Entertainment: Banned for Five Years, Became the Godfather of Hollywood

Only 3 days after its release, the first-week box office of "Smart: Ghost Story" was fixed at $8,056,600!

On Sunday, it skyrocketed by 5 million!

As soon as the news came out, the American film and television industry couldn't sit still!

You know, this movie is not a big production by a big director.

In the early stage, there was no overwhelming poster propaganda, no star tour propaganda, no premiere ceremony, and no press conference!

Many film media reporters were stunned, as if "Ghost Records" had suddenly emerged from the ground!

Climbed to No. 4 at the North American box office in the first week of obscurity?

What the hell!

This week's box office champion is the recent popular action blockbuster, "The White House Has Fallen"!

The film stars action star Gerard Butler and veteran actor Morgan Freeman.

It tells the story of the famous North American building "White House" that was captured by terrorists, and important people were taken hostage.

The story of retired special agent Gerard Butler on a mission to single-handedly rescue hostages.

The plot is very simple, mainly the shootout and explosion scenes are excellent.

After three weeks of release, it is not too much to win the box office championship with $40.73 million this week.

The second and third places are the sci-fi film "Mobile Escape Room" and the Disney animated film "Crazy Martian".

The 5th to 8th films are also big productions, or films starring well-known directors and Oscar winners.

Among the many films, only "Smart: Ghost Record" is an anomaly.

Horror film, grassroots rookie director, rookie heroine...

Can this also take 4th place?

It's the biggest dark horse of the year! How on earth did Legendary find this film?

All my colleagues were puzzled.

And the distribution managers of those big-name film companies have regretted their bowels.

20th Century Fox is also said to have fired a distribution manager as a result.

Although such a result is enough to exclaim, the box office of "Ghost Records" in the second week...

Completely subvert the cognition of others!

The box office was 41.2533 million US dollars! The box office champion!

boom!

It was as if a bomb exploded in everyone's head!

American film companies, entertainment media, and even the news media are shaking!

Film critics and fans were stunned and speechless!

what is this? Dark horse?

No... this is no longer a dark horse! Not so dark!

Even many people don't understand, what is "Smart: Ghost Recording"?

Handheld DV shooting, the picture is like a home video, how did it become the box office champion?

What a mess!

And Legendary Pictures has only been promoted to 1,000 theaters so far!

1,000 companies, have turned over the action blockbuster "The Fall of the White House" released in more than 8,000 theaters?

A horror movie with a cost of $6,000 beats an action blockbuster with an investment of 150 million?

No wonder the New York Times entertainment section has only one word in its title.

"Crazy! Crazy!"

As one of the largest ticket warehouses in North America, the Los Santos market has exploded, and a ticket for "Ghost Story" is hard to come by.

Another big ticket warehouse is the "Apple City" button.

At the entrance of the city's largest theater, "Infinite Movie Hall", a CNN reporter is holding a microphone and reporting live news to the camera:

"I'm at the entrance of the theater now, it's 11 o'clock in the evening, but it still looks like a huge party! There are still many people gathered here, queuing to buy movie tickets."

"Excuse me, what movie did you guys watch in line for so long?"

The young people interviewed by the female reporter were extremely excited:

""Ghost Records"! Woohoo! It's about to be my line!"

The female reporter continued to ask, "Why are you so eager to watch this film and wait in line until late at night?"

The young man said: "My friends around me have seen it. They blow up the movie and say they are scared. I don't believe in evil. No horror movie can scare me."

The female reporter interviewed a few more audience members, all of whom were in line to watch "Ghost Records".

In the end, she concluded: "It can be seen that this film is really very popular, and I want to go in and watch it myself."

"Now there is a problem, everyone is saying that the film is a real event."

"Later, after refuting the rumor, it was said that it was just a movie."

"So... Who is the director of the film, and who are the two leading actors? Are they really dead? Why did you choose DV to make a film?"

"Hopefully, in the near future, we will have an answer."

...

Legendary Pictures, Chu Xuan has stepped into this place for the first time.

At first, he was mistaken for a salesman by the girl at the front desk, but now when the girl Marlene saw him, Le Diandian came over with water.

"Director Chu, wait a moment, I'll call the president over here."

Not long after, Joe Drake, the president of Legendary Pictures, hurried over.

Now Chu Xuan, in his eyes, is a first-class cash cow!

In less than two weeks, it has grossed $50 million at the box office.

According to this momentum, wouldn't it exceed 100 million?

Really made this kid guess right!

But he doesn't care about these now, and more importantly, how to win over Chu Xuan and let him create more profitable works.

"Chu, our company has been miserable recently."

"Oh? How miserable?" Seeing this old fox selling miserably, Chu Xuan didn't believe a word.

"Every day people gather around the downstairs of the company, or call to ask about Micah's situation."

"Everyone wants to know if Micah is really dead."

Chu Xuan was immediately speechless, and had already reminded in the end credits, "This film is purely fictional".

Why are they all blind?

Joe Drake explained: "You know, most people actually have some heads in their heads...emmmm"

It is true that North American people are indeed a little worried about their intelligence, and it is normal to not see the prompt.

"Then let go of the propaganda completely. Now there is no need to use real events as a guise."

"Understood." Joe Drake nodded, "There's another thing."

"Oh?"

"We settle the box office earnings every week, so the share of the box office for the first week has been credited to your account according to the proportion agreed in the contract, please pay attention to check it."

Then the two talked about the next publicity strategy and the idea of ​​Chu Xuan's new film.

Regarding the new movie, he has not decided to continue to cooperate with Legendary Pictures, so he has not disclosed any information for the time being.

Walking out of the door of Legendary Pictures, Chu Xuan really checked the account information on the bank app.

Account Balance: 5,039,730.12$

After deducting the share of income and personal income tax, it is a full $5 million!

And this is the first week at the box office. According to the 40 million box office in the second week, Chu Xuan will also earn at least 25 million US dollars!

Only now did Chu Xuan clearly realize how much money making movies can make!

It seems that it is necessary to start preparing for the new film! *
