Chapter 4621 Global Box Office
A group of Michaels began calling on American movie fans to boycott movies from the five major movie giants.
"We have no right to choose now, and they ignore our protests, so all we can do is protest with our feet. Until they don't give us a reasonable explanation, we will definitely not watch their movies! Otherwise, This time they just force us to choose the movie they want to watch, and next time, they may force their ideas into our minds. This kind of thing is absolutely unacceptable. I call on everyone to watch "The Legend of Sword and Fairy". Biography 3: The Hmong Crisis!" said Michael Jackson.
"I am a basketball player. Of course, now I have retired and become a businessman. As a businessman who has just entered the industry, although I have worked with Lin Feng for several years, I don't know much about Chinese culture. I think this It is an opportunity to understand ancient Chinese culture. As we all know, China has a long history and has brought many brilliant civilizations. This is a window for us to understand Chinese culture!
"I am a director and have been serving these giant film companies. I never thought that their faces are so ugly! This is an open market, a global market. We should compete fairly and use our Works to attract audiences, to please audiences, rather than forcing audiences to choose their movies through monopoly means, this is an insult to movies."
"I don't understand the scoring standards for movies. I know that a movie that can make the audience go to the cinema is a good movie. And "Legend of Sword and Fairy 3: The Miao Crisis" is a good movie that can attract the audience to the cinema." Michael -Tyson said with a low growl.
Under the call of a group of Michaels, tens of thousands of demonstrators went directly to the theaters controlled by Lin Feng and Ellison to start buying tickets. In order to cope with the crisis of "Legend of Sword and Fairy 3: Miao Crisis" being removed from half of the screens in the United States, the Forest Screening Room decided to temporarily increase the number of screenings and open midnight screenings. "Legend of Sword and Fairy 3: Miao Crisis" will be broadcast 24 hours a day.
Screened 24 hours a day. This has never happened before in the history of American cinema. Although there are midnight shows, the movies usually end around 2 a.m. As for the 24-hour rotation, that has never happened before. It can be said that "Legend of Sword and Fairy 3: The Miao Crisis" created a precedent in the history of American film broadcasting. So, will anyone watch the movie this late at night?
Unexpected! Although this has reached the late night venue. But because late-night tickets were 50% off, many viewers still came to watch. For America, nighttime is almost non-existent. Looking at the Earth from the International Space Station, it is basically pitch black in Asia late at night, except for a few countries. The same is generally true in Europe. And in the United States. Basically, half of the country is lit up all night long.
Of course, even if it’s a city that never sleeps, you won’t spend all your time watching movies. After all, the United States is a diverse country, and its citizens have so many entertainment activities that they will not waste time watching movies.
But this time, under the call of many Michaels. Many movie fans have chosen midnight movies.
The direct result of this is that half of the screens in the United States controlled by the "Forest Screening Room" are basically in a 24-hour state. There is an endless stream of people coming to watch the movie. Basically, after reading it, the evaluation of it is not only unanimously praised, but it is basically unanimously praised.
As for the many American film giants, their movies are not bad. In Lam Feng's "history", they were basically blockbuster movies, especially "I Am Legend", which was a blockbuster of the year. However, due to the mistakes of many movie giants, scheduling problems, and the resistance of American movie fans, its box office was extremely dismal. day’s box office. Basically they are all within 10 million. Although its box office is already pretty good, compared to ordinary movies, its box office is pretty good. But from the perspective of many movie company giants, this box office is too bleak. Their combined box office is less than 10,000. However, Lam Feng's "Legend of Sword and Fairy 3: Miao Crisis" grossed over 100 million at the box office. Even if they have chosen to remove their movies, they still can't compare to "Legend of Sword and Fairy 3: Miao Crisis" which has been released for many days. This has to be said to be a shame.
"If this continues, we will become a joke!" Li Jianxi frowned, "We must come up with a countermeasure. Since Lin Feng invited a group of Michaels, then we also have to invite a group of stars to promote our movie."
