Chapter 557: Box Office?(1/3)
Watching "Iron Man" at prime time in the evening.
Fans said that they flocked to the movie, and many fans who didn't buy tickets and could only go to other movies were full of resentment, and even several couples quarreled because of it.
Obviously, the charm of this movie has been magnified countless times under the spread of netizens.
However, no matter how hot it is, only the results speak for themselves,
It's not the last moment, and no one knows who will kill the deer.
At this time, in the United States of America, Hunter looked at Owen in front of him with a smile on his face.
Director Owen, according to market feedback, "Mermaid of the Deep 3" is likely to break the box office record of the previous film and reach $1.5 billion.
God, Director Owen, you really are the king you deserve.
Who else is your opponent in the film industry?"
Hearing this naked sycophant, Owen shook his head a little funny.
"Hunter, you don't need to say it so nicely.
The world is big, and there are many capable directors.
There are definitely not a few people who can compare with me. After speaking, he said indifferently: "But,
In this period, "Mermaid of the Deep Sea" is definitely not comparable to anyone else!
Cause?
If you have to have one,
Well, just because,
I'm Owen."
The tone was unrivalled with a powerful confidence.
As the world's top super director, he deserves all the honors and praise!
The smile on Hunter's face became a little thicker: "Director Owen, of course, you are of course the best."
A Li Qingfeng, what a strange name,
How can this Chinese man, who has not yet grown his hair, compare with you?
For God's sake, it turns out his ignorance. After speaking, he paused, as if he remembered something, and continued: "Over there at Sherrett Pictures,
See if you can get those lobbyists to intercede with the Ministry of Justice and refuse the Huaxia takeover.
I've heard that you know the Minister of Justice well......"
There is a very conscious profession in the United States of America.
Lobbyists.
In this world where capital is king, super multinational companies like Microsoft, Amazon, etc.,
Every year, tens of millions, hundreds of millions of dollars are spent to lobby for the Pentagon.
What to lobby for?
related to the policy and even the ban on the opponent.
For example, if a commodity is exported, the tariff is too high,
Those multinational giants let the lobbying department go to Congress, go to Congress and lobby members of parliament to get them to amend the law and reduce tariffs.
Most of those lobbyists are politicians who once worked at the heart of government power, and they have huge connections in the government.
Perhaps every piece of legislation can save those giants hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars in additional spending.
Therefore, this magical profession is extremely prosperous in the Mi Federation.
If when does the Mi Federation appear an inexplicable law, but in favor of a certain industry.
There is no doubt that there must be some giant behind this.
Behind the federal government, there are big capitalists who are playing games with each other.
Even the president of every circle is just a representative of an interest group.
What kind of paradise of freedom? This sentence is the biggest joke, and it is not even possible to talk about painting a flatbread to satisfy hunger.
Behind the prosperity is the naked blood of the capital world.
The law and the government are all pawns of the game between capital.
And like Henry, there are definitely not a few people who crack down on foreign competitors through government departments.
In the previous life, Huawei has been surrounded and suppressed by Europe and the United States, isn't it just that it has moved the cake of those telecom giants, and when they are powerless, the government is the biggest weapon.
This world is never as beautiful as it seems.
Owen shook his head: "Hunter, I won't interfere in this matter, Sherit Pictures is very good, and Kesford should have it too."
However, it should be up to the company to do it, whether it's an acquisition or anything else, I'm not going to be involved.
I know the Minister of Justice, but I'm not as close as I think."
Owen's refusal disappointed Hunter a little, but he didn't dare to say anything more.
Owen has huge connections in the political and business circles, and he can walk sideways in this capital world, and he can't offend him.
"I'm sorry Director Owen, but I was reckless and shouldn't have caused you trouble"
After apologizing, Hunter immediately regained his excitement: "With you, Sherett is just sugar in your pocket, you can reach out and take it"
Owen didn't talk too much, stretched out his finger and pointed to the luxurious office, and said lightly: "Hunter,
It's almost twelve o'clock, and when the final box office statistics come out, what you want will be easy."
Hunter glanced at the quaint hanging clock on the wall, the hour hand was almost 12.
"Hahaha, of course, as long as the box office of "Iron Man" is not high, the eastern company will definitely not have the money to continue to buy Sherrett Pictures.
I've checked the details of Edge Pictures clearly, more clearly than ever."
