Chapter 930 Changes (3,1/3)(1/2)
The theatrical release of "Transformers" is quite different from that of "The Flash" in the same period, but the box office figures are ridiculously high, which is not realistic at all.
Many media and many Hollywood film companies have doubted the authenticity of the box office data released by Oriental DreamWorks.
They even suspected that this outrageous box office data might be mixed with water.
That is, Oriental DreamWorks faked it.
In just one day, all kinds of news and comments that were unfavorable to Oriental DreamWorks suddenly became extremely violent.
It was obvious that someone was behind this.
However, Oriental DreamWorks still has no explanation for this, which makes some people's attacks even more unscrupulous.
"This is not a scientific matter at all. The box office data is too outrageous. Some people may think that the people of the United States are too easy to fool, so they come up with such watery box office data."
Pan American Entertainment Chairman Coakley said in a very hateful tone during an interview with the media.
"We must severely crack down on film companies that falsify box office data. This is simply a challenge to the credibility of our country."
On the TV screen, Coakley waved his fist and shouted like a fighter without compromise. After saying this, he got into the car and left quickly.
Yang Ming was in a hotel room in New York, watching Coakley performing hard on the screen, and couldn't help laughing.
This guy is truly a natural actor.
At this time, the picture on the TV changed, and other reporters appeared for interviews. All of them were well-known people in Hollywood. The reporters were asked about their views and opinions on the box office of Oriental DreamWorks' "Transformers".
Many people directly raised questions, and many people directly criticized Oriental DreamWorks for disregarding Hollywood's competition rules for their own selfish interests. Of course, some people expressed neutral opinions in a more subtle way. The matter has not been clarified yet, so they will not make any comment.
evaluate.
It seems that he is still a foresighted person!
Yang Ming thought secretly in his heart. Then he turned around and saw the worried look on Niu Hua's face. He immediately guessed what the other person was thinking and couldn't help but chuckled: "Brother Niu, don't worry, the data are all true. Everyone tonight
Everyone will know what’s going on.”
In order to completely reassure Niu Hua, he then handed the other party a few pieces of paper, which were the faxes just sent by Barber.
Niu Hua took the fax and after reading it for a while, he couldn't help but asked with surprise on his face: "Is this all true?"
"Of course!" Yang Ming said decisively.
After hearing Yang Ming's words, Niu Hua relaxed. He knew that Yang Ming could not lie to him about this kind of thing. This made the pressure he suddenly suffered today disappear all of a sudden.
All relaxed.
After all, this trip to the United States is related to his international development route, so Niu Hua naturally attaches great importance to it.
But he didn't expect that the rumor that Oriental DreamWorks was cheating on the box office suddenly broke out yesterday, which made him very stressed and passive, because the news had spread back to China and caused an uproar.
"It seems that some people are still unwilling to give up! It's not good for us." Yang Ming looked at the news on the TV screen and sighed leisurely.
Niu Hua was startled when he heard this, but he quickly recovered. He is also an old man who has been in the entertainment industry for many years. He obviously knows the rules of the entertainment industry very well. Whether it is the United States or China, it is basically the same routine.
In the past two days, rumors about the fake box office of "Transformers" suddenly broke out. If there was no one involved, he would not believe it even if he killed Niu Hua. This rumor came out of the blue and too fast.
At this time, Barber, who was far away in Los Angeles, was also watching the news interview on the TV screen, with a sneer on his face from time to time.
Especially when he saw Coakley's answer when facing reporters, he couldn't help but cursed to himself: "Idiot!"
As the boss of a Hollywood movie giant, it is simply childish to make such a clear-cut speech before the matter is clear.
Once things change, Coakley will certainly be in disgrace, and Pan American Entertainment's reputation will not be much better.
After all, in the eyes of outsiders, Coakley is equivalent to Pan American Entertainment.
Didn't this guy realize that no other film company of equal status came forward in this planned and purposeful news interview?
What a fool!
When he thought of this, Barber felt a twinge of pain in his heart. He had been with Pan American Entertainment for more than 20 years, how could he not have any feelings at all.
But since he left Pan American Entertainment, based on the reactions of many of his former employees, the company is now in a state of chaos. Coakley has no intention of focusing on the company's business expansion. He only knows how to create big news and appear on the scene all day long.
In front of the flashbulb, he became a topic in the newspaper news.
Now the company's people have been torn apart by Coakley, and they no longer have the integrity they had when Barber was there.
Although Barber also used his special status to bring some people from Pan American Entertainment to Oriental DreamWorks, he did not touch the foundation of Pan American Entertainment at all. The people he brought here were basically all after he left.
Because they have their own brand, they were all relegated to the sidelines by Coakley. If Barber had not brought them to Oriental DreamWorks, they would have chosen to leave their jobs and seek development elsewhere.
