[US Entertainment] From web dramas to Oscars

Chapter 28

"Hi everyone, I'm Elena the reporter. Right now, I'm at the entrance of the ticket office of a movie theater in New York. Although it's already early in the morning, it's like a party here. It's very lively." On the TV screen, a beautiful woman The white female reporter held a microphone and said, "I haven't seen this kind of scene for a long time. So what are they gathering in the cinema for?"

"I'm here to watch "Spiritual: Ghost Records." When interviewing a young girl, the girl said naturally and generously: "It is said that the DV record is real."

"Of course I'm here to watch "Spirituality: Ghost Story"." A teenager said without hesitation: "Is there anything worth staying up late to queue at this time? Seriously, who wants to stay up late? It's not that there aren't many goddamn movie theaters. But maybe a midnight movie would be nice too..."

I interviewed several young people in succession, and all of them answered that they came to watch "Spiritual: Ghost Story".This result did not surprise the female reporter Elena, she turned her head very naturally, and then continued to speak to the screen: "It seems that these young people gathered in the cinema are all for "Spirit: Ghost Story" It came from here. And now many rumors say that "Spirituality: Ghost Story" is real, so is it true? We need further interviews to answer..."

Is "Spiritual: Ghost Story" real?

of course not!

All of this is a publicity method that has been arranged long ago. Even the last actor's name was not written, it was added by Lionsgate in the end.And I have to say, the final finishing touch works very well.Human beings are always creatures who like to make up their minds. The more they make up their minds, the more they feel that it is true.Now, there are various versions on the Internet about the birthday details of Jax or Smith.There was even a perfect job so that neither Fopper nor Jim could find any loopholes.

So under such a background, "Spirit: Ghost Story" is of course more and more attractive.

Many people know the method of hunger marketing, and Lionsgate is no exception. When the number of theaters reaches [-], the movie theater has never expanded.It is because there are not enough movie theaters that people line up to watch movies in the middle of the night.At the same time, such a scene also makes "Smart: Ghost Story" more attractive.The TV station interviewed him.

Unlike newspapers, interviews on TV stations are of course traceable, so when Brian looked at the reporter lady Elena in front of him, he could only shrug his shoulders, and then said: "Of course not true, "Spirit: Ghost "Photo Record" is just a DV movie jointly produced by our company and Huaxia's Goldfinger Studio. It's like "The Blair Witch" a few years ago."

The legend of "Spirit: Ghost Story" has been broken!This has a lot of people cursing Lionsgate and Goldfinger they don't know what it is.Scold them for deceiving them, although "Spiritual: Ghost Story" is very good-looking.However, the fact that "Ling Dong: Ghost Story" is a fake has indeed affected the broadcast. In the third week, the attendance rate of "Ling Dong: Ghost Story" immediately dropped sharply, compared to those who did not know the situation. In the hot and messy third week, the box office of "Spiritual Ghost Records" in the fourth week was only a pitiful 800 million US dollars.Compared with the 500 million US dollars in the third week, which won the weekly champion box office again, it is simply heaven and earth.

But there was some upside to this situation, in that Fopper and Jim gained far more fame than they could have imagined.

Because "Smart: Ghost Story" did not write who the actor is at the end?So after it was revealed that "Spirituality: Ghost Story" was not true, the real information of Fopper and Jim was turned upside down by those young people who still insisted that "Spirituality: Ghost Story" was true. Predictively overturned.And in this way, Fopper and Jim Parsons became famous, and even Fopper's other movie "Tuner" became famous.Because when people know that Jax in "Spirit: Ghost Story" is a Venice actor, of course they are curious about the movie.

While the outside world is making troubles about "Spirit: Ghost Story", Lionsgate Films is holding a small celebration party.

"Cheers!" Everyone raised their glasses and bumped them together. The sound of the clear glasses colliding was like sweet music, infecting the people present with cheerful emotions.Of course, this is because they are all happy now.If "Spirituality: Ghost Story" is not so good, maybe this sound is another feeling, or in other words, this party will not exist.

"One hundred million dollars!" Brian said after taking a sip of champagne, "or a total of one hundred and ten million dollars. !"

"Although I am not hitting you, but Brian, the box office of "Spirit: Ghost Story" is not optimistic in the last week." Wen Ziren who was sitting on the side said.

"The subsequent release period is for "Spirit: Ghost Story" to make up for the disadvantage of only one day in the first week of release. And looking at the box office of "Spirit: Ghost Story" in the third week, there may be a 500 $[-] thank goodness. Maybe even less.”

