Chapter 1239 98 million(1/2)
98 million yuan!
When "The Fast and the Furious" was released in the United States on its fifth day, the single-day box office results were released on Wednesday.
Everyone in the entertainment industry at home and abroad involuntarily turned their attention to Yang Ming's new film, especially in Hollywood, where they felt the strongest.
Faced with such a figure that is infinitely close to 100 million, Hollywood's thoughts are extremely heavy and complicated. There are expectations, jealousies, and perhaps no hope that this record will be broken by a Chinese film.
If we could go back five years.
There is no doubt that Hollywood is extremely proud of the film industry around the world.
They conquered all countries.
Even though the East is praised by the West as the least likely to be conquered in the world, Hollywood has used movies to knock on the door of the East and realize the ideals that the Western powers could not achieve with their guns a hundred years ago.
But just when Hollywood was celebrating and cheering for victory.
A young Chinese man has risen in the Chinese film industry.
His rise was full of miracles and as fast as a comet.
At the same time, a newly established company called Oriental DreamWorks also grew rapidly with this young man. In the process of his rise, this young man immediately broke the shadow that Hollywood had just cast over Chinese-language films.
Hollywood had just set various records in the Chinese film market that were not yet popular, but this young man broke them and took them back.
What is most embarrassing for Hollywood is that there were several scenes in which Hollywood blockbusters collided with this young man, but without exception, they all ended in Hollywood failure.
If it were just that, it might not embarrass or threaten Hollywood.
Occasional failure doesn't mean anything.
But then this young man grew up so fast. Not only did he clear up the clouds for Chinese-language films, he also made all Chinese filmmakers see that commercial blockbusters are not exclusive to Hollywood. China can also produce equally exciting and blockbuster blockbusters.
The most important thing is that this young man's films have been sold to the American film market, and he has set foot in the back garden of Hollywood.
Originally, Hollywood didn't think it was a big deal for this young man to release his movie in the United States.
It is well known to all Hollywood film companies that there are very few successful cases of Chinese-language films at the box office in the United States.
Due to cultural barriers and aesthetic differences, it has always been almost impossible for Chinese films to achieve good box office results in the United States. This is the consensus of everyone.
It also took Hollywood nearly two decades to slowly allow East Asian audiences and moviegoers to accept Hollywood's commercial blockbusters.
But this young man once again created a miracle and made waves in the American film market with his films one after another.
It has repeatedly set box office records for Chinese-language films in the United States.
In fact, even the box office performance of most Hollywood movies is much worse than the movies made by this young man.
And because of the influence of an Oscar selection incident, this young man not only severely humiliated the academic group, but also still took away the statuette and became the biggest winner, which is still fresh in the memory of many people in Hollywood.
It was not until this time that this young man was officially taken seriously by Hollywood.
His name is remembered by everyone in Hollywood.
Yang Ming!
An ordinary Chinese name.
Now this young man once again wants to create a miracle, trying to reach a goal that even Hollywood has not yet achieved. The single-day box office has exceeded 100 million. It is impossible to say that all Hollywood film companies have no idea in their hearts.
Pan American Entertainment and CAA have not hesitated to use various relationships in the past two days, hoping to prevent Yang Ming's "Fast and Furious" from hitting the single-day box office record of over 100 million.
But all their efforts were in vain.
Although the domestic film market in the United States is Hollywood's back garden, it is not a place where they can do whatever they want.
Especially Yang Ming's movie, there are really too many interests involved behind it. For just one product placement advertiser, there are many internationally renowned companies willing to help promote "The Fast and the Furious" and solve some problems.
The higher the box office of "The Fast and the Furious" is, the greater its influence will be, which means the better the advertising effect they will have in this movie.
Yang Ming's previous movie "Transformers" proved all this.
At that time, when everyone was not optimistic about Yang Ming, China Geely Automobile spent a lot of money to implant a sports car advertisement. After the movie became a hit, Geely's sports car became the representative of the most popular and fashionable sports cars in the world.
Geely's brand value has increased by almost one-third.
Such an amazing effect was achieved through a movie advertisement placement.
