Chapter 1001: An Unexpected Box Office Explosion!!

The main body of "Beverly Hills Detective" is actually Eddie Murphy as the starring role.

Lin Qingxia can only be regarded as a relatively important role, it can't be said that it is a vase, at least there are still a lot of scenes, but it is far from being as brilliant as Eddie Murphy.

Before going to Xiangjiang, Eddie Murphy was just a rotating substitute guest on a variety show, in 2020 terms, he was a variety show, and he was not the kind of regular guest, basically no different from the girls on "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb".

But by the time Yin Jun summoned him from the United States to Xiangjiang, and passed "Police School", "Speed of Life and Death", and some TV series to play roles, he seemed to have become a very good actor.

Of course, it has to do with his own talent.

Yin Jun first asked Wang Jing to discover his talent in comedy, and then in his "Speed of Life and Death", Yin Jun cultivated his feeling of playing a positive role, which provided him with a good realistic opportunity to hone his acting skills.

The script of "Beverly Hills Detective", except for Yin Jun, in fact, Tang Shuxuan is not the second to see it.

The second person to see it was none other than Eddie Murphy.

After the filming of "Life and Death" was completed, although Eddie Murphy went to the TV station and played a series of roles related to black people, which seemed a little busy, Yin Jun also gave him the English script of "Beverly Hills Police Detective" and asked him to watch it first and ponder the role.

For Yin Jun's constant taking care of himself, after a big-scale production of "Speed of Life and Death", he actually gave himself another movie to star, and it was the male number one, Eddie Murphy is very grateful.

Although the heads of black buddies are simpler, they are relatively very simple, who is good to them, they will know clearly, and they are easy to be emotional.

So in Eddie Murphy's heart, Yin Jun is no longer a simple boss and Bole, this is his benefactor.

Therefore, as soon as he is free, he will figure out "Beverly Hills Detective" when he returns home, which caused Brookheimer to supervise the film, and found that Eddie Murphy entered the state very quickly, and many scenes passed over at once, not at all like an actor who took the lead for the first time.

At the time of the final editing, Bruckheimer was not directly involved, and as a new producer, he was still self-aware, and he didn't have that kind of power now.

However, Yin Jun is also cultivating him, so Bruckheimer is also watching the whole editing process.

He heard it from Lianyi Film Company with his own ears, and the boss specifically said that he wanted to highlight Eddie Murphy's performance and maintain the consistency of his performance as much as possible.

To put it bluntly, with Eddie Murphy as the center point of the whole movie, he is the biggest selling point of "Beverly Hills Detective".

Bruckheimer has some regrets about Yin Jun's decision, because he feels that putting the plot of the story in front of the actors is the only way to ensure smooth and watchable performance.

Of course, it is impossible for him to question or object, Yin Jun is not only his boss, but also relies on his achievements again and again, and has established a super authoritative image.

When you encounter such a genius, when you have a different concept from him, your first reaction should be to examine yourself first, instead of doubting his decision.

Sitting not far from Eddie Murphy and Lin Qingxia, Bruckheimer's mental power is not in the movie itself.

He had watched the film several times, and now he was paying attention to the audience's reaction.

"Within 15 minutes, laugh 2 times, laugh 5 times, exclaim 2 times, and cheer 1 time. ”

In 45 minutes, halfway through the movie, there were 5 applauses, 20 laughs, and cheers and exclamations. ”

At 90 minutes, the movie ended, and almost all the audience walked into the cinema with a smile on their faces. ”

Thirty minutes after the end of the movie, the survey statistics of 15 movie theaters in New York City were reported to Qi...... A+ is 22%, A is 45%, A- is 18%, B is 15%, and the overall praise rate is 85%!?"

Bruckheimer couldn't believe his eyes.

New York is the most developed area in the United States, and the people here have the most demanding and picky tastes, and it is not surprising that many films that sell well outside will be dumb when they arrive here.

The last part of "The Speed of Life and Death" did very well in California and other places, but when I came to New York, the box office here was not as good as "Superman 2" at the beginning, and it took several weeks before it slowly came up.

The global publicity cost of "Life and Death" has reached 50 million US dollars! Moreover, Mercedes-Benz's "Great Split" advertisement is equivalent to at least 200 million US dollars!

In such a situation, New York State does not buy "Life and Death" very much, which shows how picky their tastes are.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that "Speed of Life and Death" is a Xiangjiang movie, but this time "Beverly Hills Detective" takes place in the United States, and the protagonist is also American, which is an advantage.

But the problem is that Eddie Murphy's reputation is really average, and he is not as good as Laura!

In order to open up the New York market, United Arts Film Company specially arranged for the crew to hold a small premiere here, which is also profound.

Bruckheimer was a little apprehensive, until he got the statistical data, and then he felt a little more at ease.

It's just that he didn't completely put his mind at ease.

