Chapter 469 [The heat is up, the movie is released]
Liang Kun checked the movies that will be released in the near future, and the competition was the smallest in early January.
The Christmas film "New Money-Barriage Couple", "Munich", "Romance" and other films were released for two weeks, and the box office began to decline. There were almost no good films released at the same time as "Happy Death Day", and you can count them with one hand.
"The Hot-Blooded Teacher", starring "Chandlerbin", without Joey, Monica and others' support, he would not be able to become a person alone. Moreover, although this movie has stars in charge, it is a TV movie, which will not affect "Happy Death Day".
"The Last Holiday", the cast includes a steel egg from Montaki, but the protagonist is a black actress with arms thicker than many people's legs. "Political correctness" can give the movie a good reputation, but it cannot make the audience willingly pay to the theater.
"Surrender", an adventure tour group went to a black cave to explore and encountered a man-eating beetle murder. Looking at the introduction, it is difficult for you to guess how they or bugs surrendered. Liang Kun felt that shooting two little pandas PKs was more like "surrender".
There are also some movies that Liang Kun has no impression of and starred in a movie that is not famous at all. "There is a little bit of a joke", "The Champion Girl", "The Fast Thug" and so on...
In the parallel world, the highest-grossing movie this month is Ang Lee's "Brokeback Mountain", which is as high as 178 million US dollars. However, "Brokeback Mountain" and "Happy Death Day" are completely different types of movies with different audiences, and the release of the same period is also beneficial to each other.
Because Ang Lee is also a director of China, he was born on October 23, 1954 in Chaozhou Town, Pingtung County, Wanwan Province. His ancestral home is De'an County, Jiujiang City, Jiangxi Province.
If two Chinese films directed by Chinese at the same time achieved high box office, it would be a news worth reporting to the media. There are many people discussing online, which has made the popularity popular, and many people who watch "Brokeback Mountain" will also take the time to watch "Happy Death Day".
"Brokeback Mountain" is the highest-grossing movie directed by Ang Lee. In fact, it is not that the movie is so exciting, but that it happened to be released in a suitable period and is full of gimmicks.
In recent years, there have been many gay marches in the United States, and making this movie is also "political correct". Ang Lee has attracted many viewers to watch movies in the theaters. "Brokeback Mountain" has also won many awards and nominations. The judges dare not publicly say that the movie is not good, and they may be accused of discriminating against comrades.
Later, "Moonlight Boy" in 2016 was stronger than "Brokeback Mountain", because it was a black gay movie, and if there were some elements of "protecting animals" and "female punch" in it, it would be invincible in the world.
This movie was so boring that few people watched it, but it won the Best Picture of the Oscar. It was still a counterattack on "La La Land" when the awards guests read the wrong result.
Another good movie is "Legend of the Night 2", which will be released on January 23. By then, the two weeks with the strongest box office of "Happy Death" have passed, and the impact is not great. If "Happy Death" has a high reputation, it will have some impact on "Legend of the Night 2", because the reputation of the movies in the Night series has always been not very good.
The only possibility that Liang Kun could think of was racial discrimination. This kind of thing is unlikely to happen. After all, all Chinese actors in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" have become popular. "Hero" has a high box office in the United States, and good movies will be recognized.
Liang Kun celebrated the New Year in Los Angeles and cooked Chinese food, which suited the tastes of four people, was particularly rich, combining Chinese and Western.
Red wine river eel, spring cake snails, Guzi Ziyang chicken, steamed pork ribs from Hakka Xiangcai, boiled fish in green and water, and duck with camphor tea. The main food is fried rice. Liang Kun also made Lafite BBQ sauce roasted Australian steak for Teresa, which was done with Constantine.
Teresa was moved to tears. She made good friends in a foreign country and could also eat delicious food. After crying, she had a very good appetite. She wanted to move even when she was over. She had to go to the bathroom and was very unlucky.
Liang Kun was very curious about how Teresa controlled her weight after becoming a star in the parallel world. She was the kind of person who had already eaten something that was about to explode and wanted to stuff it into her mouth because the food was too delicious. Overeating is not a good thing, although Liang Kun also often did this, and being young is willful.
Li Renjie was also moved and felt that there would be no better star than Liang Kun. When his assistant followed him abroad, it was a kind of enjoyment, and life was like a vacation.
Constantine felt that Liang Kun would have problems with Teresa sooner or later. Which woman could resist such a man? He is handsome, strong, talented, rich, and has the cooking skills of a senior chef.
If he was a woman, he would definitely want to live like this with Liang Kun for the rest of his life.
In the Internet age, it is very convenient for people to contact their family when they go abroad. There is no need to make a phone call, just have the Internet.
Everything went smoothly in China, and "You From the Stars" was finished. "Struggle" was first broadcasted at the beginning of the year, and then the drama was taken over.
Before she knew it, Tang Qi also graduated from the Central Academy of Drama. She took on several new advertisements and participated in variety shows. Sun Rui was also very popular, with a lot of work, and he also wanted to try making movies.
