I don't know if it's a coincidence, or if Quick Gunner Pictures did this on purpose.

When "Iron Man" was released, "Ghost Rider", which was invested heavily by Fast Gunner Films, was also released in theaters.

Both are sci-fi films, so these two films will naturally be compared by American netizens.

However, judging from the number of films scheduled, the box office of "Iron Man" on the first day is unlikely to exceed that of "Ghost Rider".

This is also normal.

The director of "Ghost Rider" is Jacob, who is already a little famous. The protagonist in it is also a famous Hollywood actor Anderson, and the other supporting roles are also a little famous actor.

On the other hand, in "Iron Man", the protagonist is a little-known Robert Downey Jr., and the director is a Chinese.

In this case, the theater will naturally give "Ghost Rider" a larger film schedule.

Twelve o'clock that night.

After Lu Mei received the movie's first-day box office, she called Shaoyang directly.

It happened to be twelve o'clock at noon here, and Shaoyang was eating at the dinner table.

"Shaoyang, the box office is out on the first day."

"How many?"

"Twenty-one million and two million."

"It's not bad." Shao Yang said with a smile: "It's a little higher than I expected. If it can be stabilized, it might break $[-] million at the US box office."

Lu Mei also said, "No accidents, it's like this. Also, do you know Quick Shooter Films?"

"You know, the company after the merger of Star Spiral Films and Wren Brothers."

"That's right, their first movie after the merger also hit our schedule, and their first-day box office was $3000 million."

"They have a higher production volume than ours, right?"

"Yes, eight points higher than us."

"Then there's no problem. Our first film didn't have a large-scale promotion, and the cast is average. It's normal that the box office on the first day is not as good as them. Have you paid attention to the situation in North America?"

"Wait for me to count and send it to you."

"Okay, let's do this first."

hang up the phone.

Shaoyang continued to eat.

Xue Qi knew that it was very difficult for a company to gain a foothold in the United States. Seeing that Shaoyang hung up the phone, he also asked, "How is the situation?"

"It's a little better than expected. There should be no problem. This first step is just the beginning."

Xue Qi nodded and said: "As long as you can gain a firm foothold, you will be considered a success. After all, tiktok was also sanctioned when it was first in the United States, and it survived with difficulty."

"Unfortunately we are only an entertainment company, not a technology company."

Xue Qi changed the subject and said: "One Yang Investment is already very famous in the investment industry. The Mihayou you invested in is now a first-tier game company in China, and Tengfei Technology has also gone public."

Shaoyang seemed to understand the meaning of Xue Qi's words, he stopped and said, "Dad, what do you mean, I can consider investing in technology companies next?"

"Technology is the future."

Shao Yang nodded: "I see."

……

"300 million box office on the first day? How is this possible!"

the next morning.

Ryan, who heard the news at the company, screamed in disbelief.

Although the manager in charge of connecting with the theaters didn't quite believe it, he still added a sentence: "I've double-checked that the first-day box office of "Iron Man" was indeed 300 million."

"How could it be so high? They didn't do publicity at all in the United States, and the number of films they made was 8 points lower than ours."

"I don't know the details, maybe it's because of Shao."

"Shao?"

"Well, Shao has a great influence in China. As long as he participates in a movie, there is almost no need for publicity, and the audience will support it. There are also many Chinese people in the United States. It may be because of this that the box office on the first day is so high. Yes."

"You continue to connect with the people on the theater side, and at the same time arrange for the crew to conduct a road show. We must take advantage of the victory and pursue it."

"it is good."

the next day.

Ghost Rider single-day box office: 700 million.

Iron Man single-day box office: 400 million.

Day three.

Ghost Rider single-day box office: 500 million.

Iron Man single-day box office: 500 million.

Day [-]...

"What the hell is going on? Why is the box office of "Iron Man" still rising!"

The meeting room was quiet.

No one expected this to be the case.

Generally speaking, due to the existence of pre-sales, the box office on the first day is basically the highest. Unless it is a holiday, the box office will show a downward trend.

But Iron Man is still rising at a box office rate of 100 million a day, which makes Ryan feel unbelievable, but also heartbroken.

The investment of the two films is not of the same order at all.

But the box office has not been opened.

The most exaggerated thing is that "Iron Man" is still a work made by a new company.

Ryan's anger turned into anger, but it was only the beginning.

"Iron Man" not only achieved a good result in China and the United States, but the film's performance in North America was even better. The box office reached 600 million US dollars on the first day, and the box office in the next few days continued to grow. very smooth.

If this trend continues, the global box office of "Iron Man" is likely to be close to one billion US dollars!

Half a month after "Iron Man" was released, on November [-]st, Shao Yang simultaneously posted a post on his social accounts across the Internet.

[Iron Man is just the beginning. I plan to create a complete Marvel universe in the form of movies in the next ten years. You can look forward to it. 】

The most murderous thing is that Shaoyang also left an actor cooperation mailbox below.

This also announced that Marvel Pictures has officially settled in Hollywood.

……

During the time Iron Man was released.

A very influential event also happened in China. It started with a variety show in Kimchi Country.

This variety show is called "Journey to the West". It is a reality show. The regular guests in the show are all high-status artists from the Kimchi Country, and one time this variety show invited a Kimchi Country girl group as a guest.

In this episode, when an old artist asked a Chinese member of the girl group, "Is the food from the Kimchi Country delicious or the food from the Huaxia Country delicious?"

The Chinese member said honestly: "I still prefer Chinese food."

Unexpectedly, it was such a frank sentence.

After the show was broadcast, this Huaxia member was actually raped by Kimchi Chinese.

"If you don't like Kimchi Country, go back to Huaxia."

"The food in Huaxia looks like it's for pigs?"

"Then why do you still come to Kimchi Country?"

"Go back to China."

A lot of comments like this appeared on the Internet. In the end, the Huaxia girl group member couldn't stand the cyberbullying, so she left the group and returned to China, and suffered from depression.

The matter did not end there.

After Huaxia netizens learned about this incident, they started a scolding war with Kimchi country netizens on the Internet.

The scolding battle started off on Twitter.

But later, as the situation escalated, the media in both countries began to report on the incident, and the scolding war intensified...

As a public figure, Shaoyang has also been urged by many fans to stand up and do something...

Shao Yang didn't take it seriously at first, but he didn't decide to do something until he saw a video of a Chinese man being beaten up in Kimchi Country on the Internet.

then.

Two days later.

Shao Yang posted a Weibo.

[Documentary: "A Bite of China" will be launched soon, the theme of the first issue: The origin of kimchi]
