Chapter 60: A Feast of Carnival

Previous Chapter

From October 4th to 7th, for four days, Lin Han sang in Shanghai continuously, with three concerts of 50,000 people each, which was undoubtedly a feast of music carnival for fans.

The fans at the scene came from all over the world, some were local to Shanghai, some were near Shanghai, and some people came remotely by plane or train, just to listen to Lin Han's singing!

And Lin Han did not let the fans' expectations be disappointed, not only broke out a new song "Contentment" again, but also broke out an English single "one-love" at the last concert in Shanghai, which is Lin Han's second English single after "U-make-me-wanna", and the beautiful melody made the audience like this song for the first time.

After the concert, the audio of "one-love" began to circulate on the Internet, and although there was a lot of noise, it still did not prevent Lin Han's fans from listening to this must-have English single.

Many musicians in the circle were shocked when they saw Lin Han's posture, because Lin Han obviously wanted the Chinese music scene and the Western music scene to sweep together!

It's not that no one in the Chinese music scene has sung English songs, on the contrary, there are many, but their songs are all limited, and they can't enter the mainstream Western music scene at all, so they deceive domestic fans and live an addiction to English songs.

But Lin Han is different, his first English single amazed the Western music scene, topped many music charts in the United States and Europe, was well received in the Western music scene, and quickly captured a group of Western listeners and fans.

It is foreseeable that Lin Han will have a place in the Western music scene in the future, as long as his creative talent can continue to shine, even the Grammy Award is not a problem.

As for the Chinese music scene, looking at Lin Han's full concert today, you will know how terrible Lin Han's popularity is, he is completely a new Asian king, and the superstar is rising!

On October 8th, Lin Han transferred to Taipei, and in the next three days, he will sing twice in a row at the Taipei Arena, and then move to the Hong Kong Red Pavilion, singing all the way, and the carnival of the "Vast and Peerless" world tour will continue until the end of the year.

During the break, Lin Han finally had time to pay attention to the current situation of "Batman v X-Men" in the film market today.

From September 30th to October 6th, another week has passed, and the frenzy brought by "Batman vs. X-Men" is still hot, "Batman" and "X-Men 2" are constantly creating new box office records in various regions around the world, this is a feast of box office harvesting, from investors, theaters to theaters are very happy to see this scene, because it represents a steady stream of money into their pockets!

Last week, it was the fourth week of the release of "Batman", and in the absence of any heavyweight opponents, "Batman" still earned $95 million at the global box office in the fourth week, compared with last week, only $27 million was lost, which is a small decline, which is rare in the industry!

Box office analysts at major studios are busy, busy looking for reasons for "The Batman's" success amid the boring data.

At this point, the global box office of "Batman" has officially crossed the $500 million mark, even in the world box office film history list, "Batman" is also among the best, not to mention, the box office of $500 million is obviously not the end of "Batman", according to the current trend, at least it has two weeks of vitality.

In these two weeks, no one knows how far "Batman" will go, because the film market is a market where risks and opportunities coexist, full of accidents, some movies will hit the street and lose their bottoms, and some movies will shine and receive soft money!

Obviously, "Batman" falls into the latter case, but even after winning an excellent $95 million at the global box office last week, it was not "Batman" that won the global box office last week!

It was none other than "X-Men 2", which was full of gunpowder between it and "Batman" from the very beginning!

This Brian Singer-directed comic superhero blockbuster, with its excellent reputation beyond "Spider-Man", as well as high scores on various professional movie rating websites, continues to shine in the film market, in the third week of release, "X-Men 2" superheroes have won $100 million at the global box office, compared with last week's box office of $120 million, only $20 million in blood loss, the decline is much smaller than that of "Batman", and its stamina is naturally very strong!

As a result, under the watchful eye of "X-Men 2", the global box office naturally easily crossed the $400 million mark, officially surpassing the global box office results of the previous work "X-Men".

Many Hollywood box office analysts have commented that "X-Men 2" can at least reach $700 million or $800 million at the global box office, even if it can't reach the $1 billion level of "Spider-Man."

As for "Batman", because it is not a sequel movie, box office analysts believe that it will not have a lot of momentum, and the global box office will be about $600 million.