Based on this, all companies and merchants that have advertising cooperation with "The Fast and the Furious" will protect this film to the greatest extent. The advertising effect Geely Auto obtained through "Transformers" is too tempting.
Even if it is impossible to achieve the same myth as "Transformers", with one movie and one car sales, as long as the advertising effect is half, these companies will be satisfied.
Coupled with other reasons, at this point, Pan American Entertainment and CAA can't just suppress it if they say it.
Even though there were some off-beat tricks, they were completely crushed in the face of the unparalleled strength of "The Fast and the Furious". This movie is simply a phenomenal film. Countless movie fans in the United States were completely conquered by this movie.
.
In fact, it has been four days since the movie was released.
"The Fast and the Furious" has almost been studied to death by the media and Hollywood.
Almost everyone has figured out why Yang Ming's new film can still maintain its success at the box office.
But when Hollywood really summarized the various reasons for the success of this film, they had to find out one thing embarrassingly, that is, Yang Ming actually used Hollywood methods to conquer the entire American audience.
I have to say, this is an incredible irony.
Conventional storylines, fierce and exciting fights, various eye-catching special effects shots, luxury cars and beautiful women, cool and handsome showdowns, tough guy showdowns, and other factors are almost all what Hollywood is best at.
But now it has been incorporated into a movie by Yang Ming and released in the United States to break the box office record that has not been touched by Hollywood.
What could be more embarrassing for Hollywood than this?
"Yang defeated Hollywood in the way that Hollywood does best!"
In the past two days, news reports with similar titles have become commonplace in various media outlets in the United States.
However, "Speed Drift", which had high expectations from everyone, disappointed everyone.
Leonard seems to want to prove to the world that he is the most outstanding film director on the planet, but he has forgotten his own special skills.
The entire film is worth watching except for some scenes.
Others are simply miserable.
I wanted to make a commercial blockbuster, but at the same time I wanted to express the artistic connotation of the film.
I have to say that Leonard's heart is too big.
Historically, it is true that no one has achieved a balance between business and art, but this person will definitely not be the Leonard of today.
So, he messed up.
Yanjing.
Oriental Dream Factory.
"Yang Ming's new film "The Fast and the Furious" has become a hit at the box office after its release in the United States. The single-day box office has hit new highs repeatedly. It has now reached 98 million yuan, and is expected to break the single-day box office record of more than 100 million yuan in the American film market."
"The US film market's single-day box office record of over 100 million has never been broken, and it will soon be broken by a Chinese film."
"Yang Ming avenged the local film industry a few years ago."
.....
In the office, Yang Ming looked at the various explosive news headlines on the Internet and felt a bit dumbfounded.
When Wednesday's box office data came out, the domestic media was truly alarmed. Especially when they learned what Yang Ming would mean to Chinese-language films if he broke this record, they became completely excited.
Many media outlets are arranging reporters to go to the United States as soon as possible, hoping to spread the record-breaking news back to the country as soon as possible.
At the same time, some media hope to interview Yang Ming.
It's a pity that their request for an interview once again fell into vain as before.
Yang Ming still has not accepted an interview.
He needs to calm down now.
No one knows better than him that the current external praise is actually not a great achievement for him.
The box office in a single day exceeded 100 million!
Yang Ming thought that in this life, he might be able to break through this situation that no movie had ever reached in his previous life, so he forcibly told himself that he must calm down.
The world is different, the environment is different, and the difficulty is also different.
The value of rice dollars in this world is obviously much lower than in previous lives.
The rice dollar in the previous life was the world's hard currency, and it was a means used by the United States to exploit the world. This value is guaranteed.
But in this world, rice dollars are far behind.
Not to mention anything else, oil in the Middle East in this world does not have to be settled in rice dollars like in previous lives. This has caused the status of the rice dollar to drop a lot, because there are two currency units that can be used to settle oil in the Middle East in this world.
In addition to the rice dollar, there is also the Chinese dollar.
Therefore, Yang Ming estimated in his mind that the single-day box office in this world exceeded 100 million yuan, which was equivalent to about 70 to 80 million yuan in the previous life.
There is nothing to be proud of.
Faced with interview requests from the outside world that came like snowflakes, he rejected them all.
