Chapter 557: The True Terminator (VIII)
His voice was not loud, but it was the only voice that could be heard in this silent hall at this moment.
"The works of the Qin Dynasty have not tasted defeat. This is a boutique image established in the hearts of players. The failure of Fast and Furious will have a great impact on Need for Speed, and even lead to a fiasco of Need for Speed. How could I not be nervous. ā
He breathed a sigh of relief, leaned back on the sofa, and said in a deep voice, "However, there is no point in being nervous. We're sure of the quality of Fast & Furious, and we're confident in Need for Speed games, and Terminator 2 has been beaten by us. Everything that needs to be done has been done. No matter how nervous it is, it won't help. ā
"It's not like we can't afford to lose the money. If we lose, we will lose ......" He closed his eyes and said softly: "It's time and brand......"
In the room, the dead silence continued to be restored, and after a long time, Michael said in a deep voice: "Wait, indeed, it doesn't help to be nervous, and you will know when the time comes......"
At the same time, Sony Columbia, also brightly lit, Masaaki Morita and Kotaro Kobayashi, staring at the night scene outside the window, silent.
The pressure in their hearts is heavier than the 3DO Alliance!
They don't know who the opponent is, this time the opponent is very well hidden, only the Qin Dynasty and Disney, but these two companies are just the tip of the iceberg.
If it weren't for a company of the same level as Sony, who would have nothing to do to provoke a world-class oligopoly?
Although the Qin Dynasty is crazy, it is by no means a fool, and it is impossible for a fool to reach the top of the industry within three years, let alone become a world-class large and medium-sized enterprise within three years.
So...... Even if they lose, they lose evenly. But Sony can't afford to lose!
The path of the game is temporarily cut off, and Ken Kutaragi leads the technician in public relations, and God knows how long. The CD-ROM project has been put on hold for the time being. Now if the video plan is also blocked......
They couldn't have imagined the board's impeachment book like snow!
Omission! Impotent! The corpse is on top of it! Cowardly, not distinguishing between right and wrong! Almost as soon as I think of the large, medium and small directors firing at the two of them like mad dogs.
"Terminator 2 will win...... It's sure to win! We still have 9 million daily box office! We're going to win! "Sheng Tian Fangming has lost his soul, and every minute is torment for him.
No one answered, and Kobayashi Kotaro next to him was like a dead man. His eyes looked out the window without blinking.
The sound ......of the second hand is so clear that it is like a walking guillotine, ready to be slammed down on them, or...... Their unknown adversaries.
"Kobayashi-kun...... You say, will we ......"
"Get out."
"Will we win...... What did you say? ā
"Shut up!" Kobayashi Kotaro's stomach full of ghost fire erupted, and he hammered down the window hard, if it wasn't for the bulletproof glass, I was afraid that it would be broken by him with one punch.
He turned his cold gaze, looked at the stunned Sheng Tian Fangming like a dead corpse, and spit out words without temperature: "Now you know that Terminator 2 was flanked by the front and back?" Now you know that you can make money if you don't have a good movie? Now do you know how deep our opponents are in their calculations? ā
"What did you do in the first place?!"
"Triumphantly seizing power! Triumphantly tell me that speed and passion are worthless! Triumphantly prepare to celebrate! ā
He took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart: "Wait...... If Sony's second road is still blocked this time, we will be impeached to death by the board of directors! ā
"Do you really think ...... The big and small directors are in trouble together, can Mr. Morita Saufu keep you?! ā
"From the day of listing, only the chairman can keep people! The person in the current position is Mr. Norio Ohga! ā
A low roar of anger echoed through the room, and Morita Fangming was completely stunned.
What the hell is going on here?
Why is this happening?
Why did you come and pick a ripe fruit yourself? What am I doing wrong? Isn't it just crushing a bed bug?
"You...... You're the president of the U.S. precinct......"
Kobayashi Kotaro was silent for a moment, looked at Morita Fangming, who had lost his soul, and suddenly sneered.
"If you say that again, I'll drag you to jump off the building with me. Morita-kun. ā
He took a deep breath and turned around: "Wait! The winner is still undecided! Even if Terminator 2 is blocked back and forth, it is entirely possible to draw with Fast and Furious......"
He lowered his voice: "Besides...... Now we're just trying to get there...... It's just a return to basics. It shouldn't be too hard......"
"As long as we can reach the return target of $300 million within three days, then ...... We have a new gimmick, and the Terminator has become popular for 2 months, which is not a difficult thing! ā
"Knock ......" At this moment, the door was pushed open, and Kotaro Kobayashi's first secretary walked in, panting with a document: "Arrived...... It's ......."
"Brush!" Before he could read it clearly, the document had been snatched by Kobayashi Kotaro who walked in front of him at some point.
He only glanced at it, and his whole face was like gold paper in an instant.
Inside, there was a deathly silence.
"Kobayashi-kun?" Sheng Tian Fangming felt his heart jump out of his chest, and asked in a trembling voice.
Kotaro Kobayashi didn't seem to hear it, but his hands trembled.
