March 20, us time, is the first day of hero's official release at the forest cinema. It's 7 p.m. and it's the first time to show two movies, but the ticket price is half of the price of the "Oscar League" cinema. This ticket price, as well as the gimmicks raised by hero, is absolutely a temptation, an irresistible temptation, for all audiences who like super powers.
The direct consequence of this temptation is that the tickets for the movie that starts at 7 p.m. are sold out when it is announced at 9 a.m. All the tickets of 1028 cinemas were sold out in advance for three consecutive days. However, more and more spectators came in admiration, left in disappointment, and asked for a vote. As a result, the scalpers, who had been extinct for a long time in the United States, only appeared at the opening ceremony of a few major events, appeared at the premiere of hero, holding up tickets and shouting to sell them.
The original ticket price of 5 yuan for a movie was fired to 20 or even 30 dollars. Although the ticket price is still not high, but its increase is undoubtedly a record of American film ticket price. It's been a long time. It's been a long time. The audience will buy high price tickets.
This scene, no doubt let the "Oscar League" many companies for the consternation. They never thought that "hero" would be so popular that the audience would be willing to buy high price tickets. In the face of this situation, many reporters will not let go of this news hot spot and interview those who buy tickets one after another.
——Why buy tickets to see hero? It's very simple. It was shot by Spielberg, and it's 23. It's so exciting. Especially speaking of powers, I like "Superman", "Batman" and "Spider Man" best. I want to see it this time. Besides, the ticket price is only $5, which is too cheap. If it doesn't look good, the loss is not big.
The audience's answers are understandable. After all, they are mainly for the low ticket price of hero, which is justifiable. But those who buy high ticket prices are hard to be accepted by Joseph and others. Journalists who are in charge will not let these people go.
——Why buy expensive tickets? I saw so many people rushing to see hero, so I bought tickets to see it. Join in the fun! In any case, the ticket price of "forest film studio" has been promised to keep low price. If you pay a little more, you will go to other cinemas to see two movies.
Spurt blood! Such an answer no doubt let the well out of the deep, Joseph and others gush blood. But they have nothing to worry about. They don't believe that the hero will be so wonderful. As long as one of them is not wonderful, they will make hero come to an end! The "Gunners" under their control can absolutely curse "hero" like "bear". Spielberg will retire and Lin Feng will jump.
Well deep out of the people's resentment, Lin Feng naturally have no time to take into account. At the moment, taking advantage of the booming ticket sales of the premiere of hero, Lin Feng launched an unprecedented set of tickets on the first day. Each set of tickets for the 23 series of hero sells for $100.
Package? He's funny. What's the package ticket for the movie? The real fans are watching his Houston Rockets! Will someone buy a set of tickets to watch?
As a result, to the dismay of Jingshen Chuzhi and others, 100000 tickets were sold in a short time before 7 p.m. In the next 23 days, Lin Feng and Ellison's "forest cinema" have steadily reaped $10 million in box office revenue. This achievement, though far from being comparable with the films like Titanic, is undoubtedly a good omen for the forest film studio.
And in this kind of anticipation, the premiere of the first and second series of heroes officially began.
Hum, I'll see what's good about your hero—— Inoue and others also came to the flagship cinema of Los Angeles, a "forest film studio", which can accommodate 5200 people and has 16 projection halls. Among them, the main projection hall can accommodate 1028 people at one time, which is worthy of the first in the world. Of course, since the main projection hall can accommodate so many audiences, the screen is naturally the largest in the world. Although it is only an ordinary 2D screen, it is equivalent to or even larger than the giant screen of i-Max. 1028 viewers can feel the effect of the whole screen. This technology is undoubtedly from "i-MAX" company of Lin Feng. In terms of screen size, it can be said that "forest film studio" is the only one in the world. Therefore, in addition to the world's largest home screen, the screens of the other 1027 "forest film studios" are also ahead of the industry, which are a little larger than the cinemas under the "Oscar League".
Of course, this is what Lin Feng said modestly. It's more than twice as big.
Hum! Flashy but not real“ Joseph, the president of 20th century fox, disdains to say. What's the use of big screen? What matters is the source, the movie, not the size of the screen. No matter how big the screen is, if the movie is not good, it will be zero.
But Joseph couldn't eat the grapes on his face. He said that the grapes were sour, but there were shouts of surprise in his ears. For most American viewers, it's the first time they've seen such a large screen. It can be said that they didn't come here in vain today just for the screen.
Hum, a group of bumpkins who have never seen the world—— Well deep out of the side of the cold hum.
Japanese boy, we country bumpkins, I tell you, when I saw the movie, you were not sucking—— The middle-aged audience, who heard the murmur from the well, said with a bad face.
