Chapter 259: Box Office Myth

As the plot of the film unfolded, everyone was quickly attracted by the wonderful plot, and when the monster Smygoh appeared, Wang Weizhong, Wu Zongxian and others couldn't help but let out an exclamation.

Smegoar can be said to have integrated today's cutting-edge computer special effects technology, with more than 400 special effects shots in the entire "Fellowship of the Ring", and the investment in special effects is as high as $50 million, and this Smeagol alone cost $2 million.

"Is this really a movie invested by Jade Emperor Golden Harvest Company?" Everyone couldn't help but look up at Chen Lin, they were really a little unbelievable, the movies produced by domestic film companies really reached the level of Hollywood, not only that, but this film was also the top among Hollywood blockbusters.

Now everyone believes that this film cost $150 million as advertised, look at the texture of the picture, look at the special effects technique, it really can't be made without so much money.

The movie ran for an hour and a half, and everyone was addicted to watching it and amazed. When the film came to an end, Zhang Xiaoyan, Cai Kangyong, Wu Zongxian, Wang Weizhong, Wu Qilong, Jay Chou, members of the Brother Xian family, and more than 10 people, including the artist Xiao S of Wei Zhongge's company, all stood up and applauded warmly.

"Xiao Linzi, you have impressed everyone again this time."

"yes, it's so exciting, this movie is so unexpected."

"It's really a magical epic blockbuster, and this evaluation is by no means overstated."

Everyone expressed their love for the film to Chen Lin, "Thank you for your compliment, but the box office hasn't come out yet, the real test will be known tomorrow, and it's a little early to praise now." ”

"Hey-Lin Zi, we still have this vision, if this film doesn't sell me a lot, Wu Zongxian will quit the variety show industry from now on." Wu Zongxian patted his chest and swore it.

Wu Zongxian can dare to swear that he naturally has enough confidence in the film, and others have the same opinion, and they are all optimistic about the box office hit.

"Thank you for your support." The film was supported by his friends, Chen Lin was naturally happy, and he smiled: "Thanks to everyone's good words, if the film is a big hit." I will definitely hold a celebration banquet to thank you all for your support. ”

"Ha~~ We should have eaten your celebration banquet, the big guy said yes."

"That's right, the celebration banquet is set."

A group of friends were full of confidence, Chen Lin could only express his gratitude, and it was not too early to finish watching the film, Chen Lin sent everyone out of the cinema, and he himself went back to the hotel to rest, waiting for tomorrow's results.

The next day, at 7 a.m.

The world premiere box office data for "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" is out.

The film was released in more than 4,300 theaters in North America, earning $50.8 million at the box office on its opening day. It surpassed the first-day box office records of blockbusters such as "Shrek", "Rush Hour II" and "The Mummy Returns", and became the second highest-grossing film in North America in 2001 after the highest single-day box office record of $58 million held by "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone".

While creating a box office myth in the North American market, "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" is also invincible in overseas markets, with a total of $62 million in a single day in 59 first-to-release overseas markets in the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Chinese mainland.

Coupled with the single-day box office in North America, the global box office of "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" reached a staggering $120 million on the first day of release.

The results were quickly known to the global media, and in the course of a morning, the global media commented on the film, overwhelmingly praising the film.

In particular, the domestic media continued to report this shocking news in a large way like crazy. $120 million is 960 million yuan, 3.84 billion Taiwan dollars.

Not to mention how ordinary people and netizens feel when they see this number, it is that some well-known people and business tycoons have expressed their amazement.

Chen Lin's mobile phone in the morning. His wife's, as well as Liu Dehua, a shareholder of Jade Emperor Jiahe, and Chen Long's mobile phones were all about to be blown up, and the phone was full of congratulations.

Chen Lin's tongue was a little numb. I don't know how many times Lu Dao has said "Xie Lu Xie".

Finally, it wasn't until noon that the phone was less, Chen Lin and Yu Yu, Brother Hua. Brother Chen Long and the four of them discussed the celebration banquet on the phone. The celebration banquet must be held, and it must be lively, and all the friends who support them will be invited. The last four decided to hold four thank-you banquets together, and each of them presided over a celebration banquet in Taibei, Hong Kong, Changsha, and Beijing.

The celebration banquet in northern Taiwan was naturally hosted by Chen Lin, who is in northern Taiwan.

In the afternoon, the Jade Emperor Jiahe Taibei Company distributed invitations, and some important figures were personally invited by Chen Lin by phone, and high-ranking officials and nobles from all walks of life in Taibei City, including the mayor, received invitations.

That night, the Jade Emperor Jiahe Company chartered the top hotel in Tai*bei - Yuanshan Hotel to entertain the guests, and also entrusted Cai Kangyong to serve as the master of ceremonies for the banquet.

A total of 600 guests were invited to the banquet, and 560 people came to attend, and only 40 people regretted not being able to attend for various reasons, and the mayor of Taipei*bei also attended.

The reason why the dignitaries and nobles of Taibei City attended the banquet so much was that "The Lord of the Rings" achieved a ratings miracle in the world, especially in the United States and Europe, which greatly increased the self-esteem of the Chinese people in the world. And there is also a subtlety that the Jade Emperor Jiahe is registered in Hong Kong, which means that he is a Hong Kong company, and the big boss Chen Lin also holds a Hong Kong household registration.

Some people in Taiwan's society are always wary of the mainland, but they don't have so much trouble with Hong Kong companies and Hong Kong people, and in capitalist society, people admire people who can build huge wealth by relying on their personal talents, just as Taiwan's people worship Guo Taiming, and many people also admire Chen Lin, the richest man on the Hurun list.

The celebration banquet was of a very high grade and very luxurious, with 8 people around 400,000 Taiwan dollars, a total of 75 people, and a total of 30 million Taiwan dollars.

If you count the other three banquets, Jade Emperor Jiahe spent a total of 30 million yuan this time.

On the second and third days, the good news continued to come from all over the world, and "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" drove all the way to the box office, earning $280 million three days later, and a total of $350 million a week later.

In the face of such an unnatural box office income, Chen Lin once again held a celebration banquet, but this celebration banquet was private.

In the evening, Chen Lin borrowed Mr. Cai Kangyong's home to make a table of home-cooked dishes, and only invited Wu Zongxian, Zhang Xiaoyan, Wang Weizhong, Jay Chou, Wu Qilong, and the best friends, in addition to two special people, Big S and Little S. A total of 8 people attended the family dinner. (To be continued......)
