Chapter 25: Another Wave of Economic Losses Strikes (Part II)
The premiere of "Death 2" came out quickly at the box office.
Maybe it's because "The Grim Reaper" is so amazing, or maybe there are no movies in the United States that can compete with "The Grim Reaper 2", "The Grim Reaper 2" has hit an astonishing box office of $14 million in the United States!
It's five million more than "The Grim Reaper"!
This is an astonishing statistic, and when James himself saw this data report, he was stunned for a long time before he reacted......
The United States alone has 14 million dollars!
How many are there in the world?
James saw the global box office data again, and then saw a global horror box office of 30 million dollars!
$30 million worldwide, and it's a horror thriller category!
Even, there is no participation in a big market like Huaxia in this $30 million box office......
What does this mean?
It means that "Death is Coming 2" has exploded!
Even if James has a very good expectation of the box office of "Death is Coming 2", he thinks that this movie will definitely break the classification record, but ......
After really seeing this amazing data, he still fell into a trance, and the whole person had a sense of unreality.
This......
Is the world still normal?
.......................................
"The sequel movie has actually always been not very optimistic, I feel that this is ruining the classics, for example, the first time I watched "Ghost Shadow", it was extremely amazing, but when I watched "Ghost Shadow 2", I felt an indescribable sense of boredom, and I also had a feeling of ruining the classics after watching "This Man is from Earth" and then watched the second part, and also had a feeling of ruining the classics, in fact, the box office performance of "This Man from Earth 2" was indeed unsatisfactory and empty...... So, this time after I watched "Death is Coming 2", I have not been optimistic, but because of Lu Yuan's movie, I still went to the movie with a supportive attitude, and when I actually entered the cinema and saw this "Death is Coming 2", I suddenly realized that this is not a disappointing work, but extremely amazing......"
Carney, a professional Hollywood film critic, wrote such an article on the American movie network very seriously, except for some criticism of the actor's acting skills and felt that it was a defect, all the other places were praised......
She even called the film the most successful horror film produced by the "remote" company, and there is no one!
Her film review has been reprinted by many people, and the number of likes and popularity even exceeded the popularity of the first hottest film review of "The Grim Reaper".
"Death is Coming 2" does have countless praise rates, and many netizens also said that the filming techniques of "Death is Coming 2" are much more mature than the first one, and the plot in it, including some rhythms, is stronger than the first one, I don't know how many times, it is one of the most successful sequel movies in these years, the only regret is that I don't know how long it will take to wait for "Death is Coming 3", they really want to know if the so-called "Death" can be defeated, and what is the ending of the hero and heroine......
Most of the posts on "Death is Coming 2" on American Movie Online and Pacific Movie Online are praise, but, it stands to reason that with so many praise posts, the score of this "Death is Coming 2" should be very high, and it is even difficult to reach a god score like 9.0, but in fact, the rating of "Death is Coming 2" is lower than the rating of the first part with a total score of 8.3......
How low is it?
7.2!
That's right!
Whether it is the American Movie Network or the Pacific Movie Network, the score of this movie is directly as low as 7.2 points, which is almost comparable to some third-rate films, and this score has been showing a downward trend......
See this rating......
James was dumbfounded.
Not to mention James, even Lu Yuan himself was dumbfounded.
The comment area is all special, and then the rating area is getting lower and lower......
What does this mean?
Could it be that "Death Is Coming 2" is a bad movie?
That's not right!
How can it be a bad movie, how can a bad movie have such a crazy box office, how can there be such a good review?
So......
Could it be that he was messed up and maliciously swiped with bad reviews?
Let's see why these people give low scores!
When Lu Yuan saw the bad reviews in the rating area, Lu Yuan's expression gradually became weird.
"God, this is a garbage movie, after I watched this movie, my whole person is not quite right, I don't dare to drive now......"
"I have to give this movie a low score, why? After watching this movie, I found that I couldn't sleep when I went home, and I was worried all day about the lights going to hit my head!"
"I can only give one point, don't ask me why, I'm very scared right now...... I may have a mental problem......"
“......”
“......”
After reading these bad reviews, Lu Yuan didn't say anything when Lu Yuan received another phone call.
The call was from Orma......
After answering the phone, Lu Yuan looked out the window silently.
Expression......
A little embarrassed.
Should it come......
It's finally here.
..........................................
The global box office on the second and third days of "Death is Coming 2" is still very dick.
