Chapter 1,259 I want to see more

March 20th, US time, was the first day that "Heroes" was officially released at the "Forest Cinema". The time was 7 pm, and the first broadcast included a total of 2 movies, but the ticket price was "Oscar Alliance"

Half the price of its movie theaters. This ticket price, and the gimmick created by "Heroes", are definitely a temptation for all viewers who like superpowers, an irresistible temptation.

The direct consequence of this temptation is that for a movie that starts at 7 pm, all the tickets are sold out when the ticket release is just announced at 9 am. Take away all the tickets for 1,028 cinemas for the next three consecutive days.

All were sold out in advance. More viewers came here because of the reputation, but left disappointed, asking for a vote but not getting it. Therefore, for a long time in the United States, scalpers only appeared at the opening ceremonies of a few major events.

Appeared at the premiere of "Hero", holding up the tickets and shouting to sell them.

Movie tickets that originally cost 5 yuan each have been sold to 20 or even 30 US dollars each. Although the ticket price is still not high, the increase has undoubtedly set a record for American movie ticket prices. This has not happened for a long, long time.

It’s such a grand occasion. Audiences actually buy high-priced tickets.

This scene undoubtedly shocked many companies in the "Oscar Alliance". They never thought that "Heroes" would be so popular, so popular that audiences are willing to buy high-priced tickets. Faced with this situation, many reporters naturally

We will not let this news hot spot pass by and interview those who bought tickets one after another.

——Why did you buy a ticket to watch "Heroes"? It's very simple. It was filmed by Spielberg, and there are 23 movies. How exciting to watch it. Especially the ones about superpowers. I like "Superman" and "Batman" the most.

, "Spider-Man", I want to see it this time. Besides, the ticket price is only 5 US dollars, which is too cheap. If it doesn't look good, the loss is not big.

The answers of these viewers are understandable. After all, they mainly come here for the low ticket price of "Heroes", which is quite understandable. But those who buy high ticket prices are difficult to get out of the well. Joseph et al.

People accepted it. As the reporters in charge, they would naturally not let these people go.

——Why buy high-priced tickets? I saw so many people rushing to watch "Hero", so I just bought a ticket and joined in the fun! Anyway, the ticket price of "Forest Cinema Screening Room" promises to remain low.

For a small amount of money, it's like going to see two movies in other cinemas.

Spurting blood! Such an answer undoubtedly made Jing Shenzhizhi, Joseph and others bleed. But they had nothing to rush, they didn't believe that this "Hero" would be so exciting. As long as one of them is not exciting, they will definitely let it

"Hero" is finished! The "gunsmen" under their control can definitely call "Hero" like a "bear", make Spielberg retire, and Lin Feng make him jump.

Lin Feng naturally had no time to take into account the resentment of Ibuka Izuki and others. Taking advantage of the booming ticket sales for the premiere of "Hero", Lin Feng launched an unprecedented package of tickets for the 23 episodes of "Hero" on the first day.

Packages are priced at US$100 each.

Package tickets? His brain is funny, right? What package tickets are sold to watch movies? Real fans are watching his Houston Rockets! Will anyone buy package tickets to watch it?

As a result, what shocked Ibuka and others was that in a short period of time, before 7 p.m., the "Hero" package sold 100,000 copies. In the next 23 days, Lin Feng and Ellison's "Forest"

"The Cinema Screening Room" has steadily received a box office revenue of 10 million US dollars. Although this result is far from comparable to movies such as "Titanic", it is undoubtedly a good sign for the "Forest Cinema Screening Room".

And under such high expectations, the premiere of the joint broadcast of the first and second parts of "Heroes" officially began.

Hum, let me see what is so good about your "Hero". - Ibuka and others also came to the "Forest Cinema Screening Room" Los Angeles flagship cinema, which can accommodate a total of 5,200 people and has a total of 16 screenings

Hall. Among them, the main screening hall can accommodate 1028 people at one time, which is worthy of being the first in the world. Of course, since this main screening hall can accommodate so many viewers, the screen is naturally the largest in the world. Although it is only an ordinary 2D screen, it is also the same as i

The giant screen of -max is comparable to or even larger. The 1,028 viewers can feel the effect of the screen being the entire eyes inside. This technology undoubtedly comes from the "i-max" company owned by Lin Feng.

