Chapter 563： The first battle is won!

Because the time difference between Xiangjiang and the United States is 13 hours, June 13th, Xiangjiang time, is the day when "Avatar" is officially released in North America.

There is no such thing as a global simultaneous release. Even the 2011 movie "Avatar" is released in batches. There are really few so-called global synchronized releases in a year.

The reason is that the theater lines in different countries are different, and the interests are inconsistent. It is simply impossible to achieve a result that everyone is satisfied with.

In the future, Wanda Group will be very attentive. Not only has it created the largest theater line in China, but also bought the second largest theater line in the United States, and then has a siege in Europe, Southeast Asia is also their next plan ... Such a decade It is not a big problem if you want to build a global cinema line.

But this does not mean that it is very stable.

Do n’t look at it. It ’s not necessary to do anything in the theater. It ’s just making movies and making money. It ’s a bit of a leisurely leisure. However, if the movies are not suitable continuously, good movies will not be shown here, or the financial crisis will cause huge amounts of money Loss.

Wasn't the European and American theaters bought by Wanda sold to Wanda for this reason?

Therefore, Wanda not only actively purchases and builds cinemas, but also actively participates in the film industry, and wants to make its own films.

That's how Wanda Films was established, and then they also spent three billion dollars in the United States to buy the legendary film companies that are second-tier film companies, and even actively contacted the seven giants of Hollywood. They wanted to learn from Sony and acquire them. One company, to create a better source for their own cinema.

Yin Jun does not know if they are right or wrong, but this is after all an attempt by the richest man in the king. In Yin Jun's view, there are many lessons to learn from.

Omit this matter a bit.

Historically, movies in the United States have been released in North America. In fact, Canada is also included.

By 2020, Canada has less than 40 million people. In 1980, it was around 25 million, not even one tenth of the United States.

However, this is also a developed country. With a base of 25 million people, it can provide a viewing population of more than 5 million, which is already good.

Once Le Shidong had a goal, it was really amazing to work desperately. The number of screens on the opening screen of "The Treasure Hunt" was 1,733, of which 218 were from Canada.

Such a number, not to mention the second-line cinema, even if it is the seven giants of Hollywood, the number of screens that can generally be put together is that much.

In fact, although there were 1078 movie theaters released in the previous game, "The Treasure Hunt", the number of screens is more than 2,100, which is no more than the current scale, but the location of the theater is much better than now.

Hearing this news, it is said that Fox was stunned first, and it was impossible to scream.

Paramount is even more embarrassed. Their president directly fell off the cup and yelled.

Of course, these are no longer related to "The Treasure Hunter". Their entire staff, including the movie theater owners who joined the temporary theater line of Lei Shidong, are excited and anxiously waiting for the "Treasure Hunter" "The door is open.

When Lucas and Yin Jun called, they all seemed a little restless.

By comparison, Spielberg is much more calm.

If it wasn't for running publicity some time ago, Spielberg had to come to Xiangjiang to discuss the specific preparation and shooting of "e.t." with Yin Jun.

Staying in the United States in recent months, Spielberg was thinking about "e.t." when he was free. Thousands of drawings were drawn just for drafts, and various books were collected for various data collection and plot discussions.

As long as the box office of "Raiders" can meet the expectations, then Spielberg can get rid of these cumbersome social entertainment and come to Yin Jun to discuss the matter.

I don't know if it's because Yin Jun has always been very confident, not just Lucas, even when Lei Shidong is nervous, he will call Yin Jun, hoping to get cheer and encouragement.

Even Zou Wenhuai, the frequency of calls to Yin Jun in the past two days has also increased. If he is busy with things here, Zou Wenhuai wants to go to the United States to guard.

Perhaps, only Yin Jun never worried.

Even if the production cost of the previous life was not enough, they could get 384 million US dollars at the box office. Now Yin Jun has added so much to them, including Zou Wenhuai ’s 5 million US dollars, a total of 25 million US dollars of investment. The film effect is really too much.

In addition, in terms of publicity costs, those movie theaters have to earn 50% of their income, so their movie theater-related publicity is done by themselves, while other publicity, including TV, newspapers, etc., 3 million US dollars, is also Yin Jun, Zou Wen Huai and Lucas Pictures respectively. The above publicity costs can not allow Lucas to steal and play tricks, and must be strictly in accordance with the proportion of investment allocated.

...

At 2 p.m., at 1 a.m. American time, Yin Jun was explaining the details of the sub-lens of a shot to Wang Jing, and the phone at home rang.

"Hello!" Yin Jun asked Wang Jing to write it himself, and got up to answer the phone.

