Chapter 1133: Cautiously Optimistic Forecast Box Office

Regarding their cautious consideration, Yin Jun also nodded, "In the future, there will not be too many films like this, we should still focus on small and medium-cost production, I know this." …… However, you also have to know that this world is not static, for example, this time "Terminator", with high-cost special effects and IMAX, how much it has changed people's viewing experience, I think you can also see it, right?"

The two of them understood, nodded, and Tanya said: "As long as anyone who looks at the IMAX screen, they will be impressed by this great technology, which is indeed a good enjoyment, and I think I will also bring my family to watch it." ”

In contrast, Rondo said more directly, "Although the price of IMAX theaters will be very expensive, if it is "The Ultimate", I think there will be a lot of fans who will pay for it, and they will definitely not regret their decision!"

"The film entertainment media group I want to do is not one of the seven major Hollywood companies, but the undisputed number one in Hollywood. Yin Jun said to them, "Therefore, while maintaining our own production and consolidating the foundation with small and medium-cost films, we must also produce our own representative works, which are the kind of works that others can't do and produce very shocking works." For example, this "Terminator". ”

"Not even the 'Speed of Life and Death' you made yourself?" said Robert Egger next to him.

"Not really. Yin Jun shook his head, "Life and Death is far from enough. ”

When he said this, everyone thought he was too modest.

If you want to say that before Yin Jun made a movie, everyone would definitely think that this young man was less than 20 years old, and he actually took 25 million US dollars to make a movie, which was simply crazy and a waste of money.

But as soon as "Speed of Life and Death" came out, it was hard to regret "Superman 2", and completely overwhelmed "Superman 2", achieved very good results, and a better reputation, everyone will think, oh, Yin Jun is really a genius, super genius!

"Speed of Life and Death" has reached the best in the past 20 years in terms of plot structure, thrilling action scenes, and various special effects, and this kind of popular action movie that transcends the boundaries of the times has become a monument to Hollywood movies and points out the way forward for many filmmakers.

The movie praised by industry insiders with such a reputation, Yin Jun himself was still not satisfied, if he didn't know that this boss has always been humble and serious, everyone would still think that he was pretending.

Actually, Yin Jun was telling the truth.

Even though the original "Speed of Life and Death" appeared ten years later than "The Terminator", no one has ever regarded "The Speed of Life and Death" as a milestone movie, but "The Terminator" is.

The significance of the two in film history is completely different.

"The Terminator" is a masterpiece that pioneered sci-fi action movies, and "Life and Death" is an extremely wonderful action movie, nothing more.

Yin Jun knows himself, although he can shoot "Terminator", and even "Titanic", he can definitely shoot "Avatar".

Since "Titanic" in 1997, no matter how good the later movies are and how many superhero movies have swept the box office, only Cameron himself can beat Cameron.

That's what separates a genius from an ordinary person.

That's why he wanted to cultivate Cameron from the beginning, and tightly tied him to the Kirin culture, making him a symbol of the Kirin culture, and constantly climbing to the indisputable peak of Hollywood with the Kirin culture.

Everyone doesn't know why Yin Jun is so optimistic about "The Terminator", but because of this, it is clear that Yin Jun's attitude towards this movie, or his expectations.

Tanya looked at Rondo, and waited until the latter nodded, then he said, "Since you are so confident, President, then we will definitely negotiate the number of theaters seriously...... According to our current estimates, there should be more than 1,600 movie theaters in North America, including ours, more than 3,000 screens.

In Europe and South America, the cinema operators we contacted temporarily had to wait until they saw our samples before making a decision. We're going to do that within a week as soon as possible, and then we're going to get more than 5,000 screens in Europe and South America as well. And the Asian side will have to ask the colleagues of the Heung Kong branch.

According to our estimates, if it detonates the market all of a sudden, coupled with your influence in Asia, the box office of $200 million should not be a problem. But I'm afraid that people can't accept this kind of robot chasing down good guys, especially the plot where the actor dies in the end, so the best plan is to save $150 million at the box office, and then we rely on videotapes and TV broadcasts to make money. ”

Coming out of the IMAX theater, Tanya and Rondo had been discussing it while they were in the car, and with their years of experience and judgment, they came to this slightly conservative conclusion.

But they don't think it's wrong, and when making these market predictions, they would rather underestimate than overestimate, otherwise the consequences will not be general.

The plot of the movie is good-looking, but this kind of plot where the male protagonists are all dead is a failure, and Americans are also more particular, and many people don't like to watch it.

Yin Jun smiled and didn't tell them about it, he actually gave him the script of "Terminator 2" at the same time after Cameron took over "Terminator" last year.

This is to allow Cameron to leave the foreshadowing of "Terminator 2" in the plot from the first filming, so that it can echo back and forth.

