Chapter 800 Hasbro's Price
Walking into the office, JR Jones handed the briefcase to the assistant, turned to the back of the desk, picked up the appropriate coffee and took a sip, and then turned on the laptop.
"Blake." He looked at the female assistant, "Are I ready for what I want?".
"It's ready, in the folder on your right hand."
After answering, the female assistant quickly left the office. She understood that her boss had a high vision and almost grew on her head. In the past few years, any movie he was not optimistic about would always lose his temper when he achieved a high box office. The box office of "Transformers 2" would definitely make him go wild, and she didn't want to be a punching bag.
Although he knew that he could only avoid it for a while, Black still hid in his seat without hesitation. Since the new century, the boss has lost his temper more and more frequently because he is not optimistic about Disney commercial movies, and he always easily gets high box offices, while his reviews are almost no one pays attention to them.
Thinking of the boss's poor income in the past year, Bu Nothing was wrong. Lake couldn't help but lament that his welfare was getting worse and worse, and maybe it was time to change the industry.
In the office, JR Jones found a thin piece of paper with the North American first-day box office and the world first-day box office of Transformers 2: Revenge of Fallen King Kong.
North America's box office of $69.05 million! Global box office of $185.66 million!
This is the 24-hour record of Transformers 2: Revenge of Fallen King Kong.
His hands shook slightly, jr? Jones patted the table heavily, cursed a few words starting with "', and his whole face was almost distorted. It seemed that he could not vent his anger and unwillingness in his heart. He exerted force with both hands, tore the printing paper in half, and after being plucked into a ball, he threw it hard to the ground.
“!…”
He felt anger burning in his chest. The movie was so bad. It clearly had no connotation or depth. Why did those idiots still buy tickets to watch it?
Could it be that all the people in this world have fallen?
Suppressing his anger, JR Jones opened his own online column. The article he published immediately after the premiere ended, and it seemed that he did not play any role. If it were ten years ago, it would not be too difficult to influence the box office of millions or even tens of millions of dollars with the popularity of these people.
He remembered the treatment last night, movie tickets, round-trip air tickets and other expenses. They were all his own pockets. In the past, these were all necessary expenses for the producer and publisher, and there was no way to talk about the gifts. In the past, films of this scale were released, and he could always receive a check of at least five digits, and now there is nothing more...
"!"
"Damn Disney! Damn Ryan Jenkins! Damn Transformers and Michael Bay!"
Just as he cursed in his heart, jr? Jones entered the column. Although his influence was not as good as before, there were always some supporters. Every time the video appeared, someone would reply below. Whether it was echoing or counterattacking, it always made him feel that he had not been completely forgotten.
"Although this year hasn't passed, I can say with certainty. As far as the movies that have been released now, Transformers 2 is definitely the worst and most disgusting, no one, it won the first place! What this movie is disgusting in the summer season. He just packs up and throws it out. Michael Bay doesn't care about the quality and theme of the film at all, so I'm very disappointed."
"If you are worried about missing the beginning of the story clue due to being late - don't worry. Transformers have no storyline, nothing; you can look at your watch and wait twenty-five minutes before entering the venue."
"Of course, if you are interested in summer and humans are still in the estrus period of spring in primitive society, you can still rush to the road for the first twenty-five minutes."
"If you were to see Alessandra Ambroshew, and you are a man, I have nothing to say. She has a very spicy figure and a bad face. She is also a growing material need for pouting and kissing, but it is really annoying to always show off her breasts and butts in front of the camera. I would rather see a bulldog in heat - at least the bulldog is not a hidden real need,..."
With his eyes following his comments, JR Jones is still very satisfied with his reviews. This can always bring some trouble to the movie. Even if it affects thousands of people not entering the theater, it is a counterattack against Ryan Jenkins.
Last year, his agent had contacted Disney and expressed his desire to cooperate, but was rejected by Disney's management. The reason given by Disney was simply unbearable - the critics were not worth the price he offered.
Jones pulled the review to the end and wanted to see the reply from netizens below. Only when he saw someone following his column could he regain his past feeling, the feeling that the review determines the life and death of the movie.
“What?”
He suddenly widened his eyes, as if he had seen an incredible scene.
