Chapter 877： serious situation

In Hollywood, the operation process of a commercial film is already very skilled.

From when to start project, when to start production, when to start release, there is a very mature process.

According to the speed of post-production of "Speed ​​of Life and Death" on Yin Jun's side, Tang Shuxuan fixed the "Speed ​​of Life and Death" on July 17 after convening a group of elites from the distribution department.

The number of hard-core theaters that can be reached is not very large. There are only more than 500 movie theaters and more than 800 screens agreed, and they will support the maximum output in the first three weeks starting on July 17.

Most of these movie theaters are small and medium-sized movie theaters, AMC, Emperor Entertainment Group and Ximanke Group. These three major movie theaters are not loose.

They are waiting to see the edited film. The Xiangjiang side still has to wait until the end of May to complete the production.

Only by watching the film, their cinema manager can decide how much screen to give.

It's not just about treating Uni-Film and Disney. They are like this for every film company giant.

Hollywood does not allow movie companies to directly hold the cinema line, only the entertainment media group above them can hold it, but this is not much, and it cannot be compared with the three major cinema lines in Hollywood.

AMC, Emperor Entertainment Group and Ximanke Group, they have a total of more than 6,000 screens, which is a very scary number.

If any film company can get half of the output, it will definitely make a fortune.

It is a pity that so far, even the big-selling movies such as "Superman", "Star Wars", "Raiders", etc., can not get such treatment.

No movie has been released at the same time in 2000 cinemas. This record will not be broken until the previous Life Detective of Beverly Hills is released.

This is true even of Hollywood movies, not to mention a movie from Xiangjiang.

If they hadn't watched "Police. School" before, and they watched another movie written by Yin Jun-"E.T." last month, they can all reply now.

Even if the quality of "Speed ​​of Life and Death" is very good, it is estimated that the three major theaters will not give more than 1500 screens.

Of the 1,500 screens, most of the reason is that in the face of Disney and Lianyi movies, everyone is a long-time partner, and this face is still to be given.

However, if the performance of "Speed ​​of Life and Death" is not strong, then the three theaters will not hesitate to reduce the scale of the show.

It ’s not just the three major cinemas. Even the more than 800 screens that were set before, it is also necessary to arrange the performance based on the results. If it is really bad, they have no reason to lose money to support the Kirin movie.

However, the next day, another "Superman 2" that was also released on July 17th was treated differently from "Speed ​​of Life and Death".

Warner Bros., a production and distribution company, gave data that it collected 3,700 screens for "Superman 2" and the number of movie theaters exceeded 2,000, reaching more than 2,400.

"Superman 2" once again broke the record, but also suppressed the amount of filming of "Speed ​​of Life and Death".

There are only so many resources in a movie theater. If you have more, he will naturally have less.

"Superman 2" has such a wide range of support, of course, will have a great impact on "Speed ​​of Life and Death".

When Yin Jun got the news, his face appeared dignified.

Yu Zheng, general manager of Qilin Film Company, angrily said, "Are Hollywood bullying newcomers? Why would you put such a blockbuster with us? Superman is the most popular idol in the US! If we hit the same day, There must be no way to collide with it. "

"This is not something to bully the newcomers." Yin Jun regained his mind and said lightly: "It is their unintentional move, I am afraid that the ghosts are not willing to believe. This is aimed at our Kirin movie, wanting to put" Life and Death " "Speed" will continue. Lianyi Film Company and Disney are already half dead. If they fall into the dilemma again, Hollywood giants, would you be happy? "

"You mean ... this is not a matter for the Warner Bros., but all of them are united to suppress us?" Yu Zheng's mouth closed in surprise.

"Otherwise, how do you explain that" Superman 2 "actually won 3,700 screens? How much is" Star Wars 1 "? How much is" Star Wars 2 "? Yin Jundao," There is also "ET" that we cooperate with Universal, everyone All the praised films only got more than 2,900 screens, but not 3,000. You also watched the film of "ET", do you think it is not good enough? "

Yu Zheng's complexion immediately dimmed.

If it was just Warner Bros. who wanted to seize the box office and overwhelm the Kirin movie, then it makes sense. How can there be no competition in doing business?

But if it is really the rest of the six Hollywood giants who are conspiring to fight against the Kirin movie together, things are not that simple.

Even if the Kirin movie is even stronger, let alone Yin Jun is such a unique writer genius in the world, and he ca n’t resist the turns of the six giants!

If you think about it, the movie produced by the Unicorn movie is either in the series of "The Treasure Hunter", or in the series of "Superman", or in the series of "Star Trek", or even in the series of "Star Wars". What else is going on?

The audience in North America also depends on people, and on the previous impressions of watching movies.

After being hit by these successful blockbuster films, even if the Kirin movie is well-made, I am afraid that the income will be greatly reduced.

Not to mention that Yin Jun made a decision long ago. Except for some European and American actors, he will try his best to use the Chinese lineup to make movies.

