When the policeman came to talk about sex, he stopped in front of the reporter and said: "If only it wasn't duty time, I can talk to you about my fight against the Japanese army in World War II." Yes, the Japanese army is the hateful Japanese in "The Sinking of the Haiyan", they are so hateful, as said in "The Sinking of the Haiyan", they even sank the cruise ship "Haiyan" carrying civilians. Without them, the Petrel would not have sunk and our Jack would not have drowned. I used to serve in the Marine Corps, but unfortunately when I went to the front, I surrendered. It's a shame that I want to send that garbage to the bottom of the sea......"

In the end, the reporter couldn't stand it anymore and left after a few perfunctory words.

When CBS TV broadcast the news about the hot screening of the movie "The Sinking of the Haiyan", other TV stations were not available. In the ABC (American Broadcasting Corporation) studio hall, several guests are talking about "The Sinking of the Petrel".

A well-known film critic said disapprerovingly: "There are too many factors of chance that make this film successful. First, because we are full of curiosity about China, we have never seen a Chinese movie before, at least not a movie that has been promoted on such a large scale. Because the IIC company buys the Maple Leaf Film Distribution Company without counting and advertises without counting, there are many viewers who come to watch. It's not so much the success of the film as the advertising success of the IIC company.

Second, this movie is opportunistic, in order to cater to the psychology of our American audience, they arranged the male protagonist to be us Americans, a lively, cheerful, and sunny American boy, plus the plot of our beauties to eliminate the Japanese soldiers, which made us Americans very proud when watching the film, and invisibly narrowed the distance between the movie and our American audience. You should see. After the test screening of this film, the Warsaw Pact countries, led by the Soviet Union, barely discussed the release of the film, and there were no TV stations commenting on the film. ”

The critic continued to sourly say: "Third, 'The Sinking of the Petrel' draws on a lot of the success of our American blockbusters. It can be said that without these success factors, the film would have wanted to achieve such a good ......"

A person next to him, who was also a film critic, couldn't help but interrupt the crooked film critic's words. said: "These reasons of yours are all improvised and completely untenable. Their movies are good, this is the most rooted, without good movies, there are many advertisements. No matter how curious people are, they won't rush to pay to see it. Now instead of forcing the reasons here, let's learn something from this film, so that we can make movies that everyone will enjoy when we make movies in the future. It only makes sense for our American films to once again be the object of admiration of the whole world. ”

Regardless of the reaction, "The Sinking of the Petrel" continued to write its glory, and in the days that followed, its average attendance remained above 90 percent. The box office is maintained at more than $20 million every day!

What makes other directors and distributors jealous and depressed is that as the total box office of "The Sinking of the Petrel" continues to soar like a rocket, the box office value of their films is getting less and less, not to mention ordinary films. Even blockbusters have not increased by more than half. Among them, the box office of "First Blood" is only more than 2 million per day, that is, the box office in a week will be less than 15 million US dollars, which is less than half of the previous weekly box office value.

Film critics, who have been touting "First Blood" in the media some time ago, are now speechless and refuse to comment.

This is true of "First Blood". The situation is even worse for other films. Many films with too little income and can't be sustained simply don't let go. The screening program was cancelled.

Large publishers and powerful theaters are unsustainable, and those small publishers and small theaters are cornered by "The Sinking of the Petrel".

Now the top executives of Universal Pictures and 20th Century Fox are a little laughing and crying, because they are still glad that they signed the same deal with Maple Leaf Film Distribution that once infuriated them.

Now the 1,000 movie theaters under their control are only profitable because of the film "The Sinking of the Haiyan", and the efficiency of other theaters that do not screen this movie is much worse, and most of them are even difficult to guarantee, let alone make a profit.

Another embarrassing benefit of showing the film is that the screening of "The Sinking of the Petrel" will increase the company's popularity: that is, in the minds of the audience, the people who can now show the movie "The Sinking of the Petrel" are good theaters. These theaters are worth visiting. Those theaters that can't show this film mean that these bosses are fine, and they can't even get the right to show it.