After reading all the data and reports one by one, Lin Han couldn't help but sigh, after all, these box office analysts in Hollywood are professional, and there are still people who can see something, but Lin Han disagrees with the box office prediction of "X-Men 2".

No one knows better than Lin Han about the box office curse of the X-Men series of movies, in the previous life, none of the X-Men series of movies had a box office of more than $800 million, although this series of movies has become a classic among the classics, and the box office performance is still not too high.

And the most blood-vomiting thing is that among the X-Men series of movies, the highest box office is actually the X-Men series of movies - "Deadpool", at a cost of $58 million, "Deadpool" collected $780 million at the global box office, which immediately made the prequels of the X-Men series cry and faint in the toilet!

In this life, because of the rise of the Chinese market and other oriental film markets, the world film market is many times more prosperous than in previous lives, but the curse is the curse, and it is still difficult to break.

According to Lin Han's prediction, the global box office of "X-Men 2" can reach $600 million, which is already the best situation.

Why is Lin Han so sure? Although "Batman" and "X-Men 2" have both received a two-week key postponement in China, on October 15, a local Chinese super blockbuster "I Am a Rogue " will be released worldwide!

This is a super hot-blooded movie adapted from the first work of the first blood red god in the online literature industry, produced by Haohan Pictures, with an investment of up to 300 million yuan, and produced by a top team.

Lin Han has also seen the trailer, and even with his critical eye, he has to admit that this is a movie that has reached the level of a Hollywood blockbuster in terms of plot and special effects.

Although there is a lot of content in this movie that punches Japan and scolds Europe and the United States, and the leaders of the Western world actually reject it, the hot-blooded and dark elements, coupled with the novel oriental cultivation elements, make Galaxy Pictures, which dominates the Western light and shadow market, smell the smell of money.

Galaxy Pictures doesn't care about the ugly faces of Western leaders, and in Hollywood movies, are there still few movies that depict all kinds of dark satire? One more "I'm a Rogue - Hooligan" is not a big deal, for them, just make money.

So, after the release of this movie, "Batman" and "X-Men 2" will definitely gradually retreat from the market, and then, at the end of the month Halloween, the horror movie "Saw 2" produced by Williams Films will be terrifying!

Because of the positive reception of "Chainsaw" and the fact that it is Halloween, this horror movie is bound to be a global hit again and become a box office harvester again!!

"Saw 2" will be the last straw on the camel, squeezing "Batman" and "X-Men 2" out of the film market, and the next box office battle will be between "Saw 2" and "I'm a Rogue ".

In the next two months, two super blockbusters, "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" and "The Lord of the Rings 2: The Two Towers", will also be released, as sequel films, these two films will undoubtedly dominate the global box office charts, and this winter season will not be too deserted.

After Lin Han looked at his Williams Films' film plan, he was relieved, no matter how much box office they harvested, anyway, Williams Films did not have a movie released at the same time.

Of course, "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" released on November 15 will still have a certain impact on the box office of "Saw 2", plus there is a heavyweight opponent "I Am a Rogue - Rogue " in front, after thinking about it, Lin Han finally made a decision, that is, to use his magic weapon again - large-scale screening in advance!

Previously, "Saw 2" had already been determined to be screened on a large scale in advance in Eastern countries and regions such as Huaxia, Central South Federation, Zhuguo, and Japan, and this time, Lin Han decided to implement the trick of large-scale screening in advance in Western regions such as North America, Latin America, and Europe!

As soon as he thought of it, Lin Han immediately made a call to Edward of Galaxy Pictures, without taking into account that people were sleeping at this time, so he woke Edward from his sleep, and it was over after an hour of discussion!

Although he was a little annoyed by being woken up in the middle of the night, Edward immediately left a certain third-tier Hollywood beauty star in the bed, and went to the study alone to write a plan about what he had just discussed with Lin Han, and prepared to hand it over to Galaxy Pictures as soon as possible in the morning.

The result after the fact also proved the wisdom of Lin Han's move, not only avoiding the collision with a powerful opponent, but also continuing the box office myth of "Chainsaw", and even made a breakthrough, which once again made many Hollywood box office analysts admire!
