The richest man starts with a blind box

Chapter 810 Entering the Top Ten
At this moment, almost all the people in the movie circle are paying attention to the box office of the second part of Piao Miao's Journey. Seeing how he can go against the sky, they wait until the weekly box office of the first part of Piao Miao's Journey Announced, announcing that he has broken through 6 million U.S. dollars and officially became No. 10 in the North American movie box office rankings, the movie circle fell silent for an instant.

What the hell is this?

A film that has been in theaters for more than six weeks, and it is reasonable to say that there are only a few hundred screenings in the United States every day, and the daily box office does not exceed 10 US dollars, unexpectedly counterattacked and became No.10 in the North American box office list?
This result made the whole of Hollywood feel at a loss, completely unaware of what happened, and what scientific reason it has. It was not until some professionals went to interview the owners of major theaters that they roughly understood the mystery.

Originally, according to the general routine, after the release of the second part, the first part has been released for a long time.

But the problem is that the interval between Part 1 and Part 2 of Misty Journey is only 20 days, and in the United States, the release time of a movie is about 90-180 days, so at this point in time, the first part of Misty Journey , is still in the works.

Of course, the bosses of the theaters considered that the second movie was already out, and no one might watch the first movie, so they artificially lowered the schedule of the first movie at the beginning, but there were only about 2 or 1 shows per day, which gave the The second gives way.

After all, it is still in the Christmas period, and there are a large number of blockbuster movies released together, and there are simply not enough movie theaters.

But soon these theater owners were surprised to find that although there were only 1 or 2 screenings left for the first film, and it was basically a morning show with a very bad time, the number of viewers was unusually large.

According to their past experience, whether it is a weekend or a weekday, the cinema in the morning is definitely empty, and the audience for a movie will not exceed 10 people.

However, the number of viewers of the first part of this floating journey is about a hundred people, almost covering the entire movie theater, and it is not just a special situation in one movie theater, but almost all movie theaters The same situation happened.

Soon, these bosses realized that these audiences should be attracted by the market and the news. They didn’t watch the first part, went to watch the second part directly, and then came back to make up for the first part.

Well, you finished reading the second part, don't you want to make up for the first part?Anyway, it happens to be in theaters.

After discovering this, some bosses tried to re-arrange the first film in the prime time slot, and found that more people watched the first film, and the number of people who watched the second film also increased sharply. .

It turned out that many viewers felt that it was rare in their life to see the first and second films being released consecutively. They thought it was very strange, so they decided to watch the first and second films together directly and enjoy them in the theater. Spend nearly six hours of wonderful life in one breath.

This data looks incredible to many professional filmmakers, because according to their research, it is optimal for normal humans to sit in a movie theater for two hours. If it exceeds three hours, they will feel irritable, body pain, etc. , because human beings cannot stay in a fixed space and an environment with fixed seats for a long time.

This is also the reason why the time of a movie is controlled between 120 minutes and 180 minutes. It's not that the director doesn't want to shoot more, but that the audience really can't bear it.

So in their view, it is simply unbelievable that there are audiences who are willing to spend six hours watching two movies in a row.

The ideas of the experts are actually not wrong, and most of the audience is definitely not willing to make such a fuss, but they ignore the rebellious psychology of human beings and the pursuit of independence.

And the psychology of a Boss Huang named Laidulai.

Rebellious psychology refers to the fact that most people watch a movie at a time, so I just want to watch it once, and do things that other people can't do, which proves that I am awesome.

As for you are here... You are here, why don't you finish watching both movies in one go before leaving?Anyway, the ratings on the Internet are so high!

And capital does not care whether things are reasonable or not, he only cares about whether it can make money by doing so. If the counterattack increases the lineup of the first film and can increase the box office revenue, then the theater owner will increase the number of the first film without hesitation. Arrange films.

Then the Hollywood professionals saw this incomprehensible scene in front of them. Four weeks after the release, the first film schedule of Piao Miao Journey rose instead of falling. At the same time, the box office of the second film took the The box office of a movie has risen, and sometimes even the daily box office of the first movie is higher than that of the second movie!

Because some viewers were overwhelmed by the Amway of the people around them, and then ran to the cinema to experience this oriental fantasy special effects movie. As a new audience, the schedule of the first and second films is similar, and they can freely at any time In the case of making a choice, then he will definitely choose to watch the first part first, and then see if he wants to watch the second part.

Among them, there are always some people who think that the movie is not good, so they gave up the second movie after watching the first one, so this sometimes leads to the daily box office of the first movie surpassing the second one.

