Chapter 895 Huge Economic Loss?
Remember in a second【】
October fourteenth.
The opening day box office of "Death Comes" is out.
It did well at the box office, grossing a staggering $9 million!
Yes, the box office of "Death Comes" broke 9 million dollars in the United States on its premiere day. Among horror and suspense films, "Death Comes" directly broke the record and topped the box office of the annual horror film premiere. It ranks second on the all-time premiere box office list of Hollywood horror films, only a small gap of $300,000 away from the classic horror film "Midnight Horror".
This statistic is enough to cause a sensation in the entire American film circle, enough to cause a storm in the Hollywood horror film market, and enough to make the media editors in the major film and television circles explode...
but……
In the early morning of the next day, the media in the American entertainment industry did not publish the news about the record-breaking box office of "Reaper is Coming", but directly published the huge impact "Reaper is coming" on many airports in the United States...
Netizens were dumbfounded after seeing these media reports.
The media claimed that the refund rate of flight 182 at San Francisco International Airport, which was supposed to go to Paris, France, accounted for half of the refund rate, and even the passengers who were about to board the plane unanimously hoped that the staff of flight 182 could check all aspects of the plane repeatedly. Parts, I hope to check the oil pipeline of the plane...
They threatened that they didn't want to see the plane explode during take-off, and they wanted to be alive. At the same time, more than one passenger pointed out that if they didn't really have something important to go to Paris, they wouldn't even be able to approach the airport!
The weird reaction of the passengers made the airport staff very helpless!
They keep explaining to these people that they are one of the safest airlines in the world, and it is absolutely impossible for nonsense things like plane explosions to happen. They even pat their chests to ensure that planes are the safest means of transportation in the world, which is better than cars. What a lot safer!
but……
The explanations from the staff were not helpful.
These speechless situations are not only at San Francisco International Airport this day, but also at most airports in the United States.
In particular, the number of direct passengers on the flight from New York to Paris has dropped by more than half. Although the staff at the airport unanimously promised that there would be no accidents on the plane, the number of passengers who came to get their tickets refunded has not decreased, but has started to increase...
The whole day of October 14th.
U.S. airlines are in a state of great headache.
""The Grim Reaper" is indeed a very good movie, Mr. Lu Yuan is also a very famous and excellent screenwriter, but "The Grim Reaper" is just a movie, everything in this movie The plots are all fictitious, I hope everyone can distinguish reality from movies, just as it is impossible for an airplane to explode..."
On the evening of the fourteenth.
Lawrence posted an article on the American media.
He appealed to everyone to calm down and not be affected by the movie. There can be no accidents or disasters.
Everything is fiction.
Everything is fake.
Unfortunately, Lawrence's appeal is like what the airport staff said to the passengers...
No one will believe it.
after all……
The plane flies in the sky, it does not have an island like a ship, and at least it is still on land like a car, if something happens to the plane, it will be wiped out.
When movie fans watched "Death Comes", although they felt that some things in it were nonsense, after watching it, they felt a feeling of terrified thinking.
Accidents are everywhere. They see car accidents here and hit by cars in the news every day. At the same time, perhaps seeing the movie "Death Comes" has such a huge influence suddenly, some unscrupulous media put it in a few years. The history of the previous air crash that wiped out the entire army was revealed again, and at the same time, the "accident" of the air crash and the situation after the occurrence were described in great detail. The top rankings of each major website are all comments like "God", "I'm never flying again", "I'm not going to Paris", "I'm not going..." and so on.
…………………………………
The box office and popularity of "Death Comes" have been rising all the way, and the major movie theaters are full of seats.
But America's aviation industry suffered.
As of the early morning of October 15th.
The U.S. aviation industry lost nearly 30 million U.S. dollars in one day, setting a new low in history.
This is a data that makes everyone feel headache.
What's even more deceitful is that the wave of ticket refunds is increasing day by day.
Looking at this posture, the influence of the aviation industry on the 16th will be even greater!
Passengers want to refund tickets, can you refuse?
Of course it's impossible!
In fact, some panics are contagious.
Passengers who didn't understand what was going on were also invisibly terrified after seeing the comments from the people around them.
If there is no such thing as an air crash in human history, then "Death Comes" will have no impact.
but……
There are many cases of air crashes in human history, and besides the weather, the causes of air crashes are basically the negligence of the aircraft itself and the staff.
so……
Who can rest assured?

"Remote" entertainment.
^0^ Remember in a second【】
The next day's "Death Comes" box office came out.
It directly reached the figure of 15 million US dollars the next day, directly surpassing the box office of "Midnight Horror" on the second day.
If this momentum continues, "Death is Coming" will definitely surpass "Midnight Horror" and will directly become the number one in the history of Hollywood horror films!
After Lu Yuan saw the box office results, he was not as happy as he imagined.
