Chapter 687
"What? Is there a change in the middle of this?"
"Lin Han is crazy!"
"Do you think the cinemas are all opened by his family?"
"Is the impact of the leaked movie so great? Isn't it said that the quality is very good?"
"It's a big deal now. Next Friday is soon, it's Sunday."
"Oh, I had this kind of guess when I came because Hollywood was also coordinating the schedule."
The theater managers on the scene were all restless. "The Matrix" is no longer a domestic blockbuster. With the novel of these actors, it all started with 100 million yuan.
But now that the file is changed and the stolen record is rashly, the audience may not have enough confidence in it and think it is a escaping file!
Before the release of any blockbuster, it was not after a month of bombardment. According to the plan, "The Matrix" would not start walking and keeping up with the TV show after New Year's Day.
Even Xu Jiayan and the others have already contacted several major satellite TV ace variety shows and interview programs, and just participate in the recording at that time!
Now that the schedule changes, the actors' promotion must be advanced. If the big names like them want to appear on the show, the TV station will definitely agree, but it will inevitably postpone other stars.
After Lin Han dropped the bomb, he continued: "We have enough confidence in the movie. Friends can watch the movie first and then make a decision. I promise that the movie is absolutely wonderful and better than the trailer!"
After saying that, he stepped off the stage and made the movie "The Matrix" debut today!
These theater managers are actually watching "The Matrix" for the first time. This movie that was praised for its flowers at the World Science Fiction Film Festival attracted their attention.
Everyone basically has expectations and worries. It is true that Lin Han is a good at writing books. Does he have such a high talent in making movies?
Domestic science fiction films have always been a pain in people's hearts. It was not until last year's "Martian Rescue" came out. That movie was completely domestic from the story content to the actors, directors and capital, so it was easy to inspire the audience's patriotism.
Can the Matrix repeat the success of "The Mars Rescue" in the box office this time?
With so many questions, Zhou Kai was fully focused and began to watch the video, and this view took more than two hours!
Zhou Kai was completely immersed in the movie. He forgot what it was like to watch a movie. He usually treated this as a work-based approach, usually analyzing the audience of the movie while watching a movie, etc.
However, this "The Matrix" made him see it from the beginning and the end, and even the boring literary drama was not distracted, let alone those wonderful fighting and special effects scenes!
"No wonder I received so many reviews. It's so unforgiving that this movie is not popular!"
"Just as professional film critics say, it's a perfect movie. It's hard to imagine that it's actually a domestic film."
"If there is no accident, it should be the box office champion of the New Year's Eve!"
If these theater managers had expected "The Matrix" only a few hundred million yuan before the screening, they have put the movie to more than one billion yuan, which is definitely not worse than "Mars Rescue", and even more exciting!
"Martian Rescue" is just a one-man show and has a relatively small structure; "The Matrix" is very prominent in action fighting and visual effects.
If such a good video is not recommended, then what video should I promote?
Anyway, Galaxy Pictures where Lin Han is located has no conflict of interest with their theaters. Any film that is screened will be screened, so it must be played the most profitable one!
After the movie was finished, the theater managers were all excited. Recently, everyone was talking about the low quality of domestic films. Now a rescuer has finally come to save the film market!
...
Although these theaters did not give any answers on the surface, the bank did not spend any effort when signing a contract with theaters. It was very simple to negotiate the contract.
Originally, Chen Jiaxuan wanted to hold a charity auction this month, but it seemed that the entire company did not have that spare time, and every employee was working hard, after all, time was limited!
In the afternoon of that day, Lin Han put the prepared poster of the refurbishment on Weibo. Since it was released in advance, it must be seen by potential audiences, otherwise how would they know they would go to the cinema to support the box office?
Fortunately, the popularity of the movie "The Matrix" has always been good. It was a hot search when it was nominated for the World Science Fiction Film Festival a few days ago. The high evaluations during the film festival were also transported back, so there must be still attractiveness!
What's more, yesterday's gun version resources exploded a lot of diving people. They usually don't talk or post online, but just silently watched various things, but couldn't help but download the movie to watch.
"Today I will tell you a good news, "The Matrix" has been released until this Friday! No need to wait until the first day of the Lunar New Year, this Friday, that is, November 24th, and it will be released globally!"