Of course, this is also a way to continue to tie up Cameron, as long as Cameron wants to continue filming "Terminator 2", then he must cooperate with Yin Jun, with Cameron's character of not doing things at his best, as long as he sees that liquid robot, he will definitely be willing to continue filming "Terminator 2".

If the male protagonist of the first episode does not die, how can there be the brilliance of the heroine and the little male protagonist of the second episode, and how can it be the turn of the righteous robot to come back to protect them?

All the unwillingness in the first episode will turn into perfect sweetness in the second episode, making people excited and happy to watch.

The 3,000 screens mentioned by the two should be the fourth-ranked number of movies in Hollywood film history.

The first three Yin Jun are very familiar with the previous three films, the first of 4,700 films in the film history of ".," the second is the 4,049 of "Superman 2", and the third is Yin Jun's first work "Speed of Life and Death", 3,220 photos.

Speaking of which, it is also influenced by "Speed of Life and Death" and "Superman 2", in the past half a year, the movies produced by the seven giants of Hollywood, as long as they are blockbusters, have exceeded 2,000 opening pictures, and especially confident movies have 2,500 and 2,800 opening data.

Tanya and Rondo know Yin Jun's expectations for "The Terminator", after all, they can spend $50 million on the production and publicity costs, and it's no wonder if they are not optimistic.

In addition, "The Terminator" does have a good plot and viewing effect, and it is a very box office impact movie, so they discussed the number of 3,000 screens.

Knowing this, Yin Jun is quite satisfied with the work of the two, "If there are 3,000 screens, it is enough." Of course, you can contact a lot, especially with the movie theaters that can be added in the follow-up after the box office explosion on the first weekend, you should not give up contact. ”

"Good. ”

The two nodded in response, a wry smile in their hearts.

I really don't know where the boss got so much confidence, and he still thinks that the box office will be a big hit in the first week.

In fact, none of the people present knew that Yin Jun was not particularly confident when he said this.

In the previous life, "The Terminator" was so classic, but it was only a box office of 70 million US dollars, no matter how you say it, it was because it was not announced, but there were no movies that exploded at the box office with excellent quality, and there are more, such as "Beverly Hills Detective", "Boom", "Back to the Future" and so on.

But Yin Jun must show his faith in "The Terminator" at this time.

Even if the box office in North America does not meet his expectations, at least there is a box office in Asia to look forward to in this life.

Asian movie fans, for Yin Jun's movies, have now reached the point where they must watch every time Yin Jun writes a screenplay, and there is no problem in increasing the overall box office by at least 350 million US dollars.

Even Yin Jun feels that in Japan and South Korea, which especially worship European and American culture and robot culture, it is very likely to explode a lot of box office.

After all, Japan has a population of 130 million, and South Korea has 50 million, which is basically more than half of the United States.

Before the Chinese box office of "Transformers 4" directly exploded the domestic box office in the United States, for more than 40 years, if you don't count the whole of Europe together, Japan has always been the second largest box office in the world.

It's just that before 1997, half of the second largest box office belonged to the territory of Xiangjiang, and after 1997, after the complete decline of Xiangjiang films, the box office of Japanese movies became Hollywood's bag, and Chinese filmmakers could no longer snatch back their own share from it.

The same is true in South Korea.

Not only did Chinese filmmakers fail to reproduce the glory of Xiangjiang Films' dominance of the Korean box office, but on the contrary, many Korean films came to China to make money and conquer the city, which has to be said to be a kind of retreat for Chinese filmmakers.

It can also be seen from here how powerful and professional the older generation of filmmakers in Xiangjiang were.

Saying anything is empty talk, only by looking at the results, can we know who is more powerful.

Before Hollywood swept the world, it is an indisputable fact that Xiangjiang films dominated the box office in Japan, South Korea and even Southeast Asia for nearly two decades, and it is an achievement that you have to admire.

But on the other hand, we can despise this group of Xiangjiang filmmakers who only know how to eat the old book, it is precisely because of their lack of progress and lying on the credit book that the Asian box office market is lost so quickly, which will make it so difficult for Chinese and local films to take over in the future.

But as long as they are a little more aggressive, keep their foundation a little more generous, instead of only knowing how to make money and destroy all their reputation, how can it be so difficult for Chinese films to open up overseas markets after entering the new century?

Even "Thai Embarrassment", "Wolf Warrior 2", "Iron Fist of Shame", "Monster Hunt", etc., which exploded at the box office in China, are simply ignored in Southeast Asia, Japan and South Korea, which is indeed very confusing to countless Chinese filmmakers.

How can you make a movie that meets everyone's aesthetics?

How can we successfully implement the export of culture like Hollywood?

This is all a problem that Chinese filmmakers are still thinking about and pondering before Yin Jun is reincarnated.
