"How Manhua, how is the box office of the Terminator. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Li Manhua took out the information and said: "China is close to 1.95 billion, Asia is close to 2 billion, the United States is 700 million, the Americas are 730 million, the United Kingdom is 520 million, and Australia is 450 million...... which is much stronger than in the first part. Ye Zhiqiu said, feeling a little bit in his heart.
The Terminator invests 300 million, and if you add the mess that is not counted by the Entertainment Guild, I'm afraid it will be close to 400 million.
As for the investment in Terminator 2, the actual investment adds up to more than 500 million, although the standard of the Entertainment Guild only recognizes the investment of 450 million, which seems to be no more than 1.5 billion on the surface, but at the box office, whether it is China, or the United States, or Asia and America, the total box office is nearly one billion more.
Coupled with the accidents of several European and New World countries such as the United Kingdom and Australia, the box office made an extra profit, which also made Ye Zhiqiu quite happy.
Although the outside world has recognized his reputation now, the box office will inevitably not be bad, but seeing is believing, Ye Zhiqiu still pays more attention to the actual box office results.
It's just that what makes Ye Zhiqiu depressed is that his box office performance in China has reached as much as 1.95 billion, on the other hand, the total box office in the whole of Asia has only reached 2 billion, although this is also a great achievement and pride for the outside world, but for Ye Zhiqiu, it is undoubtedly a huge irony, which proves that in various Asian countries alone, he still has sixty or seventy percent of the market not occupied.
Although the size of each country is different, it is not as big as China, and the population is not as large as China, and even the population of more than 20 countries adds up to only more than 3 billion, which is not a point or two worse than Huaguo, a super populous country with a population of 2 billion, but with a population of more than 3 billion, the number of theaters in various countries is also quite a lot, and it is impossible that the box office has just reached the same level as the box office of China.
This made Ye Zhiqiu feel regretful, realizing that this was the result of the restrictions of the world entertainment system and the number of theaters in various countries, and it was not something that could be changed by his personal influence and manpower for the time being.
Unlike some countries, although the population of the United States is not as large as that of China, it is a veritable film kingdom, and the number of theaters alone is almost the same as that of China, which shows the madness of its citizens watching movies. However, the number of 6,500 theaters, and the box office only reached 700 million, although this result is already very good, but for Ye Zhiqiu, compared to his achievements in Huaguo, it still can't make him satisfied.
Fortunately, after experiencing the success of the first part of the Terminator and the Destiny Planning Bureau, he has already stood in the United States, and the success of the second part of the Terminator will inevitably bring him one step closer, as long as he can grasp the future, he will inevitably turn the United States upside down like when he was in China, and then the people of the whole country will accept him, and the Golden Bottle Pavilion will not be regarded as if he does not exist.
As for the box office of about 5 billion, although it has made many people look up to it. But it still can't be compared with Lu Zhishu, Zhou Mutai, and James, the world-class directors of Jinzunge, who have more than 15 billion and close to 20 billion in global results. It can't be compared with the box office performance of Myerst, the king of the world of the Golden Bottle Pavilion, who exceeded more than 20 billion yuan, but it is worth celebrating that Ye Zhiqiu is also qualified to get started.
In the next few months, Terminator II will also land in some countries in Europe, some countries in New Zealand, and some countries in India, even if it doesn't work again, it will always be able to exceed the box office of more than one billion, so that the box office results of nearly seven billion are also very good.
Compared with the investment of less than 500 million yuan recognized by the outside world, this is already a big profit, and there is no faster than making money, just like grabbing money.
In fact, there is a reason why Ye Zhiqiu is not satisfied, because the money and currency in this world are universal, so that Ye Zhiqiu has always thought that the money here is worthless, and for a long time, this concept has been lingering in his heart, he always thinks that the billion here is the 100 million US million on the earth in the previous life, 6 billion sounds good, it sounds scary, it seems to be only 600 million US dollars, although 20 billion sounds good, but in Ye Zhiqiu's opinion, it is only more than 2 billion.
Although this is not the case in fact, Ye Zhiqiu misunderstood, but he has always stubbornly thought so.
In this world, because of the development of the entertainment industry, the film industry of various countries is very closely connected, and the taxes on actors are also very high. At the same time, in the absence of money comparison, and the general love of enjoyment among the people of this world, Ye Zhiqiu mistakenly thought that money was worthless. In fact, in terms of people's wages and consumption levels, it is not as worthless as Ye Zhiqiu imagined.
In short, this is a world of entertainment that cannot be measured by the mind. Since it is immeasurable, it is just to enjoy it, to experience it.
After all these years of growth, Ye Zhiqiu has already accepted the reality and adjusted his mentality, it can be said that he lives with such a mentality. Otherwise, I wouldn't have gradually become so persistent and wanted to prove myself so much.
