Chapter 546
In fact, the popularity of "Jurassic Park" exceeded everyone's expectations, including Paramount and Lin Han.
For Paramount, they initially did not think that they would lead a trend because the novel was exciting and suitable for adaptation into popcorn movies, and they were suitable for being placed in their cinemas.
Being able to beat the heroes in more than ten movie trailers and being able to equally share the results of the Super Bowl can occupy the focus of media attention. This seems to be the prototype of a phenomenal movie!
Visual effects are indeed developing very quickly today, but "Jurassic Park" is definitely one of the best. The combination of dinosaur vision and close-up view does not only rely on computer CG, but uses handmade dinosaur models as support and then modify them with computer CG.
These dinosaur models can even shake their bodies under the operation of the staff. In this way, the authenticity will increase by several steps and will not be false!
It is precisely because of this authenticity that the audience feels the Jurassic atmosphere that is coming to their faces, making them unable to notice the difference between the screen and reality, and cannot tell it at a glance like other monster movies.
Since Lin Han's novel "Jurassic Park" created a dinosaur trend, people's curiosity about ancient creatures such as dinosaurs has become increasingly strong. There are more popular science works on dinosaurs on the market, but those are basically of worrying quality, just simple things that are made to make money quickly!
Dinosaurs tens of millions of years ago have always been a mystery to modern people. Fossils prove that they really exist. Many people are extremely awe and curious about this mysterious and huge prehistoric creature. Today, with the development of science and technology, scientists restored the dinosaurs based on existing data and evidence and displayed them on the screen.
However, the dinosaurs before were only a small embellishment, but they only appeared in the movies. Now the dinosaurs have not appeared in the movies systematically, so "Jurassic Park" is the first one!
The most important thing is that the dinosaurs appearing in the movie are all lifelike. The movie props and special effects artists have art-processed the appearance of the dinosaurs on a scientific basis, which looks more domineering and fierce, not the kind of shoddy product.
It seems like this is the real dinosaur, and the products in people's minds come to reality, which is in line with the imagination of modern people!
As the founder of dinosaur culture, "Jurassic Park" is naturally popular, and this can even be seen from the advertising implantation of the movie.
As a modern science fiction movie, even if the protagonists are dinosaurs, human characters will appear in the movie, so that they can have quite a few sponsors!
The movie has recovered nearly $60 million in cost before it was released, which can be said to be a very impressive achievement.
The protagonists escaped and rode in Ford, the Coca-Cola in the theme park, the Starbucks coffee follower Jerry ice cream, Burger King, canned cream, etc., the beats headphones carried by the two young actors, the computers used by the staff, and even the jewelry store selling souvenirs in the park is also a real-life jewelry chain company!
Of course, these implants are added without affecting the plot. This can not only reduce cost pressure, but also enhance the authenticity of the movie, making the audience feel that such an island really exists in real life.
These advertisers spent a lot of money on movies. Now seeing "Jurassic Park" is so popular, they all laughed from ear to ear, which is simply worth the money!
A box office big sale is inevitable, the question is how much it can be sold.
In fact, Hollywood does not rely on box office to make money has long been a topic of research by economists. In his research, Edward Epostin, a famous American Hollywood economist, pointed out the way of operating this art holy land: Today's Hollywood is no longer a "dream factory", and in essence it has become a service agency, a clearinghouse for dreams.
Hollywood has a new way of survival. Since every household has TV, the huge family entertainment market is waving to film companies frequently. Now, less than 2% of Americans go out to watch movies at night, and 95% stay at home to watch TV.
TV on-demand fees, DVD sales fees, etc. are not below box office revenue.
After entering the new era, what makes the film companies happy is that the teenage audience they target is also a loyal audience of video games.
As a result, film companies made profits from these fields, and movies became creative props. TV shows, cartoons, videos and video games derived from them were sold all over the world, and their revenues far exceeded that of the movie theater box office.
Today, film companies make less than 15% of their total revenue, but they make 85% of their total revenue from home entertainment projects such as TV, cable TV, DVD, and video.
Hollywood's main task is no longer to tie famous directors, movie stars and all shooting resources to produce movies, but to save the money earned from intellectual property and then distribute it to different places, including those who create, publish and invest in intellectual property.
Hollywood is turning into the art Wall Street in America!
Paramount and its partners felt the market demand for dinosaurs. How could a trailer just satisfy the audience's curiosity? So before the movie was released, peripheral products started to be sold first, which was considered a preheating.