This situation makes these bosses feel bitter, helping Maple Leaf Film Distribution Company to screen movies and help them work, but they are famous, but it is equivalent to advertising for themselves, and their fame is greater than not screening, and those who insist on showing their own films, or continue to screen other films according to the previous contract, are despised by many audiences.

The world is a little crazy.

Because of this, many distributors and theaters have now gone to Maple Leaf Film Distribution Company to request the screening of "The Sinking of the Haiyan", and they also offered to share 3:7 and 2:8, that is, those people would rather only have 30% or 20% of their profits.

Some small companies simply offer to screen for them for nothing, not a penny of profit, just a little electricity and labor costs, and not a penny of profit, just let them show this movie, so that the audience can remember that there is such a theater.

Other distributors and theaters did this, and Universal Pictures and 20th Century Fox Film Company naturally did not dare to be reserved anymore, and they immediately sent representatives to negotiate with Maple Leaf Film Distribution Company, asking Maple Leaf Film Distribution Company to allow them to screen "The Sinking of the Petrel" in all their theaters, and its split was 3:7.

Maple Leaf Film Distribution Company did not take advantage of the fire, and agreed to all theaters under Universal Pictures and 20th Century Fox Film Company to screen the film, and its split was fixed at 4:6, but the two sides signed a long-term cooperation agreement, including new film sharing, actor loans, theater sharing discounts, etc.

This agreement was prepared by Guo Zhuocheng for the Maple Leaf management a long time ago, and he would take it out when the other party came to the door. In the current situation, these two famous companies are not disgusted by this agreement, nor do they feel that they have suffered much, and the only thing that is unhappy is that they have helped each other to truly gain a foothold in the United States and reach the point of equality.

However, even without the help of their two companies, Maple Leaf Film Distribution Company can still stand firm and be able to mix well, and they are just signing an agreement now to be a favor. Anyway, there are so many competitors in the United States, it doesn't matter if there is more or less, once they have another blockbuster in the future, they will make a lot of money.

In their opinion, signing this agreement is irrelevant, and they can make a lot of money at this stage, which can greatly suppress other opponents who have not obtained the screening rights of "The Sinking of the Petrel", and they can also make a little profit, although the sharing ratio is very bad, but it is better than nothing.

With the joining of Universal Pictures and 20th Century Fox Films, its theaters have expanded many times, and a bankrupt company that was forced to buy has suddenly rejuvenated and become a company that can sit on an equal footing with Universal Pictures, which is a rare thing compared to how much money it makes. It's equivalent to capturing box office value while adding a large company for no reason, which was never thought of before.

Moreover, with the signing of the strategic cooperation agreement this time, Maple Leaf Film Distribution Company can be said to have gained a firm foothold and can grab a piece of the pie in the American film market, and more importantly, it has opened a convenient door for Chinese films in the future. In the future, the use of theaters from Maple Leaf Film Distribution, together with the theaters provided by Universal Pictures and 20th Century Fox, will be enough for Chinese films to have an impact on the American film market.

This has greatly exceeded Guo's previous goal.

With the screening of "The Sinking of the Petrel" in more theaters under Universal Pictures and 20th Century Fox Films, the film can be said to be in full bloom in the United States and Canada.

After a slight decline, cinema attendance soon rose as a result of a large increase in the number of theaters screened, with an average daily attendance rate of 93.5 per cent. Because of the massive increase in theaters, the daily box office has naturally increased significantly, and now the daily box office has reached a staggering more than $48 million, which is only one step away from 50 million.

More than $40 million a day, more than $400 million in ten days, and $1.2 billion a month!

On the North American weekly box office charts, "The Sinking of the Petrel" is far ahead, and the second place "First Blood" is not even a fraction of it. This set of numbers surprised almost everyone, and when they looked at the rankings, they had to rub their eyes a few times to believe that their eyes were correct.

The daily progress of gold is not enough to describe the speed of gold absorption in "The Sinking of the Haiyan". Even Guo Zhuocheng, who had been prepared for a long time, was surprised: the global box office of "Titanic" in his previous life was 1.835 billion, although the cumulative box office value greatly exceeded 2 billion US dollars, but it was not as ferocious as "The Sinking of the Petrel", right? After this schedule, will its box office exceed the $2.3 billion of "Avatar" in the previous life?
