792. The World's No. 1 Cinema Distributor
PS: Thank you for the commuter pass for your casual classmates!
While the publicity is in full swing, "Gravity" also continues to be a big hit, continuing to sweep the North American box office charts.
Ye Sumang has been promoting for two weeks, and the box office of "Gravity" has also exceeded 130 million yuan, it is worth saying that although the box office of this movie has not really reached the point of blowout, it has an extremely stable attendance rate and word of mouth, in the second week of the North American box office list, even if there are blockbusters such as "The Amazing Spider-Man" and "Men in Black 3" blocking the way, it still can't stop "Gravity" from sitting on the throne of the weekly box office champion.
And there are more and more evaluations of this film on the Internet, but it is obviously an extreme, some people love it very much, and some people find it boring, but the rating of 8.8 on IMDB still shows that the impression of this film in the eyes of the audience is indeed very good.
In the circle, the word-of-mouth of this film has shown a one-sided trend, and even those film critics who originally had a lot of criticism about Ye Sumang had to vaguely praise this film, especially in terms of special effects, which has been the highest affirmation in the industry, and many special effects professional magazines have named it 'No. 1 in the world'.
This is the first time that the phantom has been so recognized by the public, although the previous special effects skills are very good, and they are also the top in the world, but there has been no such praise from the media, I didn't expect that this time I finally raised my eyebrows, and Huaxia's special effects company has also achieved the first throne in the world!
As for the Best Special Effects Award at next year's Oscars, needless to say, the public unanimously believes that this is already in the pocket of the Phantom team, and even in the circle, it is recognized that "Gravity" will become the biggest winner of next year's Oscars, and there is no one!
"It's a perfect film that combines business and art. The commercial value embodied in this film and those thought-provoking and wonderful plots prove that its comprehensive strength is strong, unless there is another miracle movie, or next year's Oscar will definitely belong to Miramax again! ”
In their opinion, this film is even better than "Inception", which is now rated as high as 9.0 on IMDB, and believes that this is Ye Sumang's representative work that is gradually maturing, the most perfect combination of art and business.
This kind of film is also the most sought after model of the official film school. If it is not favored, it will simply be intolerable, and of course, the United States will think that it is sorry for God.
Overseas, the trend of this box office is also very good, especially in Ye Sumang's home Huaxia, "Gravity" almost came to the summer file in China with a sweeping trend, and it can be predicted that the domestic box office will inevitably exceed one billion again. This will also become another blockbuster film by Ye Sumang to break the 1 billion box office line.
And Ye Sumang's position as the No. 1 person at the domestic box office continues to widen the gap with the chasers behind him, and this gap is enough to make any director feel daunted.
What surprised Ye Sumang was that the box office data in Japan and South Korea this time was also exceptionally good, especially in the land of South Korea, the trend of this film even surpassed the trend of "Inception", the final total box office data of "Inception" in South Korea was 5.69 million viewers, and "Gravity", which has been released for two weeks, has reached about 3 million. This growth rate is absolutely staggering, and it is clear that Inception can't seem to stop it anymore. And the data of 10.33 million viewers of "2012" may be the real goal of this movie.
This also proves that Ye Sumang's films conquer this very exclusive land in the real sense, in the box office list of imported films in South Korea, Ye Sumang occupies 4 positions in the top ten movies, and the top of the list is also officially his real 3D movie "2012", this achievement. It is also the best achievement of foreign directors in the history of South Korea.
Influenced by Ye Sumang, Xiaoyuan's classmates in the girlhood also benefited a lot, as Liu Yifei's best friend, she often appeared in Liu Yifei's various gatherings, even if it was just the outflow of a photo, it increased her own value a lot. Coupled with the fact that the influence of his group itself is gradually spreading, her popularity is also steadily rising.
And recently she also officially joined the film and television production company established by Tianxia Group and S&M Company in South Korea, and really took a step from idol to actor.
After all, idols can't be lifelong people, especially female artists, if they can't embark on the road of being an actor, they will either disappear from the public after their thirties, find someone to marry and then become a full-time housewife, or they will be reduced to a funny artist and be tricked in the show every day.
