Chapter 810: Returning home in a low-key manner
Monday.
Sunday's box office was also quickly announced.
"Lonely Heart": $8.399 million.
"Speed": $8.537 million.
Driven by good word-of-mouth, the box office of both films has risen significantly compared to their premiere days.
"Speed" still leads by a paltry margin.
Looking at the next day's data, many people in the industry were silent.
They were silent for a long time.
Is it luck that "Speed" leads for two days in a row?
Apparently not.
In Hollywood, the deep pool of the hidden dragon and the Crouching Tiger, he has always spoken with strength.
There's never such a thing as luck here.
"Speed" II is really amazing!
Others don't know, but as industry insiders, they know better than anyone that although "Speed" is leading by a small margin, this leading title can bring huge benefits.
Because the audience won't care how far ahead it is. All they know is that it grosses higher than "Lonely Heart".
And it's higher than it for two days in a row.
This will make many viewers take it for granted that "Speed" is better than "Lonely Courage", and will make them choose "Speed" first when watching the movie.
Not only the audience, but even major theaters will subconsciously schedule a little more films for high-grossing movies, and will let it show one or two more.
One theater has one or two more shows, and there are so many theaters in the country, this number is terrifying.
If the audience and the theater focus on "Speed", "Lonely Courage" may die a miserable death in the end!
I don't know if Tangram Film and Television also realized this and did something, and on the third day, their box office finally surpassed "Speed".
Although they were only ahead of $30,000, they managed to suppress "Speed" once.
Day 4......
Day 5......
Day 6......
In the next few days, the two movies went back and forth in this box office battle, and they were indistinguishable and evenly matched.
The box office figures are extremely scorching.
The war has really entered the white-hot stage.
Whether it is September Film and Television or Tangram Film and Television, they are all doing their best to improve box office results.
All kinds of publicity, all kinds of peripherals, all kinds of preferential activities......
The leading actors of the two movies are not idle, and they keep going to major theaters to promote, often rushing to the next one as soon as it ends.
Hollywood's propaganda methods are all hard propaganda.
They didn't rely on some lace news to attract attention when they were released, like some domestic works.
Hollywood doesn't, and neither does publicity.
When he was in China, Zhang Yang disdained to use such a method, and now when he goes abroad, of course he will not use that low-level propaganda method.
It's either a beautiful poster, a wonderful trailer, or the main actors themselves to attract the audience.
Here's how they advertise it!
This is a kind of benign propaganda, and it is also a form of propaganda that the audience will accept and will not find offended.
The audience enjoyed the two films with high interest.
Industry insiders are paying high attention to the data of these two films.
Hollywood is bustling.
Behind the excitement is an undercurrent.
……
When the war in Hollywood was already bloody, Zhang Yang had appeared in a low-key third country thousands of miles away.
This is where Speed III was filmed.
Most of the filming of this part will be done in this country.
Confirm the venue.
Instruct the assistant director to set up the scene.
Meet the country's official leaders.
And so on and so forth.
Of course, this kind of thing to negotiate cooperation with the official is arranged by September Film and Television, after all, they are a Hollywood team. It will be much easier to come out and talk about cooperation with the sign of Hollywood.
However, as a director and investor, since he came, it seemed a little unreasonable not to meet them to say hello.
Finally, he also personally received the new luxury cars sent by major sponsors.
The popularity of "Speed" II made all major sponsors laugh.
Box office?
Tearing up with "Lonely Courage"?
They don't care.
They only know that because of this box office war, the attention of "Speed" has soared!
Whether it is industry insiders or ordinary audiences, they pay more attention to this movie than usual, and pay more attention to the luxury cars that appear in the movie.
Don't you see a lot of netizens talking about it on the Internet?
Didn't you see a noticeable increase in their sales during this time?
Sponsoring this movie is really worth the money!
All sponsors think so.
So, of course, they will continue to sponsor the third part!
Because of this unexpected great attention, these sponsors almost forgave Zhang Yang for the painful experience of being abused to death when he talked about sponsorship......
Zhang Yang didn't stay in the country for long.
After spending five days explaining everything to assistant director Rogge and Sia, he stepped on the plane back to China.
Although his opponent this time is in Hollywood, his focus is still on China.
Whether it is two domestic movies or a few blockbusters shot in Hollywood, there are many scenes that are filmed in China.
This is something he once promised Director Xu.
