Chapter 681 "Titanic" final box office (two in one, please subscribe)

In fact, to form a real influence in the Marvel universe, the addition of comics is needed.

Every superhero corresponds to a comic.

However, there are no comics, and it does not affect the audience to watch movies. For example, Lin Xuan has never read comics in his previous life, and he is not interested in these comics, but it does not affect him from becoming a fan of Marvel.

Of course, if there is the infiltration of comics, the effect of the movie will definitely be better after it is released.

I thought about it.

Lin Xuan said: "Mr. Ma, let the comics department of the company communicate with Langman and Byron to create a few comics based on the superhero protagonists of several movies. And promote them as soon as possible. .”

Making comics can not only promote the movie, but also generate an extra income.

Why not?
Ma Bin instantly understood Lin Xuan's intention and nodded in agreement.

With the background of the current second world, with the basic character design and basic plot, it is almost easy to create a few comics without any difficulty.

After a pause, he continued to ask: "Mr. Lin, now that your bet with Hollywood has not yet been decided, will Longman and Byron be interfered by the Hollywood directors' union when they are shooting movies?" Even sanctions?"

In the previous agreement, within three years of the bet between the two parties, Second World could not use any Hollywood resources, unless Lin Xuan could win the duel.

As for Longman and the others, if they wanted to make a movie, it would be almost impossible for them to make a single step without using Hollywood resources.The quality of the film that is forced to shoot will be greatly worse.

"It's okay."

Hearing Ma Bin's words, Lin Xuan didn't care at all: "The scripts of these few movies are not yet finished, and with the preparations in all aspects in the early stage, it will take at least half a year for Langman and the others to actually start filming... …and by that point, it’s all settled.”

Having said that, his eyes became deep.

"Some things should be finished."

……

……

outside world.

The Internet is still buzzing.

Similar discussions can be seen every day on almost all major social platforms.

"Is Titanic still in theaters?"

"Yes, my cinema here still has a schedule."

"Oh my god, isn't this the longest running movie ever?"

"It has been released for more than four months!"

"It's normal, as long as someone watches it, the theater will schedule it."

"..."

After more than four months of screenings in dozens of countries around the world, "Titanic" almost broke the time records for movies in all countries.It even forced countless movies to change their schedules again and again.

no way.

The staying power of "Titanic" is too strong.

It has been raging on the global box office charts for four full months, and has won 16 single-week box office champions in a row.Until now, it has gradually fallen from the list.

Seeing that "Titanic" finally gave up its seat at the single-week box office champion, many people in the industry were relieved.

As for the major film companies, they have also restarted their film release plans.

Because in more than four months, the global film companies do not know how many films are ready to be released. Now that "Titanic" is showing signs of decline, everyone finally dares to put them on the big screen.

one part.
two parts.

five.

ten.

In just ten days, more than a dozen blockbuster films in Hollywood have started their releases, and more than [-] films around the world have started their premieres in their respective countries.

Unprecedented scale!

In this situation, people in the industry were taken aback.

"Fuck, so many movies are released?"

"No way, it's all piled up together."

"Is that too much?"

"Oh my god, "Titanic" has overshadowed the sky with one hand, and it has dominated the global film industry for several months."

"But no matter how good a movie is, the legend will end one day."

"..."

The overwhelming number of movies released has also caused the box office of "Titanic", which was already showing a decline, to shrink rapidly. When it persisted for more than half a month, the global single-day box office has fallen below one million US dollars.

If it is the urine of other film companies or investment companies, as long as the box office of "Titanic" does not fall below 10 US dollars in a single day, then it will continue to be released, and every penny earned is one penny.

However, for Lin Xuan, this is not necessary.

So when the fifth month ends.

With an order from Lin Xuan, "Titanic" was officially released worldwide.

On this day, the world is in shock again.

On the day of its release, tens of millions of fans around the world once again stepped into the cinema to relive this epic movie for the last time.And the movie theater also urgently increased the film schedule to give these fans enough theaters to reminisce.

On this day, the box office of "Titanic" reached more than [-] million US dollars again!
That is a single-day box office height that 99% of movies cannot reach.

However, "Titanic" was fully screened in such brilliance!

At the same time, at least one billion people around the world are closely watching the actions of the second world, because they all want to know how much the final box office of "Titanic" is!
fans.

media.

Netizens.

industry.

Everyone was anxious, waiting for the result.

"How much is the final box office?"

"Hurry up, I'm in a hurry."

"I'm in a hurry."

"..."

In the waiting of everyone.

After half an hour.

Second World issued an announcement: "After 153 days of release, the movie "Titanic" directed by Lin Xuan is finally officially released. Thanks to all fans for their support, this movie broke a series of records during its release:
First: The most country release record, 93 countries.

Second: The longest release record is 153 days.

Third: The highest single-day box office record, 7923 million US dollars.

