Chapter 1186 The general trend

After the grand premieres held in Hong Kong and Hollywood, Hong Kong Kumho Film Group also held premieres for "The Matrix" in central cities around the world. A large number of celebrities in the film industry and social elites of the country Attended these premieres, attracted a lot of media and countless eyeballs.And "The Matrix" lived up to expectations. The global box office of "The Matrix" created a miracle on the first day. It exceeded the box office of "Terminator 3" by nearly 800 million US dollars on the first day, rewriting a new record in the history of world movies. record.Although many die-hard fans of "Terminator" think that this is because "The Matrix" has three more small countries in the world than "Terminator 3", no one can deny that "Hacker" Empire's success!

In this regard, many media exclaimed, thinking that "The Matrix" has the strength to compete for the [-] global movie box office champion!It even has the strength to compete for the top five box office in global film history!
For a while, "The Matrix" swept across the film markets of countries all over the world, and once again there was a long queue in front of the cinema.Many film critics and major media also sang praises one after another, and some media even said something that dissatisfied many die-hard fans of "Terminator" - "We think that "The Matrix" is Still, the visual effect will surpass any previous sci-fi movie. There has never been a sci-fi movie in the history of world movies that can attract so many fans, and no sci-fi movie can attract so many audiences like "The Matrix". Massive discussion! Plot, theme, special effects, actors...we have so much to discuss. Even Terminator, its first installment can't compare!"

Although, this comment is still a tactful admission. Judging from the current first one, except for the box office on the first day, "The Matrix" cannot be said to have overwhelmed the "Terminator", but considering that it has a trilogy .Even the die-hard fans of "Terminator" have to admit that, at least for now, the first part of "The Matrix" has achieved a brilliance that cannot be compared with the first part of "Terminator".According to Cameron and Spielberg, this is the beginning of the whole story... It is conceivable what kind of audience will be raised when the second and third parts of "The Matrix" are released. Movie frenzy!
But those die-hard Terminator fans still say that, considering the two films were released nearly 20 years apart.Considering the explosive growth of the world's population, the rapid development of the world economy and the world film market in the past 20 years, more and more audiences have entered the cinema, the depreciation of the US dollar, the vigorous development of film technology, etc. Many factors, such a comparison is unreasonable and unfair to "Terminator"!
Someone also raised an objection from another angle. "Terminator" is Cameron's first self-written and directed film.At that time, the shooting budget was only less than 700 million U.S. dollars, and it was released by the little-known Jade Bird Film Company at the time, while "The Matrix" was produced by "Fang" and Hong Kong Kumho Film Group. The pinnacle work, the production cost is as high as hundreds of millions of dollars.Such a simple comparison by the media is extremely unfair to "Terminator", to Cameron, and to the Halcyon Film Group Corporation!It's only fair to wait for "The Matrix" to reach $20 billion worldwide at the box office.

Immediately, someone refuted. The shooting cost of "Terminator" was less than 700 million US dollars, and the final global box office was close to 8000 million US dollars, which means that the box office was less than twelve times the cost.And the first film of The Matrix.The cost of filming is close to 20 million US dollars. Why can the global box office reach [-] billion US dollars before it can be compared with "Terminator"?For a while, the two sides were arguing endlessly on this topic!And this strongly drove more people into the cinema, everyone wanted to see it quickly, and wanted to know why these people were so arguing.

"Actually, on this point, the fans are right. It's unfair to simply compare the first part of "Terminator" with the first part of "The Matrix"!" Jingjiro looked at Howard. . said Sjunger.Howard Sjunger, who is in his early 60s this year, joined Sony Corporation in [-]. He was the president of Sony (USA) Corporation at that time. Later, he held various positions and became the chairman of Sony (USA) Corporation. , Columbia Pictures is under his leadership.