"That's the box office!" Brian couldn't deny it: "Even if the box office of 300 million US dollars in the future is enough for us to pay back." It will be recorded in the history of movies. A movie with a return rate of more than 50.00%!"

Speaking of return, that's one-half of a movie's box office minus cost.This is done to let people know how profitable this movie is.In fact, generally, the rate of return of a film must reach more than [-]% to ensure that the film company will not lose money.Because the final benefits of the film are not entirely the film production company's.In terms of theaters, production companies, actors and directors, etc., a series of aspects will further divide the profits of the movie's box office.What's more, the cost of the movie only refers to the production cost of the movie, and the promotion cost of the movie is not included in it.Therefore, it would be wrong to only look at the rate of return of a movie to see whether the movie made money.

Of course, the movie "Spirit: Ghost Story" is sure to make money.And it's the kind that makes a lot of money.Even the promotional expenses of "Spiritual Ghost Records" cost $100 million.However, the box office of "Smart: Ghost Story" exceeded [-] million yuan, which also enabled all parties to make a lot of money.

And it's like Bryan said that since Ghost Story is a movie, it's already been reported.Therefore, various movie-related newspapers in Hollywood began to report "Spirit: Ghost Story" crazily.

"The return rate has reached more than [-]! "Spirit: Ghost Story" has created the latest history of film return rate!"

——The Hollywood Times

"Are you still shocked by the super return rate of "The Blair Witch" exceeding 30.00% 50.00? Now you can change the direction of shock. Because just now, the film return rate of "Spirit: Ghost Story" It has far surpassed "The Blair Witch" and reached a terrifying [-]%!"

"What we need to sigh here is the unparalleled promotional imagination of the two film production companies, Lionsgate Films and Goldfinger Studios. Such advertising has made people's curiosity about "Spiritual Ghost Records" reach its peak Peak. And because of the limited number of movie theater distributors, it further stimulated people's desire for "Spirit: Ghost Story". A week or two ago, among young people, seeing "Spirit: Ghost Story" People are always the most eye-catching. Because from his mouth, you can know what is the content of "Spirit: Ghost Story"? What happened to Jax and Smith in Defoe's haunted house. The unknown is always the most Fascinating. Lionsgate has used it well!"

"A coward strayed in! "The Ghost Story" was selected as the number one scariest movie of the year!"

-- "Los Angeles Times"

"The Ghost Story is a real surprise at the end of the summer. It cost $[-] to make, $[-] million in box office, and two weeks in a row at the top of the box office. The fame of "Ghost Story" is destined to be recorded in history. But it's not just that, the dark horse of the movie in [-] is destined to be black to the end! According to the statistics of Movie Network, so far, the scariest movie of the year "Spirit: Ghost Shadow" "Record" took the first place with the absolute number of votes, and the last scene must have scared thousands of moviegoers so that they couldn't sleep."

"Chinese directors drive the box office!"

——The Sun

"Venice actor reproduces the actor-level performance!"

— "Screen Actors Guild"

Various newspapers and magazines reported on "Anime: Ghost Story". It can be said that Fopper has gained more fame than he imagined because of this movie.He even said that at the beginning of September, he received an unexpected invitation.

The author has something to say: Dear friends, first of all:

Thank you Yaomu Xiaomeng

Ahhh little cute thing

Qingshui Ruozhu little cute thing

Gu Junruo is a cute little thing

Then I announced one thing: I will enter V on June [-]st, please be prepared, it should have been V last week, so I fooled it.

Then the situation of v may not necessarily be reversed, and v may not. This has to wait for the editor's notice.Also, I know that many, many dears like to grow fat, but please. must. It is very important to buy the V on the first day before raising (>_<), please. It is very important to buy the V on the first day before raising it on June [-] (>_<) (it is said that the important use should be said twice)

After that, I revised it because of some problems in the previous chapters.Then came "Living with a Stewardess" and said no, I changed it to "Living with a Teacher", and then said that I have a teacher-student relationship, and then changed it to a doctor... God knows there is a teacher-student relationship!And what the hell is that the name Zhang Yunlong cannot appear in the article, damn it is also a sensitive word!It's clearly my childhood name, okay? I grew up with him and didn't feel that he was sensitive at all!So the article may suddenly be inconsistent in some places, don't worry~ I will correct it slowly.

What's the last