Owen wondered, "Oh, Kosfford doesn't have that much influence, right? Especially in that ancient country."
Henry laughed and said: "The film and television industry in that country doesn't all want him to be good."
That young company is now facing the same predicament as Sherrett Pictures, but Edge Pictures is only being topped by nine companies."
After saying that, as if he had thought of something, he said with a little disbelief on his face: "
Oh, God
Can you imagine how crazy that young director in Huaxia is?
Director Owen, you don't know ......"
Hunter immediately became interested when he talked about this, and kept telling the news he heard in Huaxiatan.
The tone was tinged with indescribable schadenfreude.
It's so cool, let you spoil my good deeds, and let your Edge Pictures give a blood transfusion to Sherit.
was surrounded and suppressed by half of the film and television circle in China, and dared to reach out to my territory, I'm afraid I'm impatient!
Owen was also very different after listening to it, he didn't expect the director of "Spider-Man" to have so many stories.
"What a boy full of miracles"
The young director named Li Qingfeng has already won his respect at this time.
Twenty-one years old.
He was twenty-one years old, seemed to be still in college, and was busy partying and chasing girls all day long.
Such a result is too rare.
Bang bang bang~
There was a knock on the door.
"Please come in"
Babble~
A blonde walked into the office with a smile on her face.
"Director Owen, Manager Hunter, the premiere box office of "Mermaid of the Deep 3" is out. ”
The atmosphere in the room was very indifferent, and neither Hunter nor Owen took it too seriously.
Owen, in particular, didn't have any nervousness in his eyes.
In this schedule, there are not a single movie that can pose a threat to him.
Sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai platform, you will naturally not worry.
Hunter smiled casually: "Sally, you are still so beautiful and moving, Mary is home? Also, she just got married,
Sally, did "Mermaid of the Deep 3" break through $100 million at the box office in North America?"
"Mermaid 3" was released worldwide, and North America only accounted for less than one-third of the market.
It is conceivable that if it can exceed 100 million US dollars in North America, what kind of level will the global box office reach in total.
Sally stroked her long golden hair and said with a charming smile: "Manager Hunter, director Owen, "Mermaid of the Deep Sea 3" broke the record of the second part,
The premiere was a success at the box office of $110 million. ”
Owen nodded in satisfaction.
has reached his tone, and with the box office in other regions, how can the premiere reach the height of 200 million US dollars.
The goal of 1.5 billion is not impossible to hit.
Hunter laughed and said, "Director Owen, God is on us."
You are irreplaceable!"
After finishing speaking, he looked at Sally and said with a playful smile: "So, who is behind us?"
Sally picked up the A4 paper in her hand, looked at it, frowned and said, "Manager Hunter, it's a Chinese movie"
Owen nodded: ""Iron Man" is only ranked below us, which is not bad,
That young director of China is indeed a genius."
That posture is that the elders are looking down on the juniors.
From beginning to end, Owen did not regard Li Qingfeng as an opponent,
"Mermaid of the Deep" has never seen "Iron Man" as a threat target.
Who is he
Irving!
Owen, who won three Oscars for Best Director!
A world-renowned top director!
Is it necessary to compare with a twenty-one-year-old guy?
Owen shook his head, it's really boring to use me to suppress this guy.
Those old opponents don't come out,
Who can compete?
For a while, I only felt the loneliness of the master, and gently picked up the red wine glass, full of comfort.
Hunter pouted unhappily: "Hmph, it's cheaper for that Huaxia, what is his box office?"
"$33.2 million"
Owen was a little puzzled: "How could it be? With the reputation of "Spider-Man", no matter how bad the North American box office is, it will not be as good as the second place is only more than 30 million US dollars."
Hunter was overjoyed: "It's definitely "Iron Man" that was defeated by "The Mermaid of the Deep Sea",
No one is your opponent!
As I said, Director Owen, you are the king of the film industry!
How can a Chinese director be compared to you!
How can "The Mermaid of the Deep Sea" be comparable to a Chinese movie!!"
Sally was slightly stunned when she heard this, felt that she glanced at the report in her hand, and then hurriedly said: "Manager Hunter, that movie is not called "Iron Man"
It's a Chinese movie called "Qingcheng Sword Immortal"
Then his face was a little strange: "Iron Man is not ......"
