Chapter 1148

Name:Hollywood Hunter Author:Just Do
From being selected last year to now, for more than a year, Li Youhu's maiden work has a feeling of being called out by the girls of Guofeng Art Troupe.

Because of Li Youhu's luck, Wei Shencha and other seven girls in the screening hall are somewhat complicated.

With these thoughts in mind, the girls' viewing attitude is inevitably more contradictory than that of other audiences on the scene, with a bit of scrutiny in their expectation.

However, when the film "how much does that sell at the box office?"

"Who knows, there must be tens of millions."

"It's like the cost is 15 million dollars?"

"It's not just North America, Europe and China. In a word, it must be very profitable."

When the two girls were discussing in their apartment, the media opinions about crouching tiger, hidden dragon also spread rapidly on the new day. After all, more than 100 media from TV, newspapers, Internet and other platforms were invited at the premiere last night. After all, as long as the public pays a little attention to the video information, they can't escape the news brainwashing of Crouching Tiger, hidden dragon.

"Crouching Tiger, hidden dragon, a new work nominated by the best director Oscar winner, premiered in New York. The audience spontaneously applauded many times and the response was enthusiastic."

"Martin Scorsese asked Ang Lee how to shoot the wonderful special effects of the film at the premiere

"Jack Cheng and kit Lee, two Chinese male stars, joined hands to support the film."

"Roger Albert praised crouching tiger, hidden dragon as Ang Lee's self transcendence."

"The background is declassified. The heroine of Crouching Tiger, hidden dragon is from Guofeng Art Troupe."

“……”

“……”

In just one day, many people knew that an excellent Oriental film was about to be released, and the film scored 9.7 points after comprehensive media evaluation, which also made more people have the idea of buying tickets.

However, after the fermentation of public opinion on Thursday and the arrival of Friday, some viewers once again found that the first week of the film had only 143 screens in several core cities, such as New York and Los Angeles.

With so much hype, many people can't buy tickets at the first time.

It's cheating.

Naturally, this is also the deliberate arrangement of danielis's entertainment.

In the final analysis, "Crouching Tiger, hidden dragon" is a literary film after all. After so many years of exploration, Hollywood has already summed up a set of progressive long-term distribution mode for the literary film distribution, which is to first click on the film and then gradually expand the scale of the film.

Although the award season is the best time for this distribution mode, it is also effective in other periods.

Simon is very clear about the box office potential of Crouching Tiger, hidden dragon. Like some other films, he personally intervened and directly spread it on a large scale. In fact, it's no problem. However, the reason why he didn't do it again this time is mainly to maintain the fixed distribution mode of literary films.

More importantly, there is also the intention to gradually let danilisi entertainment go and let the company operate more and more on its own.

If we want to achieve this goal, we must set rules.

Otherwise, if you think that any film can sell well, you will break the rules of distribution, and it will be your own company that will lose sooner or later.

On the other hand, danilisi Entertainment's current strong distribution strength can also accurately and flexibly adjust the film's subsequent release strategy, just like crouching tiger, hidden dragon. Now that the word of mouth has been established, it only needs one week's screening, and more than 1000 screens can be arranged the next week, and even more follow-up films can be rapidly increased, so as to maximize the box office potential of the film Let's go.

Simon didn't attend the after party for the New York Premiere of Crouching Tiger, hidden dragon, as Gu guessed.

On July 23, Irene Lauder again gave birth to a boy, Simon's 10th child, whose name has long been given, Noah westero.

And then there's Lin su.

Because Irene was not in a stable mood before and after the birth, Simon was always with her in the next few days, so he didn't have time to pay attention to other women, and even put off a lot of work.

Hollywood, on the other hand, is still keeping a close eye on the summer season of 1997.

The key, of course, is the box office.

With the release of Crouching Tiger, hidden dragon on July 25, the box office of the past week from July 18 to July 24 also came out.

Roland Emmerich, who started painting on July 4, still leads the way in directing the blockbuster "independence day.".

After the box office of 91.07 million in the first week set a record in 1997, the box office of "Independence Day" in the second week was even better than that of "tornado" in the situation of hot word-of-mouth and lack of competition, with a drop of only 23%. The revenue of the next week was still as high as $70.12 million. In the past three weeks, independence day's decline widened slightly to 33% and closed at another $46.98 million.

In three weeks, the $90 million blockbuster's cumulative box office quickly exceeded 200 million to $208.17 million.

It's overwhelming.The second place on the list is no longer danielis Entertainment's other films, but Fox's new film "regeneration man" on July 18.

