Chapter 2683 "Avatar" Is a Sensation

Sometimes Xiao Qi feels that people who engage in film and television are very comfortable.

Take the current Beckham as an example, who is it not to play Fandale? Could it be that you don't pay the film if you find someone else? Is it necessary to increase the salary to find Beckham?

the same!

But if you choose Beckham, you will get his gratitude and make him willing to play football in Huaguo. This is something that money cannot buy!

Being able to send favors and add luster to movie characters, being an investor in movies and TV really has great power and convenience.

No wonder so many producers and investors, including directors, can do whatever they want to female stars.

But this is also the rule in the entertainment circle, Xiao Qi will not do that kind of coercion, but he has no way to make this circle completely clean, he can only make his related affairs as simple and direct as possible.

Xiao Qi is currently staying in the United States, the most important thing is the process of Disney's privatization, he must watch it, and if he encounters a problem, he will communicate as soon as possible.

Fortunately, with the full efforts of the Blackstone Group, Disney's privatization did not have too many difficulties.

Still the same sentence, the Japanese have bought Columbia and MGM, can you still prevent the richest man in the world from buying Disney?

In the United States, all business activities within the scope of the law are normal and should be protected, at least on the surface.

Even if someone wants to be dissatisfied with this, then the Blackstone Group, which took so much money from Xiao Qi, is not a vegetarian. Their power in the government is very strong!

Therefore, Xiao Qi himself had nothing to do. After Du Feixing returned to Huaguo, he shuttled back and forth in the adjacent manors of his two wives, played with his two daughters, and enjoyed the happiness of being equal to others.

Before I knew it, it was December 15th, Monday, and tomorrow at midnight on the 16th is the day when "Avatar" will be released.

After the UK took the lead in painting a few days ago, "Avatar" has aroused unanimous praise from British movie fans.

Of the 550 screens of the Kiwi European Cinema Line in the UK, 70% of the film schedule is given to "Avatar". As a result, "Avatar" was sold out from the premiere on the first day, until a few days later, the average attendance rate has exceeded 60% - this is the attendance rate even at 9 o'clock in the morning. golden hour. Basically it's full.

The British media also gave the highest marks to Cameron's performance.

"Ten years ago, Cameron conquered the world with "Titanic", and 10 years later, "Avatar", which is full of wonderful colors of science fiction, once again deeply touched the hearts of movie fans!"

"Watching "Avatar" in 3D and IMAX screen. Definitely a treat, it's not the same as watching the 2D version!"

"Now I finally understand why Americans can lead the trend. This kind of movie-watching experience is really emotional!"

"According to our reporter's interview at the entrance of the cinema, more and more audiences prefer 3D and IMAX screens whose prices are three times higher than ordinary ticket prices. They don't care about money, they only care about seeing the best movies!"

"The 3D and IMAX screens are full of audiences, will the American film technology once again dominate the world?"

"..."

To say that the British media is relatively polite, the performance of those ordinary movie fans on the Internet. That can be described as extreme excitement.

"FK! I swear on my grandpa's name, you will regret it if you don't watch "Avatar"!"

"It's great! When the birds and beasts were flying and running on the 3D and IMAX screens, I thought they were right in front of me! I watched it three times in a row because of the immersive feeling. But never get bored!"

"My girlfriend was so scared that she cried, haha! Such a realistic movie shocked me! For more than two hours, I forgot to drink water and go to the toilet, so that after the movie ended. We have to send a long line to go to the bathroom!"

"Some people say that Cameron is dead? Take a good look at "Avatar", this is the movie we want to watch!"

"Avatar's movie box office must be high! I guess it should be the number one in the world!"

"..."

In the Internet age, any news can be delivered to the whole world in the first time.

If only the British were yelling, it might not have been a big deal. But after yesterday's screening in the UAE, those stereotyped Middle Easterners actually praised it on the Internet, which made people look forward to it even more.

The theater chains in the United States are also very cooperative.

Kiwifruit North America Cinemas, which had originally allocated 70% of the film schedule, after Qiao Guoer listened to the opinions of Kiwifruit Europe Cinemas, directly discharged 90% of the film schedule tonight, and asked Cameron to call again in person. Thanks a lot.

