Halo of cheating in the entertainment industry

Chapter 267 Rise in North America

"sht we fell for that group of Chinese people, we wasted our precious time and seats on such a damn movie"

Powell was furious, his jaw twisted sharply, the bleakness of "Source Code" made him burst into anger, and he cursed Zu Li over and over again in his heart, cursing this liar who cheated his money and feelings.

The bosses of many other theaters are also cursing Liguang Entertainment and "Source Code", because at present, the performance of this movie is really bad. The movie released on May 5 will be released on May 20. The total box office only reached a measly $5, which is really disappointing.

What they value is only the box office data, and they don't pay attention to the word-of-mouth of the movie.

Otherwise, they will find that although the current box office figures of "Source Code" are dismal, after watching "Source Code", the audience is almost full of praise, and at the same time they start to say to their relatives and friends: "That is a good movie. The movie...you should go see it."

"Parallel world...source code...dead man's light bulb...so cool"

These people also began to spare no effort to promote to their relatives and friends. After all, in the United States, movies have the same status as TV dramas in China. Watching movies is a common thing, and many people are happy to enjoy movies with each other.In this way, although the current box office data of "Source Code" is bleak, it has a certain increase, and this increase is not small.

It’s just that if the box office continues to develop like this, it’s far from being possible to make any breakthroughs. In the end, at most, it can receive a 600 million US dollars hastily. Compared with the Asian box office of "Code", this figure is really disheartening and uninteresting.

When Su Li learned of the distraught data sent by the Americans, he also felt a little unwilling.He really didn't expect that the original "Source Code" could earn a high box office in the United States, and his own "Source Code" was so bad.However, if "Source Code" continues like this, even if his next film "Inception" is praised by many people, is there any American theater chain willing to show his film?

This is a huge failure. If "Source Code" dies like this, it may directly lead to the loss of Zuli's entire future plan

Su Li calmed himself down, he needed to think about this matter.

It's just that he thought a lot about it himself, and discussed a lot with other people in the company, but things didn't turn around much. It was only on May 5 that the North American box office of "Source Code" broke through 24 million U.S. dollars. .

This speed is completely different from Zuli's expectations. He even heard the angry roar of several American partners: "Listen, man... I don't think I will play any of your company's movies anymore."

The prospect of "Source Code" is worrisome, which is a fatal blow to Zu Li's future film plans, and he is also a little helpless. If "Source Code" continues like this, his "Inception" is likely to have no living space in the United States. Without the desired effect of "Source Code", the release of "Inception" may only be one year. A bunch of jokes... After thinking about the consequences of "Source Code" being too bad, Su Li was really uneasy.

Powell's attitude towards him was also quite bad. The American was full of impatience and anger after talking to him once or twice. Although Su Li also had anger in his heart, he couldn't let it out. After all, they were the ones who had a problem.

Such a day will soon come to May 5th. Although "Source Code" still has a slight increase in attendance - word of mouth can often affect many people's choices, "Source Code" still has some stamina.But even so, the box office figures were still shabby. At this time, Zu Li really experienced the difficulty of a film opening the American market.  …

He also knew some deep feelings about Zhang Yimou's choices, and he also felt some of his actions.

The film did see some box-office gains on the 26th, thanks to two friends of Zuli, Kobe Bryant and Chris Paul, who touted Source Code on their blogs. The number of fans of the two is quite large, and many people also want to watch movies made by idols.

"Man, this is a very good movie. I think you can find the magical space-time problem in it, which is fascinating." Paul's words made many fans interested in this movie, and Kobe also used similar words to say Attract your fans.

With the help of two superstars, "Source Code" surpassed 26 million US dollars in box office for the first time on the 100th, which finally made those tycoons who were frowning a little relieved-from now on Look, although they still have to face Su Li and the others with a straight face, the statistic has finally improved somewhat.

On the 27th, those fans who were influenced by idols influenced more people around them, which made the box office on the 27th exceed 150 million US dollars.

"You should see that, it's nice, it's nice to see, Chris's is right."

"As I said, Kobe is a cautious person, he won't make bad movies, and "Source Code" is really a good movie."

…………

Similar words spread quickly among fans, and the box office also increased. When they saw this increase, those tycoons finally realized their mistakes: "This is a movie with strong stamina... Maybe we should invest more in publicity at that time. of."

It's just that it's too late to say that now. Although they regret it a little, it's too late to start publicity at this time.

Therefore, the most likely scenario for "Source Code" is to continue to grow the box office in this way. In the end, the box office figure may exceed more than 1000 million or even reach 2000 million US dollars... In this way, those tycoons will not be furious.

When he heard the data increase, Zu Li immediately expressed his gratitude to Kobe and Paul on the one hand, but on the other hand, he was still a little bit unwilling.

Although from the current point of view, this movie can achieve the effect expected by those American tycoons, but it is somewhat different from the effect I want.

What he wants is far more than that, but from the current point of view, it is really difficult for "Source Code" to become a hit in the United States, and he can only hope for the future.

It's just that no one knows whether "Inception" will usher in the same awkward situation as the current "Source Code", so Su Li is indeed very unwilling now.

It's just that if you are not reconciled, you can only accept it slowly. It is useless to rush this thing.

until a turning point occurs

--------

Zuli and the others must thank Robert Miller, the director of the US FB Bureau of Investigation. In April 2009, a serial murder case that shocked the world occurred in New York, USA.