"Sent! Sent! Jun, do you know what our first-day box office is?" Lucas's violent voice drilled over the phone, "Gosh! We actually have a box office of 1.7 million! And whether it ’s a film critic or an audience, it ’s praised for "Dreams of Treasure Hunt!" This time we succeeded! "

Yin Jun was also happy.

In the previous life of "The Treasure Hunter", the total box office in North America for the first weekend was about 8 million, but according to today ’s situation in the United States is Thursday, the box office on Friday, the day after tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow will definitely be more At the box office on Thursday.

Today is 1.7 million, and the word of mouth is very good. It is not difficult to pass 10 million at the box office.

Don't underestimate the 10 million box office results, this is 1980, not 2020!

In the summer season of 2020, the first weekend box office of 10 million box office, the top five can not be ranked, bad luck, the top ten do not have your share.

But in the first weekend of 1980, the box office of 10 million US dollars, it is really a bull ratio, a safe first! And it is the first of the year!

Lucas thought of this, so happy.

"Oh, it's also that our strength is not enough, otherwise we can get some good screens in the city center, and the box office results can be better ..."

Lukas Miley was verbose for a while before he hung up on the phone and looked at him. Don't want to sleep tonight.

It ’s no wonder, this is the first time Lucasfilm has produced a blockbuster on its own, and it almost broke down with Paramount. If this is not successful, then the films he makes will be suppressed by the seven giants in the future. Take a hard bite.

But now it seems that the chances of success of "Raiders of the Treasure Hunt" are great.

So from now on, Lucasfilm will have one more road, and when faced with the major cinema lines, it will be much more confident.

After Lucas, Red Stone also immediately called.

He was more excited than Lucas.

This is the first time he has made such a large-scale screening. Once it fails, those cinema giants and the seven major movie giants will definitely tear him up, and those failed cinema owners will also leave him. And go.

However, now it is clearly a posture of success!

Lei Shidong is pleased that it is definitely not just such a small profit of "The Lost Treasure Soldier". He cares that he has taken up a huge theater line, which is larger than the largest entertainment line in the United States.

With successful experience, he will meet good movies in the future, so he can always pull up the same scale and even more theaters. In this way, he can become a guest of Hollywood movie companies and make more money. Not to mention, the power has definitely increased!

"Sammer." Yin Jun reminded before hanging up the phone: "Don't offend the rest of the theater. At this moment of victory, we should think of expanding the results instead of standing still, right?"

"Relax, please." Of course, Lei Shidong is not a fool. He smiled. "I just discussed with Lucas, as long as they want to get on the car, they can come. The more we can get more. "

Putting down the phone, Yin Jun smiled unconsciously.

Such a thing, of course, does not require Yin Jun to remind Lei Shidong.

People will be the best entertainment giant in North America in the future. If they are not smart enough, how can they develop to this point?

It is conceivable that after this success, Lei Shidong ’s dream of the theater will definitely accelerate, maybe he can complete the accumulation many years earlier than his previous life, thus acquiring his dream Paramount and TV station, step by step Towards the pinnacle of his career.

However, of course, Yin Jun also knows that Lei Shidong can share sufferings, but he can never enjoy the same happiness.

Just think of him confronting his wife with his wife first, and then with his daughter, you can see the character of this person.

Although there are many such people in the United States, such as Murdoch is one of them, but like Lei Shidong did so, I am afraid that only two or three people.

After Lei Shidong ~ www.novelhall.com ~ within a few minutes, Zou Wenhuai called again.

"Ajun! We succeeded! Thank you! Thank you! Jiahe is going to show a big face internationally this time !!!" The chairman of Jiahe is more excited than the first two.

But Yin Jun knew the difference between him and the previous two.

Lucas's first sentence is "sent", and Zou Wenhuai is "successful", which means that the two of them have different attitudes towards the movie.

One is to use movies as a means of making money, and the other is to treat movies as your ideal.

In the future history, the two have done the same.

Lucas sold it at the peak of Lucasfilm's value, but Zou Wenhuai waited until Golden Harvest could no longer sustain it, and then sold it reluctantly.

This is not to say how bad Zou Wenhuai is, but that he is in a wrong place and wrong time.

If he could be in the United States, let alone Lucas, even Redstone would not necessarily win him.

It is precisely because Zou Wenhuai is really passionate about the film business, so this time in the "Raiders of the Treasure Hunt", Yin Jun did not drive him out.

Otherwise, according to Yin Jun ’s share ratio, if he forces Lucas to choose between the two, surely Lucas can only choose him.

And Zou Wenhuai did not have that courage, and dared to invest more than 20 million US dollars to enter the treasure hunt.

Increasing Jiahe's strength may well be in the future, giving Jiahe more powerful power to impact the world's film market!
