Chapter 474 Jumping off the roof of the Empire State Building
On the sixth day, domestic theaters received a notice from the Film Bureau of Light and Swelling of the Alien Film and Telepathy, and closed the door immediately for rectification if they were not removed. These theaters have a deep understanding of the usual decisive behavior of Light and Swelling of the Alien Film and Telepathy. Therefore, as soon as the notice came out, the screening rate of "Alien" in China immediately dropped to zero and disappeared without a trace.
"The Battle of Earth" is an official film. After the theaters removed "Alien" from the film industry, in order to leave a good impression on it, of course, according to the previous screening requirements of "The Battle of Earth" to increase the screening rate of "The Battle of Earth" to 70%.
On the sixth day, the domestic box office statistics were released. Due to the increase in screening rate of "The Battle of Earth", the box office on the sixth day rose from 5 million on the fifth day to 14 million, and the box office of "Alien" dropped from 189 million on the fifth day to zero.
"Look at the box office of "Alien" when the film rate is 70%! How much is "The Battle of Earth"? How is Zhu Haibo really embarrassed to cheat food and drink in China?"
"Why do you need to find such a liar who doesn't even have the nationality of China to come? Does he understand Chinese culture?"
"The key is that it has not been able to go out yet. It was removed from the shelves after three days of its release abroad! It's really ridiculous!"
"What is not ridiculous about what I did? Such a good movie as "Alien" finally made Chinese movies go abroad for the first time, but what happened? Not only did a certain bureau not help, but it also cut off the back of "Alien"! This reminded me of Liu Bei's son Liu Chan. When Zhuge Liang and Jiang Wei fought hard in the front, he always cut off their backs! He really can't help A Dou!"
After seeing the box office on the sixth day, netizens couldn't help but scold them on the Internet.
On the sixth day, "The Battle of Earth" continued to disappear in European and American theaters; "Alien" continued to stand out in the European and American markets. A good movie does not require much publicity at all. It can spread far by relying on the reputation of the people you have watched. Zhu Haibo and various pirated merchants used all their thoughts to spread the pirated version of this film. Unfortunately, no matter how they did it, the files on the Internet would be inexplicably damaged.
Any European and American blockbuster will definitely have gun versions flying all over the sky on the sixth and seventh day, and the high-definition version may have been reported, but "Alien" did not, which gave the box office of "Alien" the most powerful guarantee in the European and American markets.
"Alien" has been continuously popular among European and American audiences, and the screening rate naturally increased from 46% on the fifth day to 59% on the sixth day! It once again set the highest screening rate of all films in the European and American markets in the past two years, and also once again set the record of screening rate of Chinese films in European and American theaters!
Every small step taken by "Alien" is a big step for Chinese films in the world film market!
All the film festival organizing committees in Europe and the United States now have to focus on the movie "Alien". It is such a popular movie in European and American theaters and a movie with such an amazing box office growth. If there is no such movie at their award ceremony, their film festival will be questioned whether it is authoritative!
The Cologne Game Exhibition is their past experience. The result of rejecting the "Grand Theft Auto" game exhibition is that this game exhibition that has been running for more than 20 years has officially passed away this year. These film festivals do not want to follow the footsteps of the Cologne Game Exhibition.
Three film festivals have already sent invitations to the crew of "Alien", claiming that their film festival has included "Alien" in the scope of award-winning films. If they are selected, they will be extremely honored to ask the director and starring crew to take time to attend their film festival to participate in the award ceremony.
When the filming of "The Battle of Earth" started, the slogan was to conquer European and American audiences and win big prizes at European and American film festivals. Now they are obviously getting farther and farther away from this goal, but "Alien" is continuing to move forward step by step towards this goal.
The box office of "The Battle of Earth" continued to have no data on the sixth day of the European and American markets, but the box office of "Alien" increased from $123 million on the fifth day to $167 million!
The highest single-week box office record of European and American theaters was 353 million yuan, the second highest record was 325 million yuan, the third highest record was 297 million yuan, and the fourth highest record was 274 million yuan. In six days of "Alien", the single-week box office of European and American theaters has reached 375 million yuan! There is no doubt that it has broken the single-week box office record of European and American theaters!
And "Alien" has one day to break this record!
If it weren't for the fact that European and American theaters had an acceptance of "Alien" at the beginning, and were at an extremely low screening rate in the first three days, but like other European and American blockbusters, they gave high screenings of more than 30% or even 40% as soon as they were released, the record set by "Alien" would be even more terrifying.