Fourth: The record for the most single-week box office champions is 16 weeks.

Fifth: The highest box office record on the day of its release was US$1129 million.

Sixth: Rotten Tomatoes has the most online rating record, with 1612 million ratings.

Seventh: The highest record of word-of-mouth, 9.81 points.

Eighth: The record for the largest number of viewers.

ninth:……

tenth:……

……

Twenty: ...

Of course, all of these records condense into one final record: box office!

In the end, "Titanic" earned a box office of US$21.5 billion worldwide (excluding China), and US$7.1 million in China.Worldwide gross: $28.6 billion!
Thank you everyone! "

When this announcement was sent out, it immediately caused a global sensation.

Almost all the mainstream media in the world began to forward this announcement.

In just ten minutes, news of the box office of "Titanic" spread all over the world's social platforms, TV, and online media...

["Titanic" breaks almost all records in the film industry]

[Shocking box office, "Titanic" created a box office miracle]

[US$28.6 billion!A myth in film history! 】

【Lin Xuan alone subverted the film industry】

[Epic movie, epic box office]

[First in film history! "Titanic" officially ends]

All kinds of news reports made the hearts of hundreds of millions of movie fans tremble.

"God! $28.6 billion at the box office?"

"Oh my god, it really scares people to death!"

"It's terrible."

"The box office of the previous No. 18 in film history was 10 billion U.S. dollars. At that time, I thought this box office was already an insurmountable peak. I didn't expect Lin Xuan to raise the record by [-] billion by himself! Such a box office, I am afraid five No one will be able to break it in ten years."

"Scary! Terrible!"

"As soon as "Titanic" is released at the box office, it is estimated that directors around the world will fall into despair, because they no longer have any hope of hitting the number one spot at the box office."

"..."

Directors from other countries are by no means desperate, and everyone doesn't know.

But in Hollywood, all the directors are really desperate.

somewhere.

Thirty-three directors including Gustav, Gerald, and Jia Aisi all arrived. Even though they had an important film in their hands that was being filmed, everyone put down their work and rushed over.

When the box office of "Titanic" came out.

The faces of the thirty-three directors all became extremely exciting.

There is a daze.

There is shock.

There is frustration.

There is loneliness.

After a long time, Gustav said: "The box office...lost."

Everyone was silent.

In fact, a few months ago, when "Titanic" swept the box office, everyone knew that they could no longer win the box office in this bet, but before the final box office came out, everyone still dared not face it. fact.

Until now, they had to admit it.

Pete was still unwilling: "Ferdinand's movie hasn't been released yet, maybe..."

Ferdinand coughed in embarrassment.

Don't take me with you bragging.

He interrupted Pete: "Well, although I am very confident in "Devil of Destiny 3", it is not bad if the box office of this movie can reach 15 billion, and the 15 billion US dollars must include China's box office. If only Counting the international box office, "Devil of Destiny 3" is estimated to have a peak of just over a billion dollars, which is incomparable."

These words are equivalent to Ferdinand admitting defeat.

Everyone is not feeling well.

They are the top directors in the world, who wasn't as proud as a big cock before this?Even the capital power of the eight major film companies had to be polite in front of them.But now, they joined forces and were actually defeated by Lin Xuan, and it wasn't an ordinary defeat, it was stepped on the ground and rubbed by the opponent.

Gustav said in a deep voice: "Okay, it's okay to lose at the box office, just don't lose your confidence. And there will be Oscars in the future, I don't believe it, Lin Xuan's movie can also go against the sky at the Oscars."

commercial film.

The higher the box office, the worse the Oscars will be. This is common sense!
No one can break this common sense!

……

……

Hollywood Directors Guild.

The crowd looked solemn.

The bearded man said: "The box office of "Titanic" has been confirmed. The global box office is 28.6 billion. Even if the Chinese market is not included, its international box office is as high as 21.5 billion US dollars. With this achievement, it is impossible for a Hollywood director to break its record. Also That is to say, after word of mouth, Lin Xuan once again won the showdown at the box office. This is not good news for us."

"And Oscar."

The blond man said solemnly: "As long as Oscar loses, Lin Xuan will also fail."

The bearded man smiled wryly: "The Oscars haven't started yet, so there's no need to discuss this matter for now. Now we may have to worry about another thing."

Everyone in the conference room was surprised.

"Worried about something else?"

"whats the matter?"

"Did Lin Xuan do something wrong again?"

Many people's hearts skipped a beat. Now that Lin Xuan is mentioned, everyone feels a little apprehensive.This Huaxia young man is so weird that it is difficult for them to see through.

