The Growth of the Richest Man

Chapter 94: “Smart: Ghost Records” Released

Spielberg sits quietly in the office as usual, watching the movie “Smart: Ghost Recording” sent by Zhang Yong quietly. I don’t know if I don’t watch it, but Spielberg is already sweating out of his back when he sees this movie.

Spielberg sweats not because he thinks this movie can surpass his last movie “Transformers”, but because this movie, although the plot is simple and the shooting props are also simple, the shooting There are very few people, but the horror of the “ghost image” is filmed without reservation, so that Spielberg, who likes to appreciate movies silently, suddenly thinks about his life. Doubt arises – it’s better to watch the movie with others, and watch it alone, you have to be scared of a heart attack.

Du Xiaoyu also used a laptop in the hotel to watch the finished “Smart: Ghost Recording”. This movie was made by herself as the female lead, but what she didn’t expect was that after the production was completed, the horror of this movie, even her heroine, could not accept it. Du Xiaoyu is already a heroine. He was so frightened that he hid in Zhang Yong’s arms and did not dare to leave.

The movie has been shot, and the next step is to release the movie in the United States. Because of the time of the bet, the Hollywood consortium hopes that the film will pass the trial as soon as possible. Otherwise, the longer it takes, the more time Zhang Yong will spend to promote it. After it is released, the possible box office will be reduced. The higher the level, the Hollywood consortium instructed the American Film Institute to approve the film in just two days, and then quickly arrange the film. After the film was approved, the film studios immediately began to make copies of the film, and within three days It has already been shipped to theaters across the United States, and in just the fourth day, it has already been released in the United States.

Originally, according to the horror plot of the film, the Film Association was going to give the film an R rating, which means that only adults can watch it normally. However, the Hollywood consortium is also worried that if the film’s box office declines in this way, it will not only be invincible, but Zhang Yong also has reasons to refuse to perform the contract, so after their internal negotiation, when the film is finally released, give It has a PG-13 rating, which means that anyone over the age of 13 can watch the movie normally.

And it is this change that makes those 13- to 17-year-old teenagers have no chance to come into contact with this type of horror films on weekdays. High growth.

When the film was first shown, it was not well-known, but because it had already involved a cross-border gambling contract at that time, under the promotion of Zhang Ling and others, Chinese groups all generously donated their money and went to watch the film. And people have a natural tendency to like to watch lively, and foreigners are no exception. Because many people did watch this movie, the local people also bought tickets and went to see this movie.

In addition, Zhang Yong’s “Ling Fan” team still has many students studying in the United States. These people also contributed a lot of box office revenue to the film.

The box office of a movie is good, not only by the box office on the first day, but also by the word of mouth of the movie. On the first day of its release, “Smart: Ghost Story”, with the support of the Chinese and the onlookers, was able to reach the box office of the order of 10 million US dollars. However, all the people who watched the movie felt that the movie had a high sense of reality, and their hearts were full of hairs. Insomnia dare not turn off the lights to sleep. Therefore, these insomniacs have expressed their inner fears on local forums, Twitter, Facebook and other channels, and also passed the difficult night after insomnia, which has greatly improved the popularity of the film.

The next day, under the propaganda of those insomniacs, the box office of the movie further improved. Although the movie theaters in the United States did not reach 100% attendance rate, the attendance rate of the popular period has reached 100%. %.

Starting from the third day, the attendance rate of “Smart: Ghost Recording” has further increased. At this time, it is no longer a matter of watching the time slot if the audience chooses, but to see when there are tickets, and the audience can only choose to have tickets. times to watch.

. . . . . .

People have fallen into the weird atmosphere of looking for “ghost shadows”. The realism of this movie also makes people who watch this movie often don’t think it’s just a movie, but treat it as a narrative. A factual documentary.

But this movie, after all, is still too scary, some teenagers, after watching this movie, imitated the plot in the movie, and began to search for ghosts, and then became suspicious of everything, UU Reading www. uukanshu.com is a soldier, even a little mental disorder. The American Film Institute has found that something is wrong. Finally, after a week of its release, it could not resist the pressure of public opinion, so it had to put aside the request from the Hollywood consortium and changed the film’s rating back to R again, prohibiting minors people watch. This change also caused the original box office to rise to nearly 40 million US dollars a day. There was a sudden stop, and it instantly dropped from 40 million US dollars a day to 15 million US dollars a day. After that, the box office continued to decline rapidly until the second week of release. By the end of the day, the box office had dropped to less than $1 million a day.

According to the local film policy in the United States, if the box office is less than $1 million for three consecutive days, the movie will be taken off the shelves. Because of such a low box office, if the movie still insists on releasing the movie, the theater will lose money. In this case, in The United States, where money is the only criterion, cannot be accepted. Therefore, Zhang Yong’s film was forcibly removed from the shelves when it was released less than 20 days ago.

In this country that attaches great importance to copyright protection, it is now off the shelves. Of course, this does not mean that this movie cannot make money, because many movies that are not released in theaters, or movies that are not very profitable in theaters, will be made into DVDs for sale. , this method is also very profitable. But for Zhang Yong, the box office revenue statistics of this movie are over, because the bet he made with Spielberg is only the box office revenue.

In the first week, the average daily box office of the film was about 25 million. In the second week, the average daily box office of the film was less than 4 million. Can such box office revenue really surpass Spielberg’s “Transformers”? ? Many people are very skeptical. Of course, these people do not include Zhang Yong himself.
