Dumped at the beginning: The actor's song became popular all over the Internet

I don’t know if it’s a coincidence or if Kuaishou Pictures did this intentionally.

When "Iron Man" was released, "Ghost Rider", which was heavily invested and filmed by Quickshooter Pictures, was also released in cinemas.

Both are science fiction films, so these two movies will naturally be compared together by American netizens.

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

This is also normal.

The director of "Ghost Rider" is Jacobs, who is already somewhat famous. The protagonist is also the famous Hollywood actor Anderson, and the other supporting actors are also somewhat famous actors.

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, theater chains will naturally give "Ghost Rider" a larger film schedule.

Twelve o'clock that night.

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

It's exactly twelve o'clock at noon here, and Shaoyang is eating at the dinner table.

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

"How many?"

"Twenty-three million."

"It's not bad." Shao Yang said with a smile: "It's a little higher than I expected. If it can be stable, the box office in the United States may exceed [-] million US dollars."

Lu Mei also said: "It's no accident, and do you know Kuaishou Pictures?"

"You know, it's the company that merged with Star Luo Pictures and Wren Brothers."

"That's right, the first movie they shot after the merger also coincided with ours. Their first-day box office was $[-] million."

"Their film schedule is higher than ours, right?"

"Yes, eight points higher than us."

"Then there's no problem. Our first movie didn't have a large-scale promotion, and the cast was average. It's normal that the box office on the first day wasn't as good as theirs. Are you paying attention to the situation in North America?"

"Let me count them and send them to you."

"Okay, let's do this first."

hang up the phone.

Shaoyang continued to eat.

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

"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 it can gain a firm foothold, it will be considered a success. After all, tiktok also suffered sanctions when it was first in the United States and managed to survive with great difficulty."

"It's a pity that we are just an entertainment company, not a technology company."

Xue Qi changed the subject and said: "Yiyang Investment is already well-known in the investment industry. MiHoYo, the company you invested in, is now a first-tier gaming company in China, and Ascendas Technology has also been listed on the market."

Shao Yang seemed to understand the meaning of Xue Qi's words. He stopped and said, "Dad, you mean, I can consider investing in technology companies next?"

"Technology is the future."

Shao Yang nodded: "I understand."

……

"The box office on the first day was [-] million? How is this possible!"

the next morning.

When Ryan heard the news in the company, he screamed in disbelief.

Although the manager in charge of connecting with the theater chain didn't quite believe it, he still added: "I have confirmed again and again that the box office of "Iron Man" on the first day was indeed [-] million."

"Why is it so high? They don't do any publicity at all in the United States, and their filming volume is 8 points lower than ours."

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

"Shao?"

"Well, Shao has a great influence in China. As long as the movie he participates in requires little publicity, 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 was so high. Yes."

"You continue to communicate with people from the theater chain, and at the same time arrange for the crew to conduct road shows. We must pursue the victory."

"it is good."

the next day.

Ghost Rider's single-day box office: [-] million.

Iron Man's single-day box office: [-] million.

Day three.

Ghost Rider's single-day box office: [-] million.

Iron Man's single-day box office: [-] million.

Day [-]...

"What is going on here, and why has the box office of "Iron Man" increased!"

The meeting room was quiet.

No one expected this to be the case.

Generally speaking, because there are pre-sales, the box office on the first day is basically the highest. Unless there is a holiday, the box office will tend to decline.

However, Iron Man's box office is still rising at a rate of one million a day, which makes Ryan feel unbelievable and at the same time deeply shocked.

The investment in the two movies is completely different.

But the box office has never opened.

The most outrageous thing is that "Iron Man" is still a work produced by a new company.

Ryan was angry, but this was just the beginning.

"Iron Man" not only achieved good results in China and the United States, but the film's results in North America were even better. The box office on the first day reached US$[-] million, and the box office in the following days also increased. It's been 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 the release of "Iron Man", on November [-]st, Shao Yang posted a post simultaneously on his social media account across the Internet.

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

The most heartbreaking thing is that Shao Yang also left an actor cooperation email below.

This also announced that Marvel Studios has officially entered Hollywood.

……

Around the time Iron Man was released.

A very influential thing also happened in China. This incident first started with a variety show in Kimchi Country.

This variety show is called "Journey to the West". It is a reality show. Several regular guests in the show are relatively high-status artists from Kimchi Country. In one case, this variety show invited a Kimchi Country girl group as guests.

In this program, a very senior artist asked a Chinese member of the girl group, "Which food is better, the food from Kimchi country or the food from China?"

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

I didn't expect it to be such a frank statement.

After the show was aired, this Chinese member was exposed online by Kimchi people.

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

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

"Then why did you come to Kimchi Country?"

"Go back to China."

Comments like this appeared in large numbers on the Internet. In the end, this Chinese girl group member couldn't bear the abuse on the Internet, so she quit the group and returned to China, and she also suffered from depression.

The matter didn't end there.

After Chinese netizens learned about this incident, they started a scolding war with netizens from Kimchi Country on the Internet.

This war of words first took place on Twitter.

But later, as the situation escalated, media from both countries began to report on the incident, and the war of words intensified...

As a public figure, Shao Yang has also been called upon by many fans to stand up and do something...

Shao Yang didn't take this seriously at first. It wasn't until he saw a video on the Internet of a Chinese being beaten in Kimchi Country that he decided to do something.

then.

Two days later.

Shao Yang posted on Weibo.

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