The bearded man said: "Since the release of "Titanic", this movie has almost overturned all the records in the film industry, especially when it was released for five months, the influence of the movie has almost reached A limit. Then, Lin Xuan's status in the hearts of movie fans began to rise infinitely. I have learned that in many movie fan groups and fan groups around the world, many people have already regarded Lin Xuan as the greatest director of the new era. Even A large number of movie fans have developed a distorted love and admiration for Lin Xuan, thinking that Lin Xuan is the future of the movie industry..."

Listening to the bearded man's words, everyone frowned at first, and then their faces showed seriousness.

Obviously, these people realized that something was wrong.

The bearded man continued: "In the international arena, Hollywood to a certain extent represents the highest level of the film industry, the best director, the best actors, and the strongest team... But now, Lin Xuan uses a movie Defeating the collaboration of the best directors in Hollywood, even if he could not win in the Oscar selection, it is equivalent to Lin Xuan single-handedly overthrowing Hollywood. What does this mean?
Meaning: Hollywood's image of invincibility will collapse in the hearts of many fans.In this way, Hollywood's word-of-mouth will be greatly reduced in the hearts of movie fans, and then a series of negative reactions will be generated.

Many movie fans have even warned that if we dare to drive Lin Xuan out of Hollywood, they will become black fans of Hollywood and never watch Hollywood movies again in their lives.Although this voice is very small, once it is hyped up by the media, the consequences will be disastrous. "

A middle-aged man frowned: "Does this mean that we are already riding a tiger? If Lin Xuan loses, we will drive him out of Hollywood, which may cause Hollywood's image to be greatly damaged, and even its reputation will collapse. If Lin Xuan If he wins, we can only watch his second world take root in Hollywood and become a hidden danger?"

The bearded man smiled bitterly: "It seems that it is indeed the case."

Hearing the bearded man's words, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.

special.

What is this!

Originally, it was a safe bet, and it was even a gamble where they lured Lin Xuan into the bait at the beginning, but it turned out to be this embarrassing scene?

"What should I do?"

"We can't retreat."

"Yes, Lin Xuan must leave Hollywood!"

"Lin Xuan hasn't officially taken root in Hollywood yet, so he's so fierce. If his second world really comes in, will there still be a way for our North American film company to survive?"

"But once Hollywood's word of mouth collapses, what will happen to the losses?"

"Neither advancing nor retreating, is Lin Xuan a devil?"

There was a lot of discussion in the conference room.

Even quarreled.

Some people say that Lin Xuan must be determined to leave Hollywood.

Some people say that it is better to take a step back and let Lin Xuan stay.

No one can convince anyone.

Finally, the bearded man said in a deep voice: "The matter has come to this point, we have no way out, otherwise it will be a global joke. Especially Lin Xuan's wolfish ambition, we can't feed on tigers. So we must be firm in our determination to let him leave Hollywood. As for Hollywood's word-of-mouth issue, movie fans are the easiest to forget. When a few blockbuster movies are released, they will obediently come back to watch the movie no matter how much they scold.

And there is another most important problem: without Hollywood's resources, no matter how powerful Lin Xuan is, he has no room to play. He is equivalent to a tiger whose teeth have been pulled out, so there is nothing to fear.

In the end, I said: Be firm in your heart and expel Lin Xuan! "

The crowd nodded.

Obviously agree with the bearded man's statement.

But soon, the man wearing gold-rimmed glasses frowned and said: "If Lin Xuan loses in the Oscar competition, then we can drive him out of Hollywood, and we can even mobilize public opinion so that Lin Xuan's fans have nothing to say. But in case What if Lin Xuan also won the Oscar?"

The bearded man raised his eyebrows: "Oscar, how could Lin Xuan win?"

The man with gold-rimmed glasses: "What if?"

The bearded man swears: "There is no chance! In the century-old history of the Oscars, there has never been a movie that exploded at the box office and was favored by the Oscar judges! Can he win? What will he win?"

The man with gold glasses spread his hands: "In the century-old history of movies, there has never been a movie with a box office of more than two billion dollars, but Lin Xuan did it too?"

"..."

The bearded man almost spat out a mouthful of blood, and he gave him a hard look.

What the hell, are you finding fault?
Can the box office be the same as the Oscars?

He collected himself and repeated again: "Oscar, it's impossible!"

Fine.

The man with golden glasses had no choice but to give up. In fact, he also felt in his heart that no matter how defiant Lin Xuan was, it was impossible for him to sweep the Oscars after winning word of mouth and box office.

The group of Oscar judges never care how much your movie has at the box office or how good your word of mouth is.They are a group of guys who are incomprehensible to outsiders, judging by their own standards in their own world.

And the man with golden glasses has also seen "Titanic". In his opinion, this movie is a standard commercial movie. Although it has many excellent features, it is not deep enough. It is basically impossible to sweep the Oscars.

just.

For some reason, the man with the gold-rimmed glasses felt a little uneasy all the time.

……

……

second world.

Lin Xuan immediately knew the final box office of "Titanic".

"$28.5 billion?"