When he heard that, his face suddenly froze and he wanted to attack, but he thought of his identity. Moreover, if he argued with an audience in this flagship store, it would be a shame. Of course, more importantly, this is the flagship store of "forest film studio". Today is the premiere of "hero", and Lin Feng will definitely appear. At that time, he wants to know that Lin Feng will definitely help the audience. At that time, he will be ridiculed by Lin Feng. He will not do such a stupid thing. As a result, when the well came out from the bottom of the well, he hummed for a few times and then kept silent.
The Japanese are so timid that they can only do something furtive—— The middle-aged American audience was sarcastic. However, after that, I stopped paying attention to the interview with the main actors and directors before the premiere.
Gee—— When Joseph saw the actors of heroes who were being interviewed on stage, he was stunned instinctively. He seems to know a few of these actors.
"What's the matter, Joseph?" Well deep out of the view, Joseph a look of meditation, quickly asked.
"It's nothing. I just feel that these actors seem to have met somewhere. I just can't remember for a moment." Joseph shook his head, his face full of thought.
After a 15 minute interview, the first film of hero finally began.
"Spielberg, at last. I've been looking forward to it for a long time Lin Feng naturally sits in the cinema. Because of the limited time and the fact that Lin Feng had seen it before, he took a few glances at it. However, Lin Feng is really looking forward to how different this $800 million hero is from the original.
From the first second of the show, Lin Feng was attracted. Although the actors are the same actors and the scenes are the same as those in Lin Feng's memory, the whole movie is totally different. If it wasn't for Lin Feng who gave the script and provided the actors, I'm afraid Lin Feng really thought that this "hero" was a new movie made by the original crew. Yes, the movie. The whole picture of the movie is full of Hollywood style, and you can't see that it's a TV play, it's a movie.
The tight plot, enough beautiful men and women, the suffocating rhythm of the film, and a lot of dazzling special effects make Lin Feng, the producer, can't believe that it will be a TV play, not a long film.
"Lin, why don't you spend 800 million dollars in vain?" Spielberg said confidently. This "hero" cost Lin Feng 800 million US dollars, but his heart has been uneasy. Although he is very confident in it, but before the official release, he is always a little worried. Especially others worry that Lin Feng will not be able to recover the cost. After all, for a businessman, the most important thing is to make money. Can a TV play make money by spending 800 million dollars on advertising?
Originally, Spielberg was still worried about how Lin Feng would make money, but Lin Feng proposed to play it in the cinema. Although the ticket price is very cheap, only $5, it is enough. Lin Feng owns 1028 cinemas, with a total of 8000 movie screens and 2.4 million seats. The ticket price for each seat is $5. If a movie is shown once, it will have a box office income of $12 million. According to the Hollywood convention of showing about 15 days on average, a movie plays at least three times a day. According to Spielberg's average attendance rate of 60%, a movie "hero" can earn US $320 million at the box office.
A movie can earn US $320 million at the box office. Although it's not enough to beat "Lord of the rings 3", "Pirates of the Caribbean" and other movies, it's already a pretty good box office. But it's not really surprising. It's not what Spielberg expected. What Spielberg expects is that there are 23 heroes in total. If the average box office revenue of each one is about $200 million, then one hero will bring Lin Feng $4.6 billion. It is six times the investment cost of Linfeng.
Of course, all this is just the ideal number that Spielberg predicted. In fact, many other factors, such as money, disdain for movies, have to be deducted; For example, because I suddenly don't want to see it, for example, because I don't have time to watch it at work, etc., but Spielberg conservatively estimates that the worst box office of "hero" can be more than US $100 million, and that can earn at least US $2.3 billion. It's far more than the return on investment of any TV series. Now, of course, hero is not a TV play, it's a movie.
Now, Spielberg is looking forward to the height of hero. Whether it can create a miracle.
However, at this time, the screams and exclamations of all the audience have proved that hero is a very successful "movie".
Superpowers have always been a favorite of American audiences. And in this "hero" inside, has the super ability is surpasses all previous movie all super ability. There are not only "superhuman" who can fly, but also superhuman who can predict the future, superhuman who can pause time and transfer time and space, superhuman who can copy other abilities, superhuman who can cure themselves, etc., which makes all the audience addicted at one time. In particular, the whole special effects picture is extremely excellent, although it is not the top special effects of Hollywood movies, but it is absolutely above the standard.
In particular, what makes the audience infatuated is that all the super powers in it are ordinary people like them. They have seven emotions and six desires. After they have super power, they don't think about how to save the world, but have different ideas. Some people don't want to be known, some want to unify the world, some want to use it, some don't care, and so on. This gives all the audience a completely different feeling from watching this kind of superhuman movie before.
