Chapter 315 314.Bounce ticket

  The moment the giant wolf rushed out of the screen, Thomas Lee took a breath.

  But soon, the giant wolf disappeared, everything returned to normal, and the colorful advertisements brought Times Square back to that busy street.

  "Special effects?"

  Thomas Lee remembered that this should be an application of screen special effects, augmented reality, and naked-eye 3D, which can make people see three-dimensional effects on a flat screen.

  However, this kind of application is still relatively small, and it needs a certain amount of cooperation. Like just now, the effect of playing after attracting everyone's attention is the best.

  Unexpectedly, Lu Zie would actually have lost his blood.

  Thomas Lee couldn't believe it.

  But he didn't say too much. He knew very well that whether "Magic Tide" could really reach the box office of 2 billion US dollars, to a large extent depends on the evaluation of North America after the release of "Cry" and "Mad Man's Mouth".

  Of course, Thomas Lee and the AMC theaters did not do anything such as suppressing Lu Zan, banning his movies, or putting them in unpopular times. No theater will put money without making money.

  Time soon came to September, and "Cry" was officially released in North America.

  Although film sources have flowed out on the Internet and other channels before this, many people are still waiting to go to the theater to watch it.

The box office of "Cry" in North America is pretty good, reaching close to three million dollars on the first day. Although it can't compare with those blockbuster films, it is a niche horror and thriller, and it is a foreign film. Its performance in North America has been extremely horrible. Up.

  Finally, "Cry" was released in North America for a month, reaching a box office of 40 million U.S. dollars, and in the first week after its release, the box office of "Cry" has been increasing, and each day is higher than the previous day.

This is due to the fermentation of word-of-mouth and the spread among young people. Young people who like new and exciting movies are rushing to this theme. Soon, in high schools and college campuses, Lu Zan's name has become a household name, many People even began to search the Internet for the online movies and videos he shot before.

In October, along with the long domestic holiday, "Mouth of the Madman" was released in North America. With the previous preparation, the box office of the film exceeded $5 million on the first day and reached nine in the one-month release period. A record-breaking box office of eighteen million dollars.

  This is the foreign box office record of domestic horror and thriller movies, and it has also made it one of the top three domestic movies in the overseas box office.

  In the famous overseas film forums, the discussion about Lu Yi and the two films, as well as the "Magic Tide" announced in Times Square, has intensified.

  【This **** is the real horror movie, brother, I'm not afraid of your jokes, I didn't dare to turn off the lights and sleep for several days after watching "Cry", this thing is so exciting! 】

[I am very grateful to Director Lu Yi. After watching "Mouth of the Madman", I went to the library to borrow a copy of "A Brief History of Time" and read it. Before that, I stared at the textbook and fell asleep for three minutes. ! 】

[Have you seen the trailer of "Magic Tide"? This movie seems to be completely different from the previous two movies. I am looking forward to this movie more and more. How can I fast forward to Christmas? I have completely can not wait anymore! 】

[It’s a strange feeling. The Chinese movies I used before were those people who know kung fu flying around in ancient clothes, but these two movies give me a very modern feeling. I can’t think that this country is also making modern movies. It can be so interesting, I think I can look for other videos to see]

[First of all, I have seen the two films directed by Lu Kie. Secondly, as a pure passerby, I am not very optimistic about the performance of "Magic Tide" because he is a director who specializes in horror and thriller movies, and the new film is obviously It’s a war category, I doubt if he can present such a big story story]

[You are too exaggerated, although I did not go to the cinema to watch these two movies, but according to the trailer of "Magic Tide", I don't think this movie will be so powerful. Are you all the navy hired by the cinema? Ah, provide a contact method so that everyone who has money can make money together! 】

  As an industry insider, Thomas Lee saw Lu Zan’s two films as miraculous performances, and his heart has been shaken.

   Could Lu Zin’s "Magic Tide" really reach a box office of 2 billion U.S. dollars?

   Just when he felt a little nervous, a message came from the media.

   "Fatal Speed ​​11" will be postponed from the original Thanksgiving schedule to the Christmas schedule, and will meet "Magic Tide" head-on.

"Fatal Speed ​​11" is an action crime movie. It is famous for racing scenes and hot action scenes between cities. With the explosion of the first few movies, the production cost is getting higher and higher. The most recent one is even more expensive. Drove directly into the universe.

Although the protagonist’s motives have always been for his family, and his family members died and lived, lived and died, making people complain, and increasingly outrageous driving skills were also criticized, but this popcorn blockbuster is actually European and American. In the mainstream of the market, it is enough to make the audience look cool in the cinema, and don't care too much about logic.

  When he saw this news, Thomas Lee’s first reaction was that "Fatal Speed ​​11" was about to collide with "Magic Tide"! ! !

There is no doubt about the box office appeal of "Fatal Hour 11". After all, the series has also won a box office of one billion dollars. Even if the box office is lower in the future, the box office of 500 million dollars is still stable. What's more, this movie It is the final work of the series, announcing the formal end of this more than ten-year series. Both emotion and reason need to be taken care of.

  Furthermore, this year’s Christmas schedule has some works by well-known directors. The bounce of "Fatal Speed ​​11" has made the already tight schedule more compact.

According to Thomas Lee’s knowledge, the first-day schedule for "Magic Tide" is 10%, which is quite good for the introduction of movies, while "Fatal Speed ​​11" was originally scheduled for the first day of Thanksgiving. It’s 30%, and now it’s postponed to Christmas, I’m afraid the film volume of "Magic Tide" will be compressed to the limit.

Even though his boss Rek has watched movies and thinks "Magic Tide" has extremely high potential, the executives of the theater also value the box office appeal of the well-known sequel. Shareholders whose money is more important than life must be willing to adopt a more conservative strategy.

At the same time, there have also been statements such as "Fatal Speed ​​11" on the Internet that bouncing tickets to snipe "Magic Tide", both represent the level of film production in their respective countries, and they must fight in the holiday of Christmas, a family reunion. Happy.

  On the Internet, fans hold their own opinions and debate endlessly. As the center of public opinion, Lu Zie happened to attend the Yannan University Student Film Festival in November.
