I want to make headlines

Chapter 379 Explosion in the first week
On November 2011, 11, "Untouchable" starring Forrest Gump had its world premiere in Paris, France.

France is a big country in Europe, and its economic and cultural influence is among the best on the mainland. There are also a large number of overseas students and ethnic Chinese here in China.

People living in China and abroad are in two different states. People outside have seen whites and blacks for many years. They are naturally sensitive to the yellow skin that appears in front of them.

What's more, compared with other fields, there are fewer Chinese skin-colored people in the film and television industry-even, it should be said that there are much fewer.

From the moment Gan Jing appeared in Hollywood, his most loyal fans in the world are first of all Chinese living abroad. This is like the fact that even if a Chinese player does not perform much on the court, he still attracts many compatriots to watch the game and support him. .

Afterwards, Gan Jing first had a very good box office, then won Cannes Best Actor, and later was nominated for the Oscar for Best Actor.

It can be said that during the process of Gan Jing's gradual growth and influence, his yellow skin was an inspiration and a symbol to many people.

Gan Jing didn't know the motivation he brought to people in this regard, but those who were motivated and influenced would give feedback.

Sooner or later, it will come.

On this day, the film premiered, and the identity of a world-renowned Chinese actor first brought a first-level explosion to the box office of "Untouchable". Foreign students and Chinese in France poured into the cinema at the same time.

In the midnight show, when Gan Jing was gradually falling asleep, the audience who finished watching the movie left the theater one after another.

"Forrest Gump played really well."

"That's right, Forrest Gump is our actor, he is very good even in Hollywood."

"Do you think the soundtrack of this film is particularly good? I can hear Mozart and Chopin."

"Hey, Chopin, no matter how good he is, can't play Lao Tzu's sadness. But this film is really good. After watching it, I feel warm in my heart. There is nothing exciting, but the plain ones are quite interesting."

A student who was walking in front chatted with a friend, and suddenly turned around and shouted at most of the yellow-skinned compatriots who came out of the midnight show: "This is Forrest Gump's movie, everyone should go back and promote it more."

"Sure. It's not bad in itself!"

Many people responded one after another, and even more people disregarded the news and text messages distributed in the middle of the night - facebook, twitter, domestic QZone, Renren...all the channels they used were used.

The first thing the energetic student party did after returning to their residence was not to sleep, but to write shares and movie reviews on the French Internet.

——"Recommend the new film "Untouchable", pure film, pure friendship, beautiful and pure, giving people energy."

——"Although I was studying in France, I didn't like to watch French movies before. They are usually deep and true. My life is already very tired, and I just want to relax. This time, I wanted to support my compatriot Forrest Gump It’s a movie, but I was deeply moved after watching it. Omar Xi is optimistic, Philip is gentle, I really like this movie. I will give it a second shot!”

——"I also watched it, and the Chinese people's opinion is +1." This is a foreign movie fan.

——"I think this is a film that is not inferior to "The Artist", and it is worth recommending." "The Artist" is a local film that exploded in France this year, and is considered to be a strong contender for next year's Oscars.

The sharing in the early hours of the morning attracted the attention of some people, and by the next day, these posts mixed with media reports made more French natives notice the newly released film.

"Untouchable" was jointly distributed by French Gaumont Films and American Warner. The channels of these two companies should not be underestimated, and the scale of film promotion before the release has been well done.

The first wave of movie fans brought good feedback, and the content of the first wave of media reports was mostly positive, which attracted more people to watch movies in theaters.

Warm, pure, not harsh.

This is the intuitive feeling of movie fans after watching the movie regardless of other off-site factors.

In the final analysis, the box office of a film still has to be supported by its own quality. "Untouchable" has this confidence. The film itself is adapted from real events, with love but not rot, soft and sincere.

It can be said that this film covers almost all fan groups.

The second wave of feedback from fans who watched the movie and the lingering momentum made the French cinemas re-evaluate the benefits that "Untouchable" can bring, and silently increased the number of screens.

This creates a virtuous circle.

Good word of mouth brings good box office, good box office increases the number of screenings, and the number of screenings in turn helps the box office.

In just one week, no matter the French media or the film crew, everyone can clearly judge that the box office of "Untouchable" is going to explode!
"The box office raked in 1200 million euros in the first week! "

"Dark Horse Out, Forrest Gump Weekly Box Office Champion!" "

"Forrest Gump Goal: Over [-] Million Box Office in France! "

"Untouchable" triggered a movie-watching craze! "

"French theaters online increase the number of copies, Zhou Champion welcomes good news again! "

……

"Forrest Gump, it looks like your goal is about to be achieved..."

When director Olivier got the results feedback from the previous two days, he had a rough impression in his mind, but it was still unbelievable when the box office figures of the first week were actually put on his desk.

In the first week, 1200 million euros was broken. According to this trend, the goal of breaking [-] million is not a problem. Forrest Gump's eyes are really poisonous!
Faced with this achievement, even Gan Jing, who had worked in Hollywood's "2012", was also unbearably excited at this time, but the introverted oriental made him look much calmer.

"Director, we still have a global box office." Gan Jing said with a smile, "Since the response is so good, we need to urge the theaters to schedule more films. After the number of films scheduled in the future increases, this result will definitely be even better."

"Yes, yes, yes." Olivier sat or stood excitedly, with no thoughts in his head. He was stunned for a while and rushed out of the office as if crazy, and shouted from afar, "I Go find the publisher!"

Gan Jing stood alone in the office, shaking his head, the joy in his heart fully bloomed when he was alone.

1200 million euros in the first week, and this is only in France!

According to the general box office trajectory, after eight weeks, it easily exceeded [-] million!
The box office of France alone can meet Warner's passing goal. If the box office of other countries is added, then 1.5 million does not seem to be a difficult task!
Thinking of this, Andy, who received the box office record at the first time, already called.

The phone was connected, and there was a long silence.

"Forrest Gump, I didn't expect that." Andy finally recovered, took a deep breath and congratulated, "Congratulations on the box office success. Warner has already made a decision and will fully support your next year's Oscar."

The results of the first week here have just come out, and Warner immediately made a decision over there. This reaction can hardly be called unhappy.

Gan Jing was a little surprised by the decisiveness: "Warner is pretty good."

"No." Andy shook his head at the other end, "You are the one who is amazing."

This time, Andy was convinced, and Warner was also convinced.