In terms of screen size, it can be said that the "Forest Cinema Screening Room" is unique in the world. Therefore, in addition to the world's largest main screen, the screens of the other 1,027 "Forest Cinema Screening Rooms" are also ahead of the industry, and are all larger than those of the "Oscar Alliance"

"The cinemas it owns are bigger.

Of course, this is Lin Feng's modest statement. In fact, it is more than twice as big.

Hmph! It’s flashy. - "Twentieth Century Fox" President Joseph said with disdain. What's the use of a big screen? What's important is the film source, the movie, not the size of the screen. No matter how big the screen is, if the movie doesn't look good, it's nothing.

However, Joseph looked sour with the grapes on his face, but there were bursts of exclamations in his ears. For most American viewers, this was the first time they saw such a big screen. It can be said that just on this screen, today

They didn't come in vain.

Huh, a bunch of country bumpkins who have never seen the world! - Ibuka snorted coldly from the side.

Japanese boy, you are talking about us country bumpkins, let me tell you, when I was watching the movie, you were not breastfeeding yet! - The middle-aged audience member who heard Ibuka's muttering said with an unkind look on his face.

Hearing this, Ibuka's face suddenly froze and he wanted to get angry, but thinking about his identity and in this flagship store, it would be extremely embarrassing for him to argue with an audience. Of course, more importantly, this is the place where

"Forest Movie Screening Room" flagship store, today is the premiere of "Hero", Lin Feng will definitely appear. When the time comes, he knows with his butt that Lin Feng will definitely help this audience. Then he will definitely be attracted by Lin

Feng took the opportunity to ridicule him, so he wouldn't do such a stupid thing. Therefore, Ibuka groaned a few times, remained silent, and endured this tone.

The Japanese are so timid and only do sneaky things. The middle-aged American audience looked sarcastic. But after saying that, they stopped thinking about it and concentrated on watching the interviews with the main actors before the premiere.

Get up with the director.

Huh! - Joseph was instinctively stunned when he saw the actors of "Hero" who were being interviewed on the stage. He seemed to know a few of these actors.

"What's the matter, Joseph?" Ibuka asked quickly when he saw Joseph looking thoughtful.

"It's nothing, I just feel like I've seen these actors somewhere before, but I just can't remember them for the moment." Joseph shook his head, with a look of hard thinking on his face.

After the 15-minute interview, the first part of "Hero" finally started.

"Spielberg, it's finally started. I've been looking forward to it for a long time!" Lin Feng was naturally sitting in the cinema. Due to limited time and the fact that he had seen "Heroes" before, Lin Feng only took a few glances.

However, Lin Feng is really looking forward to how different this "Hero", which cost a total of 800 million US dollars, is from the "original work".

From the first second of the screening of "Hero", Lin Feng was attracted. Although the actors were still the same and the scenes were the same as those in Lin Feng's memory, the whole movie would be completely different. If it weren't for the script,

It was given by Lin Feng, and the actors were roughly provided by Lin Feng. I am afraid that this "Hero", Lin Feng really thought it was a new movie made with the original cast. Yes, it is a movie. The whole movie scene is Hollywood style.

It's so perfect that you can't tell it's a TV series, just a movie.

The compact plot, enough handsome guys and beauties, the breathtaking movie rhythm, and a large number of dazzling stunts made it impossible for the producer Lin Feng to believe that this would be a TV series instead of a feature-length movie.

.

"Lin, what do you think? Your 800 million U.S. dollars were not wasted, right?" Spielberg said confidently. He spent a record 800 million U.S. dollars on Lin Feng for this "Hero", but he has always been uneasy. Although he was worried about it

He is extremely confident, but before the official release, he is always a little worried. In particular, he is worried that Lin Feng will not be able to recoup the cost. After all, for a businessman, the most important thing is to make money, and a TV series costs 800 million US dollars.

Can you make money back by relying on advertising revenue?

Originally, Spielberg was still worried about how Lin Feng would make money, but Lin Feng proposed to play it in movie theaters. Although the ticket price was extremely cheap, only 5 US dollars, it was enough. Lin Feng owned 1,028 movie theaters with a total of 8,000 movie screens.

, with 2.4 million seats and a ticket price of US$5 per seat. If a movie is shown once, it will have a box office revenue of US$12 million based on the full house. And based on Hollywood’s average showing of about 15 days, a movie must be played at least every day

3 shows, and based on Spielberg's estimated average attendance of 60%, "Heroes" will have a box office revenue of US$320 million.