27 million and 25 million respectively!
In three days, the global box office totaled 82 million!
That's a staggering statistic.
Guinness Records immediately invalidated the record of the first part of "The Grim Reaper" and replaced it with "The Grim Reaper 2".
Although, the box office of "Death is Coming 2" is in full swing in the film industry to set a horror record......
But......
A lot of people are.
The former host of BBC TV in the United States, Kevia, is very serious, in a program, he said very seriously in front of the world that "Death is Coming 2" is a bad movie, and even openly said that the appearance of "Death is Coming 2" is a huge satire of the United States, a huge, panic-mongering anti-human hypocrisy movie, which should not exist in this world and should be banned......
Kevia's remarks set off a huge wave in the American media, and then some American auto brand companies stood up and agreed with Kevia's words, saying that Lu Yuan was a scourge, a big villain who harmed the American capital collective for no reason and harbored evil intentions!
These people really hate Lu Yuan so much, they can't wait to slap Lu Yuan in the face!
Why?
The influence of "The Grim Reaper" was very powerful, and it once affected American aviation, but it ushered in a small spring for the automobile transportation industry......
But "Death is Coming 2" directly froze this little spring into winter.
And it's ......
Large-scale continuous winters.
And all this......
It only took a few months!
The influence of "Death 2" is just too great!
After the series of crashes on the road, a large number of people directly gave up taking cars, and at the same time, the sales of some brand cars fell directly to the freezing point, which is even more unacceptable than the financial crisis more than a decade ago
According to incomplete statistics!
Three days after the release of "Death 2", the U.S. auto industry directly lost nearly one billion dollars, and an average of $300 million a day!
Of course......
Dental clinics across the U.S. have also lost far over $100 million!
Patients who had made appointments to see the dentist said that there was something here, something there, in short......
All of them didn't come.
Even those patients with toothache no longer have painful teeth after watching "Death is Coming 2".
In addition, the orders of the elevator industry in the past two days have suddenly froze, and some private villas have even considered installing stairs instead of elevators......
At the entrance of some buildings, everyone is crowded with elevators on weekdays, but now ......
The elevator was suddenly empty, and everyone was taking the stairs!
Of course, more sequential economic losses are still ongoing, and airlines that had returned to normal are starting to desert again......
After watching "The Grim Reaper 2", everyone remembered "The Grim Reaper 1" again......
Well......
It seems that it is still not safe to fly!
Forget it, don't take a plane, it's still important to save your life, it's important to save your life.
................................................
"Mr. Lu Yuan, do you understand?"
"I see. ”
"Oh......"
“......”
Four days later.
Lu Yuan, who was reading the script in the crew of "The End of the Earth", received a call from Orma again.
During this time, Orma would call Lu Yuan almost every day.
The content of the call is simple......
That's how much the U.S. economy lost yesterday and how much the U.S. economy lost today......
After four days, Lu Yuan listened in a daze as the economic losses of the United States soared to $5 billion, and according to the popularity of "Death is Coming 2", this $5 billion is just the beginning......
This wave down.
The total economy of the United States is estimated to lose 10 billion dollars!
Gee!
Billion!
That's a terrifying statistic!
"Death is Coming 2" has such a great influence, so wouldn't it be a ...... for his "Titanic" to blow up
Will the American steamship industry also be paralyzed?
Orma's call to Lu Yuan meant only to complain.
He couldn't get "Death Comes 2" off the air because of such a big financial loss.
After all......
The MPA gang aren't vegetarians, they have a huge amount of power!
Although Hollywood hates Lu Yuan very much, the old men of the Motion Picture Association of America have always been on Lu Yuan's side......
"That's the influence of our American films!"
"Although Lu Yuan is Chinese, this "Death is Coming 2" is a Hollywood movie, an American movie, and the director is also an American director!"
"No one is allowed to do anything about this "Death is Coming 2"!"
"It has to be released normally, because, it's the history of horror films, a milestone for horror films!"
“......”
And voila!
The attitude of the old men is so anal, almost dead, and even stubbornly followed Kevia, scolding Kevia for being a poisonous leader, sucking fans and fainting......
"Death is Coming 2" is in such a state, steadily refreshing the box office record all the way......
..............................
February 25.
"Ahh
“......”
"James? What's the matter with me? Everybody is holding money and buying us commercials for Death 3? Wait, the airlines are coming, too?"
“......”
