Chapter 555: Surprise and Crisis

When the box office of the premiere of "Spider-Man" came out, netizens were not only shocked, but also had some doubts.

Some people say that this movie is a box office, and some people say that the box office of this movie is more supported by the policies of relevant departments, which is "no blockbuster in the same period", and all Chinese movies are making way for "Spider-Man", and they are being praised and created a myth.

But when the early morning of June 22nd.

When the new round of box office data of "Spider-Man" came out, that small part of the doubts were instantly drowned out by countless exclamations.

[74 million! "Spider-Man" broke 100 million at the box office in two days! 】

"Huaxia Film Weekly", "CCTV Movie", "Huaxia Film" and other media published such an eye-catching title at the same time.

On the news headline, netizens stared blankly at the amazing box office of 74 million yuan on the second day of "Spider-Man", and were shocked to the point that their scalps were numb!

The box office on the second day was actually two million higher than the box office on the first day, and it is a movie of this level, which is already a miracle in the history of Chinese films!

No one could have imagined that the movie "Time Travel" was broken by "Spider-Man" not long after it created a box office milestone for Chinese films.

And this is the only film made by Chinese people in the history of China to top the list of Chinese films, and it is also the only film that has truly defeated Hollywood movies in the Chinese region.

……………………

Trailblazer special effects.

When Zheng He returned to China with his team, he almost enjoyed the treatment of a hero.

The Trailblazer's special effects headquarters is leaning against Huaxing, and a year ago, the alley was filled with countless reporters and media people.

Compared to half a year ago......

Zheng He has darkened a lot and lost a lot of weight, and at the same time, the original black and bright hair has been extremely thin, and a gust of wind blew, blowing a few strands of hair, as if they were their last stubbornness.

It was the "result" of years of staying in front of the computer, staying in the crew, working and learning day and night.

"For half a year, I sometimes only ate one meal a day, and except for that meal, I stayed in front of the computer every day to study......"

"Before filming "Spider-Man", and even before filming "Liao Zhai Painted Skin", everyone thought that Huaxia special effects were garbage, just five cents......"

"After seeing these remarks on the Internet, I am very unconvinced, what happened to Huaxia special effects? Are Huaxia special effects worse than Haolaiwu special effects? ”

"As long as there are enough equipment and machines, as long as you are serious enough to pay, I think Huaxia special effects can stand on top of the world, side by side with Haolaiwu special effects!"

“……”

In addition to the physical changes.

In the past six months, Zheng He began to become very confident, and when he looked at the reporters around him, he seemed to be as sharp as an eagle's eye, and his voice was full of pride and ambition.

At the time of "Spider-Man", he and his team had suffered too much, but they never thought of giving up......

Where there's a will there's a way.

The efforts of half a year have finally been reflected in countless praises and movie box office.

On this day, he was almost reading the movie reviews of "Spider-Man".

When he saw the words "special effects are awesome", "Fuck, domestic special effects are about to explode", "They really made it", "Pioneer special effects dick" and other words, he couldn't help but feel fluttering.

Zheng He was surrounded by countless media and walked into the company.

See familiar office ......

Zheng He had mixed tastes, and he almost couldn't help jumping.

Subsequently......

He saw his assistant rushing over excitedly with a series of cooperation intentions.

In fact......

Since "Liao Zhai Painted Skin", the pioneer special effects have been favored by countless directors and producers.

However, most of the contracts at that time were in the millions, and at most tens of millions.

On the third day after the premiere of "Spider-Man", countless intent contracts all became domestic blockbusters with a unit of 100 million, and even Zheng He once saw a blockbuster with an investment of more than 300 million, and special effects alone accounted for more than 100 million!

Looking at the cooperation intention contracts.

Zheng He could barely keep calm at first, but when he walked into the office, his whole body was full of joy and his whole body trembled with excitement.

Developed, developed!

Just take over the job and do it well, and you won't have to worry about eating and drinking in this life!

However, just when Zheng He was going to look at the contract over and over again and screen how the agreement should be made, he found that the phone rang.

After seeing the call prompt, he was shocked!

The call came from Zhou Yang!

…………………………

Compared to the madness of the Chinese box office.

"Spider-Man" is much calmer at the box office in Lao Mei.

The next day it grossed $4 million.

The volume of four million dollars is extremely ordinary in Hollywood movies, and it should not have been paid attention to by any filmmakers.

However......

When the theaters of the United States realized that "Spider-Man" was only played in one theater, and the advance tickets of that theater were all full, and the box office of "Spider-Man" began to be in short supply on the major movie networks, some high-level executives began to have a very strong interest in this movie.

After investigating the market, they believe that this movie is very marketable, and even has the potential to be as good as the superhero movie "Superman" that once swept North America.

AMD Headquarters.