A movie can have a box office revenue of 320 million U.S. dollars. Although it is not enough to beat movies such as "Lord of the Rings 3" and "Pirates of the Caribbean", it is already a pretty good box office revenue. But it is not really surprising. It is not

What Spielberg is looking forward to. What Spielberg is looking forward to is that there will be a total of 23 "Heroes". If each film can have an average box office revenue of about 200 million US dollars, then one "Hero" can bring Lin Feng a lot of success.

The revenue is US$4.6 billion, which is fully 6 times of Lam Feng’s investment cost.

Of course, all these are just the ideal figures estimated by Spielberg. In fact, this also needs to deduct the loss of audiences caused by many other factors, such as money problems, not being able to watch movies; such as suddenly not wanting to watch, such as because

I don’t have time to watch it because of work, but Spielberg conservatively estimates that the box office of a movie "Heroes" can exceed 100 million U.S. dollars at worst, and it can earn at least 2.3 billion U.S. dollars. This is far more than the investment in any TV series.

The rewards are great. Of course, now "Hero" is not a TV series, but a movie.

Now, Spielberg is looking forward to what heights "Heroes" can reach and whether it can create miracles.

But at this time, the exclamations and bursts of exclamations from all the audience at the scene have proved that "Hero" is an extremely successful "movie".

People with super powers have always been a favorite of American audiences. In this "Heroes", the super powers they have surpass all the super powers in all previous movies. Not only does it have a flying "Superman",

There are people with super powers who can predict the future, there are people with super powers who can pause time and shift time and space, there are people with super powers who can copy other abilities, people with super powers who can heal themselves...etc., let all

The audience was completely hooked once and for all. In particular, the entire stunt scene was extremely outstanding. Although it is not the pinnacle of stunts in Hollywood movies, it is definitely above the standard.

What fascinates the audience even more is that all the superpowers in it are ordinary people like them. They have seven emotions and six desires. After they have superpowers, they don't think about how to save the world, but have their own unique characteristics.

Some thoughts. Some don’t want to be known, some want to unify the world, some want to be used by others, some don’t care, etc. This gives all audiences a completely different feeling from watching this kind of superpower movie before.

.

The only feeling for all the viewers is that it is real. It is as if these people are living among them.

The first two parts of "Heroes" have finally been released. Since this is the result of Spielberg's compressed adaptation of the first two seasons of the TV series, each "Heroes" has a running time of 80 minutes, and the two parts add up to 160 minutes. When two

After watching the movie, when the lights of the theater were turned on, most of the audience had not yet recovered from the plot of "Hero".

After a while, crazy applause broke out.

"Hero! Hero! Hero!" All the audience shouted the word "hero", not knowing whether they were shouting for the movie "Hero" or shouting for the people on the screen who filmed this "Hero" and brought them such a wonderful movie.

heroes.

"It's great, this is the best movie I've seen this year!" An audience member stood up and shouted loudly.

"Yes, it's really great!" The rest of the audience also stood up and applauded as hard as they could.

No way, they have been attracted by the stories of "ordinary heroes" with super powers in "Heroes", especially by the gripping plot, which is really exciting.

Ibuka Ibuka and Joseph couldn't help but stood up. Although they clapped, their faces were obviously livid. They really didn't expect that this "Hero" would be so exciting and actually made them addicted to it. Up to this moment

, they just came back to their senses. The first two parts were so exciting, so wouldn’t the next 21 parts be even more exciting? Because the story has just begun!

Thinking of this, the two people's faces darkened. If this is true, then it seems that they were wrong to break the contract in spite of the world's disapproval. You know, such a wonderful movie, even if Lin Feng plays one a week

, it is enough to be released for 23 weeks, which is close to half a year. After half a year, Lin Feng's film company will be able to launch a new movie.

Of course, it is definitely impossible to only show one movie a week. Therefore, Lin Feng chose to show a "Hero" a day, but even so, it is enough to last for 23 days. And during these 23 days, I am afraid that the United States will be "Hero"

》world.

Damn it, where did he find such a good script? Also, isn't he afraid of losing money by investing in 23 movies at once? - Joseph and Ibuka cursed secretly. You know, they dare to spend 800 million US dollars at a time

The courage to invest in a movie, and it is such a long-form one, is unprecedented.
To be continued...