"Kobayashi-kun?" Morita Fangming's voice had already begun to tremble with his hands, and only two words flashed in his mind.
Finished...... Finished......
"See for yourself." Kotaro Kobayashi was like a machine, throwing the information on the table.
Sheng Tian Fangming immediately grabbed it and took a look, and in an instant, he fell down with a "plop".
Four and a half million!
Terminator 2, with an investment of 120 million and 300 million returns, now has a box office of 284.5 million.
There is still 15.5 million yuan to return to the capital.
Sony's road, the video plan, and the plan to break away from the Mitsui consortium are all above this 15.5 million!
What Sony expects from the Terminator 2 is ......
More than 50 million profits!
Now, the profit is not yet visible, even if the return is more than 10 million!
"Your Excellency, six million is actually not bad today...... I believe that it will be back soon......" The secretary saw the other party's face and couldn't help but hurriedly persuade.
"Fart." Kotaro Kobayashi sat on the sofa with a pale face: "Yesterday...... Nine million, ...... today Four and a half million ...... Tomorrow! The day after tomorrow! ā
No one dared to speak, the first month met the same level of the Silence Lambs, and in the second month, they met the second class, but full of freshness and excitement!
Movies are not made well to make money, this sentence, Sheng Tian Fangming is deeply imprinted in his mind at the moment.
"Get out."
The secretary left, and the atmosphere in the room was extremely depressing, and after I don't know how long, I heard Sheng Tian Fangming's bleak voice: "That...... Now what? ā
"What should I do?" Kobayashi Kotaro smiled miserably, and then roared angrily: "Why didn't you think about what to do when you took my power!" Why don't you want to think about what to do when I built yƬ check! ā
"What to do...... What else can I do? His voice echoed in the empty room, and for a long time, he also felt that anger was useless, and pursed his lips: "Wait a week......"
"A week later...... If there is an improvement at the box office, as long as it is returned, we will immediately hype it up! Now we don't have the capital to advertise! He took several deep breaths to calm his mood: "This movie ...... It's not just a movie, it's Sony's big strategy, if you can't get back to this ...... in a week"
He looked up to the sky and laughed miserably: "Then wait and prepare for the future!" ā
"Those scum on the board of directors will not let go of this opportunity!"
Happy endings all have similar happiness, and unhappy endings have their own misfortunes.
At a time when Sony's two big directors have been desperately betting on the two empty words of luck, 3DO Peterfo Palace has become a sea of excitement.
"Eight million! Million! The assistant's excited voice echoed throughout the room: "Eight million on the first day!" There are still two million to reach the original goal of Terminator 2! ā
Herbert suddenly got up, drank the martini in his hand in one go, and looked at the assistant fiercely: "Say it again!" ā
In the room, everyone's eyes, either pretending to be indifferent or passionate, all saw the assistant's body.
That's a naked money gaze, unabashed!
"Yes......" The assistant cleared his throat and shouted almost in a roaring voice: "Eight million! That's great momentum! Now more than 5 million on the first day can be called a big win! Terminator 2: That's bad luck! We have almost no opponents in August! Fast & Furious, sure to win! Victory! ā
"Smack!" Mitsui Mingzhong patted the table lightly, seemingly calm, but the ups and downs of his chest had betrayed him, and he said in a hoarse voice: "August, what other movies?" ā
"There will be no enemies for us!" Qin Yuanfeng interrupted him laughing: "Don't worry! Wait! ā
"Sony is just like us! are waiting! The first-day box office is a definite factor, but not all! He stood up with his excitement suppressed, closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths, and when he opened them again, he was already resolute.
"Wait...... First week box office! ā
"Only when it comes out is our real victory!"
"At the same time......" he looked up to the sky and laughed, and when he lowered his head, his face was solemn: "I can promise...... This time it will be a catastrophe for Colombia! ā
The next day, Hollywood exploded again!
Fast & Furious has its own unique hype points. At the beginning, in order to fight against the crazy publicity of Terminator 2 and in order to attract attention, Qin Yuanfeng did not hesitate to order the shooting of the real scene. This seemingly frenzied approach is now being paid several times over!
"A movie that is unattainable for previous shootout movies and car movies!" Film Times Group Editor-in-Chief, Trent. Gore himself wrote, "Fast and Furious, a representative of gunfight movies and car movies!" It is no secret that the representatives of these two films in the world are not in Hollywood, but in Hong Kong. They have made too many police and gangster films, gunfight movies, and Hong Kong movies have their own unique charm. And in recent years, it has also been unimpeded in Hollywood. ā
"And Fast & Furious, boldly using Hong Kong directors, Hong Kong actors, I bet that after this film, Zhou, Zhang, director Wu, these three names will be hot in Hollywood! The meaning of the aesthetics of violence is defined by Yu Sen. Wu interprets it vividly! Whether it's the slow-rocking shootout at the beginning or the leap over the Petronas Twin Towers at the top, in my opinion, this is a grand art! Art without a doubt! - The Age of Cinema.
