  Chapter 315 314. Bounced tickets   The moment the giant wolf rushed out of the screen, Thomas Lee took a breath.

But soon, the giant wolf disappeared, everything returned to normal, and the colorful advertisements brought Times Square back to the busy street.

"Special effects?"

Thomas Lee remembered that this should be an application of screen special effects, augmented reality, and naked eye 3D, which can make people see three-dimensional on a flat screen Effect.

However, this kind of application is still relatively small, and it requires a certain amount of cooperation. Like just now, it is the best to play it after attracting everyone's attention.

I didn't expect Lu Yi to really lose money.   Thomas Lee couldn't believe it.

But he didn’t say too much. He knew very well that whether "Magic Tide" can really reach the box office of 2 billion US dollars depends largely on "Cry" and "Madman's Mouth". Evaluation of North America after the release.

Of course, Thomas Lee and the AMC theaters did not do anything such as suppressing Lu Yi, banning his movies, or putting them in unpopular times. No theater will keep money without making money. .

The time soon came to September, and "Cry" was officially released in North America.

Although film sources have flowed out on the Internet and other channels before this, many people are still waiting to go to the theater to watch it.

The box office of "Cry" in North America is pretty good, reaching close to three million dollars on the first day. Although it can't compare with those blockbuster movies, it is a niche horror and thriller, and it is a foreign movie. The results in North America have been extremely terrifying.

In the end, "Cry" was released in North America for a month and reached a box office of 40 million U.S. dollars. In the first week after it was released, the box office of "Cry" has been increasing, and every day is better than High the day before.

Thanks to the fermentation of word-of-mouth and the spread among youngsters, youngsters who like fresh and exciting rush to movies of this theme, and soon, in high schools and college campuses, Lu Yi's name He became a household name, and many people even began to look for his previous online movies and videos on the Internet.

In October, along with the long domestic holiday, "Mouth of the Madman" was released in North America. With the previous preparation, the box office of this film exceeded 5 million US dollars on the first day, and within a month During its release period, it reached a record box office of 98 million U.S. dollars.

This is the foreign box office record of domestic horror and thriller movies, and it has also made it one of the top three domestic movies in the overseas box office.

In famous overseas film forums, discussions about Lu Yi and these two films, as well as the "Magic Tide" announced in Times Square, have intensified.

[This **** is the real horror movie, brother, I'm not afraid of your jokes. I didn't dare to turn off the lights and sleep for several days after watching "Cry". This thing is so exciting! ]

[I am very grateful to Director Lu Yi. After watching "Mouth of the Madman", I went to the library to borrow a copy of "A Brief History of Time" and read it, but before that I stared at I fell asleep after reading the textbook in 3 minutes! ]

[Have you seen the trailer of "Magic Tide"? This movie seems to be completely different from the previous two movies. I am looking forward to this movie more and more. How can I get the time fast? I can’t wait until Christmas! ]

[It’s a wonderful feeling. The Chinese movies I’ve been exposed to before are those kung fu people who fly around wearing ancient clothes, but these two movies give me a very modern feeling. I can’t think of it. Modern movies in this country can be so interesting. I think I can look for other movies to see]

[First of all, I have watched the two films directed by Lu Yi, and secondly, I As a pure passerby, I am not very optimistic about the performance of "Magic Tide" because he is a director who specializes in horror and thriller movies, and the new film is obviously war. I doubt whether he can present such a large-scale story.]

[You guys are too exaggerated. Although I didn’t go to the cinema to watch these two movies, according to the trailer of "Magic Tide", I don’t think this movie will be so powerful. Are you all? The navy who paid for the movie theater, provide a contact method, and everyone who has money can make money together! 】

As an industry insider, Thomas Lee looked at Lu Yi's two films as miraculous performances, and his heart has been shaken.

Could Lu Yi's "Magic Tide" really reach the box office of 2 billion US dollars?

Just when he felt a little nervous, a message came from the media.

"Fatal Speed ​​11" will be postponed from the original Thanksgiving schedule to the Christmas schedule, and will meet "Magic Tide" head-on.

"Fatal Speed ​​11" is an action crime movie, famous for the racing scenes and popular action scenes between cities. With the explosion of the first few movies, the production cost is getting higher and higher. Recently This one even drove directly into the universe.

Although the protagonist’s motives have always been for his family, and then his family members died and lived, lived and died, making people complain, and increasingly outrageous driving skills are also criticized, but this Popcorn blockbusters are actually the mainstream in the European and American markets. Just let the audience watch them in the movie theater and don't care too much about logic.

When he saw this news, Thomas Lee’s first reaction was that "Fatal Speed ​​11" was about to collide with "Magic Tide"! ! !

The box office appeal of "Fatal Hour 11" is undoubtedly, after all, the series has also won one billion US dollars in box office. Even if the box office in the future is lower, 500 million US dollars is still stable. , Even more how, this movie is the finale of the series, announcing the official end of this more than ten-year series, and reasonable in every circumstance needs to be taken care of.

Moreover, this year’s Christmas schedule has some works by well-known directors. The bounce of "Fatal Speed ​​11" has made the already tight schedule more compact.

According to Thomas Lee’s knowledge, the first-day lineup provided by him for "Magic Tide" is 10%, which is already quite good for the introduction of movies, and "Fatal Speed ​​11" was originally on Thanksgiving. The schedule on the first day of the schedule exceeded 30%. Now that it is postponed to Christmas, I am afraid that the schedule of "Magic Tide" will be reduced to the limit.

Even though his boss Rek has seen the movie and thinks "Magic Tide" has great potential, the executives of the theater also value the box office appeal of the well-known sequel, and on the one hand, it is a steady profit. On one side is the unknown. Those shareholders who value their money more than their lives are definitely willing to adopt a more conservative strategy.

At the same time, there have also been statements such as "Fatal Speed ​​11" on the Internet that bounced tickets to snipe the "Magic Tide". The two represent the level of film production in their respective countries. Have a good fight in the family reunion festival.

On the Internet, fans have their own opinions and debates endlessly. As the center of public opinion, Lu Yi happened to attend the Yannan University Student Film Festival in November.
