Chapter 1619: Wei Zai Becomes Famous!

This year's Oscars were supposed to be presented at the end of March.

Yin Jun came here for about half a month early to deal with a lot of affairs, but it was just in time for the release of "Mission Impossible".

As the president of the film division of Kirin Group's North American branch, Shirley Lansing's first film production, "Mission Impossible" has received a lot of attention.

is different from Tang Shuxuan, Yin Jun's descendant.

Everyone knows that Tang Shuxuan's movies are basically Yin Jun planning the overall planning behind them, and she is just an executor at best.

But Shirley Lansing was at the level of vice president at 20th Century Fox before, and after coming to the North American branch of Kirin Group, he was valued and promised by Yin Jun.

"Mission Impossible" except for the script given by Yin Jun and the actor being a native of Xiangjiang formulated by Yin Jun, the rest are all taken care of by Shirley Lansing.

After such a half a year, her first work is about to be presented in front of everyone, which will naturally attract the attention of many people.

Hollywood's giants are hoping that Shirley Lansing's first lead film will fail, thus affecting her prestige in United Arts Films and Disney, and delaying the development of both companies.

Yes.

They don't have the luxury of expecting the collapse of the Kirin Group now, with such an amazing and brilliant figure as Yin Jun behind the scenes, it is impossible for it to go out of business.

If Shirley Lansing doesn't do well, at best, Yin Jun will choose another puppet he thinks is suitable and develop the company according to his will.

The countless painful experiences in the past have told everyone that anyone who goes against Yin Jun's movies and wants to defeat his movies will be beaten to the ground in the end.

Last year, in 1983, Hollywood's total box office revenue for local films exceeded $20 billion, but the two companies of the Kirin Group alone combined for more than $6 billion, accounting for a full 30% share.

If it weren't for the other six major groups choosing to back down, everyone discussed the schedule amicably, and did not go against the Kirin Group, I am afraid that the data of this market will become lower, and then their own income will definitely decrease.

It's just that this time "Mission Impossible" is different.

The protagonist it chooses, Liang Chaowei, is at best a dazzling new star in Xiangjiang, and he can't reach the level of a superstar at all.

The three superstars of Xiangjiang have achieved success in Hollywood before, because they all happen to have their own most accurate positioning.

Zhou Runfa starred in "The Shawshank Redemption", which is a feature film in which the audience is most interested in the development of the plot, not necessarily whether the protagonist is white or not.

Coupled with the fact that he has the aura of a Cannes actor, it will naturally attract many audiences to the cinema.

The second Cheng Long, several previous movies, were operated by Golden Harvest to the United States.

Although the box office is not very high, many people who like kung fu movies recognize this big-nosed Xiangjiang star.

Then there is the witty and funny action movie "Red Fan Zone" that lays the foundation for Cheng Long, and has the aura of Yin Jun's screenwriter and Cameron's director, so "Die Hard" helped Cheng Long become a well-known Xiangjiang action superstar in Hollywood.

The third Fei Xiang, whose father is an American, is tall and handsome, which is most in line with the aesthetics of the Americans.

"Top Gun" also has the navy's unremitting efforts to help in publicity, so Fei Xiang is popular all over the United States, which is not unusual.

Compared with the previous three, Liang Chaowei actually played an agent of the United States, which made many people a little puzzled.

In particular, the copyright owner of the original TV series protested against this matter after the news came out.

But Yin Jun had a very clever arrangement in the contract, gave a lot of money, and set up an incredibly huge amount of liquidated damages, so they had no choice after a long time.

For this matter, Shirley Lansing is not as tormented as everyone imagined.

When greeting the guests at the entrance of the first movie theater, Shirley Lansing was smiling and did not look worried.

Originally, too.

"Mission Impossible" is a gift from Yin Jun to her office, just to let her establish her prestige.

knew that it was Liang Chaowei who starred in it, but insisted on giving it away as a big gift, isn't this absolutely sure?

As for Yin Jun's vision in movies, is there anyone still doubting?

So until the end of the movie, when the audience stood up and applauded warmly, Shirley Lansing was only excited for a while, and then she was full of pride and took the director and Liang Chaowei to the stage to thank them.

Shirley Lansing, who controls the two major North American film companies of the Kirin Group, won more than 2,300 screens for "Mission Impossible".

It's not the most, and it's not as good as the more than 2,800 premiere screens of Cameron and Cheng Long's "Die Hard", but this is already the limit of Shirley Lansing.

Audiences are used to voting with their feet.

Early the next morning, when Nielsen's box office statistics came out, many people who were not optimistic about "Mission Impossible" were surprised.

