   Chapter 341 Why did I win? Why didn't I win!

   "Gift Crab! Oh Fake!"

   English is sometimes like this, it sounds like swearing words, but in fact they are expressing happy emotions.

   And some happy-sounding words, well, mostly express happy emotions.

   However, when a guy with a bald head looks very ugly, and even this guy who is not very good on weekdays, shouting such words...

   Well, no matter how bad his face is, he still smiles like a flower now.

   is probably expressing his happiness.

   A group of people gathered in White's bar again, drinking and chatting, shouting and shouting as if no one was there.

   Does this bald head still need to be said?

   Vin Diesel, when he saw the news of the box office, he went crazy.

   The others, Keanu Reeves, Jennifer, and many Chinese actors and Hongmen brothers who made great efforts in filming in the movie.

   Of course, there are also Sanada Hiroyuki and Fage.

   Even, there is this guy Ferranzes.

   In short, everyone is happy.

  What a surprise!

   "Fast and Furious 2" can achieve such a box office this time, which is really surprising!

   Then, what about Takeshi Iwata?

   "Hey, Iwata, you're not going to tell me, you already guessed the result in the morning."

This guy   Reeves took a bottle of beer, asked a question, and slammed with Takeshi Iwata.

   The two of them took a sip, and then both laughed.

   "What if I said, I didn't guess at all?"

  Isn’t guessing?

   Is this B-pack a bit big?

   "Hey! You brag!" Jennifer didn't believe it.

   As for Brother Fa and Wen Diesel, let alone the smiles on their faces.

   Only Sanada Hiroyuki is different.

   "What's the matter with you? How can you question Iwata-san so much?"

   In the view of Hiroyuki Sanada, Takeshi Iwata is definitely a super powerful person.

   Yes, that's the only way to describe it. In Japan, this kind of word is usually crowned on some religious figures.

  No way, as far as cults are concerned, the United States, South Korea, and Japan all have a lot of **** thieves.

  The United States will not talk about it here, all kinds of **** history, all kinds of big flickers are everywhere.

   Needless to say, as for Korea, you can only eat things thrown away by the United States. Of course, you can’t learn well, you must learn more bad ones.

   As for Japan...

   Japanese monks can drink and eat meat, marry wives and have children, so it is not unexpected that all kinds of monsters and ghosts come out to confuse the world.

   Also, isn't Takeshi Iwata still talking about the 'mysterious eastern power' in America?

   Sanada Hiroyuki This is also a joke, but it also has a part of sincerity.

   There are so many good films in this Christmas season, and we can win, this is too damn... Si Guoyi!

   So, can Iwata Takeshi give me a little explanation?

   "It's actually quite simple..."

   As soon as these words came out, everyone had a special feeling.

  Speaking in the international language: Takeshi Iwata is going to pretend again!

   But... well, it's just a small outfit.

   Not to mention, the explanation given by Takeshi Iwata is really not complicated.

  The first item is this year's film!

  Why is this the first one?

How obvious is   , because as long as you can open your eyes to the sky, you will have a little understanding of the future.

   That is, the North American box office trend from November last year to around January 1993.

  Then it can be completely concluded that North American film distributors and theater companies, you guys... outrageous!

   First of all, Iwata Takeshi really wants to affirm.

  The Hollywood movies in the early 1990s were really a golden age in the history of this planet’s movies. Too many classics were born in this era, and the movies in this era were diverse.

   The Hollywood movies of this era are countless times better than the later Hollywood movies that were pinched by superhero movies!

   But, with so many great films, so much great content, North American distributors and theatrical companies have all screwed up.

  As a director who graduated from a major, Takeshi Iwata certainly knew that the film "Aladdin" was actually the box office champion in 1992.

   "Home Alone 2" is the second place.

   The translated "The Hero of the Sea of ​​Righteousness", which was translated too faithfully and elegantly, ranked fifth!

   And some highly anticipated films like A Christmas Carol, Toy Corps, and Arrivals, in fact, have been terrible at the box office.

   Let’s put it this way, Take Iwata remembers the classic movie “Scent of a Woman”, which grossed around $60 million at the box office.

   Those movies with strong Christmas elements did not exceed this data.

   So, the theater chain did not assign a good schedule to a good movie... The 'good' here is of course the box office.

   It seems that "Smell the Fragrance and Know a Woman" was scheduled for the beginning of December, while "The Hero of the Sea of ​​Righteousness" was better and was scheduled for the middle of the year.

   This has created a situation. In 1992, Hollywood actually produced not bad movies, and there were many classics.

  For example, "Nuns Are Crazy", "Bodyguard" and "Lethal Weapon 3" in the summer season have achieved very good box office, all of which are over 100 million.

   However, if look at the final summary.

   Only "Aladdin" broke the $200 million mark this year.

   In fact, this data is not outstanding, it is just over 210 million. Fortunately, the global box office has won 400 million, which is a bit of face.

  The conclusion is that in the current North American film market, in terms of distribution companies and theater chains, they still do not have a good grasp of this market.

   goes a little deeper, they don't really know what kind of movies fans want to see.

