Rebirth In Hollywood

Walking into the office, Jr. Jones handed the briefcase to the assistant, turned to the back of the desk, took a sip of coffee at a suitable temperature, and then turned on the laptop.

"Black." He looked at the female assistant, "Is what I want ready?".

"Ready, in the folder on your right."

After answering, the female assistant hurriedly left the office. She understood that her boss had a very high vision, almost growing on the top of her head. Over the past few years, whenever a movie he didn't like won a high box office, he would always lose his temper. "Transformers 2" "'s box office will definitely make him go berserk, she doesn't want to be a punching bag.

Although he knew that he could only escape for a while, Blake hid in his seat without hesitation. Since the beginning of the new century, the boss lost his temper more and more frequently, because the Disney commercial movies he didn't like were always easy He won a high box office, but his film critics almost no one paid attention to.

Thinking of the boss's pitiful income in the past year, Bu? none? wrong? Lake couldn't help lamenting that his welfare was getting worse and worse, maybe it was time to change industries.

In the office, Jr. Jones found a thin piece of printing paper, which showed the North American first-day box office and global first-day box office of "Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen".

The North American box office is 69.05 million US dollars! The global box office is 185.66 million US dollars!

This is the 24-hour record of "Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen".

His hands trembled slightly, Jr. Jones slapped the table heavily, cursed a few words beginning with '', his whole face was almost distorted, as if this couldn't vent the anger and unwillingness in his heart, he exerted force with both hands , tore the printing paper in half, rolled it into a ball, and threw it on the ground.

"!..."

He felt the anger burning in his chest, that movie was so bad. Obviously there is no connotation and depth, why do those idiots still buy tickets to watch it?

Is it true that all the people in this world have fallen?

Suppressing his anger, jr? Jones opened his internet column. It was an article he published immediately after the premiere. It is not too difficult to earn tens of millions or even tens of millions of dollars at the box office.

He remembered the treatment last night, movie tickets, round-trip air tickets and other expenses. All of them were paid out of their own pockets. In the past, this was a necessary expense for the producer and distributor, and gifts were out of the question. There were also films of this scale released in the past.

He always received a minimum five-digit check, and now that's gone...

"!"

"Damn Disney! Damn Ryan Jenkins! Damn Transformers and Michael Bay!"

In the middle of the curse, jr? Jones entered the column. Although his influence is not as good as before, he always has some supporters. Every time the video appears, someone will reply below, whether it is echoing or countering abuse, it always makes him feel that he has not been completely forgotten.

"Although this year has not passed yet, I can say with certainty. As far as the movies that have been released now, "Transformers" 2 must be the worst and most disgusting. There is no one. It won the first place! This movie Disgusting what he wants in the summer. He just packs and throws out what Michael Bay doesn't care about the quality and themes, so I'm disappointed."

"If you're worried about being late and missing the beginning of a story line—don't worry. Transformers doesn't have a storyline, not at all; you can just look at your watch and wait twenty-five minutes before you get in."

"Of course, if you are interested in the fact that summer is already here and human beings are still in the spring estrus period in primitive society, you can still hurry in the first twenty-five minutes."

"If you're going to see Alessandra Ambrosio, and you're a man, I have nothing to say. She has a hot body, a good face, and her pouting and kissing is growing I have material needs, but showing off my boobs and butt in front of the camera is so annoying, I'd rather watch a pit bull in heat - at least a pit bull that's unabashedly real, not fake climax……"

His eyes followed his comments all the way down. Jr. Jones is still very satisfied with his film reviews. This will always bring some troubles to the film. Even if it affects thousands of people not to enter the theater, it is also to Ryan Jenkins. fight back.

Last year, his agent had contacted Disney and expressed his desire to cooperate, but was severely rejected by Disney's management. The reason Disney gave was simply unbearable-film critics are not worth his money price.

Jones scrolled down the movie reviews to the end, wanting to read the replies from netizens below. Only when he saw that there were still people following his column, could he regain the feeling of the past, the feeling that movie reviews determine the life and death of movies.

"what?"

He suddenly widened his eyes, as if seeing an incredible scene.

The number of replies under the movie review is zero, and the number of views is a pitiful twenty-three. This... this is simply...

