On Christmas Day in the United States, the media in Asia, where the film was released simultaneously around the world, expressed their surprise for "Iron Man" with an almost praising delay.

On Hunan Satellite TV in the Mainland, Li Xiaole, who had been away from mainland audiences for a long time, appeared on the program again.

"This is "Entertainment Unlimited." I'm Su Gao. Just yesterday, the great director Li Xiaole's "Iron Man" premiered in theaters across the country, triggering a huge response. Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and many

The theaters were very popular and sold out."

The camera turned to the scene of the interview and saw a long and dense queue at the ticket office of Shanghai's Huanyi Cinema City. Looking at the LCD display on the wall of the ticket hall, apart from the sparse "City of Gold"

"A" and the morning movie "Three Gorges", the shows are almost all in the "Iron Man" time slot.

The camera turned back to Hunan Satellite TV, and Su Gao smiled happily: "For this movie, both critics and audiences have given it extremely high praise. Yes, our friend Director Li Xiaole is back again. In this New Year's Eve

His "Iron Man" is no less powerful than the sensational "Let the Bullets Fly"~"

At the same time, the media in Taiwan also exclaimed because of the release of "Iron Man" in theaters. In TVBS's "Entertainment News", the host Tao Jingying said with an exaggerated expression:

"Ouch~~ Li Kuanity, who took Taiwan's box office by storm before, is back this time. This time it's amazing. He's not coming from the mainland but from the United States. He's bringing a super blockbuster film shot by handsome guy Tom Cruise.

"Iron Man" has already caused movie fans to rush to buy tickets to watch the movie. It is said that in Taipei City, all prime time tickets have been sold out~~ Can you imagine? It is said that the box office of "Casino Royale" has been affected by this.

The influence~~poor James Bond~~gives birth to Bond~~why gives birth to Tony~~~"

Mainland stars and directors who watched the premiere of "Iron Man" even praised the movie on Sina Weibo.

Sha Yi, the actor who plays Bai Zhantang in "Wulin Gaiden", left a message and said humorously:

"The filming of "Iron Man" is really beautiful. I think it is one of the best American movies I have ever seen, second only to "Titanic"... I think the best TV series this year is undoubtedly "Martial Arts"

Side Story,” and “Iron Man” is the best movie of the year.”

Ning Hao, the director of Black Pearl, even left a slightly teasing message:

"Iron Man, Black Pearl, United Artists' first independently produced movie, the scene is so shocking, even I, a person who doesn't like superhero movies, got excited watching it. But today, Director Li shot all the movies in Los Angeles.

Damn it, next year Michael Bay's "Transformers" will not destroy half of the United States. How can I watch it? If I were Michael Bay after watching "Iron Man", I would definitely die at home..."

In terms of global fan ratings, it ranks first on the imdb-top250 list with a score of 9.6 (71.634 rating users)! The official website of bfca has a score of 94 (out of 100)! "Iron Man" earned almost perfect reviews in just one day

Word of mouth!

With such rave reviews, everyone is beginning to wonder about the box office of this movie? When the box office data for the opening day on December 24th was released on Christmas Day, along with the imdb score and Rotten Tomatoes freshness, everyone was shocked.

Jump!

North America's 240,000 U.S. dollars! With a large-scale screening of more than 4,000 screens, a single screen easily took over 5,000 U.S. dollars in box office! And the results in Asia are equally terrible. In Mainland China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong, the box office of "Iron Man" on the first day reached

310,000 yuan, and the number of moviegoers in South Korea exceeded 420,000! In Japan, 534 million~!

""Iron Man" is simply too crazy..." While the media and fans were amazed, the previous rumors that "Iron Man" could not pass the global box office of 300 million US dollars were shattered.

It is only a matter of time before it reaches a global box office of over US$300 million.

However, at the box office on the first day, although "Iron Man" performed extremely amazingly, it was not yet the champion. Sony's highly promoted masterpiece "Casino Royale" also showed extremely strong momentum, with overwhelming publicity and 6,239 screens.

With absolute support, this spy movie also won (650,000, narrowly beating "Iron Man" to win the championship.

But even if it's not the championship, this result is enough to make everyone at Black Pearl United Artists excited.

Just as Li Xiaole was looking at the online data and fan comments in front of the computer in the office, he heard the door being pushed open with a bang. He turned around and saw Tom Cruise and Wagner coming in with smiles and hands behind their backs.

