Chapter 358

Tomorrow is 515, the anniversary of the starting point, and the day with the most benefits. In addition to the gift bag and school bag, this time's "515 Red Envelope Flip" must be seen, how can there be a reason not to grab the red envelope, set the alarm clock high~

In the next two or three days, all fans can be said to be like ants in a hot pot, eagerly waiting for the release of "The Lord of the Rings".

The fans who got the tickets were happy, but they were even more eager to look forward to the release. And fans who didn't get tickets also hope to see the movie after watching it and see if the movie is as magical as advertised.

And those entertainment media did not pay attention to the release on September 19 at this time, but on how much box office "The Lord of the Rings" has gotten so far.

On the first day, in the whole of North America, 9,000 screens, 4 shows a day (machine cooling), an average of 200 people were full, the ticket price was $15, and the box office sold 100% on the opening day.

The line calculated that the opening day received a total of $10.8 billion......

$10.8 billion a day??!!!

All the media went crazy!

Tynima is crazy!!

And Universal Corporation, the producer of "The Lord of the Rings," and its investors, have laughed their teeth out.

However, after all, this is the first day, and it has not yet been officially released, so no media outlet dares to say whether '3D movies' can rule the film market.

The news of the first-day revenue of "The Lord of the Rings" of $10.8 billion was swept all over the world through the Internet, and it caused a great sensation in an instant. Countless film companies around the world are red-eyed, not only "The Lord of the Rings", but also "Transformers" and "Harry Potter".

And Lin Mu was also chased and intercepted by dozens of media in China because of this incident. I want an interview. In the end, when Lin Mu accompanied Fan Ye to dinner outside, he was caught by a group of reporters with a keen sense of smell.

"Mr. Lin, do you think it is appropriate for 3D movies to implement high ticket prices?"

"The technology used in 3D movies is different. The cost is very high, so it is very normal to implement a policy of high fares. ”

The reporter caught the point. Pinched and asked, "You mean that the ticket price of "Transformers" will also be higher than the current ticket price?? ”

Lin Mu said frankly: "Indeed, the ticket price will be set at about 100 yuan, which is double the ordinary fare, but I dare to guarantee that this ticket price is definitely worth the money, because the difference between 3D and 2D is very big." ”

After asking a few questions about ticket prices, the reporters moved on to another question: "How does Mr. Lin feel about the $10.8 billion in opening day of "The Lord of the Rings"?" ”

"It's normal. After all, the publicity has started last year, the fame is enough, the technology and quality are up to standard, and the number of 3D screens has gone up, so it is natural to win so many box offices. Of course, I believe that "Transformers" will not be worse than it, and the tickets for the first day will be sold out. ”

"The day has finally arrived!!"

The Simpsons feel like today is their holiday.

With that precious movie ticket in hand, Simpson got in the car and headed straight to a neighboring city, 60 kilometers away.

"Be careful on the road~~~" the parents shouted behind them.

On September 19, "The Lord of the Rings", which countless fans have been waiting for, was finally officially released in North America. On the morning of the release, movie theaters with 3D theaters across North America were crowded.

The owner of the movie theater was smiling all over the place: "It's been a long time since it's been so lively!" ”

Because there are advance tickets, the cinema can be said to be orderly, and there is no long queue to buy tickets. 9:30 a.m. The first show of "The Lord of the Rings", which has more than 9,000 3D theaters in North America, has finally begun. The people who got the admission tickets happily walked into the theater.

"This is 3D glasses??"

"Looks a little bulky......"

After paying a $50 deposit, everyone got their 3D glasses and looked at them. While going in.

"Oops!!" Simpson pulled out all the money in his pocket, and it was only $20. Not enough for the deposit, at this time he was in a hurry. Simpson pleaded for a long time. The last beauty couldn't see it and helped pay for it.

"Everyone is a fan, and this little favor must be helped." The beauty said with a smile at the end.

Simpson was grateful: "Thank you. ”

The theater was quickly filled.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, the movie was finally officially released.

Soon Simpson exclaimed with other fans, the movie is too powerful! Not only is the picture extremely clear. And it's more layered than ordinary movies.

