The next day, and throughout the whole day, the four words "I Am Legend" were spread in the mouths of men, women, and children across the United States.
"I Am Legend" was so shocking that it was so popular that it was hard to get a ticket. It cost hundreds of dollars per ticket, and many people got up in the middle of the night and waited in front of the cinema.
Some people even make a fortune by reselling movie tickets. In response to this situation, on the afternoon of July 16, all regular theaters in the United States took measures. Each ID card can only buy one movie ticket per show per day.
In fact, "Terminator 3" is also very exciting, and everyone who has watched it has given it very high praise. However, "I Am Legend" is too exaggerated. The boredom at the beginning only supports the wonderful flattery at the end, so that
Many, many people simply ignored "Terminator 3"
On the morning of the 16th, the box office performance of "I Am Legend" was better than that of "Terminator 3", but not much better. However, after three shows in the morning, the excited publicity of those fans who had watched "I Am Legend" made "I Am Legend"
The reputation of "Legend" was extremely good, so on the afternoon of the 16th, the number of viewers of "I Am Legend" was far greater than that of "Terminator 3".
At 11 o'clock in the evening on the 16th, the box office statistics for the entire premiere day came out!
The box office of "Terminator 3" on the opening day was more than 28 million! It was a good result. However, after seeing the box office results of "I Am Legend" on the first day, everyone was silent! 50 million
!With a total box office of 50 million, doesn’t it mean that it will exceed 100 million in two days?!
"Jack, that's a bit exaggerated!"
"Boss, I'm not exaggerating. I'm really, really excited, 50 million! The box office for the premiere was 50 million. It's so unexpected! I know that all the movies you make will be big hits, boss.
But at first I thought that no matter how exaggerated it was, it could still get a box office of 30 million, which is on par with Warner's "Terminator 3". After all, that movie is a sequel and the audience base is very high! Who knows... 50 million, my God
!How many people have watched "I Am Legend", and the evaluation of this movie is extremely high now. When I was having dinner in the restaurant opposite, everyone around me was talking about "I Am Legend". Even the TV
The news on the Internet is also reporting how popular the movie theater is today. This atmosphere of "Legend" for everyone is so exciting." Fat Jack couldn't control his emotions and said quickly.
"People are curious animals, and the weirder the movie, the more curious it is, the more curious it can arouse their curiosity." Yi Feiyang said calmly. His tone was calm, as if he didn't care much about such success, "As the saying goes, curiosity killed the cat.
, not to mention the box office..."
In fact, deep down in his heart, Yi Feiyang was dumbfounded by such a result. Although the box office results of this drama in his previous life were also very good, it was not so exaggerated. Could it be said that he was really blessed by God? Thinking of this, even Yi Feiyang himself could not bear it.
He couldn't help but shake his head and laugh.
In fact, Yi Feiyang didn't know that if it weren't for the fact that there were too many blockbusters this summer and the film schedule was a bit scattered, this "I Am Legend" would have achieved a better box office.
At this moment, Yi Feiyang's phone rang. It was Spielberg's phone.
"My dear old friend, haven't you gone to bed yet?" Yi Feiyang said with a smile.
"I watched your new movie last night and couldn't sleep...Yi, I can definitely say that "I Am Legend" is a good movie. In addition to the interesting plot, there are many things worth thinking about, especially what you think about it.
Zombies have a humanistic setting, which can be said to be of epoch-making significance. Therefore, your drama made me think about it a lot, so much that I didn’t fall asleep until early in the morning. I rarely slept in this morning and went to work in the afternoon.”
"Now it's night in the blink of an eye. I've been paying attention to the latest news about your drama. I heard that your drama's box office exceeded 50 million on its opening day. Even I'm a little jealous! God, you really are.
Midas Touch, it seems like you didn't show your full strength last time we played against me, right?" Spielberg's tone was a bit exaggerated. But it can be seen that he is really happy for Yi Feiyang to achieve such an achievement.
What are friends? They are moved by you when you are happy, happy for you, and able to share your joy!
"Who said that, haha! I tried my best last time, but the key is that your strength is really too strong!" Yi Feiyang smiled, "As for this time, it can be said that you just took advantage of a lot of conveniences, such as my
The "The Walking Dead" is currently being released on TV, and there are too many sequels this summer and not much novelty, so my show will really become a 'legend'!"
Yi Feiyang is right. He designed a new type of zombies for "The Walking Dead" that he filmed, so that the audience began to slowly accept the "evolution" of zombies, abandoned the inherent thinking mode, and then created a new type of zombies for "I Am Legend".
It lays the foundation for the demonic setting to make it less obtrusive; secondly, the entire summer vacation is basically dominated by blockbuster sequels. To put it mildly, these films have a broad audience base, but their weakness is the lack of novelty. When the audience sees the trailer
You already know the general content and can guess from the beginning to the end. In comparison, "I Am Legend" seems much fresher.
