In general, "The Legend of Ghost" became popular and became very diverse.

This is indeed a thriller and horror film. Almost all viewers said after the ending that the whole plot becomes more and more cunning as it goes into the later stage. When the ending explodes, almost everyone is scared.

Not all the audience are Zhang Tianshi. Even though the heroine only has two fangs on the corner of her mouth, when she crawled to the camera, she first had a strange smile, and when she bit her big mouth, not everyone could withstand it.

However, in the last two months of 1984, the reason why this movie was listed in many sections of various newspapers was not just a little horror. In fact, when a newspaper published related articles, it was actually placed in the gossip section.

"On the relationship between showing affection and premature death, and the success rate of actively dying."

The author of this article is completely anonymous, and those who are interested will find that it is like the earlier article analyzing the Huron homicide, which is more like a scattered commentary than news. In short, this already interesting topic attracted many readers, and the sales volume increased significantly with this tabloid, which was originally mediocre.

As this article says, many viewers think after watching the movie, although the later stage of the movie is horrible, the early stage is simply a classic comedy. Many people even say that watching this movie is like a roller coaster. The early stage drama style makes them almost unable to eat popcorn, and the subsequent thrilling atmosphere makes them almost unable to eat popcorn. Anyway, popcorn is in trouble.

As the title of the article explains, the male and female protagonists kept showing their affection in front of the audience at the beginning, but they were still presented in the form of self-photographers. Is there anything more to arouse hatred than this? So, when the male protagonist suddenly dropped his IQ and kept using various means of death to contact the demon, few of the audience were sympathizing with him.

It's too late to run away when encountering such a thing, and he still has the intention to have a gang relationship with the devil in front of his girlfriend...

All female audiences said that this kind of scum died early and was born sooner. If they met him by themselves, let him reunite with his demon friends in hell. I will find another normal man.

However, what made this movie popular the most was actually a detail in one of the plots.

The hero who died in August 1984 used the Windows 1.0 operating system launched by Microsoft in November 1984, and used one of the audio analysis software to find opportunities to communicate with the demon, and then he really communicated...

It's popular, everyone is popular.

No one expected that DreamWorks would even receive advertising sponsorship from Microsoft. Many industry tabloids immediately launched crazy reports, and many editors swear to claim that this is what Microsoft wants to use this movie to hype their new products.

Some people even speculate that the reason why Microsoft has missed the votes and released it is because it has to wait for the release of the movie. Otherwise, why did the movie come to advertise just after it was released?

Therefore, not long after Microsoft launched its products, it immediately ushered in a higher-level start. Their initial sales were already very good. After many people watched the movie, snowflake-like orders came wildly.

Furthermore, the movie itself is of course even more popular. Relying on the simplest public opinion alone, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, and more than one million viewers began to flock to major theaters across the country.

I don’t know if the senior executives of DreamWorks are so foresighted. Faced with the movie watching craze that was in full swing, they were clearly a small company that had just been established, and they actually prepared sufficient copy tapes early and distributed them to major theaters across the country as soon as possible. In this way, while more and more viewers were immediately satisfied, DreamWorks really made a fortune.

In just the first week, the box office of "Ghost Record" soared to 10 million US dollars, which was enough to shock the entire industry. However, one-third of the amount was set on the first day. After all, the gimmick of "shooting ghost movies at the scene of high school students' murder case" is indeed very attractive, and the role of those tabloid articles earlier was particularly prominent.

Therefore, in the second week, the box office suddenly rushed up like a roller coaster. Not only did the starting point be super high, but there was no sign of falling into the abyss. Whether it was the impact of hype in all aspects or the oral publicity brought by the quality of the movie itself, it brought shocking box office to "The Legend of the Ghost".

In recent times, there have been almost always long queues in front of theaters in all cities in the United States, and their goals are all the new works of DreamWorks!

But what followed was a lawsuit.

It was the parents of the three victims of high school students.

If the movie didn't become popular, it would probably be the case, but now, "The Ghost Record" has almost made its first-day box office so high to such an extent, how can it calm the victim's family?

After all, if you win the case, the compensation will be equivalent to winning the Mark Six lottery. Many people can't help but make a lot of money for free in the name of venting their anger.

So, one day the second week of the movie's release, another news pushed it to the forefront.

The families of the three high school students sued DreamWorks Company for compensation on the grounds of infringing on the honor of the deceased.

Not to mention how the general public is looking forward to the follow-up of this case, when this news was released, the box office of "Ghost Record" that day suddenly increased by 40%, and the second day increased instead of decreasing, and it ushered in another climax!

The fire is adding fuel to the fire.

As economically developed regions of the United States, this movie has been released in almost all theaters in all cities. Of course, large cities in more inland areas such as Las Vegas, Salt Lake City, Albuquerque, Atlanta, Chicago, etc. have long been staged. In addition, many countries such as Canada and the United Kingdom, France, West Germany, Spain and Italy have also become the first overseas version venues. The film is easily launched into the international market.

At this moment, the movie has only been twelve days before it begins to release.

As for the lawsuit, DreamWorks issued a statement as soon as possible: Come on, who is afraid of Who?

That's the general idea.

You know, the characteristic of the United States is that as long as the lawyer is hired well and the one is good, it can be said that it is black even if it is white.

What's more, this matter was just the three couples who were looking for trouble by themselves. When DreamWorks was promoting movies, they never used the title of "the scene of the high school student's murder case", but just simply filmed there. If the three couples really wanted to sue someone, they should have to find relevant newspapers.

So, facing the lawsuit that must be won, Alice said that this is nothing, as long as the movie and the company become popular.

"As of today, it has been released for fifteen days. In terms of the box office in Shanghai, our main business revenue has reached 45 million US dollars. It has just entered December, and the Christmas schedule has just begun. It is possible to continue this popularity until February next year. In other words, it is certain that it will exceed 100 million."

The DreamWorks headquarters located in the south of Sunset Avenue is just a few-story building, but this building has become the focus of media and public opinion in just one month, under the influence of major print media across the country.

"It's really unbelievable. Although it's been half a month... but it's only half a month. The current income..."

In the chairman's office, Lawrence looked at the financial statements with a complicated look, while Alice, who was sitting opposite him, was leisurely savoring the tea.

"The camera is directly used by the company, not counting the filming fee. The total shooting cost is only about 23,000 yuan, and the current income is already...two thousand times.two thousand times the rate of return..."

It is of course to say that Lawrence is ecstatic now. As the first movie of his newly opened company, it is simply a fabulous achievement to achieve such a high box office with such a low cost!

But he was also complaining in his heart, because he had already agreed with Alice that the company would only charge the release and promotional fees of the movie, and the box office revenue was completely attributed to Alice alone, and the company had no share at all...

The shooting cost investment of just 20,000 US dollars is just because it is only 20,000 US dollars, so Alice paid all the money alone, so there is nothing to do with the company...

"Uncle Roger, I want to get the box office revenue of this movie on a monthly basis."

Alice had already calculated her schedule and said to Lawrence: "After Christmas, my family and I will go to China. This trip will take about a month. It will definitely be inconvenient to contact the country at that time."

Lawrence naturally did not doubt that he was there, and there was no conspiracy. He agreed immediately, but he couldn't help but ask: "Did you visit your hometown?"

Alice smiled, not saying anything.