"You are right. The reason why "The Matrix" can achieve such a beautiful opening is, to a large extent, inseparable from 'Fang'. Since "Terminator 2" has gained worldwide attention, in 'Fang 'Under the leadership of Hong Kong Kumho Film Group Co., Ltd., whether it is cooperation with other film companies or self-produced big-investment films, they have all achieved success without exception, and even appeared on the global box office list in a few years. The film produced by Hong Kong Kumho Film Group can completely monopolize the top three. And this is very abnormal!" Shi Junge said in a deep voice, "Under normal circumstances, even the most successful film company in Hollywood has Mixed good and bad, after a high-quality film, there may be a few years of relative silence, like the Hong Kong Kumho Film Group, which has classic works released every year, never before!"

Hei Keijiro nodded silently. The development of Hong Kong Kumho Film Group has indeed broken the conventions of the world film industry. There has never been a film company that can do what Hong Kong Kumho Film Group does!He felt that it was not too much to call this phenomenon a "miracle".Thinking about Fang Mingyuan's talent in games and comics, Hei Jingjiro really wanted to say, "Then he is a fucking freak"!
"The works of 'Fang' and the Hong Kong Kumho Film Group Company over the years have established a sense of trust among movie fans around the world, that is, all films produced by the Hong Kong Kumho Film Group Company will definitely not be rubbish The work will definitely be worth the price of the ticket, and it will definitely not make myself feel that sitting in the cinema is a waste of time. This is like a snowball, although when it comes to departure, Hong Kong Kumho Film Group Company is just a starting point compared to other film companies Well, "Terminator 2" made 'Fang' and Hong Kong Kumho Film Group famous all at once, but the subsequent works not only made them huge profits, but also made them famous in the hearts of movie fans all over the world. Just like a snowball rolling down from a high mountain, it will only get bigger and bigger before it hits a rock! This is why the films of Hong Kong Kumho Film Group can set new records repeatedly." Shi Jun Greg sighed.Although Columbia Pictures has been revived under his hands, it has now come out of the predicament, and has even become an important source of profit for Sony, but looking at Hong Kong Kumho Film Group, he still has a deep sense of loss—— Compared with Hong Kong Kumho Film Group Company, the box office stability of Columbia Pictures' works is much worse, let alone rising steadily.

Hei Jingjiro couldn't help but sighed lightly. Shi Junge explained very vividly the reason why the Hong Kong Kumho Film Group Company can reach today's heights. Those works involving various themes have achieved universal success. , so that fans from all over the world have a high degree of trust in the quality of "Fang" and the quality of the works of Hong Kong Kumho Film Group Company. Kumho Film Group produced and chose to watch.Years of accumulation have resulted in the grand occasion of "Terminator 3" and "The Matrix" today.Although everyone understands that as long as the Hong Kong Kumho Film Group fails a few times, such an astonishingly large popularity will dissipate a lot, but the question is, when will the Hong Kong Kumho Film Group and Fang Mingyuan fail?

Like this time Hong Kong Kumho Film Group Co., Ltd. filmed "The Matrix". At the beginning, no one poured cold water on it, thinking that Hong Kong Kumho Film Group Co. Ltd. was dazzled by the success of "Pirates of the Caribbean" and "Lord of the Rings". To shoot three films in one go, you must know that "The Matrix" is no better than "The Lord of the Rings". As the best magical literary work in the West, it had countless fans before it was put on the big screen!

Moreover, Hong Kong Kumho Film Group chose the Wachowski brothers, a pair of rookie directors who did not have any world-renowned masterpieces before, which was originally the focus of many people accusing Hong Kong Kumho Film Group, thinking that "The Matrix" "It is very likely that it will suffer a disastrous failure, but now, these negative accusations have all become jokes in front of the global box office of "The Matrix".

"Vice President Ping Jing, MGM's new movie has already been shot, and the bet between 'Fang' and Comke Dekrian may be resolved this year." Shijunge said, "I personally think , maybe this time, 'Fang' will win again." Although it is only a small-investment film, the original work adapted from the screenplay is quite famous in the United States. When a work that attracts attention is released, this new movie will easily be able to borrow the wind and soar into the sky.

"You think so too?" Hei Jingjiro glanced at him and said calmly.Regarding that bet, he never doubted that Fang Mingyuan would win. (To be continued..)
