Chapter 701: Envelop people


"Police. School" entered the third week of the screening, inevitably ushered in the box office slowly lower.
In the normal movie box office, it is already very good. The second week of general movies will be less than the first week, and the third week will be a big drop.
"Police. Cha School" is naturally better. Xiangjiang's box office dropped to 6.3 million, which is about 16% lower than the second week.
The overseas box office is also similar, reporting 32 million US dollars, down 18% from the second week. The decline is very healthy, and it can even be said that the performance is dazzling and excellent.
But Yin Jun was still a little dissatisfied.
The previous "Police. School" won over US $ 80 million at the box office in the United States alone, and when Yin Jun edited this life, he also edited a version specifically for the American market according to the previous film clips. , But this time in the United States, only won the box office of 40 million US dollars in three weeks, not even half of the total box office.
It was because Yin Jun and Universal Pictures cooperated on "E.T.", and then made a big profit. When Universal and Lei Shidong contacted together, they arranged more than 400 screens in the United States.
Fortunately, "Police. School" is a very beautiful movie, and the plot is more in line with American values. So in the first week, the box office was worth 10 million US dollars, so that the cinema operators actively increased the number of screens to 800. Zhang then ushered in another bumper harvest.
Originally, a film that performed well for two consecutive weeks. If it is normal, a third screen can be added in the third week, and it will not decrease until the fourth week.
However, "Police. Cha School" had bad luck and hit the large film "Gate of Heaven" created by Lianyi this year, so the screen of the third week of "Police. Cha School" was already set for "Gate of Heaven". ", There is no way to add.
"Heaven's Gate" is produced by Lianyi, one of Hollywood's top seven, and invited Michael Simino, the best Oscar director of "Deer Hunter", which cost US $ 38 million in production costs and up to US $ 5 million in advertising The number of screens at the premiere is 1788, and the European, British, French and German, Italian, and Spanish countries are released at the same time. It is an A-level production that continues to receive double word-of-mouth and box office receipts.
But Yin Jun was inevitable that he was gloating.
Only one of his talents knows that the big Oscar director may not be able to master every drama, especially this kind of Oscar winner, who is the easiest to know what his last name is.
Unsurprisingly, on Wednesday, November 19th, after the grand premiere, early the next morning, everyone at Lianyi was shocked, and all the media reporters were also shocked.
330,000 box office premiere in North America! ?
What the is this? ?
1788 screens!
There were two screenings last night!
Even if there are only 30 people sitting in each screening room at a time, there are not so few 330,000? This is a big production by the Oscar director!
Is it a statistical error?
Everyone hurriedly asked every cinema, and the results were summed up. They were not wrong at all, and even a few of them even miscalculated the movie tickets sold this morning.
Forced to call the European side, their real-time box office is a little more-750,000 US dollars.
Ok.
It's completely slammed like this.
You do n’t have to wait for the next day, and you do n’t have to wait for the weekend to know that The Gate of Paradise is completely over.
In the next few days, as of the weekend, the total box office in North America for 5 days was only 1.6 million US dollars, setting the lowest box office record in a decade.
The cinema line has been notified and will be released directly the next week without any consultation.
Hearing the bad news, Michael Simino locked himself in the room and did not come out for three days and three nights.
Lianyi Film Company is even more clouded.
They invested more than $ 43 million!
Even with the addition of Shanghai's overseas box office share, they have to lose 40 million dollars!
At this time, which film company can lose 40 million dollars in one breath?
The original situation of Lianyi Film Company was not good recently. Films have repeatedly suffered losses, and various diversified investments have suffered many failures.
They had originally thought of relying on Michael Simino to regroup, but they did not expect Michael Simino to give them the heaviest blow.
The entertainment media in North America did not let them go, and they all started the mocking mode, comparing
Gate to Heaven
with
Egyptian Aftermath
in 1963.
At that time, "Egyptian Cleopatra." But it almost caused the 20th century Fox to collapse, which shows how bad they are for Lianyi.
However, after all, Lianyi is one of the top seven in Hollywood, and the rotten ship still has three pounds. Most media think that Lianyi will definitely be hurt. It has been slow for a few years, but that's all.
However, there is a giant company hidden in the depths, but they have fixed their eyes on Lianyi with the same eyes as their falcons.
