In Hollywood, the operation process of a commercial film is already very skillful.

From when to start the project, when to start production, and when to start the release, there is a very mature process.

According to the post-production speed of "Speed of Life and Death" on Yin Jun's side, Tang Shuxuan set "Speed of Life and Death" on July 17 after convening a meeting of a group of elites from the distribution department.

There are not many hardcore cinema chains that can be contacted now, only more than 500 movie theaters and more than 800 screens have agreed to give the maximum number of films in the first three weeks of July 17.

Most of these cinemas are small and medium-sized cinemas, AMC, Emperor Entertainment Group and Lucky Cinemak Group, these three major cinema chains are not loose at all.

They are waiting to see the edited film, and Xiangjiang will still have to wait until the end of May to complete the production.

It is only through the viewing of the film that their cinema manager can decide how many screens to give.

It's not just about United Arts Movies and Disney, it's about every film company giant.

Hollywood does not allow film companies to directly hold the theater chain, only their entertainment media group can hold it, but this is not much, and it cannot be compared with the three major theater chains in Hollywood.

AMC, Emperor Entertainment Group, and Joy Okrk Group, they have a total of more than 6,000 screens, which is a very scary number.

If any film company can get half of the film schedule, it will definitely make a lot of money.

It's a pity that so far, even blockbuster movies such as "Superman", "Star Wars", and "Raiders of the Lost Ark" have not been able to get such treatment.

There has never even been a movie with 2,000 theaters at the same time, and this record will not be broken until the release of "Beverly Hills" in the previous life.

This is true even for Hollywood movies, let alone a movie from Xiangjiang.

If they hadn't watched "Police Detective School" before, and last month they collectively watched another movie written by Yin Jun - "."

Even if the quality of "Speed of Life and Death" is very good, it is estimated that the three major theaters will not give more than 1,500 screens.

Just these 1,500 screens, most of the reason is that for the sake of Disney and United Arts Films, everyone has been partners for a long time, and this face still needs to be given.

It's just that if "The Speed of Life and Death" does not perform well, then the three major theaters will not hesitate to reduce the scale of the release.

Not only the three major theater chains, even the more than 800 screens that were set before, but also depend on the results to schedule the films, if it is really bad, they have no reason to lose money to support Kirin Movies.

However, the next day, another "Superman 2", which was announced to be released on July 17, received a completely different treatment from "Speed of Life and Death".

Warner Bros., a production and distribution company, gave data that a total of 3,700 screens were collected for "Superman 2", and the number of movie theaters also exceeded 2,000, reaching more than 2,400.

While "Superman 2" broke the record again, it also suppressed the number of films scheduled for "Speed of Life and Death".

There are only so many resources in the cinema, and if you have more, he will naturally have less.

Superman 2 has such widespread support, and of course it will have a big impact on Life and Death.

When Yin Jun got the news, his face showed a solemn expression.

Yu Zheng, general manager of the Kirin Film Company, said angrily, "Is Hollywood bullying newcomers? Why would it put such a blockbuster movie with us? Superman is the most popular idol in the United States! If we collide on the same day, there will definitely be no way to collide with it head-on." ”

"It's not bullying newcomers. Yin Jun came back to his senses and said lightly: "If it is their unintentional move, I'm afraid even ghosts don't want to believe it." This is aimed at our Kirin movie, and I want to beat "Speed of Life and Death". United Arts Pictures and Disney are already half-dead, and if they fall into the predicament of bankruptcy again, will the Hollywood giants, you say, be happy?"

"You mean...... It's not a Warner Bros. family's business, but all of them have joined forces to suppress us?" Yu Zheng was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth.

"Otherwise, how do you explain that "Superman 2" actually won 3,700 screens? How much is "Star Wars 1"? How much is "Star Wars 2"?" Yin Jun said, "There is also "We collaborated with Universal ".", a film that everyone praised, and only got more than 2,900 screens, less than 3,000 screens. You've also watched the finished film, and don't you think it's good enough?"

Yu Zheng's face immediately became gloomy.

If it's just Warner Bros. who wants to grab the box office and crush the Kirin movie, then it makes sense, how can there be no competition in business?

But if it was really the rest of the six Hollywood giants who were conspiring together to give Kirin Movies a head-on blow, things would not be so simple.

No matter how strong the Kirin movie is, let alone having a world-class screenwriter genius like Yin Jun, it can't resist the attacks of the 6 giants in turn!

If you think about it, the movies produced by Kirin Movies either encounter the "Raiders of the Lost Ark" series, or the "Superman" series, or the "Star Trek" series, or even the "Star Wars" series, so what's the matter?

North American audiences also want to look at people, and they want to look at their previous impressions of watching movies.

Shocked by their successful blockbusters, even if the Kirin movie is made well, I am afraid that the income will be greatly reduced.

