You Made Me a Superstar

  Chapter 554 Box Office!

   "How much is the box office of China's premiere?"

   "Seventy-two million!"

   "Where is the premiere on Lao Mei's side?"

   "Two million eight hundred and thirty thousand dollars!"

   "What? There are still 2.83 million US dollars in box office in Laomei?"

noon.

  Yanjing, in the crew of "Liao Zhai Painted Skin 2", Jiang Ge was stunned.

   Watching Spider-Man's box office in disbelief.

  After receiving the box office and watching it many times, I finally looked at the box office table of Overseas Star Ocean Cinemas, which is accurate for each area.

  After watching the attendance rate of the premiere and the last show, Django felt incredible.

  The premiere was the lowest occupancy rate of the movie "Spider-Man". The average occupancy rate was only about 30%, which was so embarrassing that people thought it was a joke.

  But the attendance rate of the next four movies is more and more amazing...

  Thirty-five percent, fifty-five percent, seventy percent, fifty percent...

  At the peak moment, "Spider-Man" actually had an astonishing 70% film schedule. Even in the midnight show, the occupancy rate of the last movie was actually over 50%.

  Such an astonishing occupancy rate has turned Django from unbelievable and successful to shocking!

   There are a total of fifty states in the old America in this world.

  In almost every state, there are a few newly opened Xingyang Cinemas.

  Their predecessors were old bankrupt theaters that were acquired and refurbished, or rented and rebuilt streets in unpopular areas, or the transformation of shopping malls that could not keep up with the times in the last century...

In just half a year, Zhou Yang even spent all his savings so far in the industry. Often, as soon as the share of a movie or an endorsement project is paid off, the capital behind Miao Miao will enter the ranks of funds for overseas expansion in the next second. After this disorderly expansion, there are 70 movie theaters in Laomei. Each movie theater has four ordinary screening halls, with an average of about 200 seats in each screening hall, and a 3D VIP screening hall with 30 seats A little more, probably around 300...

  The ticket price for a normal screening of "Spider-Man" is about $10, while the price for a 3D screening is $15.

  A total of six games were played!

  Even if all the seats are 100% for each show, the total box office will only be more than 4 million US dollars!

  $2.83 million debut...

   It can already be called a box office miracle!

  After more than ten minutes, Jiang Ge silently put down the box office report of "Spider-Man", and the whole person began to feel lost and mixed.

  Hollywood blocked, expelled, suppressed, ridiculed, not favored...

When all the bad things are on him, even countless domestic filmmakers feel that Zhou Yang can't stand it and wants to leave Laomei. From then on, like other ambitious Chinese directors, he spends spring, summer, autumn and winter in China. From the coal mining area, the bottom-level young people who have come out step by step have broken free from the blockade again and are about to create an amazing myth.

   "Director Jiang, Director Jiang?"

"Forehead?"

  The assistant's voice was faintly heard in Django's ear.

  Jiang Ge woke up from his trance, and after looking at the data again, there was only admiration in his heart, without any jealousy or eyes.

  Jiang Ge seems to see a flame blowing in the wind, raining, and in the extremely cold darkness, but it never goes out, but burns more and more vigorously...

  ……………

Delaware.

  The financial crisis is getting worse.

  Although the financial and real estate industries in Delaware have not been hit as deeply as in other regions, they are still in a state of desperation.

  Governor Howard is working overtime almost around the clock and holding meetings, discussing with his staff how to restore the sluggish economy.

  But the answer that came out after going back and forth, only the official came forward...

  For example, New York has allocated tens of billions of dollars to the market, preparing to give the people a shot in the arm during this period of panic.

Howard also heard a rumor that the president has started a new round of "economic recovery" plan, preparing to withdraw troops from Iraq while withdrawing some large-scale aid projects. In addition, there will be Promulgation of "recommendations" to the states.

  Because almost every state in the old United States is self-governing, Howard takes these so-called "suggestions" completely to heart.

  June 21st.

  When last month's economic report was placed in Howard's hands, despite the preparations in his heart, Howard still felt a sense of dullness.

  In June, the various tourism industries and entertainment consumption industries shrank by 20% compared with the previous month, and the unemployed population increased by 5%...

   After dealing with the matter, the exhausted Howard got in the car and went home, intending to take a good rest.

