the contrary, even if the screening effect is not good, they will maintain a screening rate of more than 10%."

It was so!
Lin Xuan suddenly realized.

He smiled and said, "Boss Huang, thank them for me and tell the five major families that I will visit them again when I have time."

"Yes."

Huang Ming agreed.

Lin Xuan continued: "Are there many people at the premiere ceremony?"

Huang Mingdao: "I have counted more than [-] movie stars here, all of them are big Hollywood stars. There are more media reporters, hundreds of them."

"Yo!"

Lin Xuan raised his eyebrows.

So many reporters?
More reporters than there were at the premiere of The Dark Knight.

With his ass, he wanted to know the intention of these media reporters.

……

……

Huaxia, the global schedule of "Transformers" has been released.

Netizens stared.

"Fuck, why are they so low?"

"What the hell, those countries in Europe and the United States only have a 5% screening rate?"

"Is it too low?"

"This is not taking Brother Xuan's movies seriously."

"It's too much. Brother Xuan can't get the box office at all with this rate."

"Huh? There are actually 18% of the films scheduled in India?"

"Ah San is interesting enough, I suddenly have a great affection for Ah San."

"It's not enough for India to have film schedules, and the Indian film industry has always been sluggish. The box office is just a drop in the bucket. What should I do?"

"Fortunately, we have 50% of the film schedule in China. Brothers, let's book tickets and go. We must give brother Xuan a good reputation and let the world know our unity."

"That's right, everyone must support Brother Xuan. It's really not easy for Brother Xuan to hit Hollywood alone. I don't care if North America and Europe are suppressing Brother Xuan's movies, but in China, we must support Get up and give brother Xuan's movie a good box office answer."

……

European and American fans.

After seeing this arrangement, everyone felt very reasonable.

"What kind of arrangement does a mecha film need?"

"So many mech films that failed at the box office are the best examples."

"That is, if it wasn't for my Adonis, I wouldn't be interested in watching it at all."

"Lin Xuan is about to accept a beating from the international film industry."

"Chinese people will never be able to adapt to Hollywood."

"I like Lin Xuan's songs very much, but movies? Sorry, I refuse."

……

Hollywood directors.

Everyone is paying attention to this extraordinary movie premiere.

A director said: "Only 5% of the film schedule, coupled with the strong crush of Langman's "The Dark Knight", Lin Xuan is destined to be unable to turn over."

Another person showed a smile on his face: "But I'm still a little curious about what kind of mecha movie Lin Xuan made with an investment of [-] million U.S. dollars. Especially in the end, he edited the movie in one day. I can't wait to watch it." Let’s see what the fastest shot and edited movie in history looks like, I’m really looking forward to it..."

Someone said: "I don't know what "Transformers" looks like, but I can be sure that when the movie premieres tomorrow, Lin Xuan will be preparing to leave Hollywood. Of course, if he stays in Hollywood with a face , contributing money to Hollywood is fine with us."

"Hahaha."

Everyone laughed.

……

internationally.

The situation is surging.

With the box office hit of the premiere of "The Dark Knight" and the special grievances between Longman and Lin Xuan, the media and movie fans all over the world focused their attention, waiting for the performance of "Transformers".

Someone is expecting.

Someone is mocking.

Someone is watching.

at last.

July [-]th is here!
On this day, "Transformers" officially opened its world premiere!
