I have to say that the 10 million US dollars smashed down is absolutely loud. www.biquge.info The whole of America, no, the whole of North America was alarmed. No one would have imagined that this Asian film tycoon would be so bold as to treat Hollywood as his own world, and dare to spend so much money to promote his new play.

As a result, in just one month, the name of the play "Tomb Robbery Notes" has become a name that appears quite frequently in the mouths of Americans, especially those young people who like to hunt for curiosities, and this pure Chinese production, which is known as subversive of tradition, has raised the audience's expectations to the peak.

The United States is different from China in that it has a very complete, almost cumbersome mass evaluation system and public opinion system in the United States, even if there are some parts of the audience appreciation level is not high. will also get very professional advice; Therefore, any film entering the publicity period will enter the perspective of consumers in a very orderly manner, and there will never be a large number of random accusations that have nothing to do with the movie like in China. For example, the part of an actress's bare breasts is called an insult to Chinese women.

It is precisely because of this situation that the operating policies of an American film in the early, middle, and late stages are very clear, and the so-called estimated box office is also very accurate, because the word-of-mouth information they get from the market is relatively real. From this point of view, the simple and straightforward roots of Americans seem to be a good thing. At least there will not be a strange thing that the more people scold, the more ugly the scolding, and the higher the box office.

……

It was under such delicate circumstances that the Chinese blockbuster "Notes on Tomb Robbery" officially landed in the North American film market and was tested by the audience here.

As the director and investor of this play, Duan Zihao and Peter Jackson and others were sold at the ticket office of the movie theater early in the morning, and he wanted to see the ticket sales of his play with his own eyes, rather than sitting in the office and listening to a one-sided report.

At this moment, Duan Zihao was standing more than a dozen yards away, looking at the window of the gorgeous electronic box office in the theater worriedly, that kind of mood. It's like a father waiting outside the delivery room hoping to hear the first cry of his son or daughter.

He clearly knows in his heart that the success or failure of this movie will be an important turning point in his life with Actor Entertainment and Hong Kong films. If he fails, although he can start all over again, his plans to break into Hollywood will be all stranded, and he will not even be able to enter this market again for the rest of his life; However, if it wins, it will not only clear up the discrimination and humiliation suffered by Chinese filmmakers in the international market over the years, but also make the history of Chinese films in the future remember, which is an unprecedented battle of shame!

There have been several opportunities for Hong Kong films to break into Hollywood. Bruce Lee's era was the best, but unfortunately he died young, and with his departure, the glory of Chinese movies was no longer there, and then Jackie Chan and Xu Guanjie, but they were all unaccustomed to the soil and returned home.

Especially Jackie Chan, when he was filming "The Heavenly General" in his previous life, he once said. When he first arrived in Hollywood, he couldn't communicate with people smoothly because he didn't know English, and he ran into walls everywhere; And because I went there as a kung fu actor. Therefore, he is often asked to perform fists and kicks in public, acting like a clown.

Talking about one of the least respected experiences, Jackie Chan recalled that he was arranged to be a guest on a show at that time. After arriving at the scene, he found that all the onlookers were black men, and although he knew that something was wrong, he could not refuse to play.

The host first asked him to perform kung fu. Then he asked the onlookers if anyone wanted to ask Jackie Chan for advice. Jackie Chan said: "I was really angry at the time, there were so many big men, as long as one of them wanted to be famous, he would do his best to bring me down." At that time, there was really a sturdy black man on stage to compete, but fortunately, the man was not fast, and he was thrown down by Jackie Chan, and the audience immediately applauded. Afterwards, Jackie Chan returned to the car and couldn't help but get angry at the agent: "Next time, you must ask what to do, this time it's just luck, it's too dangerous." ”

After that incident, Jackie Chan said to himself that he must fight for his anger, and after that, he never took the initiative to find Hollywood, and now Hollywood took the initiative to invite him: "It was they who flew from the United States to visit me, and it was Hollywood that wanted me, not Hollywood." ”

Yes, now Duan Zihao also has to do this, it is Hollywood that needs us, not that we need Hollywood!

"Tomb Robbery Notes", you can fight for it!

……

Two o'clock in the afternoon.

The electronic screen on the ticket window finally showed the English name of "Notes on Tomb Robbery". It means that the movie is now open for bookings.

It didn't take long for the first person to book a ticket to arrive. It was a handsome white young man who looked a little Irish, and he came by jumping on the rock drum on the side of the block, and then smiled at the black aunt in the window, "Hey, beautiful lady." Is there anything interesting to introduce to me? Don't let me watch those popcorn movies anymore, I don't want to waste another afternoon or evening. ”

The lovely fat lady seemed to like the young lad very much, and said with a smile on her face, "Oh, baby, I bet you haven't tried this." A Chinese Grave Robbery Story...... Oh my God, that's even more thrilling than Raiders of the Lost Ark...... My God! It's so mysterious, dare I say it's awesome! ”

"It's the recently promoted "Tomb Robbery Notes"! Hehe, I'm actually very interested in this kind of Chinese tomb robbery story, I heard that there are very scary vampires in it, oh no, they are called zombies...... So get me a ticket, okay? ”

"Hehe, of course, I hope you have a nice afternoon, my child." The black aunt said, handing over a ticket from the ticket gate.

