Chapter 410

However, the acquisition plan of one city and one theater abroad is going very well, North America has completed the acquisition of 15 theaters, and is currently vigorously renovating, the European Union has also completed the acquisition of theaters in 26 cities, and the world's major film markets are also throwing money on large-scale acquisitions, but the targets are all super-large cities, with very good tastes, and ordinary cities are not eye-catching at all.

Its acquisition was not a wholly-owned acquisition, but a 30%-60% equity acquisition, which did not violate the interests of most cinema chains.

The name of the cinema company is set as 'International Cinema Line', and the registered company is in North America.

This kind of acquisition behavior naturally attracted the attention of many movie theater chains around the world, but because the target of this movie theater chain is only focused on super-large cities, and the number of movie theaters is scarce, the conflict of interest is not large, so it has not caused a strong backlash from major theater chains in various countries. However, the owner of this company is very mysterious, and he has never shown up at all, and he is very low-key. There are already many people who are speculating whether the owner is American, European, or Chinese.

In addition to the above things, the box office market of movies this autumn is also lively.

First of all, "The Amazing Spider-Man" relied on the huge popularity accumulated by the original "Spider-Man" series, and collected a total of 500 million US dollars in the first week of its global unified release, opening the beginning of the year-end box office war!

Subsequently, another Marvel hero "Captain America" also carried 3D audio-visual enjoyment to the world, with a global box office income of $4.5 billion in the first week, which stimulated the heat of the box office war to continue to rise!

The year-end of 2011 is the most densely scheduled blockbuster in the history of global cinema, the hottest year-end at the box office, and the hottest year-end for fans around the world!!

Blockbusters are coming one after another, and fans are already so happy that they are about to faint!

The ability to twist time and space is gradually restored, and more and more blockbusters from the previous time and space have begun to appear in this time and space, especially those heroes of Marvel.

With "The Amazing Spider-Man" and "Captain America" igniting the year-end box office war, "X-Men" and "Rio Adventure" also followed, staging one box office miracle after another in the global box office market.

The Chicago Gazette, a professional film review newspaper, is already exclaiming that this year's box office is surprisingly terrifying, and the global box office has surpassed the 2010 global box office by 20% before November. According to the more intensive blockbuster schedule at the end of the year, this year's total box office may exceed 40% of the total box office in 2010. What they don't know is that the total box office in 2010 has surpassed the global total box office in 2014, and the film entertainment industry is unprecedentedly developed.

The expansion of the market has further stimulated those large film and television companies to change their film plans for next year, increase investment, and increase the number of blockbusters. At the same time, stimulated by the $4.4 billion of Hope Film and Television Group to make a movie, it has also increased the budget ceiling for blockbusters.

In November, Datang International's sci-fi evolutionary mutation film "Gods and Demons Colony", which aims to be set in the international film market and has an investment of 1.2 billion yuan, finally premiered in the North American film market.

It is a movie adapted from the same name on the Internet, which tells the story of Su Yu, a student of a third-rate school, because of the "sinkhole" incident, the school collapsed and fell into the "sinkhole", and appeared in a terrifying unknown forest, which is full of all kinds of terrifying and weird monsters......

Before the investment was confirmed, Tang Zongshi also consulted Lin Mu, and finally pulled an investment of 300 million yuan from Hope Film and Television Group. Tang Zongshi was very confident in this movie, and also wanted to use it to make Datang International internationally famous, so he directly put it for its North American premiere despite everyone's opposition, and also competed with many Hollywood blockbusters.

At this time, it has "The Amazing Spider-Man" and "Captain America", which have been released for nearly a month, and "X-Men", which was just released last week, and "Twilight" at the same time, and the interception of "Iron Man" in the back, which can be described as a group of tigers.