Not to mention that Yin Jun has already made a decision, except for some European and American actors who have to be filmed, he will try his best to use the Chinese lineup to make movies.

This is in terms of identity, and it is pressed by others.

After counting carefully, Yu Zheng didn't feel a little creepy.

She opened her mouth and had the intention to persuade Yin Jun, let's not go to Hollywood first, let's lay a solid foundation in Asia first, but when she thought of the $3.7 billion that Yin Jun loaned, her heart woke up again.

I can't even talk about it.

Yin Jun can only make a sky in Hollywood to have the possibility of reviving the whole situation.

At that time, even if you want to sell Disney or United Arts Films, you will have the capital to sell it, otherwise when you go bankrupt, others will lower the price and be willing to give you 2 billion US dollars, which is not bad.

After being sad, Yu Zheng saw that although Yin Jun's face was ugly, he was not depressed, and asked unconsciously, "Then Jun Shao, what can you do?"

"This person is making a move, you can't dodge, and you can't dodge. Yin Jun sighed, "I can only face it head-on!"

Nodding, Yu Zheng couldn't help but say, "Are you sure?"

"Nope. Yin Jun said honestly, "If there is no fierce competition, it is normal for "Life and Death" to have a good box office in the United States. But if it is suppressed everywhere, in the film schedule, and in the inherent impression, I am afraid that the box office this time will be a little unsatisfactory!"

In 1994, "Speed of Life and Death" ranked eighth in the United States of the year, with a box office of about $120 million, which seems to be similar to "Superman 2" released this year.

But "Speed of Life and Death" has 13 years of concept, shooting technology and plot crushing, and the North American box office of $120 million is definitely not the end of this life.

But the problem is that the original version of "Speed of Life and Death", starring in supporting roles, are all uniformly Americans, so it is naturally easy to get their approval.

And now in "Life and Death", apart from Eddie Murphy, who else is American?

From this point of view, Yin Jun's previous box office estimate for "Speed of Life and Death" is that it can be considered a big victory if it can reach $100 million in North America.

Now that he is suddenly targeted by Hollywood giants, Yin Jun feels that if he doesn't do anything, I'm afraid he can earn 80 million US dollars, which is good.

However, how could Yin Jun be a silent person who was cheated by others?

When Yu Zheng left, he began to think in his heart.

grabbed the phone, Yin Jun called the post-production department, "Hey, it's me, you can find Zhang Yaozong to come over...... Well, Brother Zhang, don't be busy editing today. Let's find out some of our most intense scenes and cut out 30-, one-, two-, and three-minute trailers for me...... yes, I'll come over later, we'll be busy together!"

After finishing speaking, Yin Jun hung up the phone and walked out of the office directly.

If "Speed of Life and Death" is released like this in the United States, it can't even compare to a single hair of "Superman 2".

But what if, from now on, "Speed of Life and Death" continues to release wonderful edits?

It's like 20 years later, those Hollywood blockbusters.

Nima still has a year to go before it is released, but the trailers of the first, second, and third versions were released early, which amused the interest of fans.

Then when it is released, everyone's pent-up enthusiasm will explode in an instant, directly supplying a large amount of box office to these blockbusters.

One or two hundred million dollars for three days on the weekend is not a matter at all!

Yin Jun didn't think to do this.

Because he knows that he is just a newcomer in Hollywood, and it is not suitable for too much fanfare, he should bury his head in hard work, continue to develop slowly, and consolidate his strength and position.

However, now Yin Jun knows.

People don't hurt the tiger's heart, and the tiger hurts people's minds.

Hollywood is a place full of competition and deceit, and none of these giants are fuel-efficient lamps.

You don't want to provoke them, but they have long treated you as a piece of fat, showing a fierce light, and resorting to methods, they want to swallow you in one bite.

Everyone is knocking on the door, and at this time, I'm still low-key and fart!

Since there is no way to develop in a low-key manner, let's make it clear that the carriage and horses will fight!

Start with this trailer!

I don't believe it.

With my 40 years of experience beyond this era, can't I rely on fine movies to make a world?

I have watched the first cut of "The Speed of Life and Death" several times, not only is it not worse than the previous life, but Fei Xiang is even tougher than Keanu Reeves.

In terms of the handling of details, I have the original "Speed of Life and Death" as a reference, and many places have been finely corrected.

It is no exaggeration to say that if the original "Speed of Life and Death" has 80 points, this version produced by my Yin Jun, except for the fact that it is not a European and American actor, can at least reach 90 points!

How many movies in Hollywood can reach this level now?

doesn't blow it or black, even if Yin Jun sees "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and "Star Wars", he feels a little unsightly.

After all, anyone who has watched "Iron Man", "Star Wars: Phantom Crisis", "The Avengers", "Avatar" and other masterpieces, and then watched movies 40 years ago, will feel this way.

And my "Speed of Life and Death" is at least at the production level around 2000!

With a 20-year age difference, I have no reason to fail!
