"Give me a set of Fireflies two-disc special edition!", "That's mine! That's mine! Firefly Four-Disc Limited Edition, quick!!" ...... In this small video store in Los Angeles, as soon as it opened early in the morning to do business, it was flocked to a long line of young people who had been waiting for a long time, and everyone was either discussing excitedly or fiddling with their mobile phones, and the scene was very lively. Today, Saturday, November 5th, the DVD versions of Firefly are officially on the shelves!

In order to be able to see those behind-the-scenes footage this weekend, in order to buy a limited edition, it is only the least worthwhile act to come early in the morning to scramble, and many enthusiasts are gearing up, in the words of "The Big Bang Theory", "Fight for glory".

In the eyes of movie fans, the "Firefly" discs with different covers are shining brightly, with a single-disc widescreen version and full-screen version priced at $19.95, a two-disc special edition at $25.95, a three-disc collector's edition at $31.95, and a four-disc limited edition at $49.95...... Orders from online shopping malls such as Amazon have long been piling up, and the limited edition is naturally sold out of stock.

One hand took the boxes of "Firefly" from the shelf, and then the salesman took out the inventory in the warehouse to make up for it, the middle-aged owner of the chubby video store had long expected that "Firefly" would sell well, of course! But he still didn't expect it to sell so quickly, faster than the "Star Wars Prequel 3" that was put on the shelves on the 1st a few days ago, and the first batch of 500 copies of each version was all sold out before the morning was finished! Looking at the still long queue, the fat boss apologized loudly: "I want to buy "Firefly" Excuse me, ...... DVD."

"Oh——!" Before he could finish his sentence, the sighs had filled the video store, and everyone complained, many people were very depressed, a few months ago when they went to the theater to watch "Firefly" was one step slower than others, and now it is too late to buy a DVD! Another high school girl said, "Oh my God! I knew I was going to order something from Amazon." ”

Their words resonated with a group of young people, and the special configuration introduction in the DVD from the special edition has "Wang Yang introduced the exclusive deletion scene." ", "Martial arts training highlights of the starring role", "special effects production" and many on-set footage, etc., fans want to see those scenes that have been edited and deleted, and fans want to see those tidbits and gossip, especially Wang Yang's heroic appearance working on the set...... You can also enjoy revisiting the classic "Firefly", and you can watch it a few times if you want to watch the Battle of New Shanxi, but now everything has failed!

"Fireflies are sold out for the time being. The fat boss had just finished speaking, he wiped his forehead, and when he saw that the line was quickly dispersed and the store was about to become deserted, he shouted urgently: "Monday...... Tomorrow!Sunday!I think there will be new goods by then, will you come back tomorrow?"

I thought that this store would be smaller, and the competition would not be so fierce, but who knew that it would sell so quickly! Some people were still willing to wait one more day and turn around and go to the counter to sign up for orders; more people didn't want to wait for half a day, and walked out of the store without looking back, while discussing their plans with friends: "Let's go to Wal-Mart to have a look, I hope there will be a collector's edition." "Hurry up, you've already caused me to miss the limited edition." "Shhhhh ”…… The shelves of Wal-Mart's audio-visual section were empty, and passing customers were distressed to find that they couldn't find Captain Marr and the others! Damn, there wasn't even a box of the regular version left!

"Let it go!" In another video store, two male fans clutched a box of "Firefly" collector's editions at one end and pulled each other hard: "This is what I saw first!", "Fuck off, I got it first!", "Do you want to be repaired?!...... In addition to really buying it back and storing it without unpacking, countless fans who bought it were excited to open the box as soon as possible, and hurried home to enjoy it! The DVD reputation reputation and customer satisfaction of the flame movie have always been very high, as an epoch-making blockbuster with high box office and high evaluation, the price of "Firefly" is super value for both a single disc and a four-disc disc, and I believe that the content will not disappoint!

THIS WEEKEND, WANG YANG APPEARED ON THE TV AND COMPUTER SCREENS OF COUNTLESS MOVIE FANS, HE SAT IN A CHAIR IN THE POST-EDITING ROOM, TURNED HIS BACK TO THE LONG COMPUTER DESK, AND SAID WITH A SMILE: "HEY, GUYS! THANK YOU FOR BUYING THE DVD, INSTEAD OF WATCHING IT ON YOUTUBE, WHAT, IT'S YOUTUBE NOW? IMPOSSIBLE, I ORDERED IT TO BE BLOCKED...... Ahem, welcome to the Firefly editing room, now I'm going to take you to see what scenes we've deleted?"

Fans and audiences across North America are once again in a commotion for "Firefly" and are selling like crazy! In the first week, November 5-6 (which ends on Sunday), 10 million units were sold in just two days, and the first day's 8.5 million units broke the 7 million units of "Spider-Man", and in the second week, November 6-13, another 3.93 million units (-60.7%) were sold, and the undoubted weekly sales champion was 13.93 million units in 9 days, with a total sales of $320 million!