"What's going on?" Li Xiaole asked strangely when he saw Tom Cruise and Wagner, who were holding back their laughter, suddenly take out a bottle of champagne from behind and spray the foam into his face.

"Merry Christmas~~Lee~~!" "Haha Lee~ let's celebrate~~" Tom Cruise and Wagner laughed while spraying champagne.

"What are you celebrating?" Li Xiaole wiped the champagne on his face and asked, dumbfounded.

"Don't you know yet!? Our global box office on the first day has exceeded 50 million US dollars~~Our company will not go bankrupt~~" Tom Cruise smiled excitedly.

"Lee, relax, it's Christmas~" Wagner also rarely smiled and played pranks with Tom Cruise.

"Wait a minute, we can celebrate Christmas today, but I don't think there's any rush to celebrate." Li Xiaole waved his hand helplessly.

Tom Cruise and Wagner both looked at each other disappointedly. Their partnership seemed a little too tight. The company's first independent production was about to exceed 300 million U.S. dollars at the box office. Why didn't he show up at all?

Are you happy? Isn't he still dissatisfied?

Only Li Xiaole knew in his heart that the potential of "Iron Man" is far more than that...

While Black Pearl United Artists was filled with joy and excitement, many people felt an unprecedented panic. Hahn Lesser, the new president of Sony's North America region, frowned while holding the report, listening to the company's market analyst James.

Moore made some assessments and predictions in person.

"I analyzed all the reports. Although our box office beat Black Pearl on the first day, according to this momentum, the North American box office of "Iron Man" is still likely to exceed 200 million, the overseas box office is 1.4 billion, and the global box office can be

Reaching 340 million...and our "Casino Royale" box office will be affected by it, and it is likely to remain in a stalemate..."

Hahn Lesser was stunned as he listened. An international giant like Sony, which devoted all its efforts to release "Casino Royale," could only compete with a small company like Black Pearl United Artists? What on earth is this?

What's going on?

You must know that this is the result of three-quarters of theaters in North America blocking "Iron Man"... If it were a full-scale open competition... Hahn Lesser's whole body got cold just thinking about it.

"What can we do? Is there still a way to suppress him?" Hahn Lesser asked himself tremblingly in his heart. For the first time, he felt that his predecessor's downfall was not an accident, but a truly powerful opponent...

Recalling that just over a year ago, United Artists was on the verge of bankruptcy, a company they wanted to abandon, but in the blink of an eye, this company suddenly grew into a behemoth standing in front of them... Li Xiaole... is really

It's so terrible...

Now Sony has no choice but to hope that Warner, Fox, and Disney can block Li Xiaole's progress... If the six major companies join forces, they will not be able to suppress Li Xiaole... I am afraid that the pattern of Hollywood will change from now on.

It will be completely changed by this Chinese...

And Hahn Lesser was not the most panicked person. It was Black Pearl United Artists' partners, the directors of the five theater companies of Century Cinemas United Artists, who really felt that the world was about to collapse.

"Li Xiaole, this bastard~! Li Xiaole, this bastard!!! How could the North American box office of "Iron Man" exceed 200 million!! Didn't you say it's impossible!? You said!? Is it possible for it to exceed the 230 million standard?

Line!?” Gary Love, the well-known board member of Players Cinemas, was furious in the conference hall of Century Cinema Alliance Chairman Vali Sandro. The table was buzzing and other board members also looked anxious.

.

Only Arthur, the board representative of Hoyt's era who was not involved in Li Xiaole's bet, sat in the corner and looked at them as if they were laughing...

These directors originally seemed to have obtained the promising Chinese film company from Black Pearl United Artists. No one thought that Li Xiaole could achieve such box office results under the attack of the six major companies. If the bet failed,

The price they have to pay is all the European theater chains. Although the little profit has little impact on the performance of the five companies, for these individual directors, it is a disaster...

Each of them cannot avoid the fate of being kicked out of the board of directors.

"Now let's discuss compensation. Gary, didn't you pay 900 yuan? You have the largest proportion. You famous players will bear more in proportion."

"Bill! Don't talk about others first, you also have 900 yuan, you also have to share this share equally!?"

"Fart, we don't have that many theaters in Europe, how can we support you!?" "You have to support the funds in proportion!?" "How can there be such a rule!?"

Valli Sandro looked at these directors and representatives who were like ants on a hot pot with an expressionless face, but he had no choice but to let this anxiety spread unhindered over the conference hall... because he himself

No one expected that Li Xiaole's "Iron Man" would be so powerful.
