Chapter 254: Counterattack Against the Trend! (5th Update)

February is the Spring Festival in China, but it is not in Miguo.

February in the film industry is an out-and-out season.

Usually because of the various awards parties and the weather, people are reluctant to go to the movies.

It is precisely because of the choice of such a season that "My Fair Daddy" can get the number of 870 opening screens.

Even in March, they had less than 500 screens.

It's Sony!

It's Sony, which just bought Columbia and acquired theaters and hundreds of screens by itself!

However, Columbia didn't listen to the greeting at all, and even this time Nobuyuki Idei came forward in person, they just gave more than 200 screens.

The rest is still up to Nobuyuki Idei to find someone to contact by himself.

This is a great shame for Nobuyuki Idei, who has always been tough.

Not only him, but also Akio Morita, the chairman of Sony, was also very unhappy.

A group of their high-level executives in Japan and Sony all regarded the release of "My Fair Daddy" as a weapon for them to fight back.

The source of confidence is naturally a genius boy who has never failed.

But this mentality of the Japanese people, Mi Guo Hao Laiwu ridiculed again and again.

"Well, I'll admit that this young man named Xuluo has some skills, he is doing quite well in the TV industry, and I like 'Friends' too! But is there any connection between movies and TV series?"

"A Chinese, making up a nonsense script, let an ugly man like Robin Williams play a woman? Crazy! My grandmother doesn't want to see it!"

"The Japanese think they are omnipotent, so let them see! Let Hollywood teach them how to behave!"

"It's a pity that director Columbus is a very talented director, but he shouldn't work with someone who doesn't understand Hollywood's culture at all! Is it so good for the money of the Japanese people?"

"Xuluo is an x! Believe me! He wrote "The Cosmetic Room" and it made me sick! God knows why so many people still want to watch! And now he writes a comedy? Hahaha......"

「……」

"My Fair Daddy" was released in such a wave of doubts and ridicule.

Idei Shin'ichi didn't dare to fly to Mi Country, but for the sake of the breath in his heart, he still gritted his teeth and went to Mi Country and Los Angeles to attend the premiere.

At the premiere, Nobuyuki Idei was smiling, firmly believing that "My Fair Daddy" would be a success.

"I'm very good friends with Mr. Xuluo, and I trust him!"

"When we tried out "My Fair Daddy", we already believed that it was this year's hit!"

"Please read it and then talk about it, isn't this kind of baseless speculation a bit hasty now?"

"I'm still the same sentence, Mr. Xuluo's script is unparalleled in the world!"

"We at Sony are very good companies, and we work with great people, including Mr. Xuluo, including Mr. Robin Williams, including Mr. Chris Columbus...... There's no reason why I should fail!"

「……」

But after saying this, after following the crew members into the movie theater, Nobuyuki Idei was silently reciting six words the whole time.

"Nam no Amitabha!"

Don't doubt it, except for the slight difference in pronunciation, the words are exactly the same, and the meaning is exactly the same.

While reading, Shin's heart was baptized while Izui Shin'ichi.

Then he heard laughter.

A little bit.

One, two......

Later, the audience burst into laughter.

When the movie ended and the lights were bright, all the audience stood up and applauded and expressed their warmest gratitude to all the crew members.

"Well done!"

"Great!"

"It's a good movie!"

"They're wrong, you

Well done!

"Sony is great this time!"

「……」

Listening to these English shouts, Nobuyuki Idei almost cried.

When he came to the stage to accept everyone's applause, he forcibly refused to let his red eyes go.

The development of things is just as the excited Nobuyuki Idei imagined at this time.

The box office on the first Friday of "My Fair Daddy" reached $3.5 million!

The average box office per hall is close to $4,000!

If you switch to the summer file and Christmas and New Year file, the results are not very good, but in the super season of February, it is absolutely first-class!

And the good reputation is spreading rapidly.

The next day, Saturday, there were more people resting, and the box office climbed further, reaching $5.7 million, and the box office of a single theater exceeded $5,000!

So on the third Sunday, many movie theaters quickly joined in, increasing the number of screens to more than 1,500 in one go.

At the same time, "My Fair Daddy" also gave a beautiful report card - Sunday box office 10.7 million!

After adding so many movie screens, the box office of a single theater not only did not decline, but rose against the trend!?

What does this mean?

It shows that "My Fair Daddy" is definitely a good movie with box office explosion potential!

It grossed 19.9 million in the first three days of the opening weekend!

A full 7 million ahead of the second place!

And the second place is still a movie that is released all week!

Such an excellent result gave those who sang "My Fair Daddy" a hard slap in the face!

