Chapter 1175 You are so heartless, mother

"It's definitely not a chance this time. Mom has warned me, don't bother Simon anymore... Yes, I'll fly to London tomorrow, Mom will accompany me, and borrowed a private jet and a penthouse duplex apartment by the Thames River in London from Simon. I can still take the Burberry show, envy... So, Ini, you have to work hard..."

"What's wrong with "Ghost Records"... Is there any problem with 9.57 million on the first day... Wow, it's so amazing... It's a pity that I don't have time to watch it in North America. During the day, my mother will take me to talk about a cover, and at night there will be a CK show. I will be in Europe for the next month, so I can only watch it with my mother... Humph, yes, I'm just showing off. I plan to be a professional model and can shoot movies and produce records in the future. Even if I retire, I can still be a host or producer like my mother. Who makes me have two great dads..."

"What's wrong with all fickleness? Let me tell you, there are only two types of men in this world, those who are capable of fickleness, and those who are not capable of fickleness... Gay, does Gay have a conflict with fickleness? It's just that their fickleness is a man... You said first... Well, my mother called me for breakfast, so I'll have to hang up first, beg me."

Inside a large flat apartment in Greenwich Village.

Saturday morning.

Elizabeth Jagger hung up Ivanka's phone, took off the towel wrapped around his head, hurriedly changed his bathrobe and ran to open the door.

Jerry Hall happened to be standing at the door and was about to raise his hand to knock again. When he saw his daughter open the door, he knocked on her forehead: "Go to breakfast with me quickly. You can't be late for the meeting at 10 o'clock. You have to take care of it for you to leave a good impression on Helen. She has worked in "Cosmopolitan" for 32 years. Although she is about to retire, she has a very deep connection in the fashion industry. In the future, she will say a few good words to you at some gatherings, and you can gain a foothold in the circle."

Elizabeth held her mother intimately and walked out, saying a little dissatisfied: "We have Simon. Even if we don't have a good impression, those people in the fashion circle will treat me like a princess."

Jerry Hall acted again and knocked on his daughter's forehead: "Simon can't help you with everything. He just built a ladder. How high he climbs in the future depends on you."

"It sounds so tired."

"If those little girls with no background hear you complain like this, they will probably be so jealous that they will strangle you to death."

Elizabeth grinned, "Mom, you are jealous, right?"

Jerry Hall was the kind of American farm girl who had no background back then, and she has been here step by step.

Seeing his daughter say this, Jerry Hall gave the girl a blank look: "Yes, I regret giving birth to you."

The mother and daughter came to the restaurant as they said, and Elizabeth greeted her younger brother James, who was one year younger than her, and sat next to Gloria, a young sister who was over five years old. While waiting for the waitress to help share the meal, she remembered what happened when she was talking to Ivanka: "Mom, "The Ghost Record" was a big box office. Ini just said, well, it was more than nine million on the first day, which is 30 times the cost of 300,000 US dollars."

Jerry Hall ate his own fruit salad and nodded after hearing this: "I know, I've read the newspaper."

Elizabeth thought about it and sighed again: "I'm going to have a scholar for $2,000. If I want to make 9 million, I need to, well... I'm probably not enough for a lifetime. It seems that I have to try to be a movie star, but it's wrong. I have to be a producer and invest in making movies by myself."

Jerry Hall lets his daughter go wild and disperse, and he will not comment.

Producers, etc. are not that easy.

Before breakfast, she saw the first day data of "Ghost Record" in the newspaper, and she also found it incredible.

The cost of $300,000 is conservatively estimated to be 150 million yuan only in North America, with a 500-fold return on the box office cost, which is higher than the "Six Heroes of Light Pigs" that has been very popular during this period. Daenerys Entertainment is simply picking up money at will.

However, if you take a little bit of a look, you will understand that this achievement is not as easy as ordinary people think.

In Hollywood, the seven major studios, even the other six other than Daenerys, it is definitely not an easy thing to hype a movie to the point where it is popular in just two weeks at a very low promotion and distribution cost. For example, the other six most obvious shortcomings are lacking in the Internet platform.

Furthermore, even if the popularity of "Ghost Record" before the release of no cost is made, everything will return to the movie itself.

