Chapter 474: Jumping from the top of the Empire State Building
On the sixth day, the domestic theater chain received a notice from the Film Bureau of the Swollen Chrysanthemum that "Alien" was completely removed from the shelves, and those that were not removed from the shelves were immediately closed for rectification.
"Earth Defense War" is an official film, and after the theater took "Alien" offline, in order to leave a good impression on it, of course, according to the previous film scheduling requirements of Bare Beard Ju, the film scheduling rate of "Earth Defense War" was increased to 70%.
On the sixth day, the domestic box office statistics were released, and the box office of "Earth Defense" rose from 5 million on the fifth day to 14 million due to the increase in the film scheduling rate, and the box office of "Alien" dropped from 189 million on the fifth day to zero.
"Look at what the box office of "Alien" is when it has a 70% film rate! What is the box office of "Earth Defense"! Zhu Haibo is really embarrassed to cheat and cheat in China?"
"Let Chinese films and culture go abroad and into the world, why do you want to find such a liar who doesn't even have Chinese nationality? Does he understand Chinese culture?"
"The point is that it hasn't been able to go out yet, and it was removed from the shelves after three days of foreign release!
"What is not ridiculous about what a certain chrysanthemum has done? A film as good as "Alien" can easily make a Chinese film go abroad for the first time, but what is the result? Not only did a certain bureau not help, but it also cut off the back road of "Alien"! This reminds me of Liu Bei's son Liu Chan, when Zhuge Liang and Jiang Wei were fighting desperately in front, he always cut off their back road! What a dou who can't be helped!
After netizens saw the box office on the sixth day, they couldn't help but scold all kinds of on the Internet.
On the sixth day, "Earth Defense" continued to disappear without a trace in European and American theaters; "Alien" continued to flourish in the European and American markets, a good movie does not need too much publicity at all, and it can spread far just by the word-of-mouth of people who have seen it, Zhu Haibo and other pirates from all walks of life have tried their best to spread the pirated version of this film, but unfortunately, no matter what they do, the documents on the Internet will be inexplicably damaged.
Any European and American blockbuster, by the sixth or seventh day, must have been full of gun versions, and the high-definition version may have come out, but "Alien" does not, which makes "Alien" get the most powerful guarantee at the box office in the European and American markets.
"Alien" has been continuously popular among European and American audiences, and the film scheduling rate has naturally increased from 46 percent on the fifth day to 59 percent on the sixth day! It has once again refreshed the highest film scheduling rate of all films in the European and American markets in the past two years, and has also refreshed the record of the scheduling rate of Chinese films in European and American theaters!
Every small step taken by "Alien" now is a big step for Huaguo Film in the world film market!
All the film festival organizing committees in Europe and the United States now have to focus on the movie "Alien", a film that is so popular in European and American theaters, a film with such an amazing box office growth, if there is no film at their awards ceremony, their film festival will be questioned whether it is authoritative!
Gamescom is a lesson for them, and as a result of refusing to exhibit Grand Theft Auto, the show that has been running for more than 20 years is officially coming to an end this year, and these festivals don't want to follow in the footsteps of Gamescom.
Three film festivals have already sent invitations to the crew of "Alien", claiming that their film festival has included "Alien" in the scope of the award films, and if they are selected, they will feel extremely honored to invite the directors and leading actors of the crew to take time to participate in their film festivals to participate in the awards.
When the filming of "Earth Defense" started, the slogan shouted was to conquer European and American audiences and win awards at European and American film festivals, and now they are obviously getting farther and farther away from this goal, but "Alien" is moving forward towards this goal step by step and very firmly.
The box office of "Defend the Earth" on the sixth day of the European and American markets continues to have no data, but the box office of "Alien" on the sixth day of the European and American markets has increased from $123 million on the fifth day to $167 million!
The highest single-week box office record for European and American cinemas is 353 million yuan, the second highest record is 325 million, the third highest record is 297 million, and the fourth highest record is 274 million.
And "Alien" has one more day to break this record!
If it weren't for the fact that European and American theaters still had a process of accepting "Alien" at the beginning, and the first three days were at a very low screening rate, but like other European and American blockbusters, they were given a high schedule of more than 30% or even 40% as soon as they were released, the record set by "Alien" would be even more terrifying.
