Chapter 660 1 Blockbuster

The much-anticipated movie was finally released in North America on May 5th. The English name is a Latin word. Lin Tao Ping An couldn't understand the meaning. Fortunately, Taylor understood a little bit. The translation into Chinese means endless possibilities.

To put it bluntly, the plot of "Unlimited Possibilities" is indeed a bit old-fashioned. It is a typical American hero and hero's love, with strong contrasting villains, supporting roles with distinctive personalities, and even soy sauce characters are impressive.There are very few people in the world who can achieve this kind of guidance skills, and Zhao Anhua is one of them.

Of course, most of the credit for this is due to him, and the rest is due to the due diligence of the actors and the high level of post-editing. There is no redundancy in the camera switching, and it is as coherent as flowing water. Even the crew members couldn't help applauding after watching it for the first time.

At the midnight premiere of the film's official release, the average attendance rate of more than 6000 screens across the country was as high as 70%. According to the survey, half of the people went for Zhao Anhua, and the other half because of Taylor. More than 90%, enough to see their influence in the United States.As for actors such as Lin Tao, it is normal that no one pays attention to them. After all, they are all Asian faces. For Americans, they are still not as beautiful as Taylor.

The box office on the first day was quickly counted. Because it was a weekend, the attendance rate was extremely high, and the show was almost sold out. In addition to the box office of the midnight premiere, it broke through the 4000 million US dollar mark. It's only the first day of the weekend.

On the same day, Infinity scored as high as 9.1 points on the imdb website, a very high praise rate. As for the loss of 0.9 points, it was because the leading actor was Lin Tao, the supporting actress was Feng Mengna, and there was a Chinese dancer. Almost all the word-of-mouth was consistent. I think even if their acting skills are very good, there are too many Asian faces in a Hollywood movie. If the actor is replaced by Tom Cruise or Leonardo DiCaprio, the score should be at least 9.5 up.

The old-fashioned plot did not dispel the enthusiasm of the American people for watching movies. In fact, the plots of blockbuster action movies every year are basically the same. It's just old wine in new bottles.

As the projection technology of theaters becomes more and more advanced, imax has already become the standard configuration. Coupled with the Dolby Atmos technology that surpasses 7.1 channels, the audience is almost immersive, and the left ear can hear gunshots. At the same time, the right ear can also hear the roar of the accelerator during drag racing, which can be called a visual and auditory feast.

In recent years, Zhao Anhua's movies have never disappointed the American people. They are all classics. Among the top 50 movies in imdb evaluation, he alone occupies 7, and the 9th in the top ten is also the same. It was the movie he directed the year before last.The word-of-mouth accumulated from this has become an absolute appeal and a guarantee for the box office.

In fact, before the filming started, from Paramount to MGM, as well as 21st Century Fox, Warner Brothers and other film companies, they all offered Zhao Anhua an olive branch in order to cooperate, but unfortunately he finally chose the little-known Phantom The studio, but it was precisely this that allowed the Phantom Studio to officially enter the sights of Hollywood bigwigs, wondering what kind of relationship it was that made Zhao Anhua give up the mature market of their company.

It wasn't until after the movie was released that they really discovered that even if Zhao Anhua didn't go through them, he could still get as many as 6000 screens, and more than half of them were in first-tier cities, third-tier or even rural movie theaters. It will definitely exceed this number, and from this, I can truly appreciate Zhao Anhua's strong appeal, and it is definitely not a bragging.

Among the actors, Taylor's performance in the movie is amazing. One of the scenes in which she is wearing a backless dress to seduce the villain is a classic. Charming and sexy, the moment she took off her dress, she did not use a substitute at all, and directly showed her graceful figure in front of the audience. When it was put in this section, almost all the movie theaters heard a lot of gasps, among them 80% of the voices are from male audiences. Taylor's figure is too fatally attractive to men, and the remaining 20% ​​are voices of envy, jealousy and hatred from women. How can she have such an enviable figure!

The same reaction happened to Lin Tao. In the part where he followed the villain by the sea, Lin Tao showed off his figure, beautiful mermaid line, dazzling and amazing completely symmetrical eight-pack abs, which is simply the most perfect sample of abs.His figure has strong muscles and looks very well-proportioned. It is definitely not the shape obtained by training with equipment.

At this point, almost all women exclaimed, they have no resistance to such a figure.As men, more male audiences are very silent, envy is certain, jealousy is also certain, touching the fat on their belly, thinking about how to cultivate such a figure that attracts women's attention!