There was a smile on the corner of his mouth, showing a satisfied expression.

This box office is much higher than the previous life. Of course, the biggest reason is the difference of the times and the huge contribution of China's box office.

It cannot be said that the box office is higher than that of the previous life, which means that the movies he made are better than Cameron.

Because the two are not comparable at all.

If the "Titanic" in the previous life was released more than twenty years later, no one can be sure how high the box office will be.

Lin Xuan's heart was ups and downs, and he calmed down after a while.

Although the movie release of "Titanic" has ended, he knows that the reaction caused by this movie is far from over, and it may become bigger and bigger as time goes by.

office.

Ma Bin also looked excited: "The release of "Titanic" has brought great benefits to our company.

First of all, this movie makes your status in the film industry soar, and your status even exceeds that of many legendary directors.Many fans and fans have already regarded you as the number one director in film history.

Secondly, the popularity of the movie has made the Second World Film Company famous and gathered a large group of loyal fans.

Again, let Second World Films lay a solid foundation.Nowadays, there are many artists and backstage teams who come here especially, and are ready to join us.

The long-term benefits brought by these three points, in my opinion, even far exceed the box office revenue. "

Speaking of it.

Ma Bin paused, and then continued: "Mr. Lin, the situation of Second World Film Company is very good now. Under such circumstances, I think that even if we don't join Hollywood in the future, we can develop into a world-class film company."

When he said this, there was seriousness in his eyes.

Because in his opinion, it is best to develop alone. In Hollywood, their Huaxia company is destined to be squeezed out by other companies and even the directors' union.

Lin Xuan smiled: "Although I also want to develop independently, we still cannot do without Hollywood. Once we leave it, our resources, technology, and equipment will not be able to keep up, and we will not be able to make good movies. This is inevitable. Controversial facts. Therefore, no matter how difficult the other side is for us, no matter how high the price is, I must let the Second World take root in Hollywood.

It doesn't take too long, five years... at most five years, is enough. "

Lin Xuan extended a slap.

"Five years is enough for the Second World Film Company to grow up, learn their technology, acquire their equipment, acquire their experience, and can pull enough Chinese artists to Hollywood to exercise. After five years, we Then you can break away from Hollywood and be self-reliant!"

This is Lin Xuan's real purpose.

When his Second World Films grew enough to grow independently of Hollywood, he wouldn't stay there even if the Hollywood Directors Guild would kneel down and beg him.

Ma Bin was shocked: "Boss Lin, I understand."

Lin Xuan asked, "Is there anything else?"

Ma Bin said: "Yes.

First things first: After the release of "Titanic", the base where you filmed the film began to officially open to the public.At present, many tourists at home and abroad are very interested in that place, and it should become a good tourist attraction in the future.This is another profit point for the company.

The second thing: the copyrights of several variety shows you produced, including "The King of Masked Singer", "Run, Brother", "Where Are We Going, Dad", "Extreme Challenge", etc., have been sold all over the world Went for a nice price.Now these variety shows can be broadcast in more than [-] countries and regions around the world, and the follow-up copyright income is also a considerable amount.

The third thing: After the games "Yuan Shen" and "Glory of the King" became popular all over the world, the two games "Call of Duty" and "PUBG Mobile" have also launched public betas one after another, and the response has been equally good.There is a high probability that the four games will become the company's largest profitable project in the next few years, so I plan to expand the game department again and launch other games with all my strength.

The fourth thing: "Transformers" began to quickly form industrial value after the official launch of the peripheral IP industry, and it is expected that the future profit point will not be small.Although it is not as good as games, it is estimated that the annual profit of tens of billions is not a problem.

The fifth thing: Guo Qi has already started to form the "Transformers 2" team, but he is inexperienced and under a lot of pressure, so it is expected that the official shooting will take some time.Longman, Byron and others started to study the scripts after receiving the detailed scripts of several of your films. "

Lin Xuan nodded secretly.

These four major events are all ongoing events in the Second World.

Especially the latter three major events, which can be called the foundation of the second world, are growing stronger every day.

Everything is going well.

One month.

two months.

In a blink of an eye, three months later.

On this day, when Lin Xuan was working in the office.

bell bell~~~
The phone on the desk rang.

Nowadays, unless it is relatives and friends around him, few people can know his mobile phone number.If outsiders want to find him, they have to call the customer service department of Second World. The customer service department is transferred to the president's office, and the president's office is then transferred to Lin Xuan's office.

He quickly picked up the phone: "Hello?"

A sweet girl's voice sounded inside: "Mr. Lin, I received a call from the North American Oscar Organizing Committee. The other party wants to talk to you. May I transfer the call to you?"

Oscar Organizing Committee?

Lin Xuan's heart jumped violently, several thoughts flashed through his mind, and he smiled at the same time: "Come in."

Oscar.

It's finally here!
