On Halloween in November, "Chainsaw" was released simultaneously around the world, and this film could not be introduced in China, because it was an R-rated film, and plasma movies could not be expected to be broadcast in China.

Although the production cost is only two million, and then the publicity fund is invested eight million dollars, although it is not much, and it has to be dispersed, but the effect is still good, after all, Halloween in the West has the habit of watching horror movies.

And the amazing flip at the end of the first part really surprised the first audience, and then the word-of-mouth worked.

In the first week, North America achieved a box office of 30 million US dollars, and won the weekly championship in one fell swoop, which made Lion King Pictures very excited.

You must know that this kind of niche movies generally make money in the offline market, and now the box office in the first week alone has recovered its cost, which is really surprising.

Of course, just one movie can't say anything, if "Quick Rush" is also successful, it will show that the boss is really powerful at that time.

The most important thing is that both of these are series films, and they are both signed in advance, and the success of both films can be guaranteed next year.

At this time, "Chainsaw" also performed well at the global box office, with a global box office of more than $65 million in the first week.

This is a series of films that can be shot for a long time, and one film per year can be completely persistent, ensuring the advantage of Lion King Pictures on Halloween.

He directly sent three other scripts to Lion King Pictures, one of which was The Lord of the Rings, which he acquired in advance, so he got the film and television rights.

This would make six films, the first three "The Lord of the Rings" and the last three "The Hobbit".

And the second script is "Spy Shadow", which is adapted from one, and He Yuzhu acquired the film and television rights in advance.

Around the character of Jason Bourne, it is completely possible to expand and write, and develop another 007 series.

The last script is "Harry Potter", which is still a film and television copyright acquired in advance, among which the copyright of "The Lord of the Rings" is the most expensive, and the other two are relatively cheap.

So that tomorrow there are five films, and now it is necessary to start the preparation stage, and the director of "The Lord of the Rings" has been decided, after all, the script was bought from this director.

He frantically wanted to shoot this not to mention small, and he had been preparing for a long, long time, so He Yuzhu also directly asked him to be the director of the six films and signed a contract directly.

……

"Quick Thrill" was released on Christmas, and the publicity scale of this movie was very large, and it was impossible for He Yuzhu to position it as a B-level file, and the publicity resources given were increased to the maximum.

In this way, it was released simultaneously around the world at Christmas, including in China, and it was not edited.

During this period, the domestic review was relatively relaxed, and the scale of various domestic film and television works was also larger.

The domestic publicity is not small, after all, the Chinese people bought a Hollywood film company and produced the first movie, although "Chainsaw" is, but because it can't be released, many people have watched pirated copies.

is also surprised and the final reversal This time everyone is very curious about "Quick Thrill", although the domestic film market has not yet been cultivated, but this time it is different, many people have entered the cinema, especially young people.

The vehicle modification, racing and other elements of "Fast Rush" are very attractive to young people in China, but at the end of the film, some car accident scenes are still played for publicity and education.

And also put an advertisement on Volvo Cars, the safest car Yunyun!

Only then did everyone remember that this He Yuzhu acquired Volvo Cars!

And merged with Geely, He Yuzhu is now Geely's largest shareholder, but did not become the chairman.

In this way, the global box office directly exceeded 100 million in the first week, after all, the publicity was in place, but this also attracted the vigilance of other film companies.

Does an Oriental know Hollywood so well?

The previous MGM is finished, and now there is a new lion king, which will not have a small impact on them, and they must be prepared to block it.

At this time, Lion King Pictures announced next year's shooting plan, first carried out a wave of publicity, and prepared to launch five movies next year, and four of them are large-scale productions, and the investment scale is very huge.

The first is "Spy Shadow", because this is a spy movie, it is easier to shoot, so it will be released first next year.

Then whether "The Lord of the Rings" or "Harry Potter" depends on the progress; The directors of the two films were all decided, and then the casting began, especially for "Harry Potter", where the young actors were selected.

The Lord of the Rings, on the other hand, requires a lot of framing, but fortunately, the director is well prepared and has been preparing for a long time, and his progress is much faster.

Finally, there is the second part of "Chainsaw" and "Fast Rush", so as soon as the five films were announced, other film companies began to think about it.

The best thing to block now seems to be "Spy Shadow", there have been no spy blockbusters released recently, because there were too many spy movies before, and the audience has been aesthetically fatigued, and now Lion King Pictures dares to shoot related themes.

Several other companies combined and finally decided to use "Blade" to block it.

This is produced by Sony, who owns the film and television rights, and uses Marvel characters to block Lion King Pictures.

As for why Sony?

Sony bought Columbia Pictures, and they originally had some ideas for MGM Pictures, but He Yuzhu took the lead.

This time it was just to stop Lion King Pictures, if they could put Lion King Pictures in trouble, then they might still have a chance, so they decided to charge into battle.

As for the follow-up, what I have to see is that "The Lord of the Rings" has a large number of fans around the world, so there is no need to block it, as long as it is not filmed well, it will inevitably hit Lion King Pictures.

And it's useless to block, fans must go to see it, they can't stop fans from entering the cinema.

And "Harry Potter" is a children's book change, it is a fantasy type of movie, if you want to stop it, you need a blockbuster, who wants to collide with their own blockbuster?

Isn't that stupid?

Therefore, for the time being, only Sony will make a move, and everyone is still waiting.

He Yuzhu didn't know, if he knew, he would be very happy, although "Blade" is good, and it is the third part, it has a certain fan base, but there is still a gap with "Spy".

"Spy" is different from past spy movies, the fights in it do not have the slightest bells and whistles, they are completely fatal, and its rhythm is extremely tense and exciting, completely close to actual combat.

is no longer a handsome agent protagonist, but an ordinary-looking, but sharp-witted agent, who seems to be closer to reality.
