Chapter 1229: Scary Data
The Chinese pinyin "liang" representing Liang Liang resounded in North America, Europe, Asia, Oceania, Africa, and South America......
With the help of Guo Zhuocheng, a reborn and shameless plagiarist, she continued to release a series of new songs at a frequency of six new songs a year, which surprised and loved the world until Guo Zhuocheng reached the peak of China's power.
This is a good excuse, as the biggest brother in Chinese politics, he naturally does not want his wife to show up again, he must let her teach her husband and children in the back, and he must be a virtuous helper, which is the practice of the world's politicians.
This excuse also relieved Guo Shucheng of countless pressures, because he felt that he was becoming more and more unable to launch new songs, and the good songs that should be plagiarized were all plagiarized by him, and if he released new songs, he could really only do his own original, which would cost him an old life without many music cells.
Although Liang Liang can also compose some good songs herself, Guo Zhuocheng doesn't want her to take risks, worrying that if the songs she writes herself are better than the original ones sung - they are actually plagiarized from her previous life and have passed the test of that era - the quality is far from good, it will make people doubtful, and her image in the minds of fans will be greatly reduced, so it is better to maintain this good image all the time.
It is also because Liang Liang's songs have touched the hearts of fans from all over the world, coupled with the sharp rise in China's national strength, coupled with China's advanced science and technology and beautiful scenery, it has also led tens of millions of foreigners to travel to China, and hundreds of millions of foreigners have begun to study like crazy, they are all proud of being able to speak Chinese, write Chinese characters, and sing Chinese songs, just like countless people in China in their previous lives who were crazy about learning English and blindly worshiping English.
This qiē has contributed to the dramatic increase in China's influence, adding more points to China's image as a great power.
Of course, that's an afterthought.
Now "The Sinking of the Petrel" is still slowly entering the hearts of Americans. It is still slowly taking root and sprouting, and it is not yet time to grow into a big tree.
The 26th was Monday, and the media reported that "The Sinking of the Petrel", which was only released on Thursday last week, ranked fourth in the weekly box office list in North America, rushing to the top 10 in one fell swoop, with a weekly box office of 12 million US dollars.
You know, this is only four days of results, and it only started to be released on Thursday.
At the top of the list is "First Blood", which has been at the top of the list for a long time, with a weekly box office of $30.31 million.
Except for those who are jealous and disregard for the facts, everyone else thinks that "The Sinking of the Petrel" will soon surpass "First Blood", because "First Blood" has already shown fatigue. Its weekly box office is past its peak and is declining.
Even if "The Sinking of the Petrel" does not steal the audience of "First Blood", it will slowly withdraw from the list.
In the new week, the 320 theaters under the Maple Leaf Film Distribution Company are still showing continuously, not only Universal Pictures nor 20th Century Fox Film Company have not given their theaters to "The Sinking of the Petrel", and even other distributors and theater theaters have not participated in the screening.
Universal Pictures and 20th Century Fox Films are because their agreed deadline with Maple Leaf Pictures Distribution has not yet arrived. It was agreed that a week after the screening, and now it will only be shown for four days, but it will be shown on Thursday three days later at the latest.
Other distribution companies and theaters that requested the screening of "The Sinking of the Petrel" were politely rejected by the Maple Leaf Film Distribution Company, saying that they would consider it after New Year's Day.
Although these people who asked for the screening were denied, they were not angry, who called people's films so popular. People make their own money first, and then sell it to other companies to screen it after the golden period, and others have nothing to say.
In fact, Maple Leaf Film Distribution Company refused to be screened by other distributors and theaters. Not just for money, not because they are worried that other theaters will show it and that their income will be divided by those theaters, but because they want to make a name for themselves for Maple Leaf Film Distribution. Advertising for Maple Leaf Film Distribution Company.
Now "The Sinking of the Petrel" is so popular, and only Maple Leaf's theaters are screened. invisibly elevated the image of Maple Leaf, and invisibly let its fame slowly condense among the audience. This is much more effective than advertising alone.
Watching "The Sinking of the Petrel" rise to a level that only a handful of blockbusters can achieve, Universal Pictures and 20th Century Fox's top brass are now suffering from gains. The shrewd ones now know that their side has miscalculated, and it is ironclad to come up with 300 theaters, and it is likely that they will each take out 1,000 theaters, and their share has become 6:4 that makes their hearts ache.