"Haha, yes!" More than ten meters away from the ticket gate of the theater, Duan Zihao and Peter Jackson cheered happily, and the two hugged each other excitedly.

"Congratulations, dear Duan, our movie has finally sold its first ticket! Yes, that would be a good sign, wouldn't it? Peter Jackson said with a fluttering eyebrow.

"Hehe, borrow your good words, dear Peter, but this is just the beginning, isn't it, we have to see what happens next, God, the movies released this time are very strong, I hope our new drama can get better and better." Duan Zihao took out a cigarette and handed it to Peter, and the two continued to observe the ticket sales while smoking leisurely.

……

As if in response to Peter Jackson's words, this is a good sign.

For more than two hours, Lu Lu read that some people came to buy tickets, some people bought other tickets, and there were more than a dozen people who came to order "Notes on Tomb Robbery".

These dozen or so people seem to be relatively simple, and all of them are young Americans between the ages of 15 and 24. It's mostly male.

Duan Zihao watched it for a while, and gradually got tired. Of course, as a director and investor, he can't wait for a long queue at the window or a grand occasion when the theater opens a window alone for "Tomb Robbery Notes"!

Duan Zihao yawned and said, "It's been long enough, let's go back!" ”

……

Within three days, "Tomb Raider Notes" grossed about $1.5 million in North America, which is only mediocre in the United States, but it is already gratifying for a company that has landed in the American market for the first time.

Duan Zihao touched his chin. Slightly disappointed. You must know that he spent $10 million on advertising alone, and according to this situation, he is under pressure to recover his costs, let alone make American money out of his pocket.

But all this is temporary, I said before that in the United States, whether a drama can become popular depends not only on publicity, but also on word of mouth.

In particular, word of mouth is very important.

Now, the word-of-mouth of "Tomb Robbery Notes" has come out.

Let's talk about the special effects of this drama first. It is very strong, directly linked to Hollywood's contemporary special effects, which makes many Americans who like thrilling visual enjoyment, especially young Americans, admire it.

Secondly. As the theme of this play, the theme of Chinese tomb robbery is also surprising and mysterious in the United States. Mystery is one of the oldest senses of human existence. Therefore, the theme of this play has also made many young Americans feel the sincerity of this play.

Finally, as the starring Duan Zihao, Hong Jinbao. and Leung Jiahui and Wang Zuxian and others, there is nothing to say about their acting skills. Basically everyone played their best, which made the storyline of the whole show thrilling. The characters are lively and lively.

To sum up the above three points, no matter how picky the American audience is, they have to admit that this is a very good film.

Of course, these good reputations alone were not enough to form a driving force for American audiences to watch the play, and when "Notes on Tomb Robbery" was released, cultural relics such as terracotta warriors and horses from Chinese mainland began to be exhibited in the United States.

This mode of activity was originally a kind of cultural exchange between countries, but it coincided with the release of "Notes on Tomb Robbery", so the collision of the two had a very wonderful chemical effect.

American audiences have become more interested in this drama and more enthusiastic. The love for Chinese archaeological culture is directly reflected in the box office of this play.

In just one week, "Tomb Robbery Notes" received 25 million in North America. That's not all, many American theaters took the initiative to expand the scale of screenings, making "Notes on Tomb Robbery" from hundreds of theaters to 300, 500, 800 and 1,200 theaters step by step!

For a Chinese-language film to occupy such a huge North American market, it can be said that Duan Zihao and his actor entertainment have created an amazing miracle.

In the blink of an eye, two months have passed.

By September, the play "Notes on Tomb Robbery" had been in theaters in the United States for three full months.

According to the current situation, the entire box office revenue is as high as 123 million US dollars, creating the history of Chinese films at the box office in North America, and also breaking the myth that Chinese films cannot enter the North American market, and telling everyone in the world that Chinese films can not only enter Hollywood, but also obtain hundreds of millions of box office.

It can be said that this terrifying data has made the world realize the actor entertainment, Duan Zihao, and these Chinese filmmakers who have been working hard.

As the most authoritative magazine in the United States, I only look at the "Time" magazine that publishes heads of state and world superstars, so I specially made an interview with Duan Zihao, and the cover is Duan Zihao's portrait, and the headline is --- Chinese movie tycoon, creating a new era of Chinese films.

This interview can be said to describe in great detail the formation of Duan Zihao and "Tomb Robbery Notes" from Duan Zihao's point of view, as well as the growth of his entertainment empire.

In the words of journalist Simon: "This is a more legendary figure than Bill Gates, a young man who uses his unique cinematic approach to show his mysterious life as a tycoon." ”

The article was reprinted by the British newspaper The Times, the French French newspaper Libre Times, and numerous media outlets in Italy and Germany, and it also made Duan Zihao an international celebrity in an instant, and his reputation was comparable to that of an international superstar.

When Duan Zihao saw the reports in these newspapers and magazines, he just smiled, but immediately his smile condensed. Because he saw the eye-catching time in the newspapers--- September 15th.