Of course, the downward trend of DVD sales is much faster than the box office, and the first three weeks basically do 60% of the total sales in the next few years, and it will take more than three or four years and 150 weeks to sell another 5 million sets, and the price of each version of DVD will gradually decrease, and the total sales of 5 million sets will be less than 100 million. But the current strong performance of "Firefly" in the golden period has made the flame movie happy, and with the income from VHS tapes, related toys and TV rights, it is all $$$$$$ flying...... Some DVD reviews with the logo of Fresh Red Tomatoes have also surfaced, with DVDSleuth's Mike Lang giving it a 4.5/5: "It's an understatement to say that Firefly is a classic, the film has so many storytelling, acting, and technical achievements, but in fact, it has it all." Mike Sampson of the DVD Clinic also scored 4.5/5: "This is a very collectible DVD, I believe you have heard too much about the film itself, its special configuration is charming and interesting, and it really can't be missed." (Three-disc Collector's Edition)" SoundtrackNet's Dan Goldwassel gave it a perfect score: "There's a strong signal here that you may have to wait twenty years to run into Fireflies again, and if you're on the verge of hesitating to buy, go ahead." ”…… It has been almost 5 months since the global release of "Firefly" on June 17, it is in its 22nd week of screening, there are 175 theaters, the North American box office is 649 million, and it may reach 650 million when it is fully drawn, and in the overseas market, in addition to still some IMAX theaters selling tickets, there is still suspense in Japan, which contributed 158 million US dollars (18.3 billion yen), due to the fact that "Firefly" This kind of film that hits the 20 billion box office often takes more than 40 weeks to be screened before the results are frozen, and it is only the 16th week now, so it is difficult to say the final Japanese box office, but its overseas box office is 1.142 billion, and the global box office is 1.791 billion, which has great hope to surpass the record of "Titanic".

In the previous week of November 4-10, "Saw 3", which was released in the second week, failed to win the championship, and it collected 26.65 million box office (-50.3%) to rank third, with an average of $8,225 per theater in 3,240 theaters, and the total box office rose to 80.28 million.

The North American champion that week belonged to Disney/Bowei's new film "Chicken Boys" with a production fee of 150 million, which was Disney's first 3D animation, and naturally had high hopes of going hand in hand with Pixar, DreamWorks, and Flame Blue Sky, but Disney's harvest was not very good, with three indicators of Rotten Tomatoes 36%/26% 56%, and only 48.74 million box office in the first week (average single library $.) 13,341), it seems that for a moment, it will not be able to change the pattern of 3D dependence on Pixar, and the runner-up was won by Sam Mendes's new film "Pot Head" with 34.8 million, Rotten Tomatoes 61%/54%/68%, and the decline of the Oscar for best director continues.

Everything is fine for Wang Yang, his career is in full swing, his life is happy, Jessica's due date is getting closer and closer, and the two happily walk hand in hand towards this year's Thanksgiving, ready to taste the seven-year itch, but suddenly, the wind and waves rise!

Originally, this matter had nothing to do with him at all, if he hadn't taken over the "Iron Man" project, but now, the decadent and silent Yanghei suddenly found a breakthrough in surprise!!

The incident originated on November 11th, and the North American film market ushered in the large-scale release of 3 new films in this new weekend, "Jedi Dragon" with a production cost of $22 million, "Money Don't Die" with $40 million, and "Jumanji's Game 2" (Zathura) with $65 million. When the weekend of the 11th-13th passed, Columbia, the producer and distributor of "Zathura", was about to cry! A little bit of $36.7 million advertising budget (Nielsen agency data), this investment of more than 100 million yuan, in exchange for 13.42 million first-weekend box office!

The average of 3,223 theaters is $4,166 per theater! While Rotten Tomatoes has a decent 75%/73% freshness, only 54% audience likeability, Jennifer T gave it half a star: "Childish, nothing impressive, the plot is simple enough and boring." Matthew G gave sporadic stars: "Bad children's movies are harmless to children and uninteresting to adults." "I swear I'll never see it again," Maxamillion said. ”…… What the hell is going on?! No matter how bad the popcorn is, it won't sell so badly! However, this is the truth, the huge "Jumanji 2" only received a pitiful box office figure, and the main creators and leading actors became both innocent and inexcusable poison, 15-year-old actress Kristen Stewart poison, 39-year-old director Jon Favreau poison...... "Whoever asks Jon Favreau to make a movie is an idiot, and the most suitable job for him is an extra." "Favreau did his job ridiculously, and I really can't figure out why he was so stupid. "Fei Ru tried to imitate Jumanji and got an inferior product, garbage. Bursts of sonic attacks rushed towards Fei Ru, I have to say that he was implicated by Wang Yang, if it weren't for Wang Yang's "Iron Man" director's invitation, he would not have been ridiculed so much, especially the film critics' evaluation is good, but now, box office poison, luck has run out, and a series of questions such as not being able to film except for comedies are pouring out.