The problem is that this 6:4 is that they only take 40%, and the other 60% is given to the Maple Leaf Film Distribution Company, which is equivalent to being blindly busy, working for other Maple Leaf Film Distribution Company.
How embarrassing does this make a dignified international film and television company? How do those who are in the top position face their peers? Isn't this invisibly stepping on the image of your company?
This is not the most depressing, the most depressing thing is that now everyone knows the deposit of the agreement, and those audiences who can't buy tickets for "The Sinking of the Petrel", or the inconvenient audience who go to the theater of the Maple Leaf Film Distribution Company, are now angrily scolding the two companies, saying that they are fine, they can't even get a copy of "The Sinking of the Petrel", they can only watch others screen it, watch others make money, but they can only put some bad movies. It's really a shame for a large international company, this kind of company is not as good as going bankrupt, it is better to let the Maple Leaf Film Distribution Company buy it, and it will be much easier for the blockbuster you want to be optimistic about at that time.
Do you say that this is angry in the ears of these high-level people?
Sent someone to discuss the possibility of screening the film in advance with the Maple Leaf Film Distribution Company, and they politely said that it was still according to the agreement, and the agreement should be when it should be screened.
It was as if they were asking for it, which really made them feel like they wanted to vomit blood.
While the executives of Universal Pictures and 20th Century Fox were depressed, Paul, who had the financial backing of Guo Chengcheng, was now happy and stupid, and his business now reached several cities, employing hundreds of students who had been on vacation to help. They sell not only napkins, but also the plot synopsis of "The Sinking of the Petrel", the lyrics and songs of "My-Heart-will-Go-On", and the posters of the main actors of the film, as well as the introduction of the filming location - Qionghai Island, which of course has a lot of introduction to the customs and tourist attractions of Qionghai Island. These pamphlets were all arranged by Guo Zhuocheng to be printed in advance, not only printed in large quantities, but also printed very exquisitely, especially inserted into the actors' information or filming movie tidbits, which made people like it at a glance, and the audience, especially those who queued up to buy tickets, almost everyone had a copy.
Some liked it, but others were angry and said to the people who sold the pamphlets, Paul's hired men: "How can you take money when people are free of charge?" It's an advertisement, and you know that advertising shouldn't be paid for? Advertisements should be watched for free, do you understand? ”
It doesn't matter if you understand it or not, if you don't want to pay for it, it's just that some people buy it anyway.
However, Paul stopped contracting public telephones, but started a new business, which was to collect information about people who were willing to buy videotapes, records, and tapes. They promised that as long as the name and address of the person registered with them, the company would send the videotape of "The Sinking of the Petrel" and the record and cassette of the theme song to these people as soon as possible, and the price could be discounted by 10%.
Not only was the pamphlet business booming, but the registration business was so hot that nearly 3,000 people offered to buy videotapes, records or tapes on the first day of business. Despite the fact that this registration is not profitable now, Paul knows that this is the most profitable business, far more profitable than selling brochures and napkins.
Although many people began to be optimistic about the foreign film "The Sinking of the Haiyan", and although everyone labeled it a "dark horse", it left everyone stunned in the second week's table: My God, this dark horse is too dark, right? Is this really in the United States?
For the first three days of the week, there were six shows a day, with an average attendance rate of a staggering 97.7 percent and an average of more than $5.8 million a day.
On the fourth day, Universal Pictures and 20th Century Fox each screened in 1,000 theaters at the same time, and their attendance rate only dropped slightly, but it was still as high as 90.1 percent, and its daily box office reached a terrifying more than $20 million!
After a week, its weekly box office turned out to be more than 9,800 US dollars, only one step away from 100 million!
Naturally, it is firmly at the top of the weekly box office chart in North America! It has not gone down since it occupied this throne on Tuesday and is far ahead, with a growing gap to second place.
As soon as this number came out, all the people were not calm. This number is so unprecedented that even "First Blood" is difficult to match, or it is beyond the reach of the roots. "First Blood" had a weekly box office value of just over $60 million at its peak, and now it has a pitiful $28 million.
Yes, the weekly box office of "First Blood" is down nearly $3 million from last week, and the increase in the amount is smaller because many viewers have been robbed of "The Sinking of the Petrel".
The third, fourth, and fifteenth places on the charts all saw a significant drop in their weekly box office compared to last week.
The audience is gathering towards "The Sinking of the Petrel". People would rather watch "The Sinking of the Petrel" more than other movies.
As the saying goes, "it's easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it's hard to go from luxury to thrift", it's the same to watch movies and enjoy art.
