Entering the end of July, Fox Pictures launched the science fiction blockbuster "Alien", which took a year and a half to produce.

The film is directed by Ridley Scott and starring Signey Weaver. It has a total investment of more than $25 million. It is the largest investment in Fox Pictures in the past two years.

This movie was prepared in advance, and took three months. Hundreds of props, sets, models, and concept pictures were drawn. It took nine months to shoot it in total, and then it took another half a year to create special effects and edit them into films. It can be said that it was meticulously crafted and quite difficult.

Now the stinky daughter-in-law is going to meet her parents-in-law. After a year and a half of production, it is finally going to meet the audience.

The industry is also very concerned about this movie. Because when it was filming last year, just selecting directors and actors, it alarmed the entire Hollywood, with an unprecedented scale.

But the last person Ye Jin selected was Ridley Scott and Signey Weaver, two unknown people. They lacked experience and were not very famous, but they wanted to serve as the main creators of this science fiction blockbuster, which made many people wonder if Ye Jin was crazy.

Now that the movie is finally coming, it's time to see how good it is.

If the filming is done well, it is of course very good. If the filming is not done well, there will be a good show to watch.

...

On July 25, "Alien" was previewed in a theater in Los Angeles.

Because the capacity of the screening hall is limited, there are only 80 people watching movies, but it has attracted nearly 1,000 people to sign up.

Finally, after drawing lots, eighty viewers were selected. A confidentiality agreement was signed in advance to ensure that the plot was not leaked before the movie was allowed to be viewed.

After they entered the screening hall, the movie "Alien" officially unveiled its veil to them, revealing its true face.

"Wow, it's so scary!"

"Ah!! I'm scared!"

"Oh my god, my god!"

During the movie watching process, similar sounds came one after another in the screening hall.

After the screening, nearly half of the people walked out with their legs weak.

...

The preview of "Alien" was very successful.

Nearly 70% of people said this is the most horrifying movie they have ever seen; nearly 60% of people said that the movie has excellent special effects; nearly 90% of people think it is a masterpiece and will recommend friends and family to watch...

Film critics also have a very high evaluation of it.

Famous film critic Roger Ibert commented: "Alien always shocked us with its strong darkness and horror."

The New York Times review stated that "Alien is the most worth watching on the big screen, and its excellent special effects will bring unparalleled enjoyment to the audience."

Famous film critic Tom Grant commented: "The horror movies I've seen before are trying to find a tangible threat like "Alien".

The audience and film critics have such high praise for this movie, which immediately made the industry understand that Ye Jin made another masterpiece, and that the possibility of box office success is very high.

Sure enough, "Alien" was officially released on August 5th.

On the first day of its release, the box office was 4.5 million US dollars, which was considered to be fair. But in the next few days, the box office of this movie seemed to be filled with blood and kept rising.

The box office of the next day reached 5.5 million US dollars, the box office of the third day reached 7.2 million US dollars, and the box office of the fourth day reached 9.1 million US dollars...

The crowd of moviegoers filled the cinemas, and the long queues for buying tickets were four or five hundred meters long, vast and like a dragon.

Seeing this attitude, the industry couldn't help but be envious and jealous.

"Why is Ye Jin so talented that he can come up with such a good script."

"Ye Jin can always bring surprises to people, but it's a pity that he doesn't work for us!"

"Who would have thought that an unknown director could make such a good movie? Ye Jin's eyes are so sophisticated!"

"Siggney Weaver was not even an 18th-tier artist before, but now he has become a box office hit actress all of a sudden. His fate is really amazing!"

Movie fans admire Ye Jin very much and like him very much.

"The movie "Alien" is simply amazing. I kept trembling when I watched it, which was so exciting!"

"Ye Jin's movie has never disappointed me, and "Alien" is the best horror movie I have ever seen!"

"I really want to meet Ye Jin and ask him which one is better, Alien or Jedi!"

...

"The Aura" is so popular at the box office, "Alien" is also sharp, and Fox Films once again dominates the summer season, which makes other Hollywood producers envious and jealous.

The big sale of the two films, especially the big sale of "Alien", made the stock price of Fox Pictures soar by nearly 20%. This also made the investors who subscribed to Fox's new stocks very happy.

The rise in stock prices has caused Fox's market value to rise, now reaching $2.6 billion, which also gives it more confidence to expand.

In mid-August, Fox Broadcasting Corporation once again won three local TV stations, located in Milwaukee, St. George and Omaha.

After taking over these three TV stations, Fox TV has covered more than 26 million viewers. Although it is not as good as NBC, CBS and ABC, it is already the fourth largest TV network in the United States.

Fox TV is also preparing to gradually get rid of its dependence on NBC, CBS and ABC and develop independently.

Before this, in addition to news programs, Fox's TV stations cooperated with NBC, ABC, and CBS.

Seventy-five percent of the program content is provided by these three major TV networks. Even the advertisements they play are designated by the three major TV networks.

In return, the three major TV networks can draw commissions from TV advertising. Their commission ratio is very high, accounting for about 80 to 90% of advertising revenue.

It can be seen from this that the local TV stations in Asia are like vassals of the three major TV networks, and almost all the incomes are taken away by the three major TV networks. The same is true for Fox TV.

Therefore, in order to develop, it must get rid of its dependence on the three major TV networks. To get rid of its dependence, it must first have excellent TV programs.

It is worth mentioning that America's TV stations are not allowed to make their own entertainment programs, nor are they allowed to hold copyrights for entertainment programs, except for news programs.

The reason is that in the early 1970s, the Yamelica Department ruled that the three major TV networks had nearly monopoly on prime time programs, so they ruled that they would withdraw from the production of entertainment programs. In addition to news programs and current affairs programs, they were prohibited from holding the copyright of the program in whole or in part, which is called the [Financial Income and Syndicate Cases].

This case was actually promoted by the six major Hollywood giants.

Because in the 1960s and 1970s, television had a huge impact on the film industry, so the six giants did not live well themselves and did not want their opponents to live too well, so they promoted this case.

The three major TV networks have lost the copyright of the program and can only buy programs from outside. The company that is the best in producing programs in the world is undoubtedly the six major Hollywood producers.

As a result, the six major Hollywood producers have gone from simply making movies to later filming TV series, variety shows, cartoons, etc., and they are all versatile.

Like "Friends" was shot by Warner, "Hannah Montana" was shot by Disney, and "Desperate Housewives" was shot by the touchstone.

Later, when several major TV networks were controlled by Hollywood giants, the case was cancelled under their push.
