553 [Island country breaks 10 billion]
The island nation of Tokyo.
Inside a movie theater owned by Toho Co., Ltd.
On the big screen, the picture of the Tyrannosaurus Rex being born and stepping on a small car is being projected, the mighty and domineering side, compared with the hero and heroine slumped on the ground, and a few screaming children next to them, it is really an indescribable shock.
"Si Guoyi!"
"Oh my God, this is horrible!"
“……”
The audience excitedly exchanged their heads and talked to each other.
Different from audiences in Europe and the United States, special dramas like "Ultraman" appeared in Japan very early, and there are many monsters in it, and dinosaurs are very small in comparison. Especially Godzilla, who was born in 1954, this monster with a bit of imagination with the Tyrannosaurus rex, is the favorite monster of Japanese monster lovers, so when the Tyrannosaurus rex appeared, the entire theater set off a boil!
The Tyrannosaurus Rex's unscrupulous saboteur laboratory, with its realistic appearance and 1:1 dinosaur model, made the entire laboratory and those stunned researchers look so helpless, and the exclamations on the scene sounded again.
When the plot reaches its climax, a group of armed armies with guns appear in front of the Tyrannosaurus Rex and are about to use thermal weapons to destroy it, and even the audience shouts "Don't!"
It's enough to see how much the Japanese audience loves monsters!
Time passed little by little, but in the end, they still failed to follow their wishes, and the Tyrannosaurus rex finally collapsed in a pool of blood after holding on for a long time.
When the easter egg appeared, the little Tyrannosaurus rex that came out of the eggshell stepped out of the wall and was about to enter the modern society, everyone couldn't help but sweat, they didn't care about whether the city would be destroyed, they were worried about whether the young Tyrannosaurus rex could survive.
"What a wonderful film!"
"I don't know when we're going to make such a good movie, every time I watch Ultraman, I'm beaten by those damn rudimentary costumes. ”
"Didn't you watch the beginning? This movie is invested by our Toho Co., Ltd. ”
"Is it Toho? Oh my God, wouldn't there be Ultraman?"
Tsuburaya Co., Ltd., which holds the copyright of Ultraman, has a close relationship with Toho Co., Ltd., and it is rumored that Toho owns a portion of Tsuburaya's shares.
"Then I'm looking forward to it! Ultraman fights little monsters!
Someone next to him heard these people talking nonsense, so he couldn't help but glance at them and said: "Don't talk nonsense, the tallest dinosaur Tyrannosaurus rex is only 15 meters, and the shortest Saiwen is 40 meters, which is simply hanging dinosaurs." ”
“……”
……
Toho Co., Ltd.
Haruka Asai was nervously waiting for his subordinates to report on the box office, because he was too nervous, he couldn't help but get up and walk back and forth in the office, trying to relieve the pressure.
Dongbao spent a lot of money to invest in this "Jurassic Park" this time, although he is very confident in the film, but no one is sure whether it will be a big hit until he gets a specific box office.
As the main person in charge of this project, Haruta Asai will naturally have a lot of pressure, and once it fails, he will be the blame.
"Knock Knock"
"Knock Knock"
Suddenly, there was a sharp knock on the door of the office.
Haruta Asai hurriedly ran to open the door.
"President Asai. The employee who knocked on the door was a little flattered to see the vice president open the door himself.
"Stop talking nonsense, is it out at the box office!"
"Yes, President Asai. ”
The employee looked at his excited appearance, and without saying a word, he picked up the brochure and reported: "At present, our Toho has an attendance rate of 87% in Japanese movie theaters, and the movie tickets are sold out as of 7 o'clock in the evening......"
"How much do you say about the direct box office!" said Haruta Asai.
"Two, two hundred and forty million yen. ”
240 million yen, and that's just the box office generated by Toho Cinemas!
Steady!
Absolutely stable!
After Haruta Asai heard this number again, the whole person was almost crazy, he grabbed his hair desperately, and couldn't help but roar: "Hahahaha, great, great!"
"Yes, President Asai, we succeeded!" the employee nodded proudly.
The current highest box office record in Japanese film history was set by George Lucas's "Jaws" the year before last, with a total box office of 9 billion yen, almost 700 million yen higher than George Lucas's "1999" two years ago.
And "King Kong", which was released four months ago, also won about 6.2 billion at the box office in Japan, which is enough to show how much Japanese audiences love this kind of monster movie.
So as soon as Haruta Asai heard that the box office on the first day, Toho Cinemas alone was as high as 240 million, he understood that the box office of "Jurassic Park" in Japan was stable!
After all, the box office of "Jaws", which raged last year, was only 170 million on the first day, and "Jurassic Park", which is higher than the box office, will definitely become a super blockbuster with 9 billion yen this year.
If there are Mr. Huo's book lovers who also cheer, this ...... It may not be impossible to sprint to the box office of 10 billion yen.
Haruta Asai thought of this, and the whole person was a little excited.
In fact, just as he thought, when "Jurassic" was released for a month, the box office in Japan was as high as 7.5 billion, which is 25 million yuan in US dollars at the current exchange rate, which is equivalent to more than half of the total box office in Asia. (The online search rate is roughly 300:1)
It sold 7.5 billion yen after only one month of release, and if it continues to be screened for a month, it will be a matter of time before it breaks 10 billion yen.
Countless fans are excited, and many people who haven't watched this movie are also very curious about the charm of "Jurassic", which is about to become Japan's first film to break 10 billion yen, mentioned in the newspaper.
When these people walked into the cinema, they were attracted by the realistic pictures in the movie and became fans of the dinosaurs.
……
The news of box office hits in North America, Europe, Japan and other places soon spread to Hong Kong.
At this time, Huo Yaowen had no time to care about these overseas box offices, he was surrounded by a group of reporters at the moment!
No way, as soon as "Jurassic Park" was released in Hong Kong, it almost crushed all the movies of the same period!
Make a point!
It's all movies!
Whether it is the Fengyue blockbuster "Slut Soul" launched by Shaw Brothers, "New Jingwumen" filmed by Golden Harvest for Chen Long, or "People in the World", which Qiong Yao asked Hu Yinmeng, the actress, to shoot for half a month, and more than a dozen films, all of them were trampled under the feet of this big dinosaur.
A reporter from Sing Tao Daily asked: "Mr. Huo, we just received a message from a colleague in the United States, they said that "Jurassic Park" has achieved a box office of $170 million in North America, and some American film industry experts believe that this film is very likely to surpass "1999" released three years ago and become the world's first film to break $1 billion, I don't know what you think of Mr. Huo?"
"It's naturally good to be able to break a billion, and it's okay if you can't break it. ”
Huo Yaowen glanced at the reporter and saw that it was not his own newspaper, so he also said a few perfunctory words.
A reporter from Ming Pao asked at this time: "Mr. Huo, some foreign media say that the movies adapted from your works are almost a big hit, and there is gossip that Paramount Pictures in the United States wants you to create a blockbuster film specifically for them, and the script cost alone is 1 million US dollars." ”
"A million dollars!"
"Oh my god, can a script sell for a million dollars?"
"Terrible!"
