Chapter 254: You can take advantage of what they care about and get what they care about

On the first day of release, the box office soared to 59.17 million, what is this concept?

A new record?

I'm sorry, but the word 'new record' doesn't deserve to describe the current state of affairs.

At present, the first place at the global box office this year is Steven Spielberg's "Jurassic Park 2: The Lost World", but the box office of this movie on the first weekend was only 72.13 million, an average of 24.04 million per day, and the first day of "Titanic" was 2.4 times that of it......

If you say, two points and four times is actually normal, after all, the announcement of "Titanic" is not comparable to "Jurassic Park 2".

The credibility endorsement of countless people, the unison of all the media, under the current political and economic problems, those bankers who are hidden in various industries like to see this song and dance without opposition, and the starring Roland Allen is selling the beauty of the first love that all young women can't resist, in the case of more than 100 million in North America, and in the case that the other five have not launched blockbusters of the same period, if "Titanic" cannot achieve an overwhelming victory, All the people involved in all of this are failures, but there is actually one problem that is overlooked in this -

That's 'no increase in volume'.

The duration of "Titanic" is one hundred and ninety-four minutes.

The duration of "Jurassic Park 2" is one hundred and twenty-nine minutes.

"Men in Black", which is currently the second highest grossing in the world, has a duration of 98 minutes.

According to the normal rhythm of screening + clean operation, from the opening to the closing of a theater, a screen can show six "Jurassic Park 2" a day, that is, 774 minutes, and eight "Men in Black", that is, 784 minutes, but if it is replaced by "Titanic", it can only be screened for four, a total of 776 minutes.

On the surface, the daily screening time is about the same, but the problem is that compared with "Jurassic Park 2", "Titanic" has one-third fewer screenings on one screen! Compared to "Men in Black", that's half less!

In this case, in order not to make the public feel that the theater chain and the producer hope to pass on the crazy publicity cost and the high production cost to themselves, so the ticket price of "Titanic" is 10% more than "Jurassic Park 2", and nearly 17% more than "Men in Black......

To put it mildly, according to the normal market pricing rules, the ticket price of "Titanic" is absolutely sorry for its own duration, if it is simply calculated, then according to the pricing rules of "Jurassic Park 2", the box office of "Titanic" on the first day will be 77.85 million, according to the pricing rules of "Men in Black", the box office of "Titanic" on the first day will be 88.31 million, although these two pricing methods cannot make "Titanic" break 100 million on the first day, but ......

Countless filmmakers can't get results in a lifetime, Roland can get over in one day!

This kind of relaxation makes people feel emotional, enviable, and makes people unable to rise to resist......

"Congratulations Roland Allen! On the day of release, the box office reported 59.17 million! He made history again! ”

"You must know that the current box office daily output limit of North American theaters is only 90 million!"

"When Jurassic Park 2 was released in the summer, we were amazed by the over 50% attendance in the first weekend! At that time, I was thinking, how cool it is to have dinosaurs that can make thirty or forty people huddle into a movie theater? And now, I'm wondering how touching is the love that can attract eighty or ninety people to a movie theater? ”

"Can you make the audience cry until they are dizzy?"

So, with doubts, I walked into the theater with my wife......"

"But by the time we came out again, we ran out of tissues we had brought with us."

"Although James Cameron told a very old-fashioned story in "Titanic", ...... I am still moved by the beauty of Roland Allen and Kate Winslet......"

"No, I'm sorry, I shouldn't use the word acting to describe their state, because I don't think they're acting at all, because I can't find a trace of acting, and they are really in love again on the screen."

"The expressions of the two people are no different from the photos and videos exposed by the media before, they are both lovers in and out of the play."

"I'm sure a lot of people will have a very strange question in their minds when they hear this."

"Since there is no difference between them in and out of the play, then why should we go into the theater to watch this movie?"

"Wouldn't we just watch the news of their relationship?"

"It doesn't cost you anything!"