  But no one could have imagined that the house with a very good tutor was noisy on weekdays. When he first entered the door, he saw his youngest son climbed onto the roof and yelled.

  The wife stood guard at the door very nervously, for fear that the child would suddenly jump down irrationally.

This made Howard very nervous. After finally persuading the child to come down from the roof and bring him home, the child didn’t stop, and put his palms against the wall, as if he was imitating a gecko, and kept trying. Climbing up, when I couldn't climb up, I stared at my fingerprints very annoyed for a long time, and kept saying things like "mutation" and "mutation".

  The youngest son was very naughty since he was a child, and Howard didn't take it to heart at all. After instructing his wife and nanny, he went back to sleep.

In the evening, he was awakened by his wife's screams, and then he put on his clothes and ran out in a hurry, only to see his wife looking palely at his son playing with a colorful pet spider, and let the spider Bite his finger.

   "Howard, I am very angry now, he is your son, let me tell you, I am very angry now!"

"What's wrong?"

   "..."

  The child's abnormal behavior finally caught Howard's attention. Then, he lowered his head patiently and asked what was going on.

Under his questioning, the nanny and his wife finally told him that they took their children to watch a movie called "Spiderman". Asking them to buy a pet spider, after being rejected, the child actually bought a pet spider from the Internet without authorization and raised it...

  The wife keeps complaining about Howard's busyness, so busy that he doesn't care about the children, and even keeps saying that the movie "Spider-Man" is a "dangerous", "seductive", and even "toxic" movie.

  When Howard heard "Spider-Man", he immediately felt that the movie was a little familiar...

When he picked up his mobile phone, he asked his staff to check the producer of "Spider-Man". When he saw the film produced by "Delaware Film and Television Base", he immediately thought of a smiling but confident man. Full of Chinese men.

  He vaguely remembered that half a year ago, that Chinese man found him and chatted with him about "Spider-Man" and the situation of the film and television base in Delaware.

  At that time, he thought it was funny, but he didn't take it seriously at all...

   After all, this young man who was excluded by Hollywood, in a sense, has almost been sentenced to death by the American film industry.

  A man sentenced to death by the film industry, chatting with himself about film and television bases, about movies, about the industry, is simply a tramp talking about cooperation with entrepreneurs...

   It's a big joke.

  After recalling the content of chatting with that Chinese man, this time Howard felt nothing but accidents!

"This "Spider-Man" must be banned. This is terrible. After seeing this movie, how can many children bear it? Alyosha's classmates also went crazy after watching this movie yesterday. clamoring to be a hero..."

  The angry voice of his wife echoed in Howard's ears over and over again.

   Seeing his always elegant and dignified wife's face almost distorted, after accusing "Spider-Man", Howard felt an unprecedented sense of doubt and curiosity!

  In the context of this great era, when Laos and the United States as a whole are in an atmosphere of panic and anxiety, consumption, especially the secondary consumption industry, will reach an unprecedented low point. This is something that all economic experts agree on.

  But in this environment, there are still people watching superhero movies like "Spider-Man", and judging by his wife's attitude, it seems that the audience's reaction after watching it is particularly strong...

   Is this...

   Regardless of his wife's nagging, he called his assistant, and got the "Spider-Man" information immediately.

When he wanted to go with his assistant to see what kind of movie it was, he suddenly heard a very incredible news: "What did you say? In other theaters in Delaware, there is no "Spiderman"? Only In a remote place, does the newly opened Xingyang Cinemas have it? And the movie tickets are sold out?"

   "Today's box office is all sold out, and tomorrow will be the same? The midnight show is sold out? Only remote places have tickets?"

"how can that be?"

  Howard then asked his assistant to bring more information on the film reviews of "Spider-Man". After reading the film reviews, he became more interested in the film.

   Immediately afterwards, he checked the information of Xingyang Cinemas. He became more interested when he saw that Xingyang Cinemas had expanded wildly a few months ago, and that each of its cinemas only played "Spider-Man".

   "Go, go to the cinema!"

   "It's so far, Mr. Howard, are you really going?"

   "Go, take a look at so many movie fans, whether it is true or not, and at the same time, let the gentlemen of the marketing department come over and analyze, can you see something from "Spiderman"..."