Hearing what Yi Feiyang said, Spielberg couldn't help laughing and said: "Okay, dear Yi, don't play modesty with me! I won't say anything else, but congratulations first. There is one last thing I want to say
I want to tell you, but...it seems like now is not the right time..." Spielberg's tone seemed very strange, "But I hope you don't forget me when you throw a grand celebration party. Well, yes, I will definitely
I congratulate you on the spot and bring you this news!"
"What on earth is it? It's so mysterious. But don't worry, you are indispensable for the celebration banquet. You must come when the time comes!"
In Yi Feiyang's view, the results of "I Am Legend" on the first day are still very good, even unexpected, and the subsequent results should not be bad. One month after its release, there may be a celebration party in Los Angeles.
.
"Don't worry, I will definitely go! Okay, let's not talk about it for now. Go to sleep. I really need to find inspiration now, so I will look for it in my dreams now!"
"..." Yi Feiyang couldn't help but be startled. Could it be that this guy is preparing for a new movie?!
…
"Boss, you said the box office on the first day was 50 million. Can it be more than 1 billion worldwide?" Fat Jack couldn't help but ask with some anticipation.
Yi Feiyang pondered for a moment and said. "The summer vacation period is originally two months. Our movie will be released for a month and a half at most. Judging from the current box office results, it can roughly exceed 500 million in half a month. In the future, the box office will decline, and the daily income will be
If the average is about 10 million, it would be 300 million a month, so the global box office is roughly around 800 million."
Yi Feiyang has analyzed it carefully and conservatively, but in Fat Jack's view, such data is too weak. After all, the global market is so big, and Yi Feiyang's popularity is so strong now, coupled with the reputation of "I Am Legend"
The viral effect will definitely reach more than 800 million people in the future.
At this moment, Yi Feiyang's cell phone rang again.
When he saw it, it was from Will Smith, and Yi Feiyang accepted it with a slight smile.
"Dear Yi, you have made me suffer so much!" Will Smith complained as soon as he opened his mouth. "Originally, I might have starred in this drama, but you gave it to Angelina Jolie. You are so important
You guy who prefers girls to boys! But I still want to congratulate you for your success, Yi. I watched this movie and was so moved. Julie played the role very well. I can’t even imagine if I could have played the leading role.
More than her!"
"Don't be too modest, Will. Your acting skills are so great. If you were to star, you would be very successful!" Yi Feiyang said with a smile.
"Are you trying to comfort me? God, come out, I'll buy you a drink, and then have a good relationship with your big boss, so that you don't fly away again next time you get a good role!"
"Haha, you guys, you should finish filming "I Am Robot" starring you first! Believe me, this drama will also be a big hit!"
"Really? Are you sure? You didn't fool me?"
"Of course, don't you still believe my judgment? To be honest, if your movie were released now, it would also cause a sensation at the box office. Do you know why?"
"What's the reason?" Will asked curiously.
"Because I am the producer of this drama!"
"..." Will Smith was startled, "Ha, people say you are humble, but it turns out you are so arrogant!"
"Correction is not arrogance, but confidence!"
"Okay, you arrogant man, I have made an appointment with Robert Jr. and Cage to go to your house and have a drink!"
"Come to my place? Damn it, you better not come! You know you come here and eat and live for free! Before you leave, you also like to steal my treasured red wine!"
"Don't be so stingy. We will be very good. At most, we won't steal the red wine this time... and just drink up all your treasures!"
…
After a moment, hang up the phone.
"Boss, you'd better turn off your phone! If you don't turn it off, I won't have to sleep tonight, and I'll probably call you!" Fat Jack standing aside said speechlessly.
"If you don't turn off your phone, you don't have to sleep tonight. Get ready. Let's have a party tonight!" Yi Feiyang laughed and said,
"Ah, carnival?"
"Yes, I will not return until I get drunk. If I don't get those thieves drunk, my surname will not be Yi!"
That night, Yi Feiyang and his group drank, sang, and celebrated until three o'clock in the morning.
Yi Feiyang dragged his drunken body and went to bed directly with the support of Hathaway and Jessica. As for his "bold words" about "getting drunk" on the thieves, it was completely shattered because he was the first one to get drunk.
.
…
The outside world has already become crazy about "I Am Legend", and all major media are reporting on the increasingly popular box office results of "I Am Legend".
In just two days, the box office has exceeded 100 million, and judging from the number of moviegoers, it seems that it will become more and more popular.
""I Am Legend" is once again unexpected, and its results are so good that it is exaggerated. Where is the end of China Yi? Could it be said that in a few decades, the top ten box office movies in European and American film history will all be made by China Yi?
It’s so scary!”—Los Angeles Daily News
"I thought it was Mars hitting the earth, but instead it was a comet hitting the earth. "Terminator 3" seemed to be completely defeated on the first day. It's not that "Terminator 3" is not exciting enough, or that Jonathan is not strong enough, but
China’s economy is so amazing.”—The Atlanta Journal
"Looking forward to James Cameron taking action, otherwise, who else in the United States can compete with China Yi!" - Washington Daily
"'Terminator 3' is majestic, both in terms of plot and scenes. However, 'I Am Legend' is even better. The scenes, plots, ideas, etc. are all top-notch. What's even more valuable is that after watching this movie
The film will leave people with endless aftertaste. "I Am Legend" is a great movie. There is no doubt that China Yi has succeeded again!"
