The premiere was of course very successful. The box office of "Die Hard" in its first week was as high as 15 million US dollars, becoming the first movie in 1988 to have a box office of over 10 million in its first week. It also broke the previous record of "Pulp Fiction".
》The record of US$11 million in the first week is, of course, Sentang's own record.
This immediately caused an outcry in the American entertainment industry.
Don't look at the two movies "Pulp Fiction" and "Die Hard" that can easily exceed 10 million in box office in the first week. You must know that in the 1980s, even in the United States, the average film market performance in a year was in the teens.
It’s around 100 million U.S. dollars, but the world’s total is less than 2 billion.
Of course, this is the average level. If there are good works that drive the box office this year, then it will be slightly higher. Otherwise, if there are bad movies, then the box office will be lower. Unlike more than twenty years later, the box office will be lower in the United States.
The box office revenue easily exceeded 10 billion, and the global revenue exceeded 20 billion US dollars.
Therefore, in an environment where the total box office for the whole year is just over a billion US dollars, a movie with a box office of over 100 million US dollars is enough to make a director and actor famous. Quentin Tarantino is relying on the movie "Pulp Fiction"
With a movie that has grossed more than 100 million US dollars at the box office, he has gone from being a freelancer hosting small banquets for others to becoming a newly emerging young director in Hollywood.
The most obvious feature of a movie with a box office of over 100 million is to look at the box office in the first week and the box office in the month. Basically, it must exceed US$7 million in the first week and reach US$30 million in the month. Once these two conditions are met, then the movie
The box office will have a chance to exceed 100 million.
"Die Hard" had a box office of 15 million US dollars in its first week. This result far exceeds the first standard of 100 million yuan in box office, so it can be concluded now that the second film produced by Shengtang Company has once again crossed the box office.
Entering the box office ranking of 100 million yuan, the next step is to see whether this movie can exceed 200 million yuan.
The media reported it one after another.
"There is no doubt that "Die Hard" has the genes of all action blockbusters. It is a rare and wonderful film in recent years, and it is very suitable for the whole family to watch on the weekend!"
"Bruce Willis played a down-and-out boxer for us in "Pulp Fiction". The only thing we remember is his fiery temper, and in "Die Hard" his violent temper wiped out even the international
The criminal police were helpless against the terrorist, but this young man succeeded...!"
"Shengtang Company can be called a star manufacturing factory. Sibella, Jessica and other singers are rising rapidly. Let's not talk about Adès. Maybe in two years, her historical status will be comparable to Madonna. Quentin
Tarantino was dug out of the Los Angeles Fire Department by Santo
Come on, now it's Bruce Willis's turn... Young people, if you want to be famous, go to Shengtang Company. Jimmy Liu, this magical kid from the mysterious East, seems to have the Midas touch. Who is he pointing his finger at?
, who can become famous overnight...!"
Just like in his previous life, Bruce Willis became popular with the movie "Die Hard". Other companies have approached him to film, and his salary has soared from 400,000 US dollars to more than 1 million US dollars, making him a first-class actor.
The procession of stars.
Just as the media said, Shengtang Company is advancing hand in hand in music and movies. All the works are sold well and are very popular. Dollars are flowing like water to the accounts of Shengtang Company, along with all the singers and actors.
They are all famous, and their net worth has soared like a rocket. This is a miracle.
How did the miracle happen? Everyone can see it. In all the songs produced by Shengtang Company, the lyricist is Jimmy Liu, and even the arranger has his name. The screenwriters of "Pulp Fiction" are Jimmy Liu and Quentin Talon.
Tino, and the only screenwriter for "Die Hard" is Jimmy Liu. In other words, all the works produced by Shengtang Company are written by Jimmy Liu, and he is the reason why miracles happen.
Many people will suspect that Jimmy Liu is a gimmick, and there must be a team behind it to create it, but real experts don’t think so. Even established film companies such as Paramount and Fox firmly believe that it was this eight-year-old child who created it.
Everything about Shengtang Company.
The reason is very simple. There are countless screenwriters and songwriters in Hollywood. Everyone knows what level they are. Those who can write a divine song like "Baby One More Time" must be a hot songwriter. Plus, this song is so popular.
It ranks first in the rankings in many countries. If Liu Lang plagiarized other people's works, the real author would have jumped out long ago. In the face of huge interests, any feelings are fake.
These are all common sense, and you can tell the truth at a glance. This also explains why everyone is obedient to Liu Lang. Even the proud director Lucas is respectful in front of Liu Lang, because they all know
, without Liu Lang, there would be no Shengtang. Without Shengtang, they would be nothing. This is the fact.
So why does Liu Lang have such rich creative inspiration? No one knows this. It can only be explained by genius. So now many stars in Hollywood, especially singers, want to ask Liu Lang to sing. Unfortunately, their wish is doomed.
It will never come true. Liu Lang is the boss of Shengtang Company and he is not short of money. Who can hire him? Besides, if there are good songs, will they be given to singers from other companies?
Only Michael Jackson publicly admitted that Liu Lang wrote a song for him, which can be regarded as a testimony of the friendship between the two, but that was Jackson, and others could not.
Now many people in the American entertainment industry have called Liu Lang an entertainment prodigy, and predicted that he will have the opportunity to become a godfather-level boss in the entertainment industry in the next twenty years. As for Shengtang Company, many people believe that it will become a godfather in the entertainment industry within five years.
America's largest entertainment company.
Of course, many people hold different opinions and feel that Liu Lang's creations will not be so terrifying every year. Even the talented Michael Jackson only released three albums in ten years, and he only composed seven or eight songs himself.
For songs, Liu Lang's creative ability is at best on par with Michael Jackson. As time goes by, his creative ability will definitely level off and he will definitely not be as productive as he was in the past year.
Those fans and movie fans hope that Shengtang Company will continue to be "crazy". After all, everyone likes such good works, but other film and television entertainment companies do not want this. All your works a year have platinum sales of more than one million, and you can't let it go.
Let others live? This is simply a monopoly, monopolizing the entire entertainment industry. It will not take two or three years if this continues.
At that time, other companies will beg for food. This kind of behavior will be targeted in any country. Even now, many entertainment companies have begun to take countermeasures privately. For example, Sony has contacted Adese privately, hoping that the other party can cooperate with
Shengtang Company parted ways, even if it meant paying tens of millions in liquidated damages, it still wanted to poach Adais away.
The senior management of Shengtang Company doesn't know about this yet, but even if Liu Lang knows, he won't be afraid. They can poach Adais, but can they poach himself?