On the other hand, a film like Terminator, although not really a blockbuster, can be regarded as a medium investment.
From the beginning of the project, to the preparation of all aspects, and then the remuneration of all the main actors and actors, as well as post-production, publicity, release and other procedures, it is impossible to invest only three or four billion along the way, but this world because of the existence of entertainment guilds, as well as the entertainment laws promulgated by various countries, and because its entertainment profession is too much higher than the earth, so some miscellaneous money is all thrown away, and only the main investment projects such as actors' salaries are calculated when calculating investment. made Terminator II, which originally had a real investment of more than 550 million, finally set at 450 million by the Entertainment Guild, which also misled many of Ye Zhiqiu's judgments.
Of course, a big part of it is that Ye Zhiqiu doesn't care about the accounts, and all the things are handed over to Rainbow International and Fengyun Studio, and he has always been just making money, just spending money, so he has no concept about it, that's all.
As there was a knock on the door, Zou Lengfeng walked in.
"Boss, this is a call from the veteran actor of the Golden Bottle Pavilion, Tyrone Jason."
"Tyrone Jason?" Ye Zhiqiu was a little surprised.
Zou Lengfeng took out a piece of information and handed it to Ye Zhiqiu: "This is Tailong's information, he is the most famous tough guy in the Golden Bottle Pavilion, and he was once listed as the four tough guys in the Golden Bottle Pavilion along with Anowag, Yunton, and Jason. ”
"He is a native of the United States, and he is also a famous director and producer......"
While listening to Zou Lengfeng's introduction, Ye Zhiqiu looked at Tailong's information, and the more he looked at it, the more surprised he became, and finally couldn't help laughing, which surprised Zou Lengfeng and Li Manhua, and didn't understand why Ye Zhiqiu laughed.
In fact, Ye Zhiqiu smiled for a reason, not only the name Tai Long, but also the photos, age, and experience, etc., Ye Zhiqiu almost equated this person with Stallone on the earth.
Ye Zhiqiu couldn't help but be a little curious, and asked, "Did he call me?" What are you looking for me to do? ”
Zou Lengfeng said: "It was yesterday, yesterday the boss was filming the bodyguard, and I was filming too late at night because I worked overtime, so I didn't have time to tell you about it." ”
"Tyrone first congratulated you on the box office success of the Terminator, and then wanted to ask you out to talk, and he expressed great curiosity and interest in you."
Li Manhua said with a smile: "Head, you now have the title of tough guy in the United States, and your terminator doesn't know how many people in the United States have conquered." ”
Zou Lengfeng also nodded: "As a veteran tough guy in Jinzunge, although Tailong has gradually stopped filming in recent years because of his age, fans around the world are still looking forward to him, and I guess it may be related to the movie." ”
Ye Zhiqiu was also a little uncertain, thought for a while and said, "Leng Feng, you call Tai Long now, if he has anything important, I can spare an afternoon to talk to him......
"Okay, boss." After speaking, Zou Lengfeng walked out.
Li Manhua continued to report: "Head, Miss Shaman came to you privately yesterday and said that she wanted to talk to you. ”
Ye Zhiqiu was stunned: "Shaman? One of the top ten actresses with surnames in the United States? Didn't she come with Nicholas? ”
Li Manhua shook his head and said: "She came alone, but when she learned that you were filming, she left again, let me leave you a message, saying that she is bored alone and wants to relax alone......"
Ye Zhiqiu's expression was a little weird, seeing that Li Manhua's eyes were slightly small, a little crescent-shaped, and he realized that the secretary might have been slandered in his heart.
"After Leng Feng decides on the time, you can help me make an appointment with Nicholas and Shaman, and I will sit with the two of them." Ye Zhiqiu said, and at the same time warned Li Manhua with his eyes, meaning to let her not think cranky.
Li Manhua stuck out his tongue and said: "Head, Lu Zhishu and Director Lu also sent a message, saying that if you are busy, you can go to the Iron and Blood Battlefield crew to report in September." ”
Ye Zhiqiu was overjoyed, he didn't expect Lu Zhishu to be really accommodating, the progress of the bodyguards was beyond his imagination, Qin Yan's three concerts alone were a huge scene, and at the moment he had just finished filming a large-scale song party in the United States, and he was about to return to China to shoot a show, and then move to the United Kingdom to shoot the big show, and the itinerary had already been arranged.
The filming will be completed in August at the earliest, and the post-production may be delayed until September, but now that Lu Zhishu has given him enough time, he doesn't have to be so nervous.
"Boss, the time has been decided, Tyrone said that he has already booked a private room in the cloud seat, and he will go to the cloud seat first, where to welcome your arrival." Zou Lengfeng reported.
Ye Zhiqiu was very surprised, this Tailong was too enthusiastic about himself, I'm afraid it was not a simple matter.
