Chapter 191: A Perfect Hollywood Tour

What should I do if a shark appears swimming in the sea?

When Leonard found out that it was a real shark, a question crossed his mind.

Almost at the same time, however, another thought crossed his mind, and it was the only thought that came to his mind at the time.

Escape!

Mi Lijian has dozens of shark attacks on humans every year, and there are many movies about sharks.

However, it is only discovered when you actually encounter a shark in the water.

Between life and death, it's terrifying!

He didn't know how he managed to get out of the shark's pursuit, how he swam to the boat, how he managed to get ashore.

From the moment he found out that it was a real shark, he had already imagined in his mind the tragic situation of the various dead in the "Jaws" he had just watched.

was swallowed directly, or torn into pieces of stumps, or ripped off a leg to save his life.

Anyway, no matter what the result is, half of the soul is lost.

So that when he returned to the shore safely, he still looked like he was not giving up.

Among the few people in the group, Jim was similar, from the moment he heard Leonard shouting sharks, he immediately remembered the "Jaws" he watched last night, and he only knew that he swam to the shore like crazy.

The whole people on the water and on the beach were now all alarmed by them.

Even if there are thirty or forty shark attacks on humans every year, most of them occur in Florida on the south coast, and there are relatively few on the west coast.

The shore was full of suspicious tourists, pointing at the group of them, and some with binoculars looking out at the sea level.

Soon, reporters from ABC and NBC also arrived.

The shark was still swimming in the sea in the distance, proving that Leonard was not lying.

In the face of the interview, Leonard immediately became excited, venting his feelings for the rest of his life in front of the camera, talking about how dangerous it was to be chased by sharks just now.

"The shark was less than ten feet away from me, and I could even feel the breath coming out of his mouth, it was the smell of death and hell!"

"It chased me for ten minutes, ten minutes, you know?"

"The most dangerous time, he bit off my shoes!"

"God gave me strength!"

......

Leonard paints a vivid picture of the perils of the time, of course, artistically.

In fact, it only took him 40 seconds from the time he spotted the shark to the time he got on the boat, and the shark didn't chase him at all, and people were hanging out there.

The reporter also admired a person who was able to escape from the shark head-on, or was chased closely for ten minutes and shook off the shark, so he asked, "Can you describe the shark?"

"Jaws!"

As soon as he said this, Leonard was excited again, "It must be a great white shark, just like in the movie, that's right, it's a great white shark!"

"What movie?"

"A Chinese movie, called Jaws, is exactly the same as the shark in it. ”

Jaws?

For a Chinese movie that suddenly appeared in his mouth, the reporter was a little surprised.

If you can't see it through the telescope, there is indeed a shark in the sea in the distance, and you have to wonder if this is a deliberate hype by the Chinese to promote the movie.

......

As one of Mi Lijian's largest TV stations, ABC and CBC reported a news program at the same time, and they were also on TV, and their popularity immediately increased exponentially.

Soon the whole United States knew that there was a shark attack on humans in California on the west coast.

The Floridians say it's all okay and that it would be news if no one gets attacked by a shark in any year.

For this kind of thing, the people of Mi Lijian are still watching the show, anyway, it didn't happen to them, and there were no casualties.

"Sharks in California too? Coincidentally, a guy was attacked yesterday at New Mana Beach in Florida."

"Oh my God, it's horrible, I can't imagine how I can get out of the water when I encounter a shark. ”

"Coward,"

"What kind of movie is Jaws he is talking about, and why haven't I heard it?"

"It seems to be a Chinese movie, and it seems to be a movie about sharks. ”

"I like Chinese kung fu movies, but horror movies should forget it. ”

"I've already placed an order with Netflix, and it just so happens that the number of leases this month hasn't been reached yet. ”

......

Although he has no confidence in Chinese movies, there are still some Mi Lijian people who are curious, a person who has just escaped from the mouth of a shark, and immediately mentions another shark movie, what kind of movie is it, which made him think of a movie when he just escaped.

Purchased in stores, or rented by Netflix for home delivery, hundreds of viewers across the United States watched "Jaws" in front of the TV on this day.

Moreover, the audience who recognizes the movie, some also recommend it to others in the thriller horror film circle.

Although it is a real commercial movie, the theme of horror and thriller can definitely be said to be niche, niche movies are difficult to produce high-quality products, and there are not many audiences, so naturally they slowly have their own circles, and once they encounter a good movie, they will recommend it separately.

"Jaws is a very good Chinese movie, although the shark doesn't appear often, but I always worry about when it will suddenly appear!"

"I can't believe that Chinese people can make such a good thriller and suspense movie, and when I take back my previous words, sometimes it can really surprise people. ”

"The unknown shark is the real horror, and suddenly I feel that many horror movies are weak!"

"Although I suspect that there is no money for special effects to make sharks appear less, but I have to admit that the horror atmosphere is even stronger, and the sharks have not appeared, the more uneasy I become, until the sharks appear to attack humans, and I am relieved. ”

"I found that the director of "Jaws" has several other works, and the three movies "Sniper Phone Booth", "Frequency of Life and Death", and "127 Hours" are also very good. ”

......

The appearance of a real shark made "Jaws" a little famous, and also led to the sales and rental of DVDs.

Colombia has also invested a little in publicity, after all, six films have also spent tens of millions of dollars to buy the rights.

"Jaws" directly entered the top 50 of the DVD sales chart in the second week, and the other three movies also sold a little bit.

In half a month, the DVD sales and rental amount of the four films reached 2 million US dollars, which was completely unexpected by Colombia.

Strike while the iron is hot, and on Friday, September 18, two films "Jaws: Revenge" and "Moon" will be arranged to land in the theater market.

Although the film market is very cold and the competition is small, both films only have 500 or 300 screens.

After all, it is a Chinese-language movie, and there is no actor familiar to Mi Lijian, and it is not a unique film genre such as costume blockbusters.

Hollywood, as the world's largest film producer, the audience here basically only watches some genres that are not available in the local market.

Whether it's horror or sci-fi, there is no shortage of these two genres in Hollywood, and it is not surprising that there are few films.

However, the box office is quite impressive, especially "Jaws: Revenge", which directly got 5 million box office in the first weekend.

Although "Moon" is much worse, it is only $1.9 million for three days, which is already a lot of value for the $2 million overseas full copyright fee.

Four on DVD and two on theaters, all of which have achieved good results, and Li Qian's trip to Hollywood can also be said to be perfect.