However, it may also be because "Alien" was suppressed too badly in the early stage, so there has been a retaliatory rise in the past few days, of course, the success of anti-piracy is also the factor that this film can refresh the single-film single-week record in European and American theaters, or the most important factor.
The damage of piracy to the original industry, especially film, television, music, and other aspects can almost be described as a catastrophe, in the absence of piracy, European and American audiences who want to watch "Alien" can only go to the theater, so that the box office of "Alien" has always been in a growth trend in European and American theaters in the past few days.
The pirated version of "Alien", whether it is the gun version, the clear version, or the Blu-ray version, has never been successfully released on the Internet, which has also aroused great curiosity, and some people even claim that this film has been "Wang Qian's curse" and that piracy will never occur.
There are more and more legends about "Alien" on the rivers and lakes, and it has also attracted more audiences to the cinema to watch "Alien". After domestic audiences arrived at the cinema, they found that "Alien" had been taken off the shelves, which made them extremely angry.
In the past, when Europe and the United States released games and movies, they often ignored the Chinese market, which made Chinese people feel a certain kind of discrimination...... The Chinese people are despised by the swollen chrysanthemum! People all over the world can see "Alien", but only the Chinese people can't see it!
So, on the seventh day, something very strange happened.
For example, a travel company that goes to Xianggang, Aomen, or an island that can afford to eat tea eggs and fried fritters without kerosene has opened up a special line for watching the movie "Alien", and the cost includes a movie ticket.
In order to watch a movie, I made a special trip to travel, this kind of thing has never happened before, but in the magical land of China, it just happened.
Of course, there is a reason for this to happen, not to mention the inexplicable ban of the swollen chrysanthemum, there is no pirated version in the theater, and there is no pirated version in the theater, so that the audience who can't see it if they are anxious to watch "Alien" is the only way to see "Alien", and it is an unabridged version.
In order to compete for tourism business with Xianggang, Omen, or an island that can afford to eat tea eggs and fried fritters without kerosene, some tourist attractions in Kimchi Country, Japanese Bon Country, Phthalein Country, and Malaysia have specially introduced copies of the Chinese version of "Alien" and screened it in theaters near tourist attractions, and at the same time, this movie tourism route is strongly recommended by tourism companies.
They even printed the pattern of the cute alien on the promotional poster of the tourist route to declare that their route is related to the "Alien" movie.
According to the statistics of the tourism department, the two-day outbound travel, especially the newly launched "Alien" movie line, has become a big growth point, at least the number of people traveling abroad has increased by about 25%.
This means that one of every five Chinese who go abroad is going abroad just to watch "Alien"!
Forcing tens of millions of people out of the country to watch movies, go abroad to consume, and support foreign construction is also unprecedented! Chinese culture has not been exported, but Chinese tourists and Chinese consumption have been exported, and this has made tremendous contributions to narrowing the trade deficit of neighboring countries with China.
It is really strange that a film made by a Chinese person did not bring wealth to China, but instead became a tool for neighboring countries to earn wealth for Chinese people.
Although Zhu Haibo and Guang Swollen Ju tried their best to lock the domestic box office of "Alien" at 429 million, "Earth Defense Station" still did not improve, and the gap between the two sides in the comparison of the global box office is getting wider and wider, and the domestic theater chain is also complaining because of the removal of "Alien" and the forced occupation of the theater lock of "Earth Defense War".
Domestic theater bosses, Weibo Vs, and celebrities have complained and protested on the Internet, and under the strong pressure of public opinion, the Film Bureau had to reduce the scheduling rate of "Earth Defense", which made "Earth Defense" want to make back the cost of the goal even more distant.
Several major investors on the investor side issued an ultimatum to Zhu Haibo, and if they could not change the situation, they could only take extraordinary measures against him.
Zhu Haibo secretly bought a ticket to the United States and wanted to sneak back to the United States, but he was targeted by the secret sentinels sent by the investor, and the desperate investor tied Zhu Haibo into a small bus and locked him up in an abandoned chemical factory, and tortured him to pay back.
But Zhu Haibo said there was nothing he could do.
The police attacked in time, killing and injuring several desperate investors, and rescued Zhu Haibo, who was dying with his hands and feet cut off, and his nose and eyes gouged out.
"Don't save me! Let me jump off the roof of the Empire State Building!" Zhu Haibo cried all the way.
For him now, fulfilling the bet with Wang Qian and jumping from the roof of the Empire State Building have become a luxury.