"Cloud Seat, it's a real luxury place." Ye Zhiqiu sighed.
Yunzuo is the entertainment and leisure center of the highest consumption in the free capital of the capital of the United States, which is a paradise for the rich, a gathering place for playboys, a leisure and entertainment place for the young ladies of the world, and a good place for the nightlife of the superstars of the Golden Bottle Pavilion.
Ye Zhiqiu had also been taken by Nicholas and Tonys twice, but it was extremely luxurious, even more luxurious than the most luxurious water cloud room in Qingyang City.
After thinking for a while, Ye Zhiqiu said: "Leng Feng, you explain to the crew, there will be a holiday in the afternoon, let everyone rest for an afternoon, and go out to play if you should go out to play, but the intensity of this month or so is too high." ”
Zou Lengfeng nodded.
Ye Zhiqiu said again: "Manhua, you contact Nicholas and Shaman for me, and say that I will ask them to go out to sit together in the evening, and it is best to tell Qin Yan as well, forget it, I will say it myself over there." ”
"Wait, you contact the luxurious place, and notify all Fia, Tonys, Orgas, and Michael in the evening, and say that I will treat them in the evening and let them have a good time."
Li Manhua was overjoyed, nodded, and after confirming that there was nothing else, he walked out happily.
"Leng Feng, I'll leave it to you here after I leave."
Zou Lengfeng nodded, Ye Zhiqiu got up, and said to Zi Yuxun on the side: "Yuxun, you contact Xiaolong, as well as Gehu and Xia He, and make arrangements, and we will go to Yunzuo in ten minutes." ”
"Okay." Ziyuxun nodded, then walked out, and walked in a moment later.
"Ready, we'll go downstairs in five minutes."
Ye Zhiqiu nodded, he was used to such high efficiency, if there was really something long-winded, although he would not be in a hurry, I am afraid that he would also be a little uncomfortable.
From the filming of fairy tale musicals in Shanghua, to my savage girlfriend, to the upgrading of one movie after another, from the size of the scene to the size of the difficulty, he walked through step by step, although there were various difficulties during the period, but because his foundation was very solid, he also overcame all of them.
The current team, although it is not said to be top-notch, is at least first-class, and Ye Zhiqiu is also proud to be able to win various types of movies, and he is almost handy in command.
At the same time, in terms of the speed of shooting films, from the beginning to the present, he has also mastered a unique rhythm that is only suitable for him, although the rhythm is fast but orderly, there are almost no superfluous things, and things that he cannot control happen, which can only be honed by constantly shooting films all year round.
Today, he also has the reputation of being a perfect knife player in the world film industry, describing his fast shooting speed and the movies he shoots are also extremely classic.
The most important point is that because there have always been various classic series of the earth as a comparison, Ye Zhiqiu has also developed a hands-free style when editing his films, what is not needed is not needed, and what is liked is liked, which is also incompetent for countless directors.
As he walked step by step, by now, although the Terminator had caused him a little trouble, he still took it, and he now has a strong confidence that he can take any movie he wants to make.
In the process of constantly imitating classics, creating classics, and editing classics, he has also developed a kind of capture of classics, transformation of classics, and appreciation of classics.
He wants to make a few movies of his own after shooting the movies he wants to make, which can move the world, shake the world, and belong to him.
With such an idea, Ye Zhiqiu recorded all his thoughts, feelings, and occasional inspirations in his spare time in the small book he carried with him, and in addition to being a director and an actor, all his feelings were also recorded, which was to prepare for his future.
Five minutes later, Ye Zhiqiu went downstairs, accompanied by Zi Yuxun, Ma Xiaole, Ge Hu and others, and quietly drove towards the cloud seat.
Cloud Seat, a 100-storey skyscraper, is one of the world's most famous entertainment centers, where gambling, entertainment, and all kinds of things you can think of and can't think of.
There are all the famous entertainment in the world, there are all races in the world, there are thousands of beautiful women and handsome guys, and there are countless rich stars.
Here, there are political luminaries, movie superstars, the world's richest people, wealthy women, playboys, and beautiful women who dazzle you.
"Miss Paris, welcome to you, it's an honor to help you park your car." The handsome doorman smiled and bowed, showing graceful manners.
"Giggles, are you new here, I don't seem to have seen it, if you have time, you can come to the eighteenth floor......" The woman's voice was charming, her bare back skin was like bronze, and her hot figure attracted all the male guests who had just gotten off the car and were about to enter as soon as they appeared.
"Who is this woman?" Someone asked.
"You don't know? She is Paris, the eldest lady of the Hilton family, and a world-famous beautiful girl, are you interested? The man laughed.
"She's Paris, forget it, I can't take a woman like this......" The person who spoke before retreated, but despite this, his eyes were shining on Paris.
