"Huaxia movies are extremely popular in North America!!"

""The Grim Reaper is Coming" swept North America 470 million yuan in the second week!!"

""The Grim Reaper is Coming" has become the first Chinese film to successfully conquer the North American film market on a large scale!!"

After the news was transmitted back to China, it immediately caused a nationwide shock!!

From the production company to the media, from the Radio and Television Bureau to the theater chain, from the screenwriter to the director to the actors, everyone couldn't believe it when they heard the news, and thought it was fake!

Shock ensues! Surprise!

For Hollywood, they can be said to have a lot of resentment, Hollywood has always been the giant of world cinema, and every time Chinese movies hit Hollywood, they always have a bloody head.

Now that there's finally a movie rushing in, and the results are not small, it's natural to make a big splash: "Hollywood is not a mountain that is difficult to cross, it's just that it didn't find the right way." ”

"Damn, plus the first week, wouldn't it be two weeks to get 750 million yuan!! It's so hanging!! ”

"In China, more than a month has passed, and I have only gotten less than 270 million, and I can't even recover the cost, so how can I go to the United States and become a ?!!"

"The domestic market is still not as good as the North American market!"

Countless experts, professors, screenwriters, and directors have poured into the cinema. Watch "The Grim Reaper is Coming", want to peel it off fiercely, and then study it desperately.

And fans were also attracted by this explosive news and began to flock to the cinema to watch "The Grim Reaper". The box office in North America is so high, there is no reason why Huaxia is low?

After a period of downturn, "The Grim Reaper is Coming" once again believed that Brother Shang had to be resurrected, and major theaters welcomed a lot of fans every day.

In the next few days, "The Grim Reaper" can get more than 10 million box office revenue almost every day.

……

And another sister story, "Death Comes", began to officially land in the North American film market on January 15.

When they saw that the number of screens of "The Grim Reaper is Coming" had grown to 2,500 and earned nearly 700 million yuan at the box office. That envy, jealousy, hatred!!

Meantime. They also have endless expectations: ""The Grim Reaper is Coming" can achieve such good results, and "The Grim Reaper" should also be able to. ”

The chairman of Hanhai Group and Zhao Baogang almost didn't open the wine to celebrate in advance.

But soon, their dreams were ruthlessly shattered!

That night, on IMDB, countless fans who walked into the cinema to watch "Death Comes" scolded the movie angrily: "What a messy movie! It's just incomprehensible! ”

"Are the heads of the theater all? Such a garbage movie is also put in! ”

When they saw the first-day box office data of "Death Come" the next day. Immediately discouraged.

Only $500,000 in income from the pit daddy!!

Compare the box office revenue of "The Grim Reaper" with a whopping 6 million days......

I can't bear to look at it!!

Far away in China. After hearing the news, the chairman of Hanhai Group, who had strong expectations. Vomited three liters of blood in an instant, fell to the ground, and was rushed to the hospital.

A week later. "Death Comes" suffered an extreme box office fiasco, with a total box office of $1.5 million, which is less than 5% of the $31 million box office of "Death is Coming".

And the theater chain in North America has long been impatient, and quickly removed this cheating movie, so as to make room for other movies to be released. In the words of a theater president: "Even if you broadcast an old movie, the attendance rate is higher than it!" ”

When the chairman of Hanhai Group heard the news again, he fainted again and was admitted to the hospital!

And the first thing he said when he woke up was: "Let Zhao Baogang get out of here!" ”

"$1.5 million...... Even if I give it all to me, it won't be enough to pay for publicity! ”

It is estimated that he will never follow the demon Wang Shang to plagiarize in the future......

At this time, Zhao Baogang had already left with an automatic roll......

The battle between "Death is Coming" and "Death is Coming" is finally over at this moment.

In the end, it was Wang Shang, the original creator, who had the last laugh and defeated "Death Coming" with an absolute advantage.

At the same time, this incident also tells others that not all ideas can be plagiarized casually, otherwise it is easy to be pitted.

On the Macau casino, buying "Death Comes" to win is naturally a mourning, and buying "Death is Coming" to win is rejoicing, looking at Wang Shang is even more pleasing to the eye, shouting that the king is mighty!

……

In the fourth week of its release, the popularity of "The Grim Reaper is Coming" began to fade gradually, and the theater chain stopped the first round of playing, started the second round of screening, and put the copy in the second-tier theater with poor equipment.

However, after three weeks of hot theaters, "The Grim Reaper is Coming" has now earned a total box office of $114 million.

And after the second round of releases, there will be a third round of releases, and it is expected to reach a height of $200 million in the end.

Just when Wang Shang felt that the matter was almost over and wanted to return to China, Bob, a producer of Paramount, came to the door and discussed with Wang Shang about the plan to bring "Death is Coming" to foreign markets.

The taste in the European market is very similar to that in North America, so "The Grim Reaper" should get good results in Europe.