It's a rambling movie.

It tells the story of the hero al Simmons who signs a contract with the devil after he is framed up and dies, and is reborn to revenge. It is obvious that his creativity is similar to the evil knight of marvel.

Fox has invested 50 million US dollars in the production budget of "regeneration man", which is an important attempt in recent years to follow the trend of DC's movies. In addition, the hero of "regeneration man" is black, which also creates the first black leading role in the film.

Relying on 2762 yuan to open the screen, "the regeneration man" won $25.31 million at the box office in its first week.

Obviously not as expected.

Even if the opening is good, the local box office will probably stop at about $50 million.

No. 3 on the list is Disney's comedy no more lost, which is also a new film started last week.

In short, this is the story of a man's version of comedy style "the last flower". It tells the story of Nick, the hero of Tim Robbins, who runs away from home because of his wife's betrayal. After being robbed by the robber played by Martin Lawrence, he accidentally partners with each other and starts a crazy journey.

With a production cost of 25 million US dollars, the first week of the painting, no more can be lost won 17.55 million US dollars at the box office.

The rules are in order.

The fourth place is American pie, and the ranking goes back to danielis entertainment.

The low-cost youth comedy released on June 20 can be described as the biggest dark horse in the summer season. In the fifth week of its release, the box office of American Pie fell back to the range of 10 million US dollars for the first time, earning 9.16 million US dollars, but the cumulative ticket price just broke through the threshold of 100 million US dollars, reaching 100.61 million US dollars.

With a total investment of only 20 million US dollars in production and publicity, danelis entertainment has made a lot of money only by local distribution.

The sequel has been approved.

In the seventh week of its release, tornado earned $9.03 million, which is not far behind American pie. However, the domestic box office of this blockbuster movie with an investment of $100 million has reached $256.16 million.

After all, it is still under the impact of "Independence Day". Judging from the current trend, the local 300 million is hopeless.

Of course, with the local box office of more than 250 million US dollars at this time, danilisi entertainment has basically recovered the total cost of production and publicity of 150 million US dollars. Considering the rising box office outside Shanghai, this blockbuster has entered the profit cycle.

In addition to the top five, it is worth mentioning the seventh place project eagle.

That's right.

It's the one starring Jack Cheng.

Jack Cheng was able to attend the premiere of Crouching Tiger, hidden dragon on July 23 just because he was involved in promoting the project the week before.

The film was released in Hong Kong in 1991. It was also an old film purchased by new world film industry. Because of the success of "young Huang Feihong's Iron Monkey", new world film industry temporarily arranged the release of the film, which was released on July 18, just like "reborn man" and "no more lost", with 1317 screens and $6.17 million box office in the first week.

About $5000 is not a success. However, considering that after the film was packaged, the average buyout cost was less than $500000, even if $2 million was invested in this release, only $6.17 million was earned in the first week, all the expenses have been recovered.

The first week's revenue exceeds US $6 million, and the total box office of the film in North America is expected to be about US $10 million. Coupled with the follow-up video revenue, the film is still a small black horse with a high return on investment.

Coincidentally, like iron monkey, project Eagle comes from Jiahe.

Hong Kong Jiahe made a fortune by virtue of "Police Story 4", which was released on May 16 at the beginning of the summer season. Unfortunately, the total box office of "Police Story 4", which has been released, is only US $53.46 million. Considering the high cost of US $25 million for Hong Kong films, it also has to share profits with the distributor Disney. Even if the follow-up channels are included, the final net income will not be higher than that of new world film What's the height of project eagle.

If "project Eagle" and "Iron Monkey" are added together, it can directly blow up "Police Story 4".

Even Simon, who is far away in North America, heard that boss Zou was in a very bad mood recently, and directly fired a senior executive of Jiahe who was in charge of copyright trading.

Then there was face changing.

In the past week, only $1.79 million has been made in "face changing", which was released in the ninth week. It will be released soon. The cumulative box office of the film is $198.38 million, less than $2 million. It is not a problem that it has exceeded the threshold of $200 million before it is released.

The new week of July 25.

Because several new films gathered last week, in addition to 143 screen hits of Crouching Tiger, hidden dragon, only a low-cost black comedy "Hamburg story" produced by Paramount at a cost of only $9 million was painted at the same time this week, which is not a big concern. What can threaten crouching tiger, hidden dragon is still Yu Wei's "Independence Day", as well as last week's "regeneration man" and "nothing can be lost" and other old films.