As the world's largest cinema chain, AMD's product owner has a unique vision of the market.

Karin, as a product manager, has actually been paying attention to this movie since the premiere of "Spider-Man".

After all, Zhou Yang is a Chinese director she has been paying attention to, and when everyone else thinks that Zhou Yang's superhero movie is as tragic as "Lizard Man", Karin has the opposite idea.

So when the movie was released, she personally accompanied her children to the cinema to watch "Spider-Man", and after watching it, she was keenly aware that this was definitely a blockbuster movie.

Thereupon......

She applied for the first time at the headquarters and wanted to get the screening rights of "Spider-Man".

The headquarters took her application very seriously and agreed the next day.

Under the influence of the financial crisis, a group of filmmakers in Hollywood began to be conservative, either retreating or withdrawing gears, which once caused an embarrassing vacuum period in the film schedule in major theaters in June.

During the vacuum period, it is natural to supplement the movie.

And the market rating of the movie "Spider-Man" is quite high, within the intention of the high-level.

When Karin's application came down, she took out the phone as soon as possible and found the phone number of Xu Mei, the relevant person in charge of Huaxing.

When she said on the phone that she hoped to sign the screening rights of "Spider-Man", the other party was obviously very surprised, but she did not agree directly, but said that she would ask Mr. Zhou.

Karin was not in a hurry, and after hanging up the phone, she sent a sample agreement to the other party's mailbox.

More than ten minutes later, the other party quickly returned the phone.

"We agree to authorize!"

Karin nodded.

This in itself was to be expected.

However, just when she was about to sign an electronic agreement with the official "Spider-Man", she instantly asked her subordinates to start planning the promotion of "Spider-Man......

She received a call from the leader.

"The senior management of the DV company just contacted us and said that they wanted us to choose between "King Kong Tiger" and "Spider-Man......"

"Wait, how did they know we were going to sign Spider-Man? And "Spider-Man" was released first, so it doesn't conflict with "King Kong Tiger", right? ”

"Let's choose "King Kong Tiger", the conditions offered by the producer DV company are very tempting, "Spider-Man", although the quality of this movie is very good, but in the general environment, it is difficult for it to survive......"

"It's strange, Zhou Yang is a Chinese director, so can he be crushed to death by Hollywood?"

"I don't know why, but I heard a news that DV executives not only talked to us about the choice of "King Kong Tiger", but also talked about "King Kong Tiger" with Regal, EMark and EPLEX and other theater chains......"

"The four major movie theaters in the United States are talking?"

"Yes."

"In my opinion, "Spider-Man" is indeed a very high-quality movie, and it also has the potential to be a hit that is not inferior to any superhero movie!"

"But, in a sense, Star Ocean Cinemas, the theater where "Spider-Man" is located, is also our competitor, isn't it? No one wants to give their cake to someone else......"

“……”

After Karin heard the news, her face frowned, and then she glanced at the contract on the table very regretfully, and after weighing it again, she finally called Zhou Yang again.

………………………………

On the morning of June 23.

Zhou Yang woke up from his sleep.

I was woken up by the sound of the phone, and the whole person was a little confused.

Last night, some theaters in Delaware came over and chatted with Zhou Yang and others about the licensing of "Spider-Man", and everyone chatted late, so Zhou Yang inevitably felt a little tired.

The call was made by Xu Mei.

"Lao Mei's cinema chain has said that it will terminate cooperation with us? Didn't we have a good conversation yesterday? ”

"King Kong Tiger is about to be released, and I heard rumors that it seems that King Kong Tiger has said hello to Lao Mei's four major theater chains...... In the early hours of this morning, I was almost able to sign a licensing agreement with AMD......"

After Zhou Yang took the phone, the expression on his face began to become solemn.

It's not good news on the other end of the line......

Or rather, the news is bad.

The cooperation agreement that was talked about yesterday was about to be signed this morning, and the person in charge regretted it.

The authorization of the four major cinema chains has not been signed in.

"Mr. Zhou, what should we do next? Do you want to expand the Star Ocean Cinema Line again? Xu Mei on the other end of the phone asked again after hearing Zhou Yang's silence.

"Didn't any of them sign with us?"

"Yes, yes, basically they are all small cinema chains, and DV companies can't look down on these hundred, or dozens of small cinema lines......"

"I'll talk to these theater people personally." Zhou Yang was silent for a long time after listening, and finally nodded.

"Okay, but, Mr. Zhou, if the major companies of Haolaiwu block us by such absolute means, I'm afraid it will be really difficult for us to survive here......"

“……”

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Yang washed up casually, and when he was about to return to the conference room and chat with these theater owners, he saw Xu Mei coming over in a hurry, her face was very ugly.

"Mr. Zhou, no, the DV side is starting to let these small theaters choose one or the other...... They're going to drive us to death! ”
