Super entertainment red envelope

Chapter 877 Five hundred million on the first day!

A few days later.

The overseas version of Rotten Tomatoes has finally landed globally.

However, it is impossible to rely on the Maoyan APP to complete user connections like in China, and it can only develop slowly.

And public relations, advertising and other expenses and means are indispensable.

The Rotten Tomatoes app, in particular, is jointly promoted by several major application platforms, and Oriental Entertainment even signed a built-in agreement with a certain mobile phone brand.

The Rotten Tomatoes APP collects global movie information, movie ratings, reviews and other information. It can be said to be the castrated overseas version of the Maoyan APP, except for the business of buying tickets.

The review of King Charlie's movie first appeared on Rotten Tomatoes, which wasn't part of the app's promotion plan.

However, it inadvertently caused hundreds of millions of people around the world to flock to the Rotten Tomatoes website, especially British users, who registered accounts one after another and praised their king.

Almost overnight, the number of users of Rotten Tomatoes rose sharply, which was much stronger than the domestic growth rate.

Both domestic and foreign Rotten Tomatoes are accessible. This is the first time in the history of the Chinese Internet that the shackles of the wall have been broken. However, if Chinese people want to browse the overseas version, they must switch to the English international version.

At the same time, although there is no domestic version of the Rotten Tomatoes app, you can still see reviews of movies by overseas users on the Maoyan app.

Overseas netizens recognize and love the scoring system of Rotten Tomatoes.

They all wrote in the message board:
"Oh! I like this APP so much. It is a simple and direct scoring method. If you like it, you can score red tomatoes, and if you don't like it, you can score green tomatoes. You don't have to think about how many stars I want to give or how many ratings I want to give like other rating websites. The score is just right."

"I'm going to move all the movie reviews from XX.com over here!"

"I can't live without this app anymore. It can also see which movies have been released recently, but it would be great if I could buy tickets directly!"

"It's great to be able to see Chinese movie information, so that I can rely on the freshness of tomatoes to find my favorite Chinese movies to watch!"

"Me too. Ever since I fell in love with Li Zhifan, I have also fallen in love with Chinese movies. I love this country!"

"This is Val's hut, welcome to rate my film review, address..."

For the overseas version, there is still a strong review mechanism, but for the movie review system, there is no requirement that you have to buy a ticket to score on the Maoyan APP. Instead, you can score as long as it is released, no matter new movies or old movies. ,it's the same.

At this time, the shareholders of Danmo Media have undergone a major change.

Those shareholders at the time of mergers and acquisitions are only in single digits.

When these people came to their senses and found that the Maoyan APP had been connected to overseas countries, and had opened up many systems with the overseas version of the Rotten Tomatoes APP, they were all dumbfounded, and it was even more regrettable.

The advertisements placed by those foreign advertisers earn US dollars!

If I had known this earlier, I would have let Li Zhifan change it blindly!
Just follow along!

"Oh, if I had chosen to trust Li Zhifan back then, I definitely wouldn't have sold my shares!"

"At that time, what we considered was not whether we believed in Li Zhifan, but whether or not Oriental Entertainment would say that we had become garbage, and our stocks would become worthless toilet paper. We never expected..."

"Let me just say, you guys are too worried. A commercial company as big as the Eastern Group will spend a lot of money to buy something and let it depreciate and lose money?"

"Then why did you leave with us?"

"Well... I donated. I plan to invest in the entertainment market. Recently, a company made two films. Are you interested in investing?"

"..."

Li Zhifan really thought about completely suppressing Danmo Media, and then playing with capital injection to bring it back to life.

The money lost at that time can be doubled and earned back in the stock market.

Therefore, the purpose of this move is only to make the shareholders obedient, and to exchange blood if they are not obedient.

Many members of the Filmmakers Association sold their shares in Light Mo Media, and some even bought shares in a disguised form.

In others, several people raised funds to form a company, and then joined forces to buy the equity of a certain shareholder.

Now, with the success of Maoyan APP and Rotten Tomatoes at home and abroad, the market value of Danmo Media has soared to twice its original value, reaching an average of 37 yuan per share.

In the past, each share was only 12 yuan, and when those filmmakers bought it, it was only 8 yuan.

