Chapter 1030: Fight again

When Xiao Yunhai was interviewed, he was in a very good mood and said, "To be honest, I didn't expect "The Battle of Chibi" to achieve such impressive results under the sniper of "Assassin." I just calculated it. , Together with the cost of online downloads, "The Battle of Chibi" won 2.5 billion U.S. dollars in Europe and the United States, with a profit of almost 1.2 billion U.S. dollars."
"Mr. Xiao, what do you think of "Assassin"?"
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said: "Mr. Hanks is too arrogant. This time he obviously chose the wrong enemy. We have a saying in China called the right time, the right place and the right people, and none of the "Assassin" is included. Especially "Black Humor" is popular. The world was caught off guard by hitting "Assassin", which caused its box office to shrink seriously. Otherwise, I estimate that more than 3.5 billion U.S. dollars should be fine."
"Then do you think that in the battle between "Chibi" and "Assassin", who wins and who loses?"
Xiao Yunhai said vigorously: "It goes without saying that, of course, we won the "War of Chibi". Together with the online video revenue, our "War of Chibi" received 4.6 billion US dollars, and its production cost is only a trivial one. Three hundred million dollars, compared with "Assassin", the profit is much larger."
At the Paramount headquarters, Hanks was furious with an ugly and scary face after watching Xiao Yunhai's interview video.
"Assassin" is a movie he gave high hopes, otherwise he would not dare to use it to snipe "The Battle of Chibi", but unexpectedly, he overturned the ship in the gutter and only made a profit of 400 million US dollars. Although there is no loss, the profit is The difference between the billion dollars he estimated is too far, not even half of it.
The culprits are naturally "The Battle of Chibi" and "Black Humor". It just so happens that these two films were shot by their two enemies, and Hanks was almost mad.
At the same time, there was a strong anxiety in his heart. The "Assassin", who originally thought that he had a chance to win, became like this. Will "Hurricane Operation" and "Resident Evil" also end in the same way.
Seeing Xiao Yunhai's young face and self-confident appearance, for the first time Hanks had a trace of fear for him. This was definitely a terrifying enemy.
After a while, Hanks took a deep breath, forcibly eliminated the fear in his mind, picked up the phone, and made a call.
"How is the promotion of Operation Hurricane?"
"Well, it must be done well."
After finishing the conversation, Hanks opened the trailer of "Lord of the Rings" and looked at the vast and charming Middle-earth world, a faint anxiety once again struck him.
Can I win this time?
Time flew fast, and in a blink of an eye, July 20th, the battle between "The Battle of Red Cliff" and "Assassin" had just ended, and "Lord of the Rings" and "Operation Hurricane" collided again.
Hollywood’s big investment films of more than one billion dollars last year were no more than ten, but now it’s not bad. Two were released at the same time, and they have to fight to death and life. The behavior of Xiao Yunhai and Hanks is simply in the eyes of some film owners. Stupid.
All of them are so happy. If two Big Mac movies of more than one billion dollars are released consecutively, it will have a great impact on them, at least it can affect the 20-day schedule.
But now that two movies are released at the same time, it is equivalent to the time of one movie. It is absolutely profitable and harmless to them, so everyone is happy to sit and watch.
Since Xiao Yunhai is no longer a shareholder of the North American cinema chain, the movie "The Lord of the Rings" was scheduled to be released in Yanhuang Cinema.
Since it is a typical Hollywood movie, there are crowds of celebrities and queens. Unlike "The Battle of Chibi", which has no foundation, Xiao Yunhai held a grand premiere and invited many Hollywood stars, film critics, and movies. People come to watch.
The same is true on Paramount's side. The two parties have already been in full swing during the publicity, and now it is officially released. Of course, the momentum cannot be weakened.
At eight o'clock in the evening, "Lord of the Rings" and "Operation Hurricane" premiered simultaneously in European and American theaters.
Xiao Yunhai had watched "Lord of the Rings" a long time ago, so he didn't put his mind on the movie, but on the reaction of the fans.
At the beginning of the movie, when the vast expanse of Middle-earth appeared in front of the audience, everyone exclaimed.
"It's so handsome."
