Entertainment: The opening and the official announcement of the national goddess

Chapter 558 The two dramas are worlds apart, Yang Mi's careful thoughts

When the stars left the theater, they were immediately surrounded by the group of reporters who had been waiting here.

Chris said: "I like Bruce Zhang's "Forrest Gump" very much. It definitely deserves the Cannes Palme d'Or trophy."

Luc Besson also said full of praise: "This is a real classic production. I predict that Bruce Zhang will sweep the Oscars next year."

Brad Pitt said to the reporters: "I like the role of Forrest Gump very much, but it's a pity that Ledger took it away. Although I don't want to, I have to praise Ledger. He played Forrest Gump very well. Mr. Zhang may be the right choice."

"Of course, if you choose me, you will definitely not be worse than him."

"···"

For a while, on Rotten Tomatoes, fans gave "Forrest Gump" a 90.00% freshness rating, and word of mouth immediately exploded.

As for the other "Battle of Thunder", it only got a freshness of 60.00% five, which is basically over.

Soon, the premiere box office of "Forrest Gump" and "War of Thunder" came out.

"Forrest Gump" won 2.57 million US dollars, ranking first in all major regions of the world.

The box office of "War of Thunder" is only 1.24 million US dollars, which is half the difference between the two, but it still ranks second.

On the second day, the film schedule of "Forrest Gump" has been greatly increased, and 3.25 million U.S. dollars have been slashed.

On the contrary, "War of Thunder" is really incomparable because of word-of-mouth, which leads to a reduction in the number of films scheduled, and the box office has also been directly reduced to more than 8000 million US dollars.

Marrington's original attempt to use this movie to snipe "Forrest Gump" can now be directly declared a failure, and it has become a big joke in Hollywood.

"boom!"

In the meeting room of the Universal Pictures headquarters, Marrington's eyes were red, like an angry lion, yelling at the dozen or so executives attending the meeting.

"With a production cost of 5000 million U.S. dollars and a publicity and distribution of 2000 million U.S. dollars, you gave me such a film. What use do I need you?"

For tens of billionaires like Marrington, the success or failure of a movie is actually irrelevant, the key is face.

The whole world knows that he wants to suppress "Forrest Gump", but the result?
Not only did the suppression not succeed, but it failed miserably.

It was nothing short of a humiliation to him, Marrington.

Including the CEO of Universal Pictures, Morris, all the executives of the entire company sat with their heads down and obediently, not daring to speak.

Marrington roared for fifteen minutes before subsiding.

He asked, "Tell me, what should I do now?"

Morris raised his head and said, "Boss, Zhang Xiao is not an easy person to deal with. It is basically impossible for us to defeat "Forrest Gump" head-on."

Marrington's eyes were microscopic, and he said: "The front is not good, but the side is fine?"

Morris said: "Boss, I have someone investigate. Zhang Xiao has offended many people in Huaguo. We can let them stand up and attack him. Even if they can't succeed this time, they will definitely do it next time."

Marrington continued to ask: "What is the specific method?"

Morris said: "Universal Pictures is one of the six giants in Hollywood, with sufficient funds and complete promotion and distribution channels. It is the dream partner of many Huaguo film companies."

"As long as we show a little interest, we can pull them onto our warship and deal with Bruce Zhang together."

Marrington pondered for a while, and said: "Huaguo is the second largest ticket warehouse in the world. If we can cooperate with their domestic companies, it would be a very good choice."

"However, Morris, you have to remember that what I want is not to hurt the enemy one thousand and self-defeating eight hundred, but to teach Zhang Xiao a lesson while making money. If there is a conflict between the two, then choose to make money, understand? ?”

Morris nodded and said, "I understand, boss, you are so wise."

Marrington snorted, and said, "Stop flattering, you should think about how to improve the box office of "Battle of Thunder"!"

Morris quickly said, "Yes, boss."

After Marrington left, Morris returned to the main seat and asked the other executives, "Let's talk about it, what are we going to do now?"

"Mr. Morris, the situation has developed to this point. We really have no other way but to increase publicity."

"To be honest, my wife went to see "Forrest Gump" last night and came back and told me that it is a classic among classics. It is basically impossible to beat this kind of movie."

Hearing the words of the people below, Morris frowned and said, "Even if it is impossible, we must do our best. No matter what, we must not let our colleagues in Hollywood see the joke."

"Yes!"

Everyone agreed, but everyone knew that this was basically an impossible task.

Day three.

"Forrest Gump" pulled back a bit, taking in $2.48 million, while "Thunderbolt" took in more than $500 million.

The next two days were weekends, and "Forrest Gump" continued its hot momentum, abruptly cutting down 5.88 million US dollars, but unfortunately it fell directly to less than [-] million US dollars in the next two days.

And "War of Thunder" is only a mere 1.58 million US dollars, let alone the latter.

soon.

The total box office of the first week is freshly released.

"Forrest Gump" has won a total of 15.87 billion US dollars, and has undoubtedly become the global box office champion released in the same period.

"Battle of Thunder" won 5.66 million US dollars, which can be said to be a mess.

···
"Husband, the box office of "Forrest Gump" has fallen sharply, should you go out and promote it?" Yang Mi asked Zhang Xiao with a smile.

Zhang Xiao was playing with Xiao Xinxin at the moment, when he heard Yang Mi's words, he glanced at her and said, "What do you want to say?"

Yang Mi said: "How about going to Changsha to accompany me to participate in a variety show?"

Zhang Xiao was taken aback when he heard the words, and said, "Haven't you been busy with the company's affairs recently, and do you have any new works to promote?"

We all know that Yang Mi hasn't filmed since she had a child, and has been busy with company affairs since she was confinement.

Going to a variety show at this time?

What are you thinking?

Yang Mi said frankly: "I didn't do it for publicity, it was purely for those newcomers."

It turned out that a variety show on Mango TV was planning to recruit the host of the next season, so it sent an invitation to Sunny Entertainment.

Yang Mi didn't think much of the host's position, after all, in two months, Sunny Sky would have her own TV station, and it would be better to be on her own TV station if she were to make a match for Mango TV.

The reason why Yang Mi is going to participate is mainly to bring newcomers and give them a little exposure.

Due to the popular release of "Big Shot" before, among the six newcomers, Xia Wanxin and Ma Yuke can be regarded as budding talents, and Yang Mi has already arranged a suspenseful web drama for them.

The other four were not as good as Yunqi. After they completed the drama training, they have been playing some small supporting roles in the major crews.

Yang Mi saw that they were all working very hard and their acting skills had improved significantly, so she planned to create a play for each of them, playing the male or female lead or something.