"Yes, when I saw the film halfway, I thought the same thing, but when I saw it at the end, I understood why I went into the theater to watch this movie, because the shipwreck effect of the Titanic was perfectly moved to the screen by James Cameron, and the visual effects presented in the movie are definitely several grades higher than "Jurassic Park 2" and "Men in Black"!"

"It's the reality that makes Jack and Ruth's love extraordinarily great......"

"It is the reality that comes to the face that makes the choice of life and death extremely touching......"

"It is the reality that comes to the face that makes the separation of yin and yang so painful......"

"It was the truth that brought tears to my eyes and my wife......

"I dare not say that Titanic is the best movie I have ever seen, but I dare say that under the control of James Cameron, with the empathy of Roland Allen and Kate Winslet, it is the most realistic movie I have ever seen......"

"I felt as if I were on the night of April 15, 1912......"

"It was as if I had witnessed that tragedy unfold with my own eyes......"

"I seem to have witnessed that unforgettable love ......"

After the release of the movie, the promotion of the film is actually out of Fox's control.

Various media outlets have shifted their focus from the hype of romance before the release of the movie to the quality of the movie itself.

Although everyone understands that the script of "Titanic" is like that, they can also understand the essence of the success of the whole movie, in addition to Roland Allen's unmatched super popularity, CGI is also one of the heroes of the film's success.

In fact, most of the time, special effects films are actually not easy to publicize.

Because special effects are actually a very virtual thing.

People can't let the public have an accurate understanding of the special effects of a movie through spoken descriptions.

It's like Aquaman.

When it was announced, how good were the special effects......

When I went in to take a look, it turned out to be a large Haidilao scene.

If this thing were called epic, Peter Jackson would be able to hold his Lord of the Rings and cry to death in the toilet.

Many times, producers and directors will have such a question, whether the special effects serve the plot, or the plot serves the special effects, but James Cameron has used "Titanic" to make a successful demonstration -

It's all for the movies!

Yes, the plot of "Titanic" is really a bit popular!

But you have to admit that it is precisely because of the mass that has been tested countless times by the market that it has become attractive!

At the same time, on the basis of this appeal, add visual enjoyment that can make the audience have an immersive experience, and that movie has already been made.

On the surface, the love of "Titanic" is the focus of people's attention, but in fact, if there is no real visual effect, the routine love will be greatly reduced.

A lot of times, why do people complain that a movie is really rubbish?

Is it because there is a problem with the plot of the movie?

No, it's the combination that's problematic......

A successful kernel that has been verified by the market, if you add the text effects in "Never Expected", it will become a spoof and complain, but if you add world-class CGI, a sense of substitution will also be generated.

In Roland's later life, many people felt that special effects were the future of the film industry because he was cool.

If the special effects can't improve, then the movie will decline.

And said that James Cameron is a good example of not making movies without new technology.

But in fact, these people don't understand what James Cameron succeeded on the ground.

Cool CGI, just to pull the audience into the world of cinema! The cliché but acceptable plot that is sprayed by everyone is the root of the audience's sense of substitution! Special effects and plot never conflict, only when they are perfectly combined, the audience will feel that this movie is good-looking, on the surface, it is CGI that conquers the audience, but in fact, it is CGI+ that has been verified and successfully plotted, and the sense of substitution created by these two makes him invincible!

The plot may be watery, but as long as people like it, that's enough.

When the special effects of "Titanic" came out, the movies that originally contributed to the box office with women as the main force were gradually leaning towards men, although the plot is not friendly to many men, but the magnificent scene can still make them find satisfaction in the dog food.

And after this sense of substitution is generated, many male fans who accompany their girlfriends to watch the movie can also chat about a few words of the plot.

Female fan: "You say, if Ruth believed that the Star of the Sea wasn't stolen by Jack in the first place, would they have survived?" ”

Male fan: "I don't think either of them will survive, didn't you see her fiancé finally pull out a gun and shoot when he saw Ruth and Jack hugging and kissing?" If she had believed Jack in the first place, maybe the two of them would have been killed......"

