Sky Studio, David Ellison's office, was dead silent.
If David Ellison had a hint of luck at the beginning, he should have understood when he saw the box office of "Creation of War" freshly released.
This time he lost, and it was a disastrous defeat without any suspense.
"I tried to communicate as much as possible in theaters, but the situation was not very optimistic. The film schedule began to be lowered from this week."
Martin Bob's face was not good-looking, he thought Failure, but unexpectedly it was such a huge failure. It would be fine if "Creation of War" could not beat "Inception", but it did not even reach the expected box office of $70 million in the first week.
David Ellison remained silent, Michael Orwitz persuaded: "David, cheer up, no one in the film market can succeed forever.
Although this time it failed, ours The loss is not big, it is not considered a traumatic injury."
Mel Gibson, who was standing beside him, also sighed, and he did not expect such a tragic failure. I don’t know if David Ellison will support himself in making a movie after this crushing defeat. "Where is Jibert?" David Ellison asked.
"What?"
"Why can Gilbert Jr. stay successful? Why doesn't he have any moments of failure?"
Faced with David Ellison's questions, Michael Orwitz said he was helpless. How did he know? Perhaps as the outside world said, Jibert Jr. is a once-in-a-century movie genius.
He is Goat in the film industry, the emperor who ruled Hollywood, and the son of God whom he favored. His success is a matter of course.
You have to ask Michael Orwitt Jr. why Jibert Jr. will always be successful, Michael Orwitt has only one answer: because his name is Jibert Jr.
Such a painful failure made Sky Studio's subsequent plans fail, and there was no need to save the box office.
But David Ellison has a good thing, that is, his heart is big.
He quickly recovered from the heavy blow and announced the next phase of Sky Studio's work with confidence, the release of "Super Battleship" and "Alien Battlefield".
Since you can't play with Jibert, it's better to restore the essence of a commercial film and rely on big scene action scenes to attract audiences.
Anyway, these are always popular in the summer season, and David Ellison believes that these two films will succeed.
In addition, there is the third part of the studio ace "Transformers" and Mel Gibson's new film, which is a war film.
Gilbert Jr. did not expect that after the heavy blow of the failure of "Creation of War", David Ellison could quickly cheer up and continue to make big moves.
This made Jibert look at David Ellison with admiration. It was indeed not easy to make a name for himself.
Although he looked at him with admiration, Jibert Jr. is not ruthless. Most of the vacant periods of "Creation of War" were eaten by "Inception".
Gibert Jr. also took the creators to embark on a publicity journey across the United States and around the world.
The film star Li Zi also tried her best to cooperate with the film to promote it. During the release of the movie, he was photographed dating a Victoria's Secret supermodel, and the next day he was photographed dating another Victoria's Secret supermodel.
These gossip news are enough to attract attention and then turn your attention to the movie.
In addition, starting from the next week, Inception joined forces with 72 universities across the United States to start university movie watching activities. The theme is dream philosophy, which drives public opinion to discuss movies.
It was also because of the discussion of the plot of "Inception", the box office of "Inception" exceeded 100 million in the first week, but not many people paid attention to it.
Everyone was discussing heatedly: Did Cobb wake up? How many levels of dreams are there? Mission failed or successful? Or it's just a dream... With the participation of enthusiastic audiences, this kind of content has set off a huge wave of discussion on the Internet.
Jibert Jr. admitted to the main creators that the success of "Inception" is inseparable from the rapid development of the Internet today. It is also because the Internet discussions are so popular that "Inception" has maintained a very high popularity.
After the workday, the film continued to maintain its strong performance, earning $46.33 million in four working days, pushing North American tickets to $167.18 million.
Starting this week, "Inception" has begun to be released in 70 countries and regions around the world.
In fact, at the beginning, Disney's release plan was released simultaneously in major global markets, but it was rejected by Gilbert Jr. Nowadays, the Internet has developed rapidly, and the major regions of the world have long been connected together.
The content discussed on the North American Internet can also be spread to Europe, Japan, South Korea, Australia, and South America through the Internet.
When Inception was making huge popularity in the North American Internet, netizens from other parts of the world naturally also paid attention to this wave of discussion.
Through Watermelon Video, Banana Social Platform, Forum Post Bar and other places, the reputation of "Inception" has long spread overseas.
In the island country of Tokyo, the film caused a wave of viewing as soon as it was released.
Little Lizi is very popular in the island country. Because of "Titanic", many island girls still remember his style.
So every movie of Little Lizi can achieve good results when it is released in the island country.
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!
In addition to Jibert Jr.'s strong appeal in the island market and the hard promotion of several Japanese women every time the movie is released, "Inception" performed quite well.
The film achieved a box office of US$20.63 million in the island country in the first week, making it the single market with the highest box office weekly box office except North America.
Another important market is not South Korea, but the mainland Chinese market.
As the box office of "Transformers 2" and "Avatar" exceeded RMB 1 billion in mainland China last year, the Chinese mainland market is increasingly valued by Hollywood.
More importantly, the Chinese film market has achieved rapid explosion, and the market size exceeded 10 billion RMB for the first time last year. With the signing of a new memorandum, the share of Hollywood movies has also reached 25%.
In other words, for every 10 million US dollars in box office, Hollywood producers can get $2.5 million.
If you can get a box office of $100 million, it will be a box office of $25 million. This data is amazing enough and it will be enough for Hollywood companies to pay attention to it.
Luckily, as early as when Hollywood companies noticed the mainland Chinese market one after another, Gibert Jr. and Disney had already completed the layout of the mainland Chinese market.
When Inception landed in the mainland Chinese market, various advertisements were widely used to attract the attention of Chinese movie fans.
For Chinese movie fans, the name Gilbert Jr. is extremely attractive, and movies he directs themselves usually achieve good results here.
In addition, Chinese actors also participated in the film "Inception", in which Tony Leung played an important role and his role was not low.
It's not the kind of person who announced his participation, but it's actually just a so-called soy sauce, and can only be seen in the special edition of the mainland. It's a real starring role.
In addition, Xiao Shenyang was involved on the train at the beginning of the video. The comedy star became famous last year on the Spring Festival Gala, and then inexplicably received an invitation to star in "Inception".
But he doesn't have many scenes, even less than a minute, but he is much better than the stars who cheated on the show.
But the one with the most role is Tony Leung. If he gives a star, he will be very developed. But Tony Tony is an actor and doesn't like hype.
Although he participated in Hollywood movies, he still kept a low profile. (This chapter ends)