In fact, he has received complaints from many companies this day.
Complaints from the airlines at first, then advertising companies, shower head retail companies, cable companies...
It is worth mentioning that the ka sanitary ware company publicly criticized the movie "Death Comes"!
They suffered the worst.
Why?
Because the brand of the bathtub and shower head that James photographed belongs to their family.
Their series of orders were directly rejected by users, and countless people even questioned their safety factor. …
This made their business instantly notorious among the user community in the past two days.
morning.
Lu Yuan rubbed his head and looked at the audition plan of "Titanic", and then watched the popularity of the movie "Death Comes" has been rising all the way, second only to "Titanic"...
Lu Yuan felt like a dog.
Lu Yuan never dreamed that "Death is Coming" would have such a big impact!
And this effect is basically negative.
Lu Yuan suddenly remembered a movie "Jaws" in the original world. When "Jaws" pulled a wave of horror box office in the United States in the original world, it indirectly damaged the coastal tourism industry of the United States, causing many beaches in the United States to suffer. Falling into a deserted state, many coastline travel companies directly want to cry.
And what about this world?
Obviously, the movie "Death Comes" has exploded!
The box office not only surpassed the original world's "Reaper", and even had a greater impact than "Jaws"!
Complaints from many companies gave Lu Yuan a headache.
He suddenly realized that it was good that he told the two shipyards that the cruise ship they built would sink, so they had to think carefully before choosing whether to cooperate.
if not……
Lu Yuan is so worried that when "Titanic" is released, the two shipyards will suffer even more.
"beep beep beep"
Just as Lu Yuan was meditating, his cell phone rang.
He looked.
It's James' call.
"boss……"
"James, what's the matter?"
"Let's re-cut the movie, cancel the adaptation of the slogan based on reality, and also cut out the logo of the ka bathroom?"
"it is good."
"Also...boss, I personally issued a statement saying that the story of "Death is Coming" is fictitious, otherwise, the impact of tomorrow may be even greater, not only in the United States, but in the early hours of this morning, I even saw flying around the world. The planes to Paris were dissatisfied with passengers..."
"okay."
After chatting with James, Lu Yuan closed his eyes.
This wave...
It was simply a disaster.
In fact, the promotion of "Death Comes" is completely controlled by James.
Lu Yuan agreed.
only……
No one would have imagined that "Death is Coming" would suddenly counterattack and become such a movie that affects reality.
James is under much more pressure than himself today, and Lu Yuan even heard the US authorities suggest that James put on a little attitude.
……………………………
On the morning of the fifteenth.
"Death Comes" was suspended for half a day.
Half a day later, when "Death Comes" was released again, all fans suddenly found that the slogan "adapted from real events" in the movie was gone, and it became that the story was purely fictitious.
At the same time, James also showed his head on the entertainment channel of ABC TV in the United States, saying something like "The world is safe, everyone don't panic".
but……
A dramatic scene happened!
Not long after James finished speaking, the entertainment news became American news, and the first news was the news of a brake accident in California and a car crash! …
Such news was very common in the United States before, and it is not even news anymore.
After all, car accidents are not uncommon in China's news.
but……
This kind of news appeared after James finished saying "The world is safe..."
It is really……
"Fuck, Director James, have you been kidnapped? If you are kidnapped and someone forces you to say this, just blink..."
"I'm dying of laughter, director James, why are you so good, can't you finish it earlier or finish it sooner?"
"Wait, Director James, after I read yours, why do I feel that the world is less safe?"
"Yeah, I feel the same way..."
"Director James is too good, why do I feel like this is a reverse reminder?"
"..."
^0^ Remember in a second【】
"..."
…………………………………
In the early morning of the 16th.
Lawrence fell silent after looking at a record of ticket refunds and economic losses at San Francisco International Airport during the day.
The box office revenue of "Reaper" reached 17 million US dollars on the third day, reaching a peak!
And San Francisco International Airport's economic losses today are at an all-time low again...
There are even cases where flights starting with 18 have only a dozen or so passengers.
He took a deep breath.
Then……
He found himself really helpless!
Let "Death Comes" not be released?
how is this possible!
He can't do it at all, okay?
……………………………
It was also early in the morning.
"Oh, Mr. Alma?"
"..."
"Mr. Olmar, I really can't help it. I have rectified what should be done and what should be rectified. Now I really can't do anything..."
"..."
"Why hasn't the audition for "Titanic" started yet? Isn't this a messy complaint about "Death Comes"? I just want to delay it...Mr. I've tried my best!"
"..."
The phone hung up.
Lu Yuan closed his eyes silently, and then looked at the moon outside the window.
Can this be my fault?
This……
Hey……
who is it!
Let his grievance flow upstream?
Dear, this chapter is over, I wish you a happy reading! ^0^
