Chapter 800: Hasbro's Price

Walking into the office, J.R. Jones casually handed the briefcase to the assistant, turned to the back of the desk, took a sip of coffee at the right temperature, and then opened the laptop.

"Blake." He looked at the female assistant, "Is what I want ready?" ”

"Ready, in the text jiàn folder on your right."

After answering, the female assistant hurriedly left the office, she understood that her boss had a very high vision, almost on the top of his head, in the past so many years, whenever he was not optimistic about the movie achieved a high box office, he would always lose his temper, the box office of "Transformers 2" would definitely make him go berserk, she didn't want to be a punching bag.

Although he knew that he could only hide for a while, Blake did not hesitate to hide in his seat, and since the beginning of the new century, the boss has lost his temper more and more frequently, because the Disney commercial movies he is not optimistic about always easily achieve high box office, while his film reviews are almost no longer concerned.

Thinking of the boss's pitiful income in the past year, Blake couldn't help but lament that his welfare was getting worse and worse, and maybe it was time to change industries.

In his office, J.R. Jones found a thin piece of printer paper on which was the North American and global box office of Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen Kong.

North American box office $69.05 million! $185.66 million at the global box office!

This is the 24-hour record of "Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen Kong".

His hand shook slightly, and JR-Jones slapped the table hard, scolding a few words in his mouth with 'mailto:FUC@K

FUC@K' at the beginning, his whole face was about to distort, as if this could not vent the anger and unwillingness in his heart, he used his hands to tear the printer paper in half, and after it became a ball, he threw it on the ground.

“mailto:Fuc@k

Fuc@k! mailto:Fuc@k

Fuc@k……”

He felt anger burning in his chest, and the movie was so bad. Obviously there is no connotation and depth, why do those idiots still buy tickets to see it?

Is it true that all the people in this world have fallen?

Suppressing his anger, J.R. Jones opened his online column, which was an article he published immediately after the premiere, which didn't seem to have played any role, and if it was ten years ago, with the popularity of their group, it would not be too difficult to influence millions or even tens of millions of dollars at the box office.

He remembered the treatment last night, movie tickets, round-trip air tickets, and other expenses. It's all out of his own pocket, which used to be a necessary expense for the producer and distributor, and there is no way to talk about gifts, and in the past, when a film of this scale was released, he always received a check of at least five figures, but now these are gone......

“mailto:Fuc@k

Fuc@k! ”

"Damn Disney! Damn Ryan? Jenkins! Damn Transformers and Michael? Seashell! ”

In the midst of an inner curse, J.R. Jones entered the column, and although he was not as influential as before, he always had some supporters. Every time the video appears, someone will reply to the post below, whether it is echoing or countering the abuse, it always makes him feel that he has not been completely forgotten.

"This year hasn't passed yet, but I can say with certainty. As far as the movies that have been released now, "Transformers" 2 is definitely the worst and most disgusting, and there is no one, it won the first place! This film is disgusting what to ask for in the summer file. What did he pack and throw out, Michael? Bey didn't care about the quality of the film and the subject matter at all, so I was disappointed. ”

"If you're worried about missing the beginning of the story by being late – don't worry. "Transformers" has no storyline, not at all; You can look at your watch and wait 25 minutes before entering. ”

"Of course, if you are interested in the fact that summer has arrived and humans are still in the spring estrus period of primitive society, then you can still hurry up for the first twenty-five minutes."

"If you're here to see Alexandra? Ambrosio, and you're a man, I have nothing to say. She has a very hot body, her face is not bad, and pouting for kisses is also a growing material need, but the way she always shows off her breasts and ass in front of the camera is really tiresome, and I'd rather watch a pit bull go into heat - at least the pit bull is unabashedly real need, not fake height. Tide ......"

Eyes follow his reviews all the way down, JR?Jones is still very satisfied with his film reviews, which can always bring some trouble to the movie, even if it affects thousands of people not to enter the theater, it is also for Ryan? Jenkins' counterattack.

Last year, his agent approached Disney and expressed his desire to cooperate, but Disney's management sternly refused, and Disney gave an unbearable reason - the critics were not worth the price he offered.

Jones pulled down the film review to the end, wanting to see the following netizen replies, only when he saw that there were still people paying attention to his column, he could get back the feeling of the past, the feeling that film reviews decide the life and death of a movie.

“What?”