The reply number below the movie review is zero, and the number of browsing is pitiful twenty-three, this... this is simply...
Jones rubbed his eyes, as if he couldn't believe what he saw. This review has been published for more than 24 hours, so why is there a lack of attention?
However, the truth is here. Even if he crushes his eyes, the two vivid numbers remind him that you are not interested!
"Bang!"
There was a cracking sound of a coffee cup smashing on the floor in the room, and Black remembered that it happened after the release of "Iron Man 2".
Poor professional critic...
For some reason, this kind of thought suddenly appeared in her mind.
The more professional critics hate "Transformers 2", the more they like "Transformers 2". In just two days, on the Rotten Tomato website, which best reflects the taste of critics, the freshness of "Transformers 2" has dropped to 22%, but inversely proportional to it, the film's rapid box office figures.
After winning a North American box office of $69.05 million on the day of the day, Transformers 2 won $45.68 million and $40.95 million on the following Saturdays and Sundays. North America won $155.68 million in the first three days of the first week, and without any suspense, it took the throne of the North American box office rankings.
Although "Transformers 2" is not as crazy as last year's "The Hunger Games 2: Catching Sparks", it shows strong enough momentum.
$235.88 million in five days, $268.75 million in one week, and $300 million in ten days...
In terms of global box office, the global box office exceeded 400 million US dollars in just five days. When the film was released all over the world for a week, the box office of 525.66 million US dollars announced to the world another super big-selling film.
It is almost inevitable that the global box office of the film exceeds $1 billion.
In addition, various products related to Transformers were sold again, especially Hasbro's Transformers toys. During the film's hit, sales increased by 440% compared with the same period last year.
North America is the well-deserved first vote for "Transformers 2". China's renewed enthusiasm on the other side of the ocean also surprised Disney and Hollywood.
Although all the texts related to Shang Hai in the film were knocked off by a large scissor, a considerable number of plots in the film have been hyped up in China. In the Chinese trailer, the footage of the Chinese actress appeared from beginning to end, which to a certain extent inspired the enthusiasm of Chinese audiences.
The film was released simultaneously in China, and the attendance rate of the zero-point period was close to 95%, which is enough to see the popularity of "Transformers 2" in China.
Although there are many complaints about "American soldiers using weapons to defeat aliens, and China uses advertising to conquer Hollywood", in the subsequent release, the 3D and IMAX versions of "Transformers 2" are hard to get.
The box office of "Transformers 2" on the first day of 38.9 million rmb also easily surpassed the single-day box office record of "Transformers" in China's 32.41 million rmb.
This film set off a more popular movie viewing frenzy in China than the first film. Its first week was 129.55 million rmb in three days, and then exceeded 200 million in five days and 300 million in eight days, both of which set new records in the Chinese film market.
17 days after its release, "Transformers 2" broke the Chinese box office record of 430.05 million rmb for only two years, successfully topped the throne of the historical box office championship of the Chinese box office list.
However, even though Disney has made a lot of efforts, Transformers 2 still has not obtained the extension key of a certain game. In just 30 days, it was the first to step down from the Chinese market.
565.78 million rmb, this is the brand new Chinese movie box office record, which belongs to "Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen King Kong".
In August, the North American box office of "Transformers 2" steadily moved towards the $400 million mark. Another huge success of the film also made Hasbro full of confidence in its toy adaptation film. After repurchasing the adaptation rights of "Special Forces" from Jenkins Pictures, they are working with Stephen Somos to create a live-action movie.
With a successful precedent, Hasbro raised the production budget for Special Forces: The Rise of Cobra to $170 million.
In order to get this series back, they not only paid the original three times the adaptation transfer fee, but also sold two percent of the peripheral share of "Transformers", so they naturally wanted to make it into a super-selling series.
Most importantly, Hasbro invited Ryan to offer a price of $30 million plus 30% of the global box office share, inviting him to play the absolute protagonist Duke - Duke - and there is room for negotiation.
Of course, they knew that Ryan was not short of money, but such a rare price was a symbol of his actor status in Hollywood.
After simple thinking, Ryan politely declined Hasbro's invitation. His next work had already been full and there was no suitable schedule. (To be continued...)