The only feeling of all the audience is reality. As if these people were living among them.
The first two of heroes are finally over. Since this is the result of Spielberg's compression and adaptation of the first two seasons of TV series, each "hero" has 80 minutes, and the total of the two is 160 minutes. When the two films are finished and the headlights in the projection hall are turned on, most of the audience have not recovered from the plot of hero.
After a long time, the crazy applause came out.
"Hero! hero! Hero All the audience are calling for the word "hero". I don't know whether they are calling for the film "hero" or shouting for the heroes on the screen who shot the film and brought them such a wonderful film.
"Great, this is the best movie I've seen this year!" One of the audience stood up and yelled.
"Yes, it's wonderful!" The rest of the audience also stood up and clapped desperately.
No way, they have been attracted by the stories of "ordinary heroes" with extraordinary abilities in this "hero", especially by the exciting plot. It's really wonderful.
Well deep out of the and Joseph can not help but stand up, although the two clapped, but their faces are obviously iron green. They really didn't expect that this "hero" would be so wonderful that they were addicted to it. At this moment, they just recovered. The first two are so wonderful, then the next 21 will be more wonderful. Because the story has just begun!
Thinking of this, their faces sank. If so, it seems that they are quite wrong to tear up the contract at the risk of universal condemnation. You know, even if Lin Feng plays such a wonderful movie once a week, it will last 23 weeks, nearly half a year. Six months later, Lin Feng's film company is enough to launch new films.
Of course, it's impossible to show only one movie a week. Therefore, Lin Feng chose to release one hero a day, but even so, it was enough to last 23 days. In these 23 days, I'm afraid the whole country is the world of heroes.
Where the hell did he get such a good script? What's more, if he invests 23 units at one time, is he not afraid of losing—— Joseph and jingshenchuzhi swore to themselves. You know, it's unprecedented to dare to spend 800 million dollars to make a movie at one time.
If Lin Feng heard the two people's feelings, I'm afraid they would cry out wrongly. At the beginning, he was only prepared to invest about 400 million US dollars at most. It was Spielberg who made the film with 800 million US dollars. Of course, if someone asked Lin Feng how he had the courage to invest $800 million to shoot hero, he would never admit it. At that time, I will only admit my wisdom.
This is human nature!
"Hey, you two, why do you look like a dead man? Is this" hero "ugly? Or are you the "Gunners" sent by those shameless bastards from the "Oscar League" to slander "hero" On one side, the middle-aged audience who had just had a conflict with jingshenchuzhi suddenly turned black when they saw that jingshenchuzhi and Joseph were black.
This middle-aged audience just came to watch hero with the feeling of seeing it. But after watching it, he was deeply attracted by the plot. After watching it like this, he has become a big fan of the super long chapter of hero. He decided to buy a set of tickets in addition to the door. Now see Joseph and well deep one face of black, immediately angry.
Hearing the voice of the middle-aged audience, all the audience who have become die hard fans of "hero" immediately look at Joseph and Inoue, with a look of hostility. I'm afraid that if they are stupid and disrespectful to hero, they will beat these two people who slander hero on the spot. Especially the Japanese in the middle, how to see, how to hate.
"No, no, we are just lamenting why there are only two movies. Now we have seen two movies and are stuck here. We want to know the story behind. We feel uncomfortable, so we have a bad face." It's very cunning to go out of the well. When you see it, you may make people angry, so you immediately explain. Although these words come out, I feel sick. But at the moment, for the sake of life, no matter how disgusting, I have to say.
"Oh, yes, it's only two. If only we could put more at one time, we could pay more!" The middle-aged audience immediately said with emotion.
There was also a rush of emotion from the audience around.
Listening to the voice of emotion on the faces of the audience around, Joseph and well are bleeding. Why do you want us to say that this is not "forcing good people to be prostitutes"!
"More! We're going to see the next 21 films! " I don't know who it is, I suddenly shout.
The sound immediately received a full field response.
Put a few more, we want to see the remaining 23 become the voice of all the audience in an instant. And this voice does not only appear in this film screening hall. The 1028 cinemas under the forest film screening hall, with a total of 8000 film screening halls, all resound with this voice.
This night is destined to be a "hero's night".
And in this appeal, Joseph suddenly yelled - damn, this is no super long movie, it's just a TV play. Lin Feng on dog day, playing TV series in the cinema, fooled us all!
Lin Feng, I will scold you to death—— Cried Joseph. However, in the face of the nationwide audience's popularity of hero, how much trouble can Joseph and others make( To be continued, if you want to know the future, please log in www.qidian.com , more chapters, support authors, support legitimate reading!)