This is above the sense of identity, and it was suppressed by others.

By count, Yu Zheng felt a little creepy.

She opened her mouth and persuaded Yin Jun, let's not go to Hollywood, let's lay the foundation of Asia first, but when I remembered the 3.7 billion US dollars loaned by Yin Jun, my heart woke up again.

This matter cannot be mentioned at all.

Yin Jun could only beat the sky in Hollywood before he could revive the whole situation.

At that time, even if you want to sell Disney or Lianyi Film Company, you have the capital that can be sold, otherwise it will be good to wait for bankruptcy and someone else to lower the price and willing to give you $ 2 billion.

Feeling sad, Yu Zheng saw that although Yin Jun's face was ugly, he was not depressed. He asked unconsciously, "So, Jun, what do you do?"

"This person is making a clear move, you can't avoid it, and you can't avoid it." Yin Jun sighed, "Only face up!"

Nodding, Yu Zheng couldn't help but say: "Are you sure?"

"No." Yin Jun said honestly, "If there is no fierce competition," Life and Death Speed ​​"has a good box office in the United States. That is normal. But if it is suppressed everywhere, on the film, in If the inherent impression is suppressed, I am afraid that this time the box office will be a little unsatisfactory! "

"Speed ​​of Life and Death" was ranked eighth in the US in 1994, at the box office of about 120 million US dollars, and it seemed similar to "Superman 2" released this year.

But "Speed ​​of Life and Death" has 13 years of concept, shooting technology and plot crushing. The $ 120 million North American box office is definitely not the end of this life.

The problem is that the original version of "The Speed ​​of Life and Death", starring in the supporting role, is all beautiful and beautiful. It is easy to get their approval.

And now in "Speed ​​of Life and Death", besides Eddie Murphy, who else is the American.

From this point of view, Yin Jun's previous box office estimate for "Life and Death Speed" was that it would be a big victory if he could get $ 100 million in North America.

Suddenly targeted by Hollywood giants, Yin Jun feels that if he does nothing, he may be able to get 80 million dollars, which is good.

However, isn't Yin Jun the one who was pitted and said nothing?

When Yu Zheng left, he began to calculate.

After grabbing the phone, Yin Jun called the post-production department, "Hey, it's me, you come to Zhang Yaozong for a trip ... Well, brother Zhang, don't be busy editing today. Let's take our most intense Find out the scene, and prepare to cut out trailers for 30 seconds, one minute, two minutes and three minutes ... Yes, I will come later, we are busy together! "

After speaking, Yin Jun hung up the phone and went straight out of the office.

If "Speed ​​of Life and Death" is released in the United States and the United States in this way, it won't even be able to match the "superman 2".

But what if, from now on, "Speed ​​of Life and Death" continues to release wonderful edits?

It's like the Hollywood blockbuster after 20 years.

Nima has only one year to release, but the trailers of the first, second and third editions were released early, which made the fan's interest to be old and high, x can't.

Then, when it's released, everyone's long-standing enthusiasm will immediately erupt and immediately provide a lot of box office for these blockbusters.

One hundred or two hundred million dollars over the three days of the weekend is nothing.

Yin Jun had never thought of doing this.

Because he knows that he is just a newcomer in Hollywood and is not suitable for too much fanfare. He should work hard and continue to develop slowly to consolidate his strength.

However, now Yin Jun knows ~ www.novelhall.com ~ No one hurts the tiger, the tiger hurts.

Hollywood is a place full of competition and scams, and none of these giants is a fuel-efficient lamp.

You don't want to provoke them, but they have long regarded you as a piece of fat, showing a fierce light, and using a means, they want to swallow you in one bite.

Everyone is knocking on the door, at this time, I am still a low-key fart!

Since there is no way to develop in a low-key manner, let's put forward a fight!

Start with this trailer!

I will not believe it.

With my film fans who have more than 40 years of experience in this era, can't they rely on fine films to make a world out of it?

I have watched the first cut of "Speed ​​of Life and Death" several times. Not only is it not worse than in the previous life, but Fei Xiang is even tougher than Keanu Reeves.

In terms of details, I have the original version of "Speed ​​of Life and Death" as a reference, and many places have been fine-tuned.

It is no exaggeration to say that if the original "Speed ​​of Life and Death" has 80 points, the version I produced by Yin Jun, except for not being European and American actors, can reach at least 90 points!

In Hollywood, how many movies can reach this level?

If you don't blow it, Yin Jun feels a bit unattractive even when she sees "Avatar" and "Star Wars."

After all, whoever has watched such great titles as "Iron Man", "Star Wars: Phantom Crisis", "Avengers", and "Avatar" will have this feeling when they look at the movies 40 years ago.

And my "speed of life and death", at least to the level of production around 2000!

There is a difference of 20 years, I have no reason to fail!

...

(National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival holiday, I hope you all play well, eat well and drink well! Have a wonderful holiday!)
