Chapter 131: Shang
In February, the trailer for "Die Hard" was shown at Times Tower, and the unusual fights attracted passers-by.
The Asuka Movie logo flashed by, and Bruce Willis appeared in the frame, imprinted into the eyes of the passers-by who stood to watch the trailer below.
Machine gun fights, fights between the protagonist and the bad guys, helicopters fly in the air, under a brilliant explosion, set for March 1.
The good reputation of Dianya and Shou Yi has attracted the attention of many audiences for "Die Hard".
The film was rated R, and Lester took Bruce Willis around North America to promote it, following the rating system to bring attention to Die Hard.
The so-called R-rated films are restricted, with more violence, ** and swear words, and children under the age of 17 need to be accompanied by their parents.
In response to the R-rated film system, Leicester promotional films targeted people over the age of 17.
Department of Information!
"Mr. Leicester, can you predict what will be the box office tomorrow. The reporter interviewed Leicester with a microphone. ”
"It's impossible to know. Leicester replied ambiguously: "The box office depends on the masses." ”
The reporter of "Hollywood Times" was dissatisfied with Lester's words, and took the microphone to interview Bruce Willis next to him: "The heroine was recommended by you to join the crew, and you can tell me what your relationship with Bonnie Bittilia is." ”
The reporter who interviewed him looked at him expectantly. My mind was in a hurry: as long as the other party could admit that it was recommended by him, he would be able to write different articles.
Bruce Willis didn't answer like the reporter, "I already have a girlfriend, and as for the relationship with Bonnie Bittilia, it's a friend, and I'm very happy that she can play it." ”
The reporter wanted Bruce Willis and Bonnie Beatilea to be boyfriend and girlfriend, but Bruce Willis didn't want to answer, and Lester didn't object to it, so he didn't let him use his head as a propaganda.
"The timing of "Die Hard" will collide with Warner's "Lethal Weapon", do you think you can beat him?"
The Chicago reporter asked sharply.
"It's about getting things done. ”
Lester complained silently in his heart, and replied with an unchanged face: "How much is the box office, whether anyone likes to watch it, it still depends on people's choice." ”
"Ladies and gentlemen, this concludes the interview. ”
The staff ended the interview with the reporter who was interviewing.
Regarding whether "Die Hard" can be a big success and achieve a good box office, reporters generally believe that he may be cut in half when he encounters his biggest competitor "Lethal Weapon".
On March 1st, "Die Hard" began to be publicized nationwide, and 30 theaters achieved good opening box office results on the first day, and 1,276 theaters were arranged
The competition in the March film is very fierce, except for "Field Platoon", which is "Lethal Weapon", which will be released on March 6.
These two films are the biggest danger of "Die Hard", especially "Lethal Weapon", which was released in March at the same time as "Die Hard", and is his biggest rival.
As the week passed, "Die Hard" rose with an average of 155861 single-day box office results, reaching 3142073 box office results in the first week.
On March 6, the competitor "Lethal Weapon" was released, and the box office comparison between the two in the week, "Die Hard" beat the average box office of "Lethal Weapon" with an average of $8,714, beating the average box office of "Lethal Weapon" at 7,823.
One week's "Die Hard" won $15033127 at the box office to become the weekly champion, "Lethal Weapon" came in second, and Oliver Stone's "Field Platoon" came in third.
If it is really a competitive box office, the first week of "Field Platoon" is not right, and the average box office can be compared with "Lethal Weapon" and "Die Hard".
Between the three films, it is only the newly released "Die Hard" and "Lethal Weapon" that can be regarded as competing at the same time.
After the film's box office came out, entertainment reporters began writing about the box office of Die Hard and Leicester.
According to the current trend of "Die Hard", the rumor that the box office may exceed 100 million is circulating in entertainment journalist circles, and even in Hollywood.
It turns out that the total box office of "Die Hard" may not be as good as "Top Gun", but it also proves that Leicester's commercial potential director is not in vain.
"Lestrolle, the director of commercial potential, once again proved his ability, and "Die Hard" was a huge success. ”
"Lestrore can only make commercial films forever, and literary films are not successful at the box office. ”
In the villa of Billy Foshan, Lester holds a newspaper and reads an entertainment reporter's report.
There are good and bad things about him, the good ones are about his commercial films, and the bad ones are about the box office of "Chaplin".
At the end of January, "The Biography of Chaplin" was in theaters, with a total box office of only 30 million US dollars, and after deducting the production fee and theater sharing, it only received a few dozen US dollars, which shows how failed the box office is.
However, Lester was a little relieved to see such box office results, which was much higher than the box office he remembered, at least the production cost was earned.
Although the theater chain has been dropped, the DVD of "The Biography of Chaplin" has begun to sell, and it can recover a lot of money.
These entertainment reporters who say that he has no box office guarantee for making literary films, obviously ignore the high reputation of "The Biography of Chaplin".
If you compare the box office with commercial films and literary films, there is no scum left of literary films that can only be swallowed by commercial films.
There is no comparison between the two, one is high at the box office, the other is high in word-of-mouth, and few literary films can reach hundreds of millions of dollars.
To say that the two can be combined, that is, the combination of commercial films and literary films, can create a high box office and high reputation.
Mokcony Wright saw the negative news about him in the Leicester Prize newspaper and comforted him seriously: "Some reporters just don't see people well, and they always like to talk bad about people, don't take it too seriously." ”
"I'll take a casual look. Lester didn't care about the negative news about him written by the newspaper dealer, and squinted to see Mocony Wright packing her clothes again: "Are you going back to Harvard?"
"Yes. Mokconette put her things into the box and nodded.
Lester suddenly thought of something, put down the newspaper in his hand, and turned to Mokcony Wright: "You graduated, how about coming to my company as CEO." ”
"Be a CEO. When Mokcony Wright heard this, she put down the clothes in her hand and said in surprise: "You're not afraid that I'll cross your company, I haven't worked in Hollywood." ”
"Don't be afraid, I'm getting one again. Lester said solemnly.
When Mokonelle Wright heard this, she couldn't laugh or cry, and then said with a serious face: "I'll think about it." As he spoke, he put his things away, pulled up the box and walked outside: "I'll go first, I'll think carefully about what you said." ”
Seeing the door closed, Lester picked up a letter on his desk with an Oscar guest invitation letter, asking you to present the Oscar statuette to the winner.
