Chapter 832 Differences between China and the United States

Judging from the current pre-sale situation, "The Matrix 2" is in the leading position, with good feedback from both the theater and the audience. Many popular scenes are almost booked, leaving only one or two rows in the front.

"How is the pre-sale situation in the United States?"

Although Galaxy Pictures is not responsible for the release of "The Matrix 2: Reloading" in the United States, Europe and other countries, as a producer, you still have to pay attention from time to time.

Assistant Xie Xin quickly found the corresponding number ranking online. She said: "The main thing is the real-time ranking of the two major pre-sale websites. We are the ones ranked first for the time being, but the gap behind them is relatively small!"

Lin Han took the iPad and looked at these pictures. On the ticket purchase website of Pulse, "The Matrix 2" is temporarily ranked first, and the current pre-sale box office is US$14.71 million. "Turnon Turtles" and "Tarzan of the Apes" ranked second and third, but the gap is quite obvious.

"Turnon Turtles" is only $5.1 million, and as for "Tarzan of the Apes", it is even worse, only $3.8 million!

On another pre-sale website, MT, "The Matrix 2" is also very strong, with a whopping $18.2 million. The other two movies are not its enemy of one move.

With these two pre-sale websites alone, Lin Han's new film has achieved a pre-sale result of US$32.91 million. Including other large and small websites, the current total pre-sale box office has reached US$41 million!

Of the 41 million US dollars, nearly 80% were released on the first weekend, and only 20% were next Monday or the rest of the time. This also allowed Bo and other box office forecasting agencies to significantly increase the box office forecast of "The Matrix 2" for the first weekend!

Various cinemas in the United States have increased the number of film screenings to meet the needs of the audience. The theater manager has repeatedly emphasized that there are still a large number of empty seats to choose from in the first week of the film's release.

When mainland Chinese audiences are becoming more and more accustomed to buying movie tickets on their mobile phones, Americans on the other side of the ocean are not like this. They are more inclined to buy tickets in the theater!

The Hollywood Reporter once quoted a set of data. The American online ticketing websites accounted for only 15% of the market share, while the Chinese market was a shocking 70%!

The main reason is that these ticketing software in the United States do not have the financial support of big investors and cannot provide huge movie ticket subsidies, which is not attractive to Americans who have already developed the ability to buy movie tickets in cinemas.

The pre-sale box office of 41 million is definitely a super performance, and it can rank among the top five in American film history. The latest pre-sale of the movie exceeded 40 million US dollars or "Jurassic Park" two years ago!

Under the pre-sale box office, there is a professional analysis saying: "The first week of the Matrix 2 is expected to reach US$120 million. The film was just held yesterday and the fans were in advance. The first wave of evaluations has been released. There are 57 ratings on the famous movie rating website Rotten Tomatoes, with a positive review rate of 99%. On another rating website, 21 American media gave the film the highest score of 98 in the year."

The pre-sales for the first three days of the first weekend were more than 30 million US dollars, and more people should go to the cinema seriously, so many people predicted $120 million!

If it is in an unpopular period, the pre-sale box office of more than 30 million is enough to win the weekend box office championship, but if it is in the summer period, it can only compete for second or third.

The higher the media bar movies, the more vigilant Lin Han is. The movie is about to be released, so it can only be said to be resigned to fate. It seems that no matter how bad the box office is, it is not much worse.

...

Xu Jiayan walked into Lin Han's movie studio wearing a baseball cap. He said with lingering fear: "If you go out these days, you can be recognized if you dress so tightly. Those people must have ignorant eyes."

Lin Han looked at him with contempt and said, "Your outfit looks abnormal. Who in the summer will dress so tightly? She has a baseball cap, sunglasses, and a mask. She is afraid that others will not know that you are a star!"

"Do you think I want to cover myself like this?" Xu Jiayan took a few sips of water. He did not go to the roadshow with the rest of the film crew, but stayed in Yanjing.

Because Fox TV wanted to interview him, this was a rare opportunity for Xu Jiayan to show off and could also effectively promote the movie.

If it weren't for the 20th Century Fox, the publisher of "The Matrix 2", Xu Jiayan wouldn't have gotten this opportunity. Originally, Fox wanted to interview Lin Han, but he pushed it to Xu Jiayan!

"Director Lin, do you have any plans to make movies recently?"

Xu Jiayan asked, saying that his Hollywood movies were basically over, but unfortunately, even domestic movies were not worthy of a script, so he could only count on Lin Han.

However, Lin Han shook his head and said, "It's not clear yet. I'll have to wait for a while before talking. Why, do you want to act in a movie?"

"Yes, sometimes being busy becomes a habit, and suddenly being idle is really unacceptable."

