The richest man starts with a blind box

Chapter 809 Records of North American Film History 【Addition】

No one thought that this "Misty Journey 2", such an oriental film starring Chinese people, actually created a record in the history of North American film and television after the opening, that is, the box office on the first day reached an astonishing 9, $230 million.

You must know that the current North American first-day box office record was set by The Lion King more than 10 years ago. This result directly shocked countless Hollywood media and film companies, and they all looked at this guy who appeared out of nowhere like a monster.

Really, this really is a movie that just popped out of nowhere.

You must know that in the Hollywood circle, apart from those small-budget movies made by small companies, any movie made by a big company, or a big-budget movie made by a small company with a huge investment, will be announced in the announcement. At that time, there was a wave of enthusiasm, and then everyone in the circle knew that there was such a movie in production.

As a result, it turned out to be a good thing now. Before the announcement of the release date of this "Misty Journey", few companies had heard of the production of this film.

It's not that these Hollywood film companies despise the films invested by Jiangnan Group. After all, Marvel Pictures has released two films successively, and they have achieved quite good results. They have even revived the category of superhero films. The film companies have announced that they will recreate the superhero film shooting plan, so no one dares to underestimate Jiangnan Group's film investment.

It's just because this Misty Journey was actually filmed according to the specifications of a TV series, and it was filmed in New Zealand and China. How could a Hollywood film company take care of such a TV series.

So it wasn't until the Jiangnan Group started promoting Peter Jackson's Ethereal Journey that they knew there was such a movie coming.

It's just that no Hollywood film company took this movie seriously at the time. After all, a movie that didn't have a long warm-up, and chose to release it on a bad schedule, it would be a blockbuster at first sight.

Then they were horrified to find that this first film started to rise against the trend, creating a box office that was even more impressive than all the movies in the Christmas schedule.

Not to mention, as a result, the second movie directly broke the first-day box office record of North American movies that had been dusty for more than ten years, and became a movie that can truly leave a name in movie history, which shocked countless movie companies.At the same time, it also gave these film companies a feeling that the rain is about to come, is it possible that there will be a movie that can surpass the Lion King at the box office and enter the top 10 box office in film history?
But soon, after investigation, they let go of this worry.

Because they found that Misty Journey 2 was able to create such amazing results, mainly because of Misty Journey 1.

Although the first part of Misty Journey is the follow-up to Mana, the box office has not exceeded 1 million US dollars until now, and it is just a relatively good movie.

But the problem is that it has only been more than 20 days since the film was released, and it has accumulated a large number of audiences who are curious about the follow-up plot.

And when the second part is released 2 days later, these viewers will naturally rush to watch it on the first day, so this first-day box office record of more than 20 million US dollars was born.

In the next few days, when these old audiences finished watching the movie, the box office should drop, and the possibility of even surpassing the first step is very low.After all, those who are interested in watching the second part must be the audience who have watched the first part, so the number of viewers of the second part cannot exceed the number of viewers of the first part anyway. possibility.

Thinking of this, the major film companies immediately felt relieved, and then said with a smile that although this movie has already set the first-day box office record in North America, it may soon set a record for the box office drop in North America, and it won’t take long. , the box office of this movie will drop to an extremely low level.

Facts seem to be verifying this. The film's box office dropped to 2 million US dollars on the second day, more than half of the box office on the first day.

Then on the third day, the box office dropped by about half again, falling to 3 million US dollars, which was quite an astonishing drop.However, it still accumulated a box office of 2 million U.S. dollars in the first weekend, and this result also entered the top five positions in the first weekend rankings of North American movies.

However, according to the optimistic estimates of other Hollywood film companies, the film's box office in the second week is at most about 2 million U.S. dollars, and then the box office in the third week will be cut to about 8 million U.S. dollars. It's not worth counting. In the end, the box office of this movie will be maintained at around 000 million US dollars, which is about 3 million US dollars worse than the first film.

Well, this is not an unreasonable estimate, but calculated by Hollywood film companies based on their own carefully designed mathematical models.

These data models are based on various data records of Hollywood movie box office over the years, and the accuracy rate is as high as 80%.

However, it turns out that the accuracy rate of 80% is a bit high, and the real accuracy rate should be around 70%, because the box office of Gone with Journey 2 reached 2 million in the second week, which is higher than that estimated by the mathematical model. $1.1 million was an extra $8 million at the box office.