However, it may also be that "Alien" was suppressed too badly in the early stage, and a retaliatory rise occurred in the past few days. Of course, the success of anti-pirated version is also the factor that this film can break the single-week record of European and American theaters, or the most important factor.
The harm of piracy to the original industry, especially movies, TV, music, and novels, can almost be described as a catastrophe. Without piracy, European and American audiences can only go to the theater to watch "Alien", which has kept the box office of "Alien" in European and American theaters in recent days.
The pirated version of "Alien" is not successfully released on the Internet, whether it is the gun version or the clear version, which has aroused great curiosity. Some even claimed that this film was "Wang Qian's curse" and that it would never be possible for pirated versions to appear.
There are more and more legends about "Alien" in the world, and it has attracted more viewers to go to the cinema to watch "Alien". After domestic viewers arrived at the cinema, they found that "Alien" was removed from the shelves, which made them extremely angry.
In the past, when games and movies were released in Europe and the United States, the Chinese market was often ignored, which made Chinese people feel a certain kind of discrimination. This time, Chinese movies were finally popular all over the world. As a result... Chinese people were discriminated against by their swelling and chrysanthemums! People all over the world can see "Alien", but Chinese people cannot see it!
So, starting from the seventh day, some very strange phenomena occurred.
For example, to go to Xianggang, Aomen, or a tourism company that can afford tea eggs and fry fried dough sticks without kerosene, it opened a special line for watching "Alien" with a movie ticket included in the fee. If you go to those places to travel, you don't do anything else, go straight to the cinema to watch "Alien" and after watching it, you will return the same way.
In order to watch a movie, I made a special trip. This kind of thing has never happened before, but it happened in this magical land of China.
Of course, there is a reason for this incident. I won’t talk about the inexplicable ban on the swelling and angels. There is no such thing as the pirated version in the theater, and it is impossible to find any pirated versions, which makes the audience who are anxious to watch "Alien" unable to see "Alien". Only this method can see "Alien", and it is an unabridged version.
In order to grab tourism business with Xianggang, Aomen, or an island that can afford tea eggs and fry fried dough sticks without kerosene, some tourist attractions in Malaysia have specially introduced copies of the Mandarin version of "Alien" and were released in theaters near tourist attractions. At the same time, this movie travel route is strongly recommended by the travel company.
They even printed cute alien patterns on the promotional posters of the travel route to declare that their route is related to the "Alien" movie.
For a moment, "Alien" triggered a craze for domestic audiences to travel abroad. According to statistics from the tourism department, outbound travel in the past two days, especially the newly launched "Alien" movie dedicated tour, has become a great growth point, and at least the number of people traveling abroad has increased by about 25%.
This means that among every five Chinese people who go abroad, one of them is only to watch "Alien"!
Forced tens of millions of citizens to go abroad to watch movies, go abroad to consume, and support foreign construction, it is unprecedented! The Chinese culture has not been exported, but many Chinese tourists and Chinese consumption have been exported, which has made great contributions to narrowing the trade deficit with neighboring countries with China.
A video shot by Chinese people did not bring wealth to China, but instead became a tool for neighboring countries to earn wealth to China. It is really unbelievable.
Although Zhu Haibo and Guang's ass used all their thoughts to lock the box office of "Alien" at 429 million yuan in China, "The Earth Defense Station" still did not improve at all. The gap between the two sides in the global box office is getting bigger and bigger. Domestic theaters have also forcibly occupied the theater due to the removal of "The Alien" and "The Earth Defense War" forcibly occupying the theater.
Domestic theater owners, big Weibo Vs, and big celebrities complained and protested on the Internet. Under the strong pressure of public opinion, the Film Bureau of Light and Sour and Swelling had to reduce the screening rate of "The Battle of Earth", which made the goal of "The Battle of Earth" to earn back costs even more distant.
Several major investors from the investors issued an ultimatum to Zhu Haibo. If this situation cannot be changed, they can only take extraordinary measures against him.
Zhu Haibo secretly bought American air tickets and wanted to sneak back to the United States, but was targeted by the secret wardens sent by the investor. The desperate investor tied Zhu Haibo into a small bus and locked him up in an abandoned chemical factory, and tortured him in various ways to pay back the money.
But Zhu Haibo said he was powerless.
The police attacked in time, killing and injuring several desperate investors, and rescued Zhu Haibo, who was dying and had his hands and feet cut off and his nose and eyes dug out.
"Don't save me! Let me jump from the roof of the Empire State Building!" Zhu Haibo kept crying all the way.
Chapter completed!
