Chapter 366 "Independence Day" pk "Godzilla" continued

Zhang Yi's words were very light, but to those pro-Japanese media, they just felt crazy!

"Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhang. Is it because you did not regard Columbia Pictures' "Godzilla" as a rival to your company's "Independence Day", so you did not compete with Columbia in terms of publicity?" A reporter

Suddenly asked loudly.

And when he asked, everyone remembered that it seemed that the promotion of "Independence Day" was indeed a little weaker than the promotion of "Godzilla"!

"Haha, no matter how overwhelming the publicity is, in the end it still depends on the quality of the film." Zhang Yi smiled and said immediately. Naturally, he would not say that the publicity of "Independence Day" is not as good as that of "Godzilla". That is because "Independence Day"

In terms of publicity, Colombia is blamed. Whenever the media mentions "Godzilla", it will always compare it with "Independence Day". This is also a disguised promotion of "Independence Day".

"Mr. Zhang means that "Independence Day" will win in terms of film quality." A reporter then asked.

"Haha!" Zhang Yi smiled, acquiescing.

"Mr. Schwarzenegger, does your coming to the premiere of "Independence Day" mean that you are more optimistic about this film?" Seeing that Zhang Yi had no intention of answering the question, a reporter immediately asked Schwarzenegger next to him.

.

When Schwarzenegger heard this, he was moved in his heart. After all, I am also the most popular actor in Hollywood. Why don't you ask yourself, are you just seeing yourself now?

It's really miserable to stand with your own cheap master.

"Of course! "Independence Day" is a script written by my master. Have you seen who has won three Oscars for Best Screenplay? Have you seen who has written scripts that dominate most of the global box office rankings? I

The script written by the master has never disappointed any film, and this film will certainly not be disappointed." Schwarzenegger said excitedly. Of course, there was a lot of flattery in his words.

Although it is flattery, I have to admit that what he said is the truth. Whether it is the box office results or the achievements in awards, the films written by Zhang Yi are beyond the reach of others. And the films written by him are indeed

It has never disappointed anyone. Besides, this film was designed to compete with Columbia Pictures' "Godzilla", which invested hundreds of millions of dollars, so how could it be bad?

Schwarzenegger spoke eloquently, but Zhang Yi always smiled and said nothing. Schwarzenegger is the most popular Hollywood actor today, even Tom Hanks, who just won the Oscar for Best Actor, is not as good as him. Naturally, he has

Has a huge fan following.

Tom Hanks was naturally invited to come this time. However, when asked, he was not as direct as Schwarzenegger, let alone as unscrupulous.

He and Schwarzenegger are both actors, and both of them are even imprinted with Zhang Yi. But Tom Hanks is just because of cooperation. And Schwarzenegger also has a deep relationship with Zhang Yi in private. He needs to take sides, but

Tom Hanks doesn't need it.

Of course, since he came to attend the premiere of "Independence Day", he naturally had an attitude.

Both sides invited him, and the other side also offered him a huge appearance fee. But he still chose to go to "Independence Day" which didn't give him any appearance fee.

Obviously, he knew that he went to "Godzilla". Although he received a good income, it had a great impact on him. After all, he just won the Oscar for best actor thanks to Zhang Yi. Moreover, now he is starring

"Saving Private Ryan" was not only written by Zhang Yi, but also produced by Jiying Film Company.

The premieres of both films were star-studded, and the number of celebrities who supported them was almost the same. But there was a qualitative difference. "Independence Day" relied entirely on personal connections and reputation to attract people, while "Godzilla" relied mostly on high prices.

appearance fee.

"I heard that there are a lot of celebrities going there. It's no worse than this!" Balidile said to Zhang Yi with a smile.

"Oh?" Zhang Yi was a little confused. Now that Columbia Pictures was acquired by the Japanese, it can no longer be compared with the past. Moreover, Jiying Film Company is fighting with him, and the entire Hollywood knows it.

Zhang Yi has extremely high and wide connections in Hollywood. Not to mention that most of the big names in Hollywood owed him favors during the hijacking case, but also because of the strength of Jiying Film Company and Zhang Yi’s ability to create stars.

It's not something that Columbia Pictures can compare with today. There's a reason why this happens.

"We invited them, they invited them and paid for them. To use a Chinese saying, it's called: the public is pretending to be fat! It is said that the appearance fee is an astonishing amount."

Regarding Columbia Pictures' behavior of trying to save face and suffering, Zhang Yi just smiled and said: "If they can afford me a heart-wrenching appearance fee, I can go over and support them."

No one knows how much Zhang Yi's appearance fee is. And the appearance fee that makes him excited is estimated to be an astronomical figure.

Balidile naturally knew that Zhang Yi's words were just a joke.

"They can't afford it, so they won't invite you. Inviting you over is not to support you, but to kick it off." Balidile smiled and said. Then he looked to the other side and asked Zhang Yi, "Will you do that?"

He hired your record company, but you asked him to switch to acting in movies. Isn’t it worth the loss?"

"His achievements in film and television are definitely greater than those in music." Zhang Yi smiled and said, "If I can recruit Michael Jackson to a record company, then it will be much easier for me to open up the European and American markets."

"It's not impossible. I heard that he was not very happy with Sony Records." Balidile said with a smile.

"Sony Records? Haha, then dig it over." Zhang Yi narrowed his eyes, then smiled, looked at Balidile, and said, "Find a way to make an appointment for me. I'll meet him first."

"That's no problem." Balidile said with a smile.

The story of "Independence Day" is actually very simple. It is the story of an alien invasion, and the protagonist stops the aliens and defends the earth. The investment in this film is not large, of course it is relatively small. With an investment of nearly 80 million, it can be made

Zhang Yi was still very satisfied with such a magnificent scene.

The president of this movie is played by George W. Bush, who is now the president's son, but Bush did not come to support him like he did when Zhang Yi's movie was released last time. Perhaps he is afraid of something.

Naturally, the film was an unprecedented success. The overwhelming applause at the end showed that the film's success was certain.

The next day the media reported on the two films one after another. Although the starting points were different, they were compared subconsciously. Without knowing it, "Godzilla" was completely defeated.

One tells the story of the invasion of aliens, the other tells the story of monsters entering the city. One defends the earth, and the other only defends the city.

Moreover, in terms of the scenes of the two films, although "Godzilla" is very visually stunning, it is lacking a little compared to "Independence Day". Especially the final aerial battle scene in "Independence Day", the flying saucer

, fighter planes, large spaceships. How can these be compared to a monster?

The investment between the two is exactly the opposite. "Godzilla" is much higher than "Independence Day". However, the investment is much higher, but the film produced is not as good as the one with a smaller investment. This is a judgment call.

Both films are at the forefront of public opinion, and their first-run box office is extremely impressive. Especially "Independence Day", written by Zhang Yi, is also Zhang Yi's first film after sweeping the Oscar. With his popularity in North America, the first-run box office is directly

It exceeded 20 million US dollars, which shocked many people.

"Independence Day" is extremely popular and has a strong sustainability. "Godzilla" was also very popular at the beginning, but unfortunately it is not very sustainable, especially when encountering the sniper attack of "Independence Day". You must choose one of the two.

, the vast majority of them will choose "Independence Day".

In its first week of release in North America, "Independence Day" took in more than 9,000 box office, undoubtedly becoming the North American box office champion for the week. However, "Godzilla" only took 40 million in the box office under the attack of "Independence Day"

, even the average of "Independence Day" failed to reach it.

What's even more tragic is that more than half of the 40 million box office was earned in the past few days.
