At 9:40 p.m., crowds of excited audiences poured out in Los Angeles' major movie theaters, many of whom were still dancing and gesturing.

"That's cool! How did that rich run? It's in the escalator, like a monkey! ”

"No, it's supposed to be a cheetah!"

Other kung fu fans are discussing, "How did Fu fight Cruise in the room?" So, or so? ”

"Don't think about it, I heard that Fu is the teacher of Zhi and Drew, and he is the greatest kung fu master in Asia, as great as Bruce Lee!"

"No, I think he's bigger than Bruce Lee, at least he's cooler!"

Female fans are like nymphomaniacs, "Wow, Cruise is so handsome, can a man shoot so handsome?" Tom, Cruise is Tom, so are you, you have to learn from him! ”

No wonder these audiences are so excited, the current Hollywood action movies are still in the stage of grand scenes, actors showing off well-developed muscles, and at most plasma and bullets. And this "King of Killers", Sun Ziming refers to "Raid", in addition to the different scenes, a large number of professional hand-to-hand combat CQC is used to increase the enjoyment of the film. The whole film is full of super exciting hand-to-hand combat, brutal close combat, high-altitude falling grappling and a large number of professional martial arts, which challenge the audience's heart strength every minute and second.

The fiery gunfight scenes, the tragic fist and foot fights, and the beauty of violence are always displayed. It can be said that this "King of Killers" combines almost all the necessary elements of Hong Kong and Hollywood action movies, making the audience's adrenaline soar again and again.

This type of action movie, the audience has never seen it, and they never thought that an action movie could be filmed like this.

……

The big office of the light and shadow company was empty, only a few women, Kayo Sato and Liana, more than a dozen phones rang one after another, and several women were busy answering and recording. As soon as Sun Ziming entered the company, he heard the excited inquiry inside, and most of the stones that had been pressed in his heart fell to the ground, and he was on the right path.

Hong Kong action movie, the action is beautiful and fast-paced, but the scenes are too small. Hollywood action movies, the action is dull and slow-paced, but the scenes are grandiose. By combining the two types of movies and eliminating their advantages, you can create a new type of action movie, and the first person to eat crabs can reap the greatest benefits in most cases! 'Before' it was "The Matrix", but now it's "King of Killers".

"Lena, how's it going?"

Liana, who was on her hands and feet, raised her head, and saw that it was Tom Cruise, a handsome guy, who did not greet him with a smile as usual, but just made an Ok gesture and continued to answer the phone and bow her head to record.

Seeing that the overall situation has been decided, Sun Ziming does not care about Lianna's statistics, but cares about the situation of "Speed of Life and Death". If "The Speed of Life and Death" is as good as the memory, it will definitely greatly affect the box office of "The King of Killers".

The box office market in North America is so big, three excellent action movies are released at the same time, and if they don't affect each other, then there are ghosts! What's more, the United States is a country on wheels, and cars are more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people than kung fu!

The main creators danced excitedly, and even the restrained and steady Li Lianjie smiled from ear to ear, only Sun Ziming sat on the lattice table and smoked. After checking the market reaction of "The King of Killers", the subordinates have to check "The Speed of Life and Death", if half an hour later, the feedback results are as they think, everyone really has to fight a bayonet to see red!

Hey, if only people had been staring at MGM and "Future Water World", I had known that this would be the case, and what I said would have postponed the release time. Sun Ziming finished smoking a cigarette and just refilled another cigarette when he suddenly felt that something was wrong!

Kayo Sato is the most well-informed person in her circle, and she didn't get the news, so someone must be blocking the news. Sun Ziming was silent, and then it suddenly dawned on him that MGM may have had a premonition of something, deliberately blocking the news, and wanted to choose the most favorable schedule to pull up the box office, don't fail too ugly.

Hehe, it's useless, it's not cheap yourself, but it's cheap "Pulp Fiction". No, it's also cheaper, and "Pulp Fiction" also has its own share of the money it makes!

Cameron Diaz, who made a cameo appearance in "The King of Killers", saw Sun Ziming snickering alone, jumped up and ran to him, stretched out his little white hand and shook it in front of his eyes, "Boss, what are you laughing at?" ”

Sun Ziming opened the white paws in front of him, this child is in his twenties, and he is still like a child.

