Chapter 237 'Home Alone' is released

"Home Imperial" was originally a film from 1990. It also started to be played on Christmas that year. The first film had a total global box office of US$530 million, and the box office in the United States alone was close to US$300 million. It entered the top ten box offices in the United States that year, and it is also the highest-grossing comedy film in the future.

The most popular comedy film with the highest box office in history is that it is very low cost, which is almost over five million US dollars. Both actors and directors are in the unknown type. Among them, director Chris Columbus will also direct "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" and "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" in the future. He is a world-renowned director. Of course, that is the future. Chris Columbus has just graduated. I am afraid that without "Home Imperials" that makes him famous, his future is worrying.

As for the starring Macaulay Culkin in "Home Imperials", he is only two years old. He may not enter the acting career because of the early emergence of "Home Imperials".

Compared with Chris Columbus, James Cameron is not weaker than Chris Columbus who filmed "Home Imperials" back then. However, both have their own advantages and disadvantages, and James Cameron is also not as experienced as later generations.

However, "Home Imperial" is a film that James Cameron wants to get approval, which has led to James Cameron being very careful during filming. Of course, the cost is that the cost is getting higher and higher. Fortunately, due to inflation, the cost does not exceed five million no matter how much it increases.

"Home Imperial" directed by James Cameron is slightly different from the original, but it is generally similar to the original. Perhaps due to the higher cost, the quality of this "Home Imperial" is even more exciting than in history, mainly in terms of details and acting skills.

Of course, the biggest difficulty in this film is to find a weird boy. When looking for boys who meet the conditions, James Cameron has suffered a lot. He often finds a few weird boys, but their parents often don’t agree.

After the filming of the film was completed, Zhao Chen handed it over to the Warner Group in the United States.

If it is common sense, since "Home Imperial" is a low-cost movie, it wants to be released during the Christmas period, Warner Group naturally refused to agree, even if many senior executives agree to this movie.

However, Zhao Chen is different. In addition to his piano album, the theatrical version of "Dragon Ball" released in the United States some time ago also received a considerable box office. It can be said that the two sides have established increasingly profound connections.

Finally, Zhao Chen is now at the center of public opinion and his fame has increased greatly. Warner Group can fully promote "Home Imperial" under the name of Zhao Chen. After all, this film is written by Zhao Chen, and I believe it can increase the box office.

But even so, the screening merchants can only free up five hundred screens and will be released a few days before Christmas.

Since it is not a temporary canvas, and Zhao Chen is also a world-class celebrity after all, and has worked with screenwriters, these screenwriters have relatively low prices, and will only charge 35% of the box office at that time. In addition, Warner Group will also charge 20% of the distribution fee, and the advertising fee will also be paid by Warner Group.

For Warner Group executives and screenwriters, they did not look at the quality of "Home Imperial". They just gave Zhao Chen face, and the price was not high. Otherwise, if other foreigners asked for it to be released on Christmas, even if they could be released, they would probably have to add a lot of the price they paid.

Due to Zhao Chen's relationship, Warner Group did not neglect, but sent a professional team to contact advertisers to promote "Home Imperial".

A few days before Christmas, "Home Imperial" was released. Due to Zhao Chen's influence, the film achieved a good box office before Christmas Eve. While this box office shocked the screening merchants. It also saw the potential of this film, resolutely cut the screens of other films and instead increased "Home Imperial", which had more than 800 yuan on Christmas Eve.

When Christmas Eve started, the box office soared. Almost every show was full. Although the popularity of "Home Imperial" was expected by the screeners, they did not expect it to be so popular, so they hurriedly added screens again.

The senior executives of Warner Group also saw that they underestimated the film "Home Imperial", which was obviously the top ten films in the United States in the year, and instead increased their advertising investment. At the same time, they felt sad and happy. If they had known this, Zhao Chen would have to pay the advertising fee.

So under the influence of Zhao Chen and the temptation of US dollars, the screen of "Home Imperial" was more than 1,200 yuan, and there were many advertisements on the streets and alleys that were promoting "Home Imperial".

The plot of "The Little Imperial" is relatively simple. The protagonist is Kevin, the youngest member of the big family. When his family flew to Paris to celebrate Christmas, he was accidentally left out and left alone at home. What's more complicated is that the Kevin family unfortunately became the target of a pair of stupid thieves. In order to counter the successful stealing of these two bandits, Kevin tried his best to turn the world upside down. The two stupid thieves were also played around by the little ghost, which triggered a series of exciting and funny scenes. Of course, after suffering one or two losses, no matter how stupid he is, he knows how to jump over the wall. The two thieves also began to deploy their tricks. In the end, Kevin relied on the ghost's idea to defeat the two thieves.

Among them, the biggest highlight of this film is the process of the protagonist Kevin fighting two stupid thieves. There are so many jokes that make people impressed, they can't help laughing and having a happy mood, which increases the Christmas atmosphere to a higher level.

It is because of this that more and more families in the United States have begun to enter the theater collectively, and they just call it and watch "Home Imperial"!

When the North American box office statistics were recorded in the first week, it was shocking. The comedy "Home Imperial" box office reached 40 million US dollars in just one week, especially on Christmas Eve and Christmas, the box office revenue was high, and the high box office made this film far surpass the second place "Mr. Duss" behind it!

This is mainly because at Christmas, the screen of "Home Imperial" increased by another 300 yuan, reaching a total of 1,500 screens. The number of screens this year can be said to be inferior to "ET Alien".

Although "Home Imperial" is released eight years ahead of schedule, the box office is likely to be less than that in history, due to the better quality of the film and Zhao Chen's influence, even if it is not as good as in history, it is probably not much different.

After Christmas, the craze for "Home Imperial" did not fade, but was still strong. The main reason was that children from families often watched it once and wanted to continue watching it for a second time. So even if parents were helpless, they could only watch it with them, and the box office revenue naturally rose.

So in less than three weeks, "Home Imperial" successfully exceeded 100 million yuan, becoming the sixth American movie with a box office of over 100 million yuan this year. Not only that, its box office is still firm and continues to grow at a slow rate.

In this way, although Zhao Chen's fame has not increased much, the box office revenue is undoubtedly quite huge, which can also help him to enter the comic market in other countries.

Of course, for James Cameron, "Home Imperial" naturally became his famous work. The super high box office brought him great praise, making him feel elated, but he did not forget his previous miserable life and continued to direct his next work - "Terminator"!

But whether it is Zhao Chen or James Cameron, they are both behind the scenes, and even if they become famous, they are far inferior to Kevin, the starring actor of "Home Imperial". Therefore, the hot sale of "Home Imperial" prompted some producers to start producing similar films, which led to the child starring Kevin becoming a popular among producers.