His eyes widened suddenly, as if he had seen something incredible.

The reply number below the movie review is zero, and the browsing number is a pitiful twenty-three, which is ...... It's simply ......

Jones rubbed his eyes, as if he couldn't believe what he saw, this movie review has been published for more than twenty-four hours, why is there no attention from anyone?

However, the truth of the matter is here, even if he crushes his eyes, those two vivid numbers are reminding him that you are not cared for!

"Bang!"

The sound of coffee cups smashing on the floor can be heard in the room, which Blake remembers also happened after the release of "Iron Man 2".

Poor professional film critic......

I don't know why, this thought suddenly appeared in her mind.

How much professional film critics hate "Transformers 2", how much the audience likes "Transformers 2", in just two days, on the Rotten Tomatoes website, which best reflects the taste of film critics, the freshness of "Transformers 2" has dropped to 22%, but in inverse proportion to it, it is the film's soaring box office figures.

After winning $69.05 million at the North American box office on the Independence Day holiday, "Transformers 2" won $45.68 million and $40.95 million respectively on the following Saturday and Sunday, and earned $155.68 million in the first three days of North America, undoubtedly sitting on the top of the North American box office charts.

Although "Transformers 2" is not as crazy as last year's "The Hunger Games 2: Sparks" at the North American box office, it has shown strong enough momentum.

US$235.88 million in five days, US$268.75 million in a week, and US$300 million in ten days......

In terms of global box office, the global box office exceeded $400 million in just five days, and when the film was released around the world for a week, the box office figure of $525.66 million announced to the world that another super-hit film had appeared.

It is almost inevitable that the film will surpass $1 billion at the global box office.

In addition, various Transformers-related merchandise sold again, especially Hasbro's Transformers toys, which increased sales by 440 percent during the film's popularity compared to the same period last year.

North America is the well-deserved No. 1 box office of "Transformers 2", and the enthusiasm of China on the other side of the ocean has once again exploded, which has also surprised Disney and Hollywood.

Although all the Shanghai-related text in the film was clicked off by a large pair of scissors, a considerable part of the film's plot has already been hyped up in China, and the Chinese actress appears from beginning to end in the Chinese teaser, which has aroused the enthusiasm of Chinese audiences.

The film was released simultaneously in China, and the attendance rate of the zero point file was close to 95%, which is enough to see the popularity of "Transformers 2" in China.

Although there are many complaints about 'American GIs overthrowing aliens with weapons, and China conquering Hollywood with advertising placement', in the subsequent release, the 3D and IMAX versions of "Transformers 2" are hard to find.

The box office of "Transformers 2" on the first day of 38.9 million RMB also easily surpassed the Chinese single-day box office record of 32.41 million RMB set by "Transformers 2".

The film set off a more fiery movie-watching frenzy in China than the first one, with 129.55 million RMB in the first three days, followed by more than 200 million in five days and 300 million in eight days, both setting new records in the Chinese film market.

17 days after its release, "Transformers 2" broke the Chinese box office record of 430.05 million RMB that "Transformers" had only held for two years, and successfully topped the overall box office champion in the history of the Chinese box office list.

However, even though Disney has made a lot of efforts, "Transformers 2" still did not get the 'key' to the postponement of a certain game, and just thirty days later, it took the lead in removing from the Chinese market.

565.78 million RMB, this is the new Chinese movie box office record, which belongs to "Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen Kong".

Entering August, the North American box office of "Transformers 2" is steadily moving towards the $400 million mark, and another huge success of the film has also made Hasbro full of confidence in its toy adaptation of the movie. Sommos made zuò live-action film.

With a successful precedent, Hasbro raised the production budget for "Special Ops: Cobra Rise" to $170 million.

In order to get back this series, they not only paid 3 times the original adaptation transfer fee, but also sold 2% of the peripheral share of "Transformers", so they naturally wanted to make zuò into a super blockbuster series.

Most importantly, Hasbro offered Ryan an $30 million plus 30 percent global box office share for the role of Duke, the Duke of Duke, the Duke of the Duke of the Duke of the Lord, and the price was negotiable.

Of course, they know that Ryan is not bad for money, but such a rare price is a symbol of his status as an actor in Hollywood.

After a brief thought, Ryan politely declined Hasbro's invitation, and his next work was already full, and there was no suitable schedule. (To be continued......)
