A week has passed in a blink of an eye, and now it has reached the year 2000. Many people in Hollywood, many people in North America, and even many movie fans around the world have involuntarily focused their attention on the box office battle between Yi Feiyang and the Wachowski brothers.
superior.
Unsurprisingly, in the third week of box office, "Song and Dance" continued to occupy the first place, taking the lead with more than 47.5 million box office, leading the last week of the Christmas season; the hard-working "The Matrix" continued to serve as the "second leader"
"Image, lead the subordinates to follow closely.
Up to now, "Dance Floor" has been released for almost 21 days, and the total box office in North America has reached an astonishing 160 million U.S. dollars. According to calculations, one month after its release, the box office will easily exceed 200 million U.S. dollars, and
At this time, because "The Matrix 2" was released relatively early, the total box office in North America has reached more than 300 million. In the next two months, the global box office will continue to increase. No one knows how much it will eventually reach.
Therefore, from a macro perspective, "The Matrix 2" has an advantage in accumulating global box office. In particular, Warner Films' distribution efforts in overseas markets are greater than that of the small company Fantasy Pictures. What's more, American Hollywood science fiction films have always been
They are all very popular overseas, and this "Hackers 2" is no exception.
Therefore, although many commentators were surprised by the huge box office performance of "Dance Floor", they still criticized the show in terms of total box office comparison. Yi Feiyang no longer cares about this, because to him, he is
The drama has already made a lot of money, but he no longer cares about whether he can defeat the two bear brothers. Reputation is nothing. He cannot make a living.
Yi Feiyang doesn't care, but fat Gao Jiabao, Rabbit Bill, apprentice James Wynn, and even the unsmiling Dures cannot care. For them, although honor cannot be a meal, it can shine all around. Including standing next to Yi Feiyang.
brother...
In fact, Yi Feiyang is concerned about another topic at this time, that is--"Dance Floor" may be nominated for an Oscar!
Yi Feiyang has never been a person who likes to daydream. He has ambitions, but his ambitions are very real. No matter how ambitious he is, there must be success factors for him. But for Oscar, he has never done much.
I thought about it, because he has been immersed in one thing, making movies, and the purpose of making movies is not to win awards, but to make money!
Now, the Oscar trophy is like a coquettish woman waving and ogling him, which makes him feel a little itchy. Damn it, Oscar is too tempting to fall in love with her. I'm simply sorry.
Own!
Therefore, Yi Feiyang secretly set a goal, not to defeat the Wachowski brothers at the box office, but to target the Oscars!
In fact, with the extremely popular viewing wave of "Dance Floor", Google, Angel.com, and the official website of Fantasy Pictures, the number of clicks of "Dance Floor" has been constantly refreshing, almost overwhelming the company.
The host was destroyed.
At the same time, major media in North America are also broadcasting news related to "Dance Floor".
"Strike for Oscars, compete on the dance floor!", "Battle on the dance floor, a must-see movie this Christmas", "Dance for dreams, compete for ideals", "Create box office myths, show off on the dance floor!" Such headlines are everywhere. Every time
A newspaper made the movie a front-page headline. "Dance Floor" was a huge success, and the media continued to praise it. The excellent quality of the film also attracted the attention of the American Oscar Organizing Committee. After several
After rounds of discussions, "Dance Floor" was officially announced as an Oscar nominee with four nominations!
Best photography!
Best soundtrack!
Best original music!
Best screenwriter!
Needless to say, the two most important ones are Best Screenplay and Best Original Music, and Yi Feiyang will be responsible for the final battles. However, this time there are so many masters in the Oscar nominations. If nothing else, "
"The Matrix 2" also received four nominations, namely Best Visual Effects, Best Cinematography, Best Editing, and Best Screenplay; as well as "The Green Mile", "American Beauty", and "Notting Hill" etc.
Both also received Oscar nominations.
It can be said that at the end of February 2000, there will be an extremely brutal Oscar battle, and its cruelty will definitely not be weaker than the Christmas box office battle.
…
2000, February 13.
In the CEO conference room of Fantasy Pictures, headed by President Yi Feiyang, Director of Publicity Department Dures, Director of Production Department Rabbit Bill, Fat Jack, James Wan and others were all sitting upright, waiting for the great financial manager Mr. Gao Jiabao
, announced the final box office revenue of Fantasy Pictures' two dramas "Saw 2" and "Dance Floor", summarized the company's profit status last year, and elaborated on future financial plan goals, etc.
The fat man stood up with the financial report in hand, coughed twice, glanced at everyone with what he felt was a "sharp" gaze, and then began to make a report.
