Post-shadow Development Plan

But Fox's premiere was indeed very grand and lively.

It was already night, but the almost non-stop flashing lights on the red carpet turned the Chinese Grand Theater into daytime.

And the bustling crowd crowded the road in front of the theater to the point where it couldn't get through.

Numerous stars closely related to Fox walked through the red carpet one by one, and many movie fans even felt dazzled.

As the president of Fox, Jim Ganopoulos certainly didn't have to go down to meet these people.

He and these stars are basically two food chains, and he has more important things now.

"Ster." Jim Ganopoulos asked his assistant, "Has the pre-sale box office results for "Night at the Museum" come out?"

Ster said helplessly: "So far less than 2000 million."

Jim Ganopoulos frowned, although he knew that the first round of box office of the original IP would not be too high, but the current situation obviously does not satisfy him.

Of course, the pre-sale results are definitely not equal to the box office results on the premiere day, but it can also be seen.

If there is no competitor, even if the box office of "Night at the Museum" is not satisfactory at the premiere, it can still achieve a high box office result by relying on the theme and the Christmas holiday.

This is also the advantage of children's movies.

But now the problem lies with this competitor.

Needless to ask, Jim Ganopoulos could have guessed that "Iron Man" would fare better than "Night at the Museum."

"Find a way to increase the box office of the film to 2000 million on the first day of its premiere."

Jim Ganopoulos ordered that, as a senior industry insider, he did not plan to beat "Iron Man" at the box office on the premiere day, and his goal was to overwhelm the opponent at the box office in the end.

But "Night at the Museum" can't lose too badly. After all, if the gap is too big, I'm afraid we won't even be able to fight.

The assistant didn't ask how to get the box office. Some things can only be done but not talked about.

-------------------------

Today is the opening night of the Christmas file in 2006. Two large-scale productions with a production cost of hundreds of millions of dollars started the fight across the United States with New York and Los Angeles as the starting points.

And no one knows who the ultimate winner of this war will be.

But everyone expected it.

As a die-hard fan of Qiye, Ms. Rong believes that her idol will not be a loser, but she also looks forward to the final quality of this movie called "Iron Man".

According to the organizer's request, media reporters who enter the theater need to hand over their photography and video equipment to avoid theft.

For such a request, Miss Arong certainly expressed her understanding.

After urging her attendant cameraman brother to hand over the camera, she quickly entered the venue and found her place.

Perhaps it was due to Jiufeng's concern for fellow villagers, their seats in "The Secret Treasure of Movies" were quite good, not only the seats were in the middle and back section, but even the organizers specially provided drinks.

Miss Arong sipped the Coke slowly while looking at the seating arrangement of the theater.

As she had expected, in terms of seating arrangement in the cinema hall, the best seats were given to film critics and invited guests, the second-best seats were given to media people, and the last corner seats were given to others. to the general audience.

[I really envy those people. 】

Miss Arong glanced at Kenneth Turan who was sitting not far from her. This well-known film critic's treatment was obviously better than her own.

There are not only drinks, but even souvenirs specially prepared by the crew.

In fact, Ah Wing has one goal, which is to become a well-known professional film critic.

Although the influence of film critics has been weakening these days, if they can reach the top, their income is still very considerable.

Especially those famous film critics, whose annual income can even reach millions of dollars.

After all, Miss Arong's current position as an entertainment reporter is worse than that of a film critic, and she is more affected by trends.

Especially now that the number of magazine subscriptions continues to decline, life is not very easy for major magazines.

Of course Miss Arong had to find a way out for herself in advance.

It's just that in this Internet age where everyone can be a film critic, it's not easy to stand out.

Especially those who stand at the top of the industry, all of them are supported by big financial backers.

"I also need to find a backer, maybe Jiufeng is a good choice."

Miss Arong thought that Jiufeng Entertainment hadn't cultivated a special pen yet, so this might be her chance.

"Senior Arong, what are you talking about?"

Seeing his companion muttering to himself, the cameraman brother asked curiously.

"Nothing, the movie is about to start."

Miss Arong put down her drink glass, took out her notebook and a signature pen, and waited intently for the movie to start.

Soon, the lights in the auditorium dimmed, and with the countdown countdown featured in IMAX, the movie "Iron Man" finally started.

The opening title of "Iron Man" is very simple. Except for the page-turning opening of Jiufeng Entertainment logo and Marvel logo, the movie content directly begins.

Different from the way the story of traditional superhero movies unfolds, the story of "Iron Man" does not have a grand world view at the beginning, nor does it make too much preparation like "Batman", but starts with a military jeep, and AC/DC's classic song "Back in Black".

It's not an action scene, it's not an explanation of the world view of the universe. Through the conversation between Tony Stark and a few soldiers, all audiences get to know this very classic movie character in the next ten years.
