Chapter 616 Conflict Between Mother and Daughter

After Yin Jun's improved script, coupled with sufficient filming funds, Spielberg made this version of "Raiders of the Lost Ark" much better than the previous life.

It can be seen from the box office in the United States that its trend is much stronger than in the previous life.

It's the same here in Xiangjiang.

The box office on the first day was supported by Spielberg, Lucas, and Harrison Ford, and there were two theaters, Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers, and additional theaters joined in. A total of 50 theaters directly made the box office breakthrough 2 million, reaching 2.25 million!

As soon as the box office results came out, it was jaw-dropping!

You know, before this, Xiangjiang’s box office was at most breaking 1 million in a single day, and there were no more than 1.2 million, let alone 2.25 million!

Although it is because of the unprecedented scale of screenings in 50 theaters, the strength of "Raiders of the Lost Ark" is definitely the most important reason.

The filmmakers in Xiangjiang almost went crazy when they saw this.

It's 2.25 million a day, so how much do you get in a week? How much is two weeks? How much did the four weeks show?

Xiangjiang Films broke the 10 million single box office record in 1978, but there was not much progress last year, and none of them broke the 20 million box office record.

Just when people thought that it might not be possible to challenge the box office record of 20 million in three to five years, they did not expect a movie from Hollywood to break through the first-day box office of 2.25 million so easily.

20 million box office, just around the corner!

However, while everyone was excited, they were also a little worried.

Everyone felt a sense of crisis when they thought that a random movie from Hollywood could crush Xiangjiang's movie.

Even though Yin Jun and Zou Wenhuai are the main investors in this film, Hollywood is the leader in terms of creativity, direction and distribution.

One is fine, if only a few come every now and then, then whose world is still in Xiangjiang's film market?

If you want to snipe such a powerful enemy, you can't use outside tactics at all, you can only rely on the efforts of Xiangjiang filmmakers themselves.

Leaving aside the vigilance of Xiangjiang filmmakers.

On the second day, the box office was even more popular. After breaking through 2.7 million, no fans of Hong Kong movies and entertainment circles doubted whether the box office of "Raiders of the Lost Ark" could break through 20 million Hong Kong dollars.

For Lucas and the others, the box office of "Raiders of the Lost Ark" in Hong Kong is always just a child's play. Even if it is a record-breaking 2,000 Hong Kong dollars at the box office, it is only more than 4 million US dollars, which is not as good as most of the single-day sales in North America. box office.

So on the third day, they flew directly to Tokyo, Japan, preparing to create momentum for "Raiders of the Lost Ark" there.

With Japan getting richer and richer, the Japanese film market is about to overtake the UK and become the world's second largest ticket holder. Lucas will never let go of such an overseas ticket holder.

In fact, the condition he promised Spielberg to come to Xiangjiang to persuade Yin Jun was to let Spielberg follow him to promote in Japan, South Korea, Malaysia and other places.

This great director and businessman's obsession with money is very obvious.

At Japan's Haneda Airport, thousands of movie fans have long been waiting.

"Raiders of the Lost Ark" was released in Japan on July 18, which was synchronized with Xiangjiang. Today is the third day of its release.

The strong production cast, the wonderful plot, and the Japanese admiration for American fathers made the opening of "Raiders of the Lost Ark" very fierce in Japan.

Converted into US dollars, the box office on the first day exceeded 2 million US dollars, and the next day's box office also soared to 3 million US dollars, a full increase of 50%!

According to this momentum, "Raiders of the Lost Ark" will break through 30 million US dollars at the box office in Japan. There is no problem at all!

Although it was released in Japan, the producer could only receive about 30% of the box office, but the profit of almost 10 million US dollars is already a big profit.

The main reason for the box office success is that "Raiders of the Lost Ark" is of good quality, but it is also indispensible for Daiying Cinemas to actively contact more theaters and arrange the screening together.

Hearing that Spielberg and the others were coming, Daei released the news early on, and Japanese movie fans and music fans are notoriously obsessed, so of course more people came to the airport.

The live broadcast vehicles of several major TV stations in Japan also arrived at the airport, but their focus was not on these fans, but they frequently pointed their cameras at a sweet girl waiting in the VIP room.

If you want to say which star is the most prosperous now, even the always harsh "Yomiuri Shimbun" has to admit that the female singer from Taiwan has become the most rumored star among Japanese stars.

Regardless of whether it is a TV star, movie star, or singer, they have all been overshadowed by Teresa Deng's light in the past two months, and no one can match.

Not to mention that two days ago, "Raiders of the Lost Ark" was released in Japan, and overnight, it became popular in movie theaters all over Japan.

As a very brilliant supporting role and the only Asian to play, Teresa Teng's pretty figure once again came into the minds of Japanese people.

Since yesterday, Teresa Teng's apartment has been followed by countless paparazzi.

Early this morning, Teresa arrived at Haneda Airport by car as everyone expected, waiting for Lucas, Spielberg and Harrison Ford to arrive.

