It's the end of June.

In order to compete for this rare summer vacation, major Hollywood studios have launched hand-to-hand combat. In order to win over their respective audiences, the major movie theaters can be said to be full of tricks, such as "buying tickets with prizes", "watching movies with prizes", "star interaction", "zero distance contact between the leading actor and the audience" and so on. All the tricks that can attract the audience to enter are almost all used.

No way, there are so many movie theaters in Los Angeles that you can see the new movies you want to see anywhere, anytime, anywhere. Even a U.S. president once said, "If I put up my campaign posters in front of movie theaters all over Los Angeles, I'm sure my opponent will have to wait 100 years to win!" ”

This shows how fierce the competition in the film industry is. Just to control the theater chain, he used his strength to eat.

Compared to the average summer vacation movie, several blockbusters launched by Hollywood this year are quite evenly matched. These include the war blockbuster "Saving Private Ryan", the sci-fi blockbuster "The Peerless Apocalypse", and the monster blockbuster "Godzilla". In addition, there are some excellent American films produced at low and medium cost, such as "Truman's World" and "Soul Catcher", which are mainly comedies and thrillers, and their purpose is mainly to attract American teenagers, but compared to these blockbusters, their situation can only be said to "survive in the cracks".

At the door of a movie theater, Yi Feiyang carefully observed the flow of people coming and going in the movie theater, analyzing the audience watching the movie and their views on each play.

Looking at the posters posted around, almost all of them are occupied by two American blockbusters, and many viewers are also buying tickets for "Saving Private Ryan" and "Peerless Tribulation". Yi Feiyang vaguely heard them talking about the two drama stars Tom Hanks and Bruce Willis, comparing them over and over again, from appearance to personality, to private life, and even the lace news published in the newspapers...... In the end, it was inferred that the box office of that drama would be a big win.

Others don't know the way, but Yi Feiyang knows it very clearly.

The runner-up in the 1998 North American box office list was "Saving Private Ryan", a film directed by the great director Steven Spielberg and starring Hollywood star Tom Hanks, with a box office of nearly 480 million US dollars. ”

The 1998 North American box office winner was "The Greatest Apocalypse", a disaster film directed by sci-fi director Michael Bay and starring Hollywood screen tough guy Bruce Willis, which topped the global box office with nearly 560 million. It is characterized by a macro science fiction scene, which is very powerful for the rendering of human nature in times of disaster.

In addition, it is interesting that in terms of the domestic box office in North America, "The Peerless Tribulation" lost to "Saving Private Ryan", and it seems that the appeal of the great director Steven Spielberg in the local area is still super strong.

As for the monster movie "Godzilla", although it is still a science fiction film in terms of subject matter, it surpasses most monster genres in terms of connotation. A new sci-fi model has been formed.

It can be seen that compared with Hong Kong films, which are declining, Hollywood movies are not only blooming, but also constantly exploring and improving.

As a Chinese, there is no one who doesn't like Hong Kong movies, but unfortunately, the development mechanism of Hong Kong films is too backward, and in the end it cannot form an industrial model like Hollywood......

Unlike Hollywood, where there are various types of films, complete techniques, and more importantly, Hollywood implements a director system, the director is the big brother, you stars are just a tool, if you want to get a high salary, OK, you will work hard to drill into the 20 million club, so that the director will not be stupid enough to put all the production fees on you......

After coming back to his senses, Yi Feiyang personally felt the fierce competition in Hollywood's summer vacation files in the United States, not to mention anything else, as soon as these two or three blockbusters come out, other low-cost productions will become cannon fodder nine times out of ten.

In contrast, his upcoming "Blair the Witch" doesn't know if he can go against the sky and create a new miracle like in his previous life.

At this moment, someone who has never believed in fate has to mutter: "God forbid!" ”

……

The entrance to the "Old Corn" cinema.

Yi Feiyang didn't understand why the black father wanted to name this movie theater "Old Corn".

may be hoping that his theater can be as full and nutritious as old corn.

Five movie theaters, including "Old Corn", will release Yi Feiyang's carefully crafted thriller "Blair the Witch" tonight.

As the second pot of gold to rob Hollywood, Yi Feiyang, the "second movie dealer", is full of hopes for this play, hoping that it will have a high box office and a good reputation, so he did not hesitate to spend his most financial resources to decorate the movie theater, and at the entrance of the theater, eye-catching banners were hung to attract customers, and hundreds of movie posters were printed and posted everywhere.

But do these work?!

Nearly an hour before the film was screened.

As the fat man Gao Jiabao, who is Yi Feiyang's nemesis, is an important person tonight...... Conductor!

In the fat man's own words, he is not at ease when the movie ticket money is held by others, and it is better to manage it himself.

Of course, before this, Yi Feiyang had already taught him an important lesson in "looking forward to the box office".

"I've roughly calculated that we now have five theaters showing this movie, and on average, a theater has a capacity of 100 customers, and a customer needs to spend $2 on a ticket, and the revenue for a movie is $1,000; According to 5 screenings per day, the total box office per day is 5,000 US dollars; And the total number of days we leased was 30 days a month, so by the end of the month, the total box office was $150,000! ”

"Of course, $150,000 is not enough to repay Master Huo's loan, but don't worry, when the reputation of our film comes out, I'm afraid that those film companies won't come to the door to ask for the source of the film? When the time comes, we will sharpen the knives and slaughter one by one, and slaughter a pair of pairs! A lot of banknotes are put into your pockets, and you're afraid that you won't have any money to fish?! ”

Yi Feiyang's words instigated the fat man's blood boiling, and he immediately roared: "Believe you once, I'll collect the money!" ”

In order to show his ability to collect money, the fat man worked hard to practice collecting money and distinguishing counterfeit banknotes. Its ability has been unanimously praised by Yi Feiyang and others.

Now the time to test the ability of the fat man has finally arrived, Yi Feiyang looked at his watch, footsteps sounded, and the fat man, who was the first conductor tonight, came!

Yes, here he comes!

Yi Feiyang turned his head to look, but was startled.

I saw the fat man with feathers on his head, a bone chain around his neck, his chest exposed~ breasts, a shy fat belly, dressed as an Indian native, and he almost played with a javelin in his hand.

"How did you do that, why did you dress up like this?"

"It's called packaging, you know? I asked my black daddy, and he said that there were more Indians in this area besides blacks and whites, so I had the idea to dress up like this...... Trust me, my outfit is sure to create an unusual sense of intimacy! ”

Yi Feiyang was completely defeated by the whimsy of the fat man!

"It's almost time, you get ready, maybe there will be a lot of people in a while, you have to be smart!" Yi Feiyang reminded.

"Don't worry, I'm the best at collecting money!" The fat man happily walked into the ticket room and began to prepare.

Little by little, time passed.

A wide banner fluttering in front of the cinema in the night breeze reads: The new thrilling film "Blair the Witch" is grandly released tonight!

On the nearby wall, there are also movie posters, which shamelessly delete the original authors Dennis and Adjado, and replace them with the words screenwriter Yi Feiyang and director Yi Feiyang.

In fact, since the purchase of all copyrights, including the right of authorship, what Yi Feiyang has done is to make post-editing of this unfinished play, and then make up a few shots where the plot is not smooth, and make some reasonable modifications according to the content of this play he has seen in his previous life, so to speak, the finishing touch.

In the face of such banners and posters, people were not attracted, and there were many people at the door of the cinema, which made this upcoming movie seem unusually "depressed".

Yes, depression, very depression!