Following the news were several brand new posters, which clearly stated the words of Friday. This Weibo post has become the headlines of ordinary netizens in the industry and among the ordinary netizens.
Major entertainment bloggers were rushing around, and they didn't understand what happened at all, so why did they suddenly announce that they were upgraded?
Do you think the Spring Festival is too crowded and are worried that you will not achieve good results at that time?
The film that was originally scheduled to be released during the New Year holiday was stunned. Why did such a strong opponent suddenly come? It turned out from a dungeon with an ordinary difficulty to a hell level difficulty!
Many film and television companies and business companies have begun to contact Galaxy Pictures, and the media have even blew up the company's phone number. Once the schedule of films of this level is fixed, it will never be changed easily.
And this change is directly changed to the present. It’s Monday and is very close to Friday!
But the pre-scheduling and pre-sale of the video have not been released yet, and the news comes too quickly like a tornado!
Lin Han was not at this time, and he had to go to Peking University to teach. It was probably blocked by reporters there.
Friends, classmates, and people who have worked with him before, all sent him text messages or WeChat to ask about this matter, which can be said to have aroused all over his body.
The entire Chinese-language film market has been turbulent by "The Matrix". The three movies originally scheduled to be released on Friday are all wailing. They are considering whether to fight with "The Matrix" head-on!
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, a place was vacant because of this, so some ambitious filmmakers were thinking about whether to fill this gap.
It seems that the entire New Year and Spring Festival periods are in turmoil, making people unable to see the specific content.
However, Lin Han’s fans and ordinary audiences support Lin Han’s approach very much, and they wish they could be released today!
"My God, today doesn't seem to be April Fool's Day!"
"Happiness comes so suddenly, I have wanted to watch this movie for a long time!"
"No matter how many people watch the gun version, my ticket to this movie belongs to Teacher Lin!"
"It's so happy that I actually got so long in advance."
"Didn't Teacher Lin participate in that film festival in South Korea? Why did he return to China?"
"I don't know, I guess it's over the screening and the final result has not been announced yet."
"The Matrix is finally here, let's get an appointment!"
"I just finished gnawing the gun version and tears fell down..."
"It is in South Korea. It is said that Teacher Lin had a stolen movie with the film festival. The specific result is unknown. Anyway, I will definitely stand on Teacher Lin this time!"
...
The domestic film market is changing, and Hollywood is not much better.
November is the traditional Hollywood awards season. At the end of the year and the beginning of the year, 6 major film awards and judging activities will be awarded in North America. This year's best films are also available!
These awards are quite numerous and the time is particularly dense, forming the so-called awards season, which is equivalent to a comprehensive assessment of the film works and filmmakers of that year.
From the announcement of Gotham’s independent films at the end of November every year, until the dust of the Oscars was put into place at the end of February and early March of the following year, the Oscar Awards Season, which lasted for up to three months!
Many art films or movies that are aiming to make the Olympics will choose to be released at this time. If it is released too early, no matter how good the reputation is, it will easily be forgotten.
These art films are released on a small scale during the awards season, so the theaters are naturally too busy. Even a large film company like Twentieth Century Fox can only win more than 2,000 screens for "The Matrix"!
This is definitely a large-scale in art films, but compared to the 42oo theaters in the summer "Jurassic Park" are still a lot worse.
This time, the North American box office of "The Matrix" was even worsened by the box office forecasting agency Bo-Oie, and even felt that it could only get a box office of 50 million US dollars in North America!
Because its competitors this time are very strong, first the cartoon "The Legend of the Sea" produced by Disney, and the other is the sequel to "Harry Potter", "Where Are the Fantastic Beasts 2".
And the movie that Lin Han was least willing to encounter was "Bouquet for Algernon"!
That's right, he sold the adaptation rights of the novel to Leonardo's company, and Leonardo did not disappoint his entrusted and handed over the best director and acting skills to this film.
Originally, Lin Han thought that these two movies should not be able to collide with each other. After all, when the "Matrix" is released during the Spring Festival, it will be February 14th!
But things didn't go as expected. When the company changed the film, the two science fiction films that were released in the same family will have a head-on confrontation.
How powerful is Leonardo's box office appeal?
He hasn't appeared in a commercial film for a long time recently, and he acted in Aotixiang's drama films. In almost every such film, the box office in North America can be $100 million, and the global box office exceeds 300 million. His appeal is naturally extraordinary!