After all, not everyone can become an artist like Lee Hyo-ri, and if they leave the group, they can still stand out in the idol circle individually, and there is only one Lee Hyo-ri who can still shine in this circle after the Korean women's idol group is disbanded now......
Therefore, Ye Sumang's signing of Xiaoyuan is a way back for this little girl, she no longer has to worry about a series of problems brought about by the dissolution of the group all the time, she only needs to sing and act seriously, relying on the rich resources of the film and television company to gradually transform into a multi-habitat artist, gradually change the public's impression of her, and then succeed like her predecessors Yin Enhui and Cheng Youli.
Another week has passed, and "Gravity" has also begun to be released in European countries one after another, and the box office results are still good, and the box office data of the third week in North America has also made "Gravity" officially break through the box office of 200 million US dollars, the key is that the attendance rate has not decreased significantly, and it has been maintained very well, which also makes the theater very confident that the North American box office of this film can break 100 million yuan, which seems to have become a sure thing.
In this regard, Miramax rejoiced, after all, a high box office means that they can get a high bonus, which has become a routine in Miramax, and even in a year, they get more bonuses than their original generous salary, and this year, what they are most looking forward to is not Ye Sumang's movie, because Ye Sumang has never disappointed them at the box office.
Of course, as Hollywood's top-rated film company, the growth of this team over the years is also obvious to all, some excellent costume engineers, prop masters and photographers have entered this big family one after another, which has greatly improved the strength of Miramax, and now in addition to the most critical cinema chain and film library heritage, Miramax's strength has not lost to Paramount These old companies, especially the annual profit at the box office, has reached the level of Hollywood's first income for two consecutive years.
For the theater, Ye Sumang is not without consideration, and even he has already put it into action.
And Ye Sumang's goal is officially the world's second-largest cinema chain company AMC!!
This company ranks second in the North American market share, with 339 cinemas, and has its own cinemas in the United Kingdom, France, HK and other places, and if this company is won, Ye Sumang's power in North America will also get a leap forward, becoming a real Hollywood predator, and even with Ye Sumang's own hands of the world's cinemas, the number of cinemas and screens he has mastered will surpass the No. 1 reagl company and reach the first position in the world!!
And this pure cinema company has not had a good time in recent years, which also gave Ye Sumang a chance to speak, and in this year or so, Ye Sumang even secretly reduced about four percent of his Facebook shares to cash out, in order to use sufficient funds to smash the company up and down at once.
And now, the secret negotiation has undoubtedly reached the most advanced stage, Ye Sumang has almost half of this cinema company, and now the dispute over the contract has entered the most difficult link.
In the fourth week, "Gravity" once again received 51 million box office data, with a total box office of nearly 260 million yuan, but unfortunately, this week's "Batman. The Dark Knight" was launched, although it did not compress the scheduling rate of "Gravity", but it undoubtedly hooked up a lot of audiences, and as a pure commercial blockbuster, he is indeed very enjoyable, and the brand is bright enough, so it is reasonable to become the weekly box office champion of this week.
In the fifth week of the following, "Gravity" harvested again, with a box office of 43 million, and the total box office data officially exceeded 300 million yuan, and at the same time, he followed in the footsteps of Batman and continued to sit in the second place of the week, not at all shaken by the films behind, and the swallow with full stamina couldn't see that this was a movie that had been released for more than a month.
And at the end of the fifth week, Ye Sumang's negotiators and AMC's negotiations finally reached an agreement, Ye Sumang will acquire 100% of AMC's equity assets for $2.5 billion in his personal capacity, and when Ye Sumang signed the contract, he also became the largest cinema operator in the world!
Considering AMC's market share in North America, combined with Miramax, the prototype of a Hollywood giant company has gradually emerged.
That night, Miramax's official website also announced the news, and when reporters and the public saw the news, they couldn't help but rub their eyes in surprise, and involuntarily looked at the date in the lower right corner to see if it was April Fool's Day.
However, it is obvious that this year's April Fool's Day has long passed, and this news naturally cannot be Ye Sumang to tease the public, because just three minutes later, AMC's official website also released the news of the acquisition, and this news immediately caused a storm on both sides of the ocean!
