Chapter 1805 Record-Breaking Box Office!
No one would have imagined that Li Mu, who was sought after by netizens all over the world just because he wrote three top-notch songs, actually started a relationship with the Japanese chaebol on Weibo and Twitter.
However, after learning about the actual situation, they immediately began to support Li Mu and denounced the Japanese chaebols who tried to drive "Flying Tigers" out of Japanese theaters.
Those Japanese chaebols who have a huge influence in Japan, and even stomping their feet can cause a major earthquake, suddenly became the target of crusades by netizens around the world, and they were immediately miserable!
Moreover, the most uncomfortable thing for them was that they couldn't fight against Li Mu at all.
Sitting in Yanjing, Li Muren moved his finger, which was equivalent to launching a missile, directly blowing himself up;
And what about yourself? If he wanted to attack Li Mu, he didn't have any missiles available. Although he had money, money could not be turned into missiles directly. He could only be anxious in Japan.
Those theater owners suddenly woke up, knowing that they must not cooperate with these chaebols, because once they get too close to the chaebols, they may become the target of public criticism in the future.
The Japanese chaebol originally wanted to control the number of screenings of "Flying Tigers" in Japan, so as to control the influence of "Flying Tigers" in Japan, but it failed before it succeeded, and it also caused a show.
Several big bosses of different chaebols, such as the eldest son of this family, Masahiro of that family, and Taro of his family, met urgently in Tokyo that night. Everyone sat together, carefully analyzed the current situation, and finally made a decision. : Admit it.
If you don't admit it, you can't do anything, you can't beat it, you can't scold it, and there's not a lot of black history behind someone's ass, and you can't cover it up normally. What a joke.
People all over the world have basically the same attitude towards World War II. The righteous side is willing to forgive and forgive the sinful side, but the premise is that the sinful side fully recognizes his sins, completely corrects his sins and repents for his sins. .
Germany, for example, fought even more fiercely than the Japanese in World War II, and fought on the east and west fronts, as well as in Africa. However, because of their good attitude of confession, they won the understanding of the vast majority of the invaded countries and their citizens.
However, if you don’t admit your sins, correct your sins, repent for your sins, or even cover up your sins shamelessly, then you really hate dogs!
Li Mu just scolded him once without naming names, and netizens began to follow him to rhythm. If Li Mu really hung up everyone's dark history, who would have a good life?
So admitting counsel is the best way to stop losses quickly.
Therefore, everyone immediately reached a consensus that from now on, there will be no interference in "Flying Tigers". Not named.
However, these people were depressed, but Li Mu was not ready to forgive them.
I did say that if you pretend to be coercive, I will call you, but if you don't say that you don't pretend to be coercive, I won't name you.
So he asked Zhao Kang, who was in charge of the navy, to arrange for his subordinates to bring rhythm to the online world around the world.
For a time, I don't know who broke the news on the Internet, and the black material about the history of Japan's top chaebols suddenly became dizzying.
Whose family made their fortune by what, whose father was a soldier, whose grandfather fought a war, and whose older generation invaded China, North Korea, and Southeast Asia.
Even the older generation who bombed Pearl Harbor cleaned it up.
The most outrageous thing is that there is actually an ancestor of the chaebol, who was confirmed to have eaten an American pilot in the island battle with the American army.
As soon as the incident broke out, American netizens were blown away.
Descendants of cannibal demons, what the hell?
There is historical evidence for the cannibalism of the Japanese army in Southeast Asia and the major islands of the Pacific Ocean during World War II.
In 1944, during a U.S. Air Force mission to bomb Japan, nine U.S. pilots were parachuted out of plane injuries. Of the nine, eight were captured, and all of the eight captured died. Four of them were eaten by the Japanese army. .
The only one who escaped was the 41st President of the United States, George W. Bush.
As soon as this history was exposed, the glass hearts of Americans could not stand it.
Good guy, the co-author of our president almost let your chaebol ancestors eat it raw. If you don't come out and jump around, everyone will be too lazy to pay attention to you. As a result, when they make a movie, you still want to come out and suppress you. Do you know what a face is?
Suddenly, the international reputation of many Japanese chaebols dropped to freezing point.
It was revealed that the head of the Japanese chaebol, whose ancestors had eaten American pilots, slapped himself more than a dozen times in the office.
I'm really poisonous, what are you doing looking for this awkward person when you have nothing to do? When the filming of "The Last Samurai" made people do this once, why is it that they don't have a long memory?
Interestingly, the more people criticize these Japanese chaebols, the higher the box office of "Flying Tigers".
It was so high that the theater line went crazy at the end. The attendance rate of this movie was unprecedented, so everyone tried desperately to compress the schedule of other films, and gave as much as possible to "Flying Tigers".
The Flying Tigers grossed $600 million at the box office five days before its release.
