China Entertainment: Indulge in Vanity Fair

Chapter 431: Blockbusters are released one after another, making them extremely popular

Spielberg was also shocked. As a world-renowned director, who would have thought that only one of the films he has directed so far has grossed more than $10 billion at the box office, and that was the first "Jurassic Park" In 1993, it received US$11.13 billion.

Since then, none of his films has received more than 10 billion U.S. dollars at the box office. Even the most famous "ET" has not received 10 billion U.S. dollars at the box office. This is something he has always regretted.

He was a little shocked when he heard He Fang promise that this sequel could earn more than 16 billion US dollars at the box office. He thought about it and realized that he could make this movie himself.

He repeatedly thought about He Fang's filming of this movie, and he didn't feel that He Fang put much thought into it. He obviously participated in the filming when it was time to shoot, and then he did not participate in the pre and post-production.

The most important thing is that all the shots used by He Fang did not exceed his imagination, they were all shots that he thought he would also use... So, why did He Fang earn more than 16 billion at the box office after filming it?
Spielberg didn't understand this, so he asked where to go.

"Steven, I'm sure of it, and I guarantee with my character that the global box office of this movie will exceed 16 billion US dollars." He Fang smiled, looking at Spielberg's confused look on his face and he wanted to laugh.

"What's the secret?" Spielberg asked, not giving up.

"Feeling, this is called business sense. There are some things that I can't explain clearly. For example, when I took over the filming of Paramount's new film "Ghost in the Shell," I felt that the box office would only be around 6-8 million U.S. dollars. This is how it feels. , because as soon as I read the story and shoot, I can tell whether a movie can sell well at the box office."

He Fang pretended to be mysterious and said.

"..." Spielberg was so surprised that he couldn't speak.

……

"Where to bet on movie box office: [Jurassic World] global box office will not be less than 16 billion US dollars"

"[Jurassic World] is as exciting as ever, maybe it can achieve an ideal box office"

"[Jurassic World]" is well-made and the world's top blockbuster.But the story routine failed to break through, and the future is unclear."

"As promised, will the box office go as he wishes?" 》

"He Fang is a magical person. What he says will always come true. Will it continue to be magical this time?" 》

……

At the cocktail party in the evening, He Fang answered a lot of similar questions and continued their bets.

He Fang drank some wine that night, and then had an encounter with a new actress in Hollywood. This actress is called Anya Taylor-Joy. The Witches" movie and became famous.

The little girl in 96 was just 20 years old, and she was as young as a flower.

Obviously, this kind of tidbits broke out quickly. Although they were denied by the two parties involved, it was obvious that no one believed it.

As a result, Anya Taylor-Joy gained the attention of the global media. This is traffic that a young actor would be hard-pressed to gain on her own. Now, all she needs to do is spend one night with He Fang to become globally famous.

This is their need. As long as they can become famous around the world, there will always be many people searching for who Anya Taylor-Joy is, and then her works and photo albums will become popular all over the world. Correspondingly, her salary and Notice fees will increase.

That's the benefit, so what if you could spend a night with someone as globally famous as He Fang?I couldn’t ask for it.

It doesn't matter where she is, she can do it if she likes. Anyway, he didn't lose anything and gained substantial benefits.

After all, he is also a man, and all men like girls. Although this girl is twenty, she is still about eighteen.

In the next few days, they went to London and Shanghai one after another and attended two premieres, which caused a great response.

After all, the IP "Jurassic" is world-famous. Anyone who is a movie fan will definitely know it. Secondly, Spielberg and He Fang, two world-famous directors, are even more famous. Finally, He Fang's 16 billion box office highlights confidence. Some people are eager to see the true appearance of the 16 billion movie.

Therefore, the popularity is very high, and the producers like it very much, and even quietly told He Fang that they would share the box office share even if it did not reach 16 billion. This effect is very good.

He Fang just smiled and said nothing. After the event, he returned to the crew of "Operation Red Sea".

With global attention, "Jurassic World" was released simultaneously worldwide on June 6.