Female fan: "Huh? Then you said that Ruth didn't get off the lifeboat and return to the Titanic, then Jack wouldn't have died? After all, Jack can survive by snatching the planks......"

Male fans: "I still think both of them will die, after Ruth survived, she came to the United States to marry her fiancé, and finally committed suicide because life was not going well, and after Jack survived, he was beaten to death by Ruth's fiancé as soon as he set foot in the United States, because in the final boarding session, Ruth's fiancé blatantly said that he would let Jack wait for death on the ship......"

The female fan was a little unhappy, "Huh? Can't you think in a good place? For example, Jack ended up on that plank, and both of them came to the United States alive, and then lived happily together, and gave birth to a lot of children......"

The male fan was helpless, "The problem is that there is no such thing in reality, okay!" Jack is a poor boy, and he can't afford to give Ruth the life she wants! Didn't you see the picture of Ruth at the end? What she wants is freedom in conditions of abundance! She wants someone who loves her and can play with her! But Jack is clearly not! He has no money! ”

Female fans are very dissatisfied, "Can love surpass everything!" Isn't Roland's A+list also in love with Kate, a newcomer? ”

The male fan stopped coaxing, "Then why don't you ask, when will Roland and Kate get married?" ”

Female fan: "??? ”

Female fan: "!! ”

Female fan: "It seems to be no problem! ”

Similar conversations were frequently staged in various parts of America, and then ......

[Roland and Kate are a good match! ] Let them marry on the spot! The post went viral and spread wildly on Yahoo and IMDb.

In Roland's previous life, Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet made headlines every time they had a secret meeting, and the root cause was because no matter how many years later, there would still be fans looking forward to their marriage, and Roland's life ......

Well, inspired by a male friend, Roland and Kate have both been to each other's houses, so they should have plans to prepare for a wedding, right?' 'When do you think Roland and Kate will announce their engagement?' 'Roland and Kate with the doll look so loving!' 'The beauty of a handsome man and a woman, the child born must be good-looking!' 's post......

It directly squeezes out the living space of other discussion forums.

At the beginning of this year, IMDb only maintained about 250 million visits a week, and now......

Roland and Kate's discussion forum alone can contribute nearly 700 million visits a week.

At the beginning of this year, IMDb added tens of thousands of new users every week, and now......

The discussion forum of Roland and Kate alone reached 300,000 new users in a week.

When Roland first bought IMDb, the site was worth tens of millions, and now......

If you add a zero to it and offer 500 million, you can make those online media companies compete for the head!

When a website like IMDb can enjoy the fan dividends brought by Roland's eight-year-old fan group, the box office on Saturday and Sunday will not disappoint, due to the scheduling of films, there are still so many shows, and the room for growth has been blocked, and the box office has begun to decline on the second day, but even so, the box office of the first weekend still came to 1.5 billion!

As for the other movies?

I'm sorry, but the entire North American theater chain produced a maximum of 90 million box office in a day at full capacity......

Other films, dead.

"Tomorrow's Empire", which was released at the same time as "Titanic", closed at 3.07 million in the first weekend.

Nathan Lane's "The Mouse Catch" closed at 920,000 in its opening weekend.

"Scream 2", which was released on December 12, received 590,000 in three days.

"Broken Lock Angry Tide", which was released on December 10, received 330,000 in three days.

"Soul Catcher", which was released on December 5, did not exceed 150,000 in three days......

The five films of the month, plus some pre-films, accounted for a total of 30% of the market share, but the box office revenue they brought did not even reach a fraction of that of "Titanic......

This kind of single-handedly terror crushing the world has made all film companies choose to go down, and even Sony has postponed the release of "Perfect......

MMP, now it's no longer an egg hitting a stone, but whoever encounters "Titanic" will be frustrated!

Everyone knows Roland cow beep, but they didn't expect Roland, who sold love in front of the public for the first time, to be such a cow beep.