Jones rubbed his eyes, as if he couldn't believe what he saw. This film review has been published for more than 24 hours. Why is there so little attention?

However, the truth of the matter lies here, even if he crushed his eyes, those two vivid numbers reminded him - you are not cared about by anyone!

"boom!"

There was a shattering sound of coffee mugs hitting the floor in the room, something Blake remembers happening after Iron Man 2 came out.

Poor professional film critic...

For some reason, this idea suddenly appeared in her mind.

As much as professional film critics hate "Transformers 2", audiences love "Transformers 2". In just two days, on Rotten Tomatoes, which best reflects the tastes of film critics, the freshness of "Transformers 2" has already It has dropped to 22%, but in inverse proportion to it, it is the film's box office figures that are soaring.

After winning the North American box office of US$69.05 million on the second day of the holiday, "Transformers 2" won US$45.68 million and US$40.95 million on the following Saturday and Sunday respectively. Without any suspense, it sat on the throne of the North American box office chart.

Although "Transformers 2" is not as crazy as last year's "The Hunger Games 2: Catching Fire" in terms of North American box office, it has shown a strong enough momentum.

235.88 million U.S. dollars in five days, 268.75 million U.S. dollars in a week, breaking through 300 million U.S. dollars in ten days...

In terms of global box office, in just five days, the global box office exceeded 400 million US dollars. When the film was released around the world for a full week, the box office figure of 525.66 million US dollars announced to the world another super hit. Video appeared.

It is almost inevitable that the film will gross more than 1 billion US dollars at the global box office.

In addition, various products related to Transformers are selling well again, especially Hasbro's Transformers toys. During the film's hot release, the sales volume increased by 440% compared with the same period last year.

North America is the well-deserved No. 1 ticket warehouse for "Transformers 2". The renewed enthusiasm of China on the other side of the ocean also surprised Disney and Hollywood.

Although all the words related to Shang Hai in the film were cut off by a pair of big scissors, a considerable part of the plot of the film has already been fired up in China. Appeared, which to a certain extent aroused the enthusiasm of the Chinese audience.

The film was released simultaneously in China, and the attendance rate of the zero-hour slot was close to 95%, which was enough to see the popularity of "Transformers 2" in China.

Although there were many complaints about "American soldiers used weapons to destroy aliens, and China used advertising to conquer Hollywood", but in the subsequent releases, the 3D and imax versions of "Transformers 2" were hard to find.

"Transformers 2"'s box office of 38.9 million RMB on the first day also easily surpassed the Chinese single-day box office record of 32.41 million RMB created by "Transformers".

This movie set off an even hotter movie-watching frenzy in China than the first one. It reached 129.55 million RMB in the first three days, 200 million RMB in the following five days, and 300 million RMB in eight days. new record.

17 days after its release, "Transformers 2" broke the Chinese box office record of 430.05 million RMB that "Transformers" had held for two years, and successfully topped the historical box office champion of China's box office list.

However, even though Disney made a lot of efforts, "Transformers 2" still didn't get the "secret key" for the extension of a game. After just 30 days, it was the first to be released from the Chinese market.

565.78 million RMB, this is a brand new Chinese movie box office record, which belongs to "Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen King".

Entering August, the North American box office of "Transformers 2" is steadily moving towards the 400 million US dollars mark. Another great success of the film has also made Hasbro full of confidence in its toy-adapted movies. After repurchasing the adaptation rights of "Special Forces", it is working with Stephen Sommers to produce a live-action movie.

With such a successful precedent, Hasbro raised the production budget for G.I. Ops: Rise of Cobra to $170 million.

In order to get this series back, they not only paid 3 times the original adaptation and transfer fee, but also sold 2% of the peripheral share of "Transformers". Naturally, they wanted to make a super-best-selling series.

Most importantly, Hasbro sent an invitation to Ryan, offering 30 million US dollars plus 30% of the global box office share price, inviting him to play the absolute protagonist Duke—that is, the Duke—and this price There is room for negotiation.

Of course, they knew that Ryan was not short of money, but such a rare price was a symbol of his status as an actor in Hollywood.

After simple thinking, Ryan still declined Hasbro's invitation. His upcoming work has long been full, and there is no suitable schedule. (to be continued...)