"Don't the Xiangjiang guy let us help us buy Hollywood companies? Will Lianyi be a better choice?"
"Well, the scale of Lianyi must be very large, but I don't know if Xiangjiang people can afford it?"
"Do n’t worry about him. The dozen or so Transformers toys your son plays are produced by his company. Jensen ’s annual profit valuation for Transformers toys has reached $ 200 million. If he is willing to sell Transformers All the copyrights of the company are worth one billion US dollars. "
"Also, I can see that his ambition is great! Now that he has bought a TV station in Xiangjiang, does he want to learn Warner, Paramount and Universal?"
"I don't know his ability, can it be worthy of his ambition."
"Why do you do so much? Quickly give Lianyi an evaluation report. If we can make more money, we recommend Lianyi to him!"
"I know. But there is another point, Lianyi is not necessarily willing to sell itself."
"This is very simple, it puts a little more pressure on them, or directly bankrupts them, won't it make them sell?"
"Oh, this is a good idea!"
...
The fiasco of Lianyi was as early as Yin Jun expected, so he did not invest more energy to pay attention.
As long as Goldman Sachs is not a fool, it will definitely recommend Lianyi to itself.
At that time, his first goal in Hollywood was successfully achieved.
He was busy at this time, dealing with the arrangements of the two actors.
The third week after the screening of "Police.School", the box office is selling and the influence has swept the world. It is already beyond doubt.
Therefore, Li Xiuman, who spent more than a month in Xiangjiang, was ready to return to South Korea.
In the last week, his agent called him a total of 75 calls, all of which asked him to return home quickly for events, movie performances and small concerts.
Before Li Xiuman came to Xiangjiang, he was not well-known in South Korea, just a newcomer in the singing and hosting industry.
Not to mention him now, even a famous Korean actor is only second- and third-class in Xiangjiang.
Before 2000, the Korean entertainment industry could not stand up in front of the Xiangjiang entertainment industry.
So Li Xiuman came to Xiangjiang to make a movie and participated in such a big production. For him, it was definitely a very good gold-plated journey, and it was also promoted as a glorious journey in Korea.
The result is the same as everyone imagines. "Police. School" has a global explosion. Li Xiuman's squad leader role, although a little stupid and silly, can be regarded as a face in front of fans all over the world.
In the eyes of Koreans, the meaning is even more different.
With "Police. School", Li Xiuman suddenly became popular all over Korea, and vaguely became the No. 1 star in South Korea, so the agent was so anxious that he returned to South Korea, quickly hitting the iron while hot, and his own reputation Consolidate.
The overall situation of "Police. School" was completed. Li Xiuman felt that it didn't make sense to stay in Xiangjiang, so he came to say goodbye to Yin Jun.
Later mainlanders, no matter how black Koreans are, but they agree with the manners of their superiors, seniors and juniors, elders and juniors. This ancient ritual passed from China is actually in Japan. Both Korea and South Korea have been well inherited, but gradually disappeared in China, which is really a bit of a puff.
Li Xiuman, 28 years old this year, is 10 years older than Yin Jun, but Li Xiuman admires Yin Jun's genius extremely respectfully and admires him from the heart.
"Jun Shao!" This name is the standard Xiangjiang dialect. Next, Li Xiuman spoke English. "I will return to Korea tomorrow. Thank you for taking care of me this time. Thank you! After I return to Korea, Will definitely work harder! You are welcome to come to Korea to play! "
"Oh, that's right." Yin Jun nodded, took a document from his drawer, and handed it to Li Xiuman, "Man, there's nothing for you. Take this song!"
Li Xiuman added surprise, "This ... Jun Shao, the song you wrote to me?"
He is a singer, and naturally he knows that besides being a genius scriptwriter, Yin Jun is also a genius songwriter.
He has heard and studied Chinese, English and Japanese songs sung by Zhang Guorong and Deng Lijun.
From this, Li Xiuman admired Yin Jun's five-body cast, and felt that there would be no more powerful songwriter in the world than Yin Jun.
Because a songwriter can write popular songs in the local language according to the influence of the national culture, it is relatively easy, but it is not so easy for you to write songs in other languages ​​across a language.
This is not as simple as finding someone to fill in the lyrics after the composition is completed. The songs produced in this way are just assembly line songs, and they are not classics at all.