If the quality of the movie is not sufficiently outstanding, with the maturity of the North American film market, the audience will not be abusive to bad movies at all. As a result, the more investment is, the more losses will be.

In the final analysis, it was a man who magically selected and produced "Ghost Records", just like the other party also chose "Six Heroes of Light Pigs" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". This is the biggest advantage of Daenerys Entertainment. However, then again, having good movies and lacking resources is also useless.

Daenerys Entertainment now has everything.

Elizabeth fantasized about it, and saw that her mother didn't say anything, she said, "Mom, when we arrive in London, can we also go and see that movie?"

Jerry Hall was curious about "The Ghost Record" and did not consider whether it was released in the UK. He nodded casually and said, "Okay."

"And, Simon's side..."

Before his daughter finished speaking, Jerry Hall had interrupted and put down the knife and fork to temporarily stop eating. He looked at Elizabeth with a serious expression: "Remind you again, Leeds, don't bother Simon too much, he will be disgusted."

"No, Simon is so kind."

"A good-natured person will lose patience, you will have no room for recovery," said Jerry Hall, pointing to the dining table: "At that time, Helen and the others will leave. Without the maid team, you can only make breakfast by yourself every day, and there will be no private jets to take you around. If you want to be a supermodel, you can only try to get opportunities by yourself, and maybe you have to sleep with some brand owners."

Elizabeth listened to her mother's depicting some horror scenes and widened her eyes slightly: "Mom, we should be quite rich now, right?"

“That’s my pension.”

"Even without Helen and others, we can afford to hire ordinary servants, right?"

"Yes, it's just my servant."

"Well, mom, you are so heartless."

"There are even more heartless things. If you annoy Simon and make us lose everything, I can only use you as a money tree like Brooke Xiaosi's mother."

"Mom, I'll confirm it, this is a joke, right?"

Jerry Hall looked serious: "No, this is a very serious warning."

Elizabeth was really scared and raised her hand: "Okay, mom, I was wrong."

When the mother and daughter casually skipped the topic of "Seriousness" by "The Ghost Record", the North American film and television circles had exploded again because this ultra-low-cost movie with a production cost of only $300,000.

Based on the momentum of the film in the previous two weeks, everyone understood that this new type of film that suddenly emerged would sell well, but no one expected that the box office of "The Ghost Record" would be so good.

You know, this is the unpopular end-September schedule of the year, second only to January and February every year!

Not to mention the box office of 9.57 million US dollars a day, in such a month, even if a movie can earn 9.57 million per week, it can be considered a very good result. What's more, "The Ghost Record" is an ultra-low-cost movie with a production cost of only 300,000 US dollars. Before the film was released, the quality of the picture was too rough and caused a controversy over whether this movie should be classified as a movie.

Now, the first day of 9.57 million means that the film will reach $40 million to $50 million in the first week, while the complete North American box office, due to the lack of competitors in September and the phenomenon of this small film, conservatively estimated, can also reach $150 million.

500 times the box office return ratio.

It was shocking.

Referring to the same period, the comparison will only be stronger.

Previously, there were four new films in the North American film market. Not to mention the other two marginal films with less than 500 screens, there are only two core films, "Ghost Records" produced by New World Pictures, a subsidiary of Daenerys Entertainment, and "Doomsday Warning" produced by DreamWorks and independently released.

The former costs $300,000 in production, while the latter costs $50 million in budget.

"Doom Warning", produced by Steven Spielberg and starring Hollywood actor George Clooney, is based on a best-selling novel and tells a story of a popular or clichéd nuclear weapon theft in recent years.

Compared with the excellent media score of 8.3 points before the release of "Ghost Record", "Doomsday Warning" has lost its reputation first, with a comprehensive media score of only 4.3 points.

This is obviously the main reason why DreamWorks did not place the video in the popular summer season.

Whether the film is good or not is often confirmed by some internal trials before it is released, especially commercial films, so distribution strategies will also be formulated based on internal reputation.

However, after all, $50 million was invested to reach the bombshell level, and the number of screens of "Doomsday Warning" opened reached 2,363 yuan, which is significantly higher than the 2,045 yuan of "Ghost Record".

The two films were released at the same time, and in the end, the box office comparison on the first day was strong.