In the end, Wang Shang asked Paramount to be responsible for the organization of the release in Europe and other regions, while Tianwang Studio was responsible for Southeast Asia.

After discussing with Bob, Xie Tingfeng walked in with a happy face.

When Wang Shang saw him like that, he smiled and said, "Why are you laughing so obscenely?" What's the joy? ”

"Lewd?" Xie Tingfeng was suddenly distressed, like gray hay in winter, and said weakly: "......." Wang Dong, I'm not called obscene, I'm called handsome. ”

"Well, you know, lewd handsome?" Wang Shang said calmly. There is no way, although he has a good figure, he still needs to improve in terms of attractive appearance, so he is always jealous of those who are more handsome than him.

"Tell me, what's the matter? Makes you happy like this? ”

Speaking of this, Xie Tingfeng was excited. Eyebrows fluttered, "Paramount just called me to find me." said that Director Rob Leiner's assistant wanted to invite me to shoot a film, called "Forgot Who You Is", to play the second male lead. ”

"Forgot Who You Are?" Wang Shang has not heard of it, but Rob Lena director Wang Shang does. is one of the more famous directors in Hollywood. He has directed many blockbuster films. The fame is only a little worse than Cameron's famous directors.

Rob Leiner's film style is more literary, using delicate emotions to infiltrate every stage of life, friendship, love, thriller, and the ultimate thinking about life. It is full of literary atmosphere, but what is surprising is that these films do not lose their commercial value in the slightest.

Xie Tingfeng was able to receive their invitation, which shows that Xie Tingfeng, the protagonist of "Death is Coming", has a certain degree of popularity in North America. As for the other rookie actors, the light was covered by Xie Tingfeng, and their reputation was not great.

And Wang Shang himself is still unknown, worse than a few rookie actors, and when he goes outside, no one can recognize him, because those fans only pay attention to the actors, and they don't pay attention to who the director is.

"Did the other party say how much the investment in this "Forgot Who You Is"?"

Xie Tingfeng was also very concerned about this, so he had asked a long time ago, so he could quickly answer at this time: "The other party said that the budget of the movie is 50 million US dollars, and the salary given to me is 600,000 US dollars, which is equivalent to 5.4 million yuan, which is a relatively high price for me." ”

Wang Shang thought about it, the investment of 50 million US dollars is not big, but it is not small, and the salary is high enough, for Xie Tingfeng, this is an opportunity.

In the end, Wang Shang replied: "I think you can try it." ”

"I think so too, now it's hard to open up the situation in the United States, and I have a certain popularity, if I go back to China this time to develop, it will be difficult to come back next time." Xie Tingfeng said. Thinking about it, he has already thought about it, and this time he should be looking for Wang Shang to ask Wang Shang's opinion and make a reference.

"This idea is good, now there are only Cheng Long, Li Nianjie, Zhang Ziyi, and others who are a little bit worse in Hollywood, and there is no one who stays in Hollywood to develop, if you stay, if you can break into the sky here, it must also be able to change the North American audience's concept of the Chinese film industry. In the future, when I accumulate enough capital and technology, I will come here too. ”

Xie Tingfeng was deeply touched, thinking of the words he heard in the cinema such as 'there are no good movies in China', and began to feel that the pressure on his body seemed to be a little heavier.

Soon Xie Tingfeng's agency sent someone to the United States to formally negotiate a contract with the producer of Paramount's "Forgot Who You Is".

After the news was transmitted back to China, it caused waves in the entertainment industry.

"Xie Tingfeng successfully broke into Hollywood with his wonderful performance of "The Grim Reaper"!!"

"Wang Shang successfully made Xie Tingfeng, who originally retired, popular!"

"Huaxia finally has a new generation of filmmakers to hit Hollywood!"

"Xie Tingfeng's worth has skyrocketed! The influence is gradually expanding, and the star rating needs to be re-evaluated! ”

They have no reason to be unhappy, and the few actors in China who have made it to Hollywood and gained fame are now gradually unable to keep up with the commercial, fast-paced pace of Hollywood.

Now that a young man at the age of twenty-four has finally stormed Hollywood, how can they not be excited.

Although you fight to the death in normal times, all people have a unified understanding of the impact on Hollywood. So now everyone is looking forward to Xie Tingfeng being able to break into the sky in Hollywood.

Except for Xie Tingfeng, the other actors did not receive the filming invitation from the film company, which shows that their popularity is not high enough.

After Wang Shang packed up everything, he began to officially leave the United States.

On the day of departure, a senior executive of Paramount personally sent Wang Shang and them on the plane, presumably still thinking about the movie copyright of "Transformers". "Transformers" was filmed by Paramount Pictures in the previous time and space, and Wang Shang couldn't help but sigh: although the butterfly effect has changed a lot, there are many details that have not changed much......
