Movie tycoon

Chapter 657 Heavenly King Mike (Part [-])
There are various marketing models in the world, but there is one that is the most direct, effective and cheapest, and that is word of mouth!

As the saying goes, gold cups and silver cups are not as good as people's reputation!

This principle is the same everywhere.For example, why did the low-budget movie "Lost in Thailand", which set a box office record in China and reached 12 billion, become so popular?It's not because of the high publicity fees it invested in the early stage, nor because of the number of famous names in this drama, but because of its very good reputation, and it has been widely spread, so it became a big hit!

At the moment, the drama starring Chen Xiaotang follows this principle. After word of mouth among American audiences who have watched the drama, more and more American audiences are becoming interested in the drama.

Under such circumstances, "Assassin's Creed" earned more than 500 million at the box office in the first four days of its screening in the United States, and even more than 300 million at the box office in the three days of the weekend!
The first week's box office was 800 million, which is considered to be in the upper middle class among the popular movies in the United States over the years.

……

"Look! There will be more!" In Jim Afro's film office, Chen Xiaotang confidently said to Paramount President Nick.

"God, dear Chen, why do you think so? It's crazy enough for a foreign movie to earn more than 800 million in the first week. You know, most movies in the United States have lower box office week by week. "Although the president of Paramount has great fantasies about the box office of this film, fantasies are fantasies after all. In his opinion, it is already very good that this Chinese movie can achieve such achievements.

"Trust me, buddy." Chen Xiaotang explained patiently: "You didn't pay attention to the individual statistics sent back by each theater in each state. Did you find it? The box office revenue in California is the highest! The weekend box office even surpassed the other three states and even four states. The combined box office of the three states is more; and the proportion of the audience in a single state of California, the proportion of teenagers accounts for 40.00%, even surpassing the adult audience!"

"What does this mean?" President Nick asked persistently: "If you can convince me, I think our company will consider adjusting the screening period of "Assassin's Creed" to the prime time of night shows every day."

"Of course you should do this, but it's not just for us, sir!" Chen Xiaotang said mercilessly: "The reason is very simple. The reason why California's box office is high is not only because it is a movie theater, but more importantly, Michael Jackson, the king of pop, held several solo concerts there recently. You know, he is my friend and the most loyal propagandist of my show! We advertised it all day in newspapers, magazines, and even on TV!"

"Do you need me to say the rest, sir?" Chen Xiaotang said with a smile: "In the United States, most of Michael's fans are fanatical teenagers, and the main box office consumers of American movies have always been these flowery buds who like to sway their youth , if their idol thinks this movie is good, then..."

"Undoubtedly, Brother Nick." Afro Jim immediately took over, and said to the president of Paramount, who was pondering judgments: "The movie "Assassin's Creed" will achieve even more amazing results next week, all over the United States! I think it will be very difficult to have a movie that sells more than "Assassin's Creed" throughout the year. If you don't adjust the show time, it will only take a day or two. The cinemas under other theater chains—including mine, of course, You will adjust "Assassin's Creed" to the best time period. At that time, it will be you Paramount, not him, Rafi Chen, who will really lose money and make less money; in this case, why not be the "first" who earns the most , how about proactively making adjustments first?"

The president of Paramount immediately raised his head, with a look of enlightenment and affection, and he yelled twice in excitement—Americans just don't know how to be reserved and restrained, so real and direct, Chen Xiaotang looked at Jim and smiled wryly a bit.

President Nick finished celebrating for himself, and excitedly said to Chen Xiaotang and Jim: "Excuse me, gentlemen, I think I should go to work!"

Seeing that President Nick of Paramount had left, Chen Xiaotang shrugged and said to Kim with a smile, "It looks like I'm going to be busy too!"

"Oh, dear Chen, what are you going to do?"

"Of course I paid the bill!" Chen Xiaotang laughed.

The debt Chen Xiaotang wants to repay is a debt owed to the king of heaven, Michael Jackson.

Don't forget, Michael King postponed his concert in order to support Chen Xiaotang's drama.The price is that Chen Xiaotang has to be the guest of his personal concert, and present a song on the stage...

Broadway in New York is a sacred place for many music and song and dance lovers, and it is equivalent to Jerusalem and Mecca, the holy place for musicians.

The performances here are basically more elegant musicals or operas, and ordinary pop music simply cannot be on the stage of such a noble opponent.

But this time, King Mike broke this record. He will hold his own concert at the Broadway Theater to let everyone know that his songs can also enter the so-called "Palace of Elegance"!
The concert hasn't started yet, but tonight's Broadway is already more lively and crowded than usual. The roads, highways, flower beds... Every place where people can stand is already full of people. The number of people present At least not less than tens of thousands, it can definitely be called a grand scene.

