October 14th.
The box office on the premiere day of "Reaper Is Coming" came out.
The box office was very good, reaching a staggering nine million dollars!
Yes, the box office of "Reaper Is Coming" broke 9 million U.S. dollars on the premiere day. In the horror suspense film "Reaper Is Coming" directly broke the record, topping the annual horror film premiere box office list. Ranked second in the box office list of the historical premiere of Hollywood horror films, only a small gap of $300,000 from the box office of the classic horror film "Midnight Cry".
This data is enough to make a sensation in the entire American film circle, enough to set off a storm in the Hollywood horror film market, and enough to blow up the media editors of major film and television circles...
but……
In the early morning of the next day, the American entertainment media did not publish the record-breaking news about "The God of Death", but directly published the news about the huge impact of "The God of Death" on many airports in the United States...
Netizens were immediately dumbfounded after seeing these media reports.
The media claimed that the refund rate on Flight 182 of San Francisco International Airport, which was supposed to go to Paris, France, directly accounted for half. Even the passengers who were about to board the plane immediately hoped that the staff of Flight 182 could repeatedly check all aspects of the plane. Parts, I hope to check the fuel pipeline of the aircraft...
They threatened that they didn't want to see the plane explode during takeoff, and they still wanted to live. At the same time, more than one passenger suggested that if it weren't for important things to go to Paris, they would not even be able to approach the airport!
The weird reactions of the passengers made the airport staff very helpless!
They kept explaining to these people that they are one of the safest airlines in the world, and there is absolutely no possibility of nonsense such as airplane explosions. They even beat their chests to ensure that airplanes are the safest means of transportation in the world, better than cars. What's so much safer!
but……
The explanation from the staff is useless.
On this day, it was not only the San Francisco International Airport airport that appeared in these speechless situations, but also most airports in the United States.
In particular, the number of direct passengers on the flight from New York to Paris has been reduced by more than half. Although the airport staff have unanimously promised that there will be no accidents on the plane, the number of passengers returning for refunds has not decreased, but has begun to increase...
The whole day of October 14th.
American airlines are in a very troublesome state.
""The God of Death is Coming" is indeed a very good movie. Mr. Lu Yuan is also a very famous and excellent screenwriter. However, "The God of Death is Coming" is just a movie. Everything in this movie The plots are all fictitious. I hope everyone can distinguish reality from movies, just as an airplane cannot explode..."
The evening of the 14th.
Lawrence published a video on the American media.
He urged everyone to calm down and not be affected by the movie. There can be no accidents and no disasters.
Everything is fictitious.
Everything is fake.
Unfortunately, this video of Lawrence's appeal is just like what the airport staff said to passengers...
No one will believe it.
after all……
An airplane flies in the sky. It doesn't have an island like a ship, or at least on land like a car. If something happens to the airplane, it will end in ruins.
When watching "Reaper Is Coming", fans feel that something in it is nonsense, but after watching it, there is a feeling of horror in thinking.
Accidents are everywhere. They see in the news every day that there are car accidents and that they are hit by cars. At the same time, they may have seen the movie "Death is Coming" suddenly causing such a huge influence. Some unscrupulous media have taken several years The history of the previous air crash that was wiped out by the army has been turned over again, and at the same time, the "accident" of the air crash and the situation after it have been described in great detail. What is even more damning is that the history of this air crash has been advancing in an instant. The top few of the hot lists of each website are all messages like "God", "I will never fly anymore", "I will not go to Paris", and "I will not go...".
……………………………………
The box office and popularity of "Reaper Is Coming" has been rising all the way, and the major movie theaters are full.
But the U.S. aviation industry has suffered.
As of the early morning of October 15th.
The American aviation industry lost nearly 30 million U.S. dollars in one day, setting a new historical low.
This is a data that makes everyone feel a headache.
What's even more cheating is that the enthusiasm for ticket refunds is growing.
Looking at this posture, the aviation industry will have a greater impact on the 16th!
Passengers want to refund their tickets, can you refuse?
Of course it is impossible!
In fact, some panics can infect people.
Passengers who didn't understand what was going on were invisibly shocked when they saw the comments of the people around them.
If there is no air crash in human history, then "Reaper is Coming" has no effect.
but……
There have been many cases of air crashes in human history, and apart from the weather, the causes of air crashes are basically the plane itself and the negligence of the staff.
and so……
Who can rest assured?
……………………………………
"Remote" entertainment.
The box office of "Reaper Is Coming" the next day came out.
The next day it directly reached the figure of 15 million US dollars, which directly surpassed the box office of "Midnight Cry" the next day.
If this momentum continues, "Reaper is here" will definitely surpass "Midnight Cry" and will directly top the list of Hollywood horror films!
After seeing the box office results, Lu Yuan was not as happy as he thought.
