[US Entertainment] Top Hollywood directors

This is $23 billion, which is unbelievable considering the $22 billion of the world's highest-grossing "Titanic" so far.

Ian patted the computer: "Old man, you are joking with me, how could you calculate such a large number?"

He shook his head and said to his colleagues: "There must be a problem with the formula." The highest price he estimated in his mind was the same as the "Spider-Man" series, one billion would be enough, and one billion is already a very successful box office result. up.This means that this investment can achieve a profit of 10:1, and such examples are one of the few in so many commercial films.

Ian still can't figure out where his mistakes are. His data on the audience is obtained from a random sample of the market "Will you watch Ghost in the Shell" questionnaire.

Although the IP of this movie is very large and has its own traffic, it is limited by its own subject matter and core. Mostly, it's not a family flick, and like Titanic or later Avatar, it's only going to have a limited run.

So what he substituted into the calculation was a small number, logically such a "wrong result" would not occur.But Ian’s mistake was to underestimate his formula. Computers are straightforward. If you give it the relevant programs, it will calculate down. He underestimated the impact of word-of-mouth on the box office.In this most classic example of "word of mouth affects the box office" in later generations, Ian's computer calculated it, but now Ian doesn't believe it.

A few months later, Ian faced an interview and said: "Yes, I calculated this string of numbers at the time."

"Oh, it's not very powerful, the powerful thing is the formula." From Ian, whose company's stock price has risen to the limit due to a colleague's disclosure.

The film critic Alfred took out his reading glasses and started writing his own review of Ghost in the Shell without stopping after watching the movie. "The Times" has been waiting for a long time, but Alfred has been unable to hand in a suitable manuscript. He shook his hand at the editor who came to urge the manuscript: "Wait a minute, it's not finished yet." The editor looked at the paper in the wastebasket beside the desk There was a mountain of waste paper, and Alfred, who seemed to be doing an epic math problem on the seat, lost his voice.

In the "Global Times" interview with Claire, the editor who hadn't waited for the manuscript to come was also at a loss for ideas about the blank page that should be vacated for Ghost in the Shell.

The editor-in-chief of "Global Times" was devastated, and kept asking the editors below: "Those writers who have always been like inkjet printers have lost their voice recently? What should I do with such a long blank page? What do you want me to do?" manage?"

As the first people who could see the movie, they lost the sound.

What does it mean?

As the most watched movie in the entire summer, all parties are eager to get first-hand news.

But no, they don't disclose.This confuses those around me.

In the embarrassing situation where no one spoke, there was a special voice. When Martin Scorsese was promoting "The Aviator" with Leonardo DiCaprio, he told the Global Times The reporter said: ""Ghost in the Shell" is an excellent comic film, unparalleled excellence."

These words directly shocked everyone's jaws. Aren't you competitors?Is there anyone who praises their opponents so much? Is this a new type of bundled marketing?

Facing the questioning of the media, Martin said directly: "Believe it or not."

The words of the famous straightforward boy in Hollywood made everyone even more curious.

What makes a great director like Martin praise his competitors so much?It still looks completely voluntary.

"Global Times" had a topic, so it directly vacated Martin's words on the page, accompanied by the extremely eye-catching "Old Martin was stunned after watching the movie: a masterpiece!" ".

Regardless of whether anyone has an answer to why Martin would say that, Ghost in the Shell is set to arrive.

In the middle of the night, amidst the sound of three alarm clocks, Sato finally grabbed a ticket for the premiere.Like many people in China, he flew directly to the United States to watch the premiere.

There are huge promotional posters posted in the movie theater, and he looked at the ticket he just got from the box office in his hand, with a small poster printed on it.

The one in the middle is Suzi played by Rinko Kikuchi, and next to her are the members of the "Nine Public Security Classes".

Suzi is wearing a transparent optical invisibility suit. They rely on each other. They are the strongest individual and the best team.

Sato looked at the small poster with moist eyes.He rubbed his eyes lightly, pretending nothing happened.

Think about the "Ghost in the Shell" that I came into contact with when I was in middle school, and it has been ten years now.In the past ten years, he took off his school uniform and stepped into the nine-to-five society.

When your favorite anime finally becomes a real person one day, you are no longer the kid who would secretly make up episodes under the covers.

This kind of feeling is complicated, and many people always think that fans of the original work are the hardest to please.In fact, they are also the best group of people to appease, and the official release of a fan around can make them scream in surprise.Their resistance in the face of "people who don't understand the connotation" is for dreams.They need sincerity, not someone who wants to earn their respect and put a bunch of garbage in their faces.

There are too many such things happening, so much that they no longer trust the consumer sentiment of "adapting into film and television".Those businessmen, when can we give them a good answer, and when can we let you know that we are really easy to satisfy?

He rubbed his eyes, "Sister Suzi, who has been with me for so many years, here I am."

The moment he walked into the movie theater, he seemed to be a boy who would bounce around on the way home from school, instead of the industry elite in suits and ties in the mirror.

At the same time, Jessica Alba, wearing a mask and peaked cap, slipped into a movie theater very close to her residence like a thief.

She looked at her seat on the ticket stub, there are 5 seats in a row.

She lowered the brim of her hat, walked to her place, and sat down.It was only later that she realized that there was another person who was dressed similarly to her, and she also covered herself tightly.Curious, she looked over, just as the person next to her looked over, and they looked at each other.

"What a weirdo." The two thought at the same time.

The movie has already started showing.

Jessica held the popcorn she bought at the front desk and ignored the people next to her.After hearing the familiar and eerie music, she clenched her hands tightly, her eyes fixed on the screen unconsciously, and her heart was pounding.

"I'm coming!"