"Dear friends, hello everyone! Thanks to Mr. Yi Feiyang, the president, I, Gao Jiabao, will make a profit report on behalf of the Finance Department. Please listen carefully. If you have any questions, please ask after I finish... In the spirit of devotion to duty
In accordance with the principle, I will respond to your questions meticulously and fully and responsibly... Well, okay, now the report officially begins---"
The fat man deliberately showed off his words in an official manner, and then slowly got to the point.
According to everyone's understanding of his nagging, they could not help but want to criticize him for a long time. However, when they thought of the importance of this report, everyone closed their mouths, turned a deaf ear to his nonsense, filtered it out, and waited for the main topic to begin.
.
"First of all, let me talk about the horror film "Saw 2" directed by our new director Mr. James Wan. Thanks to the script written by Mr. Yi Feiyang, this film is full of sadistic violence and alternativeness like the previous one.
Based on the originality of the script, "Saw 2" was released on Halloween at the right time. It greatly satisfied the fans of this type of horror film with its bloody and bloody scene. Its opening weekend revenue was 73% higher than that of the previous episode.
percentage points, grossing US$31.7 million in 2,549 theaters, not only breaking the record of the first film, but also changing the history of horror movie sequel box office plummets since "The Ring 2" and "Blair Witch 2".
"
The fat man glanced at everyone with extremely proud eyes, giving the impression that this drama was not filmed by James but was attributed to his fat man.
"Okay, let's start with the summary. However, since the production cycle of this movie is less than a month and the cost is only 4 million US dollars, it is inevitable that there are some parts that are shoddy. So there are audience reactions. For example, after watching the whole movie, in addition to
Blood, I don’t remember what else I’ve seen. Moreover, as soon as the director got to the bloodletting sequence, he used a lot of fast editing to create a visual impact, which was used to cover up the shortcomings in creative techniques. Therefore, we must learn from this and further improve it! We must
Bring out the service spirit of our Fantasy Pictures and serve the people wholeheartedly. We will shoot whatever they like to see..."
"In short, "Saw 2" gave movie fans a perfect Halloween weekend. It also brought us a total box office revenue of 187 million US dollars, excluding actor expenses, filming expenses, theater shares, and those damn taxes
Wait, we made a profit of 55 million U.S. dollars from this drama. If we add in domestic and overseas CD sales, copyright transfer, etc., our profit reached 78 million U.S. dollars!"
78 million US dollars!
Everyone secretly swallowed their saliva, my mother, this drama is so great, it looks like the dividends will be increased again, haha, thank God for giving us such a good big boss.
Everyone couldn't help but look at Yi Feiyang, who was sitting still, seemingly stroking his chin and thinking about something.
When the fat man saw the big guy, he had a strong reaction. They all smiled brightly and looked at him with their eyes shining... In fact, when the big guy looked at Fatty Gao, it was like looking at a golden pig. It was so dazzling!
The fat man raised his chin proudly and continued: "Okay, everyone, please be quiet and stop talking. The next thing I will report is about the box office revenue of our boss, Mr. Yi Feiyang, from the filming of "Battle on the Dance Floor"
Condition……"
The fat man's voice immediately silenced everyone. The guys who just couldn't help but laugh and talk became good children.
The fat man clicked his lips and began to report: "In recent years, musicals have been eclipsed in the American film industry. Because this type of film is far away from the times, has a fixed format and a slow pace, it has been ignored by many viewers, even those young viewers.
I don’t like movies like this anymore. But in the Christmas season of 1999, a musical film swept away so many years of terror..."
"You must know that most musicals are nothing more than men and women singing and dancing, and then falling in love with each other. Basically, handsome men and beautiful women are the selling point. The content is light and cheerful, and the ending is bright. Most of the films will arrange a scene at the end where the hero and heroine confess their true feelings.
dance sequence. Generally speaking, this kind of film should be considered a success if it can exceed 50 million US dollars at the box office, but our company's "The Dance" surprised the connoisseurs. This miraculous musical film has become a hit in North America.
It actually earned US$320 million at the box office! Yes, you heard that right! That’s US$320 million!”
Ula! Everyone screamed wildly.
Excited, excited!
Everyone is overjoyed!
Fatty quickly said: "Please stabilize your emotions, stabilize now, because I haven't finished speaking yet... The North American box office is 320 million, and the overseas box office, it is... 400 million!" Fatty broke out another one.
Amazing numbers!
This time everyone is crazy!
Yes, they all went crazy!
400 million!
What kind of terrifying number is this?!
Ula!
This time everyone yelled and clapped wildly!
The entire conference room is like a mental hospital, and they are all filled with seriously ill patients! (To be continued.