The two old men of the new line film, Robert Shayer and Michael Lynn, can be described as shocked, one weekend, the lucky charm became a life charm! Favreau directs "Iron Man"?! Then it is better to let Alan Smith come! They hurriedly called Wang Yang, the purpose is very simple: "Change the director, change the director, you can't use Faruu!" Fortunately, no contract has been signed! Wang Yang's attitude is very casual: "I have my plan, since "Iron Man" is produced by me, you just believe me, don't care about "Zathura". ”

"Young, listen to me...... Now is not the time to ask for Favreau, the new line knows him better than the flames, and he needs to take a vacation. "Michael Lynn completely felt Alan F. Horn's mood, anxious, worried, fearful...... I want to kick the ball away, but the decision is in the hands of a 25-year-old boy! What's even worse is that this kid refuses to kick it! Wang Yang's voice came out of the microphone: "Michael, you know that I respect you very much, and you also have to respect me, I am optimistic that Fei Ru has my reasons, seriously, in fact, what is the relationship between the two films? We should also be grateful for the loss of "Zathura", which gave Fei Ru the power to explode, no one always wants to lose the battle, right? I'm sorry I'm busy, is there anything else?" Jan, Favreau......"

"Hey! Wang Yang interrupted Lynn loudly and said, "When the disagreement cannot be resolved and someone needs to obey, it depends on who is the chief, and I am the commander of "Iron Man...... Michael, trust me, goodbye!" Michael-Lynn listened to the beep in his ear, his old face wrinkled in anguish.

"I'm not going to change my mind, Jon Favreau, Jon Favreau! I'll ask him to direct Iron Man, that's my plan!Trust me, goodbye!" Robert Shaya got Wang Yang's tough answer, and his old face wrinkled in anguish.

In fact, now the two old men not only don't believe in Fei Ru, but their attitude towards Wang Yang has also wavered a little, and Magic Yang's first "failure" seems to have come, isn't it? He is optimistic about Fei Ru, thinking that after the successive successes of "Christmas Elf" and "Zathura", Fei Ru will be the best candidate for the director of "Iron Man", who knows that he has given Magic Yang a slap in the face! Wang Yang is now secretly scolding Fei Ru to death, right? It's just that it's useless for the new line to be in a hurry, the movie copyright is already Flame Movie, and Flame said that they feel that this game is too risky and can not come in to play.

It's not just the new line that cares about the development of the situation, but the media and the public are also very concerned, is Magic Young ready to die and not admit his mistakes, or is he reining in the precipice to make a substitution?

A day has passed, two days have passed, Wang Yang and the crew of "Iron Man" are very quiet, there is no new news, this is more like a signal of fear, his big mouth actually doesn't speak! Yang Hei is boiling, of course, whatever he says will also boil, Jon Favreau was scolded because they intended to scold Wang Yang instead, and he naturally suffered a lot of firepower, you must know that there are many, many people who love him and hate him.

C.B stirred up trouble on the fan forum on the Flames' official website: "I said a long time ago that Fantastic Young was terminated by the cabin ceiling! "I can't imagine how ugly Wang and Favreau will be to dress up Iron Man together," Gleson said, "It's time to think about Young's unusual behavior after his injury, Batman, Iron Man, Old Boy, Zombies, and that vampire, is he really okay?" ...... There are administrators, and the message posts on the official website forum are sharp but not very unpleasant, and the other places are sarcastic, ridiculous, abusive, and so on!

It's a chain reaction, a row of dominoes, Favreau down, Fantastic Young down, Justin Linn directing "Old Boy" down, Christopher Nolan directing "The Dark Knight" down...... No one can ask about the internal affairs of the flame movie, but Warner Bros. has just accepted the fact that Gotham Town continues to take the dark route, and he has been given such a heavy blow! Alan F. Horn is also shocked, God! He has been thinking about it for more than two months, and he can't figure out what the difference is between Aronofsky and Nolan, and sure enough, there is no difference!

"Change the director, change the director, you can't use Nolan anymore!!" Horn heard a desperate tough voice from the microphone: "Alan, the current situation is that you haven't figured out the current situation! Let me tell you, I'm the boss of "Batman"! Relax! I've said it many times, trust me, you'll be satisfied in the future, OK?" ”

For a time, doubts from all aspects of the outside media, the public, internal investment partners, etc., drowned out the initiator Wang Yang.