In any case, the box office on the first day of the film was really astonishing, but that was the world's currency in dollars, not renminbi.

After the weekend, the box office began to drop sharply. This is also a normal thing. After all, it is a weekday, and audiences can only have time to watch movies at night.

According to the box office statistics for a week, "The Possibilities" topped the list with a box office of 2.2 million US dollars, and this is only the first week.

Such a high box office is also due to the fact that there are no heavyweight blockbusters in the same period. In fact, it is not without it. Paramount invested nearly 2 million in a sci-fi movie that was originally scheduled to be released on May 5th. "Endless Possibilities" was going to be released on the 18th, so the release was postponed for half a month, just to avoid the limelight.

This is something that can’t be helped. Well-known Hollywood directors are those few. Spielberg has devoted himself to practicing Buddhism in the past two years, and Cameron is playing with the high technology of digital photography, ready to shock the world again.

These two top directors are no longer there, and the other first-line directors are either resting or working hard to shoot, but they haven't caught up with the schedule. Naturally, "Endless Possibilities" has no rivals.

While creating a high box office, "No Possibilities" has a good reputation. The score on imdb has always been around 9 points. It dropped to 8.9 points for a few days, and was later pushed up by fans of Taylor and Zhao Anhua.

In the second week, the box office was even more blowout, reaching an astonishing 3.1 million US dollars, and the combined two weeks reached a box office of 5.5 million US dollars. This kind of money-absorbing ability has even envied Warner Bros. Many movies with an investment of more than 2 million yuan may not be able to reach this figure at the box office in the United States, and this is only the two-week box office.

Under normal circumstances, under the premise of not hitting the schedule, it will be released for at least one and a half months, that is, nearly 50 days, and then it will gradually be released from the big theaters in first-tier cities, but will continue to be shown in theaters in second- and third-tier or even rural areas. Not bad for a multi-million-dollar box office every week.

Therefore, the box office in the first month of release is very important and plays a decisive role, and the rest is just icing on the cake.

"Endless Possibilities" is now in a profitable state, and Phantom Studio is completely a private studio, that is to say, the income from this investment belongs entirely to Lin Tao.Of course, there is Zhao Anhua's 15% of the box office share. He did not take the film salary, but took the method of taking a cut, which shows how confident he is in his films.

Taylor's salary is 3500 million US dollars, and there is also a 7% box office share. Seeing that the box office has reached 5 million in two weeks, I can't even close my grins.

The other actors basically have fixed remuneration, which is less than 1000 million when added together, not to mention Lin Tao himself. The cost of promoting the company, and at least 30% of the box office revenue is my own, so why worry about having no money?

The box office in the third week was only 2 million, which began to show a downward trend, and the box office in the fourth week rushed up again, reaching 2.6 million, because the first-tier theaters will soon be offline movies.

For a whole month, the domestic box office in the United States reached 10.1 billion US dollars, which completely shocked the entire Hollywood. Which movie had the highest domestic box office last time, it seems to be Iron Man 3, which reached an astonishing 8.9 million.But it was a sci-fi film after all, and the cost alone was 3.5 million, while "Infinite Possibilities" was just an action film, and it became the first film in the history of local films to exceed 10 billion US dollars, which is simply a miracle.

The overwhelming publicity of major newspapers and media directly resulted in Zhao Anhua being pushed into the ranks of top directors like Cameron and Spielberg. Taylor earned nearly 1 million US dollars with a single movie, not to mention The explosive growth of Lin Tao's popularity in the United States has also driven the sales of Taylor's clothing brand.For a time, Taylor became the biggest winner of the whole movie.

Han Yanxuan, who played the role of a unique Chinese dancer, was even invited to perform on Broadway. You must know that Broadway is the temple of American opera, and those who can perform here are basically "actors".

Feng Mengna's sweet, cute and slightly playful appearance has won her a lot of fans. You must know that Americans are always "face-blind" to Asians. It is absolutely impossible for them to remember Asian faces without some characteristics.

An "Endless Possibilities" continues Zhao Anhua's mythology - making one hit and one hit with a group of characters, and being named "the most star-making director" by the New York Times, can be described as both fame and fortune.

This is only the results in the United States. At the same time that "Infinite Possibilities" is enjoying great scenery, more than 40 countries around the world have purchased the copyright. The fastest is Korean Island. It is said that it will be officially released at the end of June. Need to wait until early July.