If the accuracy rate of 70% is not bad, it is barely acceptable.Then when the data for the third week came out, the accuracy rate fell below 3%, because the box office in the third week reached 50 million US dollars, 3 million more than the estimated 1.02 million US dollars at the box office. Above, the angry Hollywood film companies directly deleted this mathematical model.

Later, people analyzed that there were two main reasons why the box office did not plummet as predicted by the mathematical model.

One is that with the continuous swiping of the screen in front of the audience with the first and second parts of Misty Journey, many audiences who were really not interested in oriental fantasy stories have developed a certain interest.

Coupled with the fact that the second part broke the film and television box office record, many viewers chose to watch what kind of movie this is and why it broke the film and television record.

The mathematical model is only calculated based on previous box office figures, and cannot calculate the number of melon-eating audiences attracted by breaking the box office record and causing big news. Naturally, serious calculation deviations have occurred.

But this is only one aspect of the factors, another factor comes from Daniel, yes, it is this Daniel who claims to be the first saint of Taoism in the West, he has indeed fulfilled his promise.

On the third day after the release of Misty Journey 2, with the help of professionals sent by Zuckerberg, Daniel made a short video about 3 minutes, telling everyone how to realize what was said in the movie. Meditation steps.

It is also through this video that Zuckerberg knows that the sleeping position in bed cannot help people enter a state of meditation.

Only by showing the meditation posture with the palm of the hand as demonstrated by Daniel in the video, can it better help the human body enter the state of meditation.

Secondly, entering the meditative state is not just to sleep, but to put the tongue against the jaw, and at the same time, the body fluid is in the mouth, the facial features are facing the heart, the whole body is relaxed, and the unique breathing method is used, and at the same time, the mind is empty, and the continuous efforts Try it, and you can enter a state of meditation.

In this video, Daniel talked about many methods that have never been mentioned before. Zuckerberg, who saw this video for the first time, felt that he had benefited a lot, and then he directly meditated in the office... Although he did not directly enter In the state of meditation, Zuckerberg miraculously found that his mental state has improved, and his attention has become easier to concentrate. The activity of his thinking seems to have returned to his childhood, which was full of various innocent fantasies During the period, Zuckerberg thought that it was impossible for him to go back in his life.

All in all, although this video did not allow Zuckerberg to meditate successfully, it did allow him to reap real spiritual benefits.

Of course, Zuckerberg is not a wizard of cultivation. In fact, the preparatory work for meditation is actually a way to help human beings relax their minds and enter a deeper state of spiritual recovery.

As long as you earnestly follow the requirements of meditation, you can more or less recover a large amount of mental state, and then let your body feel the wonderful state of sleeping until it wakes up naturally. This is equivalent to an advanced sleep method.

So when Zuckerberg ordered Weibo to directly give this video a lot of resources and spread it quickly through the Internet, Daniel was destined to become the first saint of Taoism in the West.

Although most viewers just laughed it off when they saw this video, they wouldn't really do any meditation.But those audiences who watched the movie were different. They were already itchy all over because of the magical cultivation in the movie, but now they actually found a video teaching people how to meditate, and they naturally wanted to verify it.

Although there may not be a genius among 100 people who can meditate successfully for the first time, they can more or less feel the great spiritual recovery and help brought by meditation like Zuckerberg.

And this kind of spiritual help will actually give people an irresistible temptation... Just like those DPs that work on the spirit are addictive, this kind of ideal that can help people restore their spirits also has It must be addictive, and many people directly develop the habit of meditating from time to time to restore their state.

When the people around saw their friend suddenly sitting cross-legged to meditate, they would naturally be curious, and then asked what happened, followed by a burst of Amway...

In fact, even if these friends don't ask, these people who have experienced the benefits of meditation can't help showing off what they have encountered in a showy gesture.

The result is that more and more people are interested in the journey of Piao Miao, so they walked into the movie theater and became the audience of this movie.

Then the mathematical models of major Hollywood film companies were smashed, and the conclusion that the box office did not exceed 3.5 million became a complete joke, because by the end of the third week, the movie box office had already exceeded 3 million US dollars. And according to the current trend, breaking through the box office of 3.7 million US dollars is also a simple matter.

It's just that, at this time, the Hollywood movie companies don't care about the fact that the second part of Misty Journey is about to exceed 2 million, because at this time, the box office of the first part of Misty Journey has exceeded 5 million US dollars, and it has officially entered the top 1 million. It's among the top 6.5 at the North American box office.