The people of the country can go against anyone, but they will never go against the God of Wealth!

Movie theater managers are starting to frantically call Sony Columbia, asking them to provide copies, and they will be joining in the next week!

Nobuyuki Idei only had time to make a good news call to Xuluo, and he frantically threw himself into work.

At this time, he took the power of "My Fair Daddy" and temporarily took over the resources of Sony Columbia.

not only greatly improved the exposure of "My Fair Daddy", but also spent a lot of money and carried out all kinds of publicity.

Robin Williams, Chris Columbus and other crew members have appeared on several well-known talk show interview shows in the United States, discussing interesting facts about "My Fair Daddy" with everyone.

At the same time, Nobuyuki Idei began to negotiate conditions with major theaters.

Only the theaters that have more films for "My Fair Daddy" can join the cooperation.

But Sony Colombia will give them better terms for this.

Again, that's the same sentence.

It is impossible for the people of the country to go against the God of Wealth.

Therefore, from Monday of the second week, the screen of "My Fair Daddy" was released with more than 2,300 screens, 2,500 on Tuesday, and 2,500 on Wednesday...... By Friday, it had risen to 3,000 at once, and there was no day that the number of screens was lower than 3,000 on the three days of the second week!

This is the season!

During the season, because there are no good movies, everyone is rotten!

As a result, "My Fair Daddy" broke this rule, it has a super high degree of topicality, a super high reputation, and a super good-looking plot and performance.

So it's normal for everyone to flock to support the scheduling of "My Fair Daddy".

It's the same with the audience.

In the absence of other good movies to watch, at least 5 out of 10 audiences who come to the cinema will choose to watch "My Fair Daddy".

Then most of them laughed and left with warmth.

Yes!

The focus of "My Fair Daddy" is not only comedy, but also "family warmth".

It is meant to make people understand the true meaning of family happiness in laughter.

It's a very family-friendly movie, and it's very positive

amount of films.

So that's why it impressed Chris Columbus and moved Robin Williams!

Otherwise, the two of them wouldn't have gone to help the Japanese people make movies for money.

They were also under more or less pressure before, and once thought that they had done something wrong.

But now, the box office and word-of-mouth are exploding, which fully shows that they have made the right decision again!

Because, the box office of the second week ......

$46 million!

That's more than double the first weekend!

Because of the great praise of word-of-mouth, movies with a higher box office in the second week than in the first week are not uncommon in Miguo.

But the box office bucked the trend and directly more than doubled the movie, but it has never been!

None of them!

"My Fair Daddy" has set an unprecedented record!

So when this box office result came out, almost everyone couldn't believe it!

Including Nobuyuki Idei.

Including Akio Morita who is waiting in Japan!

At the time when the box office statistics were announced, it was daytime in Japan, and it is said that the entire building of Sony's headquarters resounded with earth-shattering applause and cheers.

Akio Morita, who has always paid attention to appearance, politeness, and not losing his temper, did not blame his employees at all.

He took the phone and instructed the people below to get off work early today and go home early to accompany their families.

At the same time, Akio Morita directly called Xuluo to thank him first, and then praised Nobuyuki Izui fiercely.

As long as you have a little brain, you know what Nobuyuki Idei will bring to Sony's strategy in Mikuni by withstanding the pressure and coming up with such an extremely good movie!

From this moment on, Sony is no longer the nouveau riche from Japan!

It is an excellent company with its own thinking, excellent works, and excellent production team!

It has already gained a foothold in Hollywood!

Even the two presidents of Sony Columbia can no longer speak to the Japanese Benzene people with a condescending appearance!

Mi has always been a hero based on success or failure.

Since the adventure of the Japanese is successful, and it is a great success, then at least until the next attempt, they are the victors, and they have all the power of the victors!

"Mr. Xu, you are my eternal friend of Nobuyuki Idei!

"You don't know what kind of attitude those people of the Mi Kingdom have towards me now! What was their attitude before?"

"My Fair Daddy is more than just a movie! It is also a symbol of our common struggle!"

"It is a testament to your success and me, Mr. Xu, to our friendship, and to our perseverance!"

"Thank you! Thank you!

I'm so happy!"

"Even if it is another five, ten, twenty years, this moment will be engraved in my heart forever!

「……」

Nobuyuki Idei, who was on the phone with Xuluo, was full of wine talk.

Even weeping bitterly.

But Xuluo didn't laugh at him.

Those who can continue to persevere and forge ahead in the face of adversity should be respected everywhere.

Of course, as a genius, Xuluo also gained more respect!
