When the box office in the first week of North America has not yet been released, the fastest working media person has pushed the words of film critic George to the pages of major online media, George never imagined that his understanding of "Super Body" would cause a huge effect in North America, when a person's mouth is big, his audience will increase rapidly on the basis of the expansion of publicity, the key problem is that George cannot carry every film in the same schedule, which will make it seem that film critics have become unstylish, so, For the other films released in the summer file, George used a stricter eye, and then those films became victims of "Super Body".

There is not much difference between Hollywood film critics and domestic film critics, whether it is praising a film or stepping on a film, they will take a lot of examples of movies of the same period, which becomes either lifting a batch to improve their correctness, or stepping on a batch to prove how bad the movie is.

As a result, the word-of-mouth of "Super Body" covered the entire network in an instant, and the reason why the Internet gathered word-of-mouth so quickly is that the speed of the Internet is really fast enough, so fast that before the movie was released, the famous film review website "Rotten Tomatoes" in the United States had pushed the expectation of "Super Body" to 98% (real number jù), and on Fandango, the largest ticketing website in the United States, the pre-sale of movie tickets for "Super Body" also reached its peak, and even on Facebook, "Super Body" are more than twice as many reviews as other sites!

The evaluation of a film critic during the period when a movie has just been released has a more or less influence on the evaluation of most film critics in the future, especially now that film critics will choose movies only when they look at each other's film reviews. In this case, "Super Body" attracted unanimous praise when it was released in Hollywood in its first week.

"It's been a long time since I've seen such a good movie, and I'm a fan of special effects shots. This is the first time I have found out that there is a special effects studio in Hollywood that is on par with industrial light and magic, and in addition to the technical arguments described in the movie, I also feel very happy to watch "Super Body". ”

"Oh! I really admire Shao Yingying's mind, he can mix such an imaginative scientific deduction into such a complex business story, and can still make you read it with relish, I now understand why Shao Yingying was able to appear in Time Magazine twice. It's amazing. ”

Under the praise, "Super Body" won the first place in the weekly box office list in North America with a score of 44 million US dollars when the number of films scheduled was not as high as that of other films!

No. 1 at the box office in North America!!

What does this mean?

After the 2008 financial crisis. Except for 2009, when "Avatar" was very empty, breaking many records and becoming a well-deserved champion of the box office charts, the box office of the second and third places was only about 400 million US dollars; In 2010, the rice market did not pick up, and the annual box office champion was also in the early 400 million, but the second, third, and fourth places could only be maintained at about 300 million. Other words. The North American market is languishing in the context of the financial crisis, but at this time, before "Avatar" was born, "Super Body" led the box office list with a score of 44 million in a single week!

This is the result of the two series of films in the North American market!!

"We can now be sure that "Super Body" will be a movie with a box office of over 100 million, but it is really a bit unpredictable how high the box office expectations of this movie will be, after all, among the films produced by Shao Yingying, only "Twilight" won less than 200 million at the North American box office."

In MGM Harry Sloan's office, Shao Yingying saw this check-in in the rice entertainment program. is holding the phone in his hand to communicate with the mainland: "Sister Hua, have the mainland single-week box office results come out?" ”

"It's out. Wait a minute...... Beijing, Huangpu, Yuezhou, and Shenzhen contributed 78 million box office results in a single week, and the rest of the region contributed 33 million, that is to say, when "Super Body" was released simultaneously in China, the pre-sale of the mainland box office and the sales of the theater window alone reached 111 million, which is still the result of the main creators not coming to the mainland to publicize! ”

Hearing Wang Jinghua's words, Shao Yingying was also a little helpless, anyway, the main creative team has only one set, and if you want the main creative staff to promote in North America, it is unlikely that they will appear in the mainland for publicity, on the contrary, if you go to the mainland to publicize, the North American market will definitely suffer a certain amount of decline, which is the disadvantage of simultaneous global release, and it is also the reason why many Hollywood movies are released in the mainland after they are released abroad.

Shao Yingying, who was sitting on the sofa, put the phone on his shoulder and said to Harry Sloan, who was checking the instant box office: "Harry, does it have any impact on the box office if we leave North America now to rush to China to publicize?" ”

Harry Sloan glanced back at Shao Yingying and said: "I don't mean to discriminate, even if the dollar and RMB have fallen to the point of 1:6 now, the dollar is still very valuable, we have to hold a celebration banquet when the box office is about to slip to increase exposure and make the box office climb, at this time you are gone...... There will be a lot of dollars to lose. ”

"All I need is a week." Shao Yingying said firmly.

