Vol 2 Chapter 2678: The underestimated "Avatar"
Xiao Qi originally had two wives, Tang Mingxiang and Little Taylor in the United States. After spending a few days with them, Du Feixing's scene was finished, and it happened that Xiao Qi took her for a stroll in New York again.
Du Feixing's personality is rather cold, even when shopping with Xiao Qi, he rarely enters the famous brand luxury store, just look at the scenery everywhere.
If this matter was changed to Song Jiejie, the little fox, he would definitely not have to take up the hands of the female bodyguards without a shopping bag, and would definitely not give up.
Xiao Qi liked this elegant female star very much in her previous life, and now she has become her own woman, which is even more affectionate.
Although Du Fei didn't want anything by herself, Xiao Qi bought a few sets of jewelry suitable for her and gave it to her sweet wife.
I won't say how much money is spent, mainly because this intention made Du Fei apricot sweet in his heart, and even worked hard to welcome her husband in the evening. On the other hand, of course, it was also to conceive the baby early.
Du Feixing's personality is cold, but it doesn't mean that she doesn't like children.
She had seen Qiao Guo'er holding her daughter's happy appearance. At that time, she was deeply shocked. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that she could have a few children for her beloved man, that would be a happy thing. what!
Now her wish to make a movie in Hollywood has been fulfilled, and she has already had no worries about food and clothing. She no longer has to worry about the struggles of the film and television industry, and naturally she wants to be a mother with all her heart.
Because Xiao Qi wanted to live in an apartment, Megan had gone to another house of hers a long time ago. Anyway, her New York has seven or eight houses, which are very spacious everywhere.
As a result, that night, when Xiao Qi came back with Du Fei Xing and held his wife for a while when the door was closed, he heard a woman coughing a few times.
Du Fei Xing turned his head in amazement, and saw Megan sitting on the sofa where the lights were turned on. She felt ashamed, and quickly slid back to the room, tidying up her clothes that had been messed up by Xiao Qi.
Hear the sound. Xiao Qi was not nervous. When he and Du Feixing went out, there were still two female bodyguards living in the house next to them, if someone else entered this room. They must have taken care of it a long time ago.
People who can make them feel that they don't need to report are of course acquaintances, and they are acquaintances who have a good relationship.
"I said, Miss, what are you doing here if you have nothing to do? You can't make a phone call first if you have something?" Xiao Qi sat opposite Megan, complaining a little bit.
"Yes. I borrowed a house for your little lovers, but I complained." Megan grinned, "You said you are not a little man anymore, why are you so irritable? You just got **** before you close the door. Haven't had enough affection these days?"
"Ahem, is your lady okay at all?" Xiao Qi couldn't help her, "Let's talk about it, what do you want? Let's talk about it first, and don't talk about it if you ask for money!"
Megan was bitter, "You bastard! You didn't give me the money for nothing. Is this an investment? It's like I'm spending the money to squander it!"
Xiao Qi muttered in his heart, isn't your eldest lady just squandering? The total investment of 70-80 million US dollars is enough to make a blockbuster film, but you only made a literary film. How many people who don't care about money can do it?
But on the surface, he wouldn’t say that, “Hehe, it’s not like adding money to make it! Megan, as long as you don’t waste that money and shoot a few literary films every year, we can do it!”
"Huh. Don't say it so nicely. When I come to you for money, you don't have to be so twitchy." Megan snorted coldly, "I'm here today. Someone wants to make peace. You meet to talk and ask if you have time."
"Who?"
"Cameron."
Xiao Qi was taken aback, "What did he do with me...Oh!"
Xiao Qi remembered halfway through it, and a few days later, it will be when Cameron’s super giant "Avatar", which he has sharpened his sword for ten years, is released.
I don't know if I want to take the good omen that "Titanic" was first released in Japan last time. This time it is not the first time that the United States opened the painting. Instead, it was first opened in the United Kingdom on December 10, and then the 15th in the UAE, but in fact, the world's unified screenings are still based on the 16th in the United States.
During this time period, he came to Xiao Qi, mostly because of the number of screens in "Avatar".
In his previous life, when Cameron showed his elaborate "Avatar" to the seniors of various theaters for a trial screening, he received a "fair" evaluation, which made Cameron really depressed home.
Therefore, in the first week of its release in the United States, there was only 83 million US dollars at the box office, not even 100 million US dollars!
This is still the case when there are a large number of IMAX and 3D screens in the United States, and the ticket price is much higher than the general 2D!
With the addition of the global box office, it is only 100 million. Why does this make Cameron who dominate the world with "Titanic" so embarrassing?
Just when countless people thought that Cameron, who hadn't produced any new works for almost ten years, was about to be planted, Kashen proved that he was still Kashen and the king of the world's movies.