If you remember correctly, September 22 was the day when the United States, Japan, the Federal Republic of Germany and other countries signed the Plaza Accord.

Seven days, there are still seven days, Duan Zihao couldn't help but be covered in cold sweat, he tried to exhale a few breaths, control his mind, and keep his somewhat swaying body from falling.

He put his hands on the table, staring at the newspaper with his eyes, and there were only four words in his heart at the moment: It's finally here!

So Duan Zihao did not hesitate to make a phone call to Duan Wenwu, who was in charge of the actor fund in North America, on the phone. He only said one word: "The action begins!" ”

……

Duan Wenwu is definitely a financial genius with a lot of business acumen, which has been evident since he was a school in Hong Kong.

Now in the United States, with the support of his brother Duan Zihao's funds, he is even more like a fish in water, in charge of hundreds of millions of dollars in fund investment.

Duan Zihao trusts him as a small guy, and Duan Wenwu lives up to expectations and dominates the financial market, but few people know that he is the younger brother of the big star Duan Zihao. Few people know that the fund he is in charge of is actually manipulated by Duan Zihao behind the scenes.

Now, the two dragon brothers and tiger brothers have finally exerted their strength, and they are bound to set off a bloody storm in the world financial market.

……

Time to pull back a little bit.

Just when the whole world was raving the Chinese superstar, the time quickly arrived a week later.

Duan Zihao's popularity was immediately recognized by the United States. Japan, as well as Germany and other countries signed the Plaza Accord.

This event, like an unprecedented earthquake, was signed after the Plaza Agreement. The above-mentioned five countries began to jointly intervene in the foreign exchange market, selling a large number of dollars in the international foreign exchange market, and then forming a selling frenzy among market investors. As a result, the US dollar continues to depreciate sharply.

In September 1985, the U.S. dollar fluctuated around 250 yen per dollar, and in less than three months after the agreement was signed, the U.S. dollar quickly fell to around 200 yen per dollar, a 20% decline. Hinted at the hawkish attitude of the US government, the dollar continued to fall sharply against the yen, falling as low as 120 yen per dollar.

Prior to this, Duan Zihao had exchanged a lot of dollars in Japan with the help of the depreciation of the yen, and now that the yen has begun to appreciate, it is time to make a move.

No one could have imagined that the currency futures war kicked off from Duan Zihao, a filmmaker, but he has been preparing for a year to fight this battle, which has embarrassed all financial talents.

Even the world's most bullish tiger fund, Quantum Fund, is a little helpless for this sudden dark horse.

At this moment, Duan Zihao's fund organization, under the leadership of Duan Wenwu, is like a tiger devouring currencies everywhere, roaring in the world's financial market.

In just three months, Duan Wenwu and the IMF under his leadership relied on the "Plaza Accord" incident to change hands and earn nearly 10 billion profits in the entire world financial market!

When everyone was dumbfounded and full of curiosity about this super strong, gluttonous and ferocious fund that suddenly appeared, the news came out--- Duan Wenwu, the leader of this fund organization, was only a young man in his early twenties!

Immediately afterwards, this Duan Wenwu actually had a big brother, and his name turned out to be ...... Duan Zihao!

Then, the leader behind this looting of the financial market turned out to be Duan Zihao!

Duan Zihao?

From a movie tycoon to a world-class billionaire!

……

A series of events that shocked everyone.

No one would have imagined that the young talent, who was previously known as a Chinese film tycoon, was still the behind-the-scenes boss of this mysterious fund organization, that is to say, this young man is not only a movie talent, but also a financial predator?!

The whole of America is about to explode.

exploded because of the existence of Duan Zihao.

The American media reporters, who were no longer interested in Duan Zihao, no, it should be said that media reporters all over the world turned their guns again and rushed towards Duan Zihao.

No way, this Chinese guy is too powerful! It's better than a fucking American president. Wave after wave of big events, they and the media are about to go crazy.

So all the media reporters surrounded Duan Zihao's residence in the United States again, but unfortunately this time they pounced, because Duan Zihao had already flown back to Hong Kong.

There was no way, these media reporters had no choice but to retreat to the next best thing, seize Duan Zihao's little guy Duan Wenwu, and carry out a containment interview......

In this regard, poor Duan Wenwu could only sigh that someone was not righteous, and he didn't say a word when he sneaked away!

……

It's been almost half a year since he left Hong Kong in the blink of an eye, and Duan Zihao feels a little unfamiliar here.

But when he got off the plane, he saw countless familiar faces waiting for him.

There are Zhao Yazhi, Zhong Chuhong, Weng Meiling, as well as Liu Dehua, Zhou Xingchi, Tony Leung, and Zhou Yunfa and so on.

Almost all the people who have interacted with Duan Zihao came, even the big man Zou Wenhuai of Golden Harvest, Lei Juekun of Xinyi City, etc.

The whole scene was joyful, with gongs and drums.

Everyone was beaming and welcomed his return like a hero in triumph.

Hero!

Yes, that's the word.

A hero who planted the banner of Chinese movies on the land of America!! (To be continued.) )