The global movie-going craze has emerged, and the first box office to be released is the East. Mainland China received 2.2 million yuan and 3500 million US dollars on the first day, island countries received 745 million US dollars, South Korea 390 million US dollars, Taiwan Province 267 million US dollars, and Hong Kong 131 million US dollars. India US$222 million, Malaysia US$115 million, Philippines US$111 million, Singapore US$87...

The first-day box office in Asia exceeded US$6500 million. It can be said that it ushered in a super explosive first day at the box office in Asia.

Next was the UK with US$996 million on the first day, Germany with US$485 million, France with US$412 million, Spain with US$249 million, Russia with US$234 million, and Italy with US$167 million...

Europe as a whole took in US$4238 million on the first day, another new high. It is already very impressive that Europe can get such a high box office.

Next, there are several box office highs outside of Europe and Asia, such as Australia’s US$389 million, Mexico’s US$421 million, Brazil’s US$290 million, and Argentina’s US$154 million…

Of course, the most important thing is that the first-day box office in North America took in US$8300 million, which is the biggest hit among the big hits.

Taken together, "Jurassic World" took in US$2.18 million at the global box office on its first day, which is already a huge hit.

Public opinion immediately became more confident about He Fang's claim that the box office exceeded US$16 billion. I thought he was bragging before, but now I think he is stating the facts.

Because if calculated according to the proportion of the first-day box office based on the normal box office trend, the total box office can reach 20 billion US dollars.However, in fact it may not be so good, and not all areas will be very standardized.

In some areas, there are endless problems such as piracy, box office theft, deliberate suppression, and early release. Therefore, the box office generated will not follow a normal trend, but will only have a previous wave of high box office.

Following the box office trend, the film took in a global box office of US$6.7 million on the first three days and three days. Now no one doubts the total box office of US$16 billion.

As a result, He Fang received calls from the presidents of the six major Hollywood film companies, including Lionsgate Pictures, all of whom invited him to negotiate film contracts and hoped to cooperate with him to create a legend of high box office.Although 27 billion or 29 billion is a record, and 16 billion is not considered high, in fact, 27 billion or even 29 billion only means two or three in the world. This is basically very difficult.

Of course, Fox boasted to He Fang that it was willing to support He Fang in making a movie with a box office of over 30 billion U.S. dollars. Fox dared to invest heavily.

Of course He Fang knows Fox's courage, but he doesn't want to cooperate with major Hollywood companies...

After hanging up all the enthusiastic calls from Hollywood, He Fang Anxin is filming his movie on the crew of "Operation Red Sea". The box office of "Jurassic World" is also rising day by day, and it took only seven days to exceed one billion. The US dollar box office exceeded 13 billion in the next ten days, and exceeded 16 billion in half a month...

"Jurassic World" is working hard to hit the box office, "Operation Red Sea" is working hard on filming, and He Fang's new film "Pacific Rim Uprising" is also about to start promoting, and is scheduled to be released on July 2.

This is another blockbuster, because "Pacific Rim 1" has a good reputation around the world, and the box office is not low. He Fang, as a newcomer, won 1 million U.S. dollars at the global box office with "Pacific Rim 6.3". of.

Moreover, all fans who like He Fang have watched his "Pacific Rim 1", and the media is also familiar with it.Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that this is a mature IP.

Now that the second part is coming, people are paying attention to how much box office it will generate. Of course, the most interesting thing is what will be the plot of the second part?He Fang has not yet made a sequel movie written by himself. This is a point of doubt. How will the sequel of He Fang be made?Can it be done?

So He Fangcai had been filming on the set for more than 20 days, and he had to go to the promotion again.

Of course, He Fang won't have much energy to follow up on this promotion, after all, he is still making movies.

So this time the promotion is mainly for the actor, who uses "Jurassic World" to build his own popularity.

This is a bonus for being part of a series of blockbuster releases.

It is a pity that his film will no longer receive cooperation bonuses from Hollywood, but in order to show its goodwill, Universal Pictures used other methods to help provide consulting services for the global promotion of "Pacific Rim 2".

This consulting service is very simple. It is to help Tuanhuo Culture's publicity and distribution companies connect with local publicity and distribution companies in various countries. Universal Pictures is not involved. It only introduces and tells Tuanhuo Culture's publicity and development personnel how to open up relationships, and then they use Asian companies. A sum of money called 'corporate consulting service fee' was collected to avoid the name of global promotion of Tuanhuo Culture.