When a few tall foreigners walked into the VIP room and shook hands with Teresa Teng to say hello, the audience watching the live TV in Japan collectively cheered. They regarded this meeting as a meeting of their own country. The equal exchange between stars and foreign stars and directors is a manifestation of honor.

look!

Our star has broken into Hollywood!

Moreover, she is like a fish in water, and she associates with big Hollywood directors and stars, which is a great honor!

All right.

Regardless of the Japanese's own opinion, Teresa Teng is not happy at this time anyway.

I accompanied Lucas and the others to a Japanese restaurant for dinner, took a break in the afternoon, and went to a movie viewing meeting together in the evening. When Deng Lijun returned home, she saw the old lady watching TV, and the smile on her face suddenly disappeared. dissipated.

Originally Zhao Shugui came to Japan to accompany her daughter, Deng Lijun was very happy.

But I didn't expect that she had only been here for two days, and when Teresa Teng was doing publicity outside, Miura Hui'an came to visit the old lady, and she wanted to make more connections.

"The Goddess in the Toilet" has sold like crazy in Japan, and even Polygram has made a lot of money, and the profit is frighteningly high.

Under such circumstances, Miura Huian of course wants to make persistent efforts and produce a very good album with Teresa Teng next time. I dare not say that the sales volume is the same as that of "The Goddess in the Toilet", which can reach 80% of the achievement. , is enough to go down in history.

But there is one thing, the contract between Teresa Teng and Polygram has actually expired.

Whether it is Polygram in the United States or Japan, neither has the right to produce Teresa Teng's album.

Miura Huian knew that Teresa Teng would return to the United States next time. He thought that Teresa Teng would return to Japan after recording a few albums in the United States, so he told the old lady what kind of treatment Polygram would give her next time Teresa Teng came back. .

Miura Hui'an has worked with Teresa Teng for so many years, so of course she knows how much influence Teresa Teng's mother has on her.

Therefore, he directly spent a lot of money, with a guaranteed price of 10 million US dollars for an album, he wanted to get Teresa Teng's three albums in the next five years.

At first glance, this price is too high, and no singer in Japanese history can get such a generous contract.

But Teresa Teng's "The Goddess in the Toilet" has sold over 13 million copies, and it is very likely to exceed 15 million copies in the future!

For this record alone, Polygram's marketing revenue will reach 300 million US dollars!

Excluding all expenses, including dividends to Deng Lijun and Yin Jun, they can all get more than 90 million US dollars in profit.

With such achievements, Teresa Teng is definitely worth 10 million US dollars to guarantee a record.

The old lady can't see money.

Although she hated the Japanese for ruining her daughter's reputation before, she was immediately moved when she saw the 30 million US dollars guaranteed signing bonus.

Zhao Shugui knew Teresa Teng's mentality when she came to Japan, and knew that after her daughter left Japan this time, not only would she not return to Japan to make an album, she would even come to Japan again.

But faced with the temptation of so much money, Zhao Shugui carried forward her usual style, sold her daughter decisively, and told Miura Huian and Deng Lijun that she wanted to make a decision with Japan.

Zhao Shugui's family has four sons and only one daughter, but she likes the four sons the most. The daughter is just incidental and has no status in the family.

Therefore, thinking that she can get 30 million US dollars to give to her son, how can Zhao Shugui care about her daughter's mood?

Miura Huian turned pale with shock.

In fact, he already had such a hunch in his heart, because Deng Lijun more or less expressed such meaning to him, but Miura Huian didn't think deeply about it.

But now that Deng Lijun's mother said it, it must not be a joke, it is absolutely true!

Thinking that Teresa Teng would never come to Japan again, and that a big cash cow was about to leave like this, Miura Huian couldn't sit still, so she rushed to the scene where Teresa Teng was doing activities, and asked her if there was such a time thing?

Hearing that it was her mother who said it, Teresa Teng felt bitter, but she did not deny it.

After all, I left Japan in the past few days. When Spielberg and the others come over and finish accompanying the "Raiders of the Lost Ark" movie screening, they can return to the United States.

In addition, Miura Hui'an was very kind to Teresa Teng, so Deng Lijun would not hide it on purpose even if he asked this question.

Miura Huian, who still had a ten-thousandth hope in his heart, almost collapsed.

In the past few days, Miura Hui'an has been pestering Teresa Teng, hoping that she can change her mind.

However, Teresa Teng also made it clear to him that she was very disappointed with the fans in Japan and the country of Japan, so she made a decision and would not change it.

Even so, Miura Huian did not give up.

Well, to be precise, he couldn't give up.

Although Deng Lijun refused repeatedly, she felt uncomfortable.

Teresa Teng couldn't bear the pleadings of this old man who has been supporting and helping her all the time.

In addition, she was very dissatisfied with her mother for revealing the secret.

It has been so many years, Deng Lijun has seen clearly the nature of her mother, and knows the reason why she leaked the secret.

Ever since Teresa Teng started singing and performing, Zhao Shugui has always only known to regard her daughter as a cash cow, and desperately let her work hard, but she has never considered her daughter's physical and mental feelings.

I was a little sad and annoyed, so Deng Lijun and the old lady didn't talk much these days.