Harry Sloan asked incomprehensibly: "Shao, as long as you win this battle without the slightest risk, you are likely to become the most successful Chinese in Hollywood, not one of them." At this time, you don't concentrate on studying the plot of the next movie, do you think it's appropriate to go back to the mainland? Don't forget, you're a businessman. ”

"Of course I remember, but before that I was still an artist, I can get to where I am today, it is the result of stepping out of the small screen in China, and it is the road paved for me by every Chinese audience, no matter where I go, I will not say that I am half a Chinese person, I will only say that I am a complete Chinese person."

Harry Sloan naturally understood what Shao Yingying meant, and joked, "I suspect that you have strict racist tendencies. ”

"Forget it, discriminating against white-skinned people in the United States is not racial discrimination." Shao Yingying shook his head and smiled: "Sue me for the time of the celebration banquet." ”

"According to the current market environment, it is estimated that the box office will be stable in the second week, but that group of media people should start to launch various offensive speeches from the second week, and the box office is likely to decline from the third week, so you only have one week."

Hearing this, Shao Yingying picked up the phone and said, "Sister Hua, I'll go back immediately and get off the plane tomorrow." ”

"Now?"

"Now!"

"Xiao Shao, you have to think clearly, now is the best time for the box office of the United States, and how do you explain Fan Yuyi? This is her best opportunity to expand her career in the United States. ”

Wang Jinghua, who is familiar with the entertainment industry, even if she doesn't know what kind of development state the United States is, she can see that at this time, it is the time when Fan Yiyi blossoms and bears fruit, and suddenly pulling back to China is likely to cause the danger of losing the best opportunity.

Shao Yingying heard this and remembered that night in Taiwan, and said firmly: "I won't take her back, I will take Scarlett and Morgan Freeman back, these two big Hollywood names will trigger tracking reports from the domestic media." ”

After saying this, Shao Yingying hung up the phone: "Harry, two things, first, inform Scarlett, Morgan and me to go together; Second, I want all the products around the "source code" to be online, of course, we don't produce them ourselves, but sell these copyrights, how the developers copyright is their business, now we can't carry out this range of promotion, do our best to turn the copyright into money, don't let the bank every day to the scoundrel who we owe on the spot is the key point. I'll talk about the rest when I get back. ”

Unless something special happens during the release of the film, the stars are on standby throughout the whole process, and they must participate in the points of publicity that need to be remedied, and it is inevitable that Morgan Freeman and Scarlett will fly to the capital of China for the second time.

After getting off the plane, Wang Jinghua, who had already arranged the hotel, quickly took the three of them to the hotel, and the only thing he said during this period was: "Have a good rest, you will be very busy tomorrow." ”

The three of them who were speechless all night and rested all night almost opened their eyes at seven o'clock the next morning and began to deal with interviews with various media, including talk shows in Beijing, talk shows in Tianjin, and even Zhejiang and Shonan TV after the separation of production and broadcasting.

After being busy, Shao Yingying's tired legs were about to cramp, and his cheeks hurt when he spoke, and the process of filming "Super Body" was said at least seven or eight times today, just Scarlett's jokes in Huaxia were said several times, and he felt funny when he said it the first few times, but later, he couldn't laugh at all.

Shao Yingying, who was finally able to rest, just lay down on the bed Wang Jinghua followed: "I can't rest yet, come with me, right away, I don't have time to talk, I'll explain to you on the way." ”

"What's the matter? I haven't eaten after a busy day. ”

"Let's eat when we get to the place, Cheng Long's charity dinner."

At this time, Cheng Long's charity dinner is no longer called Dragon Knight, and Shao Yingying's appearance is also to give the eldest brother a face, and by the way, increase exposure.

Shao Yingying, who was too lazy to move, struggled to get up, and the stylist made a decent suit for him and followed Wang Jinghua downstairs, okay, the ticket downstairs was waiting for him, and in the nanny car alone, there were Xu Jinglei, Ning Hao, Feng Xiaogang, and Jiang Wen, the mainstays of the four companies, and the big directors in the company were not present now.

"Shall we participate in the charity dinner or grab the charity dinner?"

There are too many people, why do you still organize a group to attend a charity dinner? (To be continued......)