"Is this Middle-earth in the "Lord of the Rings" novels? Amazing."
"What a beautiful place. It would be great if you could live here."
A five-star film critic wrote in his book: "The pictures are beautiful and extremely well-made."
Next, elves, humans, dwarves, bit people and other major races appeared around a ring, feasting the eyes of movie fans.
At Paramount Cinemas, "Hurricane Operation" is also being screened. Hanks sat in an ordinary theater and wanted to see the audience's reaction.
Unfortunately, he was destined to be disappointed tonight, because the fans did not seem to buy the "Hurricane Operation" account.
"God, I knew I shouldn't watch "Operation Hurricane". It will always be handsome and beautiful, and it will always be a fight with nothing new. Can you not be so uniform?"
"Typical Hollywood popcorn movie, I want to fall asleep watching it."
"The 1.2 billion U.S. dollar picture is like this, what is Paramount doing?"
"There is nothing special, except for the scene with the hero and the heroine, I really don't feel the slightest interest in the others."
The voices of the fans heard Hanks' ears, like needles, and the fire in his chest was like a volcano, as if it could erupt at any time.
His face was blue, his hands clasped together involuntarily, his joints were white.
In fact, "Hurricane Operation" should be regarded as a wonderful and exciting movie, but the problem is that it did not bring much surprise to the fans, which is far from the expectations of the fans.
In the entertainment industry, excessive publicity of the movie is not a good thing, because it will raise everyone’s expectations. Once there is a deviation, the fans will feel that they have been deceived. The original 7-point movie may also be ashamed and angry. They scored 6 points.
"How could this happen? Don't they understand movies? Such a popular action movie, even planes, tanks, and warships are used, and they say it is not good."
When Hanks was furious, he suddenly felt exhausted physically and mentally. He felt that his understanding of the movie seemed very far from the fans, which made him full of helplessness... and panic.
Because he thought of the "Resident Evil", if the movie he watched is not so good in the eyes of movie fans, wouldn't the 20 billion dollars lose to Xiao Yunhai?
Thinking of the serious consequences of this incident, Hanks broke out in cold sweat on his back.
It didn't matter if Xiao Yunhai lost, because it was all his own money and he didn't need to explain it to anyone. But Hanks is different. Once he loses, it will be miserable, even if he is David. Stir's illegitimate child will also receive the most severe punishment.
The 17 billion U.S. dollars lost last time has already caused strong dissatisfaction among other shareholders. If you lose another 20 billion this time, it will be the result. . . Hanks shuddered when he thought about it, and at the same time he felt deeply regretful, regretting that he shouldn't be an enemy of Xiao Yunhai.
When the movie lasted for an hour, Hanks quietly left the theater. He couldn't stand the abuse from the fans.
Fortunately, there are not too many fans in the premiere theater. Otherwise, the director and actors would have to escape.
At ten o'clock in the evening, the two movies ended almost simultaneously.
In Paramount Cinemas, when the director and actors of "Hurricane Operation" lined up and bowed to everyone, the applause also rang out, but it was clear that everyone was just being polite and just casual.
This made the director and the actors very embarrassed. After a few words of thanks, they all left.
On the contrary, in the Yanhuang Cinema, as soon as the "Lord of the Rings" movie ended, thunderous applause and shouts broke out.
"Awesome. This film is perfect."
"Bikewen is worthy of being a magical director. I thought I had entered another world."
A film magazine editor said: "With the help of Xiao's magical special effects company, Bikwen is really in a good shape. This is the best movie he has made, not one of them."
"I heard that Bickwin has withdrawn from the 21st World Fox Film Company ~EbookFREE.me~ and joined Xiao's Marvel Comics directly. It seems that he should have made a very correct decision. "
"Look forward to the second part of The Lord of the Rings coming soon."
Sending everyone away, Xiao Yunhai smiled and said to Kevin: "It seems that our movie is a success."
Bickvin nodded and said to Xiao Yunhai gratefully: "Xiao, thank you. Without your full support in funding and special effects, I would never produce such an effect."
Xiao Yunhai laughed and said, "Don't say anything polite, you are making money for me. It's getting late, let's go to China as soon as possible, hoping to catch up with the Yanjing premiere."