At the beginning of the movie, all fans were given a 'dismount': a battle unfolded, and when the sword struck, the blade of the sword seemed to pass in front of them, almost making everyone can't help but close their eyes and retreat. Then the sand and gravel and tree branches that were stirred up by the fight also poked into the eyes.

Later, as the movie gradually rolled out, magnificent rivers and mountains were displayed in front of fans, and of course, there were many layered fights.

When the movie ended, everyone couldn't help but applaud.

"Great!"

"It's so pretty!"

One day after "The Lord of the Rings" was released, the Internet was already flooded with countless movie reviews. Many fans are eagerly discussing their gains today.

"15 yuan fare, it's worth it!"

"The 3D effect is stunning!!"

"The movie is very good, there is no waste, I am finally relieved."

"I'm going to watch it again, twice!!"

Some people were also a little disappointed: "I feel that there are not as many clips with 3D effects as expected, and I hope that the other two 3D effects clips can be a little more." ”

All the film critics throughout North America have made extremely positive comments about 3D technology, considering it a revolutionary breakthrough that brings a new and shocking audio-visual experience to movie fans.

And the evaluation of "The Lord of the Rings" is also very high at this time, and in IMBD, its rating is 530,000. The rating is 95 points, which is super high. And its freshness is 98%, which means that countless people love it. Have an extremely strong viewing**.

The entire North American market is so highly rated. Those fans who were on the fence finally couldn't help but start buying tickets for the third, fourth, and fifth days. And those fans abroad are like being scratched by cats. It's itchy and unbearable, and I can't wait to take a plane to North America to see it first.

Then "The Lord of the Rings" can be said to be a success. On the second day, all tickets for the third day were sold out. And 70%, 60%, 40% of the tickets for the fourth, fifth, and sixth days have been sold.

There is no need for box office agencies to count box office data. The public knows how high the box office of "The Lord of the Rings" is this time.

100% in three days, which means that 300 million US dollars was earned in three days, and it is only in North America alone.

The daily box office champion, weekly box office champion, monthly box office champion or something, you don't need to watch it to belong to "The Lord of the Rings".

The media are crazy!

Fox, Columbia, Disney Studios, and other small Hollywood studios are all crazy with jealousy: Paramount, Warner, and Universal all have "The Lord of the Rings" and "Harry Potter" behind them. Gain countless fame and money, and have nothing of it. It's like playing soy sauce, it's too hard.

And Universal Pictures was already smiling all over the ground at this time, and wished in advance. Paramount and Warner are also confident in Harry Potter.

The big sales of "The Lord of the Rings" and the great prospect of 3D have deeply stimulated those companies that are working on 3D. At this time, Yang Shou also learned about the great popularity of foreign 3D. I can't wait to find the forest trees and want the forest to open 3D technology.

Although Yang Shou was a little snobbish, he also played an important role as an intermediary when obtaining distribution rights and negotiating with several film companies in the European Union, so Lin Mu generously provided technology other than the core technology.

Yang Shou raised his glass happily: "Mr. Lin, happy cooperation." ”

"Happy cooperation, I hope that when Mr. Yang chooses a cooperative company, he will choose those companies with technology and strength."

"Of course." Yang Shou praised it, but he didn't think so in his heart. It must be whoever gives the most money to whomever it is.

Lin Mu probably knew his thoughts, and reminded from the side: "From the perspective of the North American market, the cake of our Huaxia Film Market can be ten times bigger. The advantages of cooperation outweigh the disadvantages, so you should choose a better company to work with. ”

When Yang Shou heard this, he couldn't help but feel that he was only staring at his own one-third of an acre. The pattern is too small, and it is too far from the person in front of you. Thinking about it. He couldn't help but be impressed by Lin Mu, and raised his wine: "Yes." For Chinese films. ”

――――――――――――――

The popularity of "The Lord of the Rings" obviously greatly stimulated the Chinese film market.

On the official website of Hope Film and Television, the official hangs an unprecedented countdown to the release of "Transformers", which is extremely conspicuous.