When it was first released, because there were too many blockbusters, the scheduling rate of "Gods and Demons Farm" was less than 10%. But four days after its release, the reviews are getting higher and higher, and it is called the most imaginative film of the year. The daily box office is also rising instead of falling, rising steadily, from the original bottom thirteen, and on the fifth day, it ranked second on the day's box office list with a super high daily box office of $50 million, only $2 million less than "X-Men", and pressed all blockbusters such as "The Amazing Spider-Man" and "Captain America" under him.

This time, "Gods and Demons Farm" is on fire!!

This Chinese blockbuster suddenly became the darling of many entertainment newspapers in North America, and its popularity was widely spread. Tang Zongshi's goal was achieved, and Datang International finally became famous in North America, the most developed country for films. Distribution companies in foreign film markets such as the European Union and Southeast Asia have contacted Datang International, hoping to obtain local distribution and screening rights.

In addition, investors have come to the door one after another, hoping to invest in "Gods and Demons 2", and they all have strong confidence in the box office of "Gods and Demons 2".

At this time, Lin Mu, who was still immersed in directing the filming of "Avatar", received an invitation from Disney Pictures, inviting him to attend the midnight premiere of "Iron Man".

"Iron Man" will premiere for the first time at midnight on Friday, November 11.

Both Disney and Lin Mu have great expectations for it.

On November 9, there was another click of gunfire in the studio of the "Avatar" crew in Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, accompanied by desperate shouts. The sound penetrated the studio, through the set, through the walls, and reached the ears of many tourists, causing them to stop.

"It seems to be a war movie, I've heard gunshots for a week......"

"That's not necessarily, a blockbuster of 400 million, it must be a battle, otherwise wouldn't it become a literary film?"

"I wish it was a war movie, like "Transformers", how hight!"

"Well, "Transformers 2" has been announced to be released worldwide on January 1, 2012, I'm really looking forward to it."

"Yes, although the character of the forest is not good, the movie is still quite good."

"What? Do you dare to say that Lin Mu's character is not good!! ”

"You're a brainless fan??"

"You're the brainless fan!!"

The atmosphere of the original discussion soon turned into an atmosphere of scolding the street, Wang Hei and Wang Fan scolded each other at once, and then gradually developed into scolding the street and adding fists and feet......

Some of the crowd watched strongly, some dissuaded, and some passively joined in the scolding, and there was chaos outside the set. In the end, it was the scenic security guards and the on-set security guards who arrived in time to pull the two sides apart and avoid the escalation of the conflict......

Soon, some good people posted this conflict on the Internet, which made many eyes focus on the set of "Avatar" again.

In the evening, Lin Mu and Robert Downey Jr. said goodbye to the crew, rushed to Changsha International Airport to fly directly to the United States, and after resting for a day to adjust their biological clock, they attended the midnight premiere of "Iron Man".

The premiere of "Iron Man" was scheduled for midnight premiere at Universal Studios Hollywood.

Whether it is Disney, Marvel or Lin Mu, this premiere is very much looking forward to, if it succeeds, then the sequel to "Iron Man", the "Thor" series, and the "Avengers" series will undoubtedly be successful. If it fails, there will be no Iron Man sequel, and there will be no Avengers......

And for Robert Downey Jr., this is a big challenge for him. If he fails, he will be beaten back to his original shape, and if he succeeds, he will gain fame and fortune, and his career will be able to cross several steps in a row.

In China, there are many filmmakers who pay attention to this movie at this time, this is the largest investment in film history, a co-production between China and the United States, and it is also an American hero comic, a screenwriter of Huaxia, and it involves Lin Mu, which is currently quite controversial, all of which makes this movie widely noticed.

Los Angeles. November 10, p.m. local time.

The night was full, and there was only a moon left in the sky and a dozen stars scattered in the sky, but at this time, Universal Studios Hollywood was brightly lit, and a large number of lights reflected the entire sky. The whole cinema is illuminated like a magical secret place, which is beautiful.

Outside the studio, it was already full of people at this time, and it was very lively!