"Hey, when will you and Jim Carrey's "Strange Jack in Disguise" be released?"

Cameron, who is not much shorter than Sun Ziming, also sat on the table and said happily: "Autumn stalls, ranked behind "Pulp Fiction" and "Jurassic Park 2". They say, we might get $100 million at the box office! ”

is another stupid child with stupid fortune, as soon as "Future Water World" fails, "Pulp Fiction" will immediately schedule a large number of films, releasing all the box office potential in a short time. By the time "Strange Heroes in Disguise" is released, except for "Dumb and Dumb", there will be no decent opponents in the market, and they will definitely make a lot of money.

In this way, "Pulp Fiction" and "Dumb and Dumb" can benefit, and they can also complete this year's tasks and get the global shares stipulated in the agreement.

The two chatted for a few words, and the situation on the side of "Life and Death" began to be fed back, and the excitement in the office began to be slowly diluted. The situation over there is also very good, many fans say that "Speed of Life and Death" is the best, and the two most mentioned words are 'speed'!

Several of the leading actors in the crew are people who have been in the film industry for a long time, and they have also encountered scenes like this kind of masterpieces, and they know that things will not be as smooth as imagined. Sun Ziming and Lianna discussed a few of them to engage in public relations and publicity, and then called a few leading actors over.

"You all know the situation, right? Now is the time to fight for hard power, we are strong in the number of theaters and the number of screens far exceed our opponents, and "Burning Pursuit" has begun to decline again, so publicity has become the focus. We need to continue to maintain the publicity so that the attendance rate does not drop too quickly so that it will not be affected too much. Lianna, you assign a task. ”

The capable Lena began to group everyone, and Li Lianjie's popularity was weaker, so he was separated from Cameron Diaz and let her carry publicity. Sun Tzu Ming and Tom Cruise are well-known enough, and each takes a group to go around to promote it.

……

Sun Ziming is actively coping with them, and Paramount is also busy.

This production is only 25 million, even if the test screening effect is good, it did not make Paramount pay enough attention, and it was only put at the end of the summer file after negotiation with the theater chain as to fill the gap in the market for "The King of Killers". You must know that the prime time is almost divided among blockbusters, and it is also a very good arrangement for such a movie without big-name directors and superstars to be assigned to the end of the summer schedule.

However, what Shirley didn't expect was that the audience's reaction back was not far from that of "The King of Killers". God, this is a blockbuster that will have a box office of over 100 million, how can it conflict with the bastard's schedule?

When the attendance rate of the second game came back, Shirley and the others regretted it to death, such a low-cost small production zuò, the attendance rate actually reached 85%, far exceeding the 42% of "Burning Eyebrow Pursuit"!

"How's King of Killers going?"

“82%！ Boss, we can't compare with it, its theaters are 2,618, and the number of screens has reached 3,140! ”

Although Milan is excited, they are still very in awe of the films produced by light and shadow. That's the psychological shadow caused by the box office myth that occupies the top three box office positions every year.

"I know"

Shirley, who had cultivated to perfection, took out a moore, and Milan lit it for her with a very eye-catching look, and said in a low voice: "Boss, do you want to contact Scott and them?" The attendance rate of "Burning Pursuit" is so low, it will definitely adjust the theater and screen. ”

"Nonsense", Shirley cursed and continued to smoke her cigarette. Theatrical chains are highly commercialized, and the head office has the right to decide when the first round of releases is made. After the film was released, as soon as the various numbers came out, the theater managers below had complete autonomy, and the headquarters had no right to interfere at all. The summer file is not a spring file, and the theater chain will not sign a charter agreement with the producer, and every qiē is determined by the attendance rate.

After smoking, Shirley asked, "Are the crew gone?" ”

"Already gone, they went to New York to publicize. According to your order, an additional five million publicity expenses were given to the crew. ”

Shirley nodded and whispered, "Keep an eye on it, in case the funds are insufficient, report to me immediately, now is not the time to save money." ”

"Yes, Madam", Milan immediately agreed, the company underestimated the box office prospects of "Life and Death", and now can only increase the promotion fee at any time.

……

The next day, film critics also gave "Speed of Life and Death" a very high rating.