In fact, he has received complaints from many companies this day.
At first it was a complaint from airlines, followed by advertising companies, shower head retail companies, cable companies...
It is worth mentioning that the KA brand sanitary ware company publicly scolded the movie "Death Is Coming"!
They suffered the worst.
why?
Because the brand of the bathtub and shower head that James photographed is theirs.
Their series of orders were directly rejected by users, and countless people even questioned their safety factor.
This made their business instantly become notorious among the user groups in these two days.
Wee hours.
Lu Yuan rubbed his head and watched the audition plan for "Titanic", and then watched the movie "Reaper Is Coming" soaring, second only to "Titanic"...
Lu Yuan feels like a dog.
Lu Yuan never dreamed that "Death Is Coming" would have such a big impact!
And this effect is basically negative.
Lu Yuan suddenly remembered a movie "Jaws" in the original world. When "Jaws" pulled a wave of horror box office in the original world of the United States, it indirectly hit the US coastal tourism industry and caused many beaches in the United States. Falling into a desolate state, many coastline tourism companies simply want to cry.
And what about this world?
Obviously, the movie "Reaper is Coming" has exploded!
The box office not only surpassed the original world "Reaper Is Coming", and even caused an even greater impact than "Jaws"!
Complaints from multiple companies made Lu Yuan a little bit painful.
He suddenly realized that fortunately, he told the two shipyards that the cruise ship they built would sink, and asked them to think carefully before choosing whether to cooperate or not.
if not……
Lu Yuan was worried that the two shipyards would suffer even more when "Titanic" was released.
"Dududu"
While Lu Yuan was thinking, his mobile phone rang.
He looked at it.
It's James' call.
"boss……"
"James, what's the matter?"
"Let's cut the movie again, cancel the slogan based on reality, and cut off the trademark of the KA brand bathroom?"
"it is good."
"Also... Boss, I personally issued a statement saying that the story of "Death is Coming" is fictitious, otherwise, the impact tomorrow may be even greater, not only in the United States, but in the early hours of this morning, I have seen flying around the world. The planes heading to Paris are all dissatisfied with passengers..."
"okay."
After talking with James, Lu Yuan closed his eyes.
This wave...
It's a disaster.
In fact, the promotion of "Reaper is Coming" is completely controlled by James.
Lu Yuan agreed.
just……
No one would have thought that "Reaper Is Coming" would suddenly counterattack into such a reality-affecting movie.
James was under much heavier pressure today than he was. Lu Yuan even heard the US authorities suggest that James put up a little attitude.
………………………………
On the morning of the 15th.
"Reaper is Coming" was suspended for a long time.
Half a day later, when "Reaper Is Coming" was released again, all the fans suddenly discovered that the slogan "adapted from reality and real events" in this movie was missing, and the story became a pure fiction.
At the same time, James also showed his head in the entertainment channel of the ABC TV station in the United States, saying something like "This world is safe, everyone, don't panic".
but……
A dramatic scene happened!
Not long after James had finished speaking, the entertainment news became American news, and the first news was the news that a brake accidentally failed and a car crashed in California!
This kind of news used to be very common in the United States, and it is not even news.
After all, a car accident is not uncommon in China’s news.
but……
This kind of news appeared after James finished the sentence "This world is safe..."
It is really……
"Fuck, Director James, are you kidnapped? If you are kidnapped and someone forces you to say this, you blink..."
"Laughing hard at me, Director James, why are you so good, can't you finish earlier or finish it?"
"Wait, Director James, after I watched your video, why do I feel more insecure in this world?"
"Yeah, I feel this way too..."
"Director James is too showy, why do I feel this is a reverse reminder?"
"..."
"..."
……………………………………
Early morning on the 16th.
Lawrence was silent after looking at a record of refunds at San Francisco International Airport during the day and the economic loss.
On the third day of "Reaper", the box office revenue reached 17 million U.S. dollars, reaching a high point!
And the economic loss of San Francisco International Airport today is once again the lowest point in history...
There was even a cheating situation where there were only a dozen passengers on the flight beginning with 18.
He took a deep breath.
then……
He found that he really couldn't help it!
Let "Reaper Coming" not be released?
how is this possible!
Can he not do it at all?
………………………………
It is also early morning.
"Ah, Mr. Olma?"
"..."
"Mr. Olma, I really can't help it. I have rectified everything that should be done and rectified. Now I really can't help it..."
"..."
"Why haven't the auditions for "Titanic" started yet? Isn't this a messy complaint from "Reaper is coming", I just wanted to delay it... Mr. Orma, I have tried my best, really, I really I have tried my best!"
"..."
The phone hung up.
Lu Yuan silently closed his eyes, then looked at the moon outside the window.
Can you blame me?
This……
Hey……
who is it!
Let his grievances flow upstream?
