Chapter 478: Dark Horse "Fast and Furious"
Halfway through the first month of the summer season, "Pirates of the Caribbean" is still raging at the box office, and "Pearl Harbor" is still close behind with its exciting battle scenes despite its poor reviews.
On Monday, June 18th, another movie about Biaoche was released in between.
Speaking of this kind of movie, the most impressive in the past two years is probably "Taxi Express" in 98 and "Speed 60 Seconds" in 2000.
"Speed 60 Seconds", which won more than 200 million box office last summer, starring Nicolas Cage and Angelina Jolie, is adapted from a low-cost 74-year-old film that tells the story of a car thief.
This kind of movie is a hit, which should be the confidence of "Fast and Furious". The cost of 38 million, no matter how you say it, should not get too ugly results.
It's a pity that their schedule is not very good, and it happens to collide with "Pearl Harbor". It's not that they are willing to collide, but they set the schedule first, and the other party knows that they chose this time and still fights them, obviously they don't take their small body in their eyes at all.
This is also something that can't be helped, people casually play with it is five or six times their cost, and all the actors are top actors, how can they take such a small cost in their eyes?
Now the only thing they are glad about is that the two types are different, how can they get some leftovers from between the teeth of the predators, right?
But when the box office on the first day came out, everyone was stunned - 10.59 million!
Compared to the 25.88 million on the first day of "Pirates of the Caribbean" and the 20.35 million on the first day of "Pearl Harbor", this is not a box office that seems too good. But if you evaluate the number of screens he can get together, you can see how incredible it is to get this box office.
This is a result that no one expected, and even the production company did not expect such a good result at all. According to this momentum, the box office of 100 million should be no problem. In ecstasy, they immediately began to study the filming of a sequel.
And the decline on the side of "Pearl Harbor" also showed an ugly momentum after the first week, compared with their cost of nearly 200 million, it can be said that they have to lose all their pants.
Seeing the box office results, Louise no longer knows what to say about Lyra's clever calculations.
"Why do you know that the Flying Car movie can be loved by the audience?"
Leila smiled slightly: "It's very simple, there are relatively few movies of this genre, and fans will find it more innovative." And you can also see some of the cool points of the car from the trailer of the movie, simply put, this is an adrenaline-pumping movie, how can the audience not like this when they get stimulated from the tension?"
Louise nodded thoughtfully, "I see." Do you think we're going to refer to it too?"
"Well, don't you think we have time to make this kind of little film?"
"Uh......" Louise was suffocated by the question, and then suddenly remembered that now the two companies are investing in several films, how can they have time to plan new ones? The immortal bird is investing in shooting some small-budget movies, and 100 million dollars can make a dozen or twenty films, so there is no need to pay attention to it for the time being. The two parts of Dragon Soul Company here can be regarded as big productions.
Thinking of this, she changed the subject: "The author of "Harry Potter" wants us to go to England to choose the main character, what do you think?"
Leila doesn't care about this, to be honest, that movie is a story, it's special effects, and the actors' acting skills really don't need to be too serious. Whether it's an American actor or a British actor, she doesn't care at all. Of the ones selected in the original version, only Hao Min's role is quite suitable for her eyes, and she will definitely not object if others can be re-elected.
"Let's go to the UK as she wants, remember to have a good relationship with her, I'm still waiting for her to write a sequel for us." ”
"I see. Louise smiled wryly and jotted down her words.
In fact, she has never been very optimistic about such a movie adapted from a children's work, but who says that Leila has a better vision than her? Since she thinks she can, and has already made a sequel plan before it is made, she can only cooperate with it with all her might.
"And about Resident Evil, are you really going to buy the game company as well?" she confirmed to her again.
If she is talking about buying copyrights on a large scale, she can still understand why she has to buy other game companies when she adapts a game into a movie?
"I saw someone say that you are preparing a future gift for your brother by doing this. ”
"Why not? It's not expensive anyway. Leila laughed and stood up: "Don't worry, I'm not a person who spends money indiscriminately, give me some time, and you will see the profits brought to us by these small investments." ”
Seeing that she seemed to be going out, Louise said, "Leave work so early today?"
But she understood when she saw Roy appearing outside the door.
Leila walked up to Roy, took out two movie tickets and shook them: "We're going to see a movie, and by the way, add fuel to the box office scuffle." ”
"......" Louise looked at the figure of them leaving hand in hand, and felt that she might be old. Otherwise, why didn't she know what Leila was talking about so often?
Two tickets can add fuel to the box office melee?
No one will tell her this question for the time being, and when the mystery is solved, she will know that it turns out that two movie tickets can do far more than she could have imagined.
"Seems like the first time we've been out to see a movie together today?" Roy helped Leila put on her hat and sunglasses, trying to dress her up like herself to be unrecognizable.
Thanks to the captain, he now attracts a crowd of onlookers wherever he goes. There is an endless stream of people who want to sign autographs and take group photos.
If it had been before, he wouldn't have minded fulfilling the little wishes of his fans. But now it's really not good, if you're not careful, you will fall into the crowd and can't escape.
"It seems to be. Leila thought for a moment, then nodded. It's not that the two haven't watched the movie together, but they both watched it with the crew at the premiere of the movie.
After enjoying a delicious dinner, the two marched to the cinema. They buy movies that are late and less likely to be noticed by fans and fans in the dark and in the shadows.
Sitting in the movie theater, Roy couldn't help but lean into her ear: "Why did you choose this movie? I thought you would be more interested in Pearl Harbor." ”
The fiery breath wrapped around Leila's ears, making her ears hot for a while, and even her cheeks added a lot of heat. She is now very glad that the lights in the theater have dimmed, otherwise she might have been seen in shame at this time. It's just a casual little action, is it necessary for her to be so nervous?!She couldn't help but spit on herself in her heart.