Only when the lyrics and songs are perfectly integrated, and can trigger the self-identification of fans of this language, is a classic good song.
Of course, there are genius songwriters who can write songs in two languages, but they are definitely among the few.
Like Yin Jun, he wrote songs in three languages: Chinese, English and Japanese, and each capital is such a touching songwriter. In Li Xiuman's impression, there is no second one.
A South Korean singer like Li Xiuman, who has n’t been entertained by entertainment, did n’t dare to allow Yin Jun to write a song for him. In fact, his agent, half of the calls this week, were to encourage him. Looking for Yin Jun to write a song.
Li Xiuman ’s agent did n’t dare to ask Yin Jun to write a Korean song. He looked forward to Yin Jun ’s ability to give an English song, thank God, it ’s not enough to do a Cantonese song. Anyway, Xiangjiang ’s TV series and songs are popular in Korea. Very popular, just as popular.
Li Xiuman resolutely stopped this kind of behavior that did not know the heights of the earth and that there was no sense of respect for the humble. He never told Yin Jun at all.
But unexpectedly, just before saying goodbye to his home country, Yin Jun suddenly took out a song and gave it to him, so that Li Xiuman was pleasantly surprised, so flattered that he couldn't add more.
Li Xiuman took the song in a jerky manner, and Li Xiuman was even more stunned.
"Korean song?"
"Well, this is the first time to make a Korean song. You can try it out. If you don't like it, I will give you another English song." Yin Jun said.
"No, no, I didn't mean that ..." Li Xiuman swelled and flushed, panic: "I'm just too excited! I didn't expect you to write a Korean song for me, I don't know how to thank you How are you ... thanks ... "
Talking, Li Xiuman's eyes were red.
In Li Xiuman's view, the difference in identity between him and Yin Jun is the difference between heaven and earth.
Not only did Yin Jun look down on him, he also changed a more suitable role setting for him in the movie, and encouraged him to act well. Now he also wrote a Korean song specifically for him. What kind of care is this? what!
Li Xiuman didn't have anything for Yin Jun to spy on, and he was about to go back to China. Because the acting was so bad, there wasn't much chance to come to Xiangjiang to make a movie, so basically it was Yin Jun and his last Meeting in private is basically the rhythm of passersby.
But even so, Yin Jun wrote a Korean song specifically for him. Why didn't you let Li Xiuman feel moved to cry?
"Okay, Man, what about the plane in the afternoon, you first look at the song!" Yin Jun smiled slightly and raised his hand.
"Oh, good, good."
Li Xiuman quickly wiped away her tears and sat on the sofa next to her, carefully watching Yin Jun's song.
The name of this song is "After Love".
Li Xiuman has been singing since 1971. Although not the most famous ones ~ EbookFREE.me ~ but the music literacy is absolutely outstanding.
He just hummed the song again, and couldn't help but feel refreshed, and then humming it again with the lyrics, the whole spirit was immediately immersed in the song.
Once, twice, three times ...
"it is good!"
Unable to help himself, Li Xiuman slapped the sofa hard, and his eyes were full of excitement.
"Great! Great!" Li Xiuman stood up, holding the song sheet in his hand, and bowed to Yin Jun again and again, "Thank you! Jun Shao! Thank you! ..."
Except for shouting thanks and bowing, he had no other action, and even his entire person had not sobered up from the slightly sad and desolate melody.
Because Li Xiuman is so excited, to get such a good song, such a touching song, is a lucky singer's life!
Of course, Li Xiuman should be glad.
This "After Love" is a classic masterpiece released by the Korean godfather rock singer Quan Renquan who was born in the same year with him in 1985. It was a sensation in South Korea that year.
Yin Jun heard this song for the first time, or heard a female singer sing on the original Korean version of "I am a singer". Then Yin Jun went to find some information and felt like it very much and learned it.
After returning to Xiangjiang 42 years ago, Yin Jun wrote a lot of songs from many countries. Among the few Korean songs, there is this "After Love".
Although it is not as popular as "Ibeileve", "GEE" and other songs, it is the most suitable according to the level and stage of appreciation in Korea.
In order to win over Li Xiuman, a future brokerage wizard, Yin Junke has also worked hard!