Except for Wang Baochang, Yingyi Entertainment has done well, with constant film appointments and is very busy. Not too surprised, Wang Baochang should also play his important role in "Xu Sanduo" in 2006.
Liang Kun made a long-distance call to Ayumi Hamasaki and Son Yezhen.
Ayumi Hamasaki is preparing for a New Year's Eve concert, which is an event she has every year. Now her voice and ears are fine, and her career continues to be at its peak, and her concerts are full. In terms of career, her popularity has completely overshadowed the name-changing album and selling a short sales.
Ayumi Hamasaki's happy life is not just a prosperous singing career. She has shares in Aihui Company. As the Japanese stock market surged in 2004, her net worth soared.
Liang Kun also made a big profit in the US stock market. In November, Google's stock price had already exceeded 400. He did not intend to transfer funds back to the Xiangjiang stock market. It is much easier to buy stocks from famous companies in the United States than to make money in China.
This is not yet the golden period for speculation in US stocks. After the subprime mortgage crisis, US stocks rose for ten consecutive years, and the Dow Jones Index went to 30,000 points. Liang Kun planned to wait for the subprime mortgage crisis to change stocks, and then part of the money would be invested in the stock market and stayed silent, and he would hold on for a long-term ten years.
In 2019, he only had to sell stocks, and his net worth would have to be worth billions.
Sun Ye-jin chatted with Liang Kun on the phone for a while, then changed to surfing the Internet and sent a few photos to his email. She had already raised a white Pomeranian with pet pills, which looked like a small pomrose.
Even the smallest animal can become humane after taking pills. Son Ye-jin now trains dogs at home when she doesn’t do activities, so she should live more and more.
Liang Kun suspected that pet pills also have the effect of developing animal intelligence. Otherwise, there would be no explanation why cats and dogs under one year old will look smarter than babies under one year old after taking the pills.
Large animals can be raised in the United States. Liang Kun plans to try using medium-sized pet pills here in the future. The animal he wants to raise the most is a tiger, which looks cool. Using pet pills should prevent the tiger from hurting people.
But he can only think about it and will not take action, because raising a tiger will damage his image. No matter where he chooses to live in the future, his neighbors will definitely be disgusted with raising a tiger.
In some areas of the United States, it is legal to keep tigers. According to statistics, the number of tigers in captivity in the United States reaches 5,000, which is more than the number of wild tigers in the world. However, "pet controversy" has always existed. Tyson's reputation was very bad when raising tigers. Because the tiger hurts people, he also compensates 250,000 yuan to the injured. Later, he said in an interview that he was stupid and changed to raising dogs.
A beast like a tiger can never be trained like a domestic cat.
The limitation of medium-sized pills is that the pet weighs less than 70 kilograms. Liang Kun wants to raise a popular and beautiful animal to play with.
On the first day of 2006, the four of them did not go out and played mahjong at home for the holiday after dinner.
Teresa learned to play mahjong and liked this entertainment program very much. Although she rarely wins, it doesn’t matter if they don’t gamble, but it’s important to participate.
"Happy Death Day" has been full of good news. Although it is a small-budget movie, it has a lot of advertising and has been discussed online. The movie was produced by DreamWorks and released by Paramount, and was released in 1945 theaters.
In terms of promotion, the movie is much more powerful than the original movie. Although this movie is written, directed and acted by Liang Kun, as long as the movie is good, the big guys who make money are the ones who operate capital, so they promote it very actively. After the film comes out, everyone who has watched it thinks the movie is very interesting and has the potential to become a big dark horse in the month.
Large companies work hard on publicity, and as long as the quality of the video is not too bad, the box office will not be very bad.
"The Ghost Record" belongs to this kind of movie. Is this fake documentary really scary? To be terrifying, it is actually not as good as the Spanish movie "Death Video" in 2007. If the director didn't sell his work to a big company and let him promote it himself, let alone speculate that he can't get nearly 200 million box office, it will not be released at all.
After Liang Kun communicated with his subconscious mind, he knew that the movie Parallel World was not very popular at the beginning. He was more confident in the box office because of his reputation.
On January 6, "Happy Death Day" was released in North America.
There was no premiere, and several young starring actors of the movie made an appointment to go to the movie together. The heroine Blake Lively, the villain Minnie Anden, and the four from Liang Kun's family went to a theater in Los Angeles.
After seeing Liang Kun, Black hugged him and sighed: "Liang, I'm so nervous. How much box office do you think this movie can achieve? Have you talked to the producer?"
"My goal is to have a global box office of 100 million. You don't have to be nervous, you will become famous soon." Liang Kun said with a smile.
Everyone didn't know how his confidence came about, but I hope what he said would come true. Liang Kun bought tickets and popcorn drinks. Everyone was surprised as soon as they entered the theater. The attendance rate was unexpectedly good, more than half.
This attendance rate is similar to Spielberg's "Munich" when it was released. From this point of view, everyone has a premonition that the box office of the movie will really be booming...