The murder case involved a wide range, and the murderer was extremely brutal. He killed three people in a row within a week, causing panic among New Yorkers, and they were in constant panic.

It is said that this is a criminal with a high IQ, and the murder layout is quite strict. The police are really helpless, and fb is also involved in the investigation.

However, fb's investigation was also at a loss, and the situation became more and more panic. After a series of tests, he could only find out his motive for killing—to take revenge on the society, that's all.

There were still not many clues about that high-intelligence criminal until the end of May, but he had killed 7 people in total. This major case has not only caused a sensation in New York, but also spread throughout the United States.

The media also paid a lot of attention. The ordinary people in the United States paid a lot of attention to this big case. Everyone was paying attention to the good news on fb every day. Unfortunately, they didn't wait for it. So, the reporters flocked to it and finally found it. Robert Miller, director of fb, began to ask him about the specific progress.  …

Nearly 1000 million Americans watched the interview. Facing the picture, Miller seemed at a loss. He said: "This is a damn case... We should curse that vicious thug, he should be punished by God. maximum punishment."

So, the reporters became impatient, and hurriedly asked him about the progress of the specific case-who wants to hear your babbling, everyone knows that guy should be punished by God.

Miller wiped the sweat from his brow and said to the camera: "...so far, we still haven't made much progress. Instrument, this ugly guy can't escape"

"Source Code"?What is that? More than 1000 million Americans have heard the word, but just don't know what to say.

The reporter quickly asked this question on behalf of the public, God knows what this old man is thinking

"Sorry, Chief Miller, but we'd love to know what Source Code is."

Miller said: "That is a magical Chinese movie, which contains unimaginable means of solving crimes..."

enough is enough

There are at least 1000 million Americans who watch this program. After hearing Miller's complaints, almost everyone has a strong interest in "Source Code", which has magical means of solving crimes.

Americans are very curious, they are often eager to know what they don't know.

So, with the inadvertent help of Robert Miller, on May 5, many Americans ran into the cinema to see what the movie that Robert Miller was talking about was like.

"It is said that there is a way to solve the case... We have to see what is the thing that makes fb envious." Americans discussed with each other before going to the cinema.

What attracts everyone is curiosity, not the quality of the movie. Americans just walked into the movie theater one after another. On that day, in all the movie theaters showing "Source Code", the average attendance rate was as high as 78. Robert Miller I really didn't expect such a result.

Those movie fans who walked into the cinema to watch "Source Code" with curiosity were originally only full of curiosity about the means to solve the case, but as the protagonist gradually knew a lot of things from knowing nothing, they have completely fallen into the plot and the mysterious. I can't extricate myself from my creativity.

"Oh... this is awesome" some Americans shouted after finally seeing the long-awaited source code theory.

"That's cool. That's an interesting theory."

"The leading actor is very handsome, and the plot is also great." Everyone paid more and more attention to the plot, and even forgot some of their original intentions for going to the cinema.They felt a kind of heart-wrenching concern for everything that happened in the plot, so when the plot evolved to the point where the commander didn't want the hero to rest in peace, some roars in the cinema came and went:

"Damn he doesn't have that right"

"Ye (lead actor) should be rested in peace"

"He should go to hell" After seeing the female officer choose her sympathy, the audience also began to discuss.

"That's what it sounds like, man, and that's what he deserves."

"Go quietly to God..."

After that, there was the suffocating beauty of the hero and heroine before time collapsed. Some female audiences with rich tear glands began to cry: "My God, although this is beautiful, this is too cruel..."

Then, the plot turned upside down again, seeing the moment when a parallel universe was created, the movie theater was almost boiling

"That's what a perfect ending should look like."

"It is necessary for him to be happy"

"This ending is really perfect..." Everyone stood up and applauded, and the applause from all over the country sounded almost at the same time.  …

The Americans who walked out of the movie theater did not stop there. They really felt the charm of this good movie.Therefore, they began to promote it to the people around them, and at the same time, they also began to express their love for the movie by writing movie reviews and other methods.

"It's really a good-looking movie. It turns out that Chinese movies can be so good-looking. I saw a gorgeous world, a plot that I like, and Mr. Miller's incredible means of solving crimes... I have to say I should go to the cinema to see it again."

"Pretty good movie, what a pity I might have missed it if it hadn't been for Mr. Miller's words... I would have regretted it."

"Beautiful world view, strange plot, beautiful movements... The Chinese really impressed me this time."

"I've forgotten that I'm here to see how to solve a crime... I must say I've fallen in love with the leading man in the movie... He's so handsome and emotional."

"The handsome male lead in the movie is the director omg...it's amazing that he's only 21 years old, young and talented director and actor...I remember his name - l-su."

"A very talented director, but also magical kung fu, acting is also great...he should appear in front of us more"

…………

After May 5th, because of Robert Miller's heartfelt words, "Source Code" suddenly became popular overnight, like wildfire spreading across a withered wasteland, and the situation was unstoppable.

Just on May 5th, the box office of "Source Code" directly reached more than 29 million US dollars, reaching the single-day box office rankings.

To explain, I didn't say that "Inception" should be changed to hand-to-hand combat... I just added a little bit of hand-to-hand combat, on the one hand to use some advantages, on the other hand to save some investment.The original gun battle will not be changed too much, such as the essence of snow mountains and cities will not be changed.

The German test is going to take place in the afternoon... Sadly, the undefeated golden body who has not failed for three years is going to be a disaster, nn.
