In the next few days, Lin Qingxia lived in dire straits every day.
She has too many homework, and it is basically impossible to make up for it in one month. It is like she hasn't studied hard for three years in junior high school and high school, but she tried to get into Tsinghua University and Peking University. It was like a daydream.
The more she couldn't do it, the more stressed she was and the sadder she felt. In less than a week, she lost seven or eight pounds and lost all her whole body.
In comparison, Ye Jin's life is much better.
His three films have achieved excellent results in America, with almost every movie having a box office of over 100 million US dollars. If you count carefully, the three movies can earn at least 300 million US dollars to 40 million.
The newly released "Weekend Night Fever" has also had a surprising box office performance.
This movie, which costs only one million US dollars, aims to reflect the survival status of young people in the lower class of Asiatica, was unexpectedly well received after its release.
Although the box office on the first day was only more than two million US dollars, the box office exceeded the 10 million US dollars mark three days later. Moreover, the box office was soaring, and the momentum of box office growth was even better than "Star Wars".
Hollywood and media were also surprised by this movie that triggered a movie viewing frenzy, and they investigated, analyzing and interpreted it, intending to master the tricks.
After their investigation, the reason why those viewers like to watch this movie is that the music in this movie is really attractive.
The music in "Weekend Night Mania" was created by producer Robert Steelewood's well-known Australian group Bee Ges. Beegees was established in 1958 and consisted of three brothers Barry Gibb, Robin Gibb and Morris Gibb. The album released in 1966 was won the Australian music rankings.
At that time, Robert Steelewood happened to be in Australia. He had heard the songs sung by Beegees and thought it was very good. In the early 1970s, Beegees came from Australia to America to develop. Their style of music changed from soul music to R&B, funk, which was more rhythmic and dynamic, just catered to the rising disco craze, and became a hit.
Steewood needed a lot of fresh dance music to make the soundtrack when he was producing "Weekend Night Fanatic", so he found beegees.
Beeges immediately created more than ten songs for him, including "stay in alive", "how is your love fever. These songs are melodious, their lyrics are touching, and they are perfectly integrated with the plot, so they are widely popular among young people.
John Travolta, one of the stars, has been learning music and dance under the guidance of his mother since he was a child and participated in performances by local theater troupes. He performed on Broadway at the age of sixteen, and his dancing skills are really beyond ordinary people, so after he showed off his talents in "Weekend Night Fanatic", he immediately attracted a large number of fans.
Second, this movie reflects reality and is down-to-earth.
The story of this movie is based on Nick Cohen's novel "The New Tribal Style of Saturday Night". This novel is a work written by the author after a long investigation and deep into life. Therefore, it can be said to be very close to reality and is not a random work.
In the movie, the hero's father is unemployed and has nothing to do with his friends. He spends energy by fighting and picking up girls. He has no idea where the future path is going, and he dares not take any responsibility...
This state of confusion, confusion, poverty and helplessness is the reality of young people at the bottom of Amerika. Their living conditions are like they are performed in a movie.
After the war, the Asian American economy ushered in a wave of development. In the 1950s and 1960s, its annual GDP growth rate was around 6% to 9%. But in the 1970s, its GDP growth rate began to slow down, and the growth rate became 2% and 3%.
Especially from 1974 to 1975, the GDP growth rate was negative for two consecutive years. The economic recession, inflation, and unemployment rate rose from 4.7% in the 1960s to 6.7% in the 1970s, up two percentage points, which means that hundreds of thousands of unemployed people have increased, affecting hundreds of thousands of families and millions of people behind it.
At this time, young people in their teens and twenties enjoyed the benefits of the Golden Age. In other words, they grew up in honeypots. When they grew up, they caught up with the stagnation of the economy, inflation, and quality of life not only did not improve, but instead declined a lot compared to before.
This comparison caused them to be angry, unwilling, confusion and pain. Therefore, when they saw "Weekend Night Fanatic", they felt very immersive.
Moreover, the movie "Weekend Night Fanatic" originates from life and is higher than life, and the final ending is relatively bright. The atmosphere of the whole movie is also quite passionate, fanatical and entertaining. Therefore, although the audience feels substituted when watching this movie, they will not feel as painful as watching a tragedy, but will feel happy, so they are naturally popular.
...
The box office sales of "Weekend Night Mania" further mocked Ye Jin, making his name [Invincible Investment] even louder.
This also made Feituo and Fox Films take the initiative to retreat during negotiations and give up a lot of benefits.
It was originally discussed that Ye Jin's salary was 2 million US dollars, plus 15% of the box office share, and an equity reward worth 10 million US dollars.
But now the salary is $5 million, plus a 25% box office share, and a reward of $30 million worth of equity.
This is undoubtedly a good thing for Ye Jin.
However, he did not agree to such conditions immediately. To be honest, with his current popularity, no matter whether he joins Fox or not, he cannot stop him from getting rich.
Just like Stephen Spielberg, he founded his own DreamWorks and became his own boss. If it weren't for the box office failure of several movies it invested in, DreamWorks would have likely become the seventh largest giant in Hollywood.
Ye Jin almost never had a box office defeat, so it is not too rare for him to grow into a Hollywood giant.
In fact, he has already gained $400 million by investing in movies. As long as he invests in a few more big-selling movies, his market value will exceed Fox, Paramount, Columbia Pictures, etc. in minutes.
At that time, if you have money, it will not be difficult to build your own distribution system.
The Weinstein brothers started from scratch and were able to start Miramax and release independent movies; the richest man of Wang could acquire Amc theaters and become an Asian American theater tycoon. Ye Jin couldn't do it.
So he was not too urgent to take charge of Fox. In comparison, Fox was too eager to join him. Otherwise, if he lost money like this, he would probably close the door in less than two years.
Therefore, Fox Pictures will definitely make concessions. At that time, he may receive higher treatment.