In the second week, the US released more than 82 million U.S. dollars at the box office.
In the third week, the US released more than 86 million U.S. dollars at the box office.
the fourth week……
fifth week……
Europe, Japan, South Korea, China, India, South America...
"Avatar" broke the box office record time and time again, and the release period generally lasted more than two months, so that all opponents were dumbfounded and bowed down.
It was not until that time that Cameron really solidified his title of "King of the Movie World". From then on, as long as the movies he makes, no one else needs to watch them, they will know that they will be sold out. !
However, there are still a few months before Cameron's position is completely stabilized. Cameron must have received a "average" evaluation. He is troubled by the insufficient number of movie theaters.
"He is here to run the relationship, for the kiwifruit theater in the hands of your little lover." Megan said, "The United States, Europe, and China are three super large ticket warehouses, and now Europe only gives When "Avatar" has more than 1,800 theaters and the United States has only given more than 3,400 theaters, how can he be stable? Even if it is fully supported by China, it still has to be done in Europe and the United States!"
Different from the previous life, when Cameron came to the capital to discuss the joint promotion of 3D technology and IMAX technology with Qiao Guoer, he had already discussed with the Kiwi cinema line that "Avatar" will land in China on December 16. Let China, together with the United States, France, Germany, etc., become the third group of countries to be released in the world.
Not only kiwis joined in, the rest of the Chinese theaters also gave a lot of support because of Cameron's name.
At present, there are more than 2,300 cinemas in Huaguo that are ready to open together, and the kiwi cinema line has more than 600 cinemas, more than 2,000 screens, of which more than 500 3D and IMAX screens.
This has already accounted for 70% of Huaguo's filming volume. Cameron is very satisfied, and he patted his chest and said to Huaguo's cinema businessmen that it will definitely make them a lot of money.
Even the Chinese market has been settled. Originally, he thought that in Europe and the United States, his base camp, there should be no problems. As a result, the theater businessmen in the United States and Europe did not have much confidence in him, and only gave him 5300. With multiple theaters showing, this number appears to be very small.
In Cameron, I thought that I should be sweeping the world with the largest amount of film!
So, after much deliberation, Cameron thought of Xiao Qi, who had a little friendship with him.
Don't think the proprietress of the kiwi movie theater line is Qiao Guoer, but Cameron knows that as long as Xiao Qi speaks, Qiao Guoer will definitely obey.
"Cameron's talent is beyond doubt." Seeing Xiao Qi not speaking, Megan said: "Even if this "Avatar" does not meet expectations, as long as you have a good relationship with him, then you will find him to shoot two or three movies in the future. Commercial films have earned everything back! As long as Cameron finds the rhythm of the market, then everything is not a problem."
"Do you think... "Avatar" didn't find the rhythm of the market?" Xiao Qi looked at her and said.
"Well, I took a look at the trial screening, although the 3D version looks very shocking, but that's it. There is nothing particularly remarkable, and the plot is also very weak." Megan commented.
"I forgot that you are a fan of literary and artistic films, and it's useless to tell you this." Xiao Qi laughed blankly. "Megan, you so-called industry experts can't represent the opinions of the audience at all. Cameron has worked hard for ten years. One sword, once returned, the king must come! I am very optimistic about his "Avatar", the box office surpassed "Titanic" to reach the height of 2 billion US dollars, there is no problem at all."
Megan frowned, "Xiao Qi, aren't you telling the truth? Just "Avatar"? Still surpassing "Titanic"?"
"Forget it if you don't believe me, let's bet." Xiao Qi smiled and said: "If the global box office of "Avatar" does not reach 2 billion U.S. dollars, I will invest you in 10 movies you like, with a total investment of no less than 500 million U.S. dollars. If "Avatar" reaches 2 billion U.S. dollars, how about you give me the heroines of 2 movies and the supporting actresses of 5 movies?"
Megan's eyes kept turning~www.wuxiaspot.com~ seemed very tempting, but she was afraid that Xiao Qi's predictive ability was amazing, so she was fooled.
"You just said too much, I can only promise one heroine in a Hollywood movie, the first supporting actress in three movies."
"Ok."
"And if the funds are not enough, you still have to invest."
"can."
"Well, 2 billion U.S. dollars doesn't count, how about 2.5 billion U.S. dollars?"
"no problem."
After such a conversation, Megan became more and more vigilant in his heart. This guy promised to be so refreshed. Did I really read "Avatar" wrong? (To be continued.)
PS: Happy New Year's Day, all of us! By the way, please vote for more monthly votes! Speaking of it, Cameron has been underestimated, the Titanic is like this, so is Avatar. Recently, a new episode of Star Wars came out, and someone asked him if the pressure on Avatar 2 was great. It seems that Cameron is also a person who has made great achievements along the way!