"I secretly tell you a little information. Mr. Zheng is preparing an art film recently. It is said to be about anti-trafficking, which is related to child trafficking. Last time I was chatting with a few of them, I heard that he was grinding a script, so you can go to him to ask."

Lin Han has a good relationship with the older generation of directors. Those directors are not dissatisfied with Lin Han because he has been filming commercial blockbusters. On the contrary, they all look forward to Lin Han being able to support half of the Chinese commercial films, base themselves on the domestic market, and counterattack to Hollywood!

Xu Jiayan understood it. He was worried that he would not help his acting skills by acting too much. Now Zheng Shuping's script theme sounds very interesting.

"Anti-trafficking, that group of people really deserves to die. The good children were abducted and had a strong social significance. However, Director Zheng's requirements are very high, and I don't know if they are suitable."

Lin Han patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "You have to have confidence in yourself. At your age, there are indeed many actors in China who can act, but none of them are as famous as you. Besides, what is your relationship with Director Zheng? He has worked on such several movies, but he is still unwilling to accept you?"

As Zheng Shuping's favorite player, Xu Jiayan's several excellent movies were directed by Zheng Shuping, and this incense is very important.

In the entertainment industry, strength is sometimes just a secondary thing. Many times, connections and circles are very important. Actors with connections can appear in many movies.

There is no movie that requires an actor, and every actor can be replaced!

"Then I'll go to Director Zheng to touch the situation now and see you back!" Xu Jiayan refused to delay for a moment. He was about to get up and leave shortly after he arrived.

Lin Han sent him all the way to the door, "After you meet Director Zheng, please give me a greeting. I have been busy recently and haven't seen him for half a month. I don't know how I am."

"Okay, I just said you asked me to visit him and invite him to see your new movie."

Xu Jiayan put on the baseball cap and sunglasses again, threw the mask into the trash can, and it was indeed very hot to cover it.

...

Turning back to the office, Lin Han was sitting on the chair in a daze at this time. He was obviously busy with so many things before the movie was released, but unfortunately he was a little confused.

The new book "2001: A Space Odyssey" is released, and the new movie "The Matrix 2: Reloading" is also about to be released, but I really don't know what to do next.

Although the book sales are very high, the movie box office is good, but it is a bit decadent at this time!

He picked up the car keys and left the office, saying to his assistant Xie Xin: "I'm going home now. If you have any urgent matters, you can call me."

Being a boss is the benefit of this. You can never go to work when you are in a bad mood!

Lin Han was not in a hurry to leave the underground garage. He just turned on the air conditioner and sat inside and listened to the radio.

Obviously, when "The Matrix" was released, he was not prepared and was threatened with the threat of secretly recording videos, but at that time he did not feel tired or tired, but instead participated in the publicity with great energy.

Now the movie sequel seems to be on track, continuing the good reputation of the previous movie, and the box office is much better than the same period!

When the "Matrix" midnight show started, the cumulative pre-sales have not exceeded 100 million, and it is even more incomparable in North America.

The predecessors planted trees and later enjoyed the cool air. It is precisely because of the solid mass base of "The Matrix" that "The Matrix 2" has shown such a box office explosion!

"Sure enough, we should have had more rest, we have used too much in our heads."

Lin Han rubbed his temples with his hands. His memory has indeed reached an extraordinary level. Even if he participates in the strongest brain, he can win the championship!

Every time he relies on his good memory, he desperately squeezed himself, and after using his brain too much, he fell into this mental fatigue.

"Xiaolin, you came back so early? What kind of dishes do you want to eat tonight?" Mrs. Zhou was busy in the kitchen wearing an apron.

"Cook something light. It's too heavy to eat when summer comes, and it's not very comfortable to eat." Lin Han looked around and said, "Where is Shibashi?"

Mrs. Zhou smiled and said, "The weather is hot, so I asked it to swim. Shibashi likes to play with water the most, so let it play enough."

Lin Han smiled and said, "Then you can keep busy, I'll take a look at it!"

The temperature is hot, and swimming can relieve heat. At worst, you can get tanned by the sun.

After he returned to the second floor, he came to the pool barefoot with his swimming trunks. At this time, Shibashi was playing in the swimming pool. Its front paws were digging water and used its head to push the ball floating on the water.

After a while, I dived down and then came out, all my hair was pressed against my body, and my whole body looked a lot thinner!

When Shibashi saw the owner on the shore, he immediately abandoned the ball, swam to the edge of the pool with a dog paddle, and barked non-stop.

After Lin Han did a warm-up activity, he jumped into the water and swam happily with Chai Chai. The pet really had a healing effect. The original mental fatigue gradually disappeared at this time!