Now, seeing them making money, those original shareholders are naturally itching with hatred, but they are helpless.

Because Li Zhifan and Dongfang Entertainment never talked to them about the equity change from the beginning to the end, and they didn't even hold a meeting to dissuade them. They agreed to leave even more generously.

At this time, these original shareholders began to wonder if this was a game that had been set up long ago, just waiting for them to drill in!
……

In a blink of an eye.

The release date for The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring has arrived.

Globally, there are 21 regions in the first batch of countries where it was released.

These include the whole of China (including Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan), the United States, England, Wales, Australia, etc.

The United Kingdom is the most special case.

England and Wales are released today, but Northern Ireland and Scotland are released 12 hours later, and I don't know how they plan.

But this is not a question of Li Zhifan's relationship.

Now he is sitting firmly in the tent of the Chinese army, waiting for the news of the box office success.

eight pm.

Throughout Oriental Entertainment, the office hall of the team responsible for the announcement of "The Lord of the Rings" was brightly lit.

Everyone is working overtime.

On the other side, the office hall of Li Zhifan's management team was also lit, but there were only a few people.

Inside the office, the lights were off.

But Li Zhifan was inside, sitting on the boss chair, looking up at the ceiling, waiting for news.

After a while, he fell asleep.

When I woke up again, it was still dark.

Li Zhifan took out his phone and looked at it. It was already 4 o'clock in the morning.

"What the hell!"

He stood up hastily, walked out of the office, and asked the night shift staff in the hall, "Has the box office for the premiere been out yet?"

"Come out! Brother Li!"

The staff hurriedly picked up the documents and reported, "4490 million domestic, 8000 million US dollars worldwide!"

"Oh! That's about the same as we guessed?"

The budget was made before, and 21 countries premiered at the same time, which is about 5000 million to 1.3 million.

1.3 million is the limit. Although it didn't make it, it got 8000 million at the box office at the premiere, which is enough to brag for a while.

"Are you posting soon?"

Li Zhifan asked, the celebration poster for breaking 40 million has already been made, and a [-] billion US dollar poster has been prepared, but it is not known whether it can be used.

"already sent!"

The staff said, "It will be posted as soon as possible!"

"Okay, then you are busy, go to the lounge to sleep for a while if you are sleepy!"

Li Zhifan nodded, yawned, walked back to the office, turned to the staff before entering the door, and said, "Xiao Song, pour me a cup of coffee! Thank you!"

Now it seems that without his command and operation, the people below can already finish the job.

After all, they are all professionals, and Li Zhifan is only offering opinions now. After a movie is made, it has nothing to do with the director.

Online.

The official blog of "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the Ring" is a big deal.

When others send out celebration photos, they are all calculated according to the domestic box office.

But the official blog of "The Lord of the Rings" is based on the global box office, and the word "dollar" is written very large.

This is of course not admiration, but to tell everyone: You see, we have earned so much, except for the domestic box office, most of it is foreign money!
Netizens also love to join in the fun.

Seeing the words "2 hours after the release, the world broke 1.3 million U.S. dollars", I was so excited that tears filled my eyes.

Although the premiere is 8000 million, there is only mainland China in the world. There is only one show at 12 o'clock, and another one at 02:30 am, and then it will be at [-] o'clock tomorrow morning.

In Europe and the United States, in addition to the premiere at 8 o'clock, there are other screenings open at 9 o'clock, mainly for the purpose of clearing the crowd, so after 9 o'clock, another 5000 million U.S. dollars came into the account.

"Ah! Chinese films are finally going global!"

"Shot by Chinese, filmed in China, with a large number of Chinese actors, the first Chinese movie in the true sense, although it is Western fantasy, but we succeeded!"

"No matter what the subject matter is, this time Li Zhifan and Dongfang Entertainment have contributed the most!"

"Li Zhifan, bull beep!"

"Director Li, I want to act!"

"What is the concept of 1.8 million? 10 billion RMB! The premiere is only 10 billion. This proves that only a bigger stage can have so many box offices."

"Movie tickets in the United States are also calculated in US dollars. I heard that a ticket over there is 10 US dollars, which is equivalent to 60 yuan, and it is not cheap."