"The Legend of the Ghost" earned $9.57 million in just one day. If nothing unexpected happens, the average sales level of the museum exceeds 10,000 in two days. Look at "Doomsday Warning" again. On the first day of the painting, the box office revenue was only $3.05 million, which was less than one-third of the "The Legend of the Ghost".

300,000 vs 50 million.

More than 160 times the cost gap.

The box office result was 9.57 million versus 3.05 million.

Such a strong contrast even gives people a sense of inreality.

With the first-day level of "Doom Warning", the box office in the first week will not exceed $15 million at most, and the local box office will be about $40 million.

The total local box office of 40 million may be less than the weekly income of "Ghost Record".

However, if you want to put it carefully, the local $40 million of "Doom Warning" may be within DreamWorks' expectations, otherwise it would not have been in the unpopular end-9 period.

The problem is obvious.

Or is "The Ghost Record" too powerful, so strong that everyone is at a loss for a moment.

You should know that inside and outside Hollywood, not talking about further away, not talking about the super bombshells that are gradually mature, but this year, Kung Fu movies have been selling well. Everyone has pursued and studied, and thinks they have found a way and are trying to copy Jet Lee's "Hurricane Rescue", but they have also jumped out of a freak like "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

Then, Cannes was upset with a £2 million drama, which broke the British box office record of 15+ types in a blink of an eye.

Everyone began to pursue and study realistic films from the UK and even the United States again.

This time, "The Legend of Ghosts" was released again.

It's simply dazzling.

Caught off guard.

Moreover, compared with "Hurricane Rescue", "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and even "The Six Heroes of Light Pig", the scrutiny gaze attracted by "The Record of Ghosts" can be said to be a geometric increase.

Because this movie is so easy to follow the trend compared to other ones.

As long as you watch this movie, it is not difficult to find that the cost of $300,000 is obviously due to the investment of a large studio like Daenerys. The cost is inevitably increased too much. In fact, one iRec, two or three actors, without the burden of a large factory like Daenerys, is not impossible to get it done for a few thousand dollars.

This means that from Hollywood studios to the lowest-level film newcomers who are experiencing Hollywood dreams, they all have the opportunity to try it.

Because only one iRec is needed.

The threshold is unimaginable.

Moreover, even if it is far inferior to "Ghost Record", even if it is only one tenth or even one percent, it will be enough for too many people to try one after another.

If you follow the trend successfully and make a big fuss, it will definitely be a huge profit, get rich overnight, and become famous in one fell swoop.

Arrived at the peak of life in minutes.

So, on Saturday, with countless media reporting on the box office of "Ghost Record", countless people in the United States, states and places, entered the theater with the attitude of learning and following the trend. At the same time, more media sent their most powerful reporters to the theater to watch the movie again in order to closely follow the hot spots.

Just to explore the success code of this box office dark horse whose first-day box office revenue is only 300,000 US dollars, which is more than 30 times the cost.

The film's topic has increased again compared to before its release, which has also attracted more viewers to buy tickets, so that during Saturday, there were rare queuing up to buy tickets in some areas.

The New World Film team was not in a hurry to promote the overseas promotion of "Ghost Records", including basically opening the Hollywood movie portal that can achieve synchronous British market as long as you want to do it. Therefore, Hall and his daughter discussed privately watching the movie in the UK, but they actually couldn't see it.

Now, when the film's first-day box office in North America was released, publishers and theater vendors from all over the world have contacted Daenerys Entertainment.

Everyone is really anxious.

Such a film, such influence is definitely the best way to strike while the iron is hot.

On the other hand, most overseas countries and regions are also in a state of unpopularity. After the summer vacation, the market will inevitably be weak. The attendance rate of theaters can be imagined. At this time, of course, I look forward to a phenomenal big-selling movie to stimulate the audience.

Daenerys Entertainment did not take it seriously and began to quickly promote overseas issuance according to previous share sharing practices.

The main reason is that the schedule is limited.

If it is delayed until the end of the year, the overseas box office of "Ghost Records" will definitely be much higher, but it will inevitably squeeze out the resources of the end of the year film, which is not worth the loss.

By making a decision, Daenerys Entertainment's strong global distribution network and efficient execution were quickly demonstrated.