With the praise from the UK and the UAE. Coupled with Kiwi's confident film schedule, other large theaters in the United States have also followed suit. Tonight, at least 70% of the film schedule was given to "Avatar", which can be said to have set a record.

In the United States today, almost all the attention is on "Avatar".

The TV shows the scenes of crowds of people at the entrance of various cinemas at any time. Many movie fans have already put on the peripheral products of "Avatar" they bought before even watching the movie, and the whole thing is a sea of ​​joy.

Take the words of a senior NBC commentator, "If you see such a scene, it is hard for you to imagine that the United States is experiencing an economic recession not seen in 30 years!"

Little Taylor has always liked to be lively, but she couldn't let go of Sophie. Like her, there was Tang Mingxiang, so the two young mothers directly discussed and asked Kiwi North American Cinema to bring them a copy. Screened in the movie hall of the manor.

There are the most modern 3D and IMAX screens here, and there is no flaw in the viewing effect.

The commissioners from 20th Century Fox and the staff from Kiwi North American Cinemas were guarding the screening room. Although they could bring a copy alone, if there was any mistake, no one could afford it, so there is nothing wrong with being careful.

After all, the premiere in North America has to wait until 0 o'clock to start. If it is leaked out like this, it will be too late to cry.

Originally only Xiao Qi’s family of three came to see it, but little Taylor called his friend again. At 8 o’clock in the evening, Kaisha and Anna also came, and they even ran over with Scott and his wife. There are almost a table of people, and drinks, snacks, drinks, etc. are placed, and the atmosphere is very lively.

But after the screening of "Avatar", everyone's mood was no longer chatting and eating and drinking.

Xiao Qi watched "Avatar" in the movie theater in front of the school in his previous life, but at that time the movie theater in front of the school didn't have a giant IMAX screen, only the 3D effect, which was naturally worse.

Now Little Taylor’s movie theater is equipped with 3D and IMAX screens, so it looks and feels completely different.

During the entire two-hour movie watching process, everyone held their breath, and their moods fluctuated with the development of the movie. Until the end of the movie, they couldn't recover for a long time.

"It's...so shocking!" Little Taylor murmured, "The movie can still be made like this? It's like we were fighting and fighting with them on the spot!"

"The future movie trends will be like this." Xiao Qi smiled, "With 3D animation technology, Marvel's hero movies can finally shine!"

Little Taylor didn't feel anything, but Scott's eyes lit up.

As Little Taylor's most trusted uncle, he has gradually started to take care of the entire Little Taylor's industry, and Marvel is one of them.

If the 3D animation technology of "Avatar" can be applied to hero movies, how many movies can Marvel's hundreds of heroes create?

Americans are all Marvel fans!

...

The U.S. and Huaguo are shown at the same time. The zero o'clock on the 16th in the U.S. is 13 o'clock in the capital time.

Originally, people in the film industry expected that there would not be many people watching movies during this time period, but after 12 noon, the long queues queuing up in various movie theaters made people jump.

The most exaggerated one is at a Kiwi Cinema on Huaihai Road. The total length of the queue exceeds 80 meters, and from 12:00 noon to 12:00 p.m., the number of queues in this long queue has not decreased, but has increased a lot. .

The box office data for such a half day was quickly calculated in the early morning of the 17th.

The box office of the day was 106 million, setting a record for the highest single-day box office in history!

One day's box office was 100 million, fully accounting for 40% of the day's box office, and it wasn't the weekend! This simply freaked out a lot of people in the film industry!

Not only in China, but also in the United States. The 3,200 movie theaters in the premiere received 23 million US dollars, and the box office on the first day directly reached 71 million US dollars, breaking last year's "Batman: The Dark Knight" 6785. million dollar record.

At the same time, the box office of Canada, Brazil, Huaguo Hong Kong, Huaguo Baodao, Germany, France and other countries also reported consecutive successes, breaking their country's premiere box office records.

On the first day of global screenings, the global box office of "Avatar" reached a staggering 170 million US dollars, breaking the record in the history of the world box office once again!

Xiao Qi was a little surprised by this, but turned to take it for granted.

The "Avatar" in the previous life was not as good as this one in terms of promotion and filming. With the full support of Kiwi Cinemas and the good word-of-mouth, "Avatar" is such an excellent movie. Expected!

If it weren't for the lack of 3D and IMAX screens, it would not be impossible to double this score! ! (~^~)
