Chapter 787: The limelight is unstoppable

The premiere was of course very successful, and "Die Hard" grossed as much as $15 million in the first week, becoming the first film in '88 to gross more than 10 million in the first week, and also breaking the record of $11 million in the first week of the previous "Vulgar", of course, it was the record of the Saint Tang Company itself.

This time it has caused an exclamation in the American entertainment industry.

Don't look at the box office of the two movies "Vulgar" and "Die Hard" can easily exceed 10 million in the first week, you must know that in the 80s, even in the United States, the average film market performance in a year is about one billion dollars, and the world does not reach two billion.

Of course, this is the average, if there are good works this year to drive the box office, then it can be slightly higher, otherwise, it is a bad movie, then the box office will be lower, unlike more than 20 years later, the box office in the United States will easily exceed 10 billion in a year, and the world can exceed 20 billion US dollars.

Therefore, in an environment where the total annual box office is just more than a billion US dollars, a film with a box office of more than 100 million US dollars is enough to make directors and actors famous, and Quentin Tarantino has become a rising young director in Hollywood from a freelancer who hosts small banquets for others with the film "Vulgar", which has a box office of more than 100 million US dollars.

The most obvious feature of a movie with a box office of over 100 million is to look at the box office of the first week and the box office of the current month, basically more than $7 million in the first week and $30 million in the month, once these two conditions are met, then the box office of this movie has a chance to exceed 100 million.

The box office of "Die Hard" in the first week was 15 million US dollars, which far exceeded the first standard of 100 million yuan box office, so it is now possible to conclude that the second film produced by Shengtang Company has once again entered the ranks of 100 million yuan box office, and the next thing is to see if this movie can break through 200 million.

The media reported on it.

"There's no doubt that Die Hard has all the genes of an action blockbuster, and it's a rare and wonderful film in recent years, perfect for a family weekend viewing!"

"Bruce Willis played a down-and-out boxer for us in 'Vulgar', the only thing we remember is his fiery temper, and in 'Die Hard' his violent temper eliminated the terrorists that even Interpol couldn't help but do, this lad succeeded ......!"

"The Saint Don company can be called a star manufacturing factory, Sibella, Jessica and several other singers are rising, Adeis will not talk about it, maybe in two years her historical status can be compared to Madonna, Quentin Tarantino was dug up by the Saint Don company from the Los Angeles Fire Department, and now it is Bruce Willis' turn......... Young people, if you want to be famous, hurry up to the Shengtang Company, Jimmy Liu, a magical child from the mysterious East, seems to have alchemy, whoever he points to, whoever he points to, who can become famous overnight.........!"

Like in his previous life, Bruce Willis became popular with the movie "Die Hard", and other companies have come to him to film, and his salary has soared from $400,000 to more than $1 million, stepping into the ranks of first-class stars.

As the media said, Shengtang Company went hand in hand in music and movies, all the works were big hits, the fire was a mess, and the dollars flowed into the account of Shengtang Company like flowing water, and even all the singers and actors were famous, and their worth soared like a rocket, which is a miracle.

Everyone can see that in all the songs produced by Shengtang Company, the lyricist is Jimmy Liu, and even his name is in the arrangement, the screenwriters of "Vulgar" are Jimmy Liu and Quentin Tarantino, and the screenwriter of "Die Hard" is only Jimmy Liu, that is to say, all the works produced by Shengtang Company are from Jimmy Liu, and he is the reason for the miracle.

There are many people who suspect that Jimmy Liu is a gimmick, and there must be a team behind the creation, but the real connoisseurs don't think so, and even the old film companies such as Paramount and Fox firmly believe that it is this eight-year-old child who has made everything about Saint Don.

The reason is very simple, Hollywood screenwriters and songwriters are numerous, everyone knows what level they are, and they must be hot songwriters who can write a divine comedy like "Baby One More Time", plus this song is so popular that it is the first place on the charts in many countries, if Liu Lang plagiarized other people's works, the real author would have jumped out a long time ago, and any feelings in the face of huge interests are fake.

These are all common sense, you can know the truth and falsehood at a glance, which also explains why everyone is obedient to Liu Lang, a child, and even the proud director Lucas is respectful in front of Liu Lang, because they all know that without Liu Lang, there would be no Shengtang, and without Shengtang, they are nothing, this is the truth.

So why does Liu Lang have such a wealth of creative inspiration? No one knows, and it can only be explained by genius, so many Hollywood stars, especially singers, want to ask Liu Lang to invite songs, but unfortunately their wish is destined not to come true, Liu Lang is the boss of Shengtang Company, and people are not bad for money, who can invite him? Besides, if there is a good song, will it be given to singers from other companies?

Only Michael Jackson publicly admitted that Liu Lang wrote a song for him, which can be regarded as a testimony to the friendship between the two, but that is Jackson, and others are not.

Now there are many people in the American entertainment industry who have called Liu Lang an entertainment prodigy, and predict that he will have the opportunity to become a godfather-level boss in the entertainment industry in the next 20 years.

Of course, there are many people who disagree, thinking that Liu Lang's creation will not be so terrifying every year, even the genius Michael Jackson has only released three albums in ten years, and he has personally written seven or eight songs, Liu Lang's creative ability is at best on par with Michael Jackson, and with the passage of time, his creative ability will definitely flatten out, and it will definitely not be as productive as in the past year.

Those fans and fans hope that Shengtang Company will continue to be "crazy", after all, everyone likes such a good work, but other film and television entertainment companies don't want this, your works are all platinum sales of more than one million a year, and you don't let others live? This is simply a monopolistic behavior, monopolizing the entire entertainment industry, it won't take two or three years for other companies to eat, this kind of behavior will be targeted in any country, that is, now, many entertainment companies have privately started to counteract, for example, Sony has privately contacted Adès, hoping that the other party can part ways with Shengtang Company, even if it will pay tens of millions of liquidated damages, Adès will be poached.

The top management of Shengtang Company didn't know about this yet, but even if Liu Lang knew, he wouldn't be afraid, could they poach Adeis but themselves?