Many movie giants expressed their deep approval. Originally they didn't think it was necessary to invite celebrities to the stage, but now Lin Feng invited a group of Michaels to completely turn the whole situation around. Naturally, they cannot fall behind. But they didn't expect that when they invited many celebrities to the platform, they were rejected. In the entire United States, no celebrity is willing to go to the platform. Including Will Smith, the star of "I Am Legend", he also refused to go to the stage to promote "I Am Legend" because his son was about to be born.
This naturally annoyed the major movie giants. But for many stars, they would never stand on the platform at this time. The direction of public opinion now stands on the side of the fans, and they are all criticizing the monopoly of the major movie giants. Secondly, there are the calls of Michael Jackson and Michael Bay, so they will not stand on the platform. Otherwise, this will not only offend American fans, but also cause conflicts with major stars. So, they can only refuse to stand on the platform.
And the refusal of many stars undoubtedly made the five major movie giants extremely embarrassed. They did not expect that many stars would actually refuse them. This is absolutely unexpected. While they were thinking hard about how to solve the current situation, "Legend of Sword and Fairy 3: The Miao Crisis. Created another success. The box office on the fourth day did not drop but rose, reaching 130 million US dollars. This is an unprecedented peak.
Not only that, Canada in the North American market also achieved gratifying box office results. After four days, the total box office was 120 million US dollars. Although it cannot be compared with the United States, Canada is sparsely populated after all. It is the second largest land area in the world, but the total population is only 10,000. A box office of 120 million US dollars is already very good.
When many movie giants did not come up with a countermeasure, Lin Feng launched a preferential plan. Audiences who buy two tickets for "Chinese Paladin 3: Miao Crisis" at one time, or those who buy movie tickets for the second time, will receive "Second World" game coins (market value RMB).
This promotion plan is undoubtedly very popular. Although not every movie fan is a "Second World" game fan, the coexistence rate of the two is extremely high. Basically, more than half of the movie fans are "Second World" game players! This game coin is still quite attractive to everyone.
After all, movies can be watched at home on DVD, but games don't have DVDs. Game coins are already very attractive. Under this impact, the box office of "Chinese Paladin 3: Miao Crisis" has been rising.
The US box office has skyrocketed every day, starting from 300 million, 500 million, 600 million, 700 million, and rising day by day, making everyone who sees it tremble with fear. Looking at its box office figures, it seems that watching movies is free, and American citizens go to the cinema every day.
In the world, Europe has been removed from the shelves. Because its theme is completely unsupported, the total box office barely reached 10,000 US dollars. It can be regarded as a failure. In Asia, it barely exceeded 10,000 US dollars. Among them, Dubai contributed more than half of the box office. As for Africa, it also contributed 10,000 US dollars. Although it seems small, it is already very good for Africa.
In the other hemisphere, South America still has poor box office. The total contribution is only 10,000 US dollars. As for Australia, Australia and New Zealand, although the total box office is already very high relative to the local area, it is only 10,000 US dollars in terms of global proportion.
Added together, it is only 185 million US dollars. For ordinary movies, this box office is not bad. But for "Legend of Sword and Fairy 3: Miao Crisis" with a total investment of 300 million US dollars, it is a complete failure. Fortunately, there are box office in North America and China around the world. After half a month, the Chinese box office has reached an unprecedented height.
7.8 billion RMB! When I first heard this number, almost no one dared to believe it. This box office is too exaggerated. How can a country have such a high box office? This is completely comparable to the North American market, or even more. But this is the fact. China has 300 million "Second World" members, and these members basically went to the cinema to watch "Chinese Paladin 3: The Miao Crisis", which brought in 7.8 billion yuan in revenue. And this 7.8 billion yuan, calculated at today's exchange rate, is approximately equal to 100 million US dollars. 100 million US dollars! In other words, not counting the North American market, not counting other markets, the Chinese market alone is enough for Lin Feng to recover his costs and make a fortune.
Not counting the North American market, this is already 1.195 billion US dollars! It is only 700 million US dollars away from breaking the total box office of "The Lord of the Rings". 700 million US dollars is an insurmountable gap for most movies. But think about the North American market. In the past few days, the box office has exceeded 500 million US dollars. It is basically a matter of time before "The Lord of the Rings" is surpassed.
Half a month later, the North American box office shocked the world again.