"Paris, you're seducing little virgins again, won't Vis be angry if you know about it?" A voice with a sense of surname came out, but I saw a beautiful woman dressed in fiery red surname coming off a luxurious red limited edition sports car, and suddenly the exclamation sounded again.
"Who is she, no worse than Paris."
"You're really pitiful, you don't even know anything, she is Monica, one of the top ten actresses with surnames in the United States, and the ranking is still ahead of Paris......"
"What is today, why are so many beauties here at once?"
"Monica, what about you, have you changed men again......" Paris smiled charmingly.
"Hey, that's Tyron, he's there?"
There was a slight jolt in the crowd at the sight of a muscular man who had suddenly appeared.
"Wow, a sixty-year-old, he doesn't look like anything at all, like he's in his forties."
"Look at his muscles, after so many years, they haven't changed much."
"Sure enough, he is one of the most famous tough guys in the Golden Bottle Pavilion."
"Mr. Tyrone, I'm your fan, can you sign it for me." A young man who had just gotten out of the car was overjoyed when he saw Tyrone, and then rushed up.
"I'm sorry, I'm waiting for someone, Yunzuo also has its own rules, I can't break the rules here." Tyrone politely refused, and the four bodyguards beside him also protected Tyrone.
"Tai Long, I'm Paris, you're my idol, I'm holding a birthday banquet on the eighteenth floor today, can I invite you to be my guest." Paris's eyes lit up, and she suddenly showed her charm and charged at Tyrone.
Tyrone smiled politely: "It's a pleasure to meet you, Miss Paris, say hello to your father on my behalf, we are friends, if I have time, I will go to your birthday banquet, but please forgive me, I am waiting for an important friend." ”
"Mr. Tyrone, what friend would have asked you to wait here?" Monica, who didn't go in on the side, also asked out in a timely manner, if you can get in touch with Tai Long, it will be a huge topic, the two are originally topic characters, they are famous women and stars in the United States, even if they just chat a few words, the names of the two will appear on tomorrow's entertainment report, why not do such a good thing.
As a yellow sports car stopped, a beautiful woman with a sense of surname stepped out of the car, and many people who did not enter were shocked again.
"Shaman, you're finally here." Paris and Monica led in.
Shaman said suspiciously: "Paris, how come there are so many people who are your friends?" God, this is Tailong, you invited Tailong? ”
Paris smiled, "No, it's Mr. Tyrone waiting for someone, why don't we wait......"
The two also nodded, and for the huge cloud seat, although so many people gathered at the door, the huge open space was also enough for pedestrians to come and go, although many people were very curious, and there were reporters taking pictures on the side, but because the cloud seat had its own rules, no one came to sign autographs and take a group photo.
"Yuxun, how could there be so many people gathered at the gate of the cloud seat." As soon as he entered the gate of the cloud seat, Ye Zhiqiu saw more than thirty people gathered at the door.
"Xiaolong, you and Xia He will go down and have a look first." Ge Hu, who was sitting in the passenger seat, spoke.
Suddenly, a car in front of him drove out first, and then stopped, and there was a doorman who was responsible for parking.
"It's fine." Lightly two words, so that Ge Hu and Zi Yuxun both knew it in their hearts, Ye Zhiqiu also nodded after hearing it, and then the car drove towards the door of the cloud seat.
"How dare this kind of car park here without a sign?" Someone scoffed.
Which one of the people who come to Yunzuo is not a rich man, which one does not have at least a net worth of more than 100 million assets, and many billions of dollars are also ordinary, so almost all the people who come here drive tens of millions of luxury cars, even if they are not global limited editions, they must be top-level noble and luxurious cars, which will be like the ordinary car in front of them.
"This is a custom-made car, and you can't get it without 50 million." There were still people in the crowd who knew the goods, and suddenly said such a sentence, and the person who spoke before suddenly turned red and squeezed into the crowd.
is the so-called big coincidence, spending 50 million to customize a car with an ordinary appearance and no logo features, this is not Ye Zhiqiu's idea, but the Ye family is worried about Ye Zhiqiu's safety, and they take it upon themselves to help him customize, although it seems ordinary, but in fact it is amazingly defensive.
At this time, many people were curious about the people in the car, and they didn't know who this person would be, and he would take 50 million to customize such an ordinary car.
"Who could he be?" Everyone speculated.
The car door opened, Zi Yuxun and Ge Hu stepped out of the car, the two of them had strong figures and strong physiques that suddenly made the eyes of many women light up, plus the four strong bodyguards in black suits who got out of the car before, it was even more extraordinary to support this person's identity.
As the car door was opened by Ziyuxun, one foot stretched out, and then the whole person appeared in front of everyone.
Suddenly, everyone was stunned.
(To be continued)