"It's been almost 30 years, and I haven't seen such a lively day on Broadway in nearly 30 years!" An old white man said with infinite emotion: "60s song dramas are extremely prosperous, and you can see such lively shows almost every weekend." scenes; but with the popularity of movies, people prefer to sit in movie theaters and watch cartoons instead of watching real musicals. But now, haha, who would have thought that pop music could rekindle the fire of enthusiasm here , let everyone come one after another. Tonight will definitely be a sleepless night!"

The white young man standing next to him was obviously also very excited. Hearing this, he took over the conversation and said, "That's right, you don't want to see who is performing tonight? King Mike! It's good that we can see him on TV usually." Oh, how did I know that I could meet him in real life tonight, haha, luckily I got a ticket, even though it seemed a bit expensive at the time!"

As if in response to his words, many young people in the United States held up the words "asking for tickets" and "ten times asking for tickets", and shouted loudly: "Which friend has extra tickets? Now I offer five tickets." times... ten times the price..."

It's a pity that everyone looked at him like a fool and didn't like him at all. Only one girl said: "God, please stop screaming, who will sell it to you now? Not even twenty times! After all, today In addition to the king of heaven Mike, there is also Lafite Chen who created a space walk. The dance between the two of them is an unprecedented event! It is absolutely rare to see, even only once in this life. Who else do you think? Are you selling tickets?"

The young man was very depressed by what the girl said, pouted his mouth, and said in a low voice: "Who knows? I thought there were a lot of tickets! How did I know it sold so fast?" After finishing speaking, he held his head in infinite depression and said: " Fortunately, I came from far away San Francisco, alas, what a pity."

"No way, a lot of people like you have come here today. Those who asked for tickets in the back are basically from Indiana or even Canada. It's better to go back early, or go to see what's still available in the next few days." Are there any tickets left?" The girl could only persuade him, and then continued to look at the other side of the road, waiting for the arrival of Mike and Lafite Chen.

When all the street lights were turned on, a motorcade finally arrived late. Although the horns were not honking, fans from all walks of life who had been watching for a long time recognized who it was!
"Oh my God, here comes Mike!"

"It's really Mike, everyone, take a look!"

"Mike, I love you!"  …

Countless identical voices suddenly yelled, causing countless people to step up, and the people who came forward wanted to squeeze forward, causing the first riot on the scene.But fortunately, the police station had already made complete preparations, and the shields were immediately connected to form a steel city wall. In the end, there were no incidents of trampled to death or trampled on.

"Wow, I didn't expect you to be so popular, Mike!" Chen Xiaotang rolled down the car window, looked at the crowded and yelling crowd, and said with a smile. "I used to think I was popular enough, but compared with you, I realized that I still have a long way to go!"

Indeed, in Hong Kong and even in the whole of Asia, Chen Xiaotang's popularity is absolutely overwhelming.He said that no one dares to say that the second is the first.But here in the United States, compared with the real pop king Michael Jackson, Chen Xiaotang finally understands what is meant by "there are people beyond people, and there are mountains beyond mountains".

"Hehe, don't be humble, dear man!" Mike laughed, "I said, I will introduce you to the world tonight, with your talent, by then you will definitely become a superstar like me, even They will surpass me in the future!"

"Thank you for your good words, I really hope there will be such a day!" Chen Xiaotang joked. "Wow, there are so many people, probably tens of thousands?"

"That's not enough. I used to hold a concert in Times Square, and the number of fans who joined the concert reached about [-]. At that time, I was afraid that if there was any riot, the sky would collapse!" Mike looked slowly. Fans who are slow-moving really feel a sense of accomplishment in their hearts.When he was very young, he was forced to perform on stage with his brothers in order to make a living.As a little black man, he was stared at by people, but who knows, now he has become the most famous superstar in the world, and his every move can attract the attention of tens of millions of people around the world.

Looking at the silent Michael Jackson, Chen Xiaotang couldn't help thinking, if one day he reached his height and became a world-class superstar, would he be satisfied?

No, I will not be satisfied.

Chen Xiaotang knew himself too well.In my bones, I am not the kind of person who is easily satisfied, but an ambitious runner who keeps moving towards one destination after another.

No matter how rough and bumpy my road is, I can't resist the enthusiasm ignited by my ambition. The kind of enthusiasm comparable to that of a wild animal is enough to make me feel the existence of life and my own belonging.

Those who come from time travel are most afraid of not being able to feel a sense of belonging.And this is exactly what Chen Xiaotang desires most.

So he wants to use each success to prove his own existence, as well as the meaning and value of existence.

To put it bluntly, man is a very poor animal.

Often everything I do is just to comfort the insignificant self-feeling deep in my heart.