Their approach is simply in line with the needs of Tuanhuo Culture, so Tuanhuo Culture quickly connected with established companies around the world and spent huge amounts of money on publicity and distribution in various countries.

He Fang's publicity and distribution expenses for this batch have reached 1.5 million US dollars, in order to strengthen the cooperative relationship with local companies and lay the foundation for future film publicity and distribution cooperation.

So in July, most theaters around the world have been overwhelmingly promoting "Ring 7", with trailers, posters, outdoor events, ticket giveaways, and shopping mall activities...

Anyway, many viewers have a feeling that a super blockbuster is coming again. The director who just created the box office hit of "Jurassic World" has joined the schedule of "Jurassic World" with a new film, allowing the audience to watch another blockbuster. See enough.

Also borrowing from the promotion model of "Jurassic World", three premieres were held before the release, one was the world premiere in Beijing, China, the other was the North American premiere in Los Angeles, and the other was European premiere in Berlin, Germany.

具体安排是7月3日全球首映（京城），7月5日（欧洲首映），7月7日（北美首映）。

On July 7, in Beijing, Tuanhuo Culture invited Asian journalists and some Asian film critics to watch the premiere. This standard must be achieved.

He Fang's special plane also arrived in the capital on July 7. He arrived at the right time, but he had no choice. The filming of "Operation Red Sea" was very tight, and there was no time for him to come back early.

When He Fang arrived at the National Center for the Performing Arts at noon, everything had been arranged and the crew was waiting for him.

"Director He, I thought you couldn't make it. Don't let the director fail to arrive at the movie premiere. This is a situation I have rarely seen." Wu Jing joked.

"Didn't we arrive on time? Oops, I really don't have time. I'm so busy and I'm so busy. By the way, how is the filming of your movie going?" He Fang asked Wu Jing.

Wu Jing's "Wolf Warrior 2" has also started filming, but most of the scenes he chose are in China, and unlike "Operation Red Sea", most of the scenes are overseas.

"It's not like that. I have already factored in the announcement time, so I won't delay things." Wu Jing said with a smile.

He Fang patted his shoulder gratefully. This time the "Wolf Warrior 2" pie was taken by Tuanhuo Culture, and Tuanhuo Culture accounted for the majority of the investment.

"Okay, if you pay more attention when promoting later, it will also help when your movie is released next year. I will let the company's publicity push you out and promote you more."

"Ha, that's great. Thank you very much, Director He."

"Why are we so polite?"

……

All the main creators are very active in promoting this time, because He Fang has just released a movie with a box office of more than 17 billion US dollars. Now I heard that it has exceeded 17.8 billion US dollars, and it is certain to reach 18 billion US dollars at the box office.

As for the director who is very popular right now, everyone can’t help but be active.

When the main creators all walked on the red carpet and appeared in front of the media, the media and netizens discovered an interesting thing. It turned out that this Hollywood female star was the queen's actress.She was the heroine or one of the heroines in two consecutive blockbusters. She was the heroine in "Jurassic World" and one of the heroines in "Pacific Rim 2". She also collaborated with He Fang in more than three movies... …The actress is Bryce Dallas Howard.

"What are the scandals between Bingbing, Zhilin, Liu Yan, and Anni and He Fang, so they are all covering up his relationship with Bryce Dallas Howard? Bryce Dallas Howard is He Fang's true love. Many movies She is featured in big-selling movies..."

"So it turns out that He Fanghao likes this kind of person? Why does He Fanghao like people two or three years older than him to spread scandals?"

“Tsk, I don’t even know how Bryce became so popular. I feel like she has been the heroine in many blockbusters, but I haven’t seen her compete for Oscars or Golden Globes. Why is this? Why is there no one like her? Actresses with a halo of honor frequently appear as heroines in super blockbusters?"

"Don't tell me, I also find it strange, why was she chosen as the heroine? Does she have box office appeal?"

……

While the internet is buzzing about Bryce Dallas Howard, the red carpet premiere of "Pacific Rim 2" is already in full swing.