Now he was like Jack, standing at the bow of the boat, raising his arms and shouting—

“I'mthekingoftheworld!”

As for what the media has previously proposed, who in the end can break Roland's rule in the nineties?

No one talks about this boring topic anymore.

Will Smith?

The total box office of "Men in Black" in North America is 250 million, and that is the number of "Titanic" for a week......

The six that have been secretly observing......

Fox, Sony, and Paramount, who have cooperated with Roland, laughed like crazy, while Universal, Warner, and Disney ......

They just can't figure it out, why are Roland Allen fans so crazy?

If Harrison Ford ruled the eighties and kept countless superstars alive in his shadow, now ......

How many superstars dare to pat their chests and say that Lao Tzu lives in the shadow of Roland Allen?

Since his debut, Roland has either been breaking records or on the way to breaking records, when everyone thinks that breaking 100 million in North America is a success, 200 million is a big hit, and 300 million is the ceiling......

Roland's guarantee is 300 million......

The achievements you are proud of are just the starting point of others......

This is more hurtful than facing diss......

As for cooperation......

Warner, Universal, and Disney also want to cooperate with Roland!

This kind of opportunity to pick up money for nothing, don't want it in vain!

But the problem is that since his debut, Roland has only cooperated with his own people!

Going around in circles, the projects he participated in were either set up by Jewish gangs or backed by tyrants on Wall Street......

They want to squeeze in, but they can't!

Ay......

And just when Warner, Universal, and Disney watched "Titanic" go on a rampage and sweep everything away, but they didn't have a chance at all to get a piece of the pie from Roland Allen, Roland, who was smiling because of the box office hit, suddenly received a call from Spielberg.

"Hey! Good morning, Steven! ”

"Let me guess, did you call me at this time to congratulate me on the big sale of "Titanic"?"

"Hey! We don't have to be so polite between us......"

"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be where I am now......"

Although Roland's words were full of politeness, Spielberg could still hear the joy in his words.

Even if he didn't see Roland, he could still imagine that Roland was leaning on his big sofa at this moment, with his feet leisurely on the coffee table......

But......

It's normal to be excited......

After all, every second now, for Roland, is making history!

However, he didn't call this time to congratulate him, "Okay......"

"Then I'm not going to be polite to you......"

"That's right......" Roland's joyful voice came again.

Spielberg didn't care, but continued: "I called you to have something serious to tell you......"

"You told me before that you were going to charge Kate for Ao, do you remember this?"

"Remember, remember, you wait for me......" As soon as he heard this, the guy who was still dashing hurriedly closed his voice.

Immediately after, the sound of knocking came from the earpiece.

It was about a dozen seconds before Spielberg heard Roland's words, "Uh...... You name it......"

"I've just been in the living room, Kate is cooking food with Lizzie in the kitchen, I need to stay away from her so she doesn't hear ......"

"Oh yes, you said Chongao, is there a problem?"

"Those guys can't be that greedy, can they?"

The words made the old man shake his head with a smile, he was used to Roland's petty temperament, and he wouldn't care about this kind of practice, so he went straight to the point, "Chongao's deal, I haven't mentioned it to them yet......"

"I called you this time, just to say, you are really losing ...... by doing this."

"Loss?" As soon as he heard this, Roland's heart warmed a little.

"This varies from person to person, right?"

"I don't think it's a loss, it's a ...... it's not a loss."

Hearing the chic words, Spielberg smiled and shook his head, how could he not know that Roland was determined to buy the prize?

But what he said about the loss was not to let Roland not buy it, but to maximize the benefits-

"No, I mean, judging by the current situation, this year is also the best year for you."

"Titanic is a hit, and fans from the outside world are even talking about you and Kate's baby......"

"In this case, if you change some chips that are more attractive to them, or rather, add something that they are interested in, maybe ......"

"You've won the most unlikely prize in your life?"

"You may not care, but your fans do......"

"And you can take advantage of what they care about and get the ...... they care about"

"Well, would you be interested in hearing my thoughts?"