Of course, there are not many such cases. Most of the time, the daily box office of the second part is higher.

By the sixth week after the release of the first film, that is, on January 2005, 1, the daily box office of the two films of Misty Journey was basically maintained at around 20 million US dollars.

At the same time, according to estimates, the final North American box office of the first film should be around 6.8 million US dollars, hitting the 9th place in the North American historical box office list, while the box office of the second film can be stabilized at around 5.2 million US dollars. possibility.

And when the enthusiasm for Gone with the Wind is finally about to cool down, and when the big shots in Hollywood are trying to make themselves forget about this terrible movie, the poster for the third part of Gone with the Wind arrived as scheduled.

Zuckerberg and other loyal fans were pleasantly surprised to find that Jiangnan Entertainment announced that the third part of Misty Journey will be released on January 3, 2005. As always, they will not give the audience any time to react. There are only three days until the release.

However, in the face of this news, most of the bigwigs in Hollywood were expressionless, because they basically knew the news of the third film's finalization in advance through their own channels.

After all, if you want to set a schedule, you need to report to the major theaters at least a week in advance, so the big guys know the release time of the third part a week in advance.

But it's not without good news. The good news is that the theaters have received accurate information. The journey of Piaomiao currently only has a trilogy. The birth of the Ministry, which made many Hollywood bigwigs breathe a sigh of relief, it seems that they only need to endure another month.

Many film companies have silently adjusted the schedule of their films to avoid conflict with this lunatic film.

The bosses are not stupid. Judging from the quality of the first and second parts, the quality of the third part will definitely not be too bad. It should maintain the same level of super world view and invincible special effects as before. It is estimated that this is another For a movie that broke [-] million yuan, they just hope that the third box office won't also enter the top ten box office rankings, otherwise the whole Hollywood will be embarrassed.

Hollywood basically maintains an attitude of acquiescing that the third movie does not exist. There are no comments on the third movie, and various Hollywood promotional activities will not take the initiative to invite Piao Miao to participate.

But the reaction on the Internet was very frenzied, or in a carnival.

For example, Zuckerberg, the president of Weibo, made no secret of his love for this movie. He remembered the promise he had made in his heart, so he announced domineeringly on his official Weibo account that he would Spend 100 million U.S. dollars to directly contract 10 movie theaters for a week, so that these 10 movie theaters will only play the trilogy of Piaomiao Journey in this week, and invite everyone to watch it for free.

As long as you come, you can go directly to the cinema to watch movies, and you don't need to pay any movie box office.

Then Zuckerberg also explained why he made this decision, saying that when he was watching the first part, he once jokingly told others that if he could see the second part within a month, he would buy the next one. cinema.

Now that I have seen not only the second movie, but even the third movie within a month, I have to super double and directly book ten movie theaters.

What Zuckerberg did was originally just his own thoughts and actions, and it actually couldn't have much impact on the entire box office.

But I don’t know if Zuckerberg has aroused the love of other bosses for this movie. Many, Hao Jianguo, the president of BLM company, announced that he will also contract 10 movie theaters, and play it for free for a week. Kerberg's conditions are the same.

Then, Malik, the president of Atari Communications, also joined in the fun and announced on the Internet that 10 movie theaters would be reserved.

Because these three companies are all in California, in an instant, 30 movie theaters in California were booked out, and they watched it for free for a week, which made countless audiences hooked, and the boss was very enthusiastic.

But Zuckerberg was at a loss. He announced this decision to really fulfill his promise.But were the other two people kicked in the head by the donkey?Why did you come up so quietly?
Regarding this, Hao Jianguo and Malik also complained in their hearts. Unlike Zuckerberg, who belongs to the American Priority Group, BLM and Atari Communications are both directly affiliated to the Jiangnan Group.

Now that an outsider has reserved the venue to support, how could they, Boss Huang's direct subordinates, not express their support?In desperation, I can only pay 100 million out of my own pocket.

But these three people did not expect that their actions were just the beginning. At this time, the presidents of Xiaomi and vivo mobile phones, which are in full swing in the United States, saw the situation and thought of the kindness that Boss Huang had done to him, so he swiped a pen and directly responded. In the same way, the same two companies each paid 1 million US dollars to book the venue.

And these two guys have made a move, so can the other five companies who followed Boss Huang come here not express it?

So everyone also paid 100 million each to book the venue!
Later, even Michael Jackson announced that he would spend 100 million to book the venue.

Good guy, everyone was stunned. The third movie has not yet been released. In the entire circle of rich and famous people, there are so many companies that have announced their reservations, which directly increased the movie's box office by nearly 1000 million US dollars.
