Chapter 468 All parties are looking forward to
"X-Men First Class" will be released on June 3, although the reputation is not bad.
But due to the overall replacement of young new actors.
It received 56 million at the box office in the first weekend, which is far behind the previous $102 million of "X-Men 3".
In the same period, there was a lack of other large-scale releases in the market, and the overall market fell by nearly 30%.
The accumulated desire to watch movies will most likely explode in the next wave.
Among Disney’s senior executives, Ryan, who is responsible for marketing and distribution, couldn’t help but secretly sigh, Chen is indeed the one who has found a good schedule.
He pulled out today's newspaper prepared by his assistant.
The first one is the local Los Angeles Times.
The headline on the entertainment page reads: "The Black Pearl is passing by, and the infinite world is about to unfold to the world."
This is a report that explains several major Disney movie series.
The reporter who wrote the report predicted that "Infinite World" will be the new Pirates of the Caribbean.
To be honest, it feels like opening the champagne at halftime.
But Ryan was very happy to see it.
The company has created a new gold mine, which everyone at Disney is happy to see.
He sincerely hopes that the predictions in the report will come true.
To this end, the company has been working frantically on various channels.
In an office building in Los Angeles, Langdon secretly glanced at the manager's position to confirm that it was safe.
Then he clicked on the webpage and found the "Infinite World" discussion community that he often visited.
""Infinite World" can already be booked in advance. After nearly ten years of waiting, friends, this is our carnival moment."
The first post I posted was about booking movie tickets in advance.
“Judging from the news from various sources, except for a few old-fashioned film critics, almost everyone who has watched it has given it good reviews. I am beginning to look forward to the moment when I watch the movie.”
“June 10th, only a few days away.”
“I have already bought my tickets.”
“…”
The people in this community are basically book friends who have read the novel "Infinite World" in the past.
Everyone has long imagined what it would be like if the novel was turned into a movie.
Now that several trailers have been released, everyone has quietly raised their expectations.
After several internal test screenings, the reviews were also very high.
The atmosphere in the community became anxious, and they couldn't wait to sit in the cinema and watch the finished film as soon as possible.
The few posts just now are examples.
Langdon shook his head, he was still so impatient and had no patience at all.
Then he clicked on the ticket purchase website and bought the tickets for Friday night, the day of the premiere.
Look, I'm not in a hurry at all.
I just stopped by to watch a movie after get off work on Friday.
Next door to Langdon, Fili is also secretly fishing on the Internet.
He looked at Emma Watson’s homepage on Twitter, showing a doting smile.
After following "Harry Potter" for many years, my favorite is the young actor who plays Hermione.
I have been her fan for 5 years.
Langdon scrolled down the comments.
I found that Emma posted a new comment yesterday:
""Infinite World" will be released in 4 days, please support it."
A photo of the show is attached below In the photo of the room, Chen and Benedict were sitting next to her, showing funny expressions.
They seem to have a good relationship.
In the past few days, Emma has been receiving information related to "Infinite World".
This made Fili somewhat uncomfortable.
He is a fan of Harry Potter, especially Hermione.
Some time ago, because of the news spread on the Internet.
He almost got into a fight with his colleague Langdon over their respective favorite novels.
That person Langdon looked down upon this and that every day.
How dare you say that the plot of "Harry Potter" is not exciting enough and not as good as "Infinite World".
Haha, it feels ridiculous just thinking about it.
However, I recently heard that Chen, the author of "Infinite World", is a senior "Harry Potter" fan.
Ms. jk Rowling also seems to like "Infinite World".
Fili looked at Hermione smiling happily on the screen, and then looked at the comments in the comments that he hoped everyone would support.
So I gritted my teeth and opened the ticket purchase website and bought a ticket for Friday.
"Just go and check it out after get off work. Just think of it as supporting Hermione." He thought to himself.
After June, as schools in North America begin to go on vacation, the hot summer season is coming.
The box office battle is also about to heat up.
Bob Gerry is the owner of a boutique store located next to a movie theater on Hollywood Boulevard.
Therefore, in addition to some special souvenirs, he also sells some movie peripheral products.
In recent times, the most popular movies such as "X-Men", "Infinite World", "Transformers" and "Harry Potter" have recently participated in the summer box office war.
Now Bob is instructing the store staff to free up some space in the store and continue to sell new peripherals of "Infinite World".
In addition to the Lord God watches, Chinese charms and other novel peripherals that have been selling well before.
Now a lot more content has been added:
The weapons and props used by the protagonists in the movie, the miniature version of the protagonist's room, and various props redeemable by the Lord God, etc. (copyrighted).
The most eye-catching thing is naturally the life-size statues of the protagonists of the Central Continent team.