At this time, the network and the official website forum have gathered countless fans a few days in advance, all kinds of discussions, all kinds of expectations, very hot!

The official website also announced the movie ticket price through major media and the Internet early: 100 yuan.

"Although it costs 100 yuan, I heard that 3D is very awesome, so I can still chew it."

"There are five days left, it's too hard~~"

"Movie tickets will be pre-sold tomorrow, so you must grab them."

"I went to the United States in advance to watch "The Lord of the Rings", which is great, and I hope "Transformers" can be so good!"

Just as the movie was about to be released, "Transformers" finally released the last trailer, and the Internet and reality were released together.

This trailer is the ultimate trailer before the release, 2 minutes long, a large number of battle scenes are cropped without revealing the plot too much, that kind of battle scene, the end is exciting.

Not long after the trailer was uploaded to the Internet, it attracted countless enthusiastic fans to click wildly, and after watching it, they were even more addicted and praised angrily!

On the second day, the TV screens on the streets with the most people in major cities in China kept switching to play the trailer of "Transformers", which caused countless people to stop and watch, and constantly impacted everyone's visual nerves.

At 0:00 a.m. on September 27, the online pre-sale system for "Transformers" movie tickets was finally fully launched.

As soon as it was launched, it encountered a crazy influx of countless fans!!

Five minutes later, on the premiere day of "Transformers", more than 4,000 screens and 800,000 seats across the country were sold out at once!

Tens of millions of fans across the country, 800,000 seats, is a drop in the bucket.

Two hours later, the tickets for the second day of the release were sold out again!

By the time the night cleared and the sun rose, 60% of the tickets for the third day of the release were sold, and 30% of the tickets for the fourth day were sold.

Sure enough, as Lin Mu said, there is no problem at all with tickets sold out in advance on the premiere day, and not only on the first day, but also on the second day.

The internet is boiling!

The media is also boiling!

Filmmakers, fans, and the entire entertainment industry seem to be in a state of extreme shock!!

The media invariably used "Transformers madness" to describe the day's pre-sales.

"More than 4,000 screens, 800,000 seats, 4 shows a day, ticket prices of 100 yuan, 3.2 billion yuan a day!!"

"That's making money, it's more robbing a bank than robbing a bank, and it's more money printing machine than a money printing machine!!"

However, when the reporter interviewed Lin Mu, Lin Mu said modestly: "Compared with the single-day 1 billion of "The Lord of the Rings", it is still far away. ”

That kind of humble voice that is underbeaten makes all the chairmen of film companies vomit blood for it: "It's too fucking pretending!! ”

The tickets for both days are sold out, which is 600 million yuan, only two days!!

Do you want people to live??

The so-called movie box office record in the past is simply scum!!

At this stage, "Transformers" no longer needs to be promoted.

Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed.

On the evening of September 30, "Transformers" organized a movie premiere, and many Chinese superstars were uninvited, making the star lineup of that night the largest in history, and outside the premiere venue, there were many enthusiastic fans.

The next day, October 1, is the National Day of the Chinese people.

The whole world celebrates together, with a total of 8 days off, during which there is also the traditional festival Mid-Autumn Festival.

Some people choose to travel and relax for themselves; Some people stay at home and live like pigs who eat, sleep, sleep, and eat...... Everyone has a different way of enjoying their vacation.

However, some of them have already decided on an entertainment program - watching "Transformers".

――――――――――――

Lianghuai Military Region.

Commander Liu: "Lao Zhang, go!" Today we're going to the movies. ”

Zhang Junchang was stunned: "Movie? ”

Commander Liu glanced at him: "Transformers? Anyway, we also contributed troops and weapons, and that kid said he wanted to show our military demeanor, so I wanted to see how it was, and see if that kid would smash our military image. ”

"What if he smashes it?" Commander Zhang asked curiously.

Commander Liu made a tiger face: "Then pull him here and let him pick up soap!" ”

"......" Commander Zhang, "Then there are no tickets?" ”

"I got that kid ready!!" After speaking, he proudly raised the ticket in his hand.