"Mission Impossible" grossed $18.8 million at the North American box office on the first day!

What the!?

Isn't that an exaggeration?

The year before last, "The Terminator", which was so explosive, had a box office of only $15.5 million on the first day!

"The Lion King", the winner of the global box office of 1.13 billion, only had a box office of 18 million US dollars on the first day!

Among them, one is the pinnacle of American robot culture, Schwarzenegger became famous in one fell swoop, and his outfit of black leather pants and black sunglasses has swept many young people.

The other is the pinnacle of American animation, before it, after it, there has never been a hand-drawn animation that can reach such a high height.

The number one box office in the world is the best praise for it.

Be!

"Mission Impossible" is very good-looking, all kinds of high-tech and cool actions in it are not inferior to 007, and the audience's evaluation is also high, and they also praise Liang Chaowei, an Oriental.

But that's not enough to justify its first-day box office of $18.8 million!

Is it because we don't understand the market anymore?

waited until noon, carefully watched the detailed box office statistics, and everyone suddenly realized.

Of the total box office of $18.8 million, half of it came from IMAX screens.

Since the success of "Terminator" and other films, in the past two years, Kirin Group has made many IMAX movies, showing them on their 100 IMAX screens, and the ticket price has increased by 50% to 100%, which is very profitable.

As a result, many theater operators who are chasing profits have also tried to install IMAX theaters and joined the industry.

In the past two years, more than 300 theaters across the United States have converted IMAX theaters, with a total of more than 800 IMAX screens.

This time "Mission Impossible" was released, almost all IMAX screens participated, which is why it has such a high box office.

If the IMAX screen is replaced with an ordinary screen, the box office of "Mission Impossible" on the first day is only about $13 million.

Although it is excellent, it is not so scary!

For a while, several major theater chains in North America were a little unable to sit still.

They had only used a few IMAX screens before, and of the more than 800 IMAX screens, only 200 at most belonged to them, and the rest were installed in small and medium-sized theaters.

Seeing that such a big benefit is in front of them, but they can't get it, the regret in their hearts is simply indescribable.

Especially on the Saturday of the next day, the box office of "Mission Impossible" directly dropped 23 million US dollars, the box office on Sunday was 16 million US dollars, and the box office of about 57.8 million US dollars in the first three days of the weekend exceeded 30 million US dollars by relying on the IMAX screen, which made people feel even more enthusiastic.

If they add a few hundred more IMAX screens this time, at least they can add millions more dollars to their share!

That is, when their hearts were about to move, the United Arts Film Company here announced that in two months, United Arts Films would officially start filming the movie adapted from the famous best-selling comic book - "Resident Evil".

The famous director Cameron will direct it himself, and the shooting method is also IMAX.

At that time, a more spectacular and amazing viewing effect will be presented to you through the giant screen!

It was this news that broke down the psychological defense of major theater chains, so that they called IMAX one after another, hoping to start installation negotiations.

Of course, these additional news have nothing to do with "Mission Impossible".

"Mission Impossible", which won a box office of 57.8 million in three days, climbed the box office champion of the week without any suspense.

With such a super beautiful result, Shirley Lansing perfectly handed in the first weighty answer sheet since taking office.

Liang Chaowei hung down from the top, skillfully evaded the defense, and the process of stealing things made people feel refreshed.

The cool action and chic and sharp fights presented in the whole film are all different from the stupid and crude fights that are now the mainstream in the United States.

Although Liang Chaowei is a native of Xiangjiang, he has undergone hard training, his face is angular, his muscles are strong and shapely, and with his cool agent identity, he quickly won a large number of fans.

Don't think that all Americans are face blind, they can recognize this kind of distinctive actor clearly.

For example, the same is true for Cheng Long, they have never mistaken others for Cheng Long!

Now there is a young male star who is even cooler and more handsome than Cheng Long, which suddenly made Liang Chaowei famous, and he has become another successful Xiangjiang star in Hollywood.

The Kirin Group did not miss this opportunity to publicize and boast.

In the TV programs and news channels for several days, there are news that Liang Chaowei was interviewed and appeared on the program.

The more exposure you have, the more help you will have.

Especially when the TV station intends to praise you, it is easier to show your advantages in front of the audience.

Liang Chaowei is not a melancholy prince at this time, he is now a funny character, and he is very cooperative with the host of the show, because he is open and likes funny behavior, which once again makes the American audience feel that he is very caring.

I don't look like a stereotypical Chinese at all!

It's just like us Americans!

Well, this young man, deserves our love!!