Flying Tigers was released on the sixth day, and the second-tier countries and regions were released, with a single-day box office of more than 200 million US dollars.
Hollywood is crazy too.
Earlier, everyone thought that war movies really had no money, high cost, low box office, and no sequels were released.
Look at the current movies, which one doesn't make a lot of money by making sequels?
I don't know how many copies of "007" were filmed;
"The Fast and the Furious" is now filming its third film;
"Mission Impossible" was originally going to make the third part, but Tom Cruise washed the ground for the extreme Bushido spirit because of the filming of "The Last Samurai", and at the same time told the media that he liked Japanese culture every day, and now I was made cold by Li Mu;
The third installment of the low-budget comedy "American Pie" was also a hit last year.
Even the animated movie "Toy Story" is in the works for a third installment.
Movies like this are really money making machines.
By comparison, what is a war movie?
You invested so much money today to make "Schindler's List", and the box office was indeed quite high, and then what? You can't make a Schindler's List 2, can you?
"Black Hawk Down" can't make a sequel!
After all, most war movies have to respect history, can't they be made out of nothing? You can't shoot a protagonist who goes through Pearl Harbor first, then goes to Midway, turns around and goes to the Normandy landings again, right?
Therefore, more and more people find that war movies are thankless jobs, so more and more no one wants to make them.
However, this "Flying Tigers" really exploded at the box office. It was released in six days and earned $800 million at the box office.
Authoritative sources predict that the final global box office of this film must be more than 2 billion US dollars, and 3 billion is not impossible.
Anyway, it exceeds the 2.1 billion of "Titanic", which is basically stable.
At the same time, the world wants a high-definition source of a song.
That song is "rolling in the deep".
This song, there is currently no sound source released, the only channel is the cinema.
Many people liked the song so much that they ran into the movie theater to watch the movie twice or three times, and even brought recording equipment to try to record the song.
However, after all, the cinema is a relatively noisy environment, and in such a sound field with relatively large echoes, the effect of direct radio recording with equipment is relatively general, but even this kind of sound source is downloaded by countless people crazy on the Internet.
According to statistics, the number of downloads of various pirated audio sources has quickly exceeded 10 million times, and it is still growing rapidly.
Countless people are on Weibo and Twitter x-on:李MU, begging Li Mu to release the sound source of this song, even if it is a single and an album, they are willing to buy it immediately.
Even some music radio stations and music TV stations are willing to spend millions of dollars in copyright to buy the priority playing rights of this song.
But Li Mu announced on Weibo twitter: "'rolling in the deep' is not considered a single album for the time being, because the movie is still in the stage of release, so it can't release its official sound source for the time being, let alone sell the copyright, but Please rest assured that when the film is over in most parts of the world, we will release the sound source on yytunes for free download for users around the world."
Li Mu disdains to use music to make money, but he needs music to add luster to the movie.
With the rise of movie box office, Du Wei's influence is also getting higher and higher. With only three English songs, she has now become the most popular female singer in Europe and America, no one.
All over the world, invitations to perform have been sent, but Du Wei refused all of them;
Because of her outstanding performance in the movie, many big directors have sent her film appointments, hoping that she will appear in their own movies, but Du Wei still refused all of them.
She felt that everything in the future would be arranged by Li Mu. If Li Mu asked her to perform, she would go there. If he didn't let her go or made arrangements for herself, then she would study at ease.
On July 17, "Flying Tigers" was released for 11 days, and the global box office exceeded 1.6 billion US dollars;
On July 20, "Flying Tigers" was released for 14 days, and the global box office exceeded 2 billion US dollars;
The film broke local box office records in all countries and territories around the world.
Even in Japan, it broke all-time box office records.
In the days to come, the popularity of the Flying Tigers did not seem to decrease at all.
On July 30, "Flying Tigers" was released for 24 days, and the global box office exceeded 3 billion US dollars, making the world go crazy.
The media invented a term called the Flying Tigers effect, which roughly means that the better the movie, the more powerful the box office will be. Its social influence, its strong topical popularity, and finally uncontrollably entered the cinema.
Once the Flying Tigers effect is formed, not only the original user group will be harvested at the box office, but even those users who were not originally within the scope of users will be accidentally circled in.
Therefore, the box office of the movie is going up exponentially!
Of course, the mainland's crackdown on piracy is very thorough, which has also brought a huge guarantee to the film's box office!
Someone steals the recording, arrest; someone tries to steal the copy, a felony, arrest! Someone successfully pirated a movie and then went back to producing CDs. As long as there is a CD on the market, it will immediately be followed, and the sales channels and production ends will be wiped out.
As a result, there is a unified consensus in the piracy industry: if you think that you are not dying fast enough, you will be a pirated version of the Flying Tigers!
