"Time Network News - Welcome to this issue of the North American box office rankings, the psychological thriller "Split", created by thriller masters Nate Shyamalan and James McAvoy, successfully repelled strong enemies, easily defused the offensive of pet tear-jerking movies and video game adaptations, and won the North American weekly championship. In addition, the low-budget sci-fi film "Immortality", written and directed by Lin Han and starring Xu Jiayan, landed in North America, ranking 15th on the weekend box office list, recovering its costs strongly!www.biquge.info ”

The focus of the report fell strongly on "Immortality", and readers were surprised to find that it arrived in North America without a sound, and it was also distributed by Weinstein Pictures.

"With a total cost of 100,000 yuan, "Immortality" received $1.02 million in the first weekend in North America, with an average revenue of $17,000 per theater, ranking the highest in a single theater this week. The audience has a good reputation, and American audiences can also understand the movie, and in the next week, "Immortality" will be expanded to 123 screenings, and the final cumulative is expected to be around 10 million.

This is the excellent performance of Chinese low-budget films in the North American box office market, if you don't count "The Martian", it is the best opening record in three years!

Another new film, "Gold", was released in 2,166 theaters, and only won $3.47 million in three days over the weekend, both word-of-mouth and box office performance were average! ”

American audiences are actually quite picky about watching movies, and many Chinese films are difficult to achieve good results here, and there are very few Chinese-language films that can break 10 million at the box office in North America, let alone movies with such a good start.

Considering the cost of "Immortality", this weekend's box office is indeed a small profit, and people are very curious about how the movie can end!

The original micro-of the time network. There are only dozens of replies and forwards to a message from Bo, but after this box office summary was posted, it immediately attracted the attention of a large number of people, and the attention immediately increased several steps.

In the following time, major media and gossip accounts followed up one after another, and many viewers found out at this time that "Immortality" was not only very popular in China!

Xinhuanet: "Immortality" officially landed in the North American market, and the revenue of a single museum exceeded that of "Split" in the first weekend

Phoenix.com: Lin Han brought his new work "Immortality" to be released on PG-13 in North America, creating a good result for small-scale films!

New. Lang Entertainment: The overseas ambassador of Chinese culture, "Immortality" has a big reputation!

Net. Yi Entertainment: "Immortality" was screened on a small scale in North America, and the word-of-mouth box office was both popular!

In the movie box office bar, "Immortality", which has been sung countless times, finally raised its eyebrows once, and everyone seemed to be frightened by this achievement.

"Shocked! The road to profitability of 100,000 small-cost sci-fi films is not over yet, how much money does "Immortality" plan to make! ”

"It is predicted that the total box office of "Immortality" will only be 20 million, otherwise it will be broadcast live to JJ"

"It's so terrifying, the three heroes of the Spring Festival stalls failed to land in the North American market in real time, but Lin Han's low-budget movie went to be screened, and the $1.02 million result of 58 movie theaters was absolutely successful!"

"Lin Han's overseas appeal is too powerful, take stock of his readers' comments on Twitter and Facebook."

"I almost forgot that Lin Han was originally a director, "Immortality" can only be said to be average, I hope he will make more real sci-fi blockbusters in the future!"

"[Inventory] The first batch of film reviews in North America for "Immortality" has been released, let's see what professional film reviews and audience evaluations are like"

"[Turn] YouTube bloggers interviewed the real feelings of movie theater audiences, do you think "Immortality" is good?"

Today's movie box office bar seems to be full of posts related to "Immortality" floating all over the screen, whether it is pink or black, anyway, the amount of discussion is directly up!

……

In fact, Lin Han was also surprised by this box office result, he and the crew members did not go to North America to promote it, and Weinstein Pictures obviously would not invest too much promotional resources in such a low-budget film.

In this way, the million-dollar box office is almost entirely dependent on the spontaneous actions of North American audiences, and there must be Lin Han's readers!

Last year, all of his novels sold very high in the North American market, reaching more than 17 million copies, of course, if you spread it over each novel, the number is only one or two million, more than 4 million, and only about 1 million.

Now on the New York Times bestseller list is still his book "Hyperion", which fell to second place after eight consecutive weeks, but regained the top spot three weeks later!

Word-of-mouth is very important, "Hyperion" has almost zero negative reviews from professional book reviewers, and the word-of-mouth among readers is also very good, which can stand the test of time.

Even if Lin Han didn't go to any talk shows or be interviewed by magazines, he was able to sell so many books every week, and these readers, especially hardcore readers, became the source of his perseverance!

"I said, "Thy is yours." Are you God's illegitimate child, why did you catch up with everything? ”

Li Wenyuan sat opposite Lin Han, he looked at the content of the newspaper next to him, and sighed to himself.

Lin Han also felt the same way, if it weren't for God's preferential treatment, how could he have come back to life, and he also had an extraordinary memory.

"That's probably it, is that what you're coming to me for today?"

Li Wenyuan shook his head, and he said: "Actually, I came to you just to ask if your company still has a writer agent, I just want to write a novel quietly, and leave the copyright matter to a professional." When you are a lone ranger, you have to do everything yourself, I heard you talk about the writer's agency business before, so I want to ask. ”

"Of course, although the Galaxy Group mainly promotes my own works, but the future must not be so limited, there are so many best-selling authors in China, if we really join forces, it must be a very good business!"

There is a big difference between having a broker and not having a broker, although you have to pay a part of the share, the benefits you can enjoy are enough.

Writers' agents can play a blackface when it is inconvenient for writers, whether it is manuscript fees or royalties, or various copyright income and writers' image building!

"To tell you the truth, don't many domestic film companies see that your two novels are adapted from science fiction movies and have a good box office and reputation? So you came to me and wanted to buy the film and TV series adaptations of my other two novels, "Out of the Galaxy" and "Out of the Mother Universe", I thought it would be better to hand it over to you professionals. ”

This is a door-to-door business, and Lin Han readily agreed!
