In Li Mu's view, even the navy army when the Internet was most developed in the previous life was not as powerful as Zhao Kang's navy team.
Zhao Kang's team is like an unprecedented regular army in the naval field. Unlike other naval forces that fight guerrillas on a small scale, his navy has become a force specialized in dealing with large-scale attacks through systematic training and a large amount of financial support. A group army that operates in a large-scale group operation is so powerful that even in a previous life it would be able to defeat invincible opponents in the world. Therefore, at this stage, using such a navy army in the Internet field is simply equivalent to using a nuclear bomb.
There are more than one souls who have been subverted by the navy's nuclear attack. From the earliest Xiling Coal Mine Director Guo Lin, to the entire "The Last Samurai" creative team, and the super capital behind it, every time Li Mu uses the navy on a large scale, there will be Dealing a devastating blow to the target.
Fortunately, Li Mu still has some conscience this time, and he destroyed Harvey without any preparation. Otherwise, he would get some dirty information about him and give it to the navy. From tomorrow on, this man will be like a rat crossing the streets in North America, and everyone will beat him up, and everyone in Hollywood will be beaten. Man, in front of the global Internet giants, we are as fragile as human beings in front of the singer’s civilization.
When Zhao Kang's navy was working hard to prepare copywriting and plans, preparing to use Harvey to push a wave of "Zombie-Master", Yanjing time had already reached six o'clock in the morning, which was exactly six o'clock in the afternoon in Washington, D.C., North America. Muying's ticketing system has opened up ticket purchasing rights for theaters the next day. Those viewers who did not buy tickets for the same day have been waiting for tomorrow's show to be ticketed. Therefore, as soon as the time window opened, a large number of users poured into Muying's ticketing system. What followed was a flurry of transaction orders...
At 7:15 a.m. China time, Eastern Time starts broadcasting.
The first half of the program was used to quickly summarize recent domestic and foreign news, and then the entire second half of the program was used to report on the unprecedented feat of "Zombie-Master" with a box office of $18.5 million on its first day in North America. The success of the film in North America was greatly appreciated, and it was very clear that this would be the pinnacle of Chinese-language films and the export of Chinese entertainment and cultural industries to overseas.
The program's news about this movie had just come to an end. At 7:55, the host of Eastern Time and Space suddenly couldn't restrain his excitement and said: "Dear viewers, we have just received the latest news. Two hours ago, The second day of movie ticket sales for "Mr. Zombie" in North America has officially started. As of now, the total box office pre-sales on the second day have exceeded 20 million US dollars! This 1985 Hong Kong old movie was released on the first day in North America. The box office was 18.5 million US dollars, and the box office was 20 million US dollars the next day. This is a miracle for a Chinese-language movie!"
The Chinese audience in front of the TV was simply stunned. It had only been released for two days, and the box office was almost 40 million US dollars? Isn't this too perverted? !
The host was obviously a little too excited at this time. After hearing the reminder, he blurted out particularly excitedly: "Sorry, viewers, our director just reminded me that strictly speaking, "Mr. Zombie" is The movie's second-day box office in the United States was not only 20 million, but two hours after the box office opened on the second day, pre-sales had already exceeded 20 million. However, the entire North American theater chain gave "Zombie" 20 million in box office sales on the second day. "Mr. Zombie" has a staggering 33 million U.S. dollars. In other words, we are likely to witness an even greater miracle in the next twenty or so hours. Perhaps "Mr. Zombie" will be the second-day box office hit in North America. Able to break through 30 million US dollars!”
"Oh My God!"
There were countless viewers in front of the TV who exclaimed in unison.
According to the current exchange rate, 30 million U.S. dollars is almost 250 million yuan!
What kind of business tycoon is Li Mu, who can sell "Mr. Zombie" for 250 million yuan in box office in one day? This answer sheet was so hard that the teacher who wrote the question couldn't believe it. The answer sheet was full of super-conventional gameplay, which was unbelievable.
At this moment, many bigwigs in the Hong Kong film industry are so jealous that they are almost bleeding!
Hong Kong movies have wanted to enter Hollywood since the 1980s, but only a few kung fu actors have been recruited over the years. "Hero" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" were also customized based on Hollywood's curiosity about Chinese kung fu and martial arts. As for mixed-race films, I originally thought that "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" would be the pinnacle of the overseas influence of Chinese films. Unexpectedly, Li Mu was so excited that "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was far behind.
Moreover, the Hong Kong film industry knows very well that "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"
After two days of release, it has grossed a solid US$40 million in box office. If it continues to maintain this momentum, it will not be difficult for "Mr. Zombie" to exceed US$200 million in box office in the United States.
This has made everyone in the Hong Kong film industry think about a question: Is Li Mu too awesome, or is he too weak
…
Just when the Hong Kong film industry was deep in thought, the next day's box office pre-sales of "Zombie-Master" had reached 23 million, and there were still 10 million left before the total schedule of 33 million. gap, and there are still nearly twenty-seven hours left to catch up with the remaining 10 million.