Fans who can watch the movie for the first time definitely like Eddie Murphy very much, or people who want to see Laura appear in the movie, so they will have a lot of subjective thoughts more or less, and they can't determine the perception of the entire movie-going crowd.

There are also many people on the far West Coast who think about such ideas in Hollywood.

Among them is Michael Eisner, who has always looked at Yin Jun unpleasantly.

To make it clear, Michael Eisner doesn't hate Yin Jun, and even Michael Eisner felt that a genius like Yin Jun was fully capable of cooperating with them Paramount and making money together.

But now, he feels that Yin Jun has challenged the authority of Hollywood.

Not only did the previous release of "Raiders of the Lost Ark" give Paramount a slap in the face, but now Yin Jun actually wants to become a giant in Hollywood, which is absolutely not allowed for him.

Therefore, last time he called everyone to a party and wanted to target Yin Jun.

As a result, everyone saw that the invincible Warner Bros. and the invincible "Superman 2" were pressed to the ground by "Speed of Life and Death" and rubbed repeatedly, and now the movies are out, and some people use this as a negative example.

"Remember, don't underestimate people! Warner Bros. is because of this that "Superman 2" is a big disappointer, and it didn't get the results it deserves!

God knows how much Warner Bros. hated Michael Eisner.

He himself was a little embarrassed, so he decided that the next time he sniped the Kirin Group, it would be Paramount himself.

But what Michael Eisner wants to snipe is not this small production of "Beverly Hills Detective", which is like a joke, but "The Terminator", which will be released next spring.

"The Terminator" is said to be a story about robots.

Lianyi Film Company invested a total of 20 million US dollars, but now that it is only halfway through the filming, the former truck driver and animation production staff hopes to invest more.

Lianyi Film Company naturally refused, but I didn't expect this guy to call Yin Jun directly, and what is even more exaggerated is that Yin Jun actually gave him another $10 million, which is really a bit confusing.

Michael Eisner heard the news, pondered it carefully, and decided to snipe the movie himself.

Because from Yin Jun's reaction, he knows that his expectations for this movie are very high.

However, good movies are not always made, especially this kind of movie about robots...... Over the years, in addition to George Lucas's Star Wars, do you see that robot movie is booming?

Besides, Yin Jun is actually looking for a person who has just directed a movie, and he was expelled from the crew to shoot a movie, and the hero of the movie is the bodybuilding champion who is good for nothing but muscles, so it's no wonder that such a movie can be popular!

What's more, Michael Eisner is going to fight it in the ring this time, it's not an ordinary movie!

……

Leave this aside for next year.

Michael Eisner received a phone call, and it was said that the first day was very positive, and he didn't think there was anything remarkable in his heart.

Even after the box office of 5.7 million came out on the first day, he felt that it was normal, after all, your 3030 screens were released together, if there was less than 5 million, it would be the end of the first day, Yin Jun's script would not be so bad!

But on the morning of the third day, when the Saturday box office results came out, Michael Eisner, who was eating breakfast, directly overturned the table, startling the maid next to him.

"Beverly Hills Detective", the second day of release, Saturday box office, $8.5 million!!

Although the Saturday box office of the first weekend is definitely higher than the Friday box office, the box office increase of 49% in one breath is absolutely abnormal!!

What does this mean?

It shows that the good reputation on the first day has spread rapidly, so more people have entered the cinema to watch!

Maybe it's just a blind obedience effect!

Definitely!

Michael Eisner clenched his fists and thought.

Sadly, however, on the fourth morning, on Monday morning, Michael Eisner received two more pieces of bad news.

"Beverly Hills Detective", the third day of release, Sunday box office, $8.1 million!!

That's just a 4.7% drop from yesterday Saturday's box office!!

Three days after the first weekend, "Beverly Hills Detective" directly broke the best opening result in October in North American film history with a brilliant score of 22.3 million US dollars!

If you want to say that the first day is a fan effect, the second day is a blind obedience effect, and what is it on the third day?

is almost equivalent to an equivalent box office result, which simply meets the elements of all blockbuster movies!

Michael Eisner was simply speechless.

The second bad news is also related to "Beverly Hills Detective".

Because many of the movies in the same period did not perform well at the box office, and the box office of "Beverly Hills" was so amazing, more than 300 movie theaters and more than 500 screens joined the "Beverly Hills Detective" screening camp starting today, Monday.

Previously, everyone speculated that after the first weekend, "Beverly Hills Detective" would be affected by the reduction of the number of screenings and the number of screens in movie theaters because of poor box office performance, but now it has completely reversed!

As long as there are no major accidents, I'm afraid that "Beverly Hills Detective" will become another movie with a box office of more than $100 million this year!

I can't imagine that the first movie of Lianyi Film Company's reappearance can be so dazzling!

As the genius boy behind it, he once again caused a sensation in Hollywood, and his aura became more and more aura!!
