In the blink of an eye it was the end of June.

In order to compete for this rare summer vacation, major movie companies in Hollywood have launched hand-to-hand combat. In order to attract their respective audiences, major cinemas can be said to be full of tricks, such as "buying tickets with prizes", "watching with prizes", as well as "celebrity interaction", "starring contact with the audience zero distance" and so on. Almost all the tricks that can attract the audience are used.

No way, there are so many bulls in Los Angeles cinemas, you can see the new movies you want to watch anytime, anywhere. Even an American president once said, "If I post my campaign poster in front of cinemas all over Los Angeles, then I believe my opponent will have to wait a hundred years to win!"

This shows how fierce the competition in the film industry. In order to control the theater line alone, she has tried her best to feed.

Compared with the average summer movie, several blockbusters released in Hollywood this year are quite evenly matched. These include the war movie "Saving Soldier Ryan", the science fiction movie "Peerless Terror", and the monster movie "Godzilla". In addition, there are some excellent American movies produced at low and medium cost, such as "Chumen World" and "Soul Catcher". These films are mainly comedies and surprises. Their main purpose is to attract young Americans. But Compared to these blockbusters, their situation can only say "survival in the gap".

At the entrance of a movie theater, Yi Feiyang carefully observed the flow of people in the cinema, analyzed the audience in the movie viewing, and their views on each play.

Looking at the posters that were posted around them, they were almost occupied by two American blockbusters. Many viewers also bought tickets for "Saving Soldier Ryan" and "Peerless Heist". Yi Feiyang vaguely heard them talking about the lead actors Tom Hanks and Bruce Willis of the two plays, comparing them repeatedly, from appearance to surname, to private life, and even the lace news published in the newspapers ... ... In the end, the box office of the show was a big win.

Others don't know, but Yi Feiyang knows it well.

The runner-up in the North American box office rankings in 1998 was "Saving Soldier Ryan", a film directed by Steven Spielberg and starring Hollywood star Tom Hanks, with nearly 480 million The US dollar box office ranked second, which is characterized by the amazing scenes of war violence and the connotation: "To save one person, sacrifice more people, is it worth it?"

The 1998 North American box office champion was "Peerless Heist", a disaster film directed by sci-fi director Michael Bay and starring Hollywood screen tough guy Bruce Willis, with a total box office of nearly 560 million. Top of the list. Its characteristic is the science fiction scene HTC, which is very powerful for rendering surnames in times of disaster.

It is also interesting that in the North American domestic box office, "Peerless Heist" has lost to "Saving Soldier Ryan", it seems that the director Steven Spielberg's local appeal is still super powerful.

As for the monster movie "Godzilla", although it still belongs to science fiction in subject matter, it surpasses most monster types in terms of connotation. Formed a new science fiction model.

It can be seen that compared with the decline of Hong Kong movies, Hollywood movies are not only full of flowers, but also constantly exploring and progressing.

As a Chinese, there is no one who does not like Hong Kong movies. Unfortunately, the development mechanism of Hong Kong movies is too backward. In the end, it cannot form an industrial model like Hollywood. The trend is serious, the star system is serious. The star pay is gone ...

Unlike Hollywood, there are various types of movies, complete technology, and more importantly, Hollywood implements a director system, and the director is the elder brother. Your star is a tool. If you want a high film pay, ok, you go to the 20 million club. Drill, the director will not be dumb enough to put all the production costs on you ...

Looking back, Yi Feiyang felt the fierce competition in the summer vacation in Hollywood in the United States. Not to mention anything else, as soon as two or three blockbusters came out, other low-cost productions would become cannon fodder.

In contrast, the forthcoming "Witch Blair" does not know if it can turn against the sky and create a new miracle like the previous life.

At this moment, someone who never believed was obliged to mutter, "God bless!"

...

"Old Corn" movie theater entrance.

Yi Feiyang didn't understand why the black dad named the movie theater "Old Corn."

Maybe I want my theater to be as full and nutritious as old corn.

Five home theaters, including "Old Corn", will soon release Yi Feiyang's elaborate thriller "Witch Blair".

As the second barrel of gold that robbed Hollywood, Yi Feiyang, the "movie second-hander", was full of hope for the show, hoping it had a high box office, and wishing it a good reputation, so he spared no expense to spend his final financial resources. The cinema was renovated, and in front of the theater, eye-catching banners to solicit customers were printed, and hundreds of movie posters were printed and posted everywhere.

But does this work? !!

Near the hour before the film's show.

Gao Jiabao, the fat man of Yi Feiyang's death party, is an important figure tonight ... conductor.

In the words of the fat man, the movie ticket money was held by others and he was not assured that it was better to manage it by himself.

Of course, before that, Yi Feiyang had given him an important lesson of "looking at the box office."

"I made a rough calculation. We now have 5 theaters in this theater. On average, a theater has a capacity of 100 customers. A customer needs to spend 2 dollars to buy tickets, as long as the income of a movie is multiplied. That's $ 1,000; according to five screenings a day, the total box office is $ 5,000 a day; and the total number of days we rent is 30 days a month, so at the end of the month, the total box office is $ 150,000! "

"Of course, $ 150,000 is not enough to repay the camel's loan, but you can rest assured that as soon as our film's word of mouth goes out, I'm afraid those movie companies will not come to the door to ask for the film source? Then we will sharpen the knife and come Slaughter one by one, pair by pair! Lots of banknotes are packed into your pockets, afraid you don't have any money to collect ?! "

Yi Feiyang's remarks stirred the fat man's blood and immediately roared, "Trust me once, I will collect the money!"

In order to show his ability to collect money, the fat man worked hard to collect change and distinguish fake banknotes. Its ability has been unanimously praised by Yi Feiyang and others.

Now it's time to test the fat man's ability. Yi Feiyang looked at his watch, his footsteps sounded, and he came as the fat man of the first conductor tonight!

Yes, he is here!

Yi Feiyang turned around and looked startled.

I saw a fat man with a feather in his head, a bone chain on his neck, bare breasts, breasts, and a fat belly, dressed as an Indian native, and sent a javelin in his hand to play a cross.

"What did you do, and how did you dress?"

"It's called packaging, you know? I asked the black dad. He said that this area is more Indian than black and white, so I made this dress as soon as I had a good idea ... Trust me, I This outfit will definitely create an unusual intimacy! "

Yi Feiyang was completely defeated by the whimsical idea of ​​the fat man!

"It's almost time, so please be prepared. Maybe there will be a lot of people. You need to be smart!" Yi Feiyang reminded.

"Relax, I'm the best at collecting money!" The fat man walked into the ticket office cheerfully, and then began to prepare.

Time passed by.

A large banner in front of the cinema wafts in the night breeze, which says: The new movie "Witch Blair" is released tonight!

On the nearby wall, a movie poster was also posted, which shamelessly deleted the original authors Dennis and Eduardo, and replaced it with the screenwriter Yi Feiyang, and the director was still Yi Feiyang.

In fact, from the purchase of all copyrights including the right to sign, all Feiyang did was to edit the movie that has not been edited, edit it later, and then shoot a few shots where the plot is not smooth. According to the content of the previous life, I have made some reasonable modifications. It can be said that the finishing touch is the finishing touch.

Faced with such banners and such posters, people have not been attracted. The entrance of the cinema, Monaco Luoque, makes this upcoming movie look abnormally "depressed."

Yes, depression, very depression!
