The agreement signed between Yang Ming and Carmichael Cinemas is for a 500-screen test screening, and if the box office results are satisfactory, the number of screens will be further increased.

However, Oriental DreamWorks will also use at least 5 million meters to promote "Shaolin Temple".

Maybe the advertising cost of 5 million meters is not worth mentioning for those blockbusters in Hollywood, but it is not a lot.

Especially after the initial publicity, the feedback from local fans and major movie websites in the United States was very good, and after Yang Ming learned about it, he increased the advertising cost by 5 million yuan with a stroke of the pen.

I can't bear to let the child trap the wolf.

Now that "Shaolin Temple" has been released in China for less than two weeks, the box office revenue of the film has reached 400 million Chinese yuan, and the box office of the entire East Asian film is nearly 800 million Chinese yuan, which is converted into more than 2 rice dollars. 500 million meters.

Spending 10 million rice yuan for the promotion of this movie in the United States is simply a drizzle for the box office of this movie, and it is not worth mentioning.

Yang Ming received a call from Simmons the next day, and "Shaolin Temple" will be officially released in some theaters in Carmichael today.

It's a pity that because the director and actors of this movie, for the audience in the United States, they are no different from rookie actors, they don't have any fame, and they don't have the so-called premiere and are released directly.

However, Yang Ming's signboard was still highlighted by Carmicha Cinema Line in the posters of its studios.

Screenwriter: Yang Ming.

In addition, in recent times, because of the entanglement between "2012" and the Academy Awards, the movie "2012" and Yang Ming himself have been dyed with a layer of tragedy, and have won the sympathy of many ordinary people in the United States.

In the United States, sympathy for the disadvantaged has always been the preference of the people, although Yang Ming is not as weak as they imagined.

New York.

Time Time Cinema is the flagship cinema of one of AMC's brands.

Because AMC executives have seen the sample film of "Shaolin Temple", they have great expectations for this movie, and they are also very optimistic about the market prospects of this movie, so they still adjusted some high-end cinemas to test the water to screen this movie they are very optimistic about.

At this time, Simmons stood in a corner of the theater lobby, smoking a cigarette while looking at the ticket desk in the lobby with concern.

In the theater hall, the display racks and posters of "Shaolin Temple" are placed in a conspicuous position, which shows that AMC Cinemas also attaches great importance to this cooperation with Oriental DreamWorks.

Gray, a high school student, came over with his girlfriend to watch a movie tonight.

It's just that the two of them came to watch the movie on a temporary basis, so they didn't think about which movie to watch before, but instead of shopping with his girlfriend, Gray would rather waste his time in the movie theater, even if the movie he watched made him sleep, he was willing.

Because for him, his girlfriend's shopping is a nightmare.

in the elevator.

"Honey, what's the best movie to watch?" asked his girlfriend, looking up at Gray.

Gray heard his girlfriend's words and quickly said, "I don't know if there are any good movies recently, I'll find out when I go to the cinema." ”

At this time, there was a clang, and the elevator arrived.

As soon as the two stepped out of the elevator door, they saw a conspicuous display shelf opposite, which was the promotional poster of "Shaolin Temple".

The Shaolin monk played by Ji Feihong has a handstand, and the poster reads three Chinese: Shaolin Temple, and there is a line of English below: TheShaolin Temple!

"Wow! This monk is so cool, it's amazing to have one finger upside down!" exclaimed his girlfriend, pointing to the promotional poster of "Shaolin Temple".

Gray was also attracted by the promotional poster of "Shaolin Temple", and looked at it carefully over and over again, but when he heard his girlfriend's surprised scream, he couldn't help but pouted and said: "Maybe it's fake, how can a finger support a person, maybe the finger has already been broken, don't all movie special effects like to shoot such exaggerated shots?"

But the daughter ignored his words, she looked at the poster for a while, seemed to have found something great, pulled Gray's shirt, and said excitedly: "Look, there is Yang, Yang is the screenwriter of this movie!"

"What?" Gray was shocked, and immediately stared at the poster to look for it.

Screenwriter: Yang Ming, (Director of "2012", director and screenwriter of "One Ball to Fame".) ）

When he saw this line of words, he immediately said excitedly: "It's really Yang! I didn't expect him to be the screenwriter of this movie, my dear, let's watch this movie tonight." ”

"OK, Yang's movie, we must support it. The girlfriend clapped her hands in agreement.

Yang Ming's concert in New York, although Gray and his girlfriend did not go to see it, the huge influence caused by Yang Ming's concert quickly spread in the United States, and countless young people in New York watched the recorded video of this concert through the Internet.

There is no doubt that all the young people who watched the video of Yang Ming's concert have become a member of the crazy worship of Yang Ming's fans.

Gray and his girlfriend are also part of these fans.

The two quickly bought two movie tickets for "Shaolin Temple" and waited for admission.

Simmons, who was not far away, saw this qiē in his eyes, and the conversation between Gray and his girlfriend was also listened to by him.

"I didn't expect Yang to be so charming in the minds of young people in the United States. Simmons thought with a sigh in his heart.

Tonight, he has been in the hall of this theater for two hours, and every audience who buys tickets for "Shaolin Temple" is extremely concerned.

Many of them are because of Yang Ming, so they did not hesitate to choose this movie as the object of tonight's viewing.

Of course, not all the audiences who bought the movie tickets for "Shaolin Temple" were because of Yang Ming, many people were attracted to buy movie tickets because they looked at this unusually unique design poster, and some of them went into the theater to buy movie tickets through the previous advertising of Oriental DreamWorks.

In short, there are all kinds of audiences.

It wasn't until the first release of "Shaolin Temple" that Simmons slowly walked to the ticket front desk and asked the staff, "How is the attendance?"

The staff looked down at the number on the computer monitor and said, "Less than 70 percent." ”

Simmons' face was flat when he heard this number, this number jù is neither good nor bad, and even for a foreign-language movie that does not have any big-name stars to join, this number jù is not bad.

It can be seen that the previous efforts have not been in vain.

So, let's look at the reputation of "Shaolin Temple", whether the moviegoers in the United States can accept this movie.

Thinking of this, Simmons is a little uneasy, although he likes this movie more, it doesn't mean that other fans in the United States will definitely like this movie, after all, everyone's tastes are different.

Simmons walked back and forth in the theater hall worriedly, and after a moment, he thought for a moment, and hurried into the screening room, he wanted to be at zero distance, observe the reaction of the fans at the first time, and make the right decision for the company to increase or decrease the number of screens next.

As soon as he walked into the dark screening room, he heard a cry of surprise: "Oh God, how is this possible?"