According to feedback from their recent contacts with some friends and confidants in the company, more and more people are no longer prepared to stay at Pan American, and some people have even contacted them to ask if they can come to Oriental DreamWorks.
After learning about this, Barber felt an indescribable loneliness in his heart.
"Since it has become brilliant in my hands, it is better to end it in my hands than to let others destroy it!" Barber suddenly thought decisively in his heart.
As an old man in Hollywood, even if Barber didn't know why fake box office rumors would pop up out of the blue, he could still guess who was behind them.
Except for Dimei, there is no one else.
It is estimated that the other companies can't escape the relationship. They are pushing the boat and adding insult to injury. This is a method they are very good at.
Only the idiot Coakley stood in front of the stage. The others never appeared in front of the stage during this rumor. Even when they were interviewed, they only spoke some official words.
"I hope you will have other means by then." Barber sneered.
Just when the rumors about the "Fake Box Office" of "Transformers" were getting more and more popular, Barber, the CEO of Oriental DreamWorks in Hollywood, suddenly announced a press conference.
Then he took out a detailed box office data and announced it in public, and he declared that everyone is welcome to check and verify.
When this detailed box office data was announced and the entire Hollywood heard about it, there was a complete silence, and then only deep shock and amazement remained.
"Oh my God! How is that possible? The 3D box office data is so incredible!"
"Is the box office prospect of 3D movies so good?"
"Have we entered the era of 3D movies now? Doesn't it mean that it will take at least ten years?" Wucuo Novel Network does not skip words.
"It's incredible. Hurry, call the company's top management for a meeting immediately. We will make immediate adjustments to our film shooting plan next year. Let's study the feasibility of 3D film shooting."
"Sure enough, the 3D box office data of "Transformers" occupies a very important part."...
After Oriental DreamWorks released this detailed box office data, most people in Hollywood suddenly realized that this was the case.
What followed was incredible shock.
The 3D box office data of "Transformers" is really so amazing that countless people in Hollywood can't open their glasses after watching it.
The premiere box office was 15 million yuan, of which the 3D box office was 9 million yuan.
The next day's box office was 73 million yuan, of which 3D box office was 40 million yuan.
The box office on the third day was 82 million yuan, of which the 3D box office was 43 million yuan...
When the detailed box office data was released in the past few days, it can be seen at a glance that the box office data of "Transformers" is several times higher than that of "The Flash" even though it has a much smaller number of theaters than "The Flash"
The reason is.
Probably because the box office of the 3D version of "Transformers" was so incredible.
Now no one doubts whether the box office announced by Oriental DreamWorks is adulterated.
In fact, many people thought about the possibility of 3D box office when fake box office rumors arose, but they did not choose to speak out. After all, for them, Oriental DreamWorks is also a competitor, which is too much
Going against the grain is not a good thing.
The media naturally knew it, but they did not choose to whitewash Oriental DreamWorks. That was not their obligation.
For the media, the best news is if it has gimmicks and eye-catching news.
It is obvious at a glance which of the two news, fake box office and whitewashing of Oriental DreamWorks, is more topical.
But now that Oriental DreamWorks has released this detailed box office statistics, they can only report it from another aspect. They have no choice but to change, because Oriental DreamWorks has asked their partner media to start reporting this box office data.
Statistics, on the other hand, they heard that Oriental DreamWorks may be preparing to sue some media.
For ordinary people, it is extremely difficult to sue a media company.
Even people with small assets cannot do it.
But when the money reaches a certain level, it becomes difficult to say.
Who is Yang Ming? In addition to his world-famous evil talent, he also has another identity, that is, this young man is a super rich man with a net worth of tens of billions.
If someone pulls out a hair, even if it cannot bring down a media immediately, it can definitely drag it to death.
Not to mention the legal fees of 10 to 20 million, even 100 to 200 million would probably not be taken seriously by others.
Therefore, the media that had previously reported Oriental DreamWorks' fake box office immediately changed the topic and began to verify the reliability of this box office data from another aspect.
The fake box office rumors and news in the past two days have not stopped "Transformers" from becoming popular in the North American film market. It is not only popular, but also hard to get a ticket.
Especially for the 3D version of the movie tickets, basically all the tickets have been sold out within three days.
This is also the online reservation function of Meituan.com and Maoyan Movies. If it were not for the fact that these two mobile apps can only purchase movie tickets within three days, it is estimated that even movie tickets within a week would be sold out in advance.
In fact, the fame of the 3D version of "Transformers" has now spread throughout the United States and has become a must-see movie for countless young people. If you haven't seen it, it means you are out.
The extremely cool visual feast, the spectacular and epic special effects, and the classic and shocking battle showdowns have all become topics of frequent discussion among American movie fans in the past two days.
After watching the 2D version of "Transformers", many movie fans heard that watching the 3D version of "Transformers" is a completely different visual experience, so many people went to watch the 3D version again.