Dinosaur fossil exhibitions are blooming everywhere in the United States, China, and Europe. These dinosaur fossils seem to be very ordinary. After all, there are only bones left, so it is hard to imagine the specific appearance. However, next to it is a restoration of stills provided by Paramount. If you want to see the dinosaurs look more vivid, you will have to go to the cinema in a few months!
LEGO Toys has always had the habit of cooperating with major Hollywood companies. They not only sell toys, but also shoot LEGO Toy movies, with good reputation and box office.
This time Paramount cooperated with them in the dinosaur series. The protagonist who transformed into a building block villain and the building blocks that deliberately changed different scenes were too strong, and there were a variety of dinosaur models to choose from and exquisitely crafted.
"Resurrection of Jurassic Park and life-and-death duel with the dinosaur overlord", once this advertisement was played, the LEGO toy dinosaur series sets grew rapidly!
Paramount even pointed his attention on the cinema. The popcorn buckets sold in the cinema were made into dinosaur eggs, and the accompanying Coke Cup was printed with the words Jurassic Park, which made many viewers who were not ready to eat popcorn couldn't help but buy a bucket just to have a dinosaur egg.
In fact, Paramount's ambitions are not limited to this. Located on the street in downtown Los Angeles, a merchandise store around Jurassic Park quietly opened. On the day of its opening, it became a sea of shoppers. This is a paradise for dinosaur enthusiasts!
Various products can be bought here, from keychains with various dinosaurs and Jurassic Park logos, lunch boxes, water cups and backpacks, to cultural shirts worn on them, even baby carriages and several Ford cars, USB flash drives, mobile phone cases, power banks, dinosaur dolls and even hardcover versions of the original novel of "Jurassic Park", etc., there are hundreds of kinds of products.
Anyone who has bought it knows that it is obviously the same product, but after printing the movie logo, the price will be several times more expensive!
But this did not extinguish the passionate hearts of consumers. Many people originally only took a fancy to a fake dinosaur egg or an artificial amber necklace, but as they walked around, they couldn't help but add the rest to the list. Although it hurts a little when paying, it is not vague to upload the photos to the Internet.
Ford, which was originally used as a decoration, was even bought by the rich, and the purchasing power of consumers should not be underestimated!
In just a few days, the turnover reached two million US dollars, becoming an incredible scene in the eyes of the media.
Many movies are sold well around, but they are basically sold after the movie is released. There is nothing like "Jurassic Park". It started selling hot sales after a trailer was released!
Since the movie peripherals are selling so well, game dealers can't sit still, and the mobile game of the same name, which was originally scheduled to be launched in April, will be sold in advance.
Under such a hot situation, "Jurassic Park: the-game" has grown steadily. After three days of its launch, it has become the top 20 in the US iOS revenue list. After two days of stability, it has reached the top 10, becoming one of the best performances in the movie adapted mobile games!
The unknown mobile game developer has become the most famous company in the world. It has even developed versions in various languages and has successfully promoted them all over the world.
"Jurassic Park" is a game of construction, management and strategy combat. The graphics are very exquisite, and the game scenes, dinosaur character design, combat effects and sound effects are all very good.
The game's time is set in Jurassic, and the players act as dinosaur administrators to collect, cultivate and fight dinosaurs!
Each player has his own Jurassic Park. After randomly drawing a dinosaur egg, it is placed in the park to cultivate and upgrade. To this end, players need to establish corresponding facilities, upgrade laboratories, etc. before they can continue to incubate, feed and upgrade, thereby enhancing their strength.
Of course, in terms of construction, players also need to arrange buildings reasonably to improve the carrying capacity of Jurassic Park, so that more dinosaurs can be cultivated and their combat effectiveness can be improved!
The most important thing in the game is of course combat. In each round of battle, players can carry up to three dinosaurs to fight. They use turn-based methods to fight, and various strategies are required.
The game's payment is mainly to draw dinosaur cards. The combat power of dinosaurs with different star ratings and attributes is obviously different. These paid points can also upgrade buildings, accelerate dinosaur hatching, accelerate dinosaur growth, etc., so it has attracted a lot of money once it was launched!
In order to win a Tyrannosaurus Rex, many netizens kept recharged, but their luck was not good, and their hands were extremely dark, comparable to African chiefs!
So many sales revenue made Lin Han laugh from ear to ear. 5% of this money belongs to him. Of course, he hopes that the surrounding area can sell better and better!