The security guards of the cinema and the local police are sweating to block those enthusiastic fans, while the producers of Disney and Marvel, Lin Mu, the crew, and the actors gradually step out of the luxury car and walk up the steps into the cinema.

Among the group, the most eye-catching is the little Robert Downey who looks very unusual in his clothes, hair, and beard. waved to the fans, and then naughtily curled the corners of his mouth and raised his eyebrows, which caused those fans to scream wildly.

"Donnie~~~"

"Donnie~~~"

"Ahhh

Lin Mu couldn't help but complain when he heard it: "I'm still sugar muddy!" ”

But everyone is very happy, because this shows that this movie has conquered a lot of movie fans with the promotion of trailers and stills. This is a very celebratory event.

The premiere of "Iron Man" was arranged in the largest theater in Universal Studios, with a screen 20% larger than the average theater and 250 seats, and the equipment inside was naturally world-class.

By the time the entire theater was full, it was already 35. In addition to Lin Mu, the producer, director, and several important actors sitting inside. There are also 50 invited industry critics, as well as 170 fans selected at random. In another theater in this theater, "Iron Man" will also be screened simultaneously, but only ordinary fans will be received inside.

First of all, the Disney producer came to the stage to speak, and after a few brief words, he invited Lin Mu, who was sitting in the front row, Lin Mu is an important investor and screenwriter of this movie, and is naturally respected by Disney.

Then it was director Shane Black who came on the field.

"First of all, I would like to thank Disney and Marvel for giving me this opportunity to direct this film, and when I got the script for this movie, I felt that this is the movie I have always wanted to make, and in this movie, I poured most of my passion and effort into it, and I hope you will enjoy it."

Shane Black's pronunciation is slow and clear, exuding a touching and heartfelt power, and many fans and critics applauded it.

"Here, I also want to thank Mr. Lin Mu, it was he who recommended me to be the director of this film, if this film is successful, I think you should give Mr. Lin Mu a round of applause."

The applause rang out as scheduled, and this time the applause was for Lin Mu.

Lin Mu felt comfortable listening to it, and it was not in vain that he recommended him.

Later, when Robert Downey Jr. spoke, he won warm applause from the audience with his unique body movements and humorous language, and of course, he inevitably expressed his gratitude to Disney and Lin Mu.

After a little game on the spot, the movie officially began.

――――――――――

Disney's intro past ......

The beginning of the movie is the beginning of a standard Marvel hero character movie, with countless comic pages constantly flipping through......

In front of everyone is a desert area, with undulating hills on both sides, sandwiched between the two mountains is a desert, and on top of the sand and gravel, there are scattered low, drought-tolerant plants that can survive in the desert.

In the middle of the desert, there is a faint highway running through the desert, and at this time, the sound of vehicles is heard, and five military Humvees are speeding up with sand and dust in the distance.

A frivolous and joyful rock song sounded......

Inside one of the Humvees. Three soldiers in khaki camouflage uniforms sat in the car, helmets unremoved, fully armed, and solemn faces.

Then. A half-full wine glass that seriously spoils this atmosphere appears in front of the camera, and then the camera gradually shifts, and a person who is out of place with military vehicles, soldiers, appears......

He sat in a Hummer in a suit, sunglasses, a wine glass, chewing gum, and a leisurely Humvee, as if he were traveling.

The protagonist Stark came out, and fans and critics laughed. Robert Downey Jr.'s performance is outstanding, and he plays the boy Gotony Stark who doesn't take anything seriously.

"Downey's acting skills are good. This wine glass and wine are also well set up. Jenny, the film critic, muttered to herself as she jotted it down on her own paper.

From time to time, the co-pilot and the two soldiers next door turned their heads to peek at Tony Stark, full of curiosity.

"How does it feel like taking me to court-martial, it's not okay, what did I do wrong? Knock me off as soon as I stop? ”

The protagonist Tony Stark's first sentence made the audience laugh. Such people are so cute.

"You're in such a good shape, I can't help but stare at you."

"Am I normal like this?" (To be continued.) )