…
There is no doubt that many people are filled with wonder, admiration, and confusion about the success of Yi Feiyang's "I Am Legend".
Marvel at how Yi Feiyang continues to create miracles!
I admire the popularity and box office success of this drama!
I’m confused why he is the one who succeeds every time!
Yes, this is Hollywood. The film world should have been dominated by Americans, but now a Chinese director has set off huge waves, and the waves are one after another, seemingly endless.
The previous "Slumdog Millionaire", the previous "The Walking Dead". The previous "The Pursuit of Happiness", the previous "Saw", the previous... In short, this man is known as the "Son of God"
, the "God of Miracles" guy has completely swept away white American directors. Yes, looking at the entire Hollywood, no one seems to be his opponent.
This makes the American director community feel sad. They don't understand whether the enemy is too powerful or they themselves are too incompetent!
As the American director Jonathan who directly competed with Yi Feiyang, he has to admit that this Chinese Yi is very scary. "Like a castle, it cannot be destroyed easily!"
…
A slightly frustrated Jonathan plans to find his "spiritual godfather" James Cameron. The "Terminator" series itself was created by Cameron. The first and second films have become Hollywood classics, but this third film
But it fell into his own hands. Jonathan felt that he needed to explain to Cameron that when people tried their best to recommend him, he also patted his chest to guarantee it, but now, look, man, it's too bad!
It was a gloomy morning, with a layer of dark clouds hanging in the sky above. Jonathan drove to Cameron's residence.
This is a very luxurious and huge villa. At first glance, it looks like a huge castle.
Yes, this is the home of the great director Cameron, and in his opinion, this is his movie world.
When you walk into this "castle", you can see basically everything related to the movie. A huge model of the Titanic ship stands in the large yard, and then there are several models of the robots in the Terminator. In addition,
There are also models of the aliens in the movie "Alien"... It can be said that here you will feel like you have entered a magical movie world. Many movie characters and movie elements will suddenly appear in front of you, surprising you.
Jonathan came here more than once, but every time he was moved by something indescribable.
This is a filmmaker, this is a real great director, the movie is almost integrated into one!
The studio, which can be called a "factory", has a steel frame structure and is extremely spacious. When you suddenly come in, you will feel that you have taken the wrong road and entered an abandoned steel mill or auto repair shop. Yes, this place is full of all kinds of things.
Various car parts, aircraft parts, and even spacecraft parts... At this moment, Cameron is displaying a nearly two-meter blue thing. To be precise, it looks like a "person" with a tail, all blue.
Colorful, pointed ears, long face, and an elf-like appearance.
"You're here, man!" Seeing Jonathan walking in, Cameron just glanced at him for a moment and then started to dress up the "weirdo" in front of him.
"Hello, dear Cameron." Jonathan looked very respectful, full of reverence for his spiritual godfather.
"It seems that you are not in a good mood!" Cameron asked while moving his hands.
"Yes, it's very bad!" Jonathan took off his hat and found a place to sit down. "I basically haven't slept well these days. Damn the movie. The "Terminator 3" I shot will disgrace you!"
"Embarrassed? Oh no no no. You did a great job!" Cameron said with a smile.
"What, you said my photography was great?" Jonathan couldn't believe it.
"That's right, old man." Cameron finally put down what he was doing, "I've watched this movie of yours, and it basically inherits the style of my last two movies, and there are some breakthroughs.
"
"But why can't it beat China Yi?" Jonathan wondered.
"China Yi? He is a cunning fox!" Cameron sneered, "Didn't you realize that this time he treated everyone as monkeys? "I Am Legend" was a trap from the beginning, making people feel boring.
It was a boring trap, but as the story unfolded, it reversed, making the eyes suddenly light up! Do you know that feeling? A blind man was walking boredly in the dark night, and suddenly his eyes saw a bright light. This inexplicable feeling
Surprises can make people make very irrational decisions, and China Yi takes advantage of this. Yes, he is a director who is very good at understanding people's hearts... Remember, Jonathan, making movies is about playing mental games with the audience. They
Pursue that sense of substitution, and what we have to do is to make that feeling even stronger!”
Jonathan couldn't help but nodded, "You're right, dear Cameron, that Chinese Yi is indeed very good at understanding people's hearts! But what should I do now...am I just going to watch his movie like this and make me so miserable?"
Underneath?"
"Of course not, don't forget, this is Hollywood. No matter how arrogant the Chinese Yi is, he has his own bottom line. His movie can exceed 800 million at most, so hello, I have to wait for the opportunity and wait for one to be defeated in one fell swoop.
His timing!”
"What a time, God, I really can't stand that guy's face!" Jonathan said distressedly.
Cameron smiled, then pointed at the blue giant model in front of him and said: "Just watch, Jonathan, when it is put on the big screen, China Yi's magic methods will no longer be there!"
Jonathan looked at the blue giant with a tail in front of him. He was very confused. Can such a monster really defeat China Yi?! (To be continued...)