Movies are used as a window to show other countries their food and customs. Let the world know them more intuitively.
Therefore, as long as it is a plot that can be filmed in China, he will choose to shoot in China.
As for what can be filmed in China and what can't, he has to ask Director Xu to know.
Anyway, he knew that the "Speed" series was impossible.
However, a large part of "Inception" should be filmable in China.
Several other parts should also be negotiable.
……
It was early Saturday morning when I returned home.
In just one week, after three countries, the flamboyant biological clock has been completely disrupted.
Therefore, even if it was early in the morning, he did not feel the slightest sleep.
On the way back to the rental house, he even watched the domestic entertainment news with great interest.
I don't know if I don't see it, but it really scared him when I saw it.
His Weibo has exploded again!
Not to mention that ordinary viewers want to send him blades, even his unreliable fans have to say that they will throw bombs at him.
They are even frantically preparing to rebel again!
The fuse is none other than "Speed" II!
"Speed" has been released in Hollywood for a week, and there is no news in China, and netizens are not calm!
Countless people were asking him if he could have a good time.
"......" looked at the almost all "threat" messages on Weibo, and he was sweating.
He is also very aggrieved!
He originally wanted to wait for "Lonely Courage" to be released together when it was released in China, who knew that Pioneer Media was so cheating on him!
Who knew that Pioneer Media had also learned not to play cards according to routines!
Who knew they were so timid that they didn't dare to release it directly!
"Lonely Courage" has been scheduled in other countries, and there is no news in China, and he is also very hurt.
His plans in the country were disrupted, and he didn't even say anything!
If Pioneer Media knew about his grievances, they would probably vomit three liters of blood!
Or don't we play according to the routine?
Are we timid?
We disrupted your plans?
Your sister!!
Do you still have the face to say?
Why don't we dare to set the schedule, do you have no points in your heart?
Look at all the you've done in Hollywood!
Look at the box office of "Speed" and "Lonely Heart" in the week ahead!
See for yourself!
Take a good look!
Who doesn't play according to the routine!
Do you know what our faces were when we heard the second shot of "Speed"?
Do you know how surprised we were when we found out that it was going to be released at the same time as "Lonely Courage"?
Do you know how horrified we were when we learned that it was going to go after it abroad?
Can you think about our feelings?
We almost all scared you to death, okay?
Pioneer Media is really devastated.
Jiang Daofu has already cried several times.
Zhang Yang's combat effectiveness has far exceeded his imagination.
He didn't know what was going on, he hadn't seen him for a month, and they didn't seem to be opponents of the same level as Zhang Yang......
He actually followed Hollywood frantically!
It's a pity that they were still looking forward to using "Lonely Courage" to fight a beautiful turnaround, but they were still laughing in the conference room before that "Lonely Courage" was coming, and Zhang Yang would never dare to provoke them again.
The result: This madman turned around and threw such a bombshell!
Oh my God, when did he get the second shot of "Speed"?
It's okay to shoot it, why is he still fighting with Hollywood?
When he heard the news, he really jumped in shock!
God knows how frightened he was!
Lose your marbles!
It's really crazy!
This was Jiang Daofu's first thought after coming back to his senses.
If he wasn't crazy, how dare he do such a thing?
Fight with Tangram Film and Television?
How dare he!
He...... He...... What the hell does he want to do?
Jiang Daofu felt that he was about to go crazy!
You know, when the poster of "Speed" II appeared on the streets of the United States, he happened to take "Lonely Courage" to be submitted for trial!
They are excitedly preparing to confirm its release date in China......
And then......
There is no then.
The second "Speed" was born, which forced them to stop the release plan of "Lonely Courage".
Release?
Inexistent!
Will they not know the sex of the peculiary of the flamboyant?
If they dare to announce the release time of "Lonely Courage" in China, he will definitely follow immediately!
There is no doubt about it.
This madman dares to jump into the deep water of Hollywood, where will he still take them into account?
What followed did not surprise him at all.
"Speed" bites "Lonely Courage" to the death!
It's like the shadow of "Lonely Courage", wherever "Lonely Courage" goes, it follows!
This kind of desperate style of play made Jiang Daofu tremble.
He's all too familiar with this style of play!
But he would never have imagined that those giants of Hollywood would also have the opportunity to experience such an indescribable taste.
At that moment, Jiang Daofu almost burst into tears.
Finally, someone can enjoy this taste of desire-fairy-desire-death with him!
But what next!!