"Our movie ticket is only 35 yuan a piece. If it is the same price, it will cost 8000 to [-] million?"

"That's also RMB. Although we are already the second largest film market, compared with the global film market, the magnitude is not the same unit!"

"..."

Not only domestic netizens, but audiences all over the world have expressed their views on the movie after watching the movie.

Rotten Tomatoes has become one of the gathering places for movie fans around the world.

Many people who don't know about Rotten Tomatoes also know about this website from the Internet at this time.

As a result, the average number of daily visits continued to increase, and the server crashed several times.

There is no way to do this. There is not so much traffic every day, so you can only buy cloud servers. When you need to upgrade, you spend money to upgrade. When you don’t need it, you can maintain the original level.

On Rotten Tomatoes:

"Oh my god, what a quality movie!"

"I was amazed by Orlando's appearance, Li Zhifan is so beautiful!"

"The moment Gandalf fell off the bridge, I really cried..."

"Orlando Bloom has too few roles, why doesn't Li Zhifan add himself?"

"Li Zhifan only has a few shots, it's a pity!"

"If you want to feel the epic charm of the magical world, go to the cinema and watch "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" as soon as possible!

"Epic-level story, every scene is beautiful, the favorite is the elf prince, after all, he is a face control, but the plot is limited and slow, it is really not suitable for people like me who have never read the original work!"

"Frodo is too good-for-nothing, right? He will be called Gandalf!"

"Human nature and other creatures have their own fragility, so even if you choose kindness, you can still be vulnerable to other directions, just like the queen of the forest!"

"Using evil means to achieve good goals, essentially fighting evil with poison, and fighting evil with evil, just like the son of Gondo in the past, are all produced when human beliefs are not firm enough and the inner strength is getting weaker and weaker."

"For such a movie, there are only two words to describe it: classic. I hope there will be a second movie soon!"

"Well, I don't like European and American magic, but I still like Chinese fantasy."

"There are more adaptations than originally thought. In addition to the shortening of the timeline, there are several changes to the storyline. The biggest point is that there is an extra storyline. It's hard to say whether it is good or bad. In terms of visual restoration alone, "Magic" Caution, which was once impossible to adapt to film and television, is now adapted to a first-class standard."

"..."

Short reviews will naturally have different opinions on whether the movie is good or not, but the freshness of Rotten Tomatoes is still maintained at 100%. It can be said that the red tomato was smashed only with the scene and character modeling.

In these short reviews, domestic and foreign comments are mixed, but Chinese people can only see their own comments on the Rotten Tomatoes website without switching to the international version. On the Maoyan APP, there is a special section called "Look at See what the crooked nuts say" sub-column, after clicking on it, you can see short comments from foreign audiences, which is very convenient.

Down the first day.

"The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" grossed $1 million worldwide.

At this rate, it will definitely reach the preset box office in a month.

Cinemas in many countries have given 89% of such high-ranking films, such as England and Australia.

No country’s film schedule is lower than 55%. Taken together, the global film schedule is as high as 60%, and this is the first batch of 21 countries to be released. After adding the box office obtained by other countries, it will boost the performance of "Avatar". The box office record should be fine.

If the first part is successful, when the second part will start filming has become a topic of national concern.

Especially those sponsors and investors contacted Dongfang Entertainment immediately to inquire about the shooting of the second film.

But Li Zhifan doesn't plan to shoot in the next few years, or at least he has to wait a year or two before talking about it!
With the release of the film, the actors in the film also became popular, and the teenager who played the leading role even appeared in the American Times magazine and became the youngest movie actor.

In other supporting roles, many Chinese actors have also received a lot of attention around the world. They have become famous in the Chinese entertainment industry, and film appointments have come one after another like snowflakes.

Among them, Aziguli is one of the Chinese actresses who have successfully become popular.

On the university campus, she received an extraordinary audience. There were countless boys waiting in line at the door of her classroom every day, and there were so many calling her name downstairs in the dormitory.

But Aziguli was able to calm down, not vain or anxious, and still doing what she should do, and she would not immediately accept the play appointments that came to her door.

Because she knows that there is a better future waiting for her.