Of course, these figures are not for sale now.
It’s just for show by the film producers. However, just after it was set up, several customers passing by already asked about the price.
It looked like he was eager to try it. If Bob hadn't been unable to sell it, he would have really spent money to buy it.
You must know that this thing is not cheap, at least tens of thousands of dollars each.
"Hurry up, put these goods in the warehouse. Move those outdated things in the warehouse directly to our No. 2 warehouse."
Bob thinks about the warehouse I feel uncomfortable surrounding those past failed movies.
Although he has a good vision, there are always times when he makes a mistake. As time goes by, the unsold goods gradually accumulate.
"Boss," the assistant came over and said hesitantly, "we bought so many goods at once this time. Isn't it a bit too risky? If there is a delay..."
"Don't talk nonsense," Bob said with a hand Yang, interrupting the spellcasting, "Where are we now? When "Harry Potter" was first released, I bought a lot of goods."
Many times, there are a lot of things around. Produced in batches.
Some producers, for the sake of commercial interests, make different peripheral products in each batch.
Therefore, the popular peripherals of the first generation tend to be more popular.
Bob made his first pot of gold by relying on a bold gamble.
"Infinite World" is almost the most popular novel series after "Harry Potter".
At the end of the day, he can become the next "Twilight".
Considering that there are so many classic movie worlds that appear in the novel, it is a high probability that it will surpass "The Twilight Saga".
So in his opinion, this operation is not a gamble at all.
Next to Bob's store, in front of the cinema, several high school students who had just had their vacation were gathering together to discuss something.
"Carlos, are we here too early? It's only the 7th, and the movie won't be released in two or three days."
The blond and sunny Carlos crossed his arms with confidence. With her plump and handsome face, you can tell from one look that many little girls will like her.
No, before he spoke, the girl beside him, Rachel, spoke.
“Evans, if you come back in two days, you might not have a ticket.”
"It can't be that fast. It's not a movie like Harry Potter." Evans felt heartbroken when he saw his beloved girl always speaking for others.
"Humph, you underestimated "Infinite World" too much. I'm afraid that by then, I won't be able to buy tickets for the day at all."
"No way!"
"How is it impossible? So many people on the Internet say that "Infinite World" is very good-looking."
"That's right, Chen is a genius, and the movie he makes will definitely be good-looking."
"You are so superficial."
"You are so superficial."
Carlos didn't pay attention to his friends' arguments.
He thought they were a little noisy.
Especially Rachel, for some reason, always follows him and Evans.
Disturbing their surging brotherhood.
Could it be that she has a crush on Evans?
Carlos thought disdainfully, this little kid's relationship is so boring, there are no good novels or movies.
What a mortal wisdom.
He felt like Chu Xuan, who had seen through all living beings.
Several people walked into the cinema noisily.
Even on a weekday afternoon, there are many people in the cinema. After all, it is a bustling place like Hollywood Boulevard.
After queuing up, Carlos took the lead and said confidently to the conductor,
"Hello, I have 5 tickets for "Infinite World" at 7 pm on June 10, thank you. "
"Sorry, the tickets for this time period have been sold out," the conductor said regretfully.
"What?" Carlos' confident expression couldn't hold back, "Why so fast."
"Is there an earlier time?" he asked anxiously.
"Yes, but the good seat in the middle is no longer available. Do you want it?"
A few people discussed in a low voice and bought the tickets.
“Look, I told you to come early.” Rachel raised her eyes at Evans.
Evans blushed and insisted, "Even if the tickets for one time period are sold out, it doesn't mean that they will be sold out for the whole day in a few days."
"You are so stubborn. Right."
"That's right, Evans is just stubborn."
A few people took turns to criticize the loser.
Only Carlos was a little disappointed and didn't say anything. I was fine, but I made a mistake.
Haven't I reached Chu Xuan's level yet?
Beverly Hills, Chen Linfeng’s residence.
Liu Qianqian was picking up a goose yellow dress and comparing it to her body, "Xiao Feng, does this one look good?"
"Yes, it's okay."
She gestured to another white one, "Where's this one?"
"It's pretty."
Liu Qianqian didn't want to, "Why do you always deal with me? Is it because I've been away for a few days and some goblin hooked up with you?"
Chen Linfeng was sliding. Use your computer to check the pre-sale status of today's movies.
Hearing this, he had to raise his head and said helplessly, "Who are you listening to to spread rumors?"
"Xiao Chang told me that Emma Watson recently posted You are so close.”
Liu Qianqian put down her clothes, came behind Chen Linfeng, and leaned close to him.
She said aggrievedly, "I knew this little bitch had no good intentions, I could see it from the beginning."
