Chapter 215 Peter Parker Shaking
"The movie "Blade Warrior" was the target audience of the producer Xinyi Film Company at the beginning, and it was just a vampire action film with a few comic fans as its target market. However, judging from the box office of the first weekend, it unexpectedly gained great popularity."
"Blood American Hong Kong Kung Fu Wesley Snipes, the black hero, has a combination of multiple factors, which makes "Blade Warrior" full of strange charm!"
"After the first day of its release, the film received $13 million, and on Saturday and Sunday, it closed again at $19 million in North America's box office, with a total of more than $32 million in box office in the first weekend."
"Here, we want to congratulate Xinyi Films! It will definitely make a big profit with a $45 million investment."
"At the same time, this film is also the first successful superhero-themed movie after the failure of "Batman". It only wants a piece of gold, which is of milestone significance!"
"Superhero movies have a lot to do!"
This report, which is more than 500 words, comes from the report of "Time Magazine Entertainment Edition".
The author of his article is very optimistic about the prospects of "Blade Warrior", but he is also suspected of advertising.
In fact, it's just advertising!
Because Xinyi Film, the producer of "Blade Warrior", is one of the subsidiaries of Time Warner. Xinyi Film, which is backed by Time Warner Group, one of the six major Hollywood stars, has no worries about film promotion and distribution.
This is also why many second-tier and third-tier film companies are willing to accept the inclusion of large companies.
It's all because of money!
More than 50 media outlets, including Los Angeles Morning Post, California Entertainment News, Boston Evening News, Global Times, etc., have targeted reports on the outstanding performance of the Refining Fighters.
Even many media outlets far away in Xiangjiang praised the Blade Warriors!
Type big titles!
"Kung Fu shocked America!"
"Kung Fu is famous overseas!"
Why?
Because the setting style of action fighting in "Blade Warrior" is that it uses Xiangjiang Kung Fu, and the Xiangjiang Action Team personally participated in the production.
The Hong Kong Kung Fu, which has a very pleasing style, is very different from the traditional American action style of Hollywood. In Hollywood in 1998, it attracted the attention of moviegoers.
"Charlie's Angels", "The Matrix", "The Wanted Warrant of the Universe" and other films will also adopt the "kung fu" fighting style in the next few years...
And according to the historical progress of the original time and space, "Rush Hour" played by Jackie Chan, released in September, won a box office of US$141 million in one fell swoop, shocking Hollywood.
Its box office results ranked 7th in the North American annual box office rankings in 1998.
This also directly leads to the popularity of "kung fu" in the United States in the next few years!
However!
The "Kung Fu" element is ultimately imported and not local in the United States. However, in just a few years, when the freshness passes, the glory will disappear.

Warner Pictures.
Executive President Joe Hunter Williams put down the report in his hand and couldn't help but raise his lips slightly.
"Mr. Williams, it seems that the outstanding performance of "Blade Warrior" will make you feel good!" Assistant Adieo smiled.
"certainly."
Executive President Joe Hunter Williams nodded: "After all, Xinyi Film is a subsidiary of our Warner. If it makes money, it means that our group makes money. At the same time, the ability of "Blade Warrior" to be a big seller also means that our Warner DC superheroes can be on the big screen again. How can I not be excited?!"
Assistant Adieo immediately laughed.
The Blade Warrior, which emerged from nowhere, does have a milestone special significance!
It gave superhero-themed movies and injected a strong injection!
...........
Thanks to the hot performance of "Blade Warrior", the stock price of Marvel Comics also rose three times in a row, bringing Marvel, which is still on the abyss.
Investors are a bit optimistic about the future development of Marvel.
However, Marvel, as the comic producer, was not very happy.
"Blade Warrior" is making money, but it is New Line Film, which makes money, and Marvel only enjoys a very small part of the final revenue of the film.
In fact, in the original time and space, the performance of "Blade Warrior" made Xinyi Film make nearly $100 million in online and offline markets. However, Marvel only got a mere $15,000.
The gap is so huge!
Can Marvel be balanced?
Balancing it!
"Damn New Line Film, we sold the copyright only $250,000!" Marvel executives were all desperate.
However, this is just the beginning...
On Monday, eight Hollywood film companies came to seek the film and television rights of Marvel Comics.
"Man, sell Spider-Man to our company."
"What? Spider-Man has been sold?!"
"You can always sell the Hulk Iron Man X-Men. If it really doesn't work, we can cooperate and complete it together."
"I'll go!"
"Spider-Man Hulk X-Men......You've sold all the copyrights of these popular heroes!!!"
The representatives of the 8 film companies who visited were collectively stunned!
Representatives of the eight film companies who were unwilling to accept the ownership of the superhero copyright owners who had been sold by Marvel, and also wanted to follow the post of "Blade Warrior".
20th Century Fox;
Wald Pictures;
The names of these two film companies suddenly came into view of major Hollywood film companies.
As one of the six major Hollywood giants, 20th Century Fox will not be there yet.
However, Wald Pictures, which has only become famous in recent years, actually holds the popular copyrights of dozens of superheroes such as Spider-Man Venom Hulk Black Widow. Isn't it that they are not afraid?
"O my god, Wald Pictures is so cruel?!"
"Damn it!"
"The copyrights of the popular superheroes of Marvel have been taken down by both of them. Although Marvel still has many superhero copyrights, they are not famous for their use!"
"It's gone, it's gone!"
"That's it! Let's not think about 20th Century Fox. Maybe we can think of ways from the Wald Pictures."
"Bad! That guy Juke Wald is a ruthless character who is famous for eating nothing and not leaving anything. You can take the copyright from him unless Satan becomes God!"
The representatives of major Hollywood film companies were so angry that they gritted their teeth.
There were even a few guys who didn't believe in evil and went to Wald Pictures. After a few words, they were pushed back and were covered in dust.
Marvel was so angry that she stomped her feet!
At this point, Wald Pictures President Bill McNick held a press conference to officially announce that "Spider-Man" has entered the preparation period.
Shocking Hollywood!
"Spider-Man" was not favored by investors at first, but in a short period of time, it has evolved into a popular investment project.
Pump Parker shook!
Chapter completed!