   Maybe this is a bit too much, but it's true, because fans are actually growing, and everyone's appreciation is changing.

   So, how did Takeshi Iwata explain this?

   Of course he wouldn't say it, I knew that the guys in the theater were idiots, so I found a gap and seized the opportunity.

   Takeshi Iwata said it very cleverly, he said directly, the theater company does not really understand the current fans.

   This time he became taller.

  The second article, just following the above topic.

   In the end, what kind of movies do North American movie fans like now?

  Iwata Takeshi's statement is also very simple, and Li Jufu.

  What kind of movies do North American movie fans like?

   In fact, you can see it by looking at this year.

   What movie was popular before?

   "Nuns Are Crazy", "Bodyguard", "Lethal Weapon 3", by the way, there is also a very popular movie, "Instinct".

   It was the aunt of Sister Stone who later appeared in this movie. This woman succeeded in getting rid of her, but the woman's brain was controlled by something, and what she said was not human.

   What happened later will not be mentioned.

   Just watch these movies, these are the movies that are in the limelight right now.

   Do you feel anything?

   is already very clear, it is entertainment, just want to watch popcorn movies.

   "Nuns Are Crazy" is just funny, not to mention "Bodyguard", this film has been criticized by many film critics for being incapacitated. This plot is simply too speechless.

   is simply Whitney Houston and Kevin Costner, the two top stars at the box office.

   As for "Lethal Weapon 3" and "Instinct"... To put it bluntly, Hollywood movies these days are the same as later web articles.

  Shuangwen can only sell well!

   Then, based on the above two points, don’t you understand.

   "Fast and Furious 2" This is a cool movie, this is a popcorn movie!

  When North American movie fans get tired of the Christmas-flavored feast in the Christmas season, what will they choose?

   is naturally such a cool film, a scene is very good-looking, and it doesn’t seem like a brain-tackling movie, and the plot is not so cliché.

   So, of course, Takeshi Iwata had enough confidence that he believed early on that he would be successful.

   As for other things, of course, it is also because of the original box office results of the movie "Fast and Furious 2".

   Indeed, the original film did not achieve much success at the box office, in the final analysis it was a small loss.

   But after all, this movie has continued its previous popularity, and many fans still bought it.

   That is to say, the current Takeshi Iwata also took advantage of this, and he knew that fans would support this second film because of the previous first film.

   plus a 'small' dot.

   "Mr. Keanu Reeves, I must say, you are indeed handsome, and you have attracted a lot of audiences for our movie."

   As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter.

  I want to understand, because Keanu Reeves also had a very good performance in the previous "Four Hundred Years".

   Saying that, Dracula in this movie, also known as the original vampire, is played by Gary Oldman.

   This guy's acting skills are really amazing, so powerful that it's hard to imagine that this could be him.

   Takeshi Iwata's "explanation", he said everything he could say anyway.

   Mainly because he has that powerful advantage, so, seize the opportunity in the film and the psychology of the fans.

   It was an accidental victory this time.

   As for the box office…

   The low-budget horror film "Happy Death Day" has already earned more than $50 million at the box office.

   Don't underestimate this box office performance, according to the normal sorting, this should be able to enter the top 30 this year.

   And "Smell the Fragrance and Know a Woman", a movie that is considered a classic, has only a box office of more than 60 million.

   So, what about this "Happy Death Day" plus "Fast and Furious 2"?

   "Ha! The box office exceeded $100 million!"

   Vin Diesel is a real flatterer.

   Well, Takeshi Iwata also understands in his heart that this guy's background is indeed inspirational enough, but his character does have problems.

  In my memory, when I worked with Dwayne Johnson on the "Vegetable Chicken" series, this big bald head exposed a lot of character.

   The funniest thing is that this guy actually posted a photo of him and the giant stone together, and the size is bigger than the giant stone.

   It is true that the beauty is played to understand.

   However, the current Takeshi Iwata is still...use it if he can, and this guy is so good at making rainbow farts.

   So, it’s fine.

   But in fact, Takeshi Iwata thinks this is the outcome in terms of box office.

   "Actually, the next key is the era of DVD, the video tape market is about to undergo a major reshuffle!"

   It turned out that this was his real purpose.

  The technological innovation of the videotape market, if Iwata Takeshi can seize this opportunity and develop DVD in North America.

  Then, he has the money... the money is just like that, the key is the future, the future!

   It will probably be on the same scale as the original Netflix.

  Iwata Takeshi said this, everyone is happy of course, but what is the way of doing this DVD?

   Of course many people don't know, but Takeshi Iwata has already prepared.

   "Ferranzes, I need you now. I hope you can provide me with enough help about the mafia."

   "Ah... OK!"

   Ferranzes didn't expect him to get involved so quickly.

  Iwata Takeshi is this a new movie?

   Everyone cast a suspicious look, wondering what he was going to shoot.

   And what Takeshi Iwata said this time was, "I want to do TV dramas."

  A film director making a TV series?

   Probably no one will know now, this is actually the change that will take place in Hollywood in the future