At nine o'clock in the evening, Washington time, Harvey Weinstein received the latest pre-sales data for "Zombie-Master". He was so shocked that he no longer even thought about enjoying the nightlife. While he was amazed, he felt even more excited. It's a huge sense of crisis.
Li Mu just put half his foot into the threshold of Hollywood, and he was able to cause such a big earthquake in Hollywood. This damn Mu Film Ticketing System is like a sharp knife inserted into the heart of Hollywood's profit chain. Originally, even Hollywood bosses like him The theater chain, which had to be settled with some effort, has now been completely manipulated by Li Mu.
The theater chain has tasted the benefits of Muying's ticketing system and knows that by introducing this system, they can make more money relying on Li Mu's traffic, so they put aside their usual aloof attitude and cooperated with Li Mu respectfully. If they continue to serve as If this situation continues to develop, it will definitely lead to a complete imbalance in the entire Hollywood industry. A considerable part of Hollywood's income depends on the box office generated by North American theater chains, and it won't be long before North American theater chains will become Li Mu's lapdog begging for mercy. By that time, Other Hollywood studios and distributors will take a huge hit.
Harvey Weinstein made a decision almost instantly: Muying’s ticketing system must die! Hollywood will never allow something this awesome to exist! Otherwise, his status and interests in Hollywood will be in jeopardy!
However, Harvey Weinstein could not find any breakthrough for a while to kill the Muying ticketing system. Moreover, he also knew that his level was too far behind that of Li Mu. If he rashly attacked Li Mu, it would be very dangerous. He may suffer a devastating blow from Li Mu, so this matter needs to be considered in the long run.
Just when Harvey Weinstein was racking his brains to think of a specific operation plan, one of his friends suddenly called and asked him in an incredible tone of exclamation: "Harvey, are you so..." How could a smart person miss a masterpiece like "Zombie-Master"?! You gave up on "Zombie-Master" and conservatively estimated that you lost at least 30 to 40 million US dollars!"
"F*ck!" Harvey Weinstein said with a gloomy look on his face: "I don't want to miss this movie, but the key is that there is no chance to take over!"
"What?!" the other party asked in surprise: "Didn't I say that Li Mu had approached you specifically about the North American release of "Zombie-Master" before? It is said that he hoped that you would distribute the film in North America from the beginning. But you looked down on the prospects of this movie and concluded that it was impossible to make money, so you dealt with Li Mu."
"WTF!" Harvey Weinstein blurted out: "Where did you hear this shit? Li Mu came to me specifically about "Zombie-Master"? What a fucking international joke! I was I wanted to get the distribution rights of this movie, so I contacted Makino Imaging specifically, but the news was like nothing. Makino Imaging didn’t respond to me at all. I originally wanted to find a time to go to China to have a good talk with the people from Makino Imaging. Talking about it, I didn’t expect that Lucas’ old dog with gonorrhea would quietly go to China and successfully obtain the North American distribution rights of “Zombie-Master”! I was anxious and angry about this matter for several days, and even I approached Lucas about co-publishing, but he didn’t buy it at all and didn’t even want to see me!”
"Really?" the other party blurted out.
"Of course it's true!" Harvey Weinstein said angrily: "For this matter, I have been thinking recently about how to make that old dog Lucas pay the price. He wants to use this movie to step on me. On his head, I will definitely make him look good!"
"That's weird!" The other party smacked his lips and said, "Now there is a rumor about you that is being uploaded everywhere on the Internet."
"What rumors?"
"It's what I just said. Li Mu came to you for this movie and asked you to help distribute it in North America, but you rejected him on the grounds that the movie was rubbish. You even said that the movie was a piece of junk that had been around for more than ten years. It’s old shit and North American audiences won’t pay for shit like this!”
"Shit!" Harvey Weinstein suddenly became furious, and he roared: "James, are you smart? Based on your understanding of me, if Li Mu really gives me a chance to face him, you Do you think I would say that to Li Mu?! That's fucking Li Mu! If he asked me to lick the soles of his shoes to be friends with him, I would lick them without hesitation, and I would kneel down to lick them! How could this exist? I ignored him and even satirized him? I wish I could call him dad to his face, if he looked up to me and was willing to cooperate with me!"
The other party was silent for a moment, and then said: "That's really strange! From what I know about you, it is indeed impossible for you to do such a mindless thing. However, this matter is being discussed everywhere on the Internet. There is no doubt that everyone Some American netizens think this is true. Now they are ridiculing you on the Internet, saying that you are a blind arrogant. Some people say that the American audience will unite and smash your face with high box office. The most widely circulated saying is: Today you are indifferent to me, but tomorrow I will make it impossible for you to reach high... "
Harvey Weinstein's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously yelled, "Damn it! What bastard is trying to trick me?!"